    Synopsis:

    Following intense training, brothers Takumi and Isami Aldini enjoy a leisurely holiday exploring Tokyo. Their sightseeing takes an unexpected turn when they meet Megumi Tadokoro, Ryouko Sakaki, and Yuuki Yoshino, who are also visiting the city. A shared meal at a traditional restaurant leads to a spirited culinary competition among the group.

    Separately, Erina Nakiri, already prepared for the upcoming Autumn Elections, finds her summer break unexpectedly altered by an invitation from her cousin Alice to a public pool. Initially reluctant, she embraces the opportunity to experience something outside her usual routine. Meanwhile, the students of Polar Star Dormitory organize a casual lakeside gathering, seeking relaxation and camaraderie before the start of the elections. The series explores themes of familial bonds, personal growth through unexpected experiences, and the subtle contrasts between structured ambition and spontaneous enjoyment.

      I don't think Food Wars needed an ova since it didn't really explain much or anything, but it was fun to watch at least. Expect some of the same over the top reactions from the series and you'll enjoy this still. The first episode is just some of the characters going on a site seeing trip and trying some traditional Japanese food since most of them are not Japanese native. This leads to a decent food challenge towards the second half. The second episode has Alice and Erina going to a public pool on a hot day and the Polar star crewplus Mito hanging out near a lake, eating shaved ice, barbecuing, and such. The second episode was worth the watch just to see Erina and Alice in their swimsuits. nnThe art is pretty consistent with what you expect the series have. The same goes for the sound. nnLike most ovas, it doesn't really add anything new to the character portion of the show, but it shouldn't make you learn to hate anyone either.nnI enjoyed watching these even though nothing important really happens. I wish Mito was in a swimsuit too, but oh well. Fans of Food Wars should enjoy this, but you might not if you didn't enjoy the show all that much.

      Very tiny spoilers ahead. This OVA is non-essential to the plot, so unless you just want more Shokugeki you can just skip to the second season. Nonetheless, I highly recommend it, it's good fun and it does have a tiny bit of character development for some side characters like the Aldini brothers. Otherwise, the quality is the same as the first season in all other aspects, it's just that the story itself isn't in any way significant to the plot. It's a very interesting watch if you're interested in seeing more of the side characters of the show, since Souma himself barely appears in these two episodes (in thefirst one he only appears for a minute at the end).

      This 2 OVAs deserve higher score. This time the MC is not Soma, but Aldini's brothers and Erina. Characters well-rounded, faithful to the series. I love Takumi, he is one of my favorite characters, and I love seeing his cooking with his brother. As italian, I think it's impossibile not liking Aldini's brothers. Honestly I want to see more of Takumi, seeing him cook and above all SPEAK ITALIAN is wonderful. I also loved Erina's ova, I like the development she is having. PS. Takumi seems in love with Soma😂 You will enjoy it cuz funny and good story as always.
