I am an anime-only for the series and I thought that the first episode was a bit unbalanced. On one hand it tried to portray a dark story about a character death and rescue mission and on the other it had these extended, silly cooking sequences. However, after the first episode and we get familiar with the characters it has been much better.
This one is very much an ensemble show in that there is no one main character, but instead it is the adventuring party of four that take turns as main characters depending on the story that is happening at any given time. A show like that lives or dies on how good the characters/chemistry are, but both are very well done in this show. Add to the great characters some great animation by Studio Trigger and it is a show I can recommend.
