Shokugeki no Soma

[Megas]

It would have been cooler if they had Gate of Babylon on the other side.

Also it might just be the format (cooking), but lately I've felt disconnected from the match results. Like, I know Souma is good but I didn't really feel like "aha, of course he won because of this," instead it feels like whatever the plot just narrates to me is happening. They build up these guys so much and then they just get cut down like normal, but there isn't an easy way to really measure the "power levels" because it's cooking. Why did the judges say X is better than Y? Beats me, they just did.

Kinda a side effect of Soma being in situations where he HAS to win.

[mAc Chaos]

It feels like stuff just happens with no rhyme or reason.

You could at least come up with an explanation for it. I guess feeling disconnected from the results is inevitable when the reasons are "the butter is so fluffy!" but I have no idea how that compares to a steak being juicy, etc.

[Rafflesiac]

Okay so who else was expecting a UBW reference

Okay, there it is.

Seems like it was because Soumei nailed seafood and butter to a T, but Souma nailed butter and rice and tofu and cheese and...

Quantity beating quality, except the quantity was also pretty quality

Reminds me of Souma vs. Mimasaka, actually.

[Arha]

Defeating Soumei made more sense to me than defeating Nene, at least, for the reasons that Raff mentioned.

[Spartacus]

If she doesn't curb stomp her I will be really disappointed

[Arha]

Yeah, for the first time in ages I actually feel hyped.

[Enchants]

We can finally see Erina's cooking. Finally.

[GundamFSN]

Guess Momo gonna get rekt.

[mAc Chaos]

She better not lose.

[R.Lock]

I'll be surprised if Erina loses after this. Man, that was great.

[Spartacus]

I want to be a thick red bean paste and squeezed between those two big, yet soft pancakes.

[GundamFSN]

I like the contrast shown between Nakiri and Momo by using the girls' reaction. One is dominance, the other is...dunno the right word for it, idolize?

[Spartacus]

I was hoping for total humiliation, but catchphrase borrowing is super fine too

[hatori]

Given how the story is going, it's probably going to boil into a 2v2, then a 1v2, then final 1v1.

[Arha]

It would be best to end it at the 2v2.

[Rafflesiac]

[Arashi_Leonhart]

only just today caught up on the latest chapter

haha yeah, that's right, use erina's tongue more

[Arha]

I feel like Souma's been really obnoxious for the last few chapters.

[GundamFSN]

He's always like that tho.

[Rafflesiac]

It's his charm point.
