It's a lovely slice of like anime that combines some relaxing cultural and cooking information with some wholesome elaboration on certain aspects from the main series, such as side character relationships and sisterly bonds.
I do not recommend first timers to the Fate series to watch this before consuming anything related to Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel because this animanga spoils significant plot points (speaking of which, do not watch the DEEN anime or Fate/Zero prior to the HF movies. Or just read the goddamn visual novel, it's officially translated on Steam). Moreover, this anime makes a lot of references to Fate/hollow ataraxia, the visual novel sequel to F/SN. Viewers who have played both visual novels would get the most out of Emiya Gohan.
My only complaint would be the pacing.…

This anime is Ufotable's biggest middle finger to anyone who says Ufotable can't make slice of life shows.
Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan consists of 13 short episodes of regular slice of life cooking things, but something about it feels magical. Characters of the Fate series have always been some of the best, being both complex and charismatic, and it's just nice to see them enjoying themselves and not having to suffer like in the mainline Fate series. Not gonna lie seeing Kiritsugu, Berserker and Illya, Lancer, etc. (Actually just everyone) be happy heals me man.
The visuals and animations of the show was overall really good, like the food are incredibly detailed and the facial expressions and movement of the characters was great as well.
Definitely watch this show if you have watched…

Imagine your local eatery is sporting the “Best Burger in the World”. When you check it out for yourself you are presented with a monstrosity. A veritable tower to the heavens is seated on your plate. Bacon, lettuce, jalapenos, onions, mushrooms, ketchup, mustard, barbecue sauce, and countless other adornments cover the stacks and stacks of grilled beef with cheese stuffed inside each patty. At first glance it’s miraculous but after taking measures you quickly realize there is no way to start eating it that will not cause the whole thing to come tumbling down on you. Even if you could find the optimal eating-path there is no way you could possibly finish once you started.
Meanwhile on the neighboring table you see it. The lightly toasted sesame seed bun. The single piece of green crispy…

Lancer doesn't die in this series! This anime is honestly adorable. The servants that are usually at each other's throats, are in this the best friends you could imagine. The art style is adorable, and the interactions between them are cute and funny+it has food! This is in my opinion the best the Fate series has to offer, that is of course very subjective, and it's certainly not as action filled or story driven as the others. It's very different, but it's a good different. Even better than Carnival Phantasm. Would definitely recommend, if a more slice of life-y series is something for you.

I'm the bone of my knife.
Steel is my body and fire is my stove.
I have created over a thousand foods.
Unknown to Saber.
Nor known to Rin.
Have withstood tiger to create many dinner.
Yet, those stomach will never be full.
So as I pray, Unlimited Refill Please.
Today’s Menu for the Emiya Family is story that surrounds food, having the characters you love from Fate/Stay Night in a friendly and cute mode, allowing audiences to see them in another aspect. You will get to see Saber’s sweetest and cutest side, ever. Overall, I really enjoyed Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan. It was a fun watch, giving me a new perspective to the Fate series. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the Fate series. It's a cute and heartwarming anime, letting the viewers enjoy the cast of the Fate ser…

Imagine a universe where mages summon heroes from the past to fight with them in a war for the holy grail, a war where only one mage is expected to survive. Now imagine, after all the preparations and the heroic spirits have been summoned, the war is postponed/cancelled. This anime is a story of life where the masters and their servants never fought one another.
What really adds to the feeling of such a story is the wonderful water color art style used for the animations, which create a picture that is easy on the eyes and relaxing to see. The ending music gives me major Studio Ghibli vibes and has an even more relaxing look.
In my personal opinion, I think the best part of this show is seeing the side of the servants you'd never get to see in one of the true story lines where they're all…

An enjoyable, easy watch. (Possible Spoilers)
This anime is set post Fate Stay Night adaptions, But yet must be another alternative route ending to add to list of many. That has not featured in any current adaptions anime, games etc. As most of the spiritual hero’s and the master are living there lives post 5th Holy Grail war like the events were played out to an happy ending.
Emiya-SAN Chi No Kyou no Gohan is so far away from the usual dark fantasy Fate world that we normally see these characters in. The story plots are very basic.
As a Fan of anime’s of more dark fantasy genre or that more fasted paced with intense fight screens and those that just keep you on the edge. This not an anime I would normally consider. But did feel nice having a break from the above.
This maybe this is wh…

“Refill please!” - Saber
🥇 9/10
Take a break from the Holy Grail War and let’s relax in such a heartwarming cooking show, Today’s Menu for the Emiya Family. This show is bringing characters you love from Fate/Stay Night, then portray them in a totally new aspect. If watching Fate/Stay Night is like having a main dish, then this show would be a dessert.
🎬 Story - 7/10
Today’s Menu for the Emiya Family is a show about cooking. While the story itself contains nothing extraordinary, it is rather focused on characters and filled with many heartwarming moments.
🎨 Animation - 8/10
Today’s Menu for the Emiya Family came with an above-standard animation quality, having a watercolor art style, unlike the usual ufotable Fate’s one. The art style gives off a very relaxing vibe, building up the o…

The Fate series has gotten a bit... unwieldy over the years. It starts off fairly comprehensibly: a hit visual novel from 2004, a sequel, a prequel, and several anime adaptations. Fair enough. But as you move through the series’ fifteen-year history, things begin to get increasingly strange. A magical girl spinoff? A dungeon crawler RPG? A cash-cow-turn-based-strategy-visual-novel-hybrid-gacha mobile game? At times, it can seem as though TYPE-MOON and company are less interested in meaningfully progressing the series and more interested in pushing the boundaries of the time-money continuum. And then you come to perhaps the most seemingly egregious, the most apparently bizarre entry in the Fate series yet: the cooking spinoff. When I first heard that ufotable was animating Emiya-san Chi no…

Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan is a pretty creative spin-off for the Fate/stay night saga and it truly is the opposite of what the saga would usually offer. It is comparatively shorter, milder, with lots of food and sadly, not much weight.
First of all, it is refreshing to see Emiya-san, Saber, and the entire gang in the setting of which everything is peaceful and everyone could tie up a perfect, humdrum day with homemade, heartwarming dishes-- which is exactly the point of this particular spinoff. Instead of presenting new plots or providing different perspectives towards Fate/stay night saga, Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan simply wishes to create this psychedelic atmosphere under which peaceful days are here to stay and ultimately, the key ingredient for maintaining peace is the dishes…

Today's Menu for the Emiya Family or as I like to call it Shokugeki no Shirou is a spin-off we don't ask for and clearly don't deserve. But it happened anyway and I'm really thankful for this.
There's no doubt what the Fate franchise has achieved. The highest status of Action Fantasy for its beautiful fights and heartbreaking moments. Yet they are so dark, at times I couldn't bear watching it and wondering to myself if they would ever have a happy life after all of this. Thankfully, someone heard my wish and made this beautiful spin-off.
In a world where they don't have to fight over the Holy Grail, our beloved masters and servants now enjoyed the life in a sunny city of Fuyuki. Everyday, Shirou would venture to the marketplace to find ingredients for his meal to satisfy Saber's appetite…

When I finished watching Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan, I had only watch the first season of Fate/Zero, both seasons of Fate/Stay Night UBW and the first movie of Heaven's Feels. As such, I went into this anime with an incomplete knowledge of the backstory of all characters. However, that did not prevent me from loving this anime.
The story follows the usual formula for cooking anime. Introduce a recipe, have people eat it, finish with a heart-warming epilogue. It is a really simple anime, and that is completely fine. By making this anime simple, it allows for the generation of cute and heart-warming scenes. The viewer gets to learn more about the characters, and see how cooking brings everybody together. Overall, although, the story of Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan follows the usual fo…

What kind of nutjob you have to be if you start the Fate series by not reading the eroge visual novel because you know you have to commit about 100 hours into it for the full story and it never really officially appeared in the west iether, plus it contains very lewd things in it or watching the 2006 anime series Fate/Stay Night by studio that contains very comedic fan-sub quotes like "People die when they are killed." and jump straith trough 'Today's Menu for the Emiya Family' or let's call it "Fate/Flavor"? In a way, it makes sense. You see, in the Fate/Stay Night VN had its moments where it went into great detail on meals prepared by Shiro and others during less dramatic moments that anime adaptations cut out so you atleast had that out of the way and since you have met the charathers f…

Ah, the Fate franchise. One of anime’s most respected, extensive, yet oddly superfluous multiverses. Admittedly, I’ve only seen Ufotable’s now iconic translation of the main storyline (Fate/Zero and Unlimited Blade Works) in what has become a sprawling universe of near-infinite possibility, so I have certainly no right to comment on the overall quality of any of the many, many, many spin-offs. But I can’t help but wonder; how necessary, really, is all of this? The main plot of an urban fantasy wizard death game with magical, anime-ized takes on classic figures of myth and history is a spectacular idea, and the story both of Shiro Emiya and his father as they try to maintain their morals in the midst of a chaotic, swirling mass of conflict and death is simultaneously both a better Chirsophe…

Remember that time when everyone summoned some historical hero figures and trying to kill each other in Fate series? Guess what? You don't need to remember all of those tragedies, betrayals, and deaths because Shirou Emiya now dedicated himself to cook special dishes for all of you! Weirdly enough, this anime released every first week in a month of 2018. So, it ended up with standard 13 episode seasonal anime count but span for the entire year of 2018. This is an adaptation of a manga that no one wanted and no one expected to come (mainly because we were expecting Heaven's Feel part adaptation) but ended being very fun and interesting twist for a franchise that already too dark to begin with. Produced by the same studio who brought any other good Fate franchise adaptation, ufotable, this i…

So the Fate series dipped their toes in food porn...
Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan is another installment in the Fate series but more of the slice of life side of things, looking at Emiya's daily life that revolves around him making breakfast, lunch and dinner to the majority of the cast. That's the basic gist of Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan.
Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan has plenty of fanservice for Fate fans but what with the main cast being limited to the Fate/stay night cast but nonetheless. Some of the other fanservice leads into once enemies of Emiya now getting tips from Emiya to make food from him to Lancer being a shop owner of all things.
Now the anime's focus is on Emiya making food but it's the least interesting part of it, as it kinda slows things down, sure we see Emiy…

Look how far we have gone. The 18+ Hentai Game has grown a lot and gradually forms a big franchise. But why should we watch the numerous Fate series where people die because they are killed? Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan is the true answer to the Fate series: everyone should stop fighting at each other for that dirty little cup; relax, sit down, and enjoy Shirou's meal today.
Story: 8/10
The story starts with Emiya Shirou cooking today's dinner, and Saber and others have the meal with a blessed smile on their faces. That's it. Despite having nearly zero plot movement at all, like most slice-of-life anime, if you consider the recipe given each episode as part of the story, then the story is definitely outstanding.
Art: 9/10
Warm and fresh. Maximum comfiness. No complaints.

Hey, weeb! Do you like Fate? Do you hate your own culture? Ever wish you could be Japanese instead? Well, if you wanna replace your heritage with dat sweet sweet Japanese culture, then you best start learning some shit. Luckily for you, Fate/Cooking is here to tutor you, and it’s brought some food along with it. This ain’t your ordinary Japanese class. Professors Emiya, Ramsey, and CBF are ‘bout to teach you some life skills, and class is in session!
The first thing you may notice is how lovely everyone looks with this new art style and these kickass wardrobes. The second thing you may notice is that the food looks scrumptious as all hell. The fine folks over at ufotable worked their asses off to prepare these good looks for you, and boy does it show when the food starts cookin’. I just…

Cast in a world of food wonders and desires, Emiya-san Chi Kyou no Gohan came together as a series that offers delicious entertainment. While I can’t say I’ve been a fan of recent Fate adaptations, there was no doubt that in this alternate world, it manages to awaken a certain food desire within me as well.
Welcome to the Emiya’s family and a feast of epic shenanigans.
Pleasing to the eyes is no less than the world of food. As humans, we can’t survive without it and in the world of Fate, Shirou and his friends brings in a new form of excitement with them. These 13 episodes captures the magic and essence of Shirou’s culinary skills along with other Fate characters. We all know Shirou right? The boy is the mage apprentice who made his on screen TV debut back in 2006. Prior to watching thi…

I am not the biggest fate/nasuverse/type-moon fan, but there is something that I absolutely adore: the characters. And I adore them to a point that I have actually seen Carnival Phantasm 4 times (so far). That scene where Berserker turns into a car and Illya says "Berser-car" is among the most adorable pieces of art created by man. I get a coronary every single time. Naturally, when I heard Fate would be getting another show that has nothing to do with the main plot line, I was beyond thrilled, and now that I…
