This arc is actually kinda good but after that every thing feels bland and out of context, souma suddenly gets a love rival out of nowhere. That's when I dropped the fucking manga.

Looking at the spoilers, I feel like the author purposefully made the ending bad. It doesn't make sense how his writing would degrade so much otherwise.

A villain was introduced that was so effective that everyone hated him too much.

yuki morosaki was not involved in the (blue arc)
(Morisaki is the brain of all the recipes used in the series.
The series officially lists her as a "collaborator").
I might be mistaken but I heard that Morisaki was pregnant so She couldn t do her usual job Which resulted That mess Since She was not there to give resipces The Author just screwed all of it and Dropped the Food war part to the ground with not even using proper meals and recipes.

That's not the only reason tho.

The other half is they removed 80% of cooking from the manga series toward the end in an effort to rush the ending cause the series got cancelled cause the rating was so bad due to the first half of the reason...

Anime is going to have an awesome original ending. Souma and Mugumi are gonna hook up, Erin’s is going to realize she’s a bitch and get lost, and Souma and Megumi will take over Soumas dads restaurant.
Lolicons are scum.
BABYMETAL is more metal than Metallica.
Naruto is objectively the best anime ever.
HxH 99' is decent. HxH 11' is bad.

Because the entire plot is ridiculous and uber far fetched. They couldve put this arc in an 2 part OVA.

anime only opinion: i was already annoyed at this Central arc just because, as a restaurant owner, the idea of the bad guy being a dictator of a COOKING SCHOOL and his motive/end game for world domination is incredibly stupid but then i have to keep reminding myself that this is a shonen

i dont even wanna know how bad the next unnecessary arc is gonna be like after hearing horror stories about it and that one character everybody hates so much that they pray for anime original content

Cause no Character beside Souma and Erina matter. Every side character lost everything that couldve been called a character arc. This arc is bad but the last and next one will be a shit show, they get supa powas.


That doesn’t sound pleasing.

For me, shit hit the fan after the tournament arc. After that arc onwards, Shokugeki no Soma's legacy ended. Everything that made it different from other shounen mangas was just thrown down the drain. The current arc that is being adapted is the most tolerable out of all the other arcs that is to come.

The bigger it is, the harder it falls. People expected too much from it and now that it didn't meet their expectations, it's getting more negative reception than needed.

I literally didn't hate it. i just don't like this arc, everything is repetitive since s1 some characters need make sense development but instead there just giving us bland development. I don't know you but my personal taste in this show is higher since s1 but as season goes. there's nothing new instead giving us repetitive and annoying scene. and it's becoming predictable and so rush. i can't feel the cooking anymore. it's just a show about how people overreacting and having orgasms over and over again.

I can assure you that's what i thought. I'm also one of those shounen targets. This arc is such over exaggerated. well it's been like this since 90's, school becoming a death battle for a stupid reason. they should include drugs and bullying so it would make sense.

The next arc is so fucking messed up. I had really really really high hopes for this Anime. It was so unique and I'm sure it took them lots of time to come with every dishes. They spent so much time on this show but they just ruined it in the last arc. Imagine a top fan hating the shower himself.

Having now concluded S4, as well finishing that arc in the manga, i don't think it was that bad, though it's not my favorite arc. Can't say anything about the final arc, since i'm still reading it.

What I find a bit weird is that this season has a lower score than the previous one (Tootsuki Ressha-hen) when imo the previous one was the "worst" (still okay) and here because of the nice finale it got a bit better. (Not taking into account single OVA episodes which always get scored lower usually.)

Did the people that don't like the last arc in the manga (looking forward to that one ... since I don't know the manga and I'm curious) give low scores in expectation that the last arc might get adapted with this season as well? :D

I guess the guy at the end of episode 12 here will be the end boss / main rival of the last arc?

super powers, cringy and OP villains, cooking using chainsaw, dynamite, or poisoned shurikens, people appearing out of nowhere, NTR, just wow.

I hop JC Staff can read all of these fans recommendation: create an alternate ending original only to the anime.

Haven't read the manga but I hope Tadakoro gets Soma. lol

I dunno. I liked this arc. I think it should have ended here, so I can see how the manga went bad. I haven't read it though.

A lot of people on the first page are saying that the manga lost popularity after this arc, but that's simply not true. The manga lost popularity right after the MOON FESTIVAL. You can search the manga sales. It peaked way, way, way back in terms of popularity and sales.

Do you guys realize how long ago the Moon Festival was? Since then it was downhill.

Because it's shit and unnecessary. I briefly skimmed over those chapters in the manga and basically ignored it. The only decent part was that time skip at the very end.

Da fuq. If you really think about it, they show us some new characters right through the end. And i think that means that they will continue on the anime to the next arc... Aaarghh, I'm getting anxious as to whether I'll like it or not, I didn't read the manga yet...

Yep! Thank you for this graph, and looking it up. This is also the graph I went to research before the Fourth Plate aired. This Azami arc was not bad in my eyes, but the manga did lose popularity once this arc began. Anyone saying this is the calm before the storm is just simply incorrect.


The drop from 45,000 copies sold to 24,500 copies is an incredibly drastic fall. There is no way to spin it. This arc that just happened lost a ton of readers.
