The spring 2020 series Food Wars! Strong Plate may be shifting to a tentative summer 2020 series if not the fall but for those that haven’t engaged in the show before, it’s about to be a good time. Netflix previously scheduled it for a June 20th, 2020 debut after missing their initial date and I missed the go-live date check for it. The series has indeed gone live and it has some decent of unexpected options for it. While it retains the expected language tracks of English and Japanese, it offers up English subtitles, Spanish subtitles, Arabic subtitles, and Brazilian Portuguese subtitles.
The season has Yoshitomo Yonetani directing it based on the scripts from Shogo Yasukawa. Tomoyuki Shitaya is handling the character designs with JC Staff once again handling the animation production.
The series comes from Yuto Tsukuda and Shun Saeki that began in 2012 and has thirty-six volumes out in Japan when all is said and done. Viz Media has been bringing it over here while the anime has been coming out with a couple of well-received seasons so far of the anime distributed by Sentai Filmworks.
