| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- At long last, the continuation of Season 1 of Etsushi Ogawa's new manga. Prefer the OST of the previous season, though this is plenty fine. We continue to where Season 1 left off with the cliffhanger: Mao vs. Shouan in the last of 3 cooking matches in the Underworld Cooking Society. Well as usual, sabotage is the name of the game, and it's no surprise that Shan is back at it again. But the case of the enemy helping rivals to broaden the cooking mastering, it has proven time and time again so. Ingenious for Mao to show up with Mapo Tofu, Panda style with Sichuan origins, impressive. Of course, Shouan is less impression, more on flavour with idealism, that makes it for his own dish. A good start to the continuation. |

| I enjoyed this episode more than a lot of the previous season by some distance. Regardless of how this season turns out to be, I'm glad to have this show return in any form, even if the previous season was a disappointment for mostly feeling like an inferior ripoff of the original Chuuka Ichiban. |
| Geezus, this soft reboot still has literally no soul at all. All these excessively bright colors and odd and awkward sequences with the dialogue and events, and stiff animation, are still jarring as ever. Not like I was a fan of the OG series to begin with, but not even a genuine sense of improvement in body and spirit. Dropping this for now, at least, unless I suddenly get the interest to review it later on this season. |

| oh nice! the chinese cooking sensation is back! 4/5. |
 |
| I had a lot of fun watching this episode, though not as great as the original was, I still think they did a good job. I only vaguely remembered Mao's panda tofu so it was fun seeing his technique again! Glad to have this show back :D |
| That cliff though... also realized I've never had mapo tofu, that needs to change! |
| Great episode, if not the best. New OP is alright I guess, overall the 2nd season should be an 8/10 or 9/10 if it performs well again. Sadly I remembered that Tofu scene so it will be another season of new animation but probably not actually new content :/ |
| Trying to watch all available anime series so you won't have to anymore, the list of anime I can recommend is still in progress, tho |
| Sad that in this version Mei and Shirou fell asleep on their own instead of Xiang putting them to sleep using a needle, but the rest of it was pretty similiar to the old version. Gotta respect Mao for coming up with such a unique and creative dish while having a shortage of time to prepare |
