But just as Yukihira graduates from middle schools his father, Yukihira Jouichirou, closes down the restaurant to cook in Europe. Although downtrodden, Souma's fighting spirit is rekindled by a challenge from Jouichirou which is to survive in an elite culinary school where only 10% of the students graduate. Can Souma survive?

There's not much to say about this anime except...

LET THE FOODGASMS BEGIN~

Seriously. There's character drama but just about everything is punctuated by the random WTF of the author trying to depict the taste of good food through hilariously inappropriate physical overreactions.

QUOTE (Norren @ Apr 04 2015, 12:45 AM)drama but just about everything is punctuated by the random WTF of the author trying to depict the taste of good food through hilariously inappropriate physical overreactions.surpasses what I pointed above after its title in only 2 eps, more graphic than a recent anime series Koufuku Graffiti... more dramatic too than this reality show MasterChef but overall, more hilarious than the liveaction film God of Cookery

 

[Norren]

And with this ep, we finally get to meet Megumi Tadokoro! I think she actually ends up being the best character in the manga, everyone else is a pretty big asshole, Souma included. (as you've doubtlessly noticed by now.)

I like how all the cast from the first year are shown in the audience during the speech.

I like how all the cast from the first year are shown in the audiencealso from the weirdos at Polar Star Dormitory in ep.4, she's the most normal so far ;p ok i thought their caretaker too... until she remembers herself as a horny hottie, I was laughing as well when the weirdest of them reveals he's an Elite

 

[JCDRANZER]

I love the manga and the anime, I think I mentioned sometime last year that I wished for it to get animated. I'm so glad it did and One-Man Punch is coming this Fall, man it's so awesome for stuff you want to see getting animated actually happening.

The latest episode, just left me reeling for more and yea to the Meat Master.

QUOTE (Norren @ Apr 17 2015, 8:27 PM)this ep, we finally get to meetdon't you mean meat this time? ;p Nikumi's obsession in ep'6, a meat lover like Sasha in Attack on Titan's 2nd OVA ^^... well I'm expecting more bounciness if Souma beats her tomorrow, both joining the club of Ashita no Joe's look alike

QUOTE (Barbobot @ Jun 25 2015, 12:17 PM)has turned into just a fun shounen show that's easy for me to enjoy. It had a rocky start with some of it's poor choices for fan service, but it didn't take long to move the focus awaygettng great after Shinomiya's shokugeki vs Megumi, with Soma barely passing that breakfast buffet test in ep.14... now that their training camp is over I can't wait for the Authum Elections arc to start (nice Street Fighter parodies btw)

Shokugeki no Souma: The Second Plate, Foodgasmwar Autumn Election's finals!

QUOTE (Norren @ Apr 04 2015, 12:45 AM)LET THE FOODGASMS BEGINAlice vs Soma xD fun s2 premiere, hopefully Megumi wins next but i doubt it

 

[Ryu]

There's not much to say about this anime
