Synopsis

With the threat of the Holy Grail War no longer looming over Fuyuki City, its inhabitants can finally enjoy a time of peace. Now that all of the Masters and Servants have adjusted to their new mundane lives, Shirou has taken it upon himself to cook for his household and show Saber the wonders of modern cuisine. Every day, he ventures into the marketplace to see what kind of different meals he can cook up with unique ingredients and a limited budget. However, his legendary skills often attract uninvited guests from all over the city, so there is never a dull moment at dinner with the Emiya family.

As his guests entertain themselves in the living room, Shirou walks through the step-by-step process of creating some of his favorite meals. With delicacies such as his savory New Year soba with shrimp tempura, steamy foil-baked salmon, and cheesy bamboo shoot gratin, everything is up for grabs on his menu. Itadakimasu!

I am the Apetite of my Diet
White Rice is my Body and Soy Sauce is my Blood.
I have eaten over a Thousand Dishes,
Unknown to Fast Food,
Nor known to Gourmet.
Have withstood Hunger to enter many Buffets
Yet those Hands will never Cook Anything
So, as I Pray--
Unlimited Seconds Please

I am not the biggest fate/nasuverse/type-moon fan, but there is something that I absolutely adore: the characters. And I adore them to a point that I have actually seen Carnival Phantasm 4 times (so far). That scene where Berserker turns into a car and Illya says "Berser-car" is among the most adorable pieces of art created by man. I get a coronary every single time. Naturally, when I heard Fate would be getting another show that has nothing to do with the main plot line, I was beyond thrilled, and now that I have seen it offer a scene where Illya wishes Berserker Merry Christmas after giving him a self-baked Christmas cookie that looks like him, I can only say that I will, most likely, never in my life giggle like this again. Perfection.

The first half of this show is a bit problematic. Let me describe it with a meme: "You either go all the way or you go home. I am not dealing with this." And I am not. This isn't proper fanservice, this is just fanservice undertones, and the real content (cooking, other food related thingies, sol nonsense and... just being there) isn't strong enough. But then the show starts going for better and pleases all my needs for cute, comfy and fluffy things. The series becomes incredibly funny and adorable after the 6th episode. The remaining episodes all are rather different from each others and they all have something unique to offer. For example, the beginning of episode 7 shows us a beach volleyball game that is... a bit overboard. Episode 09 contains one of the best background animation sequences where Saber is trying to refrain from eating her food. The way she shakes among the facial expression burned in my soul. The 12th is incredibly comforting, almost soothing to watch with its atmosphere and level of cute. It's almost hard to believe how enjoyable the show end up being after its weaker start.

The art and overall production is quite lacklustery. Especially the animation can be surprisingly mediocre, but it's not a big problem in a series of this sort. The music on the other hand can be real weird at times. Strange OST choices, the Op and Ed songs are quite awful to a point that they stand out. Some better decisions from the BGM department could have been done for certain.

I still easily prefer Carnival Phantasm over this series, but I highly recommend it for those who like the cast and warm, wholesome thingies. Seeing type-moon characters act like clowns truly offers something that no other cast seems to have because even when the series is this comedic the character traits remain and their behavior never quite feels out of character.

“Refill please!” - Saber

🥇 9/10
Take a break from the Holy Grail War and let’s relax in such a heartwarming cooking show, Today’s Menu for the Emiya Family. This show is bringing characters you love from Fate/Stay Night, then portray them in a totally new aspect. If watching Fate/Stay Night is like having a main dish, then this show would be a dessert.

🎬 Story - 7/10
Today’s Menu for the Emiya Family is a show about cooking. While the story itself contains nothing extraordinary, it is rather focused on characters and filled with many heartwarming moments.

Hey, weeb! Do you like Fate? Do you hate your own culture? Ever wish you could be Japanese instead? Well, if you wanna replace your heritage with dat sweet sweet Japanese culture, then you best start learning some shit. Luckily for you, Fate/Cooking is here to tutor you, and it’s brought some food along with it. This ain’t your ordinary Japanese class. Professors Emiya, Ramsey, and CBF are ‘bout to teach you some life skills, and class is in session!

The first thing you may notice is how lovely everyone looks with this new art style and these kickass wardrobes. The second thing you may read more

Cast in a world of food wonders and desires, Emiya-san Chi Kyou no Gohan came together as a series that offers delicious entertainment. While I can’t say I’ve been a fan of recent Fate adaptations, there was no doubt that in this alternate world, it manages to awaken a certain food desire within me as well.

Welcome to the Emiya’s family and a feast of epic shenanigans.

Pleasing to the eyes is no less than the world of food. As humans, we can’t survive without it and in the world of Fate, Shirou and his friends brings in a new form of excitement with them. These 13 episodes captures the magic and essence of Shirou’s culinary skills along with other Fate characters. We all know Shirou right? The boy is the mage apprentice who made his on screen TV debut back in 2006. Prior to watching this series, my expectations is aimed at a high caliber slice of life to please.

To my delight, this series delivers exactly just that. First, let’s talk about the animation quality. It has a watercolor style that makes the show feel very lighthearted, a contrast to some of the Fate TV series and movies. It’s necessary to bring in a more casual audience as there’s no serious storytelling going on here. Every episode focuses on Shirou and his ability to cook. On the menu list, we got tofu, shrimps, sandwiches, chirashizushi, gratin, fried rice, among others. A main selling point is the light comedy elements as characters takes on much more casual roles than their Fate counterparts. Ever want to see Saber go shopping? What’s it like to watch Lancer working at a fish market? How about seeing some of badass volleyball between the servants such as Saber and Shirou vs Archer and Lancer? Or a peaceful Berserker who isn’t bent on destruction? It’s there. To make things flow even better, we get characters such as Caster and Illya making their appearances who are much more human than you’d expect. Everyone comes together into this series like a family and it’s hard not to smile when watching them together.

And let’s not forget the character relationships. Saber and Shirou has been an iconic pair that any anime fan can identify from the Fate universe. Here, we don’t see them fight as a duo but rather enjoying their life as normal teens would. This also extends to other character pairs with bonds that you’d want to keep an eye on. For instance, Rin and Sakura share a sisterly love during one of their cooking sessions. Illya and Berserkers shares an unbreakable bond more as friends than master/servant in this series. The big picture to see here is how these character pairs have important relationships despite how simple the story is.

I’d never thought there would be a day where I would indulge into the world of Fate, came back, and call it an enjoyable experience. This anime offers more than just culinary foodgasm but instead a light slice of life show for its character cast. Fans of the Fate universe should watch this with a relaxed mind and anyone can embrace this show for what they throw at you. It’s 13 episodes and that’s all is really needed for a delicious enlightenment.
