The series premiered in Japan on July 2, and ended on September 24. HERO TV began airing the first season on March 8.
The main cast and staff from the first season reprised their roles in the sequel. The second season's cast includes:

Yoshitomo Yonetani (Gaogaigar, Betterman) directed the anime at J.C. Staff. Shogo Yasukawa (Terraformars, Hyperdimension Neptunia, Invaders of the Rokujyōma!?) was in charge of the series' scripts, and Tomoyuki Shitaya (Bakuman., BlazBlue Alter Memory, Hatsukoi Limited) designed the characters. Jin Aketagawa was the sound director, and Tatsuya Katou (Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya, Free! - Iwatobi Swim Club, Medaka Box) composed the soundtrack.

The television anime series adapts Yūto Tsukuda and Shun Saeki's Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma manga. The first anime season aired for 24 episodes from May to September last year.
The manga centers on Sōma, who works with his dad at his family's restaurant. His dad is a culinary master, and he often hosts cooking battles with his father. His father then enrolls him in an elite culinary school that is very difficult to enter, and the graduation rate is only about 10 percent.
