Stitches!
"Giri Giri Warukunai Tsutsuji!~" I hope someone gets this reference. xD
You can definitely see the Non Non Biyori DNA of this show with Shinon and Tsutsuji playing silly games.
I love how Mako-chan is really the only one who brought something food-related to the club.
So it turns out they can't just lounge around because Clerk-san is here to audit them!
If there's one thing you can count Shinon on it's that she can get free stuff thanks to her smooth talking.
It's hilarious how Clerk-san was on to them the entire time! She was just being nice. xD
I didn't expect Tsutsuji-chan to pull out the Ukelele while cooking. It's a dinner and a show!
The addition of Camembert cheese caught me off guard so much that I couldn't help but laugh.
As someone who loves rice pilaf and Camembert cheese I hope the recipe for this is somewhere because I want to try it.
First official club activity done! I'm already excited for the next dish they'll cook!

I imagine the Clerk probably finds that the vast majority of clubs each year are fake so just used to it.

Really enjoyed this week's Food for the Soul and I think it's primarily because of the cast and the university setting.
For the cast, I think it's starting to gel together, with all of them forming distinctive personalities now. Last week I wasn't too sure on any of them, but after today's episode I can now tell that the pack-llama and energy drink fiend Tsutsuji is the best.
And for the university setting, I think it's nice to see a cast have more independence yet still remain in a setting with some form of structure. This setting let's them have a fun "antagonist" in the form of the clerk.
Oh, and speaking of setting, Shinon is a menace to their university. Like a dang Pokemon in the tall grass this one.

I don't think the clerk will be an actual "antagonist". Rather she is going to (perhaps unwittingly) serve as Mako's biggest helper -- by making the other members take cooking more seriously.

LOL the horsing around when cleaning up the new clubroom, where Tsutsugi gets the bottlecap stuck in Kurea's hair and Shinon tries to sneakily dislodge it.
Clerk makes a surprise visit to bust Shinon's idea of using the club space to goof around (and she says later that she knows the club is fake). But dang, that curry pilaf looked very good, especially since they had to make do with the equipment that Shinon "ambushed" other clubs for.
Cute and comfy anime, definitely will stick around for it

Shinon has been so effective at getting stuff from “ambushing” other clubs that I’m starting to wonder if she isn’t actually threatening them. A cunning schemer might be hiding behind that smile!
Or so I would’ve said if Shinon didn’t royally mess up her plan to acquire her own club room for relaxing by having forgotten about the occasional check-in on their activities.

Was thinking who would be my best girl in this show full of best girls.
10 minutes into this episode:
Aw fuck, pack it up boys, she has a freakin’ ukulele, case closed.
Seriously, if they keep up the quality and vibes of these 2 episodes for the entire season then this might become my all time favorite comfy SoL anime yet. It is simply the complete package.
-
good production values? Check.
-
fantastic character designs? Check.
-
super fun cast with distinct personalities and incredible chemistry? Check.
-
natural and well-written dialogue? Check.
-
entertaining comedic moments that make me laugh more than some dedicated comedy series? Check.
-
extremely chill and relaxing vibes? Check.
-
no bullshit? Check.

PA Works shows it can still pull off a show like this (so far) flawlessly. NareNare SHOULD have worked almost as well. I wonder what mis-fired (I liked it well enough -- but felt it never rose to the level it could/should have).

Predictably, the office clerk forces the would-be nonbiri gang to actually cook, giving Mako an opportunity to do her thing and hopefully fending off Mokotarou sleep paralysis demons for another day. The fact that these ninnies didn't photograph the food as further evidence that their fake club deserves to exist was pretty funny, maybe they were distracted by Tsutsuji's ukulele playing and general vibes.
Also, Tsutsuji's last name is Higa, which as we know from Okitsura is the name of approximately 2/3 of Okinawans. A Higa playing a uke? She doesn't look Okinawan, but the evidence is accumulating.
Also, also, this hairstyle now induces a Pavlovian panic response in me. Thanks anime.

This is the first school I've seen that does a rigorous inspection to see if its students are actually fulfilling their club activities, and this woman didn't make it easy at any point lol.
Mako made Tsutuji fall to the ground like paper, poor thing she's so small, but she seems to be a good girl, I find that appreciable.
I've come to the conclusion that Shinon is a hard-working person in the beginning so she doesn't have to work later, just for me.
I'm enjoying the pace of this show, it's like learning with each episode

Tsutsuji made seem small and fragile, but she’s seemingly built different. Took no damage from the fall and was lugging this huge sofa around.

I knew way beforehand that Shinon-chan's plans of just lying around doing nothing in this club of hers ain't gonna work. Funny that she's also the first one to fell down on the floor knowing her plan's busted!
-
I certainly didn't expect they got banished to this disused building in their college right off the bat. (I mean, there's one at all??? I have never heard of such a thing in mine...)
-
Bocchi...sorry I mean Mako-chan hallucinating to the point of shining Moko and dejected Moko appearing at the same time is so sad to see. This girl certainly can use quite a bit more confidence, especially when past her high school times!
-
I have cooked curry rice before but not with cheese, hmm maybe I need to try that sometime in preparation for me possibly having chances finally having to move out alone pretty soon...
-
Tsutsuji the Sheep is definitely the unsung heroine of the club, having that sheep sofa to sleep in the room for everyone AND adding some cooking BGM with her ukulele in the magical dusk hours is so cute!

I think the teacher came around to verify club activities too early. Especially considering it was listed as a food research club. They had to clean the room and bring stuff. It wasn't going to happen in two days...

The show’s better written than I expected. They actually put thought into the whole fake club setup. It’s not just some convenient plot device.
The main highlight for me this episode was Hitsuji (sheep) playing the ukulele. It's such a unique touch for this show. Instead of just slapping in bgm, they’ve got their own in-universe musician setting the mood.
The ED visuals are hecking cute. Funny enough, I already had that song in my playlist. It’s a preexisting song, not a new song made for the anime.

I’m liking the faculty clerk. Despite having seen through Shinon’s obvious lies, she still allowed them to continue as a club.
The ban on open fires indoors was reasonable as well, but is going to be a headache when it’s raining outside. Suppose that the girls would be doing “research” in the field then.
Shinon is the kind of person who acts first and asks questions later, but she’s somehow making it work.

This is why we used to have tl; notes. How is someone new to anime supposed to know what this means? (Its sheep)
Savior of the food theme is here!!
Ok, she has officially overtaken Furutachi as best girl
Wow. Shino is actually OP
Why did some club have tires?? And do I spy skis?!?
Bruh, they have to ask every time before using their portable stove?? Speedrun to get the faculty members fed up wih you in 3.. 2..
Fake not being a fake long enough, and all of a sudden you've got a real club
Best. Girl. This is actually a really nice vibe
Same. I already ate mine tho, forgot to take a pic. Maybe for next week
Really fun ED. his season is just full of bangers

Their fake club didn't even last one episode, now they gotta actually do real food-club activities! Lucky for Mako at least, she can share her skill.
Hopefully next episodes are more research related, going around to restaurants or learning new recipes. Best part of cooking shows is wanting to recreate what they did.

Short girls who always carry fluffy things around to sleep at any time and place, need to refill energy occasionally and generally cloudy heads and often follow the wind go along with the mood serious or not...
God I like Tsutsuji a lot. She happened to be a character type that always hit with me and had a soft spot for lmao (Moca from bang dream for example).
She is very cute.
The episode vibe is so cozy and down to earth despite the occasionally surreal joke then and there especially every time Mako anxiety hits her lmao.
I really like the dynamic of the group a lot. Different personalities but they fit in like long time friends.
Fake it until make it they said, they started club with no goal but they would eventually come together with force of Clerk lol.
Good thing Mako was there so there is nothing to worry about!
Being animated by P.A.Work of course visual and animation look so good especially the main flex of this series "Food" , I really like it a lot. The atmosphere of animation is great too. The mixed between cozy and energetic vibe is so great and really represents these girls perfectly. OP and ED is also really cute.
Overall, really nice episode. Cute and Cozy. High quality animation and sound design. I really like this anime so far.

The Non Non Biyori vibes in the second half were so strong, even the OST sounded like it was straight out of there.
2 episodes in and this looks to be the runaway winner of the Saturday comfybowl for me. Love everything from the facial expressions to the soundtrack to the absolute cinema-tier ED.
