YES SKINNY ISAMI IS HERE! *sigh* i don't want him to go back to being fat (although he's still cute)

on another note...what in god's name is this gif! LOL SO RANDOM xD


It's from DURARARA (Season 1). I'm afraid I might disappoint you, but it's not yaoi :D


lol yeah i know that's Mikado and Kida from DRRR! I'm more concerned with the crack subtitles someone made for the gif xD

I'm tired as fuck right now, so can relate to Souma on almost a spiritual level.

Also really excited for the next episode, probably my favorite match of the tournament.

Hojouuuuuuuuuuu <3 ; u ; Isami's hair went to shit when he lost weight but Isshiki is fabulously naked as always.

Ahhh I am so excited for the upcoming taste tests and food reviews.

Seriously, the hell is she cooking in that pot?


Oh, pretty much what you imagine. Sadatsuka lives up to her name....

No real complaints, but personally I wished they had just stuck to the original. Not quite sure why they ran Souma's father first and skipped the ping pong, they could have covered it all fairly easily by subtracting some of the additions this episode that weren't needed, and indeed should have been put off until the proper place (Megumi's support group). I am sure there was some complex timing/story board reason for it, but I did want to gripe about it once. Anyway, let the fun begin, two best girls coming right up!


Similar to many other anime - the anime directors feel they know the best, when it's clear that ain't so!

Welp, I'm caught up and the prelims are on! Only 8 can qualify....and 2 of those are destined to be Soma and Hayama. Not big on Hayama btw, his training/living/whatever with Shiomi seems kinda cheap to me. Shiomi herself is rather obnoxious btw... I do think that Hojo is great though, smokin' hot but then I'm a sucker for the purple haired girls. :D Aldini slimmed down, and I realized Erina's stalker Nao is an inferior Tomoko from Watamote...design wise anyway. :D So who else will advance? Tough to say...I feel like Alice is a shoe-in, probably Nikumi...and Megumi's gotta have the plot armor right? At least for the prelims I'd think...plus that guest judge underestimated her. Guess we'll see though...:D

The hype is real for episode 21. The series is really starting to make good use of the huge cast. All of them look like real contenders, with only 8 seats to give.

Ahhh man, great episode! Really love the wide cast of characters in this show that were showcased :D Erina getting bored and offering to help out, the relationship of the twins (LOL SKINNY GUY INCOMING XD), Mikumi and the Don RS, everyone going back home, Akira and Jun (especially him wanting to show them off as a "team" :3) ... ahh man, such a great first half :D
Things get real in the second with the prelims underway. So only 4 people from each group gets to go to the main competition ... dang, that's pretty harsh! So I'm betting Souma and Megumi have to go on (of course, main character status) then Akira, maybe Alice or Nao or Miyoko ...? Hmm well it's cool how they showcased everybody's different styles of cooking (except Souma, who's asleep :P). The twins who came to judge as well seem pretty interesting ... their personalities are the opposite of what I expected (so like they switched) XD
Anyway, really looking forward to the next episode and how they end things! I wonder if we'll get through the entire tournament with only 4 more episodes? :O

Yeah... They haven't messed it up too bad, but I was a little confused for a while since I was at the same point in the manga for those episodes.

... Totally caught up in the manga now. Which is why waiting for the next episodes is driving me mad.
I'm not saying Steins;Gate has to be your favourite show. But if you don't like it I'll have to drown you in Dr Pepper.

Sometimes I forget to check back when I post. If you really think I need to hear something it's best to just send me a message.

Oh yeah? Who is it that know better? The watcher who knows nothing about what happens behind the scene? Making anime is hard as hell. I am sure these changes happened for a reason.

The whole episode 20 is totally up to the HYPE! Never a dull moment!
LOL at Itami! usual comedy troupe of the fat getting instantly thin that you won't even recognize the person!
LOL at director gramps! he choked from that whatever smell!
LOL at all the boys yelling "Miyoko-sama" at the same time...Urara was infuriated! lolz!
As usual, the annoying bitch Judge on Group B was looking down again at Megumi...I feel like she'll eat-up her own words for instantly judging Megumi...let's wait and see!
Lol at puompador Don guy! cheering so much for Nikumi like a dad watching his daughter at a sports festival lololoL!
Strongest contender would be Hayama of course...
While everybody is hyped up and cooking...Souma is sleeping... NICE!
10/5.

How about the original author? You think he/she doesn't know what he's doing when laying out the scene sequences?

And since when does it take knowing how to do something in order to critique it? You think watchers don't know how to judge whether they like the change just because they don't know how to make anime?

And so what if it's hard and for a reason? This ain't a world where everyone gets a gold medal for trying. If you want accolades, the results must be better than before, no matter how hard it is.

This was such an awesome episode. Got to see and idea of what each one of the characters are cooking up. The Aldini brother losing all that weight within a month was the highlight of this episode though 😂

The thing that leaves me more satisfied of all, in this episode, is the fact that he had abandoned the secondary characters to a sad and anonymous second floor in the main thread of the story; but he has raised their shape very convincingly. Narratively it is almost impossible to decide who can really win the preliminary round, despite having already preconceptions in mind. Mito now seems to have taken the place of Megumi as in scenes where you show embarrassment, shame that she will be the lucky will win the "bingo". Some gags seemed telegraphed, including that regarded the Aldini and the final reported in Soma, however, bring some hilarity. Good episode that excites a lot my curiosity, but I do not fall into the trap of seeing more than one episode at a time, not to finish too quickly the TV series; then I would not know what to do as souls similar.

Lol at Isami and his weight loss XD.

I wonder what Erina's stalker is cooking up,it doesn't seem appetizing at all.
All the various smells/flavours that the judges and audience are being enveloped ,I can just imagine how delicious it smells.
Souma sure seems to be taking it easy by napping in the middle of their assignment lol.

Yuuki face is cool omg :D


Whoooa! Orie is seducting Isshiki O.o

Souma sleeping lol
Well he's slow cooking something, letting the flavors, fragrance and texture blend well. Plus the competition is 3 hours long. I'd be laughing if he messes up and slips lol. That would be such a disaster for him.

Only 4 advancing per group. Well we know who's not going to advance. It would be huge upset if Hayama didn't make it past prelims.

The episode was interesting, since only few will continue. Too bad no one will be kicked out of the school this time.

I find it really boring how everyone's too interested of Souma, even there's many students with more talent.

Isshiki is so freakin' hot. <3

I'm guessing Isami's fat is made up of 80 water because I'm guessing the summer heat and the the kitchen heat combined makes him sweat away all his fat lol.
Let’s say I posed this question to you: “Can all human souls be bought with money or not?” Now remember, the keyword here is “all”. The answer is “There are times when you can buy them, and other times, not,” right? The human being… sometimes he’ll uphold his pride and conscience even if he’s offered ten billion yen, and other times he’ll murder someone over one yen. ~Izaya Ohira (Durarara)
