The main cast returns once again since no one really dies in the show. You actually care about the cast since you know sooner or later they will have screen time along with some purpose, even if it is moaning in pure orgasmic pleasure. The best part about SnS is that even though it has a huge cast, it somehow manages to make everyone useful. Or do you want to have a convenient excuse for when you lose?' - Kurokiba Ryou 'Come at me with all your might you pretentious elite bastard. It is sad that the season ends midway to the central arc with one huge reveal but maybe next season's plot would be better executed. You will always start watching every episode with a big grin and end the episode with even a bigger grin, because, you know why. Although the first arc, Moon Festival, is really well done with it's pacing and plot development the second arc, Central, is just one unrealistic & ridiculous plot line where nothing makes sense but it's enjoyable to watch since it's a chain of shokugeki after shokugeki tossed in with delicious fanservice to quench viewers' thirst. It's wise to watch the OVA before watching this so you have a back story on who the Elite 10s are. The story is alright, not too complicated but just slightly predictable. If you enjoyed S1 a lot and felt S2 could've been better then you will surely have a table flip moment while watching S3 thinking for a manga that's widely popular and well funded, why the hell can't they pour money into it to do justice this show deserves. It's also important to note that the anime adaptation does not deviate too far from the source manga. I guess over the top fanservice can save any show after all, provided if executed right. Fortunately, Shokugeki no Soma - Sana no Sara somehow pulls it together to make it work for the fans albeit it's crappy plot arcs and dismal animation laziness. to get it consistently right day after day is difficult. The recipe is very simple yet the execution If there is one genre that can always hype people up time after time, it's the classic shounen genre in anime. 'I mean a new wave is coming, you know? Riding it is way more exciting' - Rindo Kobayashi TL DR: This show has hype, humour, fan service, stakes getting crazy high and unexpected twists and turns all in 20 minutes. If you did not watch S1 or S2 then go watch them ASAP before reading this!
