Finished: #FermatKitchen / #FermatsCuisine

As an anime about cooking this is definitely most close to Shokugeki no Sōma in how high the stakes are all the time. I was quite entertained seeing Gaku take challenges that mostly made him thrive, and like how Kai is somehow both his mentor as well as acting like your average villain.
The show really takes things to the extreme but I found that it worked for me.

A minor annoyance is how the notable female characters are all romantically involved with someone while the men feel more independent, and of course the most interesting character dynamic is one between male characters (Gaku and Kai) 😩 Also not something new for Shōnen I guess.

I’d nevertheless watch a second season to see what Gaku comes up with next.
