Este animé es una explosión de shonen en su forma mas prístina. La animación es muy buena y me gusta mucho la forma que tienen de hacer homenaje al manga original respetando la cultura de esa época. En lo personal detesté al protagonista por ser absurdamente tosco y terco a morir!!! Espero que se le pase...

What I love on top of the consistent intensity fron start to finish is the unique narration at the end and the disclaimers. That’s something you don’t see everyday haha!

Now this is how you make a first episode. The characters is insane, the pacing is insane, This puts most of the new show this season to shame. It's a direct proof that modern manga doesnt necessary means good, and you should never dismiss old anime, you never know what you havent experience yet!

No wonder watching this anime felt nostalgic, the OG source is from a manga made in 1995. One of the standout moments for me was the warning shown at the end of the episode. Why? Because it makes it clear that the adaptation intends to stay faithful to the source material without omitting content or altering it to fit modern censorship trends. That commitment to preserving the original work is something I really appreciate. FUIYOH!!, I can't wait for the next episode!!

P.S. All those episodes and chapters reading Shokugeki no Soma paid off since I understood most of the technical things that the chef are talking about in this episode😅

I am actually starving after seeing how Jan cooked that pork liver with the vodka fire and milk soak

Jan is such a jerk, and seeing him spit out that mediocre fried rice made me laugh because he was right about the seasoning

Jan catching that red hot wok with his sleeves was so smooth and he looked so bored while doing it

that vodka flambe scene looked so cool and it was crazy to see the kitchen light up like that and jan using milk to clean pork liver was a smart move

I can not believe Jan just walked in and spit out that rice and he really is a jerk but the way he deep fried tofu for his dish was actually genius

It really annoyed me when Mochizuki tried to burn Jan with that wok, but Jan using his long sleeves to catch it was the coolest thing I have seen all week.

I've been waiting since I saw the trailer and my god did it not disappoint. It will be an amazing story.

Anime memasak yang over the top. Sudah lama rasanya aku tidak menonton anime seperti ini. Aku juga sangat suka desain karakternya yang terasa retro, tetapi tetap terlihat seperti anime modern. Makanan yang ditampilkan pun dibuat dengan sangat detail, ditambah berbagai trivia kuliner yang cukup menarik. Sayangnya, tidak ada reaksi berlebihan saat para karakter mencicipi makanannya, padahal itu biasanya menjadi salah satu daya tarik anime memasak seperti ini. Meski begitu, secara keseluruhan aku penasaran ingin melihat anime ini akan berkembang ke arah mana.

EPISODE CONTEXT

As the series opener, this episode has no prior installment to build from — it is the foundation. It introduces the central rivalry between Jan and Kiriko, the core tension between ruthless innovation and tradition-rooted craftsmanship, and the institutional setting that will frame future culinary showdowns. Everything that follows this episode will grow directly from the conflict and character dynamics established here.
