Actually, the true original is Cooking Master Boy which came out in 1995. It has shounen-battle-like cooking competitions that often include special gimmicks.

Yeah Chuuka Ichiban! (中華一番!) is the first to the formula and should be deemed the original to Food Wars aka 食戟のソーマ.

That show was awesome. The legendary cooking equipment that has special effects like sky beam and dragon flying out was cool as fuck.

Can't figure out if this is an intentional Fate reference or not.

I can't figure it out either. What reference? And which Fate?

Are you saying Shokugeki no Souma is mid?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Well it definitely ended on a whimper

It's basically a ripoff of Yakitate! Japan :p

It is quite repetitive tho

[–] 0Xero0 1 points 1 year ago

yes, but it's not that bad if you're into cooking

I agree, I wasn't interested enough to watch more than the first season.
