  1. Food for the Soul Episode 12 – “Thanks for the Feast!”

    I’m going to also limit this post to being my thoughts, because this episode is one where I think you not only need to watch the rest of the series, but also the episode itself to truly feel the impact of the episode...and as a result, I don’t want this review to serve as a replacement for watching the episode. Even then, with the writeup I did last week, there wouldn’t be enough for you guys to feel the impact that the episode has. Anyway, I better get to talking about the […]

  3. For my random anisong sharing of the who knows how frequently...surprisingly enough, NOT something connected to that one show that my previous ones have been connected to! Instead, I'm sharing Sora Mon ne, the opening theme for Food for the Soul.

  4. Food for the Soul Episode 11 – “Are You Free for Christmas?”

    Gonna try something different for this review: instead of taking the time to detail what happens in the episode and intersperse my thoughts within those descriptions, this review is going to exclusively focus on my thoughts about the episode. Because experimentation is fun! I like how this episode was two stories that aren’t related, but they were both entertaining in their own rights. While the first story had a spookier atmosphere, the interactions between the characters were very […]

  5. Food for the Soul Episode 10 – “I’m Home”

    Home. A simple word that many people probably already know well. A lot of people also have a place they can connect to that simple word. And sometimes, it’s good to return to your roots. Unless your roots were harmful to you. Then, yeah, it’s good to stay away from them. Anyway, it’s time for me to discuss Food for the Soul.

    The episode begins with the crew in the club room, having finished their finals for…whatever quarter they were in, and they’re discussing where they’re going […]

  6. Food for the Soul Episode 9 – “Let’s Try Running a Stall!”

    It’s the time of year for the Japanese schools to host their festivals or fairs or whatever and open their stalls and whatnot. At least, at the time this episode of Food for the Soul takes place. Look, I’m an American who grew up around anime and manga. That’s not the same as someone who was literally born and raised in Japan. I don’t think just watching anime will give me enough clues about the culture to make good calls. At the very least, it’s after their summer break! Woo! Okay, […]

  7. Food for the Soul Episode 8 – “The Air Conditioner Is…Broken?”

    Ah, summer. The time of year when the heat gets to be more oppressive than Dr. Eggman’s father. (Mom, if you’re reading this, then I do NOT expect you to understand that last sentence. It is a reference to something, though.) Yes, we’ve been in summer for quite a while at this point, and this is going up as we’re getting closer to the tail-end of summer (though it’s still a bit of a ways off), but my comment still stands. I hope you have your ACs (or box fans) and ice water (or […]

  8. Food for the Soul Episode 7 – “I Don’t Think I’ll Ever Forget”

    I hate experiencing writer’s block for my little pre-review paragraphs. Yes, I know these aren’t required, but I honestly enjoy writing these, and even if it helps the tiniest bit to help you get prepared for the review, then so be it. Let’s a freaking go into the review.

    We open the episode on a flashback to Mako’s elementary school days, where Mako, Shinon, and two of their friends from the time want to buy a parfait…but they only have like 200 yen and four acorns (acorns here […]

  9. Food for the Soul Episode 6 – “Could It Be I’ve Gained Some Weight?”

    I know what some of y’all may be thinking, either by watching the series yourself or reading my write-ups: “If they have this much food so often, shouldn’t they be gaining weight?” This episode confronts that question head-on, and in my personal opinion, that makes it all the more fun!

    The episode begins with the girls eating out, and it’s evident that Mako has already eaten a lot of food before this meetup because of the dialogue…and she’s eating more here, even getting […]

  10. Food for the Soul Episode 5 – “Want to Go for a Drive?”

    Car go vrrbrrrr. …okay, sorry, I have no other ideas for how to start this post. Look, I don’t drive. I can’t be witty about something I don’t have firsthand experience with.

    The episode begins with Kurea and Shinon in a waiting room before taking the test to get their driver’s licenses. Kurea is studying, while Shinon insists that she will pass with the power of the stars above and pure luck or something, and that, most importantly, she’s already done her studying. So, to test […]

  11. Food for the Soul Episode 4 – “This is Nana Hoshi”

    Remember when in my Preliminary Opinion video about this show I made a prediction (in character as one of the characters I utilize on my YouTube channel) about when the fifth member of the club would get introduced in the series. And, well..if you watched this series as it aired (like me!), then you would know that my prediction aged terribly. You’ve read the title, you know what’s gonna happen, let’s do this.

    This episode has us learn what one of the classes that Mako takes in […]

  12. Food for the Soul Episode 3 – “My Money’s Gone!”

    “Happy Easter!” I say as I get dogpiled for saying this in July. In my defense, I got the stuff that was gotten for me for EASTER on the day I’m writing this (my parents arrived at my at-the-time college dorm when I was busy watching this episode, smh), so I think I can be a bit late with my holiday celebrations. Anyway, let’s check out what’s happening in the episode today.

    The episode begins with the Food Culture Research Club deciding to go on a trip, and picking where that […]

  13. Food for the Soul Episode 2 – “I Might Want To Cook”

    Do you ever just watch a show and feel like “I wanna do what’s being talked about in this show”? That’s me with this show right now. I really wanna cook. And while watching it at the time I COULDN’T because I was on a college campus, but maybe I could try my hand at cooking now. And, like…something more complex than just instant ramen or Kraft Mac and Cheese. I don’t know if those even count as cooking. Anyway, time to cover Food for the Soul Episode 2.

    After finding out that […]

  14. Food for the Soul Episode 1 – “Welcome to the Food Culture Research Club”

    If there’s one thing that I can fall back on every single time without fail, it’s shows of cute girls doing cute things for the sake of just doing the things. Besides, with a little thing called EVERYTHING GOING ON IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW JEEZ LOUISE, I figured it’d be worth it for us all to find some zen with me covering a more laid back show. Heh, kinda reminds me of the Fall 2023 anime season. Anyway, lets talk about Food for the Soul, which is certainly food for my soul so far.

    We […]
