I fully enjoyed Yakitate Japan up through the end of the Monaco Arc and still consider that portion of the show to be one of my favorites. It was interesting, and it had a lot of heart. Everything past that I can take or leave, and I never bothered reading the manga past then as I heard Kawachi got further relegated to joke status and things just got completely out of hand with bread people and the reactions.

I felt Yakitake Japan was good up until somewhere in the Monacco Cup, I think even up through the final matches before the main character's time travel bread that changed history. That final match though, and pretty much everything that came after it, totally ruined the series for me.
Maybe it's because I was young or because I love happy endings, but despite its utter absurdity I loved the way Pierrot's story arc ended. Past that though I do agree. I tried to like it, but there were too many stupid battles and reactions like the Panda transformation and the long LotR parody killed the pace of the show and it ended badly. I heard the manga wasn't any better so I left it alone, though I heard enough things to confirm that as a good idea.

I started reading Bambino and enjoyed it, but haven't gone back to read more of it yet due to time. Out of curiosity, did anyone watch the J-Drama they made of it, and if so, how does it compare?
