Shokugeki no Soma! Thread

[blueangel06661]

Can we just talk about how good this show ended up being. My mom was actually the one to tell me to watch it. I just want more.

At the same time I hate cooking shows because I can't eat the food I'm watching and it's the worst.

It was probably one the better or even the best cooking show out there. Luckily for you an OVA is confirmed and a second season is very likely.

[Intenigious]

I had 0 expectations of the show when I firs started watching it.

Even though things could be better in the anime (maybe lessen the amount of ecchi, maybe just maybe)

The manga is amazing. Even the anime is still good, I've only seen a few still image scenes and shortcuts through multiple layers (ignoring the horrible pacing aswell).

I'm not a big fan of cooking, and normally you have to have atleast some knowledge of the topic b4 watching it in order to get the full package (example no game no life poker in episode 1)

but Shokugeki no Soma ended up introducing everything perfectly in my opinion. I've learnt so much from it whilst it kept me interested the whole way through. Tsukada does an amazing job of creating the chemistry between the characters and its rare to see a realistic anime which doesn't underpower the majority of it's characters.

In Shokugeki no Soma's case, I feel its justified why the main crew are so much better than the rest of the students (Eg. Somas been passionate about cooking from the very start, whilst the other students are more forced to go to totsuki because of their lineage) (If u think about it, most chefs take up cooking (at youngest) middle school aswell), unlike Knb just throwing coincidences at you. Imagine 5 prodigies all going to the same school in japan (Midorima outclassing real NBA players - how does he even loose)

It reminds me of Baby Steps, in its perfection of introducing techniques to an unknowledgeable audience.

I just finished reading chpt 146 and the pacing towards the climax seems amazing.

Defs one of my fave pieces, anyway rant/spule over, every1 can relax.

Looking forward to what comes out of this incredible story

I actually feel the ecchi in this anime was done extremely well. If anything, the ecchi made it just a tinge better. Is that weird?

[blueangel06661]

I found it hilarious that it was my mom who watched and recommended it to me. She was like "Just so you know there's a lot of food pronz in it...." And I thought she was just talking about there were a lot of pictures of food that would make me hungry.........

Your mom has good taste in chinese cartoons, ayyyyy..

I understand what you mean, and would agree with you if the pacing of the show was a bit different.

Simply put, I feel like too much time and effort was focused on the ecchi and reactions to the dish. It felt like whole episodes were taken up with the ecchi and reactions with not enough discussion of the components of the dish to justify it, especially during the election preliminaries.

Idk, I'm probably just frustrated there were only 24 episodes, and we only reached the end of the preliminaries in the anime (thus blaming the ecchi)

She does. Both my older brother and I gamed and watched anime. We were a household of nerds for a while until we got old and moved out. So she started getting into World of Warcraft and other PC games as well as a tad of anime but she mostly watches K-dramas. There was a time that I didn't get fed dinner because she was in the middle of a raid that lasted hours on WOW when I was in high school. I have such strong feelings against the game now.

Best mom...

all my mom ever does is complain, and tell me to do stuff that i already know I need to do, and cook

[RyuTama]

Yeah so, second season is confirmed.

Though I think we all saw it coming, lol. Can't wait.

[blueangel06661]

With the way that show ended; There had to be a second season or I would've been mad. Though I wanna know if it's going to be a summer or fall airing.

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

lol Read the Manga. You're making it sound as if the series didn't have a manga. lewl

But for real though. The tournament is really dope. Can't wait to see that animated.

[blueangel06661]

Of course there's a manga and I have been reading it. But the way the first season ended was basically abruptly hanging the viewer. There was obviously going to be more but had there not been that ending would've been a terrible way to end a good series.

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

The way the first season ended was fine, though. It's not like the series ended in the middle of the first round. That would have been terribad. Luckily we got to see the entirety of the first round. Besides, Jump series do too good not to get their whole series animated.

If anything, it was worse with KuroBasu's second season, but obviously there was going to be more.

[Blizzardin]

I'm not a person that likes ecchi. But Shokugeki no Soma was an exception. The first episode was weird for me to watch (because of the extreme "ecchi" reaction). But the story behind it kept me watching. Glad I did.

I can't wait for the second season!

I thought it was terrible.

I started watching this last night. I had always had it on my too read list, but my manga reading time has sort of dwindled here recently. I have taken up watching anime at night. And got through 4 episodes. I Like it so far. I am glad it made a full 24 eps before cutting off the season. Better than some of the other well known series released this year.

I like Soma and his attitude and passion for cooking. The reactions are great. It all reminds me too much of Addicted to Curry (Manga) and Yakitate! Japan (Anime/Manga) sooo although it was new it had that vaguely familiar feel to it that I enjoy. The pacing seems pretty spot on episode to episode.
