Finally, more screentime of my 2nd favorite SnS girl, Rindou-senpai. Funny to see her teasing Kuga and then sampling all 120 booths in five days. I like how the Tsukasa constantly worries over little things such as the room conditions, but remains highly confident on how tasty his dishes are.

Hype! Things are finally going to get more serious now that evil bastard has arrived in full animation! Having Aizen's VA as Azami is perfect.

If I would care about the Japanese I would be a Love Live,Tiger and Bunny and Madoca Magica fan, he may not be an alpha villain,but calling him shitty and make him responsible for the downfall of the manga is an exaggeration....I thought the execution was good too and as you said yourself the consequences came later on, Foodwars is a long running shounen after all and as we know they take some time to set up and develop certain aspects and actions of characters. If people loose interest till there it may be their fault,cause there are certainly others who enjoyed the latest arcs.


Haha, not only Japanese but other fans too. He is probably not the only culprit for the downfall but certainly played a major part, consequences doesn't matter when there is an immediate remedy in the form of current arc(and not even major consequences, otherwise it would have been over a long ago). Whatever, this is anime forum so don't wish to continue but if you enjoyed the blip in quality, be it so.

There are other things besides quality of writing you know,especially in this anime which wasn't praised for it's writting to begin with,that's not an excuse,but imo there are many aspects aside from that which one could enjoy about it,so I dunno why many people are so salty about mediocre writting when it wasn't much worse than before.

Sure you can but I can argue how sns had actaully good writing until stagaire, in fact that was its peak where it perfectly showed the growth, challenges, hurdles of the characters. I wouldn't call it "mediocre" in any way until that.

Most of the episode wasn't that interesting to me. That was an interesting turn of events towards the end though. I found Erina's reaction intriguing.

A couple of thoughts:

* While I like the fact they shook things up, the fact that the top 10 students hold that much power is kind of ridiculous. I'm not particularly bothered by it or think it's a big deal, but the story definitely failed to foreshadow it properly.

* The relationship between Soma and Erina could really use more development. I like Erina's father reaction to his appearance. That scene is a great opportunity for development for Soma and Erina. But opportunities like this have to turn into actual progress. There's a lot of teasing, but not much progress. Does this get better anytime soon? (feel free to spoiler tag a simple yes or no, that's more than enough)

* Still on the topic of teasing... they keep teasing us about Erina's admiration for Soma's father. Unfortunately, I don't think they'll get to see each other or Erina will finally realize he's Soma's father anytime soon. I'd like to see this get somewhere. It's also really convenient that Erina knows him as Saiba rather than Yukihira. I wouldn't be surprised if the name change was for him to draw less attention and settle down. That would be understandable. I'll be pleasantly surprised if this doesn't become the new basement key/locket dilemma that never gets anywhere.

Damn good episode. I hated Azami when they introduced him in the manga and I hate him even more now.

I can't hate Tsukasa eventhough he sided with Azami. Seems like the time for Souma to prove that people without a gourmet background still belong has come.

In some first episodes of Season 1, Souma's dad wanted to tell Souma on phone about his secret to cooking is to cook for woman you love (something like that). I'm still hoping for that part to become real later in the story, or it might not even appear at all later on, hmmmm

If you mean the current arc, sure it had some flashes of brilliance just before it



Flashes of brilliance among a sea of mediocrity only in the later parts, yeah imo.

The vampire guy is very scary, no wonder Erina is so afraid of his presence.

Really? I was looking forward to his performance but was very disappointed. Maybe because I was expecting a mix between Mistsuhide and Ayanami.

Top 10 anime betrayals right here.

Allowing the top 10 students to have that much power definitely backfired, as they've now decided to replace the current director with Erina's dad. That's an interesting decision, so i hope to get clarification on why they did that.

As for Erina's dad, he sure is an ominous guy. I'm looking forward to learning more about him as the show progresses. And Aizen's VA is perfect for him. Everything is going according to keikaku.

Oh yeah and Tsukasa's a godly chef......that kind of got overshadowed by this drama with Erina's dad. Pretty interesting though how he doesn't even ask how the customers like the food.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

It's kinda crazy how the vote of 6 students (yes, part of the elite 10... but still kids ffs) can take down the director without any sort of vote from the rest of the students. Just thinking about that is crazy since the rest of the students are kinda fucked if Azami reforms the school

That may be the case, you should give him another chance,tho,was also slightly disappointed by Rindous Seiyuu at first,but then I got used to her.Could be the same here.

Imo it didn't drop in quality at all, it was about time that a real antagonist appears who would make things more dramatic. If anything I'm just not really fond of his radical ideology in regards to food,aside from that he's a good villain.


Me, including the majority(Japanese too, just look at the reactions before the current arc, or even the rankings, sales) beg to differ at least, he is a totally shit villain who had no real consequences to the manga(until the end of very last arc but that too is a way out to get him out of the scene as people grew tired of him). Things getting dramatic doesn't make it automatically good, it depends on execution, giving tons of plot armors to mc and pals didn't help either. His ideology also has a lot of flaws and makes absolute zero sense if you think rationally but eh whatever.


I love how he has the power to

Of course they would have picked Sho Hayami to voice Erina's dad. That man has the greatest job security in Japan.

Really intense episode. It's too bad soma didn't beat the other guy in sales.

Tsukasa is first seat for a reason, looks like his cooking his on a completely different level. I wonder if Soma disagrees with his ethic of taking himself out of the dish? Seems like Soma has always been taught to make a dish that's always has the Yukihira twist to it.

Did not see that final part coming at all. Can't believe the Council of Ten decided that. I wonder how those who voted against it feel about it?

Rindou is also super cute.

the current totsuki is so mindlessly barbaric that you can get expelled for whatever reason, it's really hard for me to side with senzaemon-souma side lol. i'd definitely side with aizen for tootsuki reform. but azami is also extreme too since- see u next week.

this aizen regime arc going to be good to pure shit and then to good again later in hopefully s4

erina is also overly dramatic this whole arc is annoying af

CONFLICT!!

Getting to the meat of things will hopefully help the pacing from here on out it definitely is showing off the animation better in the second half of the episode. Pretty obvious but seeing the progression of the Elite Ten and everyone's involvement to go back to the status quo will be very satisfying. Along with all the back history of the Nakiri's.

Also noting that Tsukasa is quite interesting then I had imagined with him separating himself from his cooking. How odd. Can't wait to see the 6/10 reasoning for siding with the crazy that is Azami.
