But the champion of animated food these days is in anime, especially the movies of Studio Ghibli, which have become almost legendary for their tempting portrayals of meals. Whether a fancy feast or simple dishes of ramen, bacon and eggs, or fresh vegetables, their appeal is usually enhanced by the sharing with comrades, the simple ritual of eating, and the obvious gusto of the eaters. Hiyao Miyazaki also suffered through the deprivations of WWII; perhaps that honed his appreciation for a good meal.

Of course, Ghibli isn't the only place to find food porn. I remember Black Butler being paused at least once an episode to linger lovingly over some dish or dessert the demon had whipped up for his master's delectation. And in any of the Dragon Ball incarntions, whenever a Saiyan sits down to feast, you can expect a gorging of epic proportions.
