"You both are my wings!" Yeah, I also want to cry out like him.
But no one here.

It had a good sense of reality that he didn't choose one. If he chose Ringo, he would have failed in farming like his father. This was a time to think about his future life, but not to determine it.

Well, let me go seriously.

Nourin shows the subjects of agriculture business and of the countryside in Japan consistently. These are terribly heavy issues, such as most of the farmers in Japan would disappear within 10 years by TPP (Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement). However, because of the difficulty to solve them, a lot of the people are not even trying to think seriously.

Now the many fans of Nourin in my country believe that the Nourin author deals many humor to soften it. By doing so, he tries to make us think about them.

It's trash to people not related to that, but it's a important anime to a person who is relevant that. That's why I think that Nourin is important anime in this season, because I am realated to that.
Therefore, overall 10/10.

Ms. Becky said she used to "kick up the jams" (At least in the subtitles I read) but the term is "Kick OUT the jams" which is a song by MC5, covered by Blue Oyster Cult and sung about by The KLF...

I expected this anime to be terrible, but it ended up making me laugh the most this season. Kei was the best character, too bad they kicked him out the final 2 episodes. (minus the epilogue)

Possibly one of the two best comedy of the season, along with Seitokai Yakuindomo.

Bekki needs more love.

This show used to have a 8/10 rating, but after such a boring and outright horrible ending I'm not sure how to rate this. First: What? Was it just me or did the whole wedding+pregnant thing feel really weird and forced due to the lack of episodes left? I was so disturbed by the fact that Kousaku didn't stop the wedding in time (because honestly, we all knew he was going to go for the other girl in the end).. I feel sorry for the childhood friend. Hopefully she finds someone with a tad bit more backbone. I have no idea how he had the nerve to praise Ringo saying she was his first hope and what not. He completely forgot about his childhood friend that stood up for him during those tough years. Blah. I'm sick of this harem bullshit.

This anime is good the first couple of episodes. The top was definitely the panties episode and all the interaction between Kie and Kousaka.

This show had alot of funny moments, and the art was bloody amazing. Characters could be seen as boring, but I kinda liked them anyways. As a comedy this series had potential, but it failed as a harem.

Verdict for now: 7/10

As usual, these animes can't have an ending where the male protagonist picks on. This is just one of the many things I hate about RomCom animes.

Kei and Yoshida... Yoshida got a new pair of underwear and Kei stands proudly, I wonder what happened in the city O.O
I believe that unless you know for sure that you don't like a concept, you should keep exploring it. Whether it be characteristics of people or a genre of some sort, you never know if you don't like it until you've seen quality work corresponding to that genre. Keep exploring until you've found something you enjoy, or something of quality. Then you know what's bad, what's good, and what isn't for you.

Good comedy , bad generic indecisive main character that leads to harem I pick no-one end , first 10 episodes are around a 7/10 , but the end just ruins the build up.

Kousaku grew up with Minori... how come he don't have feelings for her?? dammit!! why do they always do this to childhood friends?? I don't have anything against Ringo but Minori is better than her in everything

also the drama was I don't know.. misplaced?? Kousaku was corny and this just doesn't feel right.. I thought this was all comedy

that indecisive MC.. damn.. welp at least this anime didn't piss me off more than Strike the Blood did and also it reminded me of Harvest Moon, one of my most favorite games

Perhaps not the best ending, but that aside, there was ample enjoyment to be had from this series as a whole. Might not have tied up all the loose ends in the story, but it certainly did a hell of a lot better than other romcoms in the plot and development section. Looking forward to a second season, if it ever gets one.

Laughs equate score. Saved this terrible season.

Can't say it was an amaizing anime but still, way better than Mahou Sensou. I really liked Nourin but during the entire series I was hoping for Ringo's and Koutan's relationship to develop more :/ Guess I was asking too much for a comedy-based anime, though a ending in which he made his mind would've been nice counting it'll never have a second season.

5/5

Unfortunately Kou as the protagonist is not very useful, it is not time and still good, but the gap is filled by the rest of the team, but not tapped as it should.
Final pleasant and thoughtful, less comedy but more seriousness which is good if done well. Here perhaps are unable to prove it! ^ ^ "
Drawing sufficient, and animations on the same level.
Perhaps the beginning was not the best, but over time the series is milgiorata, but could improve even more. To be reviewed in order to understand better the differences between it and Silver Spoon.
Most sympathetic character for me Becky, but the others are thick, except the protagonist! LOL
Final rating that goes from 6/10 to 7/10! For now!

Very nice the opening!

Damn, one inch from the harem ending. But I must say that it was funny :P
How to ruin an inspirationnal speech xD

But they didn't concluded the romance! Damn you, autor! Even more that I don't think this serie would get a second season, maybe a random side-story OVA.

I laughed my ass off when Kei got out of that plane looking like a rock star. What the fuck happened?! xD

Anyway, it was a fun ride, though, I didn't liked it as much as Baka Test. Maybe it's because Baka Test was even more ridiculous with less fanservice, I don't know.

Man, I actually think they should have had him say, "Yes, I like Ringo more" at the end, even if that's not what happens in the source material. I mean, unless they're planning a second season, they could totally have resolved the romance there and it would have worked. It wouldn't have been amazing or anything, but it would have worked.

And I think if they'd written his speech correctly they could have avoided "I like Ringo more" = "I like the city more" and not contradicted the whole deal that got brought up in his conversation with Minori's sister.

Oh well, it was a good series overall. Funny, and, though they maybe missed an opportunity for a smart adaptation at the end, had some decent serious parts too.

That quote is bothering me. I feel like he was referencing Alto from Macross Frontier, but I can't remember.

EDIT:
never mind, he does quote Macross Frontier (About 13 minutes into the last episode).

I have a question about the ending scene.

You know, when Miss Pink-haired Boing Boing returned to Japan, she was seen getting off the plane with a blond dude. Since she just returned from studying in USA (right?), I assume that must be her new boyfriend?

The anime does not show anything about their overseas adventures, so I have to ask:

1) Why did she break up with Kei? Was it explained in the light novel?

2) Who's this new guy? Is he going to be a new character in Season 2?

Would appreciate if someone can answer my questions. Thanks! :)

He was Kei himself.
If you watched the scene carefully, you could understand it easily. And It was perfectly referenced from Char Aznable, the character from the Gundam. Char in the work of the Gundam said , "Nobody ever likes to admit to mistakes due to his own youth". Maybe, it was linked Kei's negativity to go studying in overseas before. It was also linked his struggle against his father.

If a mediocre author wrote a mediocre LN out of which a mediocre studio made a mediocre adaptation, this would be it. Generic, mediocre, displaying uninspired characters with a last-minute aesop thrown into it. I admit a few of the jokes were funny though. 5/10.

Yeah, I liked some of the jokes, especially the ones about Becky, but at the same time I have to say this anime isn't top of the range. At first, when I saw the description, I thought it might be something like Pet of Sakurasou, but Nourin didn't quite make it.

Haha nice one Kousaku, "You're both my wings".

Going on, this last ep would be my favorite of the bunch. Overall, the series was pretty decent. Good story, comedy sometimes lame, but the lessons in agriculture (along with Silver Spoon) and the well drawn scenery made it relaxing to watch, though Kousaku's voice was not too relaxing for me, the VA could've done a Tsuda like voice, but I guess that matches his personality (just my 2 cents).

7/10.

I really find it stupid that they use 2 episodes to build up to a touching ending then ruin it by making it a joke...

would have given it nearly 8,5/10 but because they had to ruin the nice build up for the ending by making it a joke... I say 6/10
