Then vegtable chef graduates in the top 10, heads to France and is treated like rookie scum by all the pro chefs.

Anyway, the most obvious reading is that no one really cares about Tootsuki except Japan, and it's always been portrayed as top-class because the characters only really care about Japan anyway. Like, everything makes more sense if you just mentally add "in Japan" to any superlative about the school. It's only logical that a professional French chef isn't going to care much about someone who learned French cooking in Japan. Perhaps France has its own super-school too.

blizzardvizard posted:is shokugeki still bad That depends on when you last thought Shokugeki was good I still enjoy it every week but I don't expect a lot from it beyond wacky food battles, T&A, and manservice. I don't think it'll ever be as good as it was during the Autumn Elections or the Moon Festival though.

Shokugeki was still good back when we got Megumin to gently caress up a gaijin dark chef with her hospitality.

An arc where some American school tries to buy out and conquer Tootsuki, a regional/international student chef competition, and so on. It'd be a lot more conventional in terms of shonen plot ladders, but it'd be a lot less prone to requiring ever greater amounts of disbelief suspension.

I don't think blue here is perfect but the absurdity of "dark chefs" is good and the format is sofar better than 1on1 food duels

And honestly, if Azami was a less serious villain and the shokugeki wasn't just a series of duels, it would've been lots better

I'm going to imagine that the only times there were high points during the central arc is because Rindou was there. But overall, yeah, mood in graph form.

Yeah, that pretty much tracks. I'd say the stuff after the central arc has been better than that, but I think a lot of ppl are just tired of the comic, myself included. Still enjoying food yugioh atm

The first year was all about cool cooking and cool kids at food-Hogwarts. Something changed after the Autumn elections...

M_Gargantua posted:The first year was all about cool cooking and cool kids at food-Hogwarts. People keep SAYING this but as someone who went for a reread recently it's just not true. It was a thinly disguised battle manga right from the very start. The entire core concept of the series is the Shokugekis, so I just have no idea what people think they're remembering about this series that isn't endless rival fights. I guess early on there were more classes but even they were sort of battle-like.

The very obvious difference in character growth vs straight food battles. How much character growth did you get in the battle against the elite 10? Now think about vs Nikumi, or the first night in polar star. In the early days the food battles were a shonnen veneer over a character focused friendly rivalry. Now it’s cooks for your life with almost no personal moments or character growth. I’m of the opinion that in retrospect Erina learning that Joe is Soma’s was the peak and the friendly 3v3 on the train was a last hurrah of what the story used to be about. The stakes got raised to far, the friendly cool cast got pushed aside for bigger and showier character who are undeveloped villains that will be defeated in 10 chapters by cooking harder. It’s bleach again.

The instant? I really did like Erina’s reaction to him. His reaction to learning that Soma is the son of his idol. And thebi started to dislike him narratively after that. If they had come up with a better evil villain scheme it could have gone differently.

Even the Central arc has shining moments like Rindou and Mimasaka's increased presence. Also the thread freaking out over IT'S JUST A FOUR CHEESE PIZZA is still funny to me.
