1. Food Wars!

Let’s get 2015’s biggest practical joke out of the way first. Yes, Food Wars! is, technically, a cooking show. Yes, all the food animation is superb and the plotline itself is very fun and innocent. But this is still a Netflix anime you should not watch with your parents. Why?

If you’re trying to prove that not all anime is about the over-sexualization of everyday life, Food Wars! is not an anime that’s going to prove your case, despite it being about a young aspiring chef hoping to follow in his father’s footsteps.

The Netflix description tells you the following: “Young chef Soma enters the prestigious Totsuki Culinary Academy, where he must emerge victorious in over-the-top cooking battles or face expulsion.” That doesn’t seem like a bad show to watch with the folks, right? Especially for families who are currently missing The Great British Baking Show.

But here’s what Netflix doesn’t tell you. With every meal that these culinary students prepare in their “over-the-top” contests, there’s a taste test, which results in men and women having even more over-the-top orgasms accompanied by graphic animated visuals of what they feel like the food–such as octopus and certain kinds of sauces–is doing to their bodies. Let’s just say poor judge Mary Berry might die on the spot if she ever saw this show.
