Crunchyroll handled Food Wars: The Third Plate as part of the fall 2017 anime season and when that finished out we learned that the second half of it would be landing as part of the spring 2018 season when it’ll return on April 8th, 2018 on Tokyo MX and BS 11 at 24:30, which is where it was before. Crunchyroll brought new episodes out every Tuesday at 12:30pm ET for members and we expect that it’ll be the same come spring. Ahead of that, however, we now have a new key visual that you can see to the right and a new TV spot below that gives us a taste of the new opening theme song “Symbol” from Luck Life.
The previous seasons were directed by Yoshitomo Yonetani, the series is being animated at JC Staff with Shogko Yasukawa handling the scripts and Tomoyuki Shitaya working on the character design adaptations. It’ll star Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Soma Yukihira, Risa Taneda as Erina Nakir, Minami Takahashi as Megumi Tadokoro, Ikumi Mito as Shizuka Ishigami, Maaya Uchida as Yūki Yoshino, Ai Kayano as Ryōko Sakaki, Taishi Murata as Shun Ibusaki, Yūsuke Kobayashi as Zenji Marui, Ai Kakuma as Mayumi Kurase, Rina Hidaka as Urara Kawashima, Banjo Ginga as Senzaemon Nakiri and Rikiya Koyama as Joichiro Yukihira.

Plot Concept: Soma Yukihira’s old man runs a small family restaurant in the less savory end of town. Aiming to one day surpass his father’s culinary prowess, Soma hones his skills day in and day out until one day, out of the blue, his father decides to enroll Soma in a classy culinary school!
