What went wrong?

What went wrong?

not enough lewds

It was too short and not had enough time to get people interested in the characters

Being a LN instead of a cookbook.

No Victim Girls-esque scenarios where the female patrons pay for their meals with the bodies

Nothing? I guess that the lack of a hatebase didn't made it memorable, it was just as good as Flying Witch or other comfy shows.

Not enough interaction between any of the characters. For having such a large cast it's a shame that hardly any of them even spoke to one another.

Also while there were some real gems some the episodes had really boring vignettes and were a bit of a slog to get through

Your taste

>lack of a hatebase
Here, it's mediocre trash just like every other "comfy" anime you like, especially Flying shit.

This

Fairies and Kuro took far too long to show up.

It ended.

>no explanation of how the chef actually manages to not go bankrupt by giving so much free shit and having so many different recipes with a wide variety of ingredients
>episodes become easily predictable and quite boring sometimes
>the Isekai itself seems like a clusterfuck that the author is just improvising as it goes
>almost no interaction between the characters most of the time
>would be nice if they gave us some of the recipes like Shokugeki does

I watch it for Saggy Goat Tits.

The chef simply lives in the real world where all these ingredients are fairly easy to get by a phone call and just walking towards his door, also i'm not 100% sure how does it works but i'm sure that gold, silver and bronze are worth enough money for him to brough shit and buy a mansion and all the whores he want.
>the Isekai itself seems like a clusterfuck that the author is just improvising as it goes
Eh, I mean, is not like the chef go on adventures and shit, is the other world the one that present itself in his restaurant so we get to see a new story and new part of this world with each new character.

>no explanation of how the chef actually manages to not go bankrupt
gee, I wonder if it has anything to do with the bags of gold and silver people keep giving him.

I'm not saying that it's not plausible that he can run the restaurant with the gold from the Iseikai. I'm saying that it'd be interesting for the story to explore more about how he uses the gold to get the ingredients. Why is nobody in the real world asking about how he gets so many "weird gold coins"? What happens to the restaurant in the real world during the Sunday? It just disappears or the door just leads to a empty room? Is the restaurant also famous in the real world?

It ended. ;_;

Eh, I guess that at some point we'll get more chef backstory but I don't see why the hurry or why it would be needed at all to enjoy the series, real world is boring anyways. Also, I don't know about Japan, but there's plenty of places where you can just sell anything to people that will not make questions about the nature of the merchandise. Also, I think you should just watch episode 1 again since it seems you simply skipped it.

The plot is boring.
The characters are one-dimensional.
The food is over-marketed trite.
The show is trash.
This is not comfy. It's dull.

Here with us until the very end. Nice job user.

Food animes are boring.

Aletta is some kind of isekai version of a hobo right? It would have been nice to have an episode about her day to day life outside of the restaurant

Elf came too late and not enough of her.

Absolutely nothing.

isekai hobos are murder hobos that go on to do things
shes an npc

The fact that we are in some kind of post-airing time where the only way to have a thread about it is some shitty template bait.

Should have kept the other thread alive then.

Kuro a best. Mastah should marry her.

Nigger don't post retarded bullshit if you didn't even watch the show.

She was living in a broken down temple until she found a job offer which turned out to be a maid job for Sarah the adventure girl.

The only one real gripe i was left with was the goddamn death magic dragon going into exile because she couldn't control the natural death magic that was around her at all times.

And now here she is working as a waitress.
What prevented her from taking human form earlier and just living alongside the other folk in her own world?

her job is satisfying men. this is also how she maintained a healthy body despite being a hobo, unfortunately she lacks the demon god's blessing so she still craves for food as much as humans do

That... actually makes sense, anyone here with an explanation? I guess she was just autistic as fuck.

I assume she can't take that elf form forever and it feels like it was obvious enough that the Red Dragon was protecting the restaurant as well. Also, they didn't really show it in the anime but despite that form she had, some of the indoor plants in the restaurant wilted a bit in her presence.

Besides that she's an autist. Don't bully the space autist.

My hypothesis is that she can completely turn off her magic, but it is stressful and keeping it for long is something she either can't or doesn't want to do.
And with restaurant, she has immediate reward for putting up with the transformatin.

That's acceptable, she's still autistic as fuck tho.

I thought it was pretty obvious.
Beef Stew blessed the place.

I was figuring red dragon blessing plus hero lineage hacks.

Nothing. My summer waifu's anime was great.

>seasonal waifus
Get out of the restaurant.

勇者の話か、声優１７歳はヴァルキリープロファイルみたいなの作れないか？と進めてラべノやなろうが作ったけどいいのができず、魔王が同情して他へ引っ越したのが現実、そうゆう所日本の業界は嘘つきだから、後で好き勝手騒ぐんだ

Everything.

Basically, Owner doesn't just run the store as his job. He's also the landlord for the multi-story building that Nekoya is located in, which is basically home to several other shops and restaurants like the bakery that makes the cookies Aletta likes as well as a bar that supplies him with some of his more stronger alcohol.

He collects rent from them as well as his normal weekday job running the store normally on weekdays. In one of the chapters, he gets some japanese alcohol from the bar and takes the costs from the monthly rent.

So dude's basically already rich enough to afford this hobby

The premise and variety of characters was wasted on it being 100% formulaic. I wanted to know more and see more interactions between the cast.

>only really learned anything about Mastah for portions of 2 episodes.
>didn't make it long enough.
>wanted to see the other Dragons.
>wanted a dedicated pulled pork with coleslaw episode.
>wanted the backstory of the bakery owner to make it in.

S2 never right?

>will never see the autistic dragon figure out what love is

I thought it was odd how everyone very politely ignores each other, except when some bitch nigga tries to claim THEIR dish is the BEST dish and then shit's on.

No final wedding episode in which kuro NTR's Aletta

Thats because MY dish is the best dish, try and prove me otherwise.

PORK
CUTLET

No shounen main character to be the center of the story.

Fatass

CHICKEN TERIYAKI

I know right? delicious demon fat ass, so yummy. I bet mastah intentionally startles her so he can punish her with spanking when she breaks a plate.

This, and it didn't help that, at least for me, the food was not that interesting. But this is my fault, I expected adventurers eating fantasy food, not "our" food and loving it.

>also i'm not 100% sure how does it works but i'm sure that gold, silver and bronze are worth enough money for him to brough shit and buy a mansion and all the whores he want.

He gives all the other world currency he makes on saturdays to the pasta jew in exchange for ingredients from the other world to experiment with.

How often do you go to a restaurant and just start talking to the strangers at other tables?

Several of them aren't even strangers, though. ARTORIUUUUS and Half-Elf were mentor and apprentice but they never even looked at each other. She didn't even tell him about the fuckin' awesome magic ice box she made just to keep sweets chilled and fresh.

May'n and WUG didn't really duet much in their song.

That, and that almost all of the characters were underdeveloped, and it felt way too episodic without much things putting everything together.

Though I enjoyed the series, to put it bluntly, each episode was like an anime version of some shitty YouTube reaction video. I felt that the balance between character backstory, choice of food and cooking sequences were balanced correctly (usually), but it just lacked impact. Hell, it seemed like there was a shift from "let's do food preparation/cooking porn sequences" to "UMAIIII, etc." as the series progressed.
The characters themselves were mildly interesting, and I enjoyed how they were recurring throughout at times, sometimes being relevant while other times just seen relaxing. Outside of this, the characters feel pretty static, I think only four? characters were shown trying other dishes than the one they ordered first.
The food wasn't particularly innovative or anything at all, it was just regular dishes. While it's true the chef was bringing dishes of our world to the fantasy one, and reactions of the denizens of said world are important, there was quite literally nothing happening. Twists to the dishes by adding fantasy fruits that provide an extra punch of flavor, it just feels like there's a lack of imagination (though I suppose this is with the source material and not really the anime).
The animation was a mixed bag at times, not sure about the budget, but I sure didn't really need a 3-5? minute sequence of a lizardman washing himself, then relegating the actual omurice sequence to a slideshow.

>implying anything went wrong
I loved it.

The best part is that until the very end they never told us the chef's name.

Not enough kuro screentime

No scene with Kuro being buttfucked.

What's weird is how Alphonse had been going there for TWENTY FUCKING YEARS and never mentioned to any of the other people there that he was stranded on an island and to see if they could send help.

KONO HIROI SEKAI DE
KIMI TO MEGURIAU
KISEKI REBERU TTE IESOU NA KAKURITSU

How would the LN readers rate this as an adaption?

No loli.

8/10

Those missing two points is because it was a relatively middling-budget show. But honestly, it's exactly what I expected. In fact, it's even better because they at least had the decency to introduce Aletta and Kuro earlier --- because if they actually followed the source material more closely we would only get Aletta on episode 8 and Kuro wouldn't even appear let alone get teased. It's too bad it's a one cour LN advertisement because the only fault that it has is that there weren't enough stories for some of the other meals/customers that could have shown up.

So yeah. A fine adaptation.

Never felt fully invested in it all and it felt like a chore as it went on. You get simple background in each character and hire they came to be there, but after that it's more of the same setup.

Nothing happens. They spent more time having characters have Foodgasms than anyone do anything

What's wrong with foodgasms?

I'll miss this as a comfy monday morning show to start off my hellish wageslave weekdays with. ;_;

yeah I thought that was pretty hilarious
maybe he just stayed on the island so he could go to nagoya

It gets boring fast. We have all these characters who could be interesting but they never so much as talk to each other if it's not RARARARA MY FOOD IS BETTER!

Okay, you are shipwrecked and stranded on an island.

How exactly do you tell people where to look? The ocean is fucking huge and there are uncharted islands everywhere. It's still mideval fantasy after all, they wouldn't know exactly where to look and he could have drifted for a while.

He was only found by chance when a ship got blown off course and had to stop to make repairs after all

Give him a magical artifact with a unique signature that can be tracked like a beacon to take back through the door with him.

>Somehow worst than food arc in Death march.
It's mind boggling how this shit could get an anime adaptation.

Missing the door in an abandoned well episode.

It introduces Burger, Fries and Cola.

He'd have a general idea of his location based on where he was when he wrecked.

>He'd have a general idea of his location based on where he was when he wrecked.
Basically he was on the Southern Continent. It is where all the majority of beast-people lived.

I don't think he gives a fuck. He just wanted to eat curry all his life. Did you forget his reluctance to leave the island when he was found by that other shipwrecked crew?

In the books only about a month passes between being hired at Nekoya and being hired by Sarah in the isekai world. Aletta and Kuro were introduced much earlier than they were in the books.

He's a sailor. Give him a clock, a sextant and he can nail his location down to a 10 mile search radius.

When you have a room full of potential like that, you should do something with it. Gods, royalty, masters, and monsters all eating together, just a little interaction would go a long way.

Also hope the anime adaptation helps speed up the LN translation.

I hope you village monkey never go to any big city in the western coast and annoy people rudely just because you saw a celebrity.

not raping demon in the storage room

...

Right? On the elf episode where the adventurer was talking to the prince or whatever on the background I got excited but it amounted to fucking nothing.
That episode in particular really dragged on.

onaholes for tonight

...

>Also hope the anime adaptation helps speed up the LN translation.
LN translation is dead, what we're getting is the WN now.

How much focus is there on the fantasy world? I'm not interested in restaurant SOL but I like fantasy settings that go in depth into the world, covering things like geography, flora and fauna, political intrigue and technology/magic.

None.

Now that I've finished watching it probably 60-40. The former being the fantasy.

>What went wrong?
It ended.

world building is done through character stories. I say it's pretty decent

not enough Aletta

World - Cooking - Characters
0 - 40 - 60

I agree with you. I get annoyed with the theme of "Our food is always better and superior to other worlds food." That's why I liked Toriko so much. It was strange, far fetched yet creative even though the majority of items was just a combination of food+animal. Plus stuff in Toriko looked delicious and allowed fans to contribute creature designs.

I love that the food was simple, casual, and entry-level except for natto fucking fuck that filthy fucking vegan elf for a casual cook like me to relate to. It's especially more relatable because it deals with themes I've experienced in the past two decades of me cooking for people.

God bless wish-fulfillment isekai.
