Hello I am legendary so let me cook



Alright I will be talking abt Food wars today.

Firstly I know what u r thinking. “Bro its a cooking anime with clothes exploding why would I watch ts”. This is the reason you should watch it. But dont skip it just cuz of that, u will be missing out fr.

I started it like 4 y ago just to witness absolute peak. Thts why ppl say dont judge a book by its cover (the book here being a plate of food that makes a girl moan).

The story

So basically Soma Yukihira is a guy who cooks in his dads small diner, then his dad randomly sends him to Totsuki, the most insane cooking school ever where like 90% of students get kicked out.

And the main thing is the Shokugeki, which is basically cooking duels where u bet stuff like ur knives or even ur place in the school. Sounds stupid but the stakes actually feel real.

So its kinda like a shonen but with spatulas instead of swords. Soma is a typical shonen mc but he’s funny so I liked him wtvr.



And the way they explain the food stuff is actually cool, I learned some real cooking things from it js by watching (and got hungry like every episode, thts the real damage).

Its characters.

Characters are mostly very over the top but they all have their own thing. Erina was kinda annoying at first but her arc was good. Megumi was my fav cuz she’s just a normal girl who keeps trying (megumer ahh moment, I mean the other megumer). Kurokiba was also a peak rival.

Only thing is some side characters felt like they were js there to fill space, but still fun in personality so 7.5/10 on character part.

Sound part

Soundtrack gets u hyped for every cook off ngl. The openings were mostly good, I didn’t like some of the later ones that muh but it is what it is. OST excelled in the sound part.

Conclusion on its basis.

Okay so it has flaws, like the fanservice is VERY much there so dont watch this near ur parents or in public lol. And the later seasons felt rushed sometimes. But that doesn’t make u ignore this. When it was good it was really good.

If you genuine are skipping ts cuz of the fanservice I dunno what to say to you because is fanservice peak.

Now some other info based on it:

Number of episodes :- 5 seasons, 80+ episodes (check ur platform for OVAs)

Studio :- J.C.Staff

Genre :- Cooking, Comedy, Shonen, Ecchi

MAL rating :- around 8.1 (S1), later seasons a lil lower

My rating :- 8/10

Some stuff which make it worth watching ig (im bad on this part)

(1) Its cooking battles are actually hype, like fr.

(2) Rivals who become friends, classic but it works.

(3) Gets u hungry, can’t say it’s a bad thing lol.

(4) Had good amount of comedy in it.

(5) Not that unique plot but the cooking+battle mix is kinda borderline unique.

(6) Ur gonna want to try making the food after.
