Every time I watch some delicious animated ramen I'll be like "ooh, I gotta make that!" Then I end up staring at a bowl of sad, bloated Maruchan with little bits of fake veggies floating around. T_T
PongoXBongo I KNOW RIGHT? I was watching naruto (original) recently and there was a filler episode dedicated to Raman and I was like "is it really as simple as putting eggs and water into rice flower? Because I might just go try that, even tho I know I'm gonna mess it up"
Anime is the only time I question being vegan. Every time some of their ramen or what have you comes up I'm like "Well, that's not a WHOLE lot of meat/egg/dairy... " I get over it eventually. That said when Lauren Tsai from Terrace House Aloha state said she was moving to Japan all I could think was "Jesus, this chick is a masochist." Watching anime as a vegan is hard. Living in Japan as one? Chick is crazy.
May I recommend "kitsune udon". It's a soup with tofu instead of meat, and the name--kitsune means fox--is because the broth is the reddish-brown color of a fox's fur. Very tasty!
@@monkeymouse Right on. I've gotten pretty good at making bastardized american yakisoba and ramen. Won't ever taste the same without the fish oils/pork bone broth and stuff, but it works out well enough when you start adding veggies you just plain like even if they're not traditionally japanese. Kitsume udon isn't that different from my vegan ramen. I throw in a lot more veggies though as salt (kobmu/soy), sugar (mirin), starch and protein is pretty bland.
@@monkeymouse omg yes! I was addicted to Kitsune udon when I was in Japan, but I also had loads of fun with the different pickled foods they made. I also really miss the good zaru soba, I need to figure out making my own broth and such.
You are almost right. Anything with the fried tofu (油揚げ) is called Kitsune- or Inari- because the food is regarded as a kitsune's favourite and the white kitsune is the messenger of Inari Shinto god.
Anime food is also what I call hyper realistic. The sheen, the depth and richness of color etc are all up to eleven and contrast is a big factor. Meat when cooked is generally gray or white, but in anime, it often stays a beautiful rich red, orange or sienna browns Anime food is entirely unrealistic. Nothing in the world looks that juicy, that hydrated and shiny as well as that colorful. Western animation keeps it a little bit more realistic and also assumes the audience knows what the food is with basic color and shape renderings. In Japan, they also try to actually make foods look that good. Cultivating fruits, meats etc that keep perfect shapes and colors to mimic what they desire in anime. I wish anime food was real anywhere. Sadly, it's not. Real life especially the way our eyes perceive something vs say a picture (cameras don't work all that much like our eyes, so a lot of color is often lost) is strange in that it's more dull, yet also more contrasted than any picture or drawing gives us. It's really hard to replicate something that looks truly real to the eye for this reason, and is why all realistic works, as in, "That looks like a photo" type drawings are extremely time consuming, no matter how good you get at doing it, because the level of detail that exists in real life is insane and our eyes pick up on more of it than we think.
As a Texan, I would love to see our BBQ feature in an anime. Just imagine how incredibly detailed the ribs, briskets, and sausages would look with all that sauce! Don't leave out the white bread.
weheartit.com/entry/308933038 gif of BBQ in anime style. I think meat and naturally moist foods all look amazingly delicious in anime, rice, meat, icecream, butter, fats, water etc.
I refer you to "Silver Spoon", a story set in an agricultural high school, which teaches kids how to raise animals, how to do food prep... not to mention the harsher realities of knowing the runt pig that you've taken a liking to is going to be a pork bowl one day.
@Abinanta Maheswara Sorry, I don't recall the specifics of the series. That comment was from years ago and it was years before that when I originally watched it.
Really food has an importance in every culture. I went to elementary school in Chicago and as an adult if you go to my job and mention pizza me and my co worker from New York will war. It doesn't matter what you say about pizza you will regret it because then you have to hear us scream at each other.
Yuru Camp made camping cooking look so easy and tasty. Even the cup ramen looked more delicious than what it is in real life. I recommend it if you wanna relax and get hungry lol.
Sadly Toriko was not mentioned on here. The food anime that got me into food anime before Food wars was even a thing. Such a under looked anime of giant 20-pack bara men that fight monsters just to eat them and use special culinary powers such as the power of the Fork and Knife.
_"why does food in western cartoons not look as detailed as the ones in anime?"_ Maybe because western cartoon in general are just not as detailed as anime to begin with? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@justnuttedinasock2054 To be fair, 90% of cartoon characters are purposely deformed, if they managed to look the same even with that, the author would certainly be called incompetent.
Can we not forget the dishes from Wolf Children: Ame and Yuki? Like i dont even know what it was, or eat its real world counterpart but it had me drooling x3
Going through the manga... the skewers were yakitori, just chicken breasts, onions and bell peppers on a skewer with teriyaki sauce and the only other food coming to mind is the pheasant udon... you can probably figure out some sort of chicken udon recipe if you want, it just seemed to have carrots and green beans in it.
As a martial artist I love every pre and post tournament feast the saiyans have. In real life it's amazing to share and celebrate victory or even munch up to hype up.
Black Butler also paid really good detail to food! The episode with the cooking competition and the curry bread was one of my absolute favorites! I remember immediately going to go look for the recipe!!! 🍛🥖 Also, I know this isn’t anime-but I love a particular short of Steven Universe where Steven imitates a Cooking With Dog segment from the Japanese UA-cam series which Steven named “Cooking With Lion”... IT WAS SPOT ON AND CUTE AF! Also, I love Cooking With Dog! 🐕
You forgot Yakitate Japan! ugh! Every time I watch that show I want to eat all the bread. Yum Yum~! *^_^* all the very extra reactions to the food is hilarious too.
The most memorable anime food moment for me is from an old show "Heidi". It was shown in our country years ago. They melted a slab of goat's cheese on a metal rod on top an open flame, then as the cheese started to melt they placed it on a thick slice of bread. As they were eating it the cheese whould melt and stick to the mouths of the characters, making long strans of melted cheese as they bite unto it. They paired it up with hot goat milk on a winter night ontop of the himalayans. It made me think man i want to taste that too! Years later Gintama parodied this very scene by bribing people with an authentic Heidi dinner. It was awsome
Liked for La Puta Toast. 😂 That was really interesting though. I never even though about WHY food was so important in anime, I just accepted and enjoyed it as an anime convention. Thanks for breaking this down. Also anybody who hasn't seen "Yakitate!! Japan" should check it out. Superpowered competitive breadmaking anime. It's hilarious. Someone literally dies once because the bread is so good. 😂
Selena reborn otaku realness: sailor moon goth also energetic, low key also a true fan of these animes, cartoons equipped with receipt references: You are serving a great show I am here for it.
Thank you for answering a question I did not know was rolling around in my head. Seriously, thank you, great video. ....time for me to rewatch season one of Food Wars....
My favourite food moments in anime came from OG Sailormoon!!! All the drinks and cakes and crepes they would eat looked amazing!!! Even the hot yams in the Super S movie looked amazing 💕❤️💕
What a lovely morsel has blessed our Feed today! Thank you Crystal Marie for another mouth watering video! Food always looks so amazing and beautiful 😊
when I started watching Food Wars I quickly realized that I need food while watching or my stomach was growling so loud. BTW I started watching it because of your channel
Has anyone wanted to be in Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma just to taste Erina’s God Tongue heaven and Soma’s Yukihira style creativeness, and Mito-san’s A5 beef, and Nakiri Alice’s In the future Cusine? And to tell Mito-San that she should confront your dad that he should not put a mountain of salt on steak
I've just subscribed. The videos are like if Film Theory and Sourcefed had an anime baby. It's a shame you guys don't have more subscribers. Be deserving some high key praise right about now.
A lot of time in Shounen anime they fight work and train so hard it feels rewarding and earned when they eat good food ( One Piece for example) and I believe that transfers over to us as well making it feel like we’re eating it too. 🍽
It's not just anime, though. Food usually looks really really good in animation. Desserts, and melted cheese always get me. That and sometimes a chraracter eats and eats like nothing or they eat the whole chicken, the container, or even the fridge and honestly, that looks yummy lol Speaking of yummy, every dish shown on this video looks great. American food looks even yummier in anime
Best oh-toro sushi close-up i have ever seen: GTO episode 18, also i can't believe you guys didn't mention "Kantaro: The Sweet Tooth Salary Man" at all
I loved it in Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card when Sakura made bento for the flower viewing, it looked soooo good. Also, I love the food in Natsume Yuujinchou, especially since it was prepared for Takashi so lovingly after years of his being mistreated by guardians. Kakuriyo has some really nice food too.
For a little bit there I was worried that you guys wouldn't talk about my favorite food anime moment because it wasn't Japanese food, but then you did! Jojo's Diamond is Unbreakable's "Let's go eat some Italian food" is one of my favorite filler episodes because the food looks so good and they hype up the restaurant like it is more dangerous than a few villains that we have seen up to that point.
I loved all the food preparations in Amaama to Inazuma. It showed a child's perception of food, and also a novice's one, which is rarely seen in general media
Food anime history and not even a passing mention of Yakitate Japan? Azuma makes a bread so delicious that it brings someone's family back to life! And all the bread looks so delicious!
I gave it some thought and looked into it... Food in Loony Toons cartoons, not all but some especially those set in some ritzy location, night club, mansion, or some such, looks really good. This is especially obvious for holiday themed episode, set around a Thanksgiving feast, or Christmas dinner.
Cristal, it is an absolute CRIME you didn't mention Black Butler! 😊 Every time there's Sebastian makes a pastry, it's flashed on screen with a cute label🍰🥧, not to mention the beef donburi 🥩from the very first episode and the curry contest.🥘🍜🍛
Since I live in Japan what you said is all true. When you have a chance to visited Japan, I recommend you to visit DEPACHIKA（デパ地下） where you will find all kinds of food in Japan. You can find DEPACHIKA at underground of department stores easily (DEPACHIKA just means underground of department stores) .
I'm so surprised that you didn't mention Classic Disney, Tex Avery, or MGM cartoons when discussing Western animation's depictions of food. Anyone remember the *Tom and Jerry Thanksgiving episode* ? 50s animation had a contrast of highly detailed animation, more simplistic animation. What I mean is, just like today, there were backgrounds or other details that were painted on the cels by experts in realism, and then there were the "traditional animators" who animated the characters, which were less visually complex in order to focus on the frame-by-frame animation fluidity. I disagree with Matt G -- they had less money and weaker technology back when these classic cartoons were made, yet they *Still look better than today's Western cartoons* , in my Personal opinion. I think it is also more about the change of trends in most animation -- compare 50s style animation to the Cal Arts style today.
I laughed way too hard at you talking about Laputa... there's a ramen shop I used to go to pretty often in Japan called Kamibuta... granted, in Japanese it translates to godly pig, buta = pig in Japanese. I have to say I loved Katsudon when my husband was stationed in Japan... and a lot of the things in these different anime are making me miss Japan. I'm definitely trying to figure out making some of these meals on my own and I actually have bento boxes for me to bring with me when I go out.
enkeli19 oh gosh! You’re making me want to make a bento and I legit can’t even cook. I stayed in Toyama and Kanazawa for a while and everything was just so delicious, let’s go back to Japan! *looks at her pockets* ... someday!
There's no anime for this series, but one manga I've been reading recently that's really detailed with it's food, clothing, etc is Otoyomegatari also known as Bride's Stories by Kaoru Mori, iirc. It's a slice of life genre and very interesting imho
It’s a shame we don’t put as much attention to detail in our animation and comic books - maybe because we believe the focus is supposed to be on the characters and the situation and not on the food, or because food culture is just less of a thing here, which is honestly quite sad. I gotta say now though, seeing this video and learning about why food is always so detailed in anime, it makes me want to draw a bunch of food, and try making the food detailed when it appears in pictures or comics.
Fun story time. "Laputa" comes from Jonathan Swift's novel "Gulliver's Travels", and the author used that name for an floating island in the sky where all the politicians lived, completely above reality itself. And the author... knew EXACTLY what that meant in Spanish :D he just banked on the Brits not knowing too! ;)
The first time I noticed this was when watching Black Butler cus...omg not only does the food in that show look amazing but it highlights just how skilled Sebastian is. And while the character development is....eh, Sword Art Online also has amazing looking food. 🤤🤤🤤
Victoria Van Arnam the way they went into detail of everything from the ingredients to how it made them feel and their over the top reactions before you even knew the food could give someone those reactions was revolutionary
The movie "In This Corner of the World", set in a village near Hiroshima during WW2, reminds the viewer that Japan's history had periods where food was barely present at all. It's celebrated in the arts as a reminder that it hasn't been easy to come by. As for a favorite sequence, there are several in the Ghibli film "From Up On Poppy Hill" set in 1963. The beginning sequence of one student making breakfast for an entire boarding house sets the scene perfectly.
Oh wow that scene was perfect as you said. I love how the food acts as an anchor for a tone in the scene, this space in time is a safe cocoon of innocence before it's lost. That's how "From Up On Poppy Hill's" opening food preparation sequence makes me feel.
lol i couldn't resist making bread with egg when seeing the first image of it and then shortly after i continue watching and see you talk about this effect it has XD
Anyone else hungry now? 🤤

Anime is the only time I question being vegan. Every time some of their ramen or what have you comes up I'm like "Well, that's not a WHOLE lot of meat/egg/dairy... " I get over it eventually. That said when Lauren Tsai from Terrace House Aloha state said she was moving to Japan all I could think was "Jesus, this chick is a masochist." Watching anime as a vegan is hard. Living in Japan as one? Chick is crazy.
May I recommend "kitsune udon". It's a soup with tofu instead of meat, and the name--kitsune means fox--is because the broth is the reddish-brown color of a fox's fur. Very tasty!
@@monkeymouse Right on. I've gotten pretty good at making bastardized american yakisoba and ramen. Won't ever taste the same without the fish oils/pork bone broth and stuff, but it works out well enough when you start adding veggies you just plain like even if they're not traditionally japanese.
Kitsume udon isn't that different from my vegan ramen. I throw in a lot more veggies though as salt (kobmu/soy), sugar (mirin), starch and protein is pretty bland.
Being vegan the equivalent of turning yourself over for a crime someone else did and everyone knew it wasn't you but you insist.
@@monkeymouse omg yes! I was addicted to Kitsune udon when I was in Japan, but I also had loads of fun with the different pickled foods they made. I also really miss the good zaru soba, I need to figure out making my own broth and such.
You are almost right. Anything with the fried tofu (油揚げ) is called Kitsune- or Inari- because the food is regarded as a kitsune's favourite and the white kitsune is the messenger of Inari Shinto god.
Anime food is also what I call hyper realistic. The sheen, the depth and richness of color etc are all up to eleven and contrast is a big factor.
Meat when cooked is generally gray or white, but in anime, it often stays a beautiful rich red, orange or sienna browns
Anime food is entirely unrealistic. Nothing in the world looks that juicy, that hydrated and shiny as well as that colorful.
Western animation keeps it a little bit more realistic and also assumes the audience knows what the food is with basic color and shape renderings.

What I mean is, just like today, there were backgrounds or other details that were painted on the cels by experts in realism, and then there were the "traditional animators" who animated the characters, which were less visually complex in order to focus on the frame-by-frame animation fluidity.
I disagree with Matt G -- they had less money and weaker technology back when these classic cartoons were made, yet they *Still look better than today's Western cartoons* , in my Personal opinion. I think it is also more about the change of trends in most animation -- compare 50s style animation to the Cal Arts style today.
thank you for leading me to a new anime that i had yet to watch.
My stomach made strange sounds while I was watching this... Good work!
When I started watching Food Wars I didn't expect to like it but now I've rewatched it three times and bought all the english manga
I laughed way too hard at you talking about Laputa... there's a ramen shop I used to go to pretty often in Japan called Kamibuta... granted, in Japanese it translates to godly pig, buta = pig in Japanese. I have to say I loved Katsudon when my husband was stationed in Japan... and a lot of the things in these different anime are making me miss Japan. I'm definitely trying to figure out making some of these meals on my own and I actually have bento boxes for me to bring with me when I go out.
enkeli19 oh gosh! You’re making me want to make a bento and I legit can’t even cook. I stayed in Toyama and Kanazawa for a while and everything was just so delicious, let’s go back to Japan! *looks at her pockets* ... someday!
Every time I see Chairman Kaga (Iron Chef Host) it makes my heart sing.
if there isn't already there needs to be a restaurant that makes dishes from animes. I'd certainly go there all the time :)
Sheree Jones agree on so many levels
There's no anime for this series, but one manga I've been reading recently that's really detailed with it's food, clothing, etc is Otoyomegatari also known as Bride's Stories by Kaoru Mori, iirc. It's a slice of life genre and very interesting imho
You guys got me nostalgia-foodgasming over Studio Ghibli food. You forgot the stew from Princess Mononoke though
I remember watching that pokemon episode with the "jelly doughnut" recently and it drove me crazy! lol
SWEET! Much love from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
I was already hungry when watching this now I'm ever more hungry 😢
Favorite Food Moment in Anime?
(Spoiler) for Yakitate!!! Japan
They make a Bread so good, that the Judge who is eating it, is Traveling back in Time.
Mine is when the judge goes to heaven, if only for a short time.
I'm glad they included Restaurant to Another World in this. The food always looks delicious :)
It’s a shame we don’t put as much attention to detail in our animation and comic books - maybe because we believe the focus is supposed to be on the characters and the situation and not on the food, or because food culture is just less of a thing here, which is honestly quite sad.
I gotta say now though, seeing this video and learning about why food is always so detailed in anime, it makes me want to draw a bunch of food, and try making the food detailed when it appears in pictures or comics.
*_I thought Krabby Patties are the best anime food exists in history._*
Spongebob is, of course, the best anime there.
Sponge Bob is anime?

no.
The WacDonalds in Sailor Moon used to always make me hungry. It's the 1st time I noticed how those drawings crush regular commercials.
Ive seen some suggestion that the bad cabbage was a parody of cabbages in anime always being drawn disproportionately well.
In episode 8 of Erased, That breakfast looked amazing! I got hungry for a second... after that i cried
Fun story time. "Laputa" comes from Jonathan Swift's novel "Gulliver's Travels", and the author used that name for an floating island in the sky where all the politicians lived, completely above reality itself. And the author... knew EXACTLY what that meant in Spanish :D he just banked on the Brits not knowing too! ;)
The first time I noticed this was when watching Black Butler cus...omg not only does the food in that show look amazing but it highlights just how skilled Sebastian is. And while the character development is....eh, Sword Art Online also has amazing looking food. 🤤🤤🤤
Toriko is my favorite food anime!
Victoria Van Arnam the way they went into detail of everything from the ingredients to how it made them feel and their over the top reactions before you even knew the food could give someone those reactions was revolutionary
I cannot believe that you didn't mention Chuuka Ichiban! Which was sooooo huge in Japan as one of the very popular food anime!
Food War's dishes arew so mouth watering that everytime I watch it I get so freaking hungery
Nathaniel Duncan well I like it and so do others. So don’t watch things you don’t like, mind your own business and leave.
Thank You
Not sure if anyone said this or not but the ramen from space dandy looks amazing!
"Ooh, jelly doughnut"
**TRIGGERED**
Don't lie...
You've always wanted to eat Ichiraku's ramen
Sweetness and Lightning!! Also currypan from Black Butler.
Lol that narration!! Why can’t real food be so good?!
The movie "In This Corner of the World", set in a village near Hiroshima during WW2, reminds the viewer that Japan's history had periods where food was barely present at all. It's celebrated in the arts as a reminder that it hasn't been easy to come by.
As for a favorite sequence, there are several in the Ghibli film "From Up On Poppy Hill" set in 1963. The beginning sequence of one student making breakfast for an entire boarding house sets the scene perfectly.
Oh wow that scene was perfect as you said. I love how the food acts as an anchor for a tone in the scene, this space in time is a safe cocoon of innocence before it's lost. That's how "From Up On Poppy Hill's" opening food preparation sequence makes me feel.
Asuna's Sandwich in SAO 😉 Which I learned how to cook and oh by golly it tastes almost as good as it looks! 💕
Lmao. I died of laughter when you said that laputa means something else
KiraKira Pretty Cure a la Mode and it's adorable little animal sweets gets me everytime
lol i couldn't resist making bread with egg when seeing the first image of it and then shortly after i continue watching and see you talk about this effect it has XD
you are probably my favorite youtuber right now, I can't stop binge watching your vids.... it's like crack. Almost better than sex
