| the red lips when trying the spicy food from Soma and Megumi were adorable lol I loved the school anthem part where everyone knew the song except Soma! |
| 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. |
| The pace in this episode is different. Did they change directors for this episode? Not just that, animation quality in general just dropped. What happened? |

| no VA listed yet for Azami? It better be hayami show, no one else but him should voice Azami |
| BRING BACK TANEDA RISA!!! 0/5. |
 |
| LOL, That school anthem tho... Only Souma don't know that there's a school anthem. 5/5 Funny, and also serious episode. (I'm running out of time for school!) |
| 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. |

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. |

| I like the additions the anime made, they're doing a great job with this arc so far. |
My Queens  |
She can't voice Erina because she has some health issues. |

| This and Hisako is doing a great job, so I don't see a real issue here. |
My Queens |
| hmmm nice going ....a built up episode...fight starts from the next episode |
 |
| Better than last week but JC Staff is eally rushing this arc and it hurts it. PS: Great job by Erina's new VA. Two episodes in and I wouldn't have even known it was a new person if I hadn't seen it here. |
| In this season Erina looks very better... you know, less tsundere and +dere |
| 『 』 |
| I like Erina's new VA, she sounds more dere than tsun which I like. Megumi is so cute ♥ The school anthem part, lol. Looking forward to the next episode! I may start reading the manga. |

| Megumi is too sweet, I was hoping she'd offer to help. She kept going even though it as a painful job. I had to laugh at the red mouth. ;) I am glad Souma gave up on the Mapo Tofu and did something different. Man! did those Hujiao bing look good or what? |
| Loved the pharmacology references, pacing is brilliant+ Megumi was adorable as always. Series of the year for me. |

| As always I enjoyed it, I don't there there is an episode of this series that I haven't found enjoyment in, tbh. I thought the funniest part of the episode was when Todokoro and Yukihira were tasting spicy food, and their lips were all swolen, it was a combination of funny and adorable! HAHAHA Can't wait to see how things go for the both of them next episode, were in for a treat people! <3 |
kowalski_1123 said: Pacing is actually fine as compared to Season 2, maybe because it's rumored that it's gonna be 24 eps... Can somebody confirm it? Premise to the Moon Banquet Festival, and it's already lit af. I LMAOd at the part where Souma is the only one who doesnt memorize the school hymn... Esp way back in the manga. LOL I hope it's 24 episodes. It gives it more of an opportunity to better pace the story as opposed to season 2 (Which I enjoyed very much) seemed to rush the story due to it only being 13 episodes. So If it's 24 episodes I'll be happy. |
| Its always great to have my waifu Alice have screen time <3 Cant wait to see what happens next |
 |
| EPISODE 3 HYPEEEEE |
  |
| Very good episode. We see Soma trying to learn how he can stack himself up against Kuga and the festival gets underway. Also was pretty funny seeing Megumi suffer through Soma's taste testing dishes. Very excited for the next episode. |

Guranto-kun said: no VA listed yet for Azami? It better be hayami show, no one else but him should voice Azami Oh, so I wasn't the only one thinking that. Yes, every time Azami had a line in the manga Hayami Show's voice echoed in my head. |
| I love Food Wars! but am I the only one who feels like this season feels slightly lower-budget than the previous two seasons? (choppier animation, and stiffer character movements) It would make sense since I am assuming a lot of its budget was taken up by Children of the Whales this season :/ Anyways, I really hope the 24-episode rumor is true, looking forward to more Food Wars! |

Two episodes in and I wouldn't have even known it was a new person if I hadn't seen it here. No they are not rushing it tbh, the pace is actually quite good compared to Season 2. They even added scenes not in the manga and those blend in quite well. Bruh, none of these scenes have any time to sink in because of the breakneck pace it's moving at. Jokes don't get to land, serious moments have little to no weight. The only scene that actually had time to breathe was the school song scene. |
| Alice slyly finding a way to participate in the Moon Festival was great haha. That team should be fun to watch. Souma would definitely be the only student to not know his school anthem LOL. Seems like Kuga has some kind of deal with Tsukasa. This competition will definitely be interesting to watch. |
| Hisako really has become a lot friendlier to Souma. Megumi is too sweet in this episode. Her little freak out was adorable. Alice trolling Hayama was hilarious! |
 |
| Taking opponents head on is Yukihira's normal method though so this is hardly a surprise. Well Hisako was thanks to their paring during the stag was able to understand Yukihira a bit more so its natural that they will be friendlier. As expected of Kuga to have that deep a knowledge on Chinese cuisine though. Erina ended up giving some really useful advice to Yukihira though in the end. Megumi is so cute when she's embarrassed though. Playing the friends of Akira card to Shiomi worked out surprisingly well though. Takumi sure has a lot of female fans thats for sure. But its nice seeing what Yukihira's friends are doing for the festival though. Hmm i was surprised that the school actually has a school anthem as well. And hearing everyone sing it was nice as well. And now the festival is finally here. This should be pretty interesting. |

Sokah said: With rare exceptions all the food in this series is completely replicable and is stuff the writer and a chef assistant make before putting it into the manga. To say the writer has never stepped into a kitchen is really stupid and the fact that you try to say cooking shows are a good source of reference makes it seem more like you have no idea how to cook cause cooking shows are very rarely anything but laughable.So... fucking... boring.

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 |
| Bless Megumi sweet soul, she knew Souma needed help so she decided to help his booth. The spice testing scene was hilarious too, i mean look at those swollen lips! Lastly, as if Souma couldn't be more ignorant......he looks around completely dumbfounded as the school sings their anthem...oh man Souma... |
 |
| Most people that watched this anime that isn't Asian or even many Asians wouldn't understand the cultural context behind this episode. I'm from Taiwan (half taiwanese) and I've lived in Taiwan for a while. The fact that the one thing Souma thought of to defeat one of the most famous and renowned Chinese dishes from China (Sichuan's Mapo Tofu) is the AMAZING variety of food from Taiwan's street food. I always tell people, there isn't much to see in Taiwan since it isn't very big but if anything, people go there for the food. The food in Taiwan in my personal opinion from living in over 7 different countries, has to be one of the best I've ever had. Taiwanese night markets and street food are to kill for. Also the rival between China and Taiwan has been going on for super long time, and it also represents how big China is as a country (Kuga's giant store) compared to Taiwan as a tiny country (Yukihira's tiny stand) and seeing how Yukihira will overcome and perhaps blow people away, gives me so many goosebumps. |

| The pacing is still on the fast end. It needs some room to breathe but I feel like they're really trying to flash through a lot of material for later parts in the series which is kind of iffy since there's a lot of characters and we NEED to have time with them. Otherwise it's still good. It keeps building up to the festival and I can't wait to see everyones dishes. Sokah said: So... fucking... boring.

| Since I was invited (read: challenged) to visit episode discussion... Here we go. The humor is still not making me laugh. I found myself constantly facepalming. I found at least two good things in this episode: Ashita no Joe reference (when your anime is shit, just use references). Mapo Tofu: my favorite food. The MC totally misses its point though. Killing someone via pepper is not cooking. Yuki Kaiji character, check. Cringe. Boobs McGee, check. Cringe. Naked apron guy, check. Cringe. At least Archer came from Fate to visit lol Oh, and this is fucking stupid, stop doing it :D Oh, that singing......... Maximum cringe overload. @PrimeX It's true as far as I know. Humans taste sweet, sour, umami, bitter and salt. @Kittens-kun Don't worry, I'll be here keeping you company :P |
