Once a fairly prominent franchise, the Food Wars! manga and anime adaptation have both been somewhat forgotten as the years have gone by. However, streamers can now relive every meal or try them for the first time in a more cohesive manner.

The second season of Food Wars! is soon coming to the Hulu streaming service, years after it and the first season were removed from anime streamer Crunchyroll. This means that fans can finally stream the entire series again, even if it requires different platforms. With two viewing options, it’s the perfect way to celebrate a major birthday for the anime.

Hulu Turns Up the Heat With Season 2 of Shonen Jump’s Food Wars Anime Series

Per a press release detailing the programs coming to the popular streaming platform in the coming months, Food Wars! Season 2 (also known as Food Wars: The Second Plate) is heading to Hulu in one month. The anime’s second season is being added on Sept. 18, and fans can watch it in both English subbed or dubbed form. It’s one of a handful of anime coming to the platform in September, with others including the first season of The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior. The second season of Food Wars was 13 episodes long — almost half the length of the preceding season. It roughly adapted the 13th and 14th volumes of the original manga by Yuto Tsukuda and Shun Saeki.

The first season of Food Wars! is already available on Hulu, and the addition of its second season finally adds a missing piece to the anime’s streaming experience. Crunchyroll still has the third, fourth and fifth seasons of Food Wars!, but for the last three years, it’s lacked the first two when they were removed from the service. This was apparently due to licensing agreements, especially as they concerned the former Funimation streaming service. Thus, fans can finally watch the first two seasons again before finishing the anime, although doing so will require having both Hulu and Crunchyroll (for now).

Starting in 2012, the Food Wars! manga by Tsukuda and Saeki ran until 2019 and released 36 volumes in total. Produced by J.C. Staff, the anime adaptation had a total of 86 episodes that aired between 2015 and 2020. Thus, the streaming completion of the anime comes 10 years after the first season initially aired, making for one tasty anniversary.
