I've been reading the Food Wars manga and man, the quality really dips in the Blue arc. Characters win competitions but you don't find out what they made and it introduces gimmick knives with unrealistic abilities (repeating the same gimmick of blades coated with seasonings.) Also it is very stupid to finish an arc where the villain was a character's father by having one of the villains of the next arc that same character's mother.

IIRC they temporarily lost their food consultant around that time and it really shows.

That did happen, yes. The series really went downhill because of it, but I can't blame all the everything else on just that.

Akane-banashi: A really cute cooling down chapter, I love these dorks. It's nice to see Kyoji come back to be a good older brother figure, since he was the first one to teach Akane the ropes, and nice to see the playboy guy fleshed out a lot more, especially with him telling Akane that she should pick up an understanding of other artistic disciplines, because it does make sense that having a broader spectrum of skills can bolster her rakugo. Lookin' forward to the conversation between Akane and Shiguma, and to see if it'll give us more details on the relationship between Issho and Shiguma. Elusive Samurai: Honestly that 2D fan is the strongest character in this entire manga, holy poo poo. I also like how the chapter shows how utterly two-faced the Justice Guy's justice is - he's willing to murder the enemy over assumed slights but his own allies are allowed to commit war crimes and underhanded acts and get off with slight punishment. I hope he gets that legit thrown into his face before he dies. Ginka & Gluna: Got me interested enough to keep reading for now! Mashle: Honestly I dug this chapter, from the flashback with the pudding to the overly-extreme can badge protection cliche. Me and Roboco: Enjoyable chapter. Sakamoto Days: I wonder who Rio is??????

Was mostly focusing on the skip showing the dishes made part, but yeah can't blame the loss of the food consultant on the villain with the creepy bad motivation whose power is literally just Chrollo from HxH except terrible.

You can tell things were going off the rails with the introduction of all the crime chefs who are said to be the best and then they're almost all taken out off screen. Also Asahi almost feels like he's just Mimasaka redux seeing as his "crossed swords" is very similar to "perfect trace" even down to taking the knives of those he defeats.

What's the nickname for the incesty dude (the one that's not Erina's dad), I know Erina's dad was Food Hilter, does incest boy have a catchy nickname too?

If you do give up on soma chapter 311 is a good chapter that can stand on its own and was clearly planned from day 1 so it's worth it. (Mimasaka was definitely my favorite character, hacking the shokugeki format was such an ideal villain power)

ZepiaEltnamOberon posted:What the poo poo. It's an inherited joke from the Dragonball fandom that fit way too well with the scenario Food Wars got itself in - an inexplicably OP new villain who poses themselves as a secret older, stronger sibling to the current top dog. Got even funnier with the half-sibling reveal.

Yeah at first he's called Soma's brother but that isn't actually true and then they just reveal that he's Erina's half brother. Which makes the part where he's trying to marry her super weird. Something that the ending did that surprised me was how even with the time skip it didn't romantically pair up anybody. Although the series was always kind of weird with how horny the art would get but none of the characters were that interested in each other that way.

Akane Banashi continues to be good, but I really wish that the dad was more of a character in the present day. We still haven't seen him since the first chapter, we still don't know how he feels about Akane's training at all. I was mostly fine with this before, it is her story and not his, after all. However, knowing that she trains under his old dream master makes it feel very odd thst he's not more involved. How did he react when he heard she's training under him? Does he even know he's her master? Does he even know she's doing rakugo? Again, not his story, I get it. But the way Akane is talking, it's like her dad is dead lol. "I think I'm starting to understand how my dad felt" - couldn't she just, like, talk to him and ask? lol. Hope I'm not forgetting some detail like he left their family or lives overseas now or something, but still - cell phones exist.

I'm kind of curious how both Akanebanashi and Show-ha Shoten will progress in the future, since it seems like there are a limited number of "development arcs" you can go through. Both series have recently gone through "learning to account for the type of audience" and "learning to account for preceding acts" development, and in Akane's case she also has very strong technical fundamentals to begin with. Show-ha Shoten has a bit more room, since the protagonist sucks at performance and his partner has no talent for writing comedy (though it's not clear why he needs it, since it seems fine for one guy to do the writing), plus the whole "monthly series" element that means it can afford to go slower. It also has the "dealing with Higashikata's past" issue to deal with at some point. I'm curious to see Guriko (I think that was his name? the first disciple who shows up) perform in Akanebanashi at some point. I think he's the only fellow disciple where we don't know his performance style. We also haven't seen the womanizer guy perform, but it seems pretty obvious that his thing is "including music performance" or something along those lines.

I guess it could simply be understood as "it's awkward/uncomfortable to bring this topic up with him." Ytlaya fucked around with this message at 19:20 on Sep 19, 2022 |

Ginka/gluna was awesome, keep it up! Pretty sure I'm done with demon bride. The chapter really didn't do much for me to keep my interest but a definite nail was the main character letting us know he isn't a blood relative to either of his sisters.

I think it's also important that like... in context what she's saying is that she didn't get her dad's motivations until she went through similar experiences herself something that talking alone wouldn't have fixed. Though the way the dad is kind of treated as 'dead' after expulsion is pretty funny, ngl.
