What happens when anime cooking gets so overpowered that people start having full-body spiritual awakenings from a single bite? Food Wars! is pure chaos — Soma is throwing down in the kitchen like it's a shonen arena, Erina is judging everyone from her gourmet throne, and the rest of the cast is reacting to food like they’ve unlocked the secrets of the universe. Every dish is a finisher move, every cook-off is life or death, and somehow we all walk away hungrier.

It’s culinary carnage, sexy soufflés, and “how did we get here?” energy from start to finish — and we love every unhinged second of it.

The salt and pepper senpai, Brendan White is joined in the Sugoi Studio by the part time ruckman and full time legend, Jesse Munro, to share their thoughts on one of the greatest anime of all time (if you ask Brendan), Yuto Tsukada, Shun Saeki and J.C.Staff's gourmet comedy delight, Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma.

At Sakura Society, we help you figure out if this delicious fever dream is worth your time — or if you’re about to start yelling “YES CHEF!” at your microwave meals.
