Why didn't I see it earlier? The blood sport cooking tournaments, the obsessive kitchen training sequences, the goal of mastery in the vital but esoteric science of taste -- FOOD WARS! is a kung fu series with the Totsuki Fine Dining Academy standing in for the Shaolin Temple, that legendary training ground of future martial arts masters. Over the course of three seasons, I've learned more about the science and aesthetics of haute cuisine than I ever thought I'd need to know, but it wouldn't mean much if the story arcs weren't so gripping, the humor so sharp, the characters so likeable, and our star Soma Yukihira such an appealing folk-hero-in-training, a young Wong Fei-Hung in a chef's apron.
The cooking battles in season three have even higher stakes now that a tyrannical new Director has made it a priority to expel Soma and his friends by any means necessary. The season breaks off in mid-storyline, leaving us hungry for season four -- very appropriate, don'cha think?

Or, wait. Are you talking about a TV series derived from the movie?
