Hell yeah, anime starts next week!
Managing a businesses was exactly what the festival was about.
The Head of the Hydra
Then Souma's gonna be alright then. Hopefully at least.
Though I am suddenly reminded of the 1st chapter/episode where those business jerks broke into his restaurant & tore up the place. Shouldn't he have called the police for that?

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."
/grumbles something about this series thinking building a giant temple and then demolishing it three days later is a sane business decision.
Consider that Azami's arcs are still in progress for Anime Season 3.
Moon Banquet Festival act as a Starter before it ends with some episodes that first featured Azami

He and the rest of the Elite 10 will probably get an Early-Bird Cameo to foreshadow their debut.

Some character like Momo & Nene already made a cameo in chapter 4
Technically no. Momo and Nene just reused those designs. After all, they aren't first year students so they wouldn't have been at the entrance speech, at least not among the general student body.
@3754: The festival's 5 days actually, and as long as their sales revenue is enough to cover the building expenses, then it really doesn't matter. IIRC that's what they did with the pavillions in Shanghai's World Expo years ago, and those costed 45 billion to construct.

@Arha then so as Kurokiba's wild personality, Yoshino & Hinako then, whose characters concept are based on the minor characters who just like them, before the anime was announced & replaced with the current ones

Chapter's out
Fear not, for best girl Alice has returned to strengthened the forces. NOW I THEY CAN WIN
I realize the logic of putting the rebels together on the same team, but I don't think they really considered that 4/5ths of that team were apart of the top 8 of the Fall Classic, and two of them were the runner-ups. Its like asking to get your ass kicked.
Anyway, I kinda like this setup; it allows for new character interactions and situations...even tho I feel like Soma, Alice, and Ryou are going to be the ones who carry the team.

Yeah right, don't try to sell me on teacher Alice. She'd do okay for five minutes but only after half an hour of flattering herself and then after her few minutes of effective education she'd get distracted by pretty butterflies.
And yeah, the team composition is flawed. Putting Ryou and Souma in the same group at least is a bad idea. But then it's possible that Azami doesn't want him to fail out and gave him a way out.
CHADhan Player.
That's why Ryou would be her assistant :V
If that was the case, just put Soma and Erina on a team with nobodies and let the other four fend for themselves
I'm starting to realize I actually like this arc so far more than the previous ones, I wonder what was flawed about the last couple of arcs that made them a bit of a chore to go through.

But in that case Erina would be doing all the work and Azami wouldn't get to see the son of his beloved senpai~ following his methods.
The problem with the prior arcs isn't necessarily mopey Erina since we got still got some decent development out of her and funny stuff like laundry failure. Rather, I think the problem is that Azami was largely lacking a human aspect and the normal exaggerated style of the manga just made the problem worse. Eizan was also more of a dick than a threat. You knew he was never going to win.
Edit: But yes, the last few chapters have really helped turn the story around.

Yea, but Azami himself was kinda largely in the background past his introduction; I think it was the opponents they were facing, Eizan vs. Soma was a foregone conclusion, and we had no reason to really care about Ryou vs. Rentarou. Tsukasa vs. Soma was also a foregone conclusion, but at the very least we saw exactly where Soma stood by comparison to the top brass.
In this arc though, we actually characters working together that we care about overcoming things, so I think that works a lot better than facing off against either useless fodder, or setting up matches with an obvious outcome.

Yes, but Azami's over the top attitude really set the mood for the arc.
CHADhan Player.
Yea, then I can agree with that; at the very least, I'm glad the series found a way to make this arc work sooner rather than later.
A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.
Central is still impossible to take seriously. They are trying to be menacing, but they just come off as tryhard wannabes. Their methods are just so childish and the faces they make aren't helping. Oh and all those fodder trash got brainwashed and act like members of a cult.
Still, it was fun seeing Erina go "Worried? Bitch please." And the trio figuring out a plan already. Seems Erina's lessons paid off.
Yuuki just wanted to see Alice in teacher outfit.
...
Yeah, I'm starting to think Yuuki might not be straight.
CHADhan Player.
At this point, the only ones you can remotely take seriously are the Elite 10, and barely at that lol.

You say that, but it looks like Soma, Ryou, and Alice are going to be pulling the majority of the weight, and the latter two didn't even attend her lessons....man, that'd be fucking hilarious actually.
Which reminds me, the last time Alice was assigned to a team in a project, she almost got the entire team booted out.....

And even then Eizan did his best to make Elite 10 look like a joke too.
But it seems Souma took his solution straight from Erina's lectures.
Also, it cracks me up that Central thinks putting three of the best first years on the same team is the best way to get rid of them.

Well Eizan was just being a dick, he never really cared about winning.
On a side note, apparently the anime will only have 13 episodes this season. Which is odd and pretty disappointing.

Show time everyone, the new Merry Men of Culinary world is here.
Looks like one of Azami's hired lecturers will be fired soon enough for loosing to such a mere rebelled freshmen. Think about the first chapter before Soma enters Totsuki & Mozuya (i dunno if Moon Banquet counts only on 4th day winning)
Say... isn't that the creepy granny from Erina's class 2nd days ago? from before Tsukasa & Soma's unofficial Shokugeki?

If they went for twenty six episodes they'd end the anime right in the middle of the arc we're currently in.

Now that I've read it, I can see the logic in putting all of them in one group.
Since they slanted the deck to make it impossible for them to even pass by giving them poor ingredients, putting the strongest students in one team was irrelevant anyway.
They were trying to kill multiple birds with one stone. After all, why put them on different teams and take the chance that a few of them might still pass, when you can put them all on the same team and take them out all at once?
It's just that we're dealing with the heroes, so of course they are going to succeed.

Aw yeah.
