I don't write reviews a lot because I usually don't care but I usually write reviews if I really like something or really hate something, this is unfortunately the latter.
I absolutely love Food Wars, It's in my top 3 and I've re-watched it multiple times, but this season is an embarrassment and a gigantic disappointment.
There is absolutely no character development for every single new character that was introduced and everything in this season so far has been incredibly rushed. The art, the sounds, the animation, the plot, absolutely everything is rushed and it feels like some mediocre trash.
The series always felt repetitive and I was fine with that because there was still a plot behind it but now they have just relied on the repetition alone for this season and it's absolutely failed.
They reused a bunch of scenes from previous seasons throughout this season and it just shows how much they don't care about the series anymore. This is truly an awful season and one that I absolutely can not recommend to anyone.
At the time of this review the series is rated at 7.37 (Which will definitely be going down over time). I don't believe this score is an accurate representation of the quality of the season. I believe this score is so high only because it's Food Wars. If the series didn't have it's audience and fans backing up the show, this would have scored a 5 or 6 because this season is an absolute fail.
I can not express how sad and disappointed I am for this series. It just keeps getting worse after the 3rd season.
**SPOILERS BELOW**
The new character Asahi is an absolute JOKE. Up until now the series was relatively realistic and believable but this new character just touches kitchen tools and he somehow masters years of cooking skill and expertise from just holding it in his hand? And supposedly he maximizes the expertise by x2...by just touching the tool..
Another chef that was introduced uses a chainsaw to cook and another used a guillotine and claws??
I don't know who the director is or who is in charge of this season but they did an absolutely awful job at this new season and I'm honestly considering dropping this series all together because it's so bad.
