"I've been eating the wrong food!!"

Hercule Pyro

Now this is not a show I expected but a welcome one! Its weird but one of my favs (until the final arc... its ass

Kris

Food Wars! Also known as "Foodgasm: The Anime."

PG Modehouse

Opening and Ending themes are part of the ethos of the anime watching experience! I, for one, love the first ending theme of Shokugeki no Souma. It's a song called "Spice" by Tokyo Karan Koron.

Also sometimes there are post credit scenes. Try not to miss them.

With every anime, there's a certain amount of what Geoff Thew, of the Mother's Basement YouTube channel, likes to call Anime Bullshit. These are tropes common in this medium starting in the 70s and 80s, things like: wind blowing up skirts flashing underwear, ridiculous boob physics, pervy old men stealing underwear from people's laundry hung out to dry, etc etc. that you kinda just have to shrug off to get to the meat and potatoes, which is the story. Similarly there are character tropes like the many "-dere" characters, you'll start to notice these the more you watch. Food Wars is not subverting any expectations in this regard. Sometimes you get anime with none of that, which is always nice to see.

Second comment for whenever you read these. The creators of this anime actually did significant research into culinary techniques so pretty much everything you see here is accurate.

I liken it to some of the cheesy tropes you catch in popular 80s movies or some of the angstier trends from 90s flicks. Vestiges of the cultures/zeitgeist that these products are apart of. Sometimes you roll with it if the vibes are catching you, other times its almost groan inducing.

What I love about this series is that while it goes way over the top in the best way with the reactions and such, it is also extremely evident that the writers did a lot of research on culinary techniques that actually exist and that the animators went to extreme lengths to make the food look as delicious as possible. As someone with a culinary degree, it makes me excited to cook. Also, I am willing to bet that I am not the only one that thinks we should be allowed to see the end result of any attempts George makes at making some of the food in this series. 🙂

Or even just the not-pervy tropes like chibi animation, the giant forehead sweat bubble, the overexaggerated popped-veins angry face, these are all things that I assume Japanese viewers take as basic elements of the medium just like Americans like me aren't that bothered by silly 80s western action movie tropes. They still take me out of it in shows like Demon Slayer or Fullmetal Alchemist, where you have this incredibly heavy subject matter until it switches into one of these tropes. I like FMA a lot more than Demon Slayer because of how much it does ultimately go way beyond expectations in how mature and complex of a story it's telling but the "anime bullshit" is an annoying distraction from that for me. There is anime with none of that, and my favorites tend to be in that category; Studio Ghibli's output has zero "anime bullshit" IMO, Attack on Titan doesn't really have any, similar with Cowboy Bebop; Wolf's Rain; Now and Then, Here and There; and a few others.

I think the chibi style, forehead sweat bubble, or bulging forehead vein are fine, I enjoy them, even in "serious" seinen titles. But that's probably just because of constant exposure to these emotional shorthand characterizations over the past 30 years.

Wait... Did I miss the first 100 episodes?? I'm so behind. (Fat fingered the deleted message)

Hercule Pyro

I think its meant to be Season 1 Episode 01-03 abbreviated to 101-103

Food Wars - or: what happens when you want to make a aports anime but you've ran out of sports (see also Keijo)

Jean-Dominic Lapointe

I don’t really watch anime (except Dragonball z when I was a kid), but I’ll give it a go with YouTubers I enjoy.

rycolaa

Yakitate Japan! walked so Food Wars could run. Similar type of concept except it would be about breadmaking as opposed to Food and a lot less fan servicing

Logan Kerlee

I really did enjoy this! I've already watched all there is for this so there won't be any surprises for me but I'm all for you both watching and reacting to this! :) Such a fun show that's both entertaining and delicious.

Philipp Roensch

Great, another show to go hungry with, and horny? Either way, taking notes for recipes. I've seen season 01 already, but with you guys it will be another level of appreciation. The concept is simple and effective, what if intense battle anime and all the other shōnen tropes, but the contest is excellent cooking. Also, using the reality bending nature of anime to it's fullest. Genus.

Philipp Roensch

Tentacle pron has a long tradition, more people than you might think like to appreciate long limbs, submission to multiple arms and bondage. The octopus can be a stand in for all of that, art with women and tentacles has been around for hundreds of years. The Academy seems to be like many private schools, funded by the richest, who pay millions just to get their kid in and others out. There was such a line in E01. I'm more wondering how corner restaurant dad got his son in?

TomGas2025

Why does this remind me on Golden Boy? Can I recommend you take a look at Agent Aika?

Chris Miller

I was just telling a friend of mine the other day that I wanted to rewatch Food Wars, perfect timing! :-)

ANNNNNNND FOOD WARS 😭

Charlie Ito

! I didn't know that, thanks for this

Charlie Ito

Delicious pick of a show I'm so glad you did not realize what you were getting into; that's the experience I had when I started watching it, too.

Divinerights

Because you're watching food wars, I must ask for the film reaction of Tampopo. Japanese 'Western' about a woman being taught by a cowboy-esque how to be a better chef. Great comedy. Ridiculous food stuff.

Opti_Frog

So happy that you're doing Food Wars in addition to Demon Slayer. It feels like you're keeping the door open for anime that aren't just shounen, action and mainstream. The anime i enjoy most tend to be more offbeat and quirky. Like Toradora, Interviews With Monster Girls, Sakura-sou no Pet na Kanojo and D-Frag. One thing i love in anime, and this is present and correct in Food Wars, is making something quite mundane TOTALLY FUCKING EPIC in a hilarious way.

michael denny

watching this on Disney plus makes me laugh more than it should.

Mike Kay

I'm so happy to be introduced to this series and share the watch for my first time as well. This show is pretty entertaining and surprisingly hilarious! The 'Honey Bukkake' scene had me laughing out loud..

Mike Kay

I'm new to it as well and really enjoying it!

Old School Drew

I know nothing about anime and when I seen the title I thought it was a Japanese cooking show. Very funny I look forward to seeing more

Logan Kerlee

That's awesome, Mike! Glad that you're enjoying it. :)

KingSnitchGaming

I'm not sure if you notice later on or not, but I'm pretty sure Souma's voice actor is the same as Inosuke from Demon Slayer

Katie I

So disappointed. Really hoped this was the food competition show (like Halloween Wars). I thought George and Simone would be judging and making themselves hungry 😂 Gave it a shot but 10mins in reminded me exactly why I don’t watch anime 🤦🏼‍♀️
