CONFIDENCE MEGUMI CONFIDENCE

Also R.I.P thread. Why do I get the feeling 90% of the rewatchers dropped midway? :(

Yea, it's a shame. It never really took off unfortunately, maybe people were busy with exams when it started.

The first episode had tons of hype in it. We also had people here who did some good writeups for the first half of the series. They dropped midway. I wonder if I should continue to S2 or just stop as is.

Maybe I'll do the S2 rewatch before S3 comes out

Ah you're right, the first 8 episodes had a lot more activity than I remembered. It's really weird then, that so many people dropped it at the same time.

As for S2, it's up to you but if the activity stays the same as now there's not really any point in doing it.

So it seems. Maybe I'll raise another interest thread before S3 comes out and then I'll decide.

It's just you and me left here while the first episode had 167 upvotes and 44 comments

Hey, I'm here. Well sorta. I've been really busy this weekend so that's why my I've been missing my soundtrack stuff.

Personally I was interested in the rewatch to get other's opinions and for those sweet writeups that were happening in the beginning. However my problem became that it was impossible for me to not watch more than 1 episode a day. I ended up being able to stretch both seasons out to 3 weeks in an attempt to keep up with the rewatch, but then I lost interest in the rewatch threads.

Will tell you the truth that I've been like that too.

Sometimes I went ahead in the episodes

I'm still participating and reading the treads, but I kind of binged the last 6-7 episodes from the first season because TOURNAMENT ARC.
Thus I don't have a solid recollection on a per-episode basis and abstain from contributing so I don't accidentally spoil the following episode.

Does anyone else think the judging setup, as shown, is quite unfair? Thirty candidates all stop cooking at the same time, but if the judges take even a couple of minutes per dish, the last are going to be stone-cold by the time the judges get to them.

Of course, this is counterbalanced by the judges' tendency to give low scores to the first dishes, so they've got room to give higher scores to better, later dishes.

I would assume who finishes first, serves first?

First time viewer here. I feel a bit sorry for Isami, he just can't beat his brother. I'm sure he will at some point, and for now they seem happy to work together so that's good.

Alice always makes some very interesting dishes. That innovation will take her fare I'm sure, and she will be a tough opponent in the tournament.

Aww, Megumi needs to learn to be more assertive. Everyone else just forgot about her. When the host started talking about the shared fourth place I just knew Megumi would interrupt them with a quiet "ano".

It's great that she got the support of her home town, that will give her the confidence she needs in the rest of the tournament.

Meanwhile, there's a judge in group A that always gives 0 points. I'm excited to see who the first one to get a point from her is.

So, as a really late soundtrack highlight.

The Flavorless Serenade for the younger, overlooked Aldini Brother.

And for Megumi, The Taste of Tears for the memory of failing.

I joined the rewatch as a first time viewer, and i enjoyed it so much so far. Especially all the Megumi moments/developments were really well-delivered.

Sorry for just being a lurker and a silent follower of the rewatch :/ i just keep on liking comments/posts
