Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma Audience Reviews

Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Ploydsge just watch it!
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Irishchatter Now the humour was great like it made me laugh, but I found there was room for improvement regards to the storyline and the humour itself. It's always every time a person tastes such delicious food from Yukihira, they turns this from cooking style anime to a kind of Hentai style anime where people tend to take off their clothes. It personally made me very bored in that way, I mean that's pretty unrealistic. I mean who would you honestly see a person having their clothes off just because they tasted such yummy food? That's right, absouletely no one, why the hell can't the writers think of something better rather then turn this into a hidden porno?! Aside from the cons, I thought the food was mouth watering and the character Yukihira was a pretty likeable character on this! He definately would beat Gordan Ramsay and Jamie Oliver if he had the chance haha!This isn't my favourite nor the best anime I've seen but I'll give it a 7/10 for Yukihiri plus the delicious food I would love to try from Japan! ^^
christian-schenk987 I absolutely enjoyed this anime. It has some of the funniest things that I have ever seen. You just have to watch the first three episodes to know that it is truly glorious. If you do not like it by then, just go ahead and stop.The only thing I think is important to mention is that people who are not all too fond of ecchi stuff might find it unappealing. But other than that it has everything that you want to have in an anime. Character development, comedy, PERFECT animation (the visuals are insane), fantastic soundtracks (why does a cooking anime have soundtracks that rival attack on titan soundtracks?!), tension and some very heartfelt moments.Considering that there are not that many really good comedy anime out there (you probably can count them with both hands), you should give it a go.
Mayank Agarwal An anime on food sure piqued my interest. It was good enough for binge watch, the highlight is the display of one scrumptious dish after another. The animation is real good in displaying the dishes, from presentation, to aroma, to inside filling, it's able to capture the essence of well-made dishes. The story itself is straightforward, a young boy's dream of becoming a top chef, it covers his growth and battles in a culinary school against others with similar dreams, although unoriginal it works. The characters come in different colors and unique personality but in the end are all likable, there is no evil person here. There is one problem with the anime, it may be the highlight for some or put others off, the extra dose of ecchi and fan service, it does go overboard in expressing characters' reactions after they eat the food, still, it's an anime, and is kind of expected. In the end, it was a very entertaining anime for me, I ended up watching both the dubbed season 1 & 2 and am looking forward to season 3.
Tweekums Protagonist Soma Yukihira works in his father's restaurant and hopes one day to surpass his father's culinary skills. He also believes that one day he will take over running the restaurant but when his father takes a job overseas and closes the restaurant he finds himself at the prestigious Totsuki Culinary Academy; a chefs' school where only the very best graduate and failing even one test will lead to instant expulsion! On his first day there he proclaims that not only does he expect to graduate he expects to be the top student! This doesn't make him too popular with many of the other students but as the series progresses he passes test after test as well as challenges with rivals; during this time he also helps others and even risks his place at the school to support those he believes are being treated badly. By the end of the final episode he is popular but still far from graduating.This series was rather fun; Soma was an enjoyable if somewhat arrogant protagonist and the supporting cast were entertaining too. The food is almost as much a star of the show as the characters and we are left in no doubt when the judges enjoy a particular dish… their reactions are almost literally 'food porn' as they are shown in a state that borders on sexual ecstasy! This doesn't do too far though; it is just an excuse for some moderate fan service. The various competitions are surprisingly exciting and it is always interesting to see what exotic dish each of the protagonists will come up with as they combine cooking styles from many sources. Strangely we never see the students actually being taught anything and they seem to do well in their challenges because of knowledge they brought with them rather than anything taught to them… this doesn't really matter though as it serves the drama to have each person have their own special ideas. Given that the series ends before his graduation it is quite possible that there will be further series; I certainly hope there are as it was rather fun.These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
