| Lol Souma's such a troll :D |
| Watching every single episode of this anime makes me hungry lol |
| An excellent episode, probably because of the build-up episode before, and because of how deep Mito's foodgasm was, involving her backstory and memories. Was also good to learn about the umami taste group, had never heard of it before. |
 |
| You haters should just watch "Cooking Master Boy" if you hate ecchi. LOL. Getta of here!!! |

Never expected they put in this side chapter in the anime: Or at least the first part. It was a pleasant surprise though. :) |

Isterio said: Z4k said: I don't get what you're trying to say here. Are you implying this show is mediocre because of the fanservice? No I rather meant something around the lines of this! Regarding the mediocrety, it´s my opinion towards the whole hype of the show. I think it´s just an enjoyable Harem with neat humor that goes from bad to good and entertaining cooking showdowns. The story isn´t that compelling and the characters not too original. I actually see in Souma Luffy and Naruto while Erina is your typical Tsundere, Megumi is just another Hinata, with more screentime. Luffy, Naruto and Hinata aren't exactly original either so I don't see how that's a bad thing and Erina isn't a "typical tsundere" lol. I also don't see how this is a harem anime. Just because the characters are blushing it doesn't mean they're in love with the Souma. |

Been watching Cooking Master Boy, and while the reactions are retarded there as well, it's certainly a hundred times better than this shit. Then drop this shit. LOL You only make yourself look stupid in denial. |

| Urara made her debut <3, though her appearances are rare... |
| What a tsun haha Nikumi best grill |
Isterio said: It´s more than a generic Harem because it mixes the traits of a battle shounen, but it´s still nothing more than a harem/battle shounen mixture. Like I earlier said, just because the characters blush it doesn't mean they're in love with the Souma. This isn't a harem and neither is this generic. Isterio said: Ive read the entirety of Ranma 1/2 and have to say I enjoyed this show way more. It always was a generic harem/battle shounen combination, but it never tried to be more. Also the humor had way more quality. Ohohho that´s so funny he makes silly buttsounds, the jokes are just immature. The times I really laughed at Food wars are yet to come in the Anime and it was when the author didn´t actually try to be funny but rather give a unique note to a character. That French cooking guy, I don´t know his name, whenever he does his magical girl cooking giving dudes Sailor Moon outfits I fall from my chair.That´s funny, you catch your viewer off guard. Again what's your point? Ranma 1/2 is a "comedy" anime so it's supposed to make you laugh. Shokugeki no Souma doesn't have comedy as one of its genre so its not supposed to make you laugh and its not one of its main focus. Isterio said: But asswobbling jokes are even cheaper than fart jokes. Oh no he shakes his naked ass, how silly. Really that´s humor today? It doesn´t even add innocence to the show because of the fanservice the show is far from that. Decide what you wanna do, make dirty jokes and pull through or be innocent and leave the fanservice our. Don´t direct half of the show to teens and the other half to 7 year olds. Something that would make one laugh would make the other frowning in disgust. Humor is subjective but that's not even one of this show's main focus so why are you making a big issue out of this? |
Isterio said: I feel you completely missed the point, it's not the wobbling that is funny, it's the nakedness, because of how improbable a quasi-nudist would be in Japanese society. The wobbling is just here to add concrete emphasis on the nakedness. Improbable humour appeals to all age classes. But asswobbling jokes are even cheaper than fart jokes. Oh no he shakes his naked ass, how silly. Really that´s humor today? It doesn´t even add innocence to the show because of the fanservice the show is far from that. Decide what you wanna do, make dirty jokes and pull through or be innocent and leave the fanservice out. Don´t direct half of the show to teens and the other half to 7 year olds. But that said, since it's an ecchi show, of course they'll use every opportunity to do some male fanservice, to balance out the over-abundant female fanservice. |
|
| Another excellent episode, I'm satisfied, for now it's a nearly perfect adaptation, good job J.C.Staff! |
Isterio said: You really don't: as I was saying, the improbable humour (like seeing a giant banana fall from the sky), is universal, and isn't age or gender-related. Imo it´s missing the whole nature of the show. If you show one momment a half naked girl trembling at the deliciousness of a meal and in the next you are making asswobbling jokes you combine 2 demographics. And for the sake of the argument, let's suppose you're right, even then the shounen demographic is quite wide, so your interpretation would still be incorrect even then. Especially when you think how immature Japanese humour is in general, and how their favorite humoristic device is repetition in particular (just watch any variety show to be convinced). |

Isterio said: This isn't about which is more true, it's about how the humour in Shokugeki no Souma is aimed at one demographic. What you just said is irrelevant to what we are discussing.It´s true that japanese humor is quite often immature, but it´s also weird and sadistic at other times, we could sit here and debate which is more true and never get a conclusion. Just keep in mind the japanese do use very childish humor for shows like One Piece, but they also create the most brutal and scary horror movies worldwide. |

| Great episode!! Cheap Meat > A5 Grade Meat :D |
  |
| Brilliant episode! The first Shokugeki on a grand scale for Souma was fantastic to say the least. Nikumi's close up shots were...yeah. But damn, the meat look DELISH as fuck, I'd LOVE to have all that meat in my mouth for sure. x) Anwyays, really fun episode, especially at the end. Can't wait for the next one. |
 |
| This was a pretty good introduction to the Shokugeki. Nikumi was impressive, but essentially she knew nothing about the art of Dons. It was quite fun to watch. The way they animated the meat cooking was visually beautiful but seriously harsh on the stomach (I didn't have any food with me....). Next up is the Aldini brothers. I can't wait. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| The bra scene at the start is actually a part of 4 koma in the comic volumes. Hahaha. I like the fiery flame bra... just like Yoko from TTGL. And as usual Souma being a troll. Cant wait for the next arc. This is where it gets good. ^_^ |

| Ikumi lost because of dependence on the meat alone :O Hey I can actually make Soma's dish XD Time to open up my own restaurant :) rayeine said: zat-bust said: I still can't believe they have to use their own ingredients, that defeats the whole purpose of a fair competition or how the judges are also biased when it comes to the ingredients, even mocking Souma before they taste his food. I never understood that either but Yukimura kicked ass ofc. They just explained that last episode :( :( :( Being a chef means supplying your own ingredients and that means good connections with food suppliers and farmers, you think just any ingredient is good enough to go to high class restaurants? |
 |
| Probably best episode yet! |
| omg.. I lol'd so hard when Soma didn't join Don's club.. |
 If Evangelion were Rokka no Yuusha the seventh would be Shinji. |
| Well that was a really fun episode. xD |
| You don't eat premium grade meat with sides like that... |
| This show has just the perfect timing! Every episode keeps you on edge and there aren't any stupid cliffhangers. |
| (|__/) Never give up, aim for the top! (='.'=) Top wo nerae! o(")(") Anime music: http://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=777199 |
Stormen said: Imeon said: Then drop this shit. LOL You only make yourself look stupid in denial. I just finished the last episode and commented right after. Call me what you'd like, at least i'm not the one defending this dumb ass anime where eating raw onions (i guess i need to spell out that this is an exaggeration, and the point is that the foodgasms often come from the most basic and relatively tasteless foods) would strip the clothes of people in foodgasms. So much dumb shit it's actually funny. Point is the ecchi is the only really bad thing about this, and the competition could be harder ofc, and the story a bit deeper. But it's still an ok watch in it's own way. It's funny since later in the manga, the ecchi almost disappear to let better foodgasm without any stripping and there will be a lot of competition too, Souma isn't as strong as you think he is, they just haven't introduced some other strong cook yet. |
| Both of the food looked so delish. Even so, Souma was the triumphant in that shokugeki. Don food has to taste better in everything inside the bowl after all. In the end he wasn't even a member after all! The way it went was so hilarious! LOL! I felt a little sorry there for Nikumi. |
| Great episode after a good buildup in the last episode. I found the commentator was hilarious, have an inner self and shit.. XD XD As for the food wars.. That's a good one.. For the people who think souma will lose, come on, if souma lose he will get expelled.. Ofc he's gonna win this.. It's his first food wars after all.. But i do hope in the later of the story there's a better chef who can beat souma in food wars.. The art is still an excellent ones.. Made me hungry with these whole meat related foods in this episode, lol.. Overall an entertaining ones, can't wait to see it again next week.. 5/5 |
Reality is the lifeblood that makes a work pulse with energy. Reality itself is entertainment  |
| LoL! The "Foodgasms" still ongoing, love the impression... It was great! can't wait for next episode :D |
MgMaster said: Such a meaty episode, I just couldn't get enough. I'm a bit disappointed that Nikumi's foodgasm seemed rather toned down though :( Yeah, but i hope |
 |
| I watch this for the food. My god, the food looks delicious. Never will I be able to produce something like these dishes... |
| Lol Yukihira Soma slaying women and winning Shokugeki with cheap meats like a true Don cook. |
 |
| The meat master has mastered my meat, indeed. I agree that everything about this show screams "conventional shounen." Even the cooking scenes are executed in a way to make them look either like a traditional shounen training scene or a traditional shounen battle scene. The cooking setting puts a new spin on it and makes it fun, but that alone is hardly enough to make it "unique." It's a good show, I'm digging it, but anybody trying to say it isn't conventional is just lying to themselves because the setting is the only remotely "different" thing about the series. |

| Hmmm predictable results here, so nothing to be surprised about. :) Souma kicking Nikumi's butt with half-price meat, how about that?! Interesting development at the end! Nikumi actually fall in love with Souma?! SHHHIIIIIIPPPPP!! |
 |
| Fun episode. It's probably gonna devolve into a harem at the rate it's going, but it'll at least still be fun. |
| Isn't the point of don for it to be affordable? Why did Nikumi splurge on excessively priced ingredients just for the sake of it being a good dish? Don't any of these pretentious characters know anything other than luxury cuisine, or are they just snobs? |
| Why do people have such bad taste? Anime isn't subjective anymore. |
| Loved how the judges of the Shokugeki almost immediately devoured Soma's don when it was presented to them.. Soma is just THAT good. Nikumi has developed a crush on Soma, only to find out that he isn't joining Don RS. XD Great episode :D |
| Its pretty obvious souma will win. Its how he wins is why i like this show. |
"I have been wielding a blade since before your were swimming around your father's scrotum." - Kurou |
| It was an enjoyable episode, no doubt. Still can't get over how overly-shounen it felt, though. Leave the obvious fact that Soma was going to win aside, but then there's the typical weakness of the enemy that he/she refuses to accept, and lastly the female falling for him, which was too much. Lmao, the brief and extremely generic backstory of Nikumi was just funny. Ehh... I still like her. 3.5/5 |
