| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Shit, I wasn't expecting an actual sword battle. I mean, in a cooking show... But then again, this anime can be a bit crazy sometimes so in a nutshell, this series' finale made a bit of impact. Sequel got announced. https://natalie.mu/comic/news/361444 |

| At first i was expecting a sequel to the 90's anime, not a reboot. And tbh, this reboot doesn't catch the charm of the old series. The cooking battles didn't feel so impactful this time around.. Well, i did love the old series, and i wanted to see where the story would go from where it ended. We'll get to see that now in a 2nd season. Hopefully its handled way better than this reboot. 9/10 for the original series, 5/10 for this one. (since it was a reboot, my score is a bit more harsh, then again, depending on how this new season is handled, because it's new material that hasn't been adapted yet, at least after this arc is over, my score might just take a big upgrade) |
 |
| I liked the first series but this version felt so dull 5/10 |
| Whew, finally this this reboot is over, and my review's out anyways, so judging from an immense fan of the OG, this was extremely uninteresting to say the most. @GameHotelH @DoomRanger FYI. The sequel is as promising as the translation chapters it manages to come out with as the anime has caught onto the manga (continuation) so far. @WaterLord let's just hope that it will be better, really driving me mad about it. @phantomfandom did you ever watch the OG? Anyways, the ending was fine, Xiang knew how to adjourn for her mistakes by cunningly cheating in the brazen of ways possible whilst Leon tried to his very best. But not without mistake that Leon's misfortune led to Xiang's fortune, and that she fulfilled what Leon could not have done. Certainly, the greatest skillmaker Ra Che has made his mark on both of them, with his final messages. The finale between Mao and Shouan, as depicted in the 1st 18 episodes of the OG, the rivalry of why Mao and the Underworld Cooking Society exists. Certainty a bloodshed battle to settle their affairs past, and now. Looking forward to the non-surprised sequel regardless, if they ever hope to capture the essence of the OG of 20 years ago. |

phantomfandom said: Yes, I watch it first in dub though my local channel which aired 7 years later than Japanese broadcast, and because I like the anime and can't wait next week for the next episode, just before anime end I went to read manga until the end. I'm a little bit sad that the original anime end at earlier point that manga, but I also not sure about manga final arc, which escalated very quickly, it almost like the publication (Weekly Shonen Magazine) is trying to force the manga to stop to make room for new manga. About this remake, I dare say that this mellow soft style animation is what the manga author want to draw in the first place, but because of the lack of his skill and technology and trend at that time, the manga and original anime style look closer to Fist of the North Star instead. To be exact, the manga ended at Episode 18 of the OG where thereafter fillers are placed so that it doesn't overtake the manga (at that point of time). If you'd never read my review (which I've awhile ago), the serialization is mostly to blame here. About the manga and original anime style, yes, sadly by 1990s standards technology wasn't so advanced they'd have to rip off like Hokuto no Ken style, but that's what I liked about the over-zaniness of the anime, it wasn't like anything ever seen back at that time, and even for a cooking show, it was flabbergasting for all the right reasons, and was endearing to me for just that. The reboot was a soft mellow style that whether by hook or by crook the author wanted it to be that way, but then again it's like 20 years past so I'd bet that it wouldn't make a significant change. |

| I will be one of those people who will say: THE ORIGINAL WAS MUCH BETTER. I remember wathcing Chuuka Ichiban on cable TV and it was entitled Cooking Master Boy. I watched it over and over again because I love Anime and I love Chinese food. This adaptation was okay, extremely rushed but the animation was pretty good but at the same time, a little lackluster. The original style had a roughness that I liked. However, despite it, I'll still watch the second season. I want to see if they'll adapt things from the manga that the first Anime adaptations stopped animating. This remake gets a 5/10 from me. |
| 臭い- |
| This reeked of a cash grab. The number of still frames, the awful voice direction, the uninspired writing, the low animation quality. Nothing about this felt like they were trying to improve anything. Production I.G. and Nihon Ad Systems are better than this. What the hell happened? |
| I expected this to go further than the original anime, but somehow it ended up with less closure than it. But well, a second season was confirmed after all, so maybe it will work out somehow. |
 |
| Lol poor guy but that was low-key hilarious, getting stabbed twice by two different people you trusted and by the knives you made yourself |
 |
| I'm glad to see this series again. But compared to the first series its not as good. Its like watching the first again but with a small difference. |
| Lache got quite the cruel death here by getting stabbed with knives he created again. Him appearing and the second set vanishing makes less sense given that the knives have been recreated instead of already been made at the time of the first set like in the original series. Enjoyable season but not as good as the original in my opinion considering its pretty rushed with a lot of details missing both in story and animation. |
 |
| Murdering is definitely wrong, but I really dont blame her for her cooking tactic.. All's Fair in Love & War |
