I must say, i adore this. I don't really like or watch anime. I have enough drama in my life as it is already. I liked Vampire Hunter D and the sequel Bloodlust, i loved Ninja Scroll and i still love Ninja Scroll, but since then i haven't really enjoyed anything as far as Anime goes.
And out of Nowhere, we have Food Wars. I love this. It's amazing. And it's actually accurate.
It made me start cooking again. I forgot how much i enjoyed cooking.
On top of that it have the standard intrigues and whatever. Of course, it's about high school students being high school students, but it also have intrigue and feelings, and food and many other things.
Probably there are other animes, that are actually way better as far as anime goes, but i don't care. I love Food wars, i just watched the last episode (s2e08) and i want e09...
Quick speculation:
Do you think he actually did all 3 things - smoked, dried and pickled the fish, to increase the taste, or am i completely off track and he entered his usual squid with peanut butter state from the early S1 episodes?
I've watched some food wars and tried to recreate some of the recipe (I can cook for a family, but I'm no chef). I can't say I ripped my clothes of in mouthgasm. Some of it actually worked, others were like "dafuq am I suppoused to do this."
Started reading the manga when it first came out, seemed enjoyable. Then it went to over the top, and became cringey, so i dropped it.
I'm not even gonna bother touching the anime.
I've also been reading the manga since it's release. Honestly the anime is more entertaining than the manga. The manga is good but there is a lot of cliffhanger chapters which is somewhat annoying.
Yeah I watch it..I like it..
I made the chaliapin steak..
Here is another anime if you just want some recipes..
