End of year drama challenge 2025
Day 6 :
A drama you dropped in 2025?
I dropped several dramas in 2025. My plan to watch list is very long and still expanding, and I have no pleasure to hatewatch.
I dropped the #jdrama #fermatscuisine (2023) after 2 and a half episodes.
It was a manga adaptation and somehow, I felt that they didn't made enough work/change to adapt it to be a drama. Plus the assumption that he is using maths to cook, though he is mostly using physics and chemistry...
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.
Found my food anime for this season: #FermatsCuisine 🤤
The main character is believable and I recently listened to a history podcast about “genius” William Sidis who got bad press when he didn’t fulfill expectations, which made the scenario more believable to me. I wouldn’t need all the cooking to be so competitive but it works. Really made me want to run into the kitchen and try my hand on Napolitan myself 😄
Having such a strong-willed character as Kai alongside Gaku is also really balancing things out in a great way.
I am doing two rewatches with my partner now, #Healer and #FermatsCuisine. I am enjoying both of them again. I wonder what else I have already watched that he would like. I thought about these two for a long time, and he is really liking them so far.
