The 2nd Plate to be served to in July

The epic cooking anime Shokugeki no Sōma returns this July.

Shokugeki no Sōma, one of the most successful anime series of 2015 returns this summer season for its second season titled Shokugeki no Sōma: Ni no Sara (The second plate). The promotional video began streaming on the official Food Wars! Shokugeki no Sōma website.

The opening text of the promo reads “The Jewel Generation, the person who stands at the summit is . . .. “. The promo then launches into a character introduction sequence which confirms the return of the original voice cast from season one before finally closing off with Sōma Yukihira saying “I’m going to quit cooking.

For those of us who follow the manga the promo gives a pretty good impression of which arcs are expected to be covered by offering up glimpses of the Autum Election finals and the Stagiaire Trials. The question now remains, where will the season end?

On Sunday the website also began to stream the preview video for the original anime episode which is expected to be released on July 4th.

The original 25 minute anime will follow Sōma and his friends on a little vacation at some point before the Autumn Elections.

When the anime first launched last year no one really knew what to expect. For a simple anime about a kid going to a cooking school, Food Wars brought a level of action, intensity and comedy that no one really expected. I for one was instantly converted into a lifelong fan and for those of you who haven’t yet seen it, it’ll only take the first episode to leave you craving more.

As we anxiously patiently await the arrival of this new season be sure to keep an eye on The Buttonsmashers for all updates leading up to the premier this summer.
