Another serving of Food Wars! coming soon

After the wildly successful first season of Food Wars!, fans have been practically starving for the follow-up anime. It will likely appear soon, with the announcement of the upcoming 13-episode Food Wars! The Second Plate.

The series is scheduled for a July 2016 broadcast in Japan, which means it will soon be available through select digital outlets with a home video release to follow. Sentai Filmworks will be offering the series in the U.S.

The company describes the show this way: "Eight of the most talented first-year students of the elite Tohtsuki Academy wage a culinary battle to advance to the next round of the Fall Selection, a kitchen-based showdown that will decide who will rise in the ranks and who will end up on the chopping block. Underdog Soma Yukihira’s cooking may leave his customers begging for another bite, but are his skills enough to face off with opponents as equally talented (and merciless) when it comes to the palate as him?"
