Yes! Alice is back :D
So glad to see her again.

The season didn't take long to showcase Souma's cooking again. I find the reactions (especially from Megumi) to be rather amusing:


Good episode, felt more like a buildup but it's getting me excited for more especially with the Elite 10 showing up. Lol, that singing.

lol that part with the school anthem haha.

I'm glad they're doing this arc though, it gives viewers more information on Chinese food outside of the "ginger beef" and "sweet and sour pork" bs.

That was a really nice school anthem...And it was funny how everyone but Souma knew the words to it xDD

Overall, this was pretty much setup and planning for the Moon Festival to start and it was pretty good...Looking forward to seeing Alice and Hayama's stall most of all but at the same time, I'm equally hyped for Souma's

But god bless Megumi....That was too sweet of her to want to help Souma succeed no matter what, that's wifey material/goals right there

Great episode as always.

Lot of fun and comedic moments as well.
Megumi was so sweet when she said she wanted to help Soma. <3

Alice, Kuro and Hayama. That's one heck of a trio right there. xD
Hilarious how Alice manipulated Jun. xD

That moment when everyone's singing the school anthem and you don't know it, Soma. XDDD

Next episode should be lit.

Lol Kuga basically built a whole temple while Yukihira's looks like something a street vendor would have.

Very fun episode again.

Poor Tadokoro, sacrificing herself for Souma,she's so adorable.

And the trio of Alice,Kurokiba and Hayama is such a treat to watch. Alice giving both guys a hard time xD

After all the build up, next week it's going to get serious,can't wait to see the festival animated and in color,this will be great.

Great news guys!! Shokugeki no Souma: San no Sara will have 24 episodes!!! We back baby!!
At least that is what a chinese streaming site said, so take it with a grane of orgasmic salt.
Link to article: http://www.otakuusamagazine.com/food-wars-shokugeki-no-soma-season-3-reportedly-listed-24-episodes/
So for anybody reading that has read the manga. We will see some good ol revenge in the anime, most likely.

Megumi is just too adorable. Her passion to help Soma is admirable, especially since she was taste-testing Soma's Mapo Tofu dishes. Just like in the manga, seeing Megumi's mouth unleashing a big flame that can rival Charizard's Flamethrower is really amusing. XD

And poor Soma was the only student in the entire school that didn't know the words to the school anthem. Satoshi's singing was certainly passionate though. =)

Overall, I liked the pacing for this episode better than episode 1. I'm looking forward to seeing how Soma and Megumi gets on against Kuga's massive restaurant over the next set of episodes. =D

Preparations everywhere, souma lucky he got Erina-sama's taste tests for free.
Plain spiciness is not enough, it must be combined with umami but souma chooses another route.

Megumi and Hojo are nice together, seems like they have a great friendship going :D

Also Hisako definitely doesn't attempt to avoid Souma's ask for help, she has respect for him at this point i'd say.

These little bits of character development are always nice to see.

Other than that, the taste testing from Megumi and Souma was hilarious xD

After credit scene was HYPE with the music and their first customers!

Mostly a setup episode but now the festival has officially begun. It should be interesting to see how Souma's simple vendor stand will hold up against Kuga's giant restaurant.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Those delicious chinese food! I noticed a few changes from the manga like Alice tagging along with Erina and Hisako for taste testing not that I'm complaining.

Funny on seeing Souma being only student who doesn't know the school anthem.

Another great one. Megumi really is a great character, she's so sweet and selfless.

Erina noticing that even Hisako likes Soma. Nice.

Alice is always a lot of fun, she connived her way into the festival which was great.

So Soma decided to go with buns on the first day (I assume the food changes for each day). I'm really looking forward to how Soma tackles this, especially with his dinky stand.

Soma not knowing the school anthem was incredibly funny.

The fifth basic taste, after sweetness, sourness, bitterness, and saltiness.

I feel like this season is relying a lot on the comedic side on things, more so than the other seasons.

Seems like Souma has come up with a plan off screen again. Interesting.... Let's see how it pans out.

I didn't knew that thing about spicy food. You really learn something new every day.

The comparisson between Kuga's spectacular temple and Souma's... street shop it's hilarious. I love how Souma manages to be optimistic even with such disadventage. I wonder how he will compete against Kuga. So far, it seems he is having some success.

Alice trolling Hayama was priceless.
I like too how Hisako has really open to Souma after the whole Stagiare thing.

RIP to their buttholes; the redness of those spicy Chinese food dishes look like they would make ghost pepper taste like a strawberry. but knowing the consequences, I'm still getting a craving for mapo tofu right about now anyway. Those black pepper sesame buns look delicious too.

Good thing this episode was better than the first one; I might have dropped if it stayed that bad.

The animation was way better in this episode than previous ones, but I still can't get over the fact that there practically isn't a single damn still frame in both the entire episode. Hopefully this trend doesn't continue, because its just weird and distracting.

So... fucking... boring. I can save you all a bunch of hours of your life... he wins some ridiculous cooking competitions written by someone who has obviously never even been in a kitchen in their entire life or even watched a cooking show. Also people's cloths explode off of them as they have orgasms from putting food in their mouths which are more sensitive than a Bene Gesserit's. I gave the first season a pass because it was an okay origin story and you were introduced to the school and characters, but this doesn't have any of that, it's just a bunch of stupidity.

Try harder. You clearly don't know anything about the author. He has a real cheff assisting him writing the manga. You don't even sound like you even watch the episode.
