Of course, there are high stakes competitions, but he will work hard to be the best!īut, as a foil to our protagonist, there are his supporting cast. He makes a lot more enemies than friends at the start, but his passion and drive soon have him surrounded by a good bunch as he takes on seemingly impossible challenges, each time surpassing his limits. Raise your hands if you heard this before: a teen from a modest/poor background is somehow in a school with rich/talented/famous kids, and he must prove himself the best among them through hard work and determination. Oh yeah, there's tentacle rape in the first episode. A genre I hate, made with charisma and over the top antics, aimed at both the people who love the genre and at people who like mocking it. It is to school life shounen what Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is to mecha shounen. What can I say? There is a combination of earnestness and a wink to the audience that just makes Food Wars! irresistable. But I cannot deny the effortless charm in the execution. Anyone who knows cooking will laugh his ass off at the reactions (and at least some of the recipes I'm sorry to break it to you believers, but a burger without meat will always suck compared to a burger with meat). The fan service is blatant and hilarious. There is only one character that acts remotely normal, and he walks around naked. Fun.Įverything is over the top in the series. The drama is so artificial that it goes beyond ridiculous. The plot is a thin at best, but it's fun. Because perhaps the greatest thing in Food Wars! is that it brings out a feeling of childish fun. This is a show that everyone who attempts to view as an adult should hate, but everyone loves. It has everything you should absolutely loathe about Japanese animation, yet is just so funny and you can't be sure if the charisma is intentional or not.
Shameless fan service, a silly shounen plot inside a competition anime, various mumbo jumbo about cooking which is sometimes kinda true and at times just wrong but feels right. Deceptively little actually happens throughout the show and you can find yourself clinking on the next episode simply because you want something to happen and nothing ever really happens.įood Wars! is everything both good and bad about Japan at the same time, and it is glorious. be warned however, if you decide to give it a try it can eat your time fairly quickly. If you just want a show to turn your brain off and watch goofy poorly written nonsense and have some laughs(it is funny at some points) then given it a try. Megumi is honestly the only decent character in the whole show(other than kinda saoma)because while she is very cliche she also has some depth and actual struggles that she has to overcome.Ĭonclusion: This show is very overrated and with all the lazy shonen tropes you've seen before but with a new skin. the rest of the characters have some INCREDIBLE "super power" or skill set that they use to cook and yes. love interest is the worst kind of tsundere, who is a pretty much a princess that was born better than everyone, but only the main character doesn't treat her like a princess THEREFORE she loves him. the main character is typical shonen bland which isn't that bad if your into that, but all the other characters range from bad to "omg how can you make characters that are this horrible". moving on.Ĭharacters: oh dear where to start. the main story is even further cluttered and pulled down by the introduction of the love interest and all of the insanely overused shonen tropes.Īnimation: nothing to complain about. the plot is doomed before it even begins with the beyond ridiculous and nonsensical(in a bad way) food tasting scenes which let you know right off the bat that cooking is nothing but a hollow shell of a plot device. Story: the store starts off with a decent base with a young aspiring chef leaving home and what he thought was going to be a fairly secure life to challenge himself among the best of the best in his field. Score Disclaimer: 1=the worst of the worst 5= average 10= perfection. i will however, talk about some general points so that people who are thinking about watching this show should most likely stay away from it. i just wanted to offer a counter too all the undeserved praise this show is getting. I'm not going to go into a ton of detail because this show is not worth the time.
