Anime is probably the next best thing after ice cream. It's addictive, fun and some of them make you lose your mind trying to crack it's code. I started watching anime a few years ago and fell madly in love with them and all that's Japanese.
Shokugeki no Soma or food wars, is in my view, a hysterical, orgasmic and tough look at food made by prodigies, each one better than the other. Season 1 followed the life of our protagonist, Soma Yukihira, who sets out to become one of the greatest chefs in the world and to one day, surpass even his father. He along with his father run a locally acclaimed deli. But, when his father suddenly gets into a lot of travelling, he gives Soma a chance to prove himself in cooking and enrols him in the Totsuki Culinary Academy. With more than a thousand aspirants fighting neck to neck to enter this world renowned institute, season 1 follows the challenges and face offs that students have to face to survive.
We end with season 1 on the century's worst cliffhanger and as all anime fans, you really need to have patience to be able to watch any show completely. After a long wait of almost a year, we're back with season 2 and it honestly has our expectations set high. This season will probably change the entire dynamics of the academy and that we will get to see a lot more action (pun intended) and heat during the cook offs. We're hoping that questions about Soma's father and his family are answered and we get a bit of flashback work. Also, the speculations about the love-hate relationship between Soma and Erina are bubbling around the new season as we wait for a few details to be revealed.
As of what I've seen till now, season 2 seems to be more of work and less of play. It seems to have less comical elements as compared to season 1, but the overall storyline is definitely more gripping. Portrayal of Soma is almost too unrealistic seeing him win every challenge set in front of him, but I'm expecting a really strong and unexpected fall with the end of this season (that could actually build up the tension for season 3).
Right now, I'm just glued to my computer every Saturday watching the latest episode. Only time will tell if this new season was worth the hype and the long wait.
