Believe it or not, this is actually the first anime I've watched while it was airing. Usually I hate watching any TV series during its season because I don't like waiting a week for the story to continue, but I love this anime way too much to wait and I'm so hyped!

If you pay close attention all the panels literally zoom in, out, sideways, etc. It's kind of weird, but I guess it works due to how carefree MC is.

The pace in this episode is different. Did they change directors for this episode?

Not just that, animation quality in general just dropped. What happened?

You should watch the 4th ova before episode 1. They didnt bother to reanimate the elite 10 intro chapter again, so they just did a short recap of it.

This season is already far better than the tournament arc. Also, spicy food is best food.
The pacing, predictability, and lack of comedy did affect the quality of s2.

TheEnhancedExe said:
Pacing is great so far, this time they adapted 3 chapters.
I guess if it continues like this


They got enough materials to 36+ episodes,

Yeah. It was very predictable until the last match, the comedy was weaker overall, and the tournament felt like it took forever to end.

These different events and the more natural interactions in s1 and s3 are infinitely superior. I just wish we had more Nakiri. I want to see her yield so badly lol (no spoilers please).

It's unfair how authors tend to play the fate card in their shows most of the times. And I really like those works where appropriate choice is made at the end barring aside the so called destiny...

If only I can give Megumi an embracing hug <3
She's too good to be wasted on someone <3



Wtf do they REALLY kick students out? Seeing how Soma and expulsion issue go together all the time, I find this scene baffling :v



The Anthem scene was really funny tho xD

I don't find them particularly stereotyping Chinese cuisine as spicy.

well, it's explained in the anime, with a map highlighting the respective region, that Kuga specialises in sichuan/ Szechuan style- one of the many styles in Chinese cuisine.

however, examples given in this episode are mostly spicy dishes from regions well known for bold flavour and spiciness, it may leave a wrong impression all Chinese dishes are spicy to some people especially those who are not familiar.

by the way, though i am Cantonese, I have a tongue for spicy food and fond of sichuan food more than canton food (e.g. dim sum). this episode have me drooling over Mapo tofu. Also Twice-cooked pork/Double-cooked pork(whatever is called, 回鍋肉 that is in chinese) is so yummy, and trust me not a dish that spicy like the Souma version, give it a try. And black pepper bun from Taiwan at the end.

I WAS CRAVING FOR FOOD the whole episode

For those who what to know more about those dishes:

Setup episode to the Festival! Souma is doing well getting help from Houjou and the Nakiris XD Nice to see everyone else prepping as well, like the Aldinis, the dorm group, Ikumi and the don club, and of course Megumi joining up with Souma! However I have to say my favourite combination is Alice (and Ryou) convincing Jun to let them team up with Akira! I hope we get to see more of them their interactions were hilarious XD Let's see how well Souma does! All I can say is that as someone who can't handle spicy food (like at all), it's good to see him going in a different direction and challenging on the Chinese cuisine side, but not in the exact same dish. I doubt that they'll win, but I think they'll put up a good fight, especially since they lack manpower :P

There's like a billion characters in the Food Wars universe. I wish there was a Food Wars VN that had different endings.

Also, I like Alice's team. This is the first time we get to see Akira doing funny faces.

Episodes with Megumi are always the best ones, she so precious and is great partner for Souma! :) And that anthem part was great too :D

And it is also funny how Erina is always jealous of Hisako x Souma getting close, her getting flustered and tsundere are always great scenes :))

Wait.. is Erina voiced by Kanemoto Hisako instead of Taneda Risa now? Guess she did good job then because I didn't even realize that. Or it may be just the fact that she was already voiced by her in the OVA and that Erina was almost nonexistent in S2.
Let's just hope that Risa would get better to voice other great animes cause she probably won't return to Shokugeki now (if to anime voicing at all).

that's why always do it like that, never watch series until its finished airing, only sometimes when i deiced to watch series or 2 from TV & i dont mean anime, anime i always watch from stream sites, only anime like Naruto i watch when its still airing (well when it was ongoing i use to make pause from it time to time) cause it has insane amount of EP u cant w8 until it ends to watch it, well new its over so its no longer a issue (well new we have series about Narutos son) :D, but i used Naruto series as example

Is his goal to win with selling more than one bun to each customer? Because obviously the other guy dish is way better and Souma is just a food stall snack
also I am seriously disappointed that he made a spicy dish also and black pepper only? lol he should at least use habanero or something black pepper is mild for true hot pepper dish lovers
I hoped he will do something to counter the hot spices of that other guy, something like combining what he learned from Hisako and Akira.
If this wins then it is unfair... he must think of something better for next days...

also after hearing OP and Ed for the second time I can say it is the worst OP/Ed from all season ;/

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

While a lot of the ladies in Souma's life was able to help him out, Megumi's especially sweet for going as far as to decline working with her friends and classmates so she can help him with his food stand in every step of the way~

It's also interesting that Alice and Hisoko pretty much nailed the reason on why I find spicy foods so addictive when they talked about the essence of Kuga's spicy dishes. I wasn't able to put it into words until now but that's definitely how I feel when I eat Samyang noodles.

It was very bold of them to set up a modest stand in front of a palace but that disparity might just make some people curious on what Souma has to offer. His first mode of attack does look promising, after all.

A good booth is fun and usually is meant for snacking, but yeah I'd preffer a restaurant to not create to much wandering around.

Another fun episode on a very, very tight budget. Good buildup for the next episode which should be nice and chaotic to see how Soma would stand a change against Kuga's massive ass restaurant booth with his buns. I like how Soma's booth is mobile, so he can get all kinds of areas to taste his dishes and build some anticipation for more, but still there's a LOT to do to just have a chance against Kuga's army and specialty. Nice seeing Megumi help him out too as well as Miyoko.

I liked how their stand came out! The way they took the concept of a traditional street vendor cart was really cute! I was a little confused though when they showed that Yukihira and Megumi are serving Taiwanese food when they said they will be serving Chinese... I'm binging though on crunchyroll so it'll probably make more sense in a few episodes :)
