Hi fellow anime lovers and welcome.Please have a seat,grab a drink and let's dive deep into Food Wars..But before you go any further and you are here by mistake and didn't understand this is the 3rd installment,go away watch the previous ones and come back anytime.

And let's start with the obvious stuff,yes?Food Wars is literally food porn.But then we all knew that after watching the previous seasons.Sure there is a heavy lean towards the food making(well duh it's an anime that has to do with food),but there is also the side where we get to see the impact the food has to people..Which is as realistic as realistic is the chance of you being tentacle raped by an alien tentacle creature in the next 24 hours.

By that i mean that when someone consumes said divine food goes into overdrive and rips their clothes,without even touching them.And while on overdrive the laws of physics no longer apply...Especially when we're talking about them boobies which seem to have will of their own..God even boobs have character in this anime..This is some serious stuff you know.

Jokes aside though this anime is brilliant.Sure you can be a puritanical SOB and be "oh i don't like it being somewhat hentai" or shit like that..But 1)no one cares what your prehistoric brain thinks and 2)go back to the 50's where you belong.

Sure it is a tad weird but even a toddler can understand that this is a way to show in a streched manner how food can fuck your sense of pleasure.

With that outta the way onto the story itself.This time round the plot thickens..And no i don't mean "plot",i mean plot period.Here we see in some detail the workings of this academy and how family-bussiness politics can turn a working system where everyone has a winning chance into a system where it serves only the chosen few,the pure blooded.Remind you of anything?

Honestly i liked every season up till now,but this is more mature,has more depth.It's a step further in evolution.

The characters are the ones we all know and love,otherwise we wouldn't be here,would we?Without any spoilers,if possible,the characters are put in such situations where growing up and taking a step forward is unavoidable.In some instances let's say they're forced to take a good look at themselves,their past,their fears and move on.

Just before i move on though...This supposed relationship they're building between Nakiri and Yukihira...Let's say they end up together,can you imagine the moment she turns and tells him that she wanted to jump his father all along?

Animationwise nothing to report.It's what we came to expect from this franchise,nice and smooth.There are one or two moments where CGI is used but it's not very distracting cause it's used minimally.

As for the VA's they certainly deliver their parts and aren't in any way/shape/form out of place.Opening and closing songs are indeed likeable,not my cup of tea but listenable.

All in all this feels,and indeed is,a natural continuation of everything this franchise had to offer.It shows spectacularly how things in life aren't all laughs and hugs and all that crap.It's also about the dark times,the difficult times,the times where shit starts to get real and how you must rise up to the occassion if you don't want to be buried in a world of shit.

That said i'm not the be all,end all so watch it and form your own opinion.
