Okay, let's talk about something...controversial. Something that might make some anime fans clutch their pearls.
I'm talking about Shokugeki No Soma Season 5 Sub Indo. Specifically, my possibly unpopular opinion about it.
A Season Unlike the Others
Look, I know. Season 5 of Food Wars! was...different. It felt like it took a left turn when we were all expecting a right.
We were promised more cooking battles. We expected intense rivalries. We yearned for delicious-looking food that would make us drool.
And...we got aliens? And some sort of weird, almost sci-fi plot? What even WAS that?!
The Power of Nostalgia (and Indonesian Subs)
But here's the thing, folks. Maybe...just maybe...Season 5 wasn't *all* bad. Hear me out!
First off, the Indonesian subs! Let’s be real, finding a good sub can make or break an anime experience, am I right? Especially when everyone yelling the food name.
Those Sub Indo versions were lifesavers, letting us actually understand what was happening, even when the plot was getting, well, *weird*.
And yes, even the best subs can't fix everything, but they can at least give you a fighting chance.
The "WTF?" Factor
Okay, let’s address the giant elephant in the room. The noir. The Azami Nakiri. The...everything!
It was definitely a departure from the earlier seasons. That's an understatement.
But isn't there a tiny part of you that kind of enjoyed the sheer absurdity of it all? Like watching a train wreck in slow motion?
It's like, "Okay, they're really doing this. They're really going there. I can't look away!"
Character Moments (Hidden Gems)
Amidst the chaos, there were still some good character moments. Remember the little bonding experiences?
Soma's unwavering optimism. Erina's slow but steady character development. The teamwork and friendship.
These are the moments that kept me going, even when the plot threatened to completely derail.
Plus, seeing all those familiar faces again, even in this bizarre context, was kinda comforting.
The Food, Of Course!
Let's not forget the most important part: the food! Even in the midst of alien-esque battles, the dishes still looked amazing.
The animation was still top-notch. The foodgasms were still...present. My stomach still rumbled.
Okay, maybe the dishes weren't *always* explained as thoroughly as in previous seasons.
My Unpopular Opinion: It Wasn't *That* Bad
So, here it is: my unpopular opinion. Shokugeki No Soma Season 5, with its sometimes-wonky plot and readily available Sub Indo versions, wasn't *that* bad.
It was definitely flawed. It was definitely different. It was definitely...something.
But it was also entertaining, in its own weird way. It was memorable, if only for the sheer audacity of it all.
Plus, let's face it, sometimes we need a little bit of "WTF?" in our anime lives.
Sometimes we need to be shocked. Sometimes we need to be bewildered. Sometimes we need to see aliens fight with food.
So, yeah. I said it. Judge me if you must. But I secretly enjoyed Shokugeki No Soma Season 5 Sub Indo. And I’m not afraid to admit it.
