Its actually jarring to compare the art in this season to that of the first season, the difference in animation, the gorgeous backgrounds and mental imagery, and the overall change for the worse in even the foodgasms. The art style is very basic, in fact it might be the peak JC staff Power Point, even the opening consists of cut out characters, colored manga panels, and recycled movement.

The author who used to at least try to get his series grounded in reality threw out everything and completely destroyed any suspension of disbelief. Elite chefs who work for Mafia and such, don’t cook with chainsaws, they cook the way a regular chef would using regular kitchen tools. I don’t care about them, I cant even try to understand their motivations, and the entire concept of criminal cooks seems like poorly written fanfiction. Noir as the antagonists pretty much made the entire season unbearable, the moment the black KKK robe wearing gang showed up I genuinely lost any ability to continue taking this show seriously, it was simply too comical, I don’t know how the mangaka actually thought that look was supposed to be cool or intimidating. The competitions being legitimate measures of a student being able to run a restaurant? It’s all about game show theater now with chefs bringing in actual chainsaws, motorcycles and goddam explosives into the kitchen. Soma and his dad’s rivalry being built up? Doesn’t matter since Soma’s father loses off screen to some edge lord teenage version of Nakiri’s dad, who happens to have the cooking equivalent of Sharingan. This is the first time I have ever given a 1 to a story, this season of food wars throws out literally everything the series built up and cherished. However, even with knowledge of the manga havingĪ questionable turn in the story, it was hard to see this absolute disaster coming The fans were 100% right, this season blows and there isn’t a better or easier way to describe it, Shokugeki no Soma was never a series known for being particularly good, its essentially food porn the anime, with exaggerated over the top reactions and some great comedy. Shokugeki no Soma Gou no Sara gets 7 foodgasms out of 10 from me.Īfter 4 relatively strong seasons Shokugeki is back with its final arc, many fans expected the previous season to be a good place to finish the series, between the manga ending and the overall satisfactory place the anime ended it seemed to be a great place to end the show.
Despite all the flaws, I still love the series and enjoyed this a lot even with its issues. The anime original ending wasn't bad to me, but it wasn't great like how I felt at the end of Totsuki Train either.
You either die the hero or live long enough to see yourself become Food Wars Season 5. But, it is it the sad reality of ongoing shows. It's gradual, it's painful and it's pretty sad because of how well done season 1-3 were. Overall, you can definitely see a dip in quality from SnS season 1 to season 5. I was able to overlook this because I'm easy to please, you may not be. It felt like they instead transitioned to relying on the girls getting naked as our sole source of entertainment during shokugeki's. It felt like the Shokgeki's were on 2.5x speed and the detail and educational bits that we're accustomed to seeing were just not there anymore. I also could feel that pacing was very rushed especially in the final half of the season. The panning camera shots, off model characters and other quality control issues are not a huge deal to me, because I personally watch things for the story and how they make me feel rather than as an art critic, but they do exist and are noticeable. Production wise, you can definitely tell JC staff started to rely on the established name of SnS instead of actually putting a lot of effort into the show. I understand that this is an unpopular opinion and that's fine, you can judge for yourself, but if you're a fan of SnS, you should definitely give this last season a try. Was enough to really enjoy the final season. Of particular importance for me was the growth that Megumi, Erina and Aldini have had.

We saw everyone come full circle this season and show off their development. I thoroughly enjoyed every single moment of this final season and saw it as a victory lap of sorts for the series. I waited week after week for it to get awful and it just never came for me. So 13 weeks in and now at the end of Gou no Sara, I never got to a point where I felt this season was as bad as people had hyped it up to be.
