In some ways, they had similar structures, I thought.
Two quirky, but powerful guys begrudging take in a down on her luck woman.
Then, there was the world building parts, they both try to add lore to their world by giving dialog to minor characters, usually with a distinct background. Bebop, I think does this better, since it is well...distinct.
I mentioned this.

1 minute of recap already, not super psyched about that. The show does still look pretty good however.
Despite poor subs missing a lot of sentences (wtf is going on?) episode was enjoyable. My favorite part was probably Vegeta riding on top of the Capsule Corp ship with arms crossed and Bulma flying it into the clouds and underwater spinning all the time and Vegeta not moving an inch.
Speaking of Vegata, holy shit. I don't think I've ever seen so much tsun-tsun from a male character before.
The reusing of old footage from the Buu Arc (actual reusing, it's the same footage) is kind of cool but also kind of weird?
So we still aren't getting this in the West right
Is such a thing even possible?
Yeah, I pretty much never notice this stuff and I noticed how off that shot looks.

I actually think this is the single worst piece of background art (and single worst shot) in the episode:
Not that I'm directly aware of.

Threw a little bit of cash at it. This project seems like a no brainer. Too bad with only 15 days left that this is the first I've heard of it.

Is Super Robot Wars Original Generation Complete Collection worth watching? I own the GBA games for it and kinda like it quite a bit. Also, mech fan here so, might be something I will watch if I have time.

This academy doesn't do much education, does it? it's just "Cook a perfect dish ordie be expelled!"
I suppose that fits with the ruthless weeding process that the school is proud of. Seriously, only 76 of 812 entering freshman make it to their second year? No real school could afford to be so brutal. An incredibly low graduation rate isn't considered a positive trait for an educational institution in reality.
On another note, are people going to be getting naked in every episode? (Outside the ED, of course.)

That seems extremely likely, unfortunately. I've backed it but, barring some kind of miracle (which can't happen with zero promotion) I doubt it will get funded. Which is kind of crazy considering how little money they are asking for such a large project. I mean, compared to some of these Kickstarters, asking for 130,000 euros for a 13 episode series is insanely good value. With even a half way decent campaign I'd expected them to make their goal. However it appears they've literally had no campaign.

No worries, it's an excellent watch and the source material is already done, so it shouldn't be a too long with the he success of S1.. That's what I was told, so it sounds very promising.

Have you seen the schools in shonen series? They're hardcore! There are actually classes but you don't really see much of them.

I know, it just amused me that the show was all "Welcome to high school! Now cook great food with absolutely no explanations given!" I understand that showing the tedium of actual high school classes wouldn't be very entertaining, but I do appreciate when series in a school setting occasionally drop some short glimpses of characters in class to show that, yes, there is actual education going on and the students aren't expected to be geniuses who need no further instruction. Because if they are the latter, they shouldn't be at a school in the first place. They should be off making their fortune.
Does this guy just walk around in public in nothing but an apron?

I don't know if this is a fair comment as they don't have a ton in common but I get a lot of Spice and Wolf vibes from this show. Maybe it's the music, maybe it has something to do with both
, or the way the show is slow paced but yet every episode feeling meaningful. It's really hard to put a finger on what makes the two feels so alike but regardless I am still immensely enjoying this. I am going to take a break for a few hours and watch something else but I really want to finish this show ASAP.

This high school campus is larger than any university campus anywhere. How do students even make it from their dorm to classes on time? There needs to be an internal bus system.
Oh, and I forgot to mention this earlier, but I appreciate the choral music that plays during the reaction scenes. It helps sell their ludicrously dramatic nature.

Think I may start on this show - I've heard great things. The manga isn't finished so I was trying to hold out, but screw it, the show looks great.

Guess the parents pay for the prestige of graduating form this 'school', not actually learning anything.
But I kind of appreciate this ludicrous regimen in that place. Going over the top is where this show excels at after all and it thankfully doesn't take itself serious in that regard whatsoever.

These aren't really spoilers, but I think Totsuki has a middle school and that's where they do real teaching. The high school is basically the place to put all your skills to test or if you transfer in, already a built-in beast.
For Soma's school, I imagine for a lot of students they already go in with the knowledge to graduate or not. When almost every event is a pass or be expelled, that doesn't really conduct itself towards a healthy teaching environment for both students and teachers. There seems to be the assumption that you are already a pretty good cook now and the whole thing is more just weeding out bad apples.

Yeah, there is a middle school division
And Soma's group of friends is nearly all the top of the class first year people, most of the expelled people are unnamed scrubs like usual. Erina is still levels above them though

Just briefly looking over the aforementioned Kickstarter's publicly available information and it looks like they've literally had their most backers today?
That, er, really suggests they need to get the word out. I can't even find an article on the French langauge animation site Catsuka. It shocks me that they couldn't at least get an article there.

Hm... Looks like it's just for making the first episode. And there'll be game parts between the episodes since they're making it for mobile phones with 3 different endings.
Only £13 for Kaguya? Guess I'll buy it then.

I noticed the lack of teaching thing in Soma as well. Totsuki seems less of place to learn about cooking than it is a place to put whatever cooking skills you have to the test to earn you some high recognition in the food world upon graduation.
There's supposed to be a reversible cover? I didn't see anything like that in the product description.
So it's what Harvard's business school should be like.

It would probably help if their Kickstarter page was actually written by someone with a fluent understanding of English!
You're their biggest asset, haha.
I don't even understand, Shimizu is actually going to a convention next month. Like why not go to the convention and announce it there, that way you get some publicity. I doubt ANN's even wrote an article on them.
This should have had no problem getting to $130k which is absurdly low. Why is it $130k unless there are a ton of other investors involved?

Yeah. Not sure if the gameplay bit(s) will be in-between episodes or in-between parts of the first episode. Oh, and they're gonna show it in space as well? Guess some astronaut is gonna bring it there?
Looks like mine is okay then, I just checked. Thanks for mentioning it!
At least it's by Satelight who have experience creating things that'll never come out over here.

If Harvard was a reality TV show.
Come to think of it, Soma is pretty much one of those cooking reality shows that fill TV schedules these day. I wouldn't be surprised if there are secret cameras filming the students everywhere on campus so their cooking battles can be broadcast to a national audience.

Based on some stuff in the manga, I feel like it's implied that even if they fail in the high school, most of them will still get pretty decent jobs as chefs.

I haven't read through the KS page yet but I will say that when a KS asks for what seems like an unreasonably small amount of money to do something, that's usually a pretty big red flag unless they have already secured outside funding or the KS is mostly to fund the "final polish" of the project.
