Pork Bowl.... I hope you're tasty! Totally not drooling here. :L

Ah. I remember watching a documentary about slaughterhouses.... It's pretty gruesome.

Love that Hachiken bought Pork Bowl. :)

The slaughterhouse scene was pretty heavy, especially Aikawa's reaction. And Hachiken tearing up before he ate Pork Bowl..like he said, bittersweet. His development really is handled so well.

So the show built the drama between Hachiken and Pork Bowl for many episodes, and in the last moment... it delivered. Good drama, I liked it.

That comedy bit in the beginning was pretty cliché, though.

I really got the feels when they showed the flashbacks. Really craving pork right about now.

I wonder how that smoked cheese tasted.

Next episode is the last for season 1, and then half a year wait until season two...but it'll be worth it.

Anyway, im surprised with how cheap is a kg of pork meat. Almost half of how much it cost where I live.

It really depends on how far it needs to travel, on top of the quality of meat when raising it. It would have been even cheaper if Hachiken didn't give Pork Bowl extra attention with liquid feed. Pretty sure it would have cost more if Hachiken was still living in the city.

It was sad during the 1st half when Pork-Bowl was being sent away, and I'm surprised that I'm touched during those scenes. Then they began to eat it in the ending scene XD.

Well I was laughing in the beginning when the rumors began to spread between Hachiken and Yoshino XD.

This was one emotional episode. Who would have thought I would have all these feelings just from a pig. Pork Bowl! ;_; It was great that Hachiken bought Pork Bowl himself. Watching the slaughterhouse video must have been quite hard for Hachiken and Aikawa. I really like how Hachiken has matured so much ever since he he first came to the agriculture school. The misunderstandings in this anime is always hilarious. I actually like Hachiken x Yoshino but Hachiken x Mikage is already set in stone. xD

To eat it is to love it.

Interestingly TWO anime this season sends the same message, and it is a message you don't often hear in anime.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

I'm really liking Yoshino more than I remember in the manga.
Aye she is very cute without the whole forced moe-stuff most animegirls tend to have.
Yeah, this a big part of why she's always been one of my favorite characters in this series in spite of her low amount of screen time.

But I also really like her personality, even I do feel sorry for that teacher from time to time ;)

I think he may have been getting the wholesale price rather than the retail price, which would make it significantly cheaper.

Almost teared up this time. Perfect conclusion to the Pork Bowl story, and means a lot more than just shown. I'll be sad to see it end next week.
Check out my eurobeat guide. Who knows, you might find yourself a new favourite genre!

Or anywhere, not surprised it appearing in animation since the Japanese really truly love their food.

Though I would say that the context of the other animation is SLIGHTLY different :-)

03:41 lol she definitely likes Hachiken

Naisu episoodo!
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

Lol at Tokiwa for misunderstanding.

This was such a sad episode.
Pork Bowl finally became pork bowl. I will miss him.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

That Tokiwa really asks for a beat up every single time

That Yoshino quote was amazing XD

and when Hachiken said that he was going to buy it, I immediately thought he was going to buy it as "meat", well, because it doesn't make sense if he bought Pork Bowl as a pet.
