Anime Review: Shokugeki No Souma

Who does not like to eat? Admin likes to eat, you also must like to eat. Well, today we will review anime shounen and cooking genre. Seeing this anime alone has made us drool.

Well, the anime we will review today is Shokugeki no Souma. Shokugeki no Souma is known as an anime featuring culinary delights with slick graphics.


Anime that taken from the manga by Yuto Tsukuda and Shun Saeki tells the story of the adventures of a young chef named Yukihira Souma in the culinary world. Since childhood, Souma has learned to cook at his father's Yukihira's restaurant. After graduating from junior high school, Souma's father told him to go to school at Totsuki, a special high school for talented chefs in Japan. In order to enter Totsuki, Souma must pass the cooking test. This is where Souma first met with Nakiri Erina as a tester. Unfortunately, Nakiri Erina that dubbed as 'the Tongue of Gods', states that Souma did not pass.

Although Souma's cooking is delicious, Nakiri's self-esteem is too high, she does not recognize the greatness of Souma because Souma only makes home-cooked and cheap cooking.

Fortunately, Nakiri Senzaemon, Nakiri Erina's grandfather, as Totsuki's school principal saw the incident. Then surprisingly, he sent a letter receipt of Souma as one of Totsuki's students. Souma began an adventure in Totsuki to become the greatest. This anime tells about war cooking, so almost every episode there must be food.

So it would be better if you were watching this anime are advised to bring snacks to avoid hunger later lol.

For the artwork of this anime no need to be asked again, the details of the body and expression, as well as the angle point of view of this anime are all very precise. Though it was apparent that Souma would mostly win against some other genius chefs, the anime provided logic for the audience to believe that Souma's victory was not just as the main character.

The first season of this anime has been released in April 2015, the second season has been released in July 2016, and the third season has been released in October 2017. And it was announced that Shokugeki no Souma will continue his story in the fourth season in April 2018. Anime lovers cannot wait want to watch the continuation of the Souma story in Shokugeki no Souma season four. For everyone who loves to cook and likes to watch food war, I highly recommend this anime to watch!
