About Food Wars! The Third Plate

Food Wars! The Third Plate (食戟のソーマ 餐ノ皿) arrives as a comedy anime by J.C.STAFF (2017), and the premise is easy to summarize. What the story covers: At the Moon Festival, Totsuki Academy’s annual gourmet jubilee, students wage fierce culinary war as they try to out-earn their peers by selling the most of their chosen cuisine. Souma Yukihira, however, has his sights set on a grander prize: challenging the Elite Ten, who rule over the academy with iron fists.

Beyond that: Souma might have to put his grand ambitions on hold for the time being, because an insidious scheme to upset the balance of Totsuki Academy has begun to emerge from the shadows…

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Souma Yukihira (Yoshitsugu Matsuoka) and Erina Nakiri (Hisako Kanemoto) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
