| Lol, did they just adapt Megumi 10th seat reveal arc in just 30 sec, which was the only remotely good mini-arc in upcoming dumpster fire? Poor noire chef didn't even get a proper voice actor even tho he was such a badass in manga. I can't imagine anything like a 'worse adaptation' of the next arc (since it's already plenty bad) but looks like J.C. will prove me wrong. |
 |
| Okay, another season is completed! From what I've read here & there in the forums, I'm not sure if I'm gonna watch the next season, especially with this final episode being a great conclusion for everyone (with exclusion of the last few seconds with that new character). Hmm, at the same time I'm curious how bad it'll turn out to be, but I don't like wasting my time with shizz, so... |
 |
| This show is really fucking ridiculous. But still I like it. Weaker than the previous seasons, but still I like it. 8 |
 |
| This series gets WORSE from here? Thought they did pretty well killing anything enjoyable about it in this season. |
| Ok, for me, this is the ending of this series, and there is no need to add anything else. Adding another villain at this point would be cheap so I will probably ignore the rest. Tadokoro's conclusion was probably the best and although the episode wasn't as stellar as the previous one, it ended on satisfying note. The parts of this season were so so but the final parts were really enjoyable so at least the series ended well as a whole. |

Will the anime skip this arc next season? manga readers r talking about the new villain and the (blue arc) 1- new villian too op and cooler than souma 2- love rival 3- character regression 4. yuki morosaki not involved in the blue arc (Morisaki is the brains of all the recipes used in the series. The series officially lists her as a"collaborator"). 5. removed almost 70% of cooking from the manga (meaning showing only the results) 6. evil mafia chefs and clowns cooking with some kind of a weapon like Chainsaw and dynamite more 7. foodgasm was no longer interesting 9. dealing with nakiri's family again. 10.superpower 11. rushed 12. plus the epilogue be like: wait...WHAT...thats it and more Thanks for the summary. I'm tired with those drama type anime aka point 2 and 3. Probs gonna skip |
| y the next arc (blue) was bad: the person who appeared in the end of this episode is one of the main reasons on why this arc is terrible f u want to read the manga u can start from (ch 264) u may like it or not SPOILERS with details |

| Really lovely ending I must say, pacing was perfect, the battles and reactions were obviously amazing and just a great and lovely ending! Quite an enjoyable anime's final season I must say with a lovely closure of this franchise I must say, if it is a closure to begin with with such an post ending that could mean anything to continue or stop right there to be honest. All in all a great watch! |

| This season was decent and still pretty enjoyable. The biggest negatives were the pacing of the battles, especially that last one. For all the hype that went into Souma and Erina vs Rindou and Tsukasa, I felt very underwhelmed by the actual battle and there was barely any time put into showing how all four chefs prepared their meals and why they made the choices they did. That was a problem for every fight in this season, but it stung most for the final one. The best part about this season was the character development, especially for Erina and Souma. The other chefs did get some development too, though I wish they had given more time to them because I can't really get attached to their characters or their backstories when they are quickly glossed over in only a few minutes. I especially wanted more details about Rindou and Tsukasa considering they were the two primary hurdles to defeat, and I felt like both of them and the rest of the Elite Ten had pretty weak motivations for joining Central. I think this arc could have been much better if there were less chefs involved, but I guess that is the price that is paid when you have so many side characters. Overall I'd say this series was the weakest season of Food Wars I've seen so far, but I definitely wouldn't say it was bad. Based on what I have heard about the next season, I am actually excited to watch it and see what happens. I doubt it's going to be as bad as everyone says, but either way I think this episode would've been the perfect place to end the series, and I don't really see why they feel the need to add another storyline in. |
 What's the difference? |
| Aww rindo and tsukasa so sweet, nene's fan club was the best Did not expect to fast forward megumi's hospitality arc Then here comes the next arc, the one that i dont want the most maybe i'll just skip eps to that season and just watch the ending maybe they'll change the ending The one that i hate the most in the next arc is |
"Everyone fails sometimes But dreams won't fade, dreams won't fade Let's chase them as many times as it takes and don't lose Because today after all is today and once you wake up, it'll be a new morning" ~Aqours~ |
| Everyone changed and... who's that new guy at the end? Probably a new student candidate? I see many criticizing that the next arc will be bad, but that doesn't make me stop trying to watch a new season. My curiosity is strong and will risk even so. The rest will be decided when it starts. |

10/10 best season in this series |
|
| Very unsurprisingly, this adaptation was a complete embarrassment for Shokugeki no Souma, Tsukada, and J.C. Staff. This was a complete disaster. The remainder of the Régiment de Cuisine this season covered was already bad, but J.C. Staff managed to make it WORSE. How J.C. managed to pull this off is beyond me, but it is quite remarkable. The animation is as bad as it used to be, but I'm even more critical of it this time because they had over a fucking year to make it NOT look terrible, and it still looks just as bad. At least the manga had Saeki's amazing art to cover for its terribleness. The story continues to get worse, and every character except for Souma and Erina are watered down versions of what they were in seasons one and two. This was a disgrace and blasphemy on an originally great franchise, and is only held up by the small amount of remaining love I have for the series. I can't wait for it to get even worse with the next arc. 6/10. |
| I felt this series was gonna end until someone (no clue) shows up. Looks like a strong opponent. Edit: I was hoping maybe a confession from Erina to Souma like in regard to romance. Though I know that wont happen but something like a surprise it be good. I feel it can be a Megumi x Souma shipping |

 Yahallo! Yatta! Baka! <!  "Humans, your existence was a mistake. Conflicts, lies, jealously, greed. You once caused me to lose everything and today I will devour everything... Because I am the Valkyrie Goddess"> |
| Pretty average season. The manga is, again, better (by far). And it was that since the start of the first season. But now we will arrive at the worst arc of the manga and I don't think I can handle this in anime. |
| They really should have ended the series here it's a perfect end point for the anime. You can tell it's running out of steam, I dread to think what S5 will be like |
| I liked most of this arc but this it for me and this series, it started out good then got great but then went on longer than it should of. The final arc is supposedly very bad but I wouldn't know because I just don't care enough anymore to find out. |
| Yay the rebel team won! It felt very conclusive, but since we know a fifth season is on the way, guess we'll find out who that guy at the end was! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Really really felt like the finale episode but a another season is announced so why not, it was a great ending and nice to see that everyone changed after the timeskip (I prefer Hisako with long hair :c) I can't wait to see the next season |
 |
 Hisako X Erina yuri? anyone? (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) ▂▃▄▅▆▇█▓▒░Love░▒▓█▇▆▅▄▃▂ 1st Seat - Yukihira Soma (Our guuuy <3) 2nd Seat - Isshiki Satoshi (loincloth) 3rd Seat - Terunori Kuga (Chinese) 4th Seat - Hayama Akira (Spices) 5th Seat - Kurokiba Ryo (Fish??? outrage ) 6th Seat - Nakiri Alice (molecular gastronomy) 7th Seat - Takumi Aldini (blonde Aldini brother) 8th Seat - Eizan Etsuya (megane delinquent guy?) 9th Seat - Kinokuni Nene (megane girl. Die. shine) 10th Seat - Tadokoro Megumi (braid cutie <3) Finally, a mysterious guy appears! Season 5 in April! |
| If a sequel hadn't been announced beforehand I would really think this would have been the last season. I mean, it really gives you the feeling of a closure. |
 |
| Outstanding season, I'll give 9/10 as the first half was all battles and a lot of good older characters were sidelined in jail like Nikumi, Hisako and Alice. Awesome screentime for Erina though. I liked her more in her busty chef outfit than the school outfit. Fantastic ecchi this season. I don't know who that prick is in the end, looks annoying though. Definitely felt like this season could have wrapped things up, aside from weddings and kids for everyone |
 |
| They rushed fast through Soma+Megumi mini arc... Now to the worst part of manga. EL HERMANO will make you hate this anime with passion. |
 |
Headd said: It got real fast at the end of the episode just so they could show that new character. Honestly ending it here is good enough, no need to go to the next season and ruin everything. Hopefully, Shokugeki no Soma will end in Season 4 only. It will suck big time if they continue further than that. Hence I considered season 4 as my ending of the story. |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
| I really don't know how this anime still gets good scores. As soon as this show got to the central arc, it has been going downhill and fast. Season 1 and 2 were very good, Season 3 I would say it was on the border of bad/okay, and finally watched season 4 to be utterly disappointed by it. If i had to sum it up in a few words, they would be over dramatic, over exaggerated, and ridiculous. Hopefully they end it with season 5. Put this thing out of its misery. |
| It was a nice ending, but this really was the worst this series has had yet. It's always the tournaments where this series loses something. Animation was lacking, the pacing was horrendous, even the foodgasms took a downgrade. I still had an alright time with some of it, but what a disappointment when before it had been such a blast. It just lacked a lot of that charm. Curious to see just how bad this final arc supposedly is. I've yet to see anyone who didn't hate it, so I really gotta wonder if they actually fucked up that badly. |
 |
| They finallly won the team shokugeki, but i felt like it could be better, i wanted to see 1 on 1 battle between Yukihira and Tsukasa, a fair battle between those two would be a better ending imo. Looks like Yukihira got a shortcut to the 1st seat. We'll be getting another season. also the new character that showed up in the end made me curious, another challenger for the greater good. Overall score 8/10 |

| I was never really into this series but damn, this hits hard. If it was a real final episode I would cry for sure. But apparently there is a trainwreck final arc. Let's wait and see. |
 |
| The level of madness and nonsense in this season and especially in this episode have no limits. They went end game far too quickly. Bad writing: *Souma being the first seat is just nothing but troublesome. Pathetic, undeserved and anticlimactic. It is worse when you see that he got it by plot armor. *Bad arc. It lasted far too long and ended with little to no payoff. *Plot armor. Souma is practically a Gary Stu at this point. While I didn't like Souma being too OP during s1 and s2, at least he could lose and there was some character development. There's been none of this since Azami was forcibly introduced into the plot. Wtf stuff: **For some reason, Eizan is still part of the Elite Ten and he's looking out for those he tried to sabotage. **The rest of the Elite Ten just disappeared without any convincing closure. **They never explained Rindou’s motivations. **Relegating the Elite Ten to villains instead of rivals was a bad idea and most of their motivations for joining Central were rushed, not explained or forced. **The Central Arc should have been introduced at the earliest in the second half of Soma's 2nd year cuz it's not reasonable for a 1st year defeating everyone. **Erina being the director during her 1st year.....WHAT? She is not an adult, what the hell is this? Being a director of a fucking school is not something a teenager can do. **Azami and Central's motivations were poorly presented and there is a lack of consequences after the timeskip. This season is so bad that I am very ashamed of what they did to Shokugeki no Souma. I didn't even have to mention the animation to know why SHIT s4 is. I was hesitating to give it a 2 thanks to that I could enjoy a bit from a few episodes but this is disrespectful. 1/10 for the anime. (And they say that s5 is worse that this but if s4 is already 1/10, I don't want to imagine what s5 will be) |

| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| So can Erina graduate from the school when she's director or? |
| Dont care what happens after this because to me this will always be the true ending. |
 |
| That is crazy :D but I am glad that this anime started to surprise me :) I do wonder how many seasons this can get and how it will end in the end. Maybe we will see some romances next season? Rly Erina a director? Is't it too much for her being so young and anime? :D Not only hairstyle, but art also seem to be changed in last episode. Erina face especially. I don't like Ryouko Sakaki new hair style she looks same as Hisako. Glad that Ridou is happy with Tsukasa :) I still don't like the op/ed of this season. Every other op/ed were great and I love to listen to them when I am doing things in kitchen, but this one doesn't have the power to motivate me... anyway 9/10 for the ending. Too bad they failed my fav Ramen :( it didn't look tasty at all. |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| Mixed feelings over this finale, to be honest. Soma scraping the "Provisional First Seat" - I can understand this. But Erina as Director? While I understand why, isn't it better for Uncle Sou to take over for a measly two years before giving her the position officially. Being a Director plus a Student is no easy feat, in fact it's more like disgracing the work of Directorial positions I suppose. I'm surprised there was no refute to this from other students. But, that aside, it was cool to see the revelation of the other Elite Members. Megumi, in particular, rocking outside Totsuki Academy was pretty cool. And some of the new mature looks of the characters look really great too. Rindou-senpai and Tsukasa-senpai moment together was really sweet too. By the way, is it really a good idea to let Nakiri Azami-san and a few prominent others get away so easily like this? Doesn't feel right at all... Been hearing about how things quickly deteriorate further next season but I'll try to be very open regardless. All in all, the season ended off a bang thanks to the last episode. I freakin' love this series though, don't get me wrong, but this was definitely the "worst" so far. Solid 7/10, nonetheless. Unpredictability and ridiculous-ness has been a forte for the series and it was certainly more modest here which did hamper the enjoyment a tad bit. Animation Quality lapses, or rather still pictures to be precise, were more obvious as well but it didn't bother too much. People claiming this department deserves below 5 are/were clearly overreacting, another job well done from J.C. Staff. And the Sound Department. I've seen this for every entry but it was a real succulent treat once again. Feels so Haikyuu-like in many ways and I bloody love that! It's going to be tough waiting for a month for Season 5 to restart broadcasting... Because I'm binge-ing the two episodes out right now! |

| Finally finished this series. this was a good series finale. although i still think Erina should be the First seat and Soma the second seat. and my baby girl Megumi should be higher imo. and i think if the upcoming arc was to reset, Soma gunning for the first seat and defeating Erina and a Love arc for Soma x Megumi, Erina, Hishoko?, Alice?, Ikumi, would have been better than..... ugh......the BS upcoming arcs |

I have to agree with this, i wasn't very impressed by this season but it was still okay to watch i guess. apparently the next season is terrible? but i like food so i'll go for it lmao. 6/10 for s4, the last four-ish episodes were strong but the rest was kinda sucky |

| I need more nudes eek, but It could have ended here. But I guess I'll see wtf they can go on about in the last season lolz. |
