| Jc's currently doing their job like A1, ultra rush well i know Souma'll win no matter what, but not the conclusion that makes anime/film fun, it's the Journey/Process, and they skipped it. It's top 8 (quarter final) but they compressed it like it's just a qualifier match,why not keep the formula from 1st season, to makes it atleast 1 1/2 episode or full 2 episodes. They should do this like IG did Haikyuu!, we knew no matter what Karasuno'll win the championship, but they made their journey towards that goal almost flawless,full of energy, hype,etc |
| Well, that was really bad. 1/5. |

Read the manga again, those 5 chapters are mostly bloated with Wall of Text and wide shots. The only omitted chapters (rendered as flashbacks) is chapter 63 and the first pages of chapter 64 showing how dominating Alice is in Totsuki which doesn't affect the match at all except cementing her Personality, which was shown in the Breakfast Buffet last season. Besides that, nothing from the match itself was omitted. Tension? the Manga chapters had barely none for Souma vs Alice. Remember that JC staff only has 13 episodes (There are multiple variables that affects this, so it's useless to debate on it) Using the old formula for the quarter finals means they're going to waste 8 episodes just to get through that. Meaning 5 left to fit in the semis, the final and the stagiare arc All we can do is hope that JC Staff adapts it as faithful as possible, and the 1st episode of the 2nd season, was actually a good adaptation despite compromising on some scenes. |

| Good episode, we got to see more of Alice. That foodgasm! And Souma totally deserved it! |

Just like Jeremy (CinemaSins) said : we dont care about the source. We only care about sh*t that they're presenting right now. in my mind like this : they gave us a sh*t ton of tensions during not so important matches, so i'd think like this ' oh Souma currenly gonna fight the strongest (arguably) contestant in the entire tournament, so they gonna give their best to makes that episode(s) feels cinematic as usual (or more)'. Sometimes stay too faithfull to source doesn't give you advantage, if the source doesn't deliver, you're gonna f*cked up too. |
| 13 EPISODES WHY?? This episode seems rushed a bit. I can see why. I expected VS Alice will take at least 2 episodes. Welp, as long as quality doesn't drop, I'm okay. Don't disappoint me now, J.C.! |
 |
| At first I decided to let this finish airing and then just marathon it after. But fuck it, I watched this episode and it was so awesome. Been too damn long for this second season to start airing. Guess I'm waiting weekly now. When I saw the 5 male judges I was like damn I don't wanna see these guys cum. Good thing they decided to show some female orgasmic reactions. But seriously I lold when the other 4 judges danced around like a ballerina |
 |
| In general while I can agree its noticably rushed, i can't agree with no tension. Or no drama. I felt plenty here, and having her grandpa break down why it wasn't working for her was amazing, and as usual the food provides an emotional climax. Even if it kind of sped through stuff it had the same feeling as like... Every other shokugeki, I think the adaption is fine so far. :X |
| Another foodgasm! :o I wonder which arc this season will end... |
| woot woot Alice is back! Well she lost but honestly the writers couldn't make the MC lose first episode so I ain't even mad |

Most people seem to believe we will reach the Stagiaire arc but with only 13 episodes I can't really see how they could do that |

My hope is they'll just do the first part of the arc and end at the beginning of the second. For now I have faith in JC staff that they will do it as good as they can with the 13 ep's they have. Lets hope! |
| It's finally here again!!! I missed this anime so much, and I am glad that it's getting second season so quickly. Episode was standardly good for this show, and I had a big smile over my face during the whole episode watching again Soma and the rest of the crew animated. So, I liked this episode, but I just hope that they won't skip too much content later in the season like they skipped part with children in this episode. Of course, they did that because they wanted an interesting and intense first episode, not a little bit too SoL episode. At least, they mentioned that. :D 5/5 |
  |
| For not seeing this series for a while now, I loved being thrown right back into the action. Watching Souma completely (pun intended) serve his culinary foes is always awesome, so the fast pace pulled me right in again. I can't wait to see what'll happen next week. I haven't read the manga, but I hope the fast pace doesn't take itself too far. It'd be a shame if they washed over any more parts of it, like they apparently did with the children's scene. That woulda been a cute thing to see ;-; Oh well. |
  |
| Oh wow, that's not how I thought this episode would turn out. Considering the pacing, I wouldn't be surprised at all if they managed to complete the whole Autumn Elections in this season. Great adaptation. Looking forward to seeing more of the foodgams. Also, the Erina x Soma ship should already sail ;) 5/5 |

| I love how intensity reigned in the first ep of this season. Souma is cool as usual. |
  |
| This was an anime episode? it feelt more like an OVA. I hate the pacing. We started directly in action like it was ep 25 from season 1... is been a fricking year since it ended for God sake... What i hate the most is that the fact that Souma defeated Alice was a pretty big deal, but this episode didn't make it like that. Alice is one of the most promising and talented first year student, but in this episode it was like she was some unimportant side character. All her tehnics of micro-gastronomy where cut out of the content too, so her dish seemed like totally unimportant. She was a difficult adversary, and Souma had a lot to think and come with a plan, that why the travel to the school that for some reason he mentioned (like WTF?! Why do you even mention content that was cut off from the original story?), was important because it helped him to come up with the plan agaist her. Do to the rushed pace I feelt no hype, no epicness, no suspense, nothing like in the first season... just peoples cooking and older peoples screaming and making weird noises as reaction. I am biased obviously, because I am talking about my favorite ongoing manga, but even if I didn't loved the manga so much, I still would fell bad with this adaptation. This is the most important battle, it had Souma, aka the MC in the center, so if they wanted they could had cutt of from Aldini, Hisako, Megumi and others match (trough, they obviously did it there too), and let enought space for this one. Why do studios try rush or butcher anime when they don't have enought money? It would had been so bad to simply adapt just this arc, and let what is next for a potential 3rd season or end it there? it was the best arc to the point anyway... Damn it, other than Shaft and KyoAni no other studio seem to be be trustworthy. Score for this episode: 3/10 |

Possible though, with a split-cour perhaps... |

| I think Alice's breasts are even bigger this season. I like Alice. She's arrogant, but nowhere near as stuck-up and arrogant as Erina. Can't wait to see more of Nikumi and Megumi. All the girls are so good-looking in this series. |
| Wow... this chapter was just... so bad. The pace is unbearable. 2/5. And I think I'm being generous. |

| Anime was a mistake. Heil Manga. |
| where dem Souma x Ryouko moments at? |
 |
| Very intese first episode. It was rushed, but it's not like they missed anything too important I'm perfectly fine with skipping the part with the little kids and all Though I personally would have preferred the first few minutes to be more of a build up instead of just rushing right into the match. It was still awesome though! I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the Autumn Election. |
 |
| Dang, what does JC Staff have against Megumi? First the Ping-Pong scene and now the scene where she takes care of the children with Souma? (Pretty important scene for them to skip in my opinion cause Souma starts to see that "cooking from your heart" is the key to cooking like Souma's dad is trying to tell him) Overall decent ep for me. Felt rushed to me too. 2nd season OP doesn't beat 1st season's though |
| Seriously happy that the anime is back on..... But WTF is going on with this pacing? The entire episode felt like freaking rushed shit, this is not the Shokugeki that was good in S1. WTF is this animation studio doing or trying to do, ffs. The entire episode felt lackluster and there was never a moment that was exciting or had even an ounce of the greatness some of the episodes of S1 had. |
  |
| Amazes me that Iron Chef ended over 15 years ago. This anime's popularity also amazes me! Perhaps I am easily amazed... but with an exhale, glad this show still kicks ass. The face off formula of Iron Chef is what sparked my interest in the show, but the presentation of culinary research/prep/payoff just put it way over the top. I do wish it was another longer run of eps - but hoping each installment fulfills the arc successfully without missing out on the friendships between characters. |
InvisibleSenpai said: kaitonic said: I don't think they will animate the festival on this season.Most likely it will end with stagiaire arc.I think the tournament will ends at episode 9 may be... As far as I remember stagiare arc was after the festival Nope It was after when the elite 10 members was revealed |
| Damn that was a pretty solid first episode tho it did feel like it went by a little too fast. I hope they aren't going to pulling the same pace for the rest of the episodes |
 |
| Rip Megumi in Next Episode (and yeah I don't read the manga) |
Shirobako is AOTY 2015. Deal with it. |
| Felt like it was a bit rushed at some parts, but really interesting episode nonetheless. I'm glad it's back! Looking forward to more Megumi, and other favs of mine I feel like Megumi is gonna lose, 'cause that other guy seems like he's gonna challenge Souma (judging from the OP) Well, as long as she does her best, I'll be satisfied |
 |
| I hate it when anime adaptations get rushed like this. Twas still a decent first episode, with plenty of food porn :o |
| I'm the only one to think this episode is actually well directed? I'll wait next episode to express myself in a more definitive way. |
| What I loved: Great animation and art! Man, I can't believe how PRETTY this show is :P The ED was pretty energetic and fun as well. One thing I didn't like was how fast the pacing was ... I mean one round was over in the first episode already?! Feels rushed to me. I guess since it's only 1-cour they have to make it speedy :( I was SO excited to see Alice up, I can't help but love her, and I was actually kinda hoping she would win but nope T_T To be honest I was hoping that Souma would actually get kicked out early, but I guess it wouldn't be a shounen anime if that were to happen ... also, did we ever find out who the 8th member is?! :O He/she was hidden in the opening part as well ... I guess we'll have to wait and find out :P Megumi up next against Ryu? Sorry Megumi, I'm gonna have to cheer for Ryu even though I doubt he will win ... MC power OP >_< |
| They were not wasting any time in this one huh? |
| My Guitar Covers: Playlist I CAN ALWAYS SHOW MY EVERYTHING TO YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUU |
| Glad its back. Dislike the fast pacing though |
| Tasty! Man it feels so weird to watch show of which manga i have already read.. im in such situation for the first time. So many reactions.. If every episode will have so much of them , half of the show will be just reactions. Animators should feel awesome while animating them xd. and ahh just noticed it will have 13 episodes.. So it's most likely just the Autumn Elections.. |
| the greatness, the shit is back ladies and gentelman!!!!!!! food wars is here........... lol i'm late to say all of that xD overall, great first episode even tho it's kinda fast xD they just cut to the case without any bullshit; to another tournament xD looking foward for the next episode. |
 |
| Phew, they really dug in without delay. Great first episode, reminds me why I love watching this show. Especially liked the part where Alice remembers her childhood and is offered Yukihira's bento in the cold. Ah but there's no doubt Yukihira would win. Although Megumi's match up is brutal, but I'm still rootin' for her. |
 |
| Alice : "Grandfather! When'd he get bare-chested?!" Good to know that you'll have a better chance at winning once he starts stripping xD Great first episode, a little rushed but it's to be expected considering it's only 13 episodes this time. The OP is ok I guess, I never been a big fan of the openings for Shokugeki (from the music to the visuals) The ED is what I'm personally waiting for. That Alice foodgasm though :p |
 |
| I missed this anime so much! What a great start. Missed so much those "food orgasm" parts xD And those flashbacks, where Shouma's food take them back to their childhood. Can't wait for 2nd episode! |
