    [PokeCommunity.com] Shokugeki no Souma

     
    Seeing as I'm up-to-date with the manga and I did it all in two days, you can already guess that I'm a big fan of the series. I just hope J.C Staff does the series justice (which it usually does!).

    I love the art, the story (the way they've transformed a cooking show into a battlefield baffles me!), the lovable characters (souma, nikumi, the whole gang in fact haha) and, last but not the least, that amazing usage of ecchi. I love the ecchi bits in this series. They're very well done. Tasteful and sexy without coming off as overly forceful. <3

    Seriously, I LOVE the series SO, SO much! Really, really looking forward to the first episode in a few days' time! Hope most of you give it a shot and not just leave it out because it is "just a cooking anime". :v
     
    Well after seeing two of some of the first anime out of the season, I can say this season is definitely going to be an enjoyable one.

    Spoiler: Episode 1- first thoughts and impressions

    Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma definitely left me with a great first impression as the first new anime I've watched this season. Although I don't normally get to watch many, I am a huge fan of both food based anime and manga, however the last one I watched was Yumeiro Patissiere - and that was quite a while back. However, in comparison to Yumeiro Patissiere slightly more delicate and slow animation to their baking, Food Wars' intense and fast paced cooking animation was brilliant (which fit well with the type of cooking style the anime presented).

    [PokeCommunity.com] Shokugeki no Souma

    From the first episode we are introduced to main character Yukihira Soma. An 15 year old cook who aspires to defeat his father, become a better chef and take over the family restaurant. I already do like anime where one aspires to be better than someone he looks up to, and the rivalry he's created with his father was pretty fun to watch.

    ​
    I'm really enjoying Matsuoka Yoshitsugu's portrayal of Soma and mixed with his character design/ colour palette makes him a pretty likeable character. Even though he cause a lot of food orgasms to the people who eat is food, I do like how he isn't one of those nosebleeding boob obsessed main characters.

    Although fanservicey stuff isn't high on my plate, I don't think it'll be not much of a problem from the way it's presented in food wars. The in your face foodgasm fanservice scenes are pretty hilarious.

    The food animation and designs were also pretty brilliant. This anime is going to be the reason I crave to eat more food after every Saturday.

    Really excited what's going to go down with Soma going to the elite cooking school and an introduction to all the new characters:

    As for first impressions I'm giving it an 8-8.5/10. Definitely can't wait for next week!
     
    J.C STAFF PUTTING IN THE WORK.

    Spoiler:
     
    I kinda wanted more from the opening. :c Maybe this'll grow on me and I'll end up loving it. Right now I just sort of like it. :p DAT egg flip in DA OP though! Like ^, didn't expect to see it there :p

    As for the episode itself, yeah - it was pretty enjoyable. The ecchi bits were given as much focus as I'd imagined so that's that.

    Spoiler:


    As long as JC keeps this up I can easily see this being one of my faves of all time. :D
     
    Wow. This is way more ecchi than I thought. And a lot of foodgasms haha. I think I'll enjoy watching this, although it's back to hiding inside my room for watching anime once again haha.

    I think the meaning of "foodgasms" and "food porn" has a different meaning from this point on.

    On a serious note, it definitely reminds me of Yakitate Japan, though not a huge fan of the whole ecchi bit...Guess I'll watch a couple more episodes before seeing if I'll drop it.

    Lol I thought they always did. I've always viewed food porn as being visually appetizing food.
    "Food porn is a glamourized spectacular visual presentation of cooking or eating in advertisements, infomercials, blogs cooking shows or other visual media"

    While foodgasms is basically the definition of Shokugeki no Souma xD
     
    I watch a show with lots of food porn, and yeah, I always thought that it means "visually appealing cooking". Hence why I said foodgasms at my previous post instead haha. Much more erotic foodgasms than Koufuku Graffiti haha.

    Didn't think foodgasms would actually result in, well, y'know. I always viewed it as a simply saying that eating said food would result in a euphoric feeling, mostly mentally, not physically, haha. But Shokugeki no Souma has proven me wrong. Overly dramatic reactions, very similar to Yakitate Japan.
     
    C'EST MERVEILLEUX. THAT HONEY.

    For manga readers. Anyone else noticed Sadatsuka in the tree near the end of the episode? lmao.
     
    Tadokoro in this episode was on point.

    Spoiler:


    The speech was toned down a bit in the adaptation. In the original, Souma was much more condescending lol.
     
    I don't remember if Souma's speech was more condescending or not but I do remember it having a little more impact in the manga. Either way, I personally feel like the pacing is fine as is. Wouldn't want them to skip on important content but I think they've been doing a good job so far.

    i don't really have much more to add on this tbh haha. i enjoy this stuff quite a bit. much fun.
