Shokugeki no Souma/Food Wars is an extremely fun anime that pseudo-intellectuals love to hate due to it being a fairly simple anime that happens to be very highly rated.
Story: 7
As I mentioned above, it's a very simple anime with a very simple and straightforward underdog story that everyone has seen before.
Being simple however doesn't mean it's bad, where it lacks in originality it shines in execution and pacing, I'd really like to emphasize that the pacing in this show is, for the most part, nearly perfect.
I'd also like to point out that although this is supposedly "ecchi" it doesn't really have all that much
...
fanservice and when fanservice does show up, it's more for humor than anything else.
Art: 8
Character designs aren't anything to write home about and neither is the animation but they're fine, they do their job well enough however the food in the show looks amazing as it should considering it's an anime about food.
Sound: 6
Nothing much to say here, completely unimpressive.
Characters: 8
Fairly standard shounen characters, a lot of the things I said about the story can also apply to the characters, we've all seen characters like these before but regardless they're still very well executed with some really nice voice acting which makes them really fun to watch.
Enjoyment: 10
I had a great time with this anime, it was extremely fun and hilarious, I binge watched the whole thing in a day or so and never felt bored or anything.
Overall: 8
