 I'm never going to really love this show, but it's decent.

- I still take issue with how the food reaction shots are taken. I definitely think they target making female characters much more nude than the men, though I do feel like they are trying to do a 50/50 divide. But, uh, I'm not entirely convinced by that, TBH.

- Still ship Souma/Tadaroko the most! They're just really cute together and I like them a lot.

- I feel like, well, maybe it was the distance from the first series, but Erina was more likeable here? I think they succeeded much more in making her likable, even if I still dislike Souma/Erina, TBH. Whereas because Erina genuinely likes and misses Hisako. I still really like seeing Erina and Alice interact.

- The Aldini brothers didn't really do much here, but I very much liked how Takumi was protective over Isami.

- I liked the Akira Hayama and Ryou match, and that it then became a three-way battle with Souma later on. And they became buddies! Sort of!

- I definitely think Ryou/Alice are a very cute ship.

- I like Akira Hayama and Jun Shiomi as a family unit, where Jun is Akira's mother/big sister figure; because the hug after Akira is declared victor is incredibly sweet. It is, however, horribly ruined if in the long-term, those two end up together, considering it was Jun who raised Akira.

- Definitely liked the Tadaroko and Ryou battle!

- Alice's mom was great, it was fun hearing the actress sound unfluent in Japanese, before then become extremely fluent.

- I loved the return of Shinomiya! Seeing him thrive in his element was excellent, and I loved seeing him and his mom interact in idioms, much to the confusion of everyone else.

7/10. I'm honestly hoping that I can watch a series a day so I can finish the entire show before February, TBH. It's definitely doable.
