Anime Screening: Food Wars (with an Alright Mate? discussion)

Fri 23 November 2018 18:15-21:00

Wallace Lecture Theatre, Main Building
  • Alright Mate

Welcome to Hell's Kitchen (anime version). This week we will be screening Food Wars, a show that will guarantee you will never look at your meals in the same way again (or so I'm told, I've never actually watched it). I guess we'll all find out this coming Friday. This event will also be done in collaboration with the Men's Mental Health campaign, Alright Mate? Hope to see you there.

Also there'll be no dub option this time since apparently the dub for Food Wars isn't very good.

Synopsis:
Ever since he was a child, fifteen-year-old Souma Yukihira has helped his father by working as the sous chef in the restaurant his father runs and owns. Throughout the years, Souma developed a passion for entertaining his customers with his creative, skilled, and daring culinary creations. His dream is to someday own his family's restaurant as its head chef.

Yet when his father suddenly decides to close the restaurant to test his cooking abilities in restaurants around the world, he sends Souma to Tootsuki Culinary Academy, an elite cooking school where only 10 percent of the students graduate. The institution is famous for its "Shokugeki" or "food wars," where students face off in intense, high-stakes cooking showdowns.

As Souma and his new schoolmates struggle to survive the extreme lifestyle of Tootsuki, more and greater challenges await him, putting his years of learning under his father to the test.
