Furious Lobster posted:Casanova's is up and I'm curious what the differences are between that and the Viz one. I thought Souma would have learned more cooking techniques from his father since much was made of his using poêle in one of the earliest chapters. Also, I guess that his visible mark on Shino's is to have his new dish chosen for the menu from one of his earlier failures. He only knows techniques that were useful in the context of his dad's restaurants and doesn't know their names nor how they are used in the context of their original cuisines. Breadth rather than depth basically Edit: Did they change the name for the school, or is it just a different reading of the kanji or something? Edit2: yup, google translate will show totsuki for 遠月 and engetsuten for 遠月点, the latter of which is also a Chinese phrase related to lunar orbit. Wonder which one is actually correct for this gwrtheyrn fucked around with this message at 09:40 on Apr 4, 2015 |

While you might be right, lunar orbit as in orbit around the moon not the moon around the earth. It's the equivalent of apogee, the most distant part of the orbit. Also, I asked a friend who is japanese, and he said "engetsu probably. literal translation being "forever moon," but who the gently caress actually knows. I assume they've actually established which one it is in japan since this has been out for ages, and one of the two groups (casanova/scanlators or subbers/CR) is incredibly lazy. I wonder which one it is

I just watched the first episode and it was pretty alright. The food and the cooking was animated well, so they've got the most important part down. Though I might skip the next few episodes because I was really unimpressed by the first 5 or so chapters of the manga. The episode did remind me of how unrepresentative of the rest of the series the plot of the first chapter is. It's kind of weird.

I'm a little disappointed in the author recently. He seems to have lost the "rules" that he put down for his own universe. One of the reasons why Souma was such a "genius" was that his dad taught him the base techniques so that he didn't have to learn them. All he had to do was actually learn what they were named and what they were for. This arc would be more ... consistent? ... if it were about learning coordination with other people (which he doesn't do much of--although Megumi arc showed he could do that too ...) rather than baseline cooking techniques (which, presumably, his father has already taught him). It just feels like Souma is getting *less* competent rather than moreso as things progress.

So I'll give you burdock, and I'll admit I don't really know that much about food, but I'm not sure loving carrots have been forgotten by the west. (I also can't find anything in English supporting that story about WW2 prisoners but I also didn't look very hard)

buzmeg posted:I'm a little disappointed in the author recently. He seems to have lost the "rules" that he put down for his own universe. But this part of the arc isn't about basic techniques. Perhaps it needs more emphasis, but this environment is completely different to those in Restaurant Yukihira. Not only are the other chefs using cooking terms that Soma has never encountered before (which makes sense), the cooking is not based on orders coming in. The chefs have to prepare courses so that they come out at the exact right time, which requires a lot more forethought and planning. I wouldn't say that Soma is getting less competent. Rather, the manga is exposing us (and Soma) to more and more aspects of cooking. DoubleDonut posted:(I also can't find anything in English supporting that story about WW2 prisoners but I also didn't look very hard) It's mentioned briefly in Wikipedia, but there's no citation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctium_lappa edit: There are some sources in the Japanese version of the page (12 and 13) http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%B4%E3%83%9C%E3%82%A6 tobeannouncd fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Apr 9, 2015 |

buzmeg posted:I'm a little disappointed in the author recently. He seems to have lost the "rules" that he put down for his own universe. The cooking techniques he's been learning this arc is french cuisine which seems more specialised and well exotic, than what his father probably would've taught him, so i'm okay with it. I actually kind of liked that the main thing he seemed to be learning this arc was how to deal with working in a class restaurant environment because one of his greatest strengths was always his experience working at Yukihara, and this kind of showed that he still had stuff to learn on the practical experience front as well. Anyway, next chapter seems like it's going to be incredibly important because it seems to be building towards Soma creating his own speciality. Which is a pretty significant thing in terms of the themes the manga has been presenting because the reason he lost the Autumn tournament is because his cooking wasn't entirely his own but based on his father rather than having an independently developed style. So this is a big deal although I have no idea what happened in this arc to inspire him to discovering a specialty, but hey

No, Souma would be able to nail it if they used a term to cut the fish the right cut that he already knew. The hurdle for Souma is working in a kitchen and knowing instantly what terms refer to what in a different language. His sleepless night consisted of him memorizing what terms mean what so the second they shout it he can put it up without hesitation, as well as knowing what to prepare in advance. Also, he's the outsider in a closely knit team, so he would obviously have problems adapting to their style and methods instantly. Being able to do it in 3 days is a sign of how talented and adaptable Souma is, plus he's willing to ask for help at every turn until he's caught up. Someone like Erica in the same position (as good as she is, working in a Michelin star kitchen means she's working with peers, all of whom have much more working experience) would just refuse to ask for help and struggle and/or fail.

It's probably going to be a call-back to that egg dish he made for Erina or something like that. A dish he's made before that he incorporated french tecnhiques and flavors into. It's been a while since I read the first few chapters, but in the anime Erina's seething hatred of Soma seems to consist of "he wasn't born into privilege and even though he's skilled he must be destroyed so other commoners know their place"

It's not so much that he wasn't born into privilege so much as his demeanor and background combined--she doesn't apparently have problems with tadokoro even though her background is even more meager than Soma's, but Tadokoro also doesn't antagonize Erina. She also had no problem with ridiculing all of the people who ran away pentyne posted:It's probably going to be a call-back to that egg dish he made for Erina or something like that.

Then she actually tasted his dish and found out it was delicious and now hates him forever and wants him out of the school because she cannot admit to herself that she was wrong.

Naked Apron Senpai is a cool dude, worthy of respect. But yeah, it seems like Erina will be getting some more focus going forward, her and Arato still need to become buddies again. Hopefully she just won't interact with Soma too much, that's when she's at her most annoying.
