Bistro Recipe Opening

Remember that unusual show about battling with food they used to play way back when on Saturday mornings, Fighting Foodons?
The Japanese version, Bistro Recipe has quite an interesting opening. Although it has crappy animation the song is kind of catchy.

[@HandlebarOrionX]

I loved this show so much, I had page after page of elaborate fanmade foodons I drew and colored in that I wanted to send to FoxBox for the Fighting Foodons contest, but since my mom would tape the Saturday morning kids shows and I'd watch the tapes at my leisure, I found out about the contest too late and I was never able to send them in

[@jojishigesso]

Orion Ake Dude same!! I drew a carrot karate fighting character, it was cool

[@Tekirai]

I sent in an ice cream foodon called ice creambella Lol based on opera lmao

[@HandlebarOrionX]

@Pickles and ChipsI had some over the top Foodon that was supposed to be some vase made of sugar with some type of cheesy seafood sauce in it and be held together with egg wash. I got the idea from an Iron Chef battle where I think the challenger made this beautiful edible chinese style bowl that looks like ceramic and it served some type of saucey food concoction with squid ink in it

[@Xevnar]

Holy crap, this slaps insanely harder than it has any right to

[@hypedemerald]

I think that the English opening suited the parody aspects of the anime and actually "said" a tad more about the general plot. This one was more like the souffle I tried to make.

[@deathwizard1996]

This sounds pretty cool to hear

[@CJMoody]

Man, what the hell made 4kids think kids wouldn't get pumped listening to this? Even if they just came up with their own cheesy lyrics for the song as opposed to translating the original lyrics, it would still be infinitely better than the opening we got.

[@Gooord]

Looks absolutely delectable.

[@Nenie]

OMG! Thankyou i've been looking for the opening for 4 years, and the ending!

[@_quirky_3617]

Billiam was right the Japanese Opening is so much better

[@namesdontmattergaming2756]

_ Quirky_ Lol you’re from there to huh?

[@aliastheabnormal]

This is kind of 4kids thing. Remember the One piece rap?

[@namesdontmattergaming2756]

aliastheabnormal Remember? Homeboy, that’s my jam!! Lol

[@rescuerex7031]

@@aliastheabnormal The One Piece rap was at least a new song, and the Pokemon openings are good, and the Yu-Gi-Oh DM opening was good, and ZeXal's 2 openings were good

[@CrimsonNineTail]

He got you here too huh? I saw a bit of this back in the day, but never got into it. Now Mon Colle Knights, on the other hand.

IT'S RUDE FOOD WITH ATTITUDE!

[@HaldoChan]

Wow, this actually kind of makes me want to watch Bistro Recipe... o.o

[@juliana.lymond2622]

This Is Better Than The English Opening Because It Doesn't Have Any Dr. Seuss-esque Rhyming.

[@angelcatastrophe]

i used to love this show x3

[@nindialiceputri8636]

I need full opening :(

[@darkdoctor1915]

I have been looking for one too

[@johncoreyturner9914]

It truly baffles my mind HOW this song is so far under the radar NO ONE knows much of anything about it. You can't find it ANYWHERE and even if you do order the CD all you're getting is the TV opening the same length as this video. This anime isn't even that old to begin with...seriously...what the fuck?!

[@GundamLegacyExtreme]

It just kills me how annoying it is to find a good quality version of the japanese version with subs of the show in general...

[@TheCrabbyArchives]

@@GundamLegacyExtreme Ancient post I know but do raws of it even exist online? I swear to god it's lost media

[@GundamLegacyExtreme]

@@TheCrabbyArchives I haven't been able to find any in the 8 years I've searched. It's up there with random episodes of the subbed versions of Zoids Chaotic Century and the entirety of New Century Zero subbed being impossible to find.

[@user-pg2hw3um7t]

懐かしい❗ありがたい

[@Raiden7284677]

Why are the original Japanese versions so much better than their localizations?

[@Nellufy]

Wow, this looks so familiar. LOL Brings back memories.

[@Jin-hima]

懐かしい！ このアニメでエビチャーハンという単語を覚えた

[@mattwo7]

Well I can safely say this song is far superior to the 4kids theme, even if it is a bit on the generic side...

[@13Kr4zYAzN13]

It's 4kids Let's be real: it wasn't hard to beat lol

[@Hey-Its-Dingo]

@@13Kr4zYAzN13 You might not want to admit it because of how bad their dubs were, but most of their theme songs were actually really good. (With a few, very painful, exceptions)

[@Hey-Its-Dingo]

That said, this song is infinitely better than the English one. (And I like the hokey factor of the English theme)

[@DarkCloud3000]

Actually, the English one is better. You’re angry weebs.

[@mattwo7]

@@DarkCloud3000 Actually you're wrong on both counts, 4kids did sometimes do better. Tokyo Mew Mew and Cubix for example. Though both the Japanese and 4kids openings for Magical Do Re Mi were abject garbage. Fighting Foodons didn't even make my top 8 4kids openings. I'd probably put it on my best of the worst 4kids themes list when I get around to making it though but it won't be anywhere near number one because it uses public domain music (Infernal Gallop).

[@k24601]

I love this series....I was really mad when they took it off the air. I don't remember there being 25 episodes, I remember only a few episodes and then they pulled the plug (way too early in my opinion)

[@maxy357]

i agree the song is pretty catchy :)

[@samuraishadow4027]

Ok but why can't I find the Japanese version of the show anywhere

[@OtakuChixx]

Man this opening is 200 times better than that crappy opening Fox Box did. Where is the full opening to this?

[@DJBrokenHigh]

They realeased a manga for this show a couple years back, but you'll (probably) have to search a few Japaneese sites to find it.

[@Ayamesohma123]

I remember this show it was called fighting foodoff in the u.s

[@philnone1004]

Off? NOT ONs? lmao XD

[@Slammarang]

I just watched the complete series of Fighting Foodons on DVD, I really want to know the original Japanese story since I can tell some things were definitely changed. Like what happened to Hot Doggone it?

[@Serasia]

Japan gives even the weirdest shows the most dramatic trailers as if they’re soap operas.

[@failedatmakingasandwich423]

[@MimikCry]

Sammmeee I watched this in the Chinese dub I had the DVD for it and loved it lol. But damn 13 years ago that comment was made

[@21stcenturyschizoidmana29]

This song would actually fit for Shokugeki

[@brimstoneclub]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@pjrunited7]

Akhirnya ketemu juga nih anime

[@Orenjiday]

@TheAbridgedBros Haha I know right? It does make it look more epic... I got it from this site that was up and running maybe 6 or 7 years ago. It was a site that shared information about different animes that were currently showing on Japanese TV and hosted videos of the openings/endings :) I forget the name of the site though. Something like "Dave's Anime Openings" or "Dan's". Not sure.

[@Orenjiday]

@PokemonSubber It's "Shining Heart" Says so in katakana on the bottom of the screen so....yup.

[@weedshrek]

yea, this one focuses alot more on action, while teh english one was just kinda had a 'lets have fun!' theme going

[@AnimeLoveLover123]

Now I'm hungry :

[@DarkpaladinEXE]

I remember this show and a little bit of the dub opening (the part where they're yelling "fighting foodons").I also remember losing interest in the show a little after the main character dude found his father.It was a very strange show with a very strange plot (at least I think cause I don't remember to well).

[@fialzqy]

i can't find the real one on websites i rlly want to download it

[@hmcvirgo92]

I hate Fighting Foodons, but the original Japanese opening is actually pretty good.

[@wishmatrix1589]

サントラにフルサイズが無くて驚きました。

[@gouravchakraborty9801]

This one blows the English opening out of the water

[@Orenjiday]

Ahhh I see :) I don't know much Chinese but I know that Japan did use aspects of Chinese characters to form their own written language so I guess it is similar in certain ways. One of my Japanese teachers told me he communicated (although very difficultly) with a Chinese speaker using only kanji! So you're fluent in Chinese? That's really cool! I know a little bit of Japanese but not enough to say I'm fluent at all ^^ I'd love to learn more someday though

[@DarkAtHearts]

A far superior Japanese opening compared to the English one.

[@DJBrokenHigh]

Please, if your a big fan of this show like I am, try to get some people to watch it. If the ratings are good enough, this means if there's enough good comments about the show, they will put the entire season on DVD. There were a total of 26 episodes (duration: 25 min). I want this show back on the air (& on DVD) just as much as anyone else. Copy and paste this message to any Bistro Recipe/Fighting Foodons clips, pictures, blogs, &/or websites to spread the word.

[@williamhowe1]

This already beats anything 4kids has done!

[@Orenjiday]

I have to agree with Dante...Even in America we have a large amount of Chinese speakers, and China out numbers us by almost a billion people. I understand that the media does focus on the English language but it's not the most widely used. It's much more challenging for a Japanese/Korean/Chinese speaker to learn English than it is the other way around. It might be preferred to teach English in schools because it IS popular, but the most dominant language in the world is in fact Mandarin.
