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.

This was a very cute special. I love seeing rich ojou-sama types have to try and blend in with plebeian society and being inept as basic things like household chores and such. Erina was once depicted as the big bad of the show, despite only ranking 10th among the elite students. Now the last season did a lot to humanize her and this special is just a continuation of those themes. Her haughtiness is almost been completely done away with and supplanted with her more tsundere personality. I predict even more romantic tension with Souma going forward, and plenty more opportunity for her to humbleherself in her new lifestyle. 8/10

Erina at polar star dormitory is a one episode OVA that is chronologically after the 6th episode of the first part of the third season of Shokugeki no Souma. It has no signifiance for the main plot. In one scene it refers to the OVA the accompanied the second season but this is not significant and it won't affect the anime if you haven't watched that OVA. The story consists of two parts. In the first part Erina lives life at Polar Star dormitory and gets confused by basic tasks such as laundy and vaccuum cleaning which is pretty cute. The second part is a fanservice/ecchipart where the group heads to the public baths and ends up meeting one of the elite 10 members. The characters are the members of the polar star dormitory + Alice, Ryo and Arato. The animation, voice acting and music are the same as in the third season. Overall this is an okay OVA and it can be fun to watch if you enjoy the main anime. There's no cooking battles here but it's pretty cute and the characters are entertaining.
