Shokugeki no Soma (Food Wars)
Shokugeki no Soma is a cooking anime show so if you like food of the gourmet kind then this is a must watch! I do get confused when people call this Food Wars since it sounds like one of the many food tv shows out there. Heck, there's one called Food Fight!
This anime is about Yukihira Souma, a young boy who works alongside his father at a Japanese diner restaurant that they own. The father and son often have challenge each others culinary skills with customers as the judge, and the son hasn't won against his father once. His father suddenly decides to put the restaurant on hiatus, and send Souma to one of the most difficult culinary school in Japan. Souma's main goal is to be able to beat his father, and his experience in this school of many talented and strong students and staff will help him achieve that goal.
This show is entertaining and even educational. It is also silly since the character's reactions and descriptions of the food their eating is rather pornographic in a silly way. When they eat delicious food they literally have an orgasm, and the show will show a visual of how orgasmic the food is. I am surprised they could keep that up and make it feel repetitive since this show is 2-cour.
The best part of this show is really the food more than the characters. The food looks and sounds amazing in every episode. The variety and uniqueness of the food in this show is impressive too. The characters goes through difficult and unique challenges that makes this show entertaining and exciting. Each challenge takes up a few episodes. Even though I hardly cared about the characters in this show I do find this entertaining. If this has a second season I will definitely want to watch it.
My Rating: 8.5/10
Would I recommend it? Definitely
Can you eat while watching this? Having some to eat is a must. Your appetite will soar
