Having completed their Stagiaire assignments, the residents of Polar Star Dormitory and their friends visit a hot springs inn. Though they planned on relaxing, these young chefs step up to the plate when the inn's entire kitchen staff suffer accidents. Unbeknownst to them, they will not be cooking for any ordinary patrons. Sometime after this trip, Souma Yukihira's desire for worthy opponents is stoked when he, Megumi Tadokoro, and the other Autumn Election quarter-finalists are invited to the annual Autumn Leaves Viewing event. The eight Tootsuki freshmen have a special opportunity to enjoy tea with the Elite Ten Council—including the Tenth Seat Erina Nakiri, who participates alongside her first-year classmates. Though it is framed as a friendly introduction between nine promising underclassmen and nine prestigious upperclassmen, Director Senzaemon Nakiri sees this meeting for what it is: a first encounter between the current reigning elite and their eventual usurpers.

Mixed Feelings

Well these two ova were fun to watch and the enjoyment is guaranteed. The first ova is your typical hot springs trip, where a lot of misunderstandings happen. Beside the top notch fanservice our characters also have a little cooking contest where Erina fulfills her duty as the God Tongue . The comedy is also good i found myself laughing at the end of it so it's worth a watch. The second ova is really a must watch because it's the premise before season 3 and it will help you understand what happened if you haven't read the manga. It focuses on the introduction of theElite Ten and the start of the Moon Festival. Despite creating a little tensioned atmosphere between the characters it also doesn't forget its light-hearted comedy to entertain its audience and depict the characters personality traits and quirks.It explains also a lot of stuff about Elite Ten and their influence in Totsuki Academy so it's damn interesting and you don't wanna miss that.

WATCH THIS BEFORE SEASON 3 Tiny spoilers ahead. Compared to the first OVA which was more or less two side stories that aren't that important these two episodes are in my opinion a must-watch before starting season 3. Not only do they have a lot of character development and foreshadowing (especially the first episode), the second one introduces the Elite Ten in a much more well-paced way. The first episode takes a few scenes from the OVA and doesn't linger too much on it, this OVA goes in much more depth. Story-wise, as I said, it's an essential watch in order to fully grasp some characters and motivations(especially Momo-senpai who sadly had 0 character development in the first cour of the third season while in the OVA there are a few scenes where she is more fleshed out). In the other aspects like art, animation, sound, etc. it's consistent with the second season. Also, in the second episode the best character in the whole series appears for the first time: Kobayashi Rindou, so that's a 10/10 by itself in my book.

The OVA for the second season of Shokugeki no Souma has two episodes that should be watched in between the second and first season. The first episode is a hot springs episode but the second episode is about the meeting between the autumn election winners and the elite 10. This event is referenced in later seasons so the second episode is a must watch and should have been included in the main anime. The story in the first episode isn't amazing but it's interesting enough for an OVA hot springs episode. The story for the second episode is very relevant to the main anime sinceit details the meeting between the autumn election winners and the elite 10. On its own the episode has no significant story but it plays a relatively big deal in season 3. The characters are still the same as in season two but in episode 10 the entire elite 10 is revealed as well. The art, voice acting and music are all the same as in the main anime except for the relatively long post-credits scene in the first episode. This post credits scene is about the time Souma made an egg dish for Erina in the first season but this time with purposefully bad animation and I'm unsure as to why it was added. Overall this OVA and particularly the second episode is worth watching and highly relevant to the storyline. If you want more content even if it isn't relelvant to the main story then the first episode can also be fun to watch.

I can't believe I haven't seen these! It's a little late to be reviewing these two episodes, but I'm gonna give it a quick go. I had a lot of fun watching these episodes. One of them was the classic hot springs episode you often get with this type of genre, and that'll always be something I'm happy to watch. Food Wars! has an amazing cast of characters written into it. Each one of them comes off as so unique and colorful, so getting to see an episode where everyone could just hang out, relax, compete with each other, and have an all around good timewas refreshing. I don't have too much to say about the second episode besides the fact that it's a great precursor to the third season. It's got some interesting moments that make it worth a watch. As usual, the art and sound within Food Wars! is awesome, so there's no inconsistency there. I don't know if you could say there was a story to these episodes as one was for fun and the other was a bit of a sneak preview of what's to come, but regardless, it'll get you pumped for the following season for sure.
