Another really good pair of an op and ed.

Erina was pretty gloomy, until Yukihara cheered her up. He's always doing that, even though he is always annoying her to no end. If he wasn't an overconfident strong-willed and supportive fighter, it just wouldn't be him. Those cheap eggs really upped the quality of that tempura bowl. Erina gave her rallying speech, after remembering how fun cooking can be. She never gave Soma the answer he wanted ; she ignored the "but how did it taste?" question so much. She's just hiding it for now

Finally SNS is back, i missed this anime so much!

Really nice "first episode", finally they are focusing on Erina's past and how Souma will help her development, Erina looked too cute after entered Souma's room!

And the final speech by Erina, was too perfect!

Hype for next episode, as always!

Yay the food wars are back ^^

Alright, I think this is the turning point for Erina. From being merciless and antagonistic at times, now she's willing to help the Polar Star residents to fight against her father :P

Sweet, this is definitely the start of the Erina hype train! Better hop on it now, we got a long journey ahead of us.

Great solid episode full of much-loved chibi comedy and lots of Erina. For some reason, I was worried the episode will fail to deliver but it surpasses all expectations I had. Opening was good but it wasn't the first opening level of standard which was fine. Ending was great as always even though it was quite simple. And entertaining voice-acting from Yoshitsugu Matsuoka for Soma. This episode solidified why he's one of my favorite voice actor and why Soma is one of my favorite character. Really looking forward to the rest of the adaptation. Here's hoping the quality will be this great all the way to the end of the season.

Oh, and about the soundtrack here, it was really nice of course. The Dish Towards Tomorrow made a comeback, yay! :D

The show took off right where the last season stopped.
A lot of focus was on Erina's past and finding out what was important to her about cooking. That's its fun.
She didn't give Yukihira a response on his cooking even if it was amazing.
Now for the preparation of the final exam.

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.

Ohh yeah!!! its finally back, and right where it ended on last cour. Erina sure has able to realize one big thing about cooking - and that is FUN!!!

* sure those central really wants all those on the polar dormitory to be oust of the school but with the help of Soma and Erina it will be a great one for them...

*and the quote that Yukihira Soma and Jouichiro said is so true even in real life "IF YOU KNOW WHERE YOURE HEADED, ITS NO FUN AT ALL". sometimes those unexpected things or surprises are making lives happier and more exciting...

LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT EPISODE!!!

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.

A really good episode with several great throwbacks to season 1. Personally as an anime-only fan of the series I've found it very difficult to focus my attention on Erina or really care about her character and situation as a whole. However, this episode has definitely changed my pre-existing opinion of her and I genuinely look forward to her character growth in relation to soma and her aid to the rest of the gang. All in all, looking forward to the rest season of 3.

It's so nice to have that reminiscing feeling when you already read the manga then you watched the anime and see them actually move, it's kinda like having a deja vu, like oh here comes this part, and this part, and this and that, it is exactly how you perceive it in your mind. It's a good thing that the anime is the same as the manga, especially if you really like mangas and likes to read first before watching.

Good job folks!
Can't wait when this season is over. Because i'm going to binge it all. Btw love the songs, definitely wanna listen to them before i go to sleep.

More creative than that MHA which I don't understand the hyped from it.


How are you hyped about the anime as a manga reader when the anime adaptation has been horrible since S2 apart from the first five episode of S3? I'm just interested in what makes you think so.

Haven't had a chance to watch the episode yet. But as it adapted 5 chapters from what I've heard, the chances that this episode is well adapted are practically zero since every episode that adapted as much was rushed as hell. Idk about the animation quality, but if it's as bad as the second half of S3, this season will sadly be a terrible adaptation again.

S1 was the only actual great season because the pacing was perfect and the animation was flawless. Afterwards the anime went downhill. The manga went downhill as well, but it's still pretty enjoyable.

The hype for MHA is currently there because of what's going to happen in the next episodes. Having read both manga, the upcoming content in MHA blows SnS out of the water by far. I mean you gave S1 and S2 a pretty high rating, so you seem to be enjoying MHA overall, right? When reading the MHA manga, the upcoming arc was the first to actually get me really hyped. On top of that, it has one of the best anime adaptations, I've ever seen apart from Haikyuu, HxH 2011 and Gintama, who are about as well adapted as MHA.

It's great to be back in the world of Shokugeki no Soma!! This episode played out perfectly! I was so happy to see Erina enjoying Soma's cooking and her little speech at the end was euphoric. Can't wait to see how it all goes down! Also, Erina x Soma is something I hope we'll get to witness, it has to happen!
Sidenote: Did anyone else notice the lipsyncing was a bit off at moments? Particularly near the end with Erina?

Me? A Manga reader? 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.

Well, you read up until chapter 212 while the anime is currently around chapter 170, so I'm assuming you've read that part in the manga. Tbh, I don't have anything about Food Wars at all, I'd just rather have a better anime adaptation. I just don't like it when anime rush things.

I don't try to push my opinion on others. I wouldn't blame manga readers for "screwing up" the rating since manga readers already know what will happen so we have the right to vote after one episode since we know it will turn out good. The ones actually screwing it up are the fanboys who didn't even read the manga and don't even know whether they will like future episodes or not. You rate sth based on how much you like it, so what's wrong if I already know beforehand that I will like the season because I read everything in the manga.

Tbh, the upcoming part in the manga blew my mind which is exactly why I'm already rating it and why I'm hyped for this season despite having read it in the manga. Whether it will blow your mind, idk and idc, so don't expect too much, just enjoy the ride and rate it based on how much you like it.

The reason why I probably like Food Wars less is because I'm more critical towards flaws in story writing and plotholes. Don't get me wrong, the representation of food is great, I haven't really got the time and money to cook for myself though, so it can't motivate me in that direction like in your case.

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.

"he has already surpassed Joichiro when he was Souma's age."

No he hasn't, he's not even close. Joichiro was a monster when he was souma's age. There's a scene in the op showing joichiro

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.
