Yeah at least her hair style in the family photo for the first chapter was explained compared to how she looked in the flashbacks. the family moment was cute and I thought that was probably the best moment out of all recent content in the manga. and yeah the thought of incest aside, that was hilarious on how many threw up in their mouths a little. But hey I think Sorina is all but secure now :smile: Erina kind of looks like Tamako too now that she has short hair :wink: but now that you mention Hisako, yeah I can see the resemblance

Final chapter up at Viz. While it was a good chapter to get a good epilogue for all the other charactors but felt like a cop out where Souma was involved. We never even get to find out if Souma ever got Erina to say his dish was better...heck we don't even know if he ever beat her in a challenge. I understand his reasons changed but considering this was one of the first things Souma prmoised he'd do, it would have been nice to know.

 

It would also be nice to know about the personal lives of the gang, sure they are all successful, but are they married, got kids, I'd have thought at the very least we'd get to know Alice and Ryo's fate, but even that was kept professional. There was heaavy hinting going on between Souma and Eria's relationship, but it still sounded like they were still not at the stage of admitting anything.

yup agreed.  A decent ending but not very satisfying

The ending was like the manga in many ways, half baked, started off well, is undercooked in the center and somehow rushed and overcooked at the top, and after all said and done, forgettable.

No Sorina either, and that is all that I tolerated through all of the bad writing to see. But at least the feelings are heavily hinted at, so that is some consolation for me, but I wanted to see them as a couple at least, or at best married with a a kid or more, and Soma takes the kid(s) on his travels and help him run the diner while Erina handles Totsuki affairs or something like that

Same here, I thought for a moment when Gramps told Erina to Tell the boys he'd be back in a week, it was a clue that they were married and had a son, but sounds like that may have been a translation error.

 

Edit: Also what's with the gramps still being alive, six yeasr not a hint that he was still alive, no phone calls, no flashback, no dishes inspired by him. nothing at all.

Not to mention, if he was alive WHY NEED to keep the diner closed indefinitely? Like I get that hes retired and probably cant handle the
E whole diner by himself but the story acted like it was just the father and son running it and there was no helping hand at all but now the grandfather can open the store and clean every now and then? When hes OLDER than he was at the start of the story? oh and small irrelevant detail but Erina called the grandfather "grandfather" and even though it is just a formality in Japan, still you would think that it means something since he calls her by first name and probably used -chan too. :ermm:

Turns out apparently the cooking adviser had to leave due to a death in the family at some point in the manga's run which really damaged what the writer wanted to do with the story.

Honestly, I entered very late into the series as it now shows on Toonami and drawn towards it because I'm a foodie. I really like how the animators draw the food but the "reactions" on tasting the food are really over the top!

theyre meant to be actually. thats the fun of the series honestly. as you keep watching you see the food reaching people on emotional levels like how the smell of apple pie brings you back to your moms kitchen. its becomes real important later on

So ep 13 season 5 aired looks like a collage of the end of the manga

 

good stuff ended with an instrumental of the opening theme from Season 1

 

and Erina and Soma mostly confirmed though no direct hug or kiss or anything

So eveyone hoping for an alternate ending had their hearts and hopes obliterated!!! :laughcry: Oh but they are just using the current look for everyone instead of the time skip one for 10 years later during the epilogue. Cool I guess.

Honestly, I did drop Food Wars near the end because I feel it was losing some of its flavor (heh, food puns) even if it also incorporated a lot of story.

Not sure what alternate ending people were hoping for. they pretty much got everything id think most people asked for.  Main pairing confirmed in everything but a kiss.  Happy endings all around , friends and family together. 

 

Cant say im even remotely disappointed in the ending

 

the anime merely condensed the timeskip to a 6 month one. a possible OVA could always come later showing where everyone ended up

In all honesty I preferred that they kept the current art style of the characters the way that they ended the anime on lol. And at least Erina is outright stating she was in love with Soma rather than the vague amiguity of the manga ending :yes:
