WTF did i just watch XD

though as a slight criticism, i cant help but feel like the outcome of this showdown was already spoiled by the OP, although that can happen in the first few episodes (i don't know actually know the outcome scince i haven't read the manga).

I actually ended up skipping megumis section as she's a very boring character to me. But alice's face when her and souma were talking was priceless.

I want Ryo to win so that it's not so predictable. Maybe he can learn in victory too.

Megumi is as annoying as always...
Ryou has more experience than Megumi since he worked as the head cook since a child while she only helped out, and we can guess that Megumi doesn't have more talent than him, otherwise she wouldn't be about to be expelled in the beginning of the whole series, so it would be unfair and seriously annoying if she wins this, because if this anime reaches that point, it wouldn't be about skills or talent, but about her ideals of nakama power and that's just frustrating to watch...

Haha, Ryou is hilarious XD I didn't expect him to be SO loud when he put his bandana on :P Him meeting Alice was awesome too, so he's been in charge of a restaurant since he was little eh? Plus him and Megumi are both from sea towns :O Yum, those seafood ramens look so good ... of course, I expect Megumi to win because of MC power, but we shall see. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised! :O I thought the pacing was better than the first episode as well. Anyway, good on Megumi for keeping calm - she's really changed since S1! We'll see who will win next episode I guess :P I quite like the ED too, well nano.RIPE is always nice to listen to :P

That's also my thoughts. This episodes pacing was better then the first but it still feels like no build up or suspense, even though the cliff hanger is a little suspenseful. I have a question for the manga readers judging from the pacing right now does it look like their just gonna animate this one arc or do you think they will animate another arc and that's why it feels rushed?


i think the reason why is that they are rush becoz there si still one more competition and they will end it there.Since its just oni 12 episode i think it will continue to rush until episode 4 or 5.

I love seeing how Megumi's gotten stronger over the course of this show! You go girl!

Also reeeeaaally would love to try some of that ramen it looks so good (TT^TT)

I still feel like the suspense is lacking though? At least compared to 1st season it doesn't feel as intense.

Megumi was also cool, I'll give her that. But no one can beat Kurokiba. <3

And yes, I think Megumi x Kurokiba would be so cute. <33

Megumi had the spot light for an ep which is awesome. Great to see how much she has grown! Also that ending though. It was totally unexpected by someone who has not read the manga and made me laugh so hard.

I expected better from Megumi's episode but it wasn't bad at all. Well, maybe they could do better work with cuts and ost but the way they turned whole thing into shounen fight was great.

Also, Megumi's voice is somehow.. different. I guess Takahashi Minami get out of it and forgot how to do that right? Anyway, it's certainly not as satisfying and enjoyble as season 1 was so far.

I'm honestly curious as to why people like this anime so much. It not bad but it not good per say. It like a 5.5 or a 6. This it just seems kinda dull with this tournament thing. Can some explain why this anime is good. Is it due to comedy,animation, music, etc. I'm genuinely curious.

Episode 2 : Vol. 9, Ch. 67-71

Ep. 2 : Alice is so childish. She's so adorable. HAHA. She just doesn't care if everybody sees her just crying and throwing a tantrum on the ground. NOW WE GET TO SEE OUR BABY FIGHT. Tadakoro against Ryou. WHOO!`` The theme is ramen. So, the themes for the different rounds aren't going to be the same. This is interesting. I'll always be wondering what the other characters will be doing for each of the rounds. Ryou made his decision on what kind of noodles pretty quickly. he must be really fast at decision making.

HAHAHA. I forgot her name but the pigtail girl from Polar Star has a huge fan. I'm always wondering if those sorts of people know that they're blocking the view of the people behind them. Awwww. Takumi is sitting next to Souma. I'd want to sit right next to all of the main characters. HAHA. Ryou is such a mad dog when it comes to that bandana. So gangsta.
Awww. Alice joins in the group with their fans. She tells the group that Ryou was also a person who grew up by the sea. Both Ryou and Tadakoro are going to be making seafood ramen.

Mannn. Ryou has a head chef. He's been one since very young. The dish that he made for the judges has something that he made from crushed shells. Hmmm... You can eat the shells. That's interesting. Yukihira watches over Tadakoro like he had taught her how to grow. HAHA. BAHAHAHA. OMGGG. When they showed Ryou "fighting" Senzaemon I totally thought of JOJO and now that they have Megumi's food and she's all thug, I SEE IT. THE STAND. HAHAA. JOJO REFERENCEEE. They're even doing the poses AND THE YELLING! OMG.

You know. Normally I don't like characters that are pretty timid but I really like Tadakoro. She isn't completely helpless. The more that Yukihira watches the others cook, the more he finds out about their specialties and then will probably use their specialties against them when he goes up against them. BAHAHHAA. THE ANIME VErSION OF THEM FIGHTING IS SO GREAT.

omggg. that ending theme. my heart. YES. I AM SO HYPED. BUT IT"S TWO IN THE MORNING AND ---UGH. WHATEVER.

The beginning was pretty funny when Souma and Erina were making fun of Alice after she lost to Souma haha.

What a cooking fight. So the theme was about to cook Ramen which is one of the most famous dishes in japan. We saw something of the past of Ryou and how he met Alice for the first. Crazy that he was the chef of an restaurante as a little kid. No wonder that he's so good.

I liked that Megumi was super calm all the time. If you think back in the first season how nervou she often was. With that she made a big step forward :)

The Megumi fanclub was cute haha. All her friends were rooting for her "Megumi we love you" :D

So Ryou made a very strong soup of seafood. Megumi made a more delicate soup which had for the surprise of everyone also a very strong taste.

It's funny how Ryous character changed by 180° if he's wearing the bandana.
The director was naked again xD and now there will be the decision who wins. From the reaction of the jury it's really hard to say who will win.

PS: These JoJo references were killing me xD
