| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Dat piglet <33 I think Hachiken is getting used to his farm live now. Decent episode again. I got some nostologia from this episode for some reason. Oh God, poor Hachiken. I couldn't help but laugh at the scenes when he ran like crazy with those food. I just love the way Mikage rides that horse though. The ending made me hungry as usual ;.; I want to grab into the screen and reach that food.. |

| As expected Pork Bowl is now Pork Bowl.... |
| 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. |
| "Take responsibility", hehe. Aand that's how rumours get started. lol @ Mikage's reaction Thought provoking indeed, betrayed my expectations every step of the way. When he said he was gonna buy the pig I thought he wanted to keep him as a pet, just like the teacher said. Then when he said he wanted to buy the meat I thought he was gonna do something sappy like bury it. But he really has learned a lot. I guess when given the choice of giving his beloved pig a respectful send-off and turning him into food he chose the "Why can't we do both?" option. Also, that scream at the end (ぐあー！甘じょっぺー！), was that Hachiken's voice? If it was, then apparently he has gone full-on native, even to the point of adopting the dialect :) |
| That misunderstanding in the beginning was funny. I'm gonna miss Pork Bowl. |
 |
| I shed a few tears when Hachiken remembered how small Pork Bowl used to be, and then how he thought that the animals had such short lives. It was pretty sad too when he was cleaning up the empty pen by himself. I like how he even went to watch the slaughterhouse video, he's really developed quite a lot since the beginning. He bought Pork Bowl as the meat and even prepared it by himself, he's got a lot of resolve. Great episode! |
| One thing that has always stuck with me from being raised on a farm is that you don't waste meat. That steak in the freezer was once Frisky the calf out in the pasture. On a small farm you get to know your animals and their personalities. It's important to remember just what went into that meal you eat. Hachiken found a way to honour Pork Bowl without just thinking of him as a product. But the highlight definitely was "I'm going to have a bump soon. Take responsibility for it..." |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| This show must give vegans nightmares. :) |
 |
| That jealousy of Yoshino from Aki :P Man why does this have to be a split cour show like Arakawa Under The Bridge? This show is just too good |
| Another really nicely adapted ep. Lol'd at the first part with the misunderstanding XD I'm really liking Yoshino more than I remember in the manga. And Aki dropping the duster ;) More and more development for Hachiken ^^ Again Buddha sensei and his cheese XD. That end was indeed drool inducing. Nxt ep last ep of the season. Can't wait for nxt season. |

Barion-Zara said: I'm really liking Yoshino more than I remember in the manga. I always liked Yoshino. Now her anime version is extra adorable. What I like about Silver Spoon is that it's not preachy at all. It shows that, despite killing, farmers have a great respect for the animals. It's always easier to be a vegetarian or a vegan if you grow up in the city and without all the harships of the rural life. |
 The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow. |
Barion-Zara said: Aye she is very cute without the whole forced moe-stuff most animegirls tend to have.I'm really liking Yoshino more than I remember in the manga. |
| Wow didn't expect this anime to be sad... ;C anyway, solid episode as usual. Next week is the last ep... Then we have to wait till Winter >_< |
| Rip Pork Bowl you were delicious |
 |
| Ah, this has got to be my favourite episode, was so heart-touching!! Shed a few tears when pork bowls was being taken away. Such a Bittersweet ending :'D |
| R.I.P. Pork Bowl. I really thought Hachiken wants to keep him as a pet by buying Pork Bowl. Great twist for buying the meat instead and sharing it with others. And that end! I always like seeing their group eating together especially if the food was raised or cooked with a lot of effort. Makes the food much more better :) |
| Great episode. I'm sad that next episode will be last one :( |
| What a cute episode, nice to see everyone enjoing their pork bowl. Also the rumors part was funny, I liked Mikage's reaction. Anyway, im surprised with how cheap is a kg of pork meat. Almost half of how much it cost where I live. |
| "...To kiss, that beautiful woman cherry-like lips" |
| Shouldn't have watched this with an empty stomach. Anyway another great episode! Good thing there will be a 2nd season of this! |
 |
| Damnit Hachiken, take responsibility for that bump! |
| DAT MISUNDERSTANDING. 2 MISUNDERSTANDINGS so funny. Hachiken reminds me of a mother looking at her child grow up. it got sad for a moment ;_; |
| Well there goes Pork Bowl lol. |
 |
| 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. :) |
| I could never eat a pig I was attached too. Your strong, Hachi. |
| 💕 |
| 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. |
 |
| bye bye pork bowl :( |
 |
| 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. |
 |
| Hachiken has matured quite a bit since the start of the series. I'm liking his development. |
| Most emotional anime episode of the year. |
 |
| 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. Juhahamoutons said: 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. |

| Another great episode. 5/5 :) |
| The misunderstanding was funny and I liked how they showed how he misunderstood. This episode reminded me of Homer eating his pet lobster. |
| Awesome episode! Seems like hearing the rumor about Hachiken & Yoshino shook Mikage up by the way she suddenly dropped the eraser. Mikage x Hachiken <3 |
| 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 5/5 |
 |
| Loved this episode for the mixed emotions that it brought out in me. Who knew pork bowl had such a special place in my heart haha |
| 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. |

| That misunderstanding was funny. I'm going to miss Pork Bowl. It must be hard to eat your former 'pet'. |
| next ep will be the last. This ep was touching and lots of funny moments. Mikage's reaction was hilarious :D |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| What? One episode left? Noitamina is unfair! |
Frontalbrise said: 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.Barion-Zara said: Aye she is very cute without the whole forced moe-stuff most animegirls tend to have.I'm really liking Yoshino more than I remember in the manga. But I also really like her personality, even I do feel sorry for that teacher from time to time ;) Juhahamoutons said: I think he may have been getting the wholesale price rather than the retail price, which would make it significantly cheaper.Anyway, im surprised with how cheap is a kg of pork meat.

| 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! http://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=738669 |
| it took half an hour to cook rice. so how the hell can this teacher always pop up at the right moment with a full rice cooker? XD |
| bruh |
| WOW!! Am i seeing things or an anime based on high school that i actually learned something from. Otherwise another great episode it was perfectly paced and the comedy in this episode was the funniest so far i couldn't stop laughing. |
