I was kind of scared with how many people I saw crapping on this next arc after season 4, but it honestly wasn't bad. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season!

Honestly, Food Wars is at its best when it's about "ordinary" school activities like this episode.

welp as a anime only this episode while being a beach episode so super fanservicey was just fine but the foreshadowing of this new character suckkkksssss everything about him not to mention how forced he seems to be into Soma's dad's past ,honestly i prepared myself for this season so i'm gonna try my best to enjoy it even if i end up hate watching it (not like we got a ton of stuff to watch this season).

and i'll pretend this season is non cannon and a what if story Shokugeki ended with season 4

Very Nice! Season 5!
That ED was a friggin' spoiler! because it is clear that Instructor Suzuki has some connections with the father of Souma! damn! we also have the silhouettes of the mothers of Souma & Erina!
Ryouko became more hotter because of her haircut!
oh god Erina's so prettier when she's laughing! then she got pissed of to Souma!
5/5.

I bet people will lose there minds on the ntr vibes if they go true source material but since the next one is called blue preliminaries maybe they will skip some of the worst parts but I doubt it. As someone who despises ntr I immediately spoiled myself in source material. I really hope they choose a different le dessert route then the never finished just imagine the future route. Damn I know it’s going to disappoint

It was a good episode. Didn't realize how much I missed the Anime until I watched it. xD

I hope that the Blue arc goes well.

Ahh shit, I'm so not ready for what is about to come. This is going to be a shitstorm, and here i am praying that it goes original somewhere near the end (wich most likely won't happen at all). As for episode standards, yeah, this was good so far, this arc wasn't that bad tbh, but that's as far as it goes unfortunately. I'm actually curious to see how JC Staff will handle this season lol.

I personally loved this episode! There was a ton of great moments, and Soma and the Elite Ten kept being like themselves with a comeback-story how they usually do.
The new teacher is obviously being fleshed out to be a new antagonist so I'm curious as to how that will work out, and the BLUE arc will be a ton of fun!

But the episode later progressed until the end with "Shokugeki style", and thanks to the amazing soundtrack (I know the soundtrack for this season won't be new, but damn, I never get tired of hearing Shokugeki OST)


There's going to be new tracks. The composer confirmed that, I've heard 2 new tracks in today's episode and the soundtrack album from the previous season has to be released yet.

Looks like we're back into the thick of things with Food Wars! This time we're starting things off with a good old beach episode, a nice welcome treat which satisfies the senses in more ways then one as I gaze at my waifu in a swimsuit lol. Jokes aside, it was a nice and fun little episode. Shady guy seems to have something on his mind and this BLUE competition seems like the next trial for Souma and crew to overcome.

Don't know what that rich kid was thinking considering how he never won a fight before, but I guess you can't blame the guy for trying when the model of the school is based on unrestricted competition.

Oh I missed the fun times I had with you Food Wars. I have good expectations for you based off this episode.

Another contest to show who's the best

and for the first time in 5 season we see souma talks about his mother and they showed her ... I 99% sure that his mother has something to do with the suzuki (the new character)


No, I don't think so. If you look closely in the ending scene, it maybe Suzuki has something to do with Saiba when he was a kid.

Let the descent into false NTR hell begin. Say goodbye to all the great character dynamics and overarching plot points that was spread out over this entire series. The plot is about to get cucked. At least there was whole tiddies going around and randomly censored nude silhouettes. Nice to hear this series in Japanese again, the English dub airing on Toonami is beyond awful.
Don't believe the hype.

I feel like I was conned by the manga readers.I was in for a shitstorm but the episode was kinda enjoyable.Since it's Shokugeki we get the slideshow presentation as usual.I felt it was kinda fast paced.7/10 for now.Can't wait for "Za Blue" which is critically acclaimed by the manga readers.

That's definitely not the way I expected this fifth season to start! But it's a beach episode of sorts, so I can't complain after seeing Megumi and Alice in swimsuits!!

I really thought at first that this Suzuki guy had the voice of Machio-san... shame this is not the case! I don't like him though..

The place the Elite 10 has to use really is run down to it's core! They are the Elite 10 for a reason and managed to pull through!! Megumi was impressive, for someone who is easily shaken by her nerves, she managed to handle so much customers on her own! Best girl doing her best!!!

Now, I can't wait to see what this the Blue is going to be like!


This episode packed a lot of (too much?) bouncing, holy shit!

Good start, the shirt name and the massage chair was pretty funny.

Are we getting into the romance theme? I haven't read the manga, but it's light hearted so far. From what others have said, the anime had cut out the negative scenes.

I gonna watch this anime as it is til the last ep, then hit the manga to see how bad the uncut scenes are.

@starchild91 = @ithyphallic60 (same person)

I saw your review for the 1st ep on the anime main page, I got spoilers way beyond ep 1 from battle result # in the blue arc and learned who win/lose. I thought this was an anime forum. Please add the SPOILER tag at the beginning if you plan on discussing the manga. I can't revert what I already saw.

Anime and manga are separate products. *crying inside* qwq

That part was completely skipped by showing them in question of seconds at the end of the last season. This cut off Asahi's original introduction and honestly at this rate we don't even know if the Blue arc will have the og midnight chefs or just Erina Soma and Asahi in it.

They didnt skip it. They ended the last season with it. You probably forgot it since it was summarized in 2 minutes. Why did they took away the last moment Megumi had a chance to shine? Even after a year I am still salty about it. It was the best arc involving a Noir

I really don't care about that new teacher or whatever his plans are, why can't i just enjoy a cooking anime without there being some supervillain trying to take over. I really disliked Azami. If anyone has some good cooking anime to recommend, i would be grateful!

I wonder how J.C. will keep making small changes to hopefully improve this arc, as I noticed there were a couple of changes when looking back at the manga. Though it was a good start, I'm not setting my expectations high for this season.
