This season of Shokugeki no Soma is moving surprisingly fast. The Regiment de Cuisine arc, which started a few weeks ago in the anime, only concluded recently in the manga. I expected it to take a while for us to get there, but with two episodes left, it seems that we’ll get to see the first […]

Joichiro’s past – and his relationships with both Gin and Azami – are the focus of “The Pioneer of the Wastelands”, which will probably become my favorite episode of Shokugeki no Soma. This was just a really great episode, and I think I enjoyed this flashback more in the anime than I did in the manga. […]

The terms of the Regiment de Cuisine have been set, the rebels have learned the importance of teamwork, and Erina stood up to her father. All this and more on this week’s episode, “Erina’s Diligent Studies”. Read our before commenting. Please do not copy our content in whole to other websites. Linkbacks are encouraged.

After a little bit of a hiccup, we are on to the declaration of war. After discovering that all of the other rebels have lost their battles against the Elite Ten and been expelled, Yukihira arrives at a very Yukihira-like decision. They will take over the Elite Ten and reverse Azami’s rules. Read our before […]

Last week’s episode ended on a dramatic cliffhanger. After several episodes of wondering what happened to Hayama, we learned that he joined Central! “Revenge Match” reveals that Yukihira must battle Hayama to move on to the next round of the Advancement Exams.

The Advancement Exams continue in “Jeanne d’Arc Rises”. The pacing continues to be a bit fast, with the first of the episode containing their second exam, while the second half of the episode features the gang sightseeing in Sapporo. The manga sometimes seems to crawl, but the anime is going much more quickly than I […]

“Onward on the Totsuki Train” officially begins the Advancement Exams for the Polar Star Dormitory students, and fully reveals the utter ridiculousness of Azami’s bizarre plan for world culinary domination.

Shokugeki no Soma is back with the second half of season 3! “Advancement Exam” is full of everything you love about Shokugeki no Soma: humor, substance, amazing food animation, and super weird (and kind of confusing) foodgasm scenes.
