I was wondering whether anyone here downloaded the anime "Food Wars
Shokugeki no Soma" that was posted a while back?
I thoroughly enjoyed that series. Most visitors to this group are more
interested in legitamate cooking shows and not fictional anime
stories, but the series of 24 episodes was about a boy whose
world-class chef father sent him to a world-class cooking school in
Japan. The curriculum at the school proceeded much as the cooking
competitions on Food Network, such as Next FN Star or Iron Chef, and
the rivalries among the students, many of whom came from families well
up in the food/dining world.
For those who enjoy some of the flowery evaluations, or criticisms, of
judges in those television competitions, you'll really go for some of
the excessively flowery evals of the judges in the series, along with
the near-orgasmic reactions by the judges when tasting the entries,
and the descriptions of the ingredients involved in these super haute
cuisine dishes the kids come up with.
I found the series most entertaining (though it ended somewhat
ambiguously, leaving itself open for a second series, which may or may
not be produced), but those who enjoy those real-life competitions on
Food Network/Channel may well find this series a fun diversion. Highly
recommended. Spoken in Japanese with English subtitles.
