Shokugeki no Souma

Shokugeki no Souma – 09

May 29, 2015Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, reviews, Shokugeki no Souma
Comments (3)

Now we’re cooking. In ways both material and philosophical, this adaptation of Shokugeki no Souma is almost eerily accurate.  It’s even following the manga in starting out as a somewhat forgettable diversion and slowly transitioning into something more, revealing the depths of its own cleverness and perversity along the way.  […] Read more

Shokugeki no Souma – 08

May 23, 2015Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, reviews, Shokugeki no Souma

Shokugeki no Souma is like a classic rock station where every song is covered by a band you’ve never heard before. The hits just keep on coming, as Food Wars continues its quest to check off every shounen cliche in the book.  You can add the fated rival and the […] Read more

Shokugeki no Souma – 07

If there was ever a show about which the word “shameless” was perfectly suited, it’s Shokugeki no Souma. Why do I like this series?  It’s unapologetically sexist (though you can safely preface every adjective with “unapologetically” where Souma is concerned), with some of the most crass fanservice you’ll ever see.  […] Read more

There was nothing useless about that meat. I’m still on the fence with Shokugeki no Souma, even after six episodes.  I like it, and in fact I liked this ep quite a bit.  I know the manga does get better over time.  There’s also the fact that it airs on […] Read more

There’s stuff to like with Shokugeki no Souma, no question.  But is it enough? Whilst I sincerely appreciate the angst all those naked apron scenes surely caused the otaku who otherwise have many reasons to enjoy Food Wars (and indeed, that disconnect is one of the things I like about […] Read more

Shokugeki no Souma – 04

Fittingly enough, Shokugeki no Souma is really all about taking the bitter with the sweet. I suppose I’m close to the point here of needing to make a decision about Food Wars, and it’s not an easy one.  For just about every thing I like about the series there’s something […] Read more

Shokugeki no Souma – 03

You can’t spell “Shameless” without without the “SH” in “Shoukugeki”. Or something… I’ll give J.C. Staff credit here, because they’re delivering the goods with Shokugeki no Souma for better and worse.  This is a studio known for faithful adaptations (along with Pierrot probably the most faithful on average, I’d say) […] Read more

Shokugeki no Souma – 02

For a series about cooking, I think Shokugeki no Souma’s recipe is an extremely simple one. I suppose there are two audiences for every popular WSJ adaptation – fans of the manga and new viewers.  That’s true for every adaptation of course, but it seems more germane with shounen titles […] Read more

First Impressions – Shokugeki no Souma

Now that’s what I call food porn. OP: “Kibou no Uta” (希望の唄;Song of Hope) by ULTRATOWER The premiere of Shokugeki no Souma was pretty good, but not as entertaining as the reactions of viewers who didn’t know what they were getting.  Yes, this is a WSJ adaptation – but it’s […] Read more
