A really nice review that hit pretty much every important point. For myself I didn't find myself in any danger of getting bored even through the "slow" segments. As for fan service I had more fun watching Megumi being so freaked out that they had to draw her four times at once than I did of Mito-san's low-angle shot from the rear. I like fan service usually but it just really seemed a bit tacked on here. But what this episode really did was set up what we all know is coming -- what Soma figured out to pull out a win. The ending pretty much made it clear that he figured out something pretty fundamental. I can't imagine anyone seeing this episode and then skipping the next. The thing I can't figure out is how any set of judges, no matter how experienced, can pick winners and losers out of sixty independent dishes. How does someone eat that many -- even one bite each -- without barfing? |

Maybe they're specialy trained, or have lots of experience. Or it's not as hard as it seems, if the Food Network, Travel Channel, and Cooking Channel's seemingly random hosts for their foods-at-various-places shows is any indication. The county fair one on the Food Network has Anthony Anderson, who is otherwise not significantly involved in food or cooking, and he seems to eat like 12 things at these county fairs in one go.

They're not just tasting the food, they're watching it be cooked.

They are watching 30 different recipes being cooked simultaneously, and they can discern the attributes of each dish individually. It works for this story but in real life no way. |

Looks like Araki from Knight in the Area gave up soccer for Italian cooking.

appearance and smell can be misleading
it's the taste that is important

After this episode, I'm wondering about the pacing for the rest of the season. Unless they plan on skipping or glossing over some people, there are six more significant characters in Group B who need to go through judging (Megumi, Miyoko, Yoshino, Alice, and the Aldinis) and then there's still everyone in Group A left. If all of them get the same kind of spotlight in front of the judges as Nao and Hisako got in this episode (food description, tasting, reaction shots, etc.), it could be a tight squeeze fitting everyone in and still giving us some kind of ending in just three more episodes.

Assuming they continue to faithfully follow the manga, there are 8 chapters left of the preliminaries arc to cover. 8 chapters in 3 episodes is pretty typical pacing for a shounen adaptation, so I think we'll be okay. |

Considering this is a Shonen Jump adaptation it's possible it could go beyond 26 episodes.

I feel Like it has to, there's no way to wrap up the Elections in four episodes. I liked this episode, anything with Hisako is great, and White Nao is funny for the quick second and the ending. Also, am I the only one who thinks the glasses judge in Group B looks like Anton Ego, the critic from Ratatouille? |

not sure if it's official.... but i think this will be a 24 episodes series if they cut corner at this pace then there's nothing much to show..let alone season 2?? it's catching up to the manga in no time at this pace

Oh... you did not know Megumi is actually the protagonist?! The Mangaka just kept Soma around long enough to get the manga in Shonen Jump, he actually gets killed off next week in an anticlimactic freak knife accident, he was a throw away character to begin with! HaHaHa! I am kidding but Megumi is my favorite character in this show. |

I can 100% say wholeheartedly that Megumi is the absoulte best girl. I wouldn't have liked the series as much without her tenacity and modesty. Also I just love those character types more than I thought.
