| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Maoxing's skills impresses me. He's got style flipping that flour in the air. When he makes cooking look flashy like that, I can't help but cheer for him. |
 |
| i still find starting and remaking the middle of the previous series interesting but...this definitely felt more like a first episode. the flashiness is back tho lol |
| I love Shell, and his first contact with Mao here was way more agreeable than the one in the first anime, because if I remember it right, he broke stuff around the restaurant like a madman. lol And I didn't like the new character design at first, but I'm in love with it already. Shell is as hot as ever, and I have been waiting for the moment he takes off his shirt to use his Steel Staff as soon as the episode started. lol And I like the OP, and the ED too. The OP feels like a nice recap. The pace felt weird though, and I still think Mao "only" won in the creative department. I might be wrong, but it didn't seem like his shumai had enough skin to wrap all of the filling, and I'm not sure every single part of the pig is really tasty. But well, even Shell accepted his defeat, who am I to question it? And I don't remember that scene with Meili wondering if she is good enough to be Mao's partner. I sure hope she gets more spotlight this time around, and I already can't wait for Shell to appear again, I mean, for the next episode. |

| A better episode than the first one. Man, I'm having a blast with this show. Definitely one of my anime of the season candidates so far. |
| I just cannot seem to stay awake properly on this show, I've tried even mixing energy drink with espresso, but shit! No matter how I look at it, this is boring. But I'll stick around so it can be my sleeping pill, or maybe it will improve. |

| Yea, a giant shumai is not tasty whatsoever. Its just meat like a 20lb hamburger... |
 |
| You need at least five to ten hours to properly cook a shumai that large. I like Shell's shumai more but a shumai with different parts of the pork sounds good. I remember this mini arc being one of my faves in the original series. They compressed it here. I love dimsum and shumai is definitely one of my faves. |
| 臭い- |
| oh what a big ass SHUMAI! 4/5. |
 |
| welll... I thought it will all be some journey...but we get alot of variety of characters |
 |
| It said than the anime is a sequel, but no we already see that in the first adaptation. The first anime is better. At least, we got a end in that serie. |
| I don't know...being someone who has watched the entire '97-’98 series, and while following the sequel manga frame by frame, it just doesn't seem wholesome as the one from 20 years ago. It is a very considerable nitpick though and @kazthehack I echo very same feelings. Seeing Steel-Rod Shell in action is good though Mao trounced him like usual, you know, after the Super Chef arc that made him level with pro chefs. But regardless in this "new" age of Mao a.k.a post Episode 18, shall press on into what the new technology can provide. Considering that this ONE episode encompasses the entire (close to finishing) Volume 1 of the manga, I was legit surprised at how much info they could cramp whilst following the footsteps of the source material. We need more extravagant exaggeration, otherwise this is kinda boring. |

| Shell was my favorite character in the original anime series so I’m very glad to see him again. The Mao vs Shell battle was condensed into one episode here, so it felt rushed. I guess this anime version is going to be a lot more condensed in general. The original anime felt too slow while this version feels too fast. |
| Mmm, yeah, definitely had that rushed feeling to it. It kinda felt like they were just regurgitating plot points and ignoring everything else. I hope they slow down soon. |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| Damn, I have never expected to watch an anime like Shokugeki no Souma again. I wonder why it isn't popular. |
| Definitely more rushed than the original, omitting some details like how Mei didn't recognize the stir fry was different from how Mao usually cooks. I like the change that Shell doesn't throw any tantrum, makes him more likeable and less of a destructive prick. |
