Anime hamburgers come in all sorts of styles, some far stranger than others. I expected Food Wars of all shows to do them some sort of justice. I was wrong.
In addition to some of the weirdest burgers I’ve ever seen in anime — one is just meat in pita bread and the other features turtle-based sauce in a steamed bun — Episode 3 is weaker than the standard Food Wars has set for itself. It’s not really a bad episode and still furthers the plot well enough, but it’s disjointed and split between too many characters and ideas. I found my mind wandering toward the end, thinking about the next big cook-off (and an In-N-Out burger).
To its credit, Food Wars doesn’t ignore its minor characters, but this episode loses itself in trying to develop them. The hamburger battle stars Hayama Akira, a master of spice and smell, and Arato Hisako, an expert in medicinal plants. Their burgers really do reflect their personalities and reveal more about them — Hayama’s is powerful while Hisako’s isn’t ambitious enough, much like her sidekick status to the powerful and talented Erina — but unlike almost every other dish in Food Wars history, I had no desire to try either burger. It’s not just that they were weird, but that they weren’t described with the kind of care and detail as the ramen in Episode 2, for example. It all felt rushed and unfocused.
