Greta ep, I really love these adventures outside of the shokugekis. After watching this, I like Hisako a lot more too.

So Souma's solution basically reduces the restaurant's profits by a mile. I guess if the owner is down with it purely for the sentimentality or for his passion in cooking it makes sense. Or maybe he wants for it to become a prestigious restaurant rather than having to worry about time.

Edit: Never mind, Souma simply suggested this, it was the owner who took the decision so it's obvious he wanted to bring back the old school Napolitan, and focus on quality and tradition.

I don't remember how many chapters they animate this episode but it was a good pace.
I finally get to see that arc animate and i come to like Hisako after this arc :)
Next 2 episodes will be great with Shinomiya reappearing.

Maybe it's just me, but did anyone else notice that animation and art quality has dropped in this new episode? Some character frames looked like they were drawn inconsistently.

After all the intensity of the Autumn Elections, it was really nice to cool down and see some interactions between characters we normally don't see together. Poor Megumi, being paired with Erina lol. Their personalities are complete opposites. I liked seeing Souma help Hisako with her problems, which in turn helped his resolve to improve himself. I'm assuming Souma is going to be at Shinomiya's restaurant next? That should be interesting.

Yeah, and I also noticed a lot of those comedic chibi faces in this episode. Probably the most out of all the previous episodes combined.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

This was probably the best episode in this series!
I laughed and I was moved at some moments.
I loved their ideas and how they made the plot go a double course with Souma-Hisako, Erina-Megumi.
Both Souma and Erina helped their rivals best friends! Soo nice :)))

That Hisako blush!

I'm glad she's getting some spotlight this episode including with Souma helping her. Poor Megumi though this episode lol, she got all scared a few times. I kinda like the relationship development between Megumi and Erina though. As expected, Souma is still keeping up in shape with his cooking abilities.

Hisako looks cute with glasses imo
Yeah, I don't know why, but she just looked really cute in glasses!

Finally, we got some more screentime from Hisako, one of my fav character. she looks fit pretty well with soma but when i saw soma, i don't think so xD

overall it was a great episode cause, not only this episode was talking about the food (heck, they didn't talk about food that much in this episode) but rather they were talking about business in the food world. and i really like the fact that the test is not about the subject becoming a chef in a certain restourant for experience, but it's more into "how the subject improve the restourant from where it is right now into something more better" i really like that a lot tbh. And obvious soma play a big role in that test. cause he already experienced that kind of things from he was still a brat.

so now, they moved to another place. and god dang it the magician will be back again. shit is getting more real xD

and i really like to see Hisako and Soma working together in this episode. makes me want to ship them (even tho it will not happen) and really rare to see Megumi working together with Nakiri.

and one more, Hisako looks so cute and cool when she's wearing a glasses!!!!!!!!! guess i didn't choose the wrong character as my fav character. Glasses girl FTW!!!

looking foward to the next episode.

I'm still bummed that their really deciding to rush the stagiare arc, but I'm happy the pacing isn't that bad. They better not screw up the next episode though, Souma gets some major character development there.

I doubt the restaurant was making much money anyway if they couldn't even serve half of their customers. When you're working in a restaurant and you can't serve you're food fast enough and they just go up and left, that destroys a restaurant's reputation. The only reason their restaurant hasn't gone bankrupt is because its been around for generations and for the small portion of people that did get their food enjoy the meal.

Hisako blushing and with glasses was great!

Erina with Megumi, didn't see that coming, was interesting though.
How dare ye doubt Erina-sama lowly chef?!!!
Erina carried Megumi pretty hard, although she did contribute a bit too.
That Erina rage was cute ^^

Was funny how Hisako was feeling depressed at the mention of Erina and vice versa xD
I really enjoyed Souma's and Arato's interactions especially Hisako's smile at the end <3

Shinomiya at the end, this should be interesting.

I liked Hisako's interactions with Souma and the ending with Souma comparing Hisako's situation with his own one was a very good way of showing how Souma is now starting to think in create his own path rather than follow the one of his father, who was also hinted with the owner of the restaurant he and Hisako visited this episode when Souma ask him what restaurant he is trying to create.

I didn't liked Hisako at all at first, but this episode redeemed her giving her more characterization than being just Erina's personal Smithers. Good move of the author.
And speaking about Erina, I know they tried to show the owner of the restaurant that she and Megumi helped was really inferior compared to her and that, but she pissed me in that scene. I totally felt the bearded guy in those parts.

And in the next episode Shinomiya reappears... who is not that surprising because the opening and the ending hinted he would have a role in the season. Doesn't matters, I'm ready to see him again. He is one of my fav characters after all.

Great start to the Stagiaire Arc.

Nice to see more of Hisako & development of her character in this episode.
Souma just too good in the restaurant. Really liked how they needed to change in order to keep moving forward.

Erina just taking over the kitchen. Megumi also offering input which was great to see.
Lovely Smile from Hisako.

Shinomiya at the end. Cannot wait.

You could make a solid case for 3 people. Erina is tsundere but she obviously likes Souma. So that makes Megumi, Nikumi, and Erina for his harem.
Around and around the cycle goes.

Megumi is confirmed to be just admiration.
With "two girls" i was referring to Ikumi and Kurase. Erina is warming up in the current arc but i don't think that is love yet.

Great episode. I always enjoy more development of characters I care about and Hisako was always interesting enough. Nice to see her come out of her shell (turtle killing reference on purpose) with the help of Yukihira who always seems to make these girls less bitchy.

I also liked seeing how the other characters were handling their workplace's and Megumi unfortunately, was exactly how I expected



PS Loved seeing Erina just take over the entire kitchen like usual.

But rly tho, as someone who has worked in a restaurant before both serving and in the kitchen...it's not as a rocket science-y as they kinda made it out to be in this ep.

And they also shown nice contrast between both pairs, now I like Hisako even more.

Actually, this had turned into two-cour meanwhile (MAL is late with changing it as always), expect the same number of episodes as season 1 had.

Do you have a source? Wherever I check it says 13 episodes and if they did decide to extend it, it would've been all over the place.
