Some years ago I really struggled to eat properly. In the same time, the first season of food wars was broadcasted
Despite the ecchi scene (I started manga with Ranma 1/2 anyway so it can't shock me that much) I was really fascinated by not only the food but all the explanation behind it. It's how I've been introduced to the anime food genre
The perfect formula to make the typical anime I like is really just a slice of life with food and comedy. The kind of peaceful anime that I have never enough of.
