Shokugeki no Souma: San no Sara - Tootsuki Ressha-hen

A dark age of cooking befalls Tootsuki Culinary Academy. With the Elite Ten's devastating coup d'état, Azami Nakiri is now the director of the prestigious school. Students must now conform to Azami's ideology of "true gourmet food" and are forbidden to express creativity, or else face expulsion.

However, Souma Yukihira and the members of the Polar Star Dormitory refuse to accept these changes. Aided by other rebellious first-years, including the tenth seat, Erina Nakiri, Souma and his allies band together to fight off supporters of Azami's regime. But corrupt instructors and the menacing Central organization stand in their way, and so they must work together, harder than ever before, to survive every underhanded plot designed to banish them from the school.

The totsuki train arc is the second part of the third season of Shokugeki no Souma. It's a direct continuation of the first part and similar in many aspects.

The story is now about a series of cooking battles the rebels need to survive to not be expelled and to have a chance at completing their goals. It's a bit less exciting than the first part of the third season but still very enjoyable overall. The characters are clearly working towards a goal and it's very easy to root for them.

The characters, animation, music and voice acting are similar or the same as in ... the first part of the third season.

Overall this is a good continuation of the third season and fun to watch if you liked the previous season. It's slightly less exciting but still very good with great cooking battles.

Mixed Feelings

This has the same problems as before (look at my first 12 episodes review) and one more: there is no need to fight fairly.
If all the teachers and judges are paid and under the director influence thay can simply say that the food is bad and expel the rebels.
Gosh they could even expel them without any reason.
The facty is that we didn't need such a villain, the series was good enough when the obstacals were harsh teachers, the very competive world of high cousine and other very talented students, there is no space for a totally evil villain in a fight were the wepons are ... subjective (food taste is not absolute) and even more if everythng happens behind closed doors (even diving is subjective but a flawed judgment during the olympics will be seen by many)

While it has been a while since I watched the first two seasons of Food Wars, it's sad how much less I enjoyed this season (particularly S3 part 2) compared to the previous ones & there are several obvious reasons why my enjoyment decreased so dramatically.

For starter's I can only suspend my belief so much. The challenge of having Central trying to expel some rebellious students from the school & ONLY wanting gourmet restaurants just seems so far-fetched to me. I can't imagine it would actually be that hard to kick some kids out if they really wanted to, especially since Central has no issues ... playing unfairly. I also cannot comprehend how they think they can just eliminate all non-gourmet restaurants. Like where do people go to eat who can't afford that? They're out of luck? Just seems a ridiculous notion to me, even for this show.

In addition to that, it almost felt like every other line in this season was about how losing meant you'd get expelled. I get it, I really do. It made the conversations less engaging because they were just getting so redundant. You can demonstrate that the season is high stakes without straight up telling the audience non-stop.

& don't get me started on the animation this season. Every episode just consists of approximately 20 minutes of various faces with only their mouths moving while the focus slowly shifts to a side. Another reviewer said this season was like watching a Powerpoint presentation, and I couldn't agree more. It's basically a still image show with voices. For such a popular series I am surprised that so little effort went into the animation, and it was INCREDIBLY distracting to me. If this is the level of animation I wanted, I would just read the manga.

To end things on a more positive note, it was nice to have some character development with Erina and having her becoming closer with the Polar Star students & stand up against her dad. However, this obviously wasn't enough to save this season. The other issues were highly distracting and ultimately left me unable to enjoy this season. I honestly don't recommend this one, even if you've seen previous seasons.
