Where you get that idea from? my profile? Did you at least check the chapter I read up to? I stopped reading because I want to be surprised by the anime with the color, music, voice instead of the plain black/white on paper. There always new idea on cooking that common people never thought of, and the creator are probably researching around Japan since the food there is getting more diverse in reality. As for MHA, Food way always surprised me with food representation. This series gave me the motivation to cook home than eat out. |

| OP and ED is good but it also has significance behind it. In the OP its shows the upcoming battle between Souma V/S Akira and Polar Star Dormitory V/S Central/Elite 10. In the ED its shows that Souma is almost caught upto Erina and he has already surpassed Joichiro when he was Souma's age. |
Yes it is. Hoping they animate that part this season |
| Great start, finally Erina is back to her usual self (not that I disliked her otherwise). I just wonder how they plan to pass those exams if they have to go strictly by Azami's rules to pass them. Good developement, anyway. |
| I wasn't expecting much so this was surprisingly good. The animation & visual quality was great (the last season had serious issues on that front). The OP is pretty nice, the ED is alright and thankfully no nano.RIPE this time. Looking forward to seeing the parents' generation in their school days. |
OG_Gattsu said: YOOOOO, Erina’s character development!! 🔥💯 Seeing Erina’s growth, I now have conflicted feelings as to whether Megumi’s still best girl, but actually Erina 😞 I feel. My heart wants Megumi x Souma to sail because they are so adorable together, the way they support one another. SOOO ADORABLE. But my mind and the past few OP and ED animations are telling me best girl is obviously Erina. The signs are clear. In love triangles, nice girls from the beginning always get friend-zoned it's a an unavoidable trope ;__; On a side note, this episode was actually really nice in terms of pacing. Everything was executed very clearly and it was nice to see the character development for Erina. Her character annoyed me a lot, and I'm glad she'll actually listen to what people have to tell her and can empathize with others now...which makes her appearances on screen easier to bear. Souma though is a full on idiot there will not be any development in terms of relationships for this man which is fine since he is very passionate about his cooking. In the end though, I feel bad for whatever girl ends up with this dude LOL the question in the end will be who can actually accompany this guy for life. |
| Not bad, not bad. Can't wait to see how this starts to get wrapped up with this arc and the extent of the elite ten. Production is still a little weak but it looks good where it counts so I'm not gonna complain too much. |
 |
| Really good first ep IMO. Seeing Erina be inspired by Soma's cooking was heartwarming. And that speech. Try hard or leave. |
  Katsura janai, Zura da |
| The first part of the episode was way too fast for me but seems they found a balance in the second part. I hope the pace for this season is slowed down a little. Nice to see Erina standing up for herself and pushing the others forward. It would be nice if Souma could step aside for everyone else to shine but I doubt that will happen... And as always, I can count on this to make me hungry haha |
| Baby, daijobanai... |

More creative than that MHA which I don't understand the hyped from it. Let shokugeki stand on its own merits without the pointless contrast to a series that has almost nothing in common other than being in the same magazine and age group, especially when the series is like right behind a pretty infamous stretch of the manga that has led to it tanking in weekly rankings which it has yet to survive, these kind of dick measuring comparisons just end up backfiring hard when the show you put on a pedestal reaches a rough patch. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| The OP and ED are really bland, where did all that Shokugeki flare go? That said, the episode was great way to start the season. Paved way for the season's plot? Check. Screen-time for all the characters? Check. 900 IQ cooking followed by absurd food-gasm? Check. Should be a fun ride! |

| Fuck that god tongue bullshit, just get married already |
| Damn Erina... with that kind of cloth she's literally asking Soma to do it. |
dunkan85 said: *haaaah* Here we go once more. Ironically for an anime about food, this has become quite stale over time for me. It's still a decent anime, don't get me wrong, but I feel like we're increasingly just painting by the numbers here. Certainly doesn't help that (I'm assuming) the focus this season will shift more towards Erina... she's always been one of my least favorite characters in the entire anime :| O well, this week's dish was, as usual, pretty nice and actually somewhat cleverly made. Hopefully this arc is gonna be better than I feel it will be. Yeah I second this, and the comment another poster made about this arc feeling pretty lame. The last event I was really hyped for in SNS was the Chinese dish at the festival which I really enjoyed. This arc just seems very lacklustre and a real yawn, I get its a way to get Erina onside but then I preferred it when the two were antagonists. Weirdly instead of upping the ante and getting me more invested, the shadowy corporate masterminds are pretty dull. I hope this arc gets better but I wonder if it will, I haven't read the manga - and this forum is SUPPOSED to be for the anime only not discussion of the manga - however it seems there's a lot of discussion over the arc so I'm willing to bet its a problematic one. |

I think this one of those stories were the last panel will be with all the friends cooking together and no romantic conclusion. |

| The adaptation of what is possibly my favorite manga chapter. And this did not disappoint. |
| You have shit taste, and then I have taste so shit it makes your taste look good |
| 8.73 ?! The 1st episode of this season was not even good. |
| Beautiful. Wonderful. Perfect. A phenomenal way to start the new season. After all this time, Erina has been a character that's been hard to like, but now that we get to understand what it was like for her as a child, she's much more likable. This episode conveyed perfectly why Erina's father's way of cooking is wrong, it was wonderfully illustrated through Soma's cooking. Still wondering why this is called "Food Wars" when it should be called "Soma gets the Ladies Wet". Still so happy this is back. |
| The op and ed are decent but not as good as season 2 seriously I miss those times. It was a pretty decent episode full focus on Erina though it was really needed though. |

But I'm just a normal guy trying to enjoy anime at my pace without the manga and not be ruined by spoiler/meme. I want the feels and be surprised. To be excited and waiting for the next ep each week to know what to happen. Yet the ppl on the media give out it out in term of expectation like "oh this is gonna be bad/good adaption and such." If someone were to know it is bad, they already know what to expected. In the end, I can't fight them. And yes, it's a waste of time. |

And someone else wanted to discuss it further and even talked about manga. There are forum rules, and I followed that. I'm sure it is not appropriate either to have a long discussion beyond the manga or compare to some other series based on their manga here. |

| well the episode was kinda nice...It was bad for Nakiri to not say it delicious and all...but Nakiri is changing |
 |
| I want to try making that dish now, seems simple enough.... I'm going to mess it up somehow though |
 |
| I'm kinda in dilemma to drop this show now. I've been following this since season 1 and I think it was really good. Season 2 was still okay, but in season 3, the MC purely irritates me whenever I see him because of his high horse attitude. Erina's slave irritated me too in this episode alone. I don't know, man. Maybe I'm getting too old for this sort of anime. |

| AAAAAAAAYYYYYYY ITS TIME TO GET COOKIN ONCE AGAIN. Finally got that backstory on how she knew the dude's dad. Not being able to enjoy food sounds like a living hell to someone like me, as food is the second greatest part of my days on this planet. I love eating. Anyway, episode was good, and I'm happy to have this series back, just like Nakiri seemed happy to eat Yukihira's Chicken's Egg Tempura Bowl. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Erina still attached with her pride. |

Because it's a Shounen Jump adaptation: and like almost at every Shounen Jump-titles gave a couple in their franchise - In Dragon Ball: Song Goku and Chichi; in Naruto: Naruto and Hinata (to be honest, unexpected...); and in Fary Tale: Natsu and Lucy; etc. Where then isn't out closed yet that case. |

| OH GOD Wish I was one of those Yukihirachicks too... I want to peck at naked Erina too... |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| Next episode preview… Erina + glasses + business suit = Yummy! |
