Ecchi is used a little too liberally. When it's used in the first few episodes, it's done for emphasis on the effect on the eaters. But the fact that it's now used in nearly every instance of food consumption has caused it to lose its effect as a tool and is truly just fan service at this point.
BUT... the rest of the series is SO good. Over the top dramatic moments paired with over the top musical score and characters who mature and grow... All great stuff. Some ridiculous moments still bring the laughs and the food p0rn is the stuff of culinary wet dreams. Not for kids or prudes. But if you liked Paul Verhoven's take on Starship Troopers, then i feel there's a similar use of hyperbole for entertaining effect in this series. Can't wait for the next season!
