Review of Food Wars! The Third Plate OVA - Erina's New Life

Erina at polar star dormitory is a one episode OVA that is chronologically after the 6th episode of the first part of the third season of Shokugeki no Souma. It has no signifiance for the main plot. In one scene it refers to the OVA the accompanied the second season but this is not significant and it won't affect the anime if you haven't watched that OVA. The story consists of two parts. In the first part Erina lives life at Polar Star dormitory and gets confused by basic tasks such as laundy and vaccuum cleaning which is pretty cute. The second part is a fanservice/ecchipart where the group heads to the public baths and ends up meeting one of the elite 10 members.

The characters are the members of the polar star dormitory + Alice, Ryo and Arato. The animation, voice acting and music are the same as in the third season.

Overall this is an okay OVA and it can be fun to watch if you enjoy the main anime. There's no cooking battles here but it's pretty cute and the characters are entertaining.
