| The op shows that we are covering an insane amount of material. All the way up to the current stuff? I have never been an Erina fan but I really liked her in that last scene. The chicken Soma’s were hilarious. |

ZBlastHistory said: From the OP i think its going to cover up to bear meat dish because this is second half of s3 so yeah.. another 12 ep. The op features a lot of stuff from the Régiment de Cuisine. |
|
| Oh yeah! Food Wars is back! =D This was a really solid first episode to get the ball rolling for the second cour. Soma is, of course, at its best with his Chicken Tempura dish that gave Erina an amusing foodgasm. The little Yukihira chicks made me laugh. XD Other good humour moments was Tsukasa's nerves on T.V, Hisako going crazy when she couldn't find her "precious" Erina and Soma's many amusing expression during his chat with Erina in his room. Not to forget, Erina's rally call to the rest of the dorm members was epic too. Soundtrack was on point, the new OP song is pretty good and the ED song is VERY hype. I'm so looking forward to seeing this arc arc adapted to where I am with the manga right now. =D |
| I was there ion the edge of my seat waiting all day to see when this would be available. took some time to get there. I usually skip the OP as there are always spoilers in it. I usually watch it at the end of the season. As for the ep I was pleased with it; it continued on where the other left off. Only thing I would have done different would have been a scene between Erina and Souma where should would have said you as Jouichiro's son. ! But as I have not read the manga well it could be there and maybe not. Loved how we got some of the back story with Jouichiro and Erina. I have been waiting to get more info on that since season 2. Now if we could only get info as to why Johichiro came before the Autumn election I would be happy. No spoilers please . waiting to see if its in the anime or else I will catch up in the manga. as usual I can't wait to see the next ep. |

| I forgot how much fun i have with this series in the short hiatus between seasons, art seems significantly more on point than last cour too. Erina's character development is probably the best addition to the show thus far, her and souma butting heads(or more like her one sided butting head) was always entertaining to me but something about their dynamic now is just way more entertaining and kind of heartwarming whilst still being funny. Granted im a sucker for characters that start off disliking the other but eventually warm up as long as its not too fast, and I like that generally the justification for erina isnt that shes just warming up to souma its more she as a whole was acting wrongly most the series not just to him. Its smart on the show cause it doesnt just sweet erina's attitude under the rug and its also not doing it at such a fast pace that shes just suddenly different. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Erina-sama is miracle of the universe :'( The opening implies they will fly through the manga all the way to the current chapters. |
 |
| Erina be lyke "I'm ready to please you tonight" |
| Was hoping Taneda would voice Erina but not much of a problem I guess, Kanemoto still doing good! That loli Erina HNNNNNGGGGG Those goddamn Souma chicks! ERINA SENSEI HYPEHYPE!!!! |
 |
| Pacing and animation has NOTICEABLY improved from the last season and lets not forget the OP and ED, fabulous as always. Splitting the cour was an excellent idea since it fixed a lot of the problems from last time. Hoping it keeps up and continues to amaze me ;) |
 |
| well it was a good ep but nothing special |
| Signature removed. Please have a positive iq. |
could anybody answer my question? thanks :) |
 |
If I'm not wrong it's young Jōichirō Yukihira :) |

Where you get that idea from? my profile? Did you at least check the chapter I read up to? I stopped reading because I want to be surprised by the anime with the color, music, voice instead of the plain black/white on paper. There always new idea on cooking that common people never thought of, and the creator are probably researching around Japan since the food there is getting more diverse in reality. As for MHA, Food way always surprised me with food representation. This series gave me the motivation to cook home than eat out. |
 |
| OP and ED is good but it also has significance behind it. In the OP its shows the upcoming battle between Souma V/S Akira and Polar Star Dormitory V/S Central/Elite 10. In the ED its shows that Souma is almost caught upto Erina and he has already surpassed Joichiro when he was Souma's age. |
Yes it is. Hoping they animate that part this season |
| Great start, finally Erina is back to her usual self (not that I disliked her otherwise). I just wonder how they plan to pass those exams if they have to go strictly by Azami's rules to pass them. Good developement, anyway. |
| I wasn't expecting much so this was surprisingly good. The animation & visual quality was great (the last season had serious issues on that front). The OP is pretty nice, the ED is alright and thankfully no nano.RIPE this time. Looking forward to seeing the parents' generation in their school days. |
OG_Gattsu said: YOOOOO, Erina’s character development!! 🔥💯 Seeing Erina’s growth, I now have conflicted feelings as to whether Megumi’s still best girl, but actually Erina 😞 I feel. My heart wants Megumi x Souma to sail because they are so adorable together, the way they support one another. SOOO ADORABLE. But my mind and the past few OP and ED animations are telling me best girl is obviously Erina. The signs are clear. In love triangles, nice girls from the beginning always get friend-zoned it's a an unavoidable trope ;__; On a side note, this episode was actually really nice in terms of pacing. Everything was executed very clearly and it was nice to see the character development for Erina. Her character annoyed me a lot, and I'm glad she'll actually listen to what people have to tell her and can empathize with others now...which makes her appearances on screen easier to bear. Souma though is a full on idiot there will not be any development in terms of relationships for this man which is fine since he is very passionate about his cooking. In the end though, I feel bad for whatever girl ends up with this dude LOL the question in the end will be who can actually accompany this guy for life. |
| Not bad, not bad. Can't wait to see how this starts to get wrapped up with this arc and the extent of the elite ten. Production is still a little weak but it looks good where it counts so I'm not gonna complain too much. |
 |
| Really good first ep IMO. Seeing Erina be inspired by Soma's cooking was heartwarming. And that speech. Try hard or leave. |
  Katsura janai, Zura da |
| The first part of the episode was way too fast for me but seems they found a balance in the second part. I hope the pace for this season is slowed down a little. Nice to see Erina standing up for herself and pushing the others forward. It would be nice if Souma could step aside for everyone else to shine but I doubt that will happen... And as always, I can count on this to make me hungry haha |
| Baby, daijobanai... |
xkazutox said: You realize by comparing everything to hero academia as a way of elevating the show your contrasting to it, you just end up making hero academia the gold standard and give it far more presence than the fans do.NOW THIS IS ANIME TO BE HYPED ABOUT. More creative than that MHA which I don't understand the hyped from it. Let shokugeki stand on its own merits without the pointless contrast to a series that has almost nothing in common other than being in the same magazine and age group, especially when the series is like right behind a pretty infamous stretch of the manga that has led to it tanking in weekly rankings which it has yet to survive, these kind of dick measuring comparisons just end up backfiring hard when the show you put on a pedestal reaches a rough patch. |

| The OP and ED are really bland, where did all that Shokugeki flare go? That said, the episode was great way to start the season. Paved way for the season's plot? Check. Screen-time for all the characters? Check. 900 IQ cooking followed by absurd food-gasm? Check. Should be a fun ride! |

| Fuck that god tongue bullshit, just get married already |
| Damn Erina... with that kind of cloth she's literally asking Soma to do it. |
dunkan85 said: *haaaah* Here we go once more. Ironically for an anime about food, this has become quite stale over time for me. It's still a decent anime, don't get me wrong, but I feel like we're increasingly just painting by the numbers here. Certainly doesn't help that (I'm assuming) the focus this season will shift more towards Erina... she's always been one of my least favorite characters in the entire anime :| O well, this week's dish was, as usual, pretty nice and actually somewhat cleverly made. Hopefully this arc is gonna be better than I feel it will be. Yeah I second this, and the comment another poster made about this arc feeling pretty lame. The last event I was really hyped for in SNS was the Chinese dish at the festival which I really enjoyed. This arc just seems very lacklustre and a real yawn, I get its a way to get Erina onside but then I preferred it when the two were antagonists. Weirdly instead of upping the ante and getting me more invested, the shadowy corporate masterminds are pretty dull. I hope this arc gets better but I wonder if it will, I haven't read the manga - and this forum is SUPPOSED to be for the anime only not discussion of the manga - however it seems there's a lot of discussion over the arc so I'm willing to bet its a problematic one. |

I think this one of those stories were the last panel will be with all the friends cooking together and no romantic conclusion. |

| The adaptation of what is possibly my favorite manga chapter. And this did not disappoint. |
| You have shit taste, and then I have taste so shit it makes your taste look good |
| 8.73 ?! The 1st episode of this season was not even good. |
| Beautiful. Wonderful. Perfect. A phenomenal way to start the new season. After all this time, Erina has been a character that's been hard to like, but now that we get to understand what it was like for her as a child, she's much more likable. This episode conveyed perfectly why Erina's father's way of cooking is wrong, it was wonderfully illustrated through Soma's cooking. Still wondering why this is called "Food Wars" when it should be called "Soma gets the Ladies Wet". Still so happy this is back. |
| The op and ed are decent but not as good as season 2 seriously I miss those times. It was a pretty decent episode full focus on Erina though it was really needed though. |
