The fifth and final season of Shokugeki no Souma was a little underwhelming throughout the whole anime and was really running out of ideas. The plot was interesting but the characters they came up with were lackluster and just not making sense. I usually give very detailed reviews for anime but there is not much that I want to discuss since it is the fifth season of the anime. I just want to point out certain things. The soundtrack was alright, I did not really like the OT but I enjoyed the piano piece of the old OT in the ending of the last episode.

The ending. The ending I think was really good, bringing everyone together and giving the fans what the want with the relationship between Soma and Erina and the happy ending for everyone. I really enjoyed that. Erina having her family together was amazing and Soma still wanting to keep learning to be the best. I wished that they expanded on the other characters like Megumi. However, I was very satisfied with the ending but the plot throughout was just boring to me.

The characters. The new characters were too extreme for me. A chainsaw, metal juggling balls that go so fast that it can generate heat? I know this anime is extra and suppose to be crazy, but those Noir characters were just too crazy that I didn't enjoy it. A whole guillotine? Like I enjoyed the diversity but it wasn't good. I really did enjoy Erina's character arc that now she is fighting for her mother and for her to please her. Saiba Asahi's character development was also good but I didn't care for him too much since he was a new character. Soma's character development was also non-existence in the sense that I was confused about what he was fighting for. Erina? His mother? The ability for him to run his restaurant? I don't know but I still really enjoyed the characters.

Overall, I really did like the series especially the previous seasons. I just think that this last season was not as great as the other seasons and that they could've ended it last season but I really did enjoy this extra plot with her mom and everyone coming back together.
