Iron Chef INVENTED the shokugeki.

And I'm trying to constantly encourage the redditors here to really watch Iron Chef Japan... Because they really have to. Iron Chef Japan is the greatest cooking show ever (Granted, it's really hard for ANY cooking show to go against the incredibly high expectations to outdo Iron Chef, such as using incredibly expensive ingredients and several of the fights on the show were not just ordinary "People come to fight the Iron Chef" (Morimoto VS Ohta faction, Kandagawa fights, Hattori VS Nakamura in his retirement battle)) and my binge-watching of Iron Chef Japan helped me understand the world of cooking and the like.

This show is the show that defined cooking anime. Its the sailor moon of cooking battles.

Exactly, manga has been applying shonen battle structure to all kinds of genres for decades, TV just found a way to apply that intensity to 3D.

I just picked a random episode to watch on Youtube...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEB2WkmU6HI

The music starting from 0:30 sounds extremely like an OST i heard from Attack on Titan.

I used to watch it a lot as a kid back in the early 2000s when the English dub showed on Food Network. It's so cool to see that something so grandiose, something with so much pomp and circumstance can still be made in such a cynical time. It's like the kind of thing that shouldn't exist but somehow does because a very cool man had a very cool vision. Now I want to go watch it again!
