Episode 1: An Endless Wasteland

Welcome to possibly the only show in which the food is so good, your clothing will explode and you will experience some kind of orgasmic ecstasy.

1:00AM

Only Toonami

Watched a chunk of this a while back. Was very shounen sports-anime-like, but it being on Toonami and in one of the prime spots means I'll be watching anyway.

The character art is very good though, so there's that.

Erina's high and mightiness is gonna get a lot of reaction lol.  Looking forward to Ikumi.

Soma seemed like a huge Gary Stu.

Oh they picked up this show? Man I remember binging the first season of this when it first came out. I don't usually like shonen hybrids like this series but this one was very well done. It's full of fan service though (both female and male if I'm recalling correctly), so some people will likely be turned off by that others will love it.

it's got both, but leans far more towards the girls than the guys, and by Season 2 the guys are fully clothed during their mouthgasms

Oh yeah btw. .... one of the hot male supporting characters strips routinely. Please enjoy.

 

I'm aware

I used to headcanon him as gay until I realized that was stupid since knowing mainstream anime no matter how gay he seems they'll just give him a girlfriend

Fun fact.  Naruto was originally going to be a manga all about ramen, but Kishimoto's editor said that that probably wouldn't be enough to base a whole story around, so Kishimoto did the whole ninja thing (but Naruto still loves ramen.)  That could explain some issues with Naruto's writing as well...

So, will food be enough to base this whole story around?

And there's another thing.  No matter what is shown or how descriptive the show gets, we'll never be able to taste any of this food.  It reminds me of that comic about a band that Linkara reviewed and the characters talking about how great the music is.

...does the author leave recipes at the back  of chapters or volumes?
