For anyone who's whatched Zankyou no Terror
There's one scene in episode 4 where these cops are trying to solve this riddle to stop this terrorist plot
And you know
It's a serious threat
We're all wondering whether they're gonna be able to figure this out
They're having this, you know, very serious conversation
GET OUT OF NOWHERE
We're greeted with the shot of the most
AESTHETIC looking bowl of ramen
I've ever seen <3
It was like if Kate Upton, Emma Watson and Scalet Johansson
had a threesome ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
and that threesome
Was this bowl of ramen <3
That's the kind of sex appeal we're talking
I...I've fucking feel in love <3
and that was it
It lasted for like two seconds, then right after we go back to this terrorist plots
I couldn't give a shit about now
because how can anything top
This
EXEQUISITE
LUSCIOUS
Crowning jewel of noodle soup
So here I am
stil
thinking about it years later
so
:)
I...I guess we're gonna make a video about
Food in Anime
Food in anime is peculiar thing I've noticed
because is hardly ever looks bad
Like not say real food can't look SEXY as fuck either
but you can take the most mundane of dishes in the real world
transported to the anime world and it would be like
at least
an 8 out of 10
WOULD BANG
I mean shit
if there was an isekai show where a ham sandwich was the main character
You'd have the scene
where is this skinny, malnourished, single slice
not even buttered
sandwich in the real world
then is transported to the anime world
and sunddenly
is the fucking bee's knee of ham sandwiches
You know
THICC slices of honey smoked premium ham
with crisp iceberg lettuce
sweet refreshing tomatoes
in between
freshly baked gourment multigrain bread
The six-inch subway tsundere
takes a look and falls in love
it has it harem posse following it everywhere
even the little sister tuna sandwich
is just like
ONII - CHAN DAISUKI <3 (what the hell.....)
I..I have no idea
where I was going with that analogy
Let's start with the obvious topic
Food anime
If you want some
quick
cheap
down and dirty
Good old-fashioned food porn
There're plen-
fuck
There are plenty of anime to choose from
You want food in anime there's like
one ever season
for all the cuisines
you could ever think of
you want to see amazing non-existed food being described to you?
you watch Tariko
you want to see a girl who loves ramen noodles?
well, how about Koisumi-san loves noodles?
you wanna watch food that makes girls realize their hips are moving on their own...
you watch hentai
like any normal person
but here you get what's exactly what it says on the tin
you watch food anime
because you want to see food
fucking chucker I know
and on the Gordon Ramsey approve scale
something like Shokugeki
is the Sword Art Online of
you know, this dish is tossed around so much
even your mom's had a go
speaking of which, love or hate SAO
here's a prime example of an average show
which for whatever reason
has delicious looking food
I mean, bang on Asuna all you want
but she knew that to be the winning girl
she needed to max out her sandwich-making skill tree
as every woman should
and that leads nicely to what I really want to talk about
food in non-food anime
food looks good in anime regardless of the focus
and this is what gets me
where the food isn't even the main focus
but it's just
cucking us
by being there
the biggest offenders that come to mind are
Makoto Shinkai's works and
Ghibli films
Shinkai's already well known for his skill for being able to make scenes that look more aesthetic then life
and his food is no exception
this omelet
looks more attractive
than I ever will
and I'm not even mad
but it's not just in the final product
it's in the preparation as well
I've never seen someone who so perfectly mastered the art of animating food being cut
cause in most anime
they try to show the skill of the chef
by having them cut things as fast as possible like
(ratatatatatatata)
but in Shinkai's stuff it's so clean
crisp
and precise
and it's just fucking mesmerizing
like let's make these scenes a new 24/7 low-fi hit hop beat stream
and maybe these poor anime girls can finally
finish their homework
but Ghibli are the king of having memorable food scenes that stick in our mind
even though the films has nothing to do with food
we all saw the buffet scene in Spirted Away and thought
yeah, you know what
if that shit was in front of me
I'd probably turned into a pig too
and it'll be totally worth it
the breakfast scene
the breakfast scene from Howl's Moving Castle
look at these clean eggs
look at this
THICC
BACON
tell me how this isn't its own ASMR experience
these are what always stick with me because
unlike with food anime
you're just not expecting it
plus sometimes food anime just exaggerate things a bit too much
that I can't relate to it anymore
you know, I can't ever say my clothes have had been blown off with having a good meal
and if someone started cumming every time we get some nuggets at Makkie-D
I'd probably think
they were a bit
weird
this though
these scenes in non-food related anime
the tears of joy you have when you have that perfect meal
this is the real shit
this is the stuff I relate to
THIS
is a fat kebeb at 3am after a night out with the lads
THIS
is an extra large cheese crusted Papa John's
after having one too many brownies in Amsterdam
THIS
IS
Umami...
the next thing I wanna touch on is
these times when I see a dish in an anime
and I have an incredible craving to try it
even if I'd never heard about it before
and don't lie
I know you have as well
I think the scene that sticks out to me as it's the first time it happened was
from Great Teacher Onizuka
there's this scene where they're just eating sushi
and somehow in this this ugly ass looking show
the sushi still looks bloody exquisite
now in this scene they're bigging up this fatty tuna
and the 15-year old
uncultured
didn't even like sushi at that time Gigguk
had never heard of fatty tuna before
so I start laying all these tuna related questions in my head
what the hell is fatty tuna?
did they force feed this tuna or something?
did they had morbidly obese tuna?
kinda chubby tuna?
body positive tuna?
I didn't fucking know
but right there I said to myself
that I need to try this sometime in my life
and that started my journey of
wanting to eat dishes just cause it was in an anime
you got your Mapo Tofus from Angel Beats
pork bowl cutlets from Yuri On Ice
ramens
so much bloody ramen everywhere
and whenever you see it
there's always that scene
where they lift the noodles up
and it's just hanging on the chopsticks
and you're just like
calm down boner
it's not real
then we have the food we're all familiar with
you have your pizzas
your burgers
(now that's a tasty burger)
you like sugary sweets?
well here are all the sugary sweets you can ever hope for
not sweet enough?
now here's an adorable maid loli eating sugary sweets
is that sweet enough?
oh
you have diabetes now?
I also want to dedicate a quick section on
how perfect bento boxes always look
I mean, some of this stuff is like
a bloody art form
but maybe I'm just salty at how bento boxes in real life are infinitely superior to
any lunch boxes I got as a kid
see, all I had was your basic
ham and cheese sandwich
cheese and onions Walkers crisp
y'know
generously packaged with
80% air
a banana
and if my mom was feeling super spicy
a penguin chocolate bar
and here anime lunches are
with its seventeen course
three layered
gourmet meal box
cause every anime girl turns in to Gordon Ramsey when cooking lunches
and don't get me started on their school dinners
I mean
look at this
this dinner
is more stacked
than Elon Musk's bank account
did you do this Jamie Oliver?
finally I wanted to dedicate a section about
eggs
and of all the different dishes and ingredients to be portrayed in anime
eggs, for some reason get the most premier treatment
I mean, it's an egg
it's just one of the most basic ingredients
oh son of a
but I never looked at it like it's this
sexy ingredient
until I watched anime
watching eggs in anime is like
one of the most erotic experiences you can have
we normally associate jiggle physics with breasts
and you know they can malfunction
but with eggs
it's always 100% spot on
fried eggs
omurice
even raw eggs somehow look appetizing
and no matter how hard you try to recreate it
it just looks awful
(somehow this still looks better than my highschool's lunch)
it's umami
fuck if anime eggs had an instagram
it'd probably have more followers than me
which wouldn't be that hard actually
follow me on instagram @giggukaz
Overall, food in anime is just one of those small insignificant things
that has actually affected me
and caused me to seek something out
there are a lot of dished I'd never would have tried
or even have wanted to try if I never saw them in an anime
and if that makes me an easily impressible weeb shit
well
blame anime for making them always look so damn delicious
and maybe not everyone's as passionate about food in anime as I am
but you know what
there's one thing I wanted to say
(and I~~~~~~)
(will always love you~~~~~~)
hey guys hope you enjoyed the video
thank you very much this month to
(too lazy to type all the names out)
and everyone else on patron for helping to support me this month and making this video possible
I know it's been a few weeks since my last upload and it's kind of cause
I was going through a bit of a writer's block I'll be honest
nothing I did satisfied me so I thought
fuck it
why not do something stupid with this video
so yeah, hoped you like the final product
hopefully I'm back to my normal self now so until then
I've been Gigguk and I'll see you all next time
