No he hasn't shown yet that he is better. He has only shown that he is able to cook good.
You are also not supposed to like her if you don't like Tsun Tsun characters. She gets cute later on in the manga.

Interesting that the ending showed the Berseria protagonist a bit. I know they take place in the same universe, but I wonder if that means she'll be showing up in this anime as well, and if so, how?

How long is it? Shinkai seems to do better when he's more focused with a concise film.

Adaptations tend to be half assed since their goal is to simply promote the manga so that the manga would get a boost in sales in general.
I read your post in Fisk's voice, lmao
Ok, so, continuing on from the last ep, I actually think they really fucked up Erina as an intro opponent.
Because, as I already said, Soma already beat her first challenge to the point that her pride actively got in the way of her job. So already she's a hypocrite and a liar which really gets in the way of her whole prideful act. If you're trying to be a prideful villain in a Shonen story then unless you're a joke you need to actually be able to back that up. Instead we're just being told that she's good with no real evidence that that's the case, since the viewer can't actually taste the food.
The reason I think this is a problem isn't because I don't like her though, it's because she's actively taking down other characters. Mito could have been a great intro to the cook offs but, knowing that Soma has to win or else he'll be expelled and the series will be over, it's kind of a joke. She's Erina's underling which just means she's worse than Erina, so there's no tension.
Despite all my bitching though, it's only because I am loving this show. It's managed to apply a Shonen type plot to a non fighting anime, which is always something I can appreciate. Most of the characters are great and the fanservice is (usually) being used in a way that's actually funny rather than creepy (that tentacle stuffs still pretty gross though).
I'm sure I'll be complaining about it again soon, but it's the only way I know to show that I care.

They are fighting; it's just through cooking instead of physically beating each other up.

At the very least, looking forward to the visuals of "Your Name", not expecting much from the plot though. I've seen three of Makoto Shinkai's movies: 5 Centimeters Per Second, The Place Promised in Our Early Days and Garden of Words.
I thought 5cm was terrible for the most part, The Place Promised in Our Early Days was very boring but Garden of Words was pretty straight.

It looks fantastic. No way around that.
I believe it, must be some gorgeous backgrounds in there.

I didn't expect a good adaptation from a webtoon, but it was quite good and had a good pace.

Can we conclude that Sakamoto is from Mars?

I love tsundere characters, but god, I hate Erina. She is horrible. At least the anime blessed us with best girl Megumin.

The later half of these episodes have been pretty disappointing though. I'm generally a fan of these kind of expeditions and seeing weird underground creatures, but this seems like something that would happen around the half-point of the show, not on the climax. The show just seems to keep dragging the inevitable final confrontation. The uneasiness of a powerful stalker is now gone, as they have wasted 2-3 episodes saying "I smell them, they're coming.", but the enemy is surely taking their time. Also, the whole thing with the "Psycho Buster" seems kind of dumb. The show did a great job foreshadowing a lot of future stuff, but unless I missed something or it hasn't been shown yet, this seems like the definition of a deus ex machina, which kind of sucks.
The first few of these episodes were excellent. The show always seemed dark, but there's nothing worse than war, so I guess this is its peak. First time humanity actually loses and it's just insane how much death there is. Some scenes were hard to stomach, like the infant abduction. And the hospital scene had me on the edge all the time. It's ironic that Saki saved that monstrosity, things would be different now. Oh, also, I'm actually surprised that the "ogre" is
LOCAL RAT RUINS EVERYTHING
Maria's and Mamoru's child, I expected it to be an insane and vengeful Maria, but it makes sense because of the time skips. RIP Mamoru and Maria.

Puzzle & Dragons Cross has the best OP, uverworld delivers the best song so far.
Morose Mononokean, Zestiria, and Puzzle & Dragons Cross have been the best shows of the season.

Puzzle & Dragons Cross Episode 1
Excellent character design for Ace and Lance. The Dragon Caller seems like a interesting occupation and filled with various monsters that I just cant wait to see. Ace having an ability to summon drops when needed makes him a great asset to Lance's powerful dragons.
I also like how serious the story is with a SDF, potential baddies summoning dragons, and then the random Drop's that could endanger everyone. I hope the big plot is introduced next episode to send our favorites on a journey of epic proportions.
ED has some pretty awesome moments too. Fell in love with it instantly. Its going to be hard for any anime this season to compare to this episode one.Pierrot once again delivers!

Chihayafuru 4 (Rewatch)
Using a wafting cherry blossom pedal to smoothly visually transition from young Chihaya and Taichi saying goodbye to Arata to older Chihaya brooding silently on the train across from Taichi - that's the sort of visualization that gets me invested.

There was a group picture of the seiyus and they really look like they were a loving family.
It's very sweet.

Since shows with Re in their names tripled compared to last season, it's only natural to extrapolate that they'll take over the whole seasonal grid by winter.

Well I gotta say that was certainly entertaining. They jumped right into the action pretty quickly and left on a nice cliffhanger and make me want to watch again next week.

It really is quite good. I happened to really like the world-building in particular, and the chemistry between the cast is great! Hell, I even got the platinum for it and still plan on replaying it for a fourth time later this year before Cold Steel 2 hits.
I will say that after you finish Cold Steel, finishing FC/SC will fill in a ton of blanks and change how you see many of the events of Cold Steel.

So that was probably the most fucked episode yet, in a "good" way I think the downward trend of late has been at least held off for a week. Subaru thinks he's this grand savior that can fix everything on his own and is Emilia's only hope, then seeing the village and mansion destroyed. Clearly Subaru is already gone but seeing Rem like that and the villagers brutally killed, with god knows what waiting for him in the mansion. Surely a rewind is going to be waiting for him soon, if he's lucky, and regardless of whether or not he gets it it's going to be interesting to see him try to bounce back from this one.

Stop, stop! He's already dead!
Other than this scene, meh. The show feels like it could be divided into two parts. Some reasonably well done aspects, and the FUCKING ANIME aspects. Awkward anime humor, uncomfortable direction, bad CG.
