Tried reading the manga but couldn't get into it. But I really liked this first episode. Could be a great show.

Let's see here...
OP song is suck for me..
SFX and BGM...WHERE?!!! This series need this 2 the most for SoF anime to make sure it will not bored the audience watching this!
VC...so-so I think but so low voices make me hard to hear and need volume up.
The story, the awkward space between each chp in manga been animated is killing the fun.

God!! Why?!!! The manga is REALLY good and fun to read but when it got animated version, it suck here and there! (;_ ;)...for now, 5.5/10

I enjoyed it, a pretty funny and relaxing episode. I did not like the OP honestly, but I loved the ED.

Also, from what I've heard the OST are pretty good. Btw, I'm hoping for some Aki-Hachiken already.

Yeah but they're not directing it. Not their fault if it's a crappy adaptation.

I remember enjoying the manga much more, but it was a decent episode.

So far this is my favorite of the season. An entertaining and equally realistic portrayal of an agricultural lifestyle, with very high art and production qualities to boot. I'm impressed.

Pretty good start, it was funny at times. The OP is pleasing to hear. The art is quite amazing and along with the out of the norm story made this very refreshing to watch.

I can already see this won't be everyone's cup of tea but I myself am looking forward to the next episode.

I've been waiting months for this! Really happy with the first episode. I enjoyed it even more than I did when I read the manga.
I wish there was more animation but it still looks sharp and very nice. Seiyuu choices are good too.

Looks like it will be a quality adaptation. Yes yes yes!

I... I don't remember why I added this to my summer schedule. There's nothing I find captivating from a glance. After watching this first episode, however, I'm not disappointed. Pretty chill so far, I'll keep going.

Didn't know this was from the same mangaka as FMA, which is funny cause when I heard Sukima Switch that's immediately where my mind jumped.

I think this is going to be really fun to watch each week. It's prob just me but it has a small Hanasaku Iroha vibe to it for some reason. This will prob be one of the better shows to come out this season if the first episode has anything to say about it.

First thing I thought when watching this was Moyashimon.

Anyways, I can relate to Hachiken since my family does tend to do farm-ish stuff and get their own food source sometimes. Including chicken eggs. I don't touch them though.

for the rest, it was good, but felt kinda rushed.

Rushed, you say. You know the point of this episode was to depict a normal day in an agricultural school, so they have to show all the daily events, right?

If you're interested this only covered two chapters from the manga. I think that's the right pace.

The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.

That was enjoyable. The soundtracks are fitting and animation/art were not bad.The pacing was kinda too fast though
Hachiken, I can relate to him and that's a good thing.
That egg thing really hit me when I read the manga and it still hit me when I watched this.
Definitely miss Arakawa's humor.
Good start overall and I love the ending

This was a lot better than I had expected. It's hilarious and very enjoyable. They even censored the chicken's head being cut off haha. I laughed so hard about the egg being poop. In the end Hachiken has to eat the egg and finds out that it's really tasty. "Damn you, anus" xD. I should really try eating a egg with rice like that, stirring the yolk all around the rice. :) miwa doing the OP, oh man it has been ages since I've heard her doing anime themes songs. Sukima Switch is doing the ED too. :D

Totally reminds me of Moyashimon. And the egg! It just really occurred to me that they came from the anus. And it is just in anime where I see raw eggs being put in rice and mixed with soy sauce. Wonder if it is indeed delicious.... hehe.

So does mixing an egg with rice like that really taste that good?

This seems interesting enough. Farming looks like it can be fun to watch.
The one thing that I'd love to see is a lesbian yandere.

Never tried it myself but I've heard it's good (and if the rice is hot enough, it actually partially cooks the egg). It's also a probably the combination of sheer exhaustion and hunger more than the actual taste lol.

A lot better than I expected and I was surprised that they randomly talked about somatic stem cell research (since I haven't read the manga).

Well, if you visit China, it gonna be like that, because they love eating FRESH ingredient. But, that is how China, Japan and Korea(maybe) butcher the chicken to eat... I think .

I don't have an issue with where eggs come from, I do have an issue with the living conditions of the chickens who produce them (and the other animals in our food chain), so it was nice to see Keiji comment on that.


Same here, and I wondered a bit after Keijis comment: Are people in Japan not that concerned with species-appropriate husbandry? I know, it's not that big of a topic everywhere, but I was a bit surprised, that it got brushed off with one sentence....

This totally reminded me of Moyashimon.
Since i enjoyed that series, I may enjoy Silver Spoon as well!

It's been a while since I last watched an anime series WITHOUT any bishonens innit, I kinda miss the mediocre art and innocent humor. Going to watch this till the end from this good first impression of the series! :)
