Review of Food Wars! The Third Plate OVA - Erina's New Life

When the 6th week of current season hit, many series decided to take a week long hiatus and air some filler, recapturing the former 4-5 episodes. FranXX did the-making-of video with live interviews. What about Shokugeki no Souma? J.C. Staff gave us a fanservice special and used more money animating it than they have used to animate season 3.1 thus far. Some decisions are just better than others. The episode can be split in two. First half centers around Erina, and keeps creating comedic situations where she struggles to use devices which are self-explatory to common folks. These include stuff like washing machines and vacuum cleaners.The comedy is rather impressive. I found myself laughing at it most of the time. I also nearly died when Soma started pressing dem buttons. The second half is about girls going to bath house and slowly undressing themselves. There really isn't much food present but who could complain when Erina herself looks so tasty, le lenny face.

The worst part is the fact that this is an OAD release. Meaning the native resolution is only 480p which really does not serve modern anime. If this was in HD, it would obviously be 2good2breal. I shouldn't have to explain what type of masterpiece this would be if it was uncencored, so I won't. As a whole this is pretty much the funniest special I can think of.
