While it has been a while since I watched the first two seasons of Food Wars, it's sad how much less I enjoyed this season (particularly S3 part 2) compared to the previous ones & there are several obvious reasons why my enjoyment decreased so dramatically.
For starter's I can only suspend my belief so much. The challenge of having Central trying to expel some rebellious students from the school & ONLY wanting gourmet restaurants just seems so far-fetched to me. I can't imagine it would actually be that hard to kick some kids out if they really wanted to, especially since Central has no issues playing unfairly. I also cannot comprehend how they think they can just eliminate all non-gourmet restaurants. Like where do people go to eat who can't afford that? They're out of luck? Just seems a…

This has the same problems as before (look at my first 12 episodes review) and one more: there is no need to fight fairly.
If all the teachers and judges are paid and under the director influence thay can simply say that the food is bad and expel the rebels.
Gosh they could even expel them without any reason.
The facty is that we didn't need such a villain, the series was good enough when the obstacals were harsh teachers, the very competive world of high cousine and other very talented students, there is no space for a totally evil villain in a fight were the wepons are subjective (food taste is not absolute) and even more if everythng happens behind closed doors (even diving is subjective but a flawed judgment during the olympics will be seen by many)

Hi guys, it me Zaki here
What I want to say about this current season of Shokugeki no Souma: Central
Arc. For me, the characters is good but the ending of this season is too rush. I
cannpt see the fight between ex 3rd seat vs his opponent.
This season did not have much variety, a little bit of comedy and less fighting cook because of current ruler by Azami that abolish all clubs and focus to the
rebels like Souma and his friends. This season shows a background of
Souma Father and his friends during his schools
For the op of this season, focus on ice and snow. Before this, has fire for
background for season 1, 2 and 3. Overall, I give 7.5/10 because of less
fight in this seasons. I take 2 weeks to finish this anime because busy doing
assignment

This season picks up right where the last one left off. Erina and Azami have their minds blown and shortly afterwards Erina explains a little bit of her past to Souma. Souma then cooks for her in an attempt to do what he swore he would do very early in the first season of the show. Souma does help Erina figure something out.
We find out next that the school itself has advancement exams and if you fail these exams you can not graduate from first or second year. Needless to say it is the final cut of students that are trimmed away from the bulk of the student body. This advancement test will be in phases and as you pass each phase the students will travel throughout Hokkaido. Souma just helping Erina to realize something very important makes Erina want to help him as well as the rest of Pol…

Story 9/10
This season begins with the students on final exams for first years with Soma and his friends in trouble as Central uses every trick in the book to cause them to fail. The season ends with the beginning of a team Shokugeki for control of the school if Soma and his friends can win they will become the Elite Ten and save the school.
Another excellent season there are some really good story moments with plenty of action and drama but also some quieter feel good moments as Soma and his friends spend some quality time together in between having to fight for their school life.
Art 8/10
The art style involving the food and characters remain excellent with some excellent scenery as the exams take place in snowy Hokkaido.
Sound 9/10
The sound, music and voice acting remain excelle…

First review status here. On the flip side this continuation of Shokugeki no Souma has created a whole new athmosphere of intensity! More battles, more action, and even higher odds. Considering this has officially turned to the battlefield instead of a simple slice of life, the over all plot intensifies.
Personally i love this style of art and by spending the last seasons on character development, this one took advantage of that prior knowledge and really sparks the beauty behind each characters development.
I love to recommend this season to several of my friends and I honestly would recommend it to probably everyone because its just a bunch of fun and really does show the awesome jam packed battle that food wars have become!

I finally understand why sequel seasons get higher ratings; not only does the audience shrink to those who liked the previous seasons (mostly), but the writing gets more polished and more focused.
Here, with the 3rd season, we see this in full play: energy, entertaining plot twists and suspense.
Story & Characters: 7/10
I'm grouping these together because they're similar. If you were to describe the plot, it's essentially a shonen with cooking. The characters are those you'd find in any standard anime of this genre: always supportive, optimistic, good always triumphs etc etc. But that's something we learn in season 1.
No, we've stuck around til season 3 because it's not about the end result, but the journey - and this is usually what makes and breaks your standard shounen as well. The…

Shokugeki No Soma is a strange beast. It annoys me, but makes me laugh all the same. It's like one of those annoying friends who keep on bugging you, but you can't help but like them a little.
Story: The story in Shokugeki No Soma is the low point of the series, meaning, there isn't much story. Soma wants to become a better chef than his dad and ends up going to a high class culinary school. The plot is simple, but it works. In the world of Shokugeki No Soma people settle a lot of their disputes through food battles, which have people make extreme reactions according to the food. This ends up with mostly being ecchi stuff, like people losing their clothing, but can be fun ("Oops. I turned into a young girl for a second" hint hint). Tragically, I think the writers must have had a hard time…

As we encroach ever further towards the maga's more recent arcs, Shokugeki no Souma has proved itself to be as popular as ever by pulling off yet another half cliffhanger by separating a major arc into two separate seasons. So, how does this second half of the third season stack up to what we've seen previously? Well, poorly. At least by comparison.
Story:
Previously on Shokugeki no Souma, all of Tootsuki Academy is now taken over by Azami Nakiri, Erina's father who has instilled a regime on the cooking academy that gets rid of competition within the students by sacrificing their own individuality as chefs and cooks and turning them into carbon copies of each other in order to make it so that 'Central's' gourmet is the only gourmet food that's worth existing and everything else is con…

Once again, Shokugeki no Souma has been amazing. I remember back to when I was shiny new to anime and refused to watch it because it was too ecchi and I shake my head at myself. The fanservice is back this season but it's still more of a funny aspect of the show than anything serious so it's still fine.
The biggest reason I loved this season was the character development. Talking about some of the characters before this season started - especially Erina - I was frustrated to realise there was such little development going on from season to season. I wanted Yukahira to stop being quite such a mystery and and I wanted Erina to do more than flip her hair and be elitist. I got it! We get info on Joichiro's time at Toutsuki and Erina gets growth like crazy.
I'm not sure if this would make sen…

I'm going to have a hard time waiting for the next season of this anime.
The suspense, action, and drama in this half of season three is unmatched by any other arc of Shokugeki no Soma. It is quite a lot to follow as there is a lot of new information thrown at you all at once, but it's amazing nonetheless.
These final twelve episodes will finally answer some questions you may have had about the more mysterious characters in the series. Isshiki and Joichiro are a couple examples of that. The battles get way more intense, and the sense of comradery between former adversaries is formed.
Besides all that, the singular best thing about this half of the season is the fact that we get to see some serious development from Erina. The friendships and bonds she forms with everyone is truly awes…

Oh shit another sequel has just ended, and we're left to wait for another sequel, anyways, nothing sooo far has changed after the 4th sequel, Polar Star Dormitory Roques were still not done with them Elite 10 yet, and it'll probably take a couple of more sequel to end it unless JC Staff plans to extend it by introducing another batch of cocky cooks who were out to duke it out with Yukihira, the only things that were different here was seeing Erina resigning her seat from the elit 10 and so as the streker elite 10 Isshiki Satoshi. also the setting has change, no longer in campus. As for the ART category of this anime, well, just like it's sequel, we still see then judges or anybody who tasted any food being show in a metaphoring naked glory, but sometime them tasters would be in some obnoxi…

First of all I am kinda tired of hearing the same stuff about SNS's latest season from different people on different media platforms. I mean let's be honest 80% of the stuff they say it's copy paste from each other or some elitist view about the show....we all know what they say so I won't talk about that instead I will say what has this show accomplished so far especially in this Second Cour. So let's tell the truth cu's that's what a review is supposed to do right?
Well Erina has characterization across those 24 episodes , she is not anymore the girl who always bumps each day head to head with Souma becoming annoying at some point.She is a character part of this enjoyable and great nowadays show but not any kind of character one who has a weakness which makes her more human like more re…

Shounen genre is great. Shounen genre with food and fan service is even better. But if it can't execute it well then boy does it suck hard. As a huge fan of SnS, fans of this manga will be so let down this season with their lackluster display of commitment from JC Staff. In short, Shokugeki no…

This has definitely been the weakest season so far imo. Felt extremely rushed and the worst part has to be how they've just cut out practically all the actual COOKING in a cooking shounen show. Heck that's like half of the reason I enjoy the series so much.
Also still scratching my head about how they were making the team shokugeki out to be a match where teamwork plays a big role (wasn't that the point of the Saiba vs Dojima practice match) only for there to be absolutely ZERO teamwork in the actual team shokugeki.
Another downside of this season has definitely been the pacing. Felt way too rushed imo. I know that this arc is apparently dragged on too slowly in the manga, but the anime's solution of just blasting through the content is not any better. The biggest victim of this would ha…

All aboard the foodgasm train!
Shokugeki no Souma: San no Sara - Toutsuki Ressha-hen continues on from the Third Plate to the Totsuki Ressha-hen where things goes straight up a Hokkaido Tournament arc.
LA does have some small gripes with this arc so LA might just start with that.
The first should be.......the animation, ohh no, no so much as the overall designs and the beautifully made foods or anything, but to it's animation direction, which Shokugeki no Souma: San no Sara - Toutsuki Ressha-hen's excessive use of panning, LA didn't notice but it shows in excess in this arc and ohh boy was it annoying at times, most probably because Yoshitomo Yonetani, the director of this season wanted to make it like your reading the manga considering the amount of panning but man does it grated on LA…

Part two for the third season of Shokugeki no Souma continues to gush out the lustre of stomach-filling nourishment to fill our appetites up. This time, The Third Plate: Totsuki Train Arc is a sugary sensation dripping with all the sweetness enough to entice many sweet-toothed hungers out there. But perhaps, this is a diabetic obsession. After all, a little too much sprinkle calls for a sickly toothache, and we probably don't want that right?
Looking back to the first season, a slope that shows a burning rise in temperature and conflict had been drawn. A show turned from lighthearted to highly competitive, even more so after the Elite Ten entered the fray. And here we are, with what is currently the biggest obstacle these students,…

Continuing from what the story of the proud, funny and excellent chef Yukihira Souma and his gang from Food Wars: The Third Plate, the anime is back from its over the top food-gasm. Although this second course of the Third Plate seems quite good, we still have to consider that J.C Staff clearly disappoints us yet again by putting the waiting card to our eyes.
The story starts of with Central's preparation along with Polar Star Members preparing for defense. We get to see from the first episode the development of Nakiri Erina, who rebels against her father's doing towards Central's success. We were given episodes where the rebels have to push through the limits. Learning everything and then comes down the fight.
Typical Food Wars anime word is "Shokugeki" and we are given a few only this…

*Minimum Spoiler Foodgasmic Review*
If you did not watch S1 or S2 or S3 then go watch them ASAP before reading this!
TL;DR: This season has more exploding clothes and foodgasms by packing some hype, some humour, some fan service, all while having the shittiest animation in all 4 seasons for the longest 24 minutes of your life. What more do you want? Grab a bowl, pull down your pants and start watching!

Four seasons of foodgasm. At some point, I’d think Shokugeki no Souma (Food Wars) needed a break from its run. Let’s face it…the anime at this point has lost some steam since the previous seasons. What started as an experience of food ecstasy is now more about who is the best. If you want to beat the best, you have to be the best. That’s pretty much a general idea of this season as the Polar Star residents face off against the Elite 10, a group of students who are considered the best of culinary arts at Totsuki Culinary Academy.
This season didn’t take long to get straight to the point. We already know that Erina has defected from her Father’s clutches and allied herself with Souma. However, Erina is now in a conflict on whether she truly wants to cook. The season explores her character a…
