Kinda reminds me of Season 2 of The Asterisk Wars, just jumping into things where they left off.

The pacing was pretty fast, but I am okay with it. Not because I don't think it could use a bit more time on things, but because I don't feel like I would WANT to spend more time on this tournament considering they just came out of a tournament the last few episodes of last season. I think it's a smart play on their part to avoid turning the whole arc into "Shokugeki No Soma: That One Tournament". If the whole arc was spent on a 8 or so match tournament, I'd argue they might as well have made it a special movie or something and kicked off somewhere else.

Doesn't mean that people still can't have their grievances with the pacing.

Exactly. Every single person who saw season 1 expected 2 cour because to do everything they wanted to do in 13 episodes is a horrible idea. The pacing is everything you didnt want with this story because most of what made this good was ruined by the fact that you rushed the story. It'll deliver and be good but allowing it to expand over 24 episodes makes it great.

I imagine production staff often have to live with the number of episodes they're given to work with, whether that's the ideal number for the story they're trying to tell or not.

No, he wins on accuracy. His dish more accurately depicted what a bento should be like, whereas Alice's was generic enough to be eligible for a completely different theme. Furthermore, it was apparently fun to eat...and eating should be a pleasure.

Nope, Souma showed more skill because he wholeheartedly understood the theme of the dish and depict it accurately.

I think the difference is that Alice is basically “just” compressed an incredible meal into a box, while Souma managed to bring the most (fun elements) out of the bento theme with a cooking which tastes just as incredible. No matter how much you show your cooking skill in this match, if you do not complement the theme, you won’t get max result. At least that’s what I understand from the episode.

Ah, the Jojo reference this week. Simply amazing. Also, glad to see more of Alice's background story.

I have to admit i find it comical. How could you screw up the first one so easily and yet manage to do this one well. It had everything you'd expect for this show. Well done

As the Wikipedia article notes, Umami is a loan word from Japanese and is recognized as a scientific term for a particular taste. I remember the term coming up in a (not particularly technical) English language article about attempts to improve airline food. It's used by more than just hardcore Japanophiles.

Now I know why people say "this is a COOKING manga/anime". We had a few moments last time, but not like this. And yes, umami is the standard term for the factor. Not because of some stupid Japanophilia, but because the person who discovered it was Japanese. People had talked about umami for a long time, but there had been debate as to whether this was an actual "taste" like sweetness, bitterness, sourness, etc. or just a product of specific combinations thereof. Eventually though it was proved by a Japanese researcher that it was indeed unique from these. Said researcher personally came up with the name "umami". If it'd been found in an English-speaking country it'd be called "savoriness", but it wasn't.

Plenty of English loan words in other languages, if that makes you feel better.
