| This just took the lead of my favorite anime so far this season. Will it hold, we will have to see because Noragami was pretty good as well. A lot of interesting characters, and as long as this has a story I think it will be pretty good. |

| I swear If the they pull some bullshit that no one can tell it's her because she has glasses I'm gonna be pissed. |

| LOL this MC. He's got a screw loose. That teacher, LOL, seriously crazy dem boobs ;o Oh just casually bringing in an ox into the classroom. totally normal. Kousaku depressed as hell, wearing that body pillow xD Minori and her dirty thoughts regarding eggplants.. lol Kousaku should be happy as hell right now, seeing his dream girl being in the same class as him. dream come truee! |
 |
| The Funimation subs for this show are terrible. They seriously can't take five minutes to proofread the script and at least fix typos and lines that don't make any sense? I hope a fansub group does their own TL of this. |
| This is hilarious.... am I the only one who this absurdly hilarious? |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Made me laugh a lot! Definitely going to keep watching x3 The sensei, though. She's scary and I didn't thought they would show that much fanbase on first episode. |
| Las firmas estan sobrevaloradas :P |
| Well, I can always go for a absurd romantic comedy anime. Hey look, that teacher must be related to the one from Madoka Magica. Only that this one is absolutely insane. |
| LOL yeah this is getting dropped. I'm all for agriculture after enjoying the first season of Silver Spoon, but this is on a whole other planet. |

| fucking moronic. dropped. by the way, dear all anime ever: you know what stereotype i'm tired of the most? the 'single unmarried female teacher in her thirties who's hahahahaha so desperate to get married hahahaha look how desperate she is LAUGH LAUGH AT THIS WOMAN' stereotype. fucking stop. kthx, ona |

| The first episode left a slightly sour taste in my mouth though I'm rather curious as to why the idol wanted to stop being one and go to this agriculture school. The fight between the agriculture and animal husbandry students could develop into something interesting, but the whole thing is set to be a joke that no one could really take it so seriously....The homeroom teacher is a complete joke as well. I'll give it a few more episodes before I might drop it. The manga did not interest me at all. Though this is a fairly good episode, I feel as though they are trying too hard with the Moe/ecchi in this and also it cannot be compared to Gin No Saji (which is on a different intellectual level and not on the same level of crude as this). 4/10. This will take more than the usual expectations of anime to satisfy. |
| what is it with all these ecchi shows last 2 seasons? most of them are unwatchable also.. |
 |
| Interesting setting, hope it doesn't get boring tho. Dat teacher ._. |
| Good premise. Lame delivery. Will stick to this show for the rest of the season, maybe. |
| KAMI WA SHINDA!!!! lol reminds me of Nichijou.. I LOVE TSUNDERE OPPAI!!! Other than that it's okay, I like the Gin no Saji-like setting though the jokes aren't as funny as other shows. I think people expected too much of this.. just enjoy it as your guilty pleasure.

 |
| So freaking funny, excellent VA work as well. I hope we get more fan service, we can't let those healthy bodies go to waste. |
[center] |
| Meh, it had some funny parts, some awkward parts, and some unbearable parts. Hopefully things improve in the future. And damn, that was fast, regarding a certain edit. |
 |
| I knew he was just having a dream! hey its a proven fact that bulls doesn't really hate the color red. their teacher is hot.... unfortunately like 99% of teachers in anime (homeroom teachers of the main characters) shes single.. well 1st episode was fine |
 |
LittleStar said: Do it seemed to me if I had seen Shingeki no Kyojin reference? Or maybe this is Inoue Marina fault? Definitely a SNK reference with the whole shifting of feet and arm position. Good first episode. Like the characters so far, not so much the teacher although the oil scene was interesting. Reminds me of Baka Test mixed with agriculture. |

| I was wondering why no one noticed the EVA reference, then I decided to take a look at the subbed version... 15:23: "What a weird way to keep her". Really Funimation? Is this the best you can do? Original line: ”何と言う補完計画” Loosely: "What an (ingenious~) instrumentality project" Even the preceding line (which was also mistranslated btw) gives enough context to prepare you for what's coming next... "ショックから逃避したいばかりに、代償行為として、彼女と己を同一化しようとしてるのか” Funimation's "translation": "To escape from the shock, he is trying to identify himself with that girl." (代償行為として） "As an act of compensation" - completely skipped. The rhetorical tone of the sentence was left unconveyed as well. If someone, by any chance, is unfortunate enough to not have actually seen NGE... Originally, "The Human Instrumentality Project" was based on the principle of the unification of identity and consciousness on a massive scale. Similarly, MC-kun tried to "become one" with Yukatan, thus the well placed reference. P.S. Sensei best girl infernocop/10 would save anime again |

| Two rural settings in a row. Looks great like Non Non Biyori. Silver Link is on a roll. I actually thought it was the same town :P Ero-terrorist haha. Daikon legs lmao, he got his eggs cracked. Haha I thought Kousaku had a familiar voice. Same VA as SYD's Tsuda. Brilliant performance. When I saw Kei, I thought of Suguru from NNB. I mean at the end of NNB (if they're not stuck in an infinite time loop), he'd be in high school haha ^^ I don't know how I feel about sensei's "milk" pic. I wonder if that's going to be uncensored in the BD O___O |

"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| what the heck with this baka to test style? XD and since when Silver Link has a lot of budget? :o |
| Really didn't expect that oil scene, like wth? I still like it so far, looking forward to next ep |
 |
| Great seiyuu, great character setting. I like it. |
| awesome. Teacher, references and comedy style. To list of favorites of winter 2014. |
| Pretty good first episodes, very random and very funny! I have to say, I've only watched this, Nobunagun, and Noragami, but FUNi seems to be stepping up their simulcast game! If D-Frag, Buddy Complex, and Inori.. are decent, then I'd say this is probably their best Simulcast season so far... Dat teacher @_@!! Crazy...Hot, or Crazy Hot? Probably the best comedy I've seen this season so far. I think I will definitely be watching this one. And that voice acting was top notch! Kana Hanazawa has definitely become my favorite seiyuu!! Urahara Out!! |
 |
| I'm not sure what to think of this anime yet, its so boring ._. Didn't expected Kinoshita Ringo to be a Kuudere though. |
 |
| It has HanaKana being tsunderish... I need nothing more |
| That teacher was weird,funny and a bit lewd. That was random and crazy but I like it. |
 |
| wow so many baka test vibes... damn i'm enjoying this quickly :3 |
| Was shaking my head hard @ 5 minutes in. Like seriously, this is a good example of bad fan service. Do like the cast otherwise, and as always, besides the main protagonist. Already liking it more than Baka to Test's cast. |

| This was completely off my radar up until now, but I was pleasantly surprised. Some funny characters (Oppai is my favourite so far, folloed by that kansai girl), and there's Yukari. |
| THAT was really funny to me, except for the teacher which I don't particularly like. Solid first ep. |
| Average comedy so far but I guess this gets better as Ringo starts hanging out with everyone in next episodes. Nice premise though, gotta keep watching this. Just one thing: Kusakabe? Kousaku? Really? I guess manga author has to be really big fan of Genshiken :) |
| Oh my, this anime has potential to be my favorite anime this season, along with D-Frag xD Oppai! And dat sensei! And ouuuuch, that knee kick!! I hope this stays as good as it's been so far :D |
 |
| Well that was a fun 1st episode. I can't wait to see more. Love the Sensei...she is so weird. |
Mich666 said: Actually, most of the names in this one seem to have been chosen for their connection to agriculture. Kousaku is the most blatant, since it's just a word that means "cultivation", thus his full name, Hata Kousaku, translates to "field cultivation". I, as well as one other person, already talked about "Kinoshita Ringo", and Kusakabe roughly means "grass wall". Minori normally means "ripening", and in this character's case it's written with the kanji for "agriculture". Oppai's family name, Yoshida, is written with the kanji that together mean "fertile rice paddy". The teacher's given name, Natsumi, is written as "vegetable picking". There's probably more of those that I don't understand.Just one thing: Kusakabe? Kousaku? Really? I guess manga author has to be really big fan of Genshiken :) |
| I wonder why Nourin had to be slotted into this season? It's as if its asking to be compared to another highly-rated agri-anime that's also airing at the same time. That said, it looks to me like some coming-of-age SoL comedy, but also full of overused tropes too. As for the idol, I wonder if for some reason her former talent might be useful here somehow, like singing to lull bulls to sleep or something. |
