The article states that the original run has finished in 2015. However
it was revealed that there will be a second season in 2016. This news came in 2015 from the studio behind the series. I propose removing the ending date.--

Until there are confirmed dates and clarification on whether there is a new season versus a new series, it is best to leave the dates as they are. The series isn't currently airing right now, but removing the date would indicate to the reader that it is. —Farix (

Okay, I need to bring this up on the talk page to clear up confusion: Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma is the official title by Viz Media while Sentai Filmworks just shortens the title to simply Food Wars! and that was the convention used by the episode list before it was moved back. I want to bring this up to see if we can get a consensus whether we should keep the "Shokugeki no Soma" title to the List of Food Wars! episodes, since Sentai will no doubt exclude the "Shokugeki no Soma" title from the episodes when it is licensed. Objections or thoughts?

The Anime Network and Hulu aren't reliable sources though, they're streaming services. Besides, the fact that even they keep "Shokugeki no Soma" as a subtitle is all the more reason to retain it in the title as well. Satellizer el Bridget(Talk)07:17, 24 May 2016 (UTC)reply
Anime dub
So, there is currently a Food Wars English Dub [1] that isn't mentioned in the article; and has it's own release dates. However, I'm unable to get much clear information on the release; except that the DVD of the second series is expected in February 2018.

However, Sōma's fighting spirit is rekindled by a challenge from Jōichirō which is to survive in an elite culinary school, called "Totsuki Teahouse Culinary Academy" where only less than 10% of the students manage to graduate, where he meets many amazing students and experiences new events that allow him to grow further towards his cooking goal.[6]
I've changed this part of the article; as the amount is incorrect. The amount of students that graduate is nearer 1%. They suggested that there was roughly 1000 students in Soma's year, and during the opening address, Senzaemon Nakiri says that 10% would make it to the second year, and that you can count on your fingers who would actually graduate. The reference is the same as the one supplied; and I think the quote was misunderstood. — Preceding

Viz Media says 10% at the cover of volume 1 and in the volume itself
[2], but yes, the anime says 10% to second-year and 1% for graduation. I've added a footnote to that effect, but it will have to be combed through in the later manga volumes what the actual graduation percentage is.

Chapter 4 refers to the number of graduates per year being counted on a single hand, so I've modified the verbiage for that. The same statement is repeated in a later volume. Senzaemon later talks about 99% of the students are there to polish out the 1% of the good ones. Vol. 3

Basically, you're expecting me to know this stuff like my life depended on it. Really now, Farix? I don't need your passive aggression.

If you are going to edit in a specific topic area, then it is expected that you have some knowledge in that area. However, you seem to take this "know-nothing" attitude, as was seen with your edits to Junji Ito Collection where you declared that a reliable source should't be used because you though it was "too disorganized" because not listing every voice actor had a role listed yet. —Farix (

Some show(s) can go from october to december, 'takes new year's off' or any show can do that, it may take a week off for a holiday, in this case was new year's, some few weeks ago, etc. If it goes beyond it's 12/13 episode run, like the current season of
garo or skip a season and start back up in april. But then usually
ann reports said stuff (later on of an hour, day, etc.)

I think we need to re-evaluate how the licensor is shown in the article and infobox. Sentai Filmworks has all the rights to the first 2 seasons, so that simple enough, but season 3 is where it gets weird. Sentai appears to only have dub streaming (like the Funimation-Crunchyroll partnership) and home video rights, whereas Crunchyroll has sub streaming and television broadcasting, the ladder of which is shown by the
Crunchyroll News article announcing it airing on Toonami, literally saying "Crunchyroll delivers more culinary competition to Adult Swim's block". The fourth season onwards appears to be all Crunchyroll because they have the dub on their service as well as the sub, and they're streaming it on HBO Max. Sentai is releasing the fourth season on home video via
their home video partnership with Crunchyroll. I just think we need a consensus of some kind on how to properly represent this in the article and infobox with all this information taken into account.

From when
I asked for a similar case a few years ago, I was told that consensus was to list the master licensee only if known, and if that cannot be determined, then list everyone in the infobox. So list Sentai Filmworks only for season 1 and 2. For season 4 onwards, list Crunchyroll only. For season 3, list both.

magnolia berries
In the bear meat episode, the main character Soma uses "magnolia berries" steeped in sake.
[3] I never heard of magnolia seeds used as food, but further search revealed that it was actually the berries of the
Chinese magnolia-vine aka "five-flavor-fruit".
I'll be picking this up for review. It's been a while since I did one of these things so it may take some time, so I apologize if it takes a while. Right now I have three immediate concerns: the lede is a bit short, making no mention about the manga's creation or reception, as well as other media it inspired such as video games. In addition, the creation section is a bit on the short side too, having no mention about the anime's production (i.e. how and when it was greenlit, and any differences from the manga, if applicable). Finally, the reception section itself is quite short, making no mention about Japanese or English reviews, as well as if inspired anything (i.e. legacy).

As mentioned earlier, the article still needs to be fleshed out. The lede needs to mention more about the series' creation, the anime, other related media such as video games, and critical reception. The critical reception section also needs to include more information about reviews, mainly for the manga but also for the anime if applicable.

The article still needs a bit of work before reaching GA status, but it shouldn't be too difficult to reach. I would suggest that you could collaborate with other editors of the article, such as
Link20XX,
AngusWOOF,
Xexerss and
Smeagol 17 when it comes to addressing the remaining concerns. Overall, the article isn't quite ready for GA status yet, but I'm not going to fail the nomination now and I will give maybe a week or two for any remaining issues to be addressed.

Ok, cool. I've made a start. I think it likely just needs a better reception, and some mention of how it came to be. Let me do a little research. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski(

The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
ALT1: ... that prior to writing Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma, a
manga series about food, Yūto Tsukuda wrote series about soccer and ski jumping? Source: Same as ALT0
ALT1a: ... that prior to writing Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma, a
manga series about food, its writer wrote series about soccer and ski jumping? Source: Same as ALT0
Comment: ALT2 is my least favorite option, but is given here as a backup. As for ALT1/ALT1a, I'm not sure if the hooks should say "soccer" or "football", but I went with soccer because that was the term used in the article. Other suggestions are welcome.
Overall: Nice work to everyone who contributed to this article. My favorite hook is the original hook, followed by ALT1. (I think ALT1a is a bit redundant, since it's basically saying "the writer wrote the series". ALT2 is also not as interesting as the others.)
