Young Tadokoro for the win! The skill she had when butchering the fish!

Hisako surely deserved her victory in duel, as expected from Erina's apprentice. I liked their battle although I'm kinda worried whether Nao turns out to be throw-away character now, never to be seen again.

It seems Saa-chan is gonna be in top 4... but there are many other candidates to come. Alice, Nikumi, Tadokoro, Akira, Takumi, Shun and Souma no less. Don't remember who is in which group but 8 places should be enough. Dunno about Ryouko, Ryou or Yuuki though, those three are unlikely to continue.

And with one duel a week it's seems we will have to wait for Souma's food quite some time. But at least they are presenting and establishing those new characters well.

Dat changed ED and ending card :D

Dammit the foodgasms are getting even more awesome. That skinny guy who would only mumble turned into a big macho man after eating Hisako's curry lol.

This episode was Hisako vs Nao. Nao is a witch who makes foul smelling crap which tastes good. That is so damn misleading. At least try and make them smell good. Why the hell do you have to be so suspicious with the food you make? She manages to get 80something points out of the judges who were literally destroying everyone who came before. She knows her ingredients and hence knows who combinations will give the best taste. But apparently she doesn't care about the smell as her food stinks. Her cooking method is so scary that it'll make children run away crying lol. But Hisako puts her in her place and shows her why she is Erina's lap dog.

Hisako's curry erases the effects of Nao's black magic and beats the witch. She uses medicinal herbs in her dish. Lol Nao turned into a human after eating Hisako's curry. Now Hisako is Nao's onee-sama. Too bad for her though. Liked how they changed Nao's mixture in the ending sequence to make it resemble something edible.

Nao's purpose here is for comedy and to show off Hisako's skills. She probably won't be showing up later on. This worked as an excuse to show us why Hisako is always by Erina's side. What skills led to Erina acknowledging Hisako as someone capable enough yo be by her side.

It's amazing how much these judges can eat. They will be eating the dishes prepared by 30 students. That's a lot.

Turns out Soma wasn't actually sleeping. He was waiting for things to get ready on the stove. They'll be leaving this for the last episode.

Now to see the Aldini Bros up against each other.

It wasn't explained clearly, but her goal was to make the foul stench addicting. After eating her meal the other meal won't have that "foul" stench that the judge loved(since they loved the food).
And Nao does appear way later, like some other character that are shown. It just won't appear this season.
Oh and the judge doesn't actualy finish the dish, they only taste it. They did finish Nao dish though since they really liked it.

Lol Nao (white) was hilarious. Megumi showing of her skills was boss. Next is the Aldini twins. I actually would really like for the Aldini twins to do well because they've lost their presence after the other characters like Akira were introduced

Half duration of an episode only two dishes was highlighted, not counting the first "disappointing" dish presented, it looks like it will took another 2 episode or even 3 just to finish tasting of the dishes from all major players of the Autumn Election..

Also Nao's "White transformation" is kinda adorable to watch. Too bad it wasn't permanent.

whenever there's Nao Sadatsuka, I feel their emotions, which is why I love this anime, it seems that the emotions felt by the characters in the anime, they come to me too.

Episode slow, but nice to see: 5/5

Great episode as always! I absolutely loved the part with Megumi. Everyone looks down upon her but when she showed her monkfish cutting skills, everyone was amazed. The little backstory about it was very touching as well and the track that played was perfect. I was cheering for her like a fanboy. xD Gotta love Megumi~ The judges are really harsh on the other candidates. Nao initially made a weird impression with how murky and dark her laksa looked but it paid off in its taste. However, Asako's dish won the judges over and even 'purified' Nao making her look cuter. :D Aldini brothers hype next week~

Hmm... so they're gonna finish Hall B before moving on to Hall A? Don't know about that, but well... Hall B is definitely finishing next week, judging by the preview. Also necessary since Hall A also needs time for Hayama and Soma.

On this episode itself, it was good. A perfect example as to why Shokugeki is one of the better airing shows right now.

Hmmmm, I'm kinda disappointed with the adaption of this arc. Two chapters in a row with bad pacing and a lot of rushed things.
I'm just hoping they aren't going to ignore my second best girl, who only appears as an extra commenter in this arc.

You have no idea of how EPIC that part was in the manga. Even I, who don't really care about Megumi, was excited and had goosebumps.

B Block's going to be finished by next episode, judging from the preview. A Block would then be saved for 23 and 24 can be ended with Chapter 61. It's going to be a bit rushed but meh. At least the pacing's not that bad.

LOL the foodgasms are always so hilarious and what make this show so much better. I'm surprised tho. In a whole episode, we pretty much only saw two of the main competitors dishes. Pretty sure we've got to see atleast 6+ character's dishes and the foodgasms that go along with it.

What really sucks is I think that we're only going to get through Group B's dishes and foodgasms next episode. As for Episode 23, Group A's dishes + foodgasms. Really want to see Soma's dish, and see him outshine everyone, including that spicy guy (forgot his name LOL). Correct me if I'm wrong, as this is only my prediction.

Hisako onee sama. Can't wait for Megumi dish. Megumi is cool in this episode.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

The food porn was on point, it's such a shame we only got two dishes. Judging by the pacing, it looks like the rest of the anime will only focus on the preliminaries, whoo whoo

I'm so curious about what Nao's dish tastes like and just how bad that stench is...
lmao at Isshiki and Alice's masks ahaa


If Hisako's dish got into the 90s, I wonder what score Erina would have gotten. 98? 99? 100? It made me lol when Nao called her 'Hisako-oneesama'. Good job, Hisako. You took the God Tongue's stalker. The ending change was hilarious too.

My my, how Megumi has developed since the beginning of the series. I can't wait to see what she makes!

Yup....the pacing looks looks it...but the problem is that it will leave a ccliffhanger at the end of anime

Btw I think Group B's dishes will also be interesting(being a manga reader and megumi fan)
