Shokugeki no Soma Review

Something a bit more upbeat.

Soma dreams of being a full time chef in his family's restaurant but when his father acquires a job travelling the world, Soma is sent to Totsuki Culinary Academy where only the most elite students become the best chefs in the world, the competition is hot with everyone engaging in Shokugeki battles not much different to iron chef battles. With tournaments, hostile takeovers, the endless threat of expulsion, evil organisations and all the foodgasms on offer, Soma is in for one wild ride.
I love food, I love absurd humour, I love seeing over reactions to the taste of food, I love me a good dose of food wars, it absolutely nails the subject matter and turns every scene into an over the top shonen series.
It's always a positive to see a series so passionate about it's subject, all the food looks delicious and watching the characters orgasm over the taste is just the icing on the cake.
If I have any complaints is that later seasons tend to over complicate the plot with too many shonen elements, also the constant threat of expulsion ceases to be a threat as early as season 2, at this point, it's on season 5 and I think it's out stayed it's welcome.
Dub is fine but more effective in Japanese.
Final Verdict: Food Wars easily sucks you in with the promise of tasty orgasmic food but too much of a good thing is bad for you and you'll likely stop by season 4.
