SHOKUGEKI NO SOMA:

>>145551492
Yes. Kill Azami and expel Megumi.

>>145551492
Hisako being in that group makes no sense. She even LOOKS out of place.

>>145551492
Remove Meat, Megumi, and Azami.

>>145552509

After Hisako's Stagiere with Soma she's determined to become more than just Erina's shadow after the pep-talk he gave her.

That panel's just a reflection of that change in her character, the real out of place one there is Mimisaka, he's just copying everybody else to fit in

Kill Azami.
Make Erina and Soma a couple.
Stop making the risks "oh no they are gonna get expelled" because that's obviously never gonna happen.
Go to internationals after E10 and Azami are defeated.

>>145552664
No no I get the whole conviction part, she wasn't just one of the "intense" types of personalities to begin with. It doesn't suit her. When she puts on her game face she looks serious instead of intense, the panel of her chopping off the turtle head illustrated that perfectly.

Is Erina going to use the shoujo manga as a relationship guide

>>145553085
She's only in a state of enjoying his company now, only when this is all over will she start having real feelings for him. Then, she'll probably spaghetti all over the place without knowing what to do, maybe ask Alice who'll tell her some dumb bullshit. Of course, this is a shonen manga, so none of this will get the focus and it'll only conclude in the epilogue.

Will we get spoilers earlier the next week? You can just be on break when it's becoming kinda interesting again.

>>145552918
It's so boring though that this always happens. I don't care too much about the dumb pairing wars but I would like to be surprised for once in a mainstream manga. Tired of the main chick always winning. That shit's overdone to death. Been too long since I finished TWGOK.

>>145552664
Stagiere was so long ago though. Her character hasn't really developed at all since then. The most she got was being allowed to leave Erina's side during break. Big fucking deal. I even feel like Megumi more now. There are panels where you see her cook and she feels stronger but Hisako just feels like she's along for the ride.

>>145553496

Bleach spoilers hit Satunurday, any reason not to assume the same for SnS?

>>145553383

I really hope Erina doesn't spaghetti, and you're right that that's possible and holy shit would it suck if it were true.

As far as Shonen mangas go though, the relationship has gotten a ton of focus compared to other series, it's pretty much central and you can see them tracing out the blueprint they followed in the prologue chapter for it.

Also go read the prologue chapter, it's amazing how much worse Soma looks in it and how qt beta Erina is.

>>145554115
>Bleach spoilers hit Satunurday, any reason not to assume the same for SnS?
Yeah, but the next ep of sns isnt the finale of one of the big 3 of the jump.

After the last chapter with the lots of interactions I just want the comfy valentine's arc where everyone gets laid that will never happen. Thanks Azami

>>145554827

Please, Christmas is a whole 2 months sooner

>>145551492
Remove Megumi, and make sure Erina is on every panel. If Erina for some reason can not be on a panel, all the other characters should be asking "Where's Erina"?

>>145554536
I never got into any of them because they were just so dauntingly long with no end in sight either, will one piece be ending soon too? I might actually read them all once they've all ended.

We should ask him more stuff. Actually important stuff, not inane shit.

>>145557253
Then he won't answer retard. At the very least we know Azami is a sadist now.

>>145557224
He answered a lot before too, like that Souma's mother is dead, Erina is going to develop feelings for Souma, Megumi may or no have a second personality or that he doesn't know if manga will reach graduation.
And some other irrelevant shit too.

>>145557324

>>145557397
Ah okay I misunderstood.

Holy shit is there a list of answered questions anywhere

And he flat out admitted that with Erina?

Not for a few years.

Seriously, it's going to be bad until Azami leaves. It'll be a while.

I'm really considering dropping it, but I dump it every Monday. Maybe I'll just rip and provide it instead, it's not as if I like it for now and I know it's not going to suddenly recover; these flaws are fucking fundamental.

>>145557224
He does. It's how we got confirmation of Souma's mom being dead. He was answering a little too much before honestly. So I think an editor reigned him in a little.

>>145557503
>dumping Viz
Just ripping and providing would be fine.

I mean hey, I like doing it when people are talking, but SnS threads have been quite dead.

He will become the good headmaster and lead Tootsuki back into fun.

>>145552742
>Make Erina and Soma a couple.
first make me actually interested in seeing Souma romantically involved with another human being, he's too up his own ass about cooking at this point. Like...he's immature.

>>145556087
The better explanation is that he wants to institute his cooking into the whole world, not just Tootsuki. Since Tootsuki students were already the most influential supply of talent in Japan anyways, having the up-and-coming rebels all gathered in front of him is convenient since he can crush them now instead of trying to worry about it later.

C'mon Tsukuda, you should know your own plot.

>>145557682

You might want to go reread the chapters where he's talking with Erina before they go to Hokkaido, anon.

He know what he do.

>>145557626
I remember when we used to have a thread up 24/7 even when the season wasn't airing, how times have changed.

>>145557451
This is the Erina one, I think.

Because back then people thought this was going to be a darker shounen with loses and despair but it turns out it's pretty light hearted and over the top.

>>145557766
I've read them, it's more as if he tends to bumble his way into sounding arguably smooth.

He's still young so it's fine, I just see him too much as a "boy". I doubt he's ever even considered romance. It's different from a simple dense male lead.

That reminds me, Meat sure sucks.

>>145557626
Well, you complain about how bad it is and people already get their fix from spoiler night/early gook scans. Plus, the overall consensus is that NS and Viz are about equally bad with their TL.

>>145557768
>having a pseudo-general up
If anything that saved the threads from becoming much worse. Look at Bleach. I know most of the meltdown is because it's ending, but even before the big announcement the threads were embarrassing.

>>145557799
Yeah, that's the one. The editor probably slapped his ass for giving away such an important detail over a tweet.

>>145557626
New ch threads still tend to fill up as do ep threads on release. The Viz threads are definitely dead.

>>145557768

Long ago it was bouyed by having one day for spoilers, the next for raw release, then another day for some speedscan, another day for the anime ep, casanova after that, and viz capping it off just a bit before spoilers.

Now spoilers and an ok quality scan are all done in one day. The gap from spoilers to raw (or Korean rather) to a scan is very small.

Just cauught up to the manga. Seems like everyone hates here hates the stuff with Erina's dad too.
But more importantly, is there any series that has this many best girls?

You have to build a shrine to Erina-sama.

>>145558280
In WSJ or in general?

>>145558280
>is there any series that has this many best girls?
There aren't many girls in SnS for which I'd say "yeah most people like them"

Like, Alice, Hisako, and MAYBE Rindou (specifically for her looks)

Erina and Megumi both have retarded hate groups. I like both of them myself but most like to paint it as if you can only like one or the other for some reason

>>145558340
In general, can't think of any manga I've read where I want to impregnate all the girls.

>>145558435
>Erina and Megumi both have retarded hate groups
A few years ago people loved Megumi and shat on Erina
Now people love Erina and shit on Megumi
Funny how that works.

What exactly is wrong with Megumi? She's not the greatest character sure but she's still pretty likeable.

I like and enjoy all the Shokugekis, except Azami. Please fuck off already.

>>145558594
People don't like that she's shy/nervous and also don't like how she's essentially a second love interest.

Reminder that Souma has 4 love interests and nearly everyone hates the 3rd and forgets the 4th.

I'm actually ok with most of what came out of Erina's dad showing up? Some really good things came out of it (Eizan, "Jouichirou Saiba", Erina's development and joining PSD) but I imagine it was really painful to read over a year and the situation's kind of frighteningly out of place for what's a pretty light manga (oh, no pressure at all, Soma, but pic related is what happens to your friend if your group gets expelled).

If nothing else Azami is the most disturbing villain out of a Shonen Jump series for me just because of how low-key and close to reality his worst shit is, whether or not he belongs in the manga at this point (which he really doesn't, and I think he should probably go sooner rather than later)

>takes away screen time from more deserving/interesting characters
>the infamous pose has by this point become her sole identifying trait, comparable to Orihime's KUROSAKI-KUN in Hueco Mundo arc
A couple of those are exaggerated but mostly it's true that Megumi is a weak character who takes screen time away from others.

>>145558640
>a second love interest
Is she though? I think there was a hint earlier on that she liked him but lately they just feel like good friends. And who's the 4th then? Niku is obvious, Erina is also getting there and will obviously win too. Other than those 2 I didn't really catch any hints.

>>145558640
Meat and Childhood friend are irrelevant as fuck and Megumi doesn't like him that way.

Shipping is a mistake.

>>145558769

Random girl from the 1st chapter and Karaage.

>>145558769
Childhood friend (Kurase) is vaguely hinted to have something for Souma, though she was never really his "friend" when you think about it.

>never even talked properly

>>145558699
>takes screen time away from others
That's dumb.

It implies Tsukuda even gives any focus to other characters in the first place. She no more "takes screen time" than Souma.

Takumi? Barely appears. Hayama? Forgotten. Alice has some more prominence now but that was very sudden and she's still mostly irrelevant.

>>145558769
>>145558796
She isn't a love interest but don't be stupid, she will be, and that's not just speculating based on genre conventions; they outright hint that it'll happen.

It made me mad when it happened because I really don't want her to be a love interest. It's cheap.

>>145558699
>>very vocal fans antagonized other fans, not only the waifufags but the fanbase in general
Ah offcourse, shitting on the fanbase of a girl you don't like. How original.

>>145558855

Relax anon, Takumi's on interception for Megumi, you're covered.

>>145558699
>comparable to Orihime's KUROSAKI-KUN in Hueco Mundo arc
Not at all.

It's just some pose she has. At this point, she acts like every character in Shokugeki no Souma: "expected and with hardly any importance"

Souma aside, of course.

>>145558823
>>145558853
Oh right, but she's beyond irrelevant. And I'm pretty sure she said she doesn't really know Souma either.

>>145558855
>It implies Tsukuda even gives any focus to other characters in the first place
Maybe he can if Megumi gets out of fucking the picture. Look what he did with Hisako and even Souma himself when they were isolated from the rest.

>>145558971

She could still win, anon, stranger things have happened.

And it'd be on the level of a war crime if it did

>>145558955
I don't want any romance with her, let alone with some gay boy she's never actually spoken with outside of extra material.

I like her as a character who's good at what she does and there you have it. Like Hisako; a bro and that's where it ends.

>>145558976
You're being dumb. During that same arc I'm pretty sure we didn't see anyone aside from Souma, Hisako, Erina, and Megumi (ironically, since you're complaining about her) beyond very small cameos. Hisako was relevant for that arc because she had issues with Erina, another main character, at the time. Megumi's presence or lack of presence won't change how Tsukuda is lousy at handling a large cast.

He's also just plain a fool
>entire school of hardened cooking elites
>literally the only group that can stop the new regime is a bunch of freshman
>throwaway comments that "they're special" to justify it

He's really garbage.

>>145559000
Pherhaps she'll join the school too at some point and it'll turn out she was a cooking prodigy all along.

Also this was probably already mentionned a bunch of times but this manga has stage and stagiaire backwards.
stagiaire = intern
stage = internship(or place of)

>>145558957
>At this point, she acts like every character in Shokugeki no Souma: "expected and with hardly any importance"
The difference is that the other characters have some kind of function to them and they fit as part of the ensemble.

Takumi is Souma's rival and foil
Alice is Erina's rival (?) and foil, also a tease
Ryou is the double personality rage character
Hisako is the loyal lackey who has her own charisma
Yoshino and Ryoko are energetic cheerleaders
Buttbros are comic relief
Giganigga and Nao are the creepy characters who also brings humor


And so on. Notice that Hayama isn't on that list because he's just as weak of a character besides muh Jun.

>>145559109
>Megumi's presence or lack of presence won't change how Tsukuda is lousy at handling a large cast
You realize you just admitted that it doesn't matter if Megumi is there or not. That's her issue - she's just there. Which irks people because maybe she doesn't actively make the story worse, but she sure isn't making it better. So why not move her out of the way and bring in other characters? Make the large cast more streamlined by pruning the static members.

I'm scared as shit of SnS going down the same road as Bleach.

We've got Aizen, we've got the genre switch, is it too late?

>>145559235
>Hayama isn't on that list because he's just as weak of a character

Hayama a shit, I'm glad he fucking died.

>>145551492
It doesn't need to be saved faggot.

>>145559109
>>literally the only group that can stop the new regime is a bunch of freshman
It's hinted that there's more people actually. Souma's dad and his first place buddy will probably do something and the guys that were kicked off the elite 10 too. Like that guy with the broken nose.

>>145559280
Two things:

SnS power levels, while still inconsistent at best and incomprehensible at worst, will never blow up to ridiculous meta levels like Bleach did.

Erina will retain her relevance unlike Rukia because she is one of the most powerful characters (or at least the one with most potential) and central to the main plot. Unless Tsukuda branches out wildly after Souma surpasses his dad and goes on to do bigger things.

>>145559235
>why not move her out of the way and bring in other characters? Make the large cast more streamlined by pruning the static members.
You're just ignoring my point, or missing it or whatever.

This isn't about Megumi at all. If she wasn't there, Tsukuda wouldn't bring in someone to "replace her" or something, that's not how he writes. You seem to think this conclusion of yours and suggestion is what he'd obviously do if he didn't bring in Megumi all the time, but he wouldn't. Megumi in the Karaage arc? Surprisingly unimportant, forgotten again immediately thereafter. Hisako in Stagiare? An outlier case, I'm actually surprised at how well Hisako is handled given Tsukuda handles EVERYONE else poorly.

On that note

>Takumi is Souma's rival and foil
Not at all. Who made it to the election finals? Who among the cast tends to appear more? It's not Takumi. Takumi only seems like a rival at first, but it quickly becomes apparent that Tsukuda is too lazy for that.
>Alice is Erina's rival (?) and foil, also a tease
Yes, though she rarely appears. Even now that she's somewhat important, she's not doing much. Arguably this is a fault of the arc itself, because this arc sucks.
>Ryou is the double personality rage character
And that is all. Kind of like how meat is "the tsundere". Also like Takumi, another case of "could be interesting/better utilized; isn't"
>Hisako is the loyal lackey who has her own charisma
Yes.
>Yoshino and Ryoko are energetic cheerleaders
Who's Ryoko? I recognize the Yoshino name. On that note, the entirety of PSD is fucking wasted. They pretty much all suck, even the more relevant ones.
>Buttbros are comic relief
You don't even know their names. Nobody does.
>Giganigga and Nao are the creepy characters who also brings humor
I like Nao but she's a bit character. Giganigga has become a bit character as well.

It's funny you complain about Hayama because along with Ryou he's one of the two characters who could actually be a rival to Souma.

Timeskip and start an arc about their adult life as a chef. We have enough of their school life shenanigans and tournament/test/exam.

Expel the fat Aldini, and the minor members of Polar Star

You can't keep this giant group together, and still let it grow. There is no threat at all yet, no one is struggling or getting expelled at this pace. Especially if they break even against the E10s

>>145559516

He's the eighth most popular character anon, Pajeet is coming back to fight for the bad guys.

>>145559368

What the fuck kind of monster is Gin anyways, Jouichirou is always spoken of as if he's a God by basically everybody and Gin's the guy that's above that.

>>145559568
Won't happen. What Tsukuda is trying to do is, he wants the tension of crazy challenges and when the heroes win, there's satisfaction.

It seriously isn't working.

See, the manga is a comedy at its core, even with the expulsion premise. So, nothing as serious as "cast shrinking" is ever going to happen. EVER. This is probably why Tsukuda's not even sure the manga will go to graduation, because that would mean you'd need to write members out of the cast.

>>145559516

Erina could've been a rival to Soma, that's probably mostly out the window now though.

>>145559593
I don't think we know if Gin truly was better than Jouchirou seeing as Jou always docked around and would lose his seat pretty often. Also Jou got a power up after falling in love didn't he?

>>145559516
>>145559570
Kind of funny seeing retards take this manga far too seriously. Just because you like overly developed characters in a cooking manga doesn't mean everyone does.

>>145559593
It's also by Erina's dad and the dorm manager that there were some cooking school politics going on during the time they all went to school so it's possible Jouichirou is actually a better chef but couldn't get first place because of some other reason. Or it's possible he just became better than Gin after school.
Also Jouichirou didn't seem to give much of a shit. Most important factor in life is always motivation.

>>145559736
I'm betting that the last match between those two got Jou as the winner and then he decided to fuck off from the school.

>>145559516
>>145559570
I'm not sure why Meat became a regular character at all, her reasons for liking Souma are incredibly shallow and she's incredibly boring as a character.

Her appearing in the Karaage arc was because it was meat/poultry-related and Tsukuda thought shit, I have to make her do something semi-important. Apparently her experience with meat was crucial to Souma and friends overcoming the challenge. Or something

>>145559740
I never said anything about "overly developed", but if you're going to have a large cast at least make it difficult to forget their names; at least make them feel significant.

It's funny you call it "retarded" to want to enjoy a series for its large cast. You don't need to do anything fancy like give characters their own arcs, even, just imply they actually have lives beyond the rare occasions they cross paths with the main characters.

>>145559740

Go take another look at the girls before you march in this thread and say SnS isn't about overdeveloped characters

>>145559702

Eizan worked because even though you knew Soma was going to win he pulled it off in an entertaining way and by that point Eizan was established as a royal chode.

>>145559882
>>Eizan worked because even though you knew Soma was going to win he pulled it off in an entertaining way and by that point Eizan was established as a royal chode.
I don't really like that "fight" but yes, i worked better. Even his cheating was acceptable since he's always been a cheater.

>>145559814
Jesus christ why do you think this shit needs to be overdone? She is a simple character as much as everyone else. You are clearly expecting the wrong things out of this manga.

>>145559921

I do wish Eizan hadn't held back there and just got destroyed legitimately, but I think he would've lost regardless.

The thing that would've perfectly capped that entire fight off for me is if Soma somehow got the 9th seat out of it, there's something about getting backed so far into a corner that the only way out is up that just sounds like a really cool way to push the plot.

>>145559708
Would've been an obvious but preferred route.

I don't care at all about "Erina valiantly leading the rebels to victory".

That's another thing, I might find that funny on some "that's so absurd" level, but because this arc began with child abuse, PTSD, and a civil war I'm getting mixed signals.

The arc began seriously, so it's begging to be taken seriously, but then it's stupid, but I can't forget how Azami wrenched his daughters hand and literally traumatized her to the point that she becomes a quivering leaf in his presence now.

Come on. What the FUCK are you doing?

>it's another 'Reddit defends their favorite girl by arguing she isn't any worse than the other characters" thread

>>145559593
I'm pretty sure Jouichirou lost a ton of shokugekis because he fucked around with dishes and experimented instead of trying to win all of them. The only actual match up between the two of them that we know of was the Autumn Election, but we don't know who won.

>>145559814
She needs a character breakthrough soon. She came close when she admitted she had changed from how the manga first encountered her but stopped short of understanding why that happened.

>>145559948
I think he wants her to be entertaining.

Maybe you're braindead and can operate on "children show level", Blue's Clues/Dora the Explora-esque characterization, but most people want a little more. Why do you think Meat is so unpopular despite being so distinctive and attractive? It's because she's fucking terrible.

I'm gonna guess the Azami thing went too fucking far and they were told to dial it back so now he's mostly about Saturday morning cartoon villainy until Erina ends up within 5 feet.

>>145560267
Not in Japan. "My own X with blackjack and hookers!" is seen as a coward's move.

>>145560139
Maybe you should fucking drop a manga that you won't ever like. By this point you dumbass, it has been established that what you want from it won't ever fucking happen. This manga is written for kids so that characterization is expected.

>>145560259
Can't you just be alternately amused and sad depending on what the chapter is giving you

If you don't like it, drop it. I have never seen anyone go nuts over this manga like you have.

>>145559708
Are you telling me that Erina is not a rival?

>>145560259
>you can't just have both
Says who? Your dumb ass?

>>145560374
>>145560379
>if you don't like it drop it!
>stop criticizing it!

You really are a fucking child.

Did you ever think I might want to stick with it since I actually liked it a lot once and maybe think it could recover?

And in the meanwhile, maybe I'll be critical of poorly written garbage rather than bending over, spreading my asscheeks, and begging Tsukuda "Please, ream me?"

>>145560387

She was right up until the competition part of the manga went on pause and any meaningful confrontation got delayed/completely cancelled.

I hope I'm wrong, I want her to go up against Soma and utterly destroy him.

>>145560422
Learn to read, you fucking idiot. Seriously.
>just
keyword, as in you can't simply breakneck between two settings and expect it to be taken well
>if you want both you have to do it better than this

Erina is a rebel and an E10 member, so is she going to face against the rebels or the E10?

>>145560440
>I actually liked it a lot once and maybe think it could recover?
>It's not gonna recover while Azami is around maybe I'll be critical of poorly written garbage rather than bending over, spreading my asscheeks, and begging Tsukuda "Please, ream me?"
Never mind, you were just rusing

>>145560502
neither because lolazami

>>145560440
Who are you quoting you fucking dumbass? From what you wrote alone there was enough hate towards the manga that dropping it seems reasonable.
>think it could recover?
From what?

>>145560516
From being bad?

Do you know what thread you're in?

You like calling people stupid, and then demonstrating what "stupid" looks like, I see.
>>145551492
>Can the series still be saved?

>>145560502

I want it to be as an E10 member so bad, long as we're in drama mode right now the amount that could come from that is incredible

>>145560558
Clearly whatever your idea of a manga getting better or "saved" won't happen. You haven't even given an example of how this could improve nor of a manga that got better after going similarly downhill

>>145560502
I'm expecting Rindou to say something along the lines the next chapter.

>>145560558
There is nothing bad about it. It's only your ass sperging because it didn't do what you wanted. You had the wrong expectations then got heartbroken and now come here to sperg out. Wow.

>>145560639
It's not as if the core premise up and vanished, and I don't know the future so how should I know whether or not it'll be entertaining?

I don't get your dumb fucking babyish response of "just shut up" It sounds like you're getting offended by my being critical and actually like...THINKING about what I read. Your whole argument has basically been "be retarded, don't think about anything, just be an idiot'. To that I just say "no thanks", I guess?

I'll probably drop it indeed but what's it to you whether or not I'm critical of it?

>>145560681
>There is nothing bad about it
That made me laugh. I'm not the only one who's been shitting on this series. Even Japan, usually ready to accept anything, has been critical.

>>145560502
She defeats the first seat. Screencap this.

>>145560748
Go back to Rebbit man, you're in the wrong neighborhood. I say this in the nicest way.

>>145560789
Funny you say that, reddit is more for people such as yourself who need hugboxes.

If you're this hurt about me complaining about SnS maybe I should do it more so YOU fuck off.

Have I mentioned how the utter lack of tension in the series has been crippling it since Stagiare week?

>>145560748
You aren't the only sperg, I think that has been established.

>>145560875
>sperg
Is this what redditors call "people who type more than one sentence"?

>>145560823

I'm not even the guy you're arguing with but you're seriously full of yourself and you need to fuck off, the arc right after Stagiaire is great.

>>145560823
The thing is that no one is asking for anyone to stop criticizing. The thing is that you aren't doing it reasonably you are just mad that the manga didn't go the way you wanted.

Just stop feeding it.

>>145560921
You keep saying "get what I wanted" with a mouthful of assumption. I don't really have any expectations for this series. What I WANT would be...I don't know, a much more fleshed out series with lots of lovable characters, but even in its heyday SnS wasn't that and I didn't care. I was satisfied with what it was and didn't give a shit. You're assuming that, since I don't like what it is, I am just upset because it defied my expectations. Not at all, and nothing I've said really implies anything like that. I've been complaining about how it is structurally, as a series, and how things within it transpired and continue to transpire poorly.

Have anyone tried to lurk 2ch, how is the Momo shitposter doing?

>>145560986
You want the series to focus on character not fun and cooking which is what the first chapter of this manga indicated it was going to do.

>>145560902
I wasn't talking about the arc after that but sure let's talk about the Festival too.

That arc was mostly entertaining but what I mentioned, the lack of tension, definitely did make it suffer. Guess what? Once again, Souma won, except not as he wanted so he's upset about it. A bunch of cameos at the end of almost no importance and it culminates in our entrance into objectively the turning point for shit of the entire series.

Anyway, Kuga was a fun enough villain but again the thing lacks tension. It's not as bad as Stagiare but that's only because the stakes weren't really feeling as high in the Festival arc.

After the training camp arc and everyone survived, it was perfectly fine as one instance. It felt like everyone suffered and their successes were deserved.

Stagiare was also not easy, but somehow, someway, literally everyone succeeded. Smokey gets a brief hint that he's in trouble, he succeeds.

The series always lacked tension but Stagiare was the kicker. This has bled into the much more serious "Azami administration" part, where the stakes are higher than ever, but the heroes continue to be invincible.

Rather shitty, since the manga could use ANY sort of appeal right now.

>>145561041
He killed himself. I can confirm.

>>145561125
Why would you want tension in a series about fun?

>>145561048
HA

I've said over and over in many threads what I actually want is fun from this series, since that's what it used to give me. Fun and cooking. It lacks the HELL out of fun right now and the cooking is pretty much totally unremarkable.

You really are so, so full of yourself, you just assume so hard it's incredible.

Sure I could WANT more from the series, but I can WANT more from anything. I can want more from my most favorite series of all time, it's meaningless to even mention it. I would assume you're the same, because even after all this I won't assume you're some mouthbreather who never even considers the possibility of improvements.

But we can all be satisfied and SnS used to be satisfying. Used to be.

>>145561170
Why do you not read this manga?
>I didn't read Hell Training Camp
>I didn't read the start of the series
>I didn't read Autumn Election

>>145561170
You know, tension can be fun.

Like, not being sure if the hero will win, but they manage to.

That's fun.

>>145561206
Sorry that you are incapable of enjoying the simple stuff.
>>145561258
Fun for you not the characters.

>>145561284
I'm convince you don't know how to read.
>>145561206
>what I actually want is fun from this series
>that's what it used to give me
>Fun and cooking
sounds pretty simple

obviously when I was reading about Souma cooking an onion/meat dish to combat some weird girl in a bikini I was thinking about the depths these characters could go to and not "this is fun"

Also again
>>145560078
>this arc began with child abuse, PTSD, and a civil wa
>I'm getting mixed signals.
Nothing about this is fun, right? You find child abuse fun?

You say "not for the characters" but this is fun for you? Or you agree, because if you agree you see what I'm complaining about: that the series is confused, leading me to be not sure how to take it.

It literally wants to have its cake and eat it too. It wants a dark and serious arc at the same time as being fucking retarded as usual, but you're ignoring the serious parts for some reason even though they really never leave. They won't even shut up about how serious things are now

I see the shitposters are targeting SnS next after having their fill of Nisekoi and Bleach.

>>145561478
I see you're pretending people haven't been complaining about Azami for months.

>>145561500
This is not the problem here.

>>145561500
It's one thing to complain about Azami and another to go completely nuts like a certain poster has ITT.

>>145561569
I don't see anything nuts aside from apologist-tier whining about criticism.

No all caps posts, just shitting on the series as has been the case since last fucking year, except by this point there's so much more to complain about.

>>145561536
What IS?

The defense force that came out of nowhere all of a sudden?

I have been out of the loop on WSJ happenings but is every manga on break this week from WSJ? I always tag Thursday as mega spoiler day from WSj mango but was surprised my catalog lacked a huge amount of leaks/spoil

>>145561923
The magazine is off, "double issue" this week so no issue next week.

>>145561679
>The defense force that came out of nowhere all of a sudden?
You need a break from /a/.

>>145551492
Not anymore, unless the author decide to rewrite part of the plot. Remove Azami, and make Erina the big bad once again. She was a way better villain than what is her pitiful father now, not to mention how the shitty excuse of a Mary Sue she's now. Character devolution much?

>>145562027
Nah.

Looking back I was right in thinking "what the hell?"

I was discussing shit (along with others) and someone came in calling anyone with criticism "retards" and saying "why do you want overly developed characters" and getting madder and madder.

You can see it for yourself, I just returned blow for blow since that's what you do here.

Apparently it's bad if you call a faggot a faggot if they insulted you first
>>145559740
>>145559948
>>145560374
wow such nice responses to levelheaded posts

I guess who he was talking to was just mad as hell.

>>145553830
Megumi is more the leading lady than Erina.

>>145551492
No. Author is set to make the main villain a guy dressed as a vampire whose major evil feat was making Erina throw away food she wouldn't eat .

>>145560502
Erina became a joke the instant in which Soma defeated the seat above her by farting in his face with ketchup.

I'm fine with Azami as a villain but I hope he won't job in the end just cause he's Erina's dad. Gonna need quite the ending to ship him off.

>>145559235
You forgot that Marui is principally comic relief with the buttbros. "Marui died" is one of the longest running jokes in the manga.

>>145559702
It's a sports manga. It's always been one.

>>145559736
Jou lost a bunch of shokugeki because of dicking around, but never lost his seat as far as we know.

>>145560078
He cut her off from everyone else and isolated her in a windowless room. And yes, he wrenched her arm. Probably far more than once.

But the physical abuse is just the cherry on top. The rest was already some real child abuse.

>>145561679
Lot of people don't like Azami, but although the beginning was slow they are who truly enjoy this arc right now and especially Erina's development, there are bad and good sides to every arc. You also are pretty shit at defending your point and annoying.

If Souma had to face Azami would you want him to win? be honest.

>>145564841
Souma of course, but there is no way he could win.

Anime when?

>>145563566
That's so cliche, it's going to happen for sure

>>145563566

Soma facing lasting consequences for being overly confident and making a stupid bet would be good but I feel like he'd become pretty unsympathetic if his punishment was Erina getting submitted to psychological torture while nothing happened to him.

>>145562051

Erina was a "villain" until halfway through the Autumn Elections at most.
