    HS - Episode 04

    --------------------------------------




















    Given how much of a bitch Erina's been thus far, I have to say Megumi > Erina right now. Great stuff again. I was getting worried when the granny went to taste his stuff, but they managed to make it okay. Guess we all grow old.

    Again, squid works wonders.

    Regarding the composed steak, I was skeptical about it for a long time. Then one day my honey prepared some with salmon for a fish burger and I was really surprised how good it turned out to be.
    I did not wet my pants, but it was good enough for me to crave for more.
    The ep felt short, good point. I would really like having 2 or 3 eps a week.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    Damn, despite reading the manga, I didn't even remember the naked appron dude belongs to the Top Ten. Considering Erina's unfortunately useless personality, it's no good for the school that she's among the Top Ten and thus possesses more power than teachers and other staff, aside from the director. She was even kicking somebody like Yukihira out solely due to the fact she didn't like him personally (as if she liked anybody at all, by the looks of it).

    Kinda boring episode. We get it, Soma can make delicious stuff out of thin air. Okay. I´m more interested in the real competitions at school.

    Megumi continues to be both hot and cute. Unfortunately, it appears to be set in stone for this kind of anime that the hero will choose Erina-bitch for his girlthing. meh.

    The first fictional loli that made me fall for her

    I was moderately surprised they kept in Ryouko's illegally brewed sake and the resulting underaged drinking. That's something consistently cut out of manga for the anime adapations.

    It was just "fermented rice juice" though. Har har har.

    Also Fumio's flashback. Hrrrrng.

    An ep you easily forget though.

    I guess expectations where way too high and we have to tone it down quite a bit. It's a shame though, because competitive shonen anime works well with simple recipe that can be reused quite a bit.

    Congrats on the translation, editing, and TL check of Crunchyroll.

    There's no way fish skin will remain crisp for that long if you doust it with liquid. Crackling, whether pork, chicken, or fish, must be kept dry if you want to keep its crunchy texture. I'd get it if Souma simply topped the dish with crisp skin, but he specifically mentioned that serving it wet will lead to a different experience. ...A soggy experience.

    And ochazuke is all about soggyness...So here we have mackerel onigiri ochazuke ? And again one of the elites thinks poorly of a dish, like if it was some burger.
    But his dish was also very common and way too simple by usual gourmet standards. Thing is, the more simple the dish, the more difficult it is to make it good and surprise people.
    Regarding commoners dishes, bourguignon falls in that category too. It's only a question of how frequent it is in the region you live I guess.

    Back to ochazuke, I like the version with raw fish on top (maguro for example) that changes color when you pour the hot liquid on it.

    I have a feeling Ibusaki is a bit of a hot shot himself as well, given how they talked on the balcony.

    Anyway, props to the slap-in-the-face imagery.

    Even if the sumo wrestlers' cooking club was stagnant and degenerate, I can hardly see why Erina would need to bulldoze their club room to build her own. The school seems to possess a whole mountain and surrounding lands, so space isn't exactly premium commodity there. Of course her talk with the sidekick suggested she's actually on a crusade to get rid of everybody she doesn't approve (which probably means everybody but herself and the grandfather), but in that case why would she need the excuse to erase the building to get the plot? She's just a mega bitch.

    She thinks the room is better served for her productive research than the sumo club's non-productive research. They're wasting the school's budget.

    The cook-off is a test. If they are fit enough to survive they will.

    No, it was still a proper club with many members, even if they had failed to cultivate themselves as innovative cooks. Now the building got destroyed and Erina will build in its place a new one to serve as her personal kitchen extension. Now that's what one would call a waste of budget.

    A member of the Elite Ten challenging random people isn't really a test, it's just bullying. But then again, we have already seen that Erina is a proper bully in addition to being a bitch.

    I assumed it was more about location convenience than anything else, including her pride and arrogance.

    The school seems to own several mountains, and even a place as formerly prestigious as the Polar Star dorm is very distant from the main part of campus.

    Why should Erina-sama be forced to walk or be driven to another part of campus to cook whenever she feels like trying out a new dish?

    That was a strange sight, seeing the senpai not orgasm on Souma's food right away but say "no, not quite". Even his regular school friends were able to do that back in episode 01. That sounds like Souma's secret menus were more or less his perfected works despite how he seemed to improvise with scraps according to his onlookers.

    It's not like he'll lose a Shokugeki anyway, that'd mean he's out of the school. Ironically a less dire wager would be more exciting.

    Souma's menus weren't his. They were Yukihira's. They were ripping off Yakitate Japan except for that difference, but now it goes to more Souma-original territory.

    I just went to Animeminneapolis and a "bad anime panel" there basically unanimously declared this show as horrible because of the food rape.

    They are using the manga as a script. So there's no element of surprise at all.The only bonus in such case is godly voice acting and animation. But this is plain boring and vulgar. I love fanservice and sex references. But here, it's more like bad porn.
    Also, following the manga to the letter creates an unpleasant rythm.
    Maybe I'm hard on that show because of some expectations I should'nt have in the first place.

    I have no such problems with this show. Sure, I might prefer a bit less fanservice, which would then be sparingly saved for really meaningful events, but it doesn't break the show for me as it is currently.

    All in all I like how strong Soma is, yet he still must work hard. Actually he enjoys working hard. His attitude is also quite nice for an anime MC, even though the school is full of arrogant and self-assured people. The difference is that he wouldn't lick the footprints of the likes of Erina 'Bitch' Nakiri.

    Man, Nikumi's sizes are all over the place. Or they have some very clever angles to they use.
    But yeah, Soma uses his dad's recipes that he can make just as good. He has the creativity but not the level of skill that his dad has.

    Anyway you'd think since his dad made these amazing dishes he'd be more known in the cooking world. But Yukihara doesn't ring a bell to anyone. So most likely changed his last name when he got married.

    I don't think so. When you know more and have more skills, your creativity is also boosted. Soma has lived all his life in Japan, so he would know nothing of great many things out there in the wide world. He might know some exotic (in Japan) things his dad tried back at the restaurant, but considering it was a place for affordable food, I doubt his dad used overly much imported stuff. However, go to India or Europe, and you would find everywhere stuff that would be rare in Japan (or vice versa). Soma is still highly lacking in that sense.

    Not known by whom? The kids? I don't think the Nakiri geezer overruled Erina's decision to refuse Soma's admission into the school just to piss off his granddaughter. No matter what Soma's old man did in the past, for as long as Soma has been living (which is also about as long as the other students have lived) the man has mostly spent his time with Soma in the whatever town they were living in. I guess he would travel every now and then (don't remember if it was mentioned), but since he's now travelling, why not before? If he mainly travelled abroad to do some cooking, it's natural few of the students would know of him.
