Shokugeki no Souma (Food Wars!) Season Three Review

Shokugeki no Souma Season Three

Of course, there’s no need to tell anyone that just wants to see this anime that you have to go through the previous seasons (Seasons 1 & 2). You can’t just jump into Season 3 and expect to understand or even derive maximum enjoyment from it; I doubt you will.

As a continuation of this exciting series that could just be termed as food porn, it’s only natural that one would expect more thrills, eye-openers, mouth-watering dishes, fantastic plot twists, and drama unfold. But is that truly what we got from the third season of Food Wars? Let me get on a mild description of how it went, and as you’d like, this review is entirely devoid of spoilers.

This season’s plot is a touch overdone, but the writers and producers kept it basic and easy to follow this time around, rather than complicating it like they had in previous seasons. The plot is pretty similar to that of a Shounen manga, and it may get highly predictable at points. Many attempts have been made to make this appear new and exciting by introducing storyline twists and turns, but the majority of the time, these are not at all unexpected.

The anime constantly shifts its focus away from its central theme, the "Elite 10′ competition, and substitutes it with a slew of insignificant details that aren't even required. The pace of this season's plot appears to be a little faster than it was in the first and second seasons, which is a positive thing. However, the program should quit dragging its feet to increase the number of episodes produced every season.

As for the animation element of this season, it demonstrates a significant improvement over the previous season. However, for some strange reason, the use of computer-generated imagery (CGI) has been omitted, resulting in an animation that appears somewhat flat. Nonetheless, J.C Staff Studios has done an excellent job with the enhancements in this edition.

Much focus is placed on fanservice, which is actually one of the anime's greatest assets. You will see almost every character on the show nude at some time, and this is just because they are all over the place with excitement about their cuisine.

The program’s fundamental goal is to draw attention to how delicious the cuisine is, and there is probably no better way to do this than through the usage of fanservice, which this anime have adopted.

The humorous antics throughout the series are pretty good, but the heartfelt stories had me going back for more. Through the series, Soma's rivalries, yet the amusing relationship with both his father and his friends, provided the perfect balance of tension and compassion for the audience. When he or his friends or they put themselves in danger to encourage one another, it creates exactly the right amount of suspense to enhance the artwork and visuals of the cooking scenes, which are hyperbolically over-the-top theatrical in nature.

Additionally, the audio quality is relatively good, with the new opening and closing tunes of this season proving to be significantly more memorable than the previous season's tracks. The music has been combined well with the vocals of the characters, and it has been done in a way that does not interfere with any of the talks. On this subject, there are no further notable advancements to report. The anime had already been performing well in terms of music; thus, it is a good thing that they could keep the bulk of it steady.

However, the remainder of the series is INCREDIBLY excellent. Dramatic moments over the top, accompanied by an over-the-top musical composition, and people who evolve and grow...

Everything is fantastic. Some of the more ludicrous moments are still amusing, and the food porn is the stuff of gastronomic wet dreams, to say the least. This is not a game for children or prudes. In this series, however, if you enjoyed Paul Verhoven's take on Starship Troopers, I believe there is a similar use of hyperbole for a hilarious effect that you will enjoy.

When it comes to the anime's characters, a great deal of time and attention has been spent on the growth of the key characters from the very beginning of the first season. Efforts are being made to introduce new characters, but the vast majority of them just leave the tale without any development, which may be disheartening in certain instances.

One positive aspect of this season is that a significant amount of effort has been made into the growth of Azami and his daughter Erina, who was virtually wholly forgotten as a character in the previous season. In the upcoming seasons, Erina will undoubtedly have a more significant relationship with Soma than she has ever had before, and Azami will emerge to be an excellent villain, given his present perfect character development.

Generally speaking, this particular season of the Food Wars Anime would get ranked a seven over 10. Although it does have some excellent components of fun and comedy, certain sections of it might use some development.

For food enthusiasts, this anime series is still more or less like a vivid dream in which they will be surrounded by a kaleidoscope of different flavors and colors of food. Putting aside the problems, season 3 is pretty thrilling, and if nothing else, it will undoubtedly leave you feeling quite hungry after each episode.

And with that, we look forward to seeing Season 4!

Arigato guzai-mas!!!
