| it's only 3 episodes but I've gain some few things about animals.. also, this is anime is representing REALITY. ugh, it hurts because I can relate myself to some of these characters :'( :)) I really like the voice of the vocalist of sukima switch |
| Dat foreshadow of Pork Bowl NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! The resolve to struggle with reality. T__T |
| Good episode overall. Stays just above the line of boring |
 |
| This episode was great! The first scene before the OP made me laugh and I liked the whole backstory of the MC before he got into the agriculture school. It's good that this anime has a good sense of reality and about the whole 'resolve' thing. What the instructor said about Pork Bowl and how pork bowl just settled for the smallest teet was really good. But poor pork bowl ;_; |
| Really this kind of anime is the reason I am still a fan. I like it, I learn a lot from that episode. |
| Educational - learn much about pigs and horses (and vets). And then there is the draft horse race that I never heard of.. Fun - the buddha-lookalike teacher is a keen gambler on horseracing! Insightful - thought-provoking on death and relationship of human and farm animals, as well as seeking one's goal in life Interesting - even the chicken farm boy, so poor in maths, can figure out his family farm is as big as Macross. Is he actually a closet otaku? LOL |

| 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 starting to genuinely enjoy this show. The chemistry between the cast is continuing to build, their individual struggles, interests and goals are being fleshed out well bit by bit, they all have enough personality without being so "eccentric" it becomes alienating and even worse annoying like a lot of casts this season and best of all I feel like I'm actually learning stuff about the topic of agriculture while watching instead of it being some sort of bait and switch for antics for antics sake. Pigs start competing in a survival of the fittest type of competition with their siblings from the moment it comes to breast feeding and there is a hierarchical structure to teat selection that becomes instinctual. Who knew? Actually this show is pretty low on the antics, I mean it has comedic bits, but it stays focused on the development of it's premise and cast in the long run. Also those pigs are bloody adorable this episode. It's a rare like for me this season. |

| This is rather educational. Without having read the manga, I guess the "twist" will be something along the lines of him being recommended the wrong school (even if it sounds crazy). |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| kind of boring actually :/ hachiken.. I dont understand him -_- LOL XD that sensei is crazy XD he is gambling XD |
| another good episode, quite educational and lots of funny moments. |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| That was a great episode, educational and very heartwarming. I'm really liking this anime. Slice of life done right is very pleasant to watch. |
| Those horses were pretty tough. |
 |
| Wow, that whole 'resolve' thing was deep, it's like a life lesson =o Another great episode, it's great to have all the characters back again ^^ Also nice that Hachiken and the other guy understood to respect each other's situations. |
 |
| i was worried abt ep 1 and 2 but this ep made me feel relieved. Pork Bowl ftw. this show is gonna be on a roll. |
| Those were some nice life/career lessons shown I like Pork Bowl already Yay Underpig! |
| I don't know why, but I think this episode was really entertaining... Pork Bowl, hang in there. |
| Great episode. I love how this series balances comedy with animal/farming facts and reality. The piglets were adorable, especially Pork Bowl. |

| I just love how the comedy is actually very realistic on this show instead of the usual nonsense comedy. This can turn into something really good but we'll have to wait and see. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Hachiken really doesn't fit there. And I think Mikage really isn't girl for him. But let's see how this will end. |
| Once again, solid like usual. If it keeps it up, it'll stay at a solid 8. |
| First chickens, then cows and horses, and now pigs! There's tension between Hachiken and Komaba. Is it because of jealousy? That horse race was pretty intense, in my opinion. I didn't know horses can race like that. Aww, Pork Bowl is so cute! Too bad he'll die in three months or so. |
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. |

| Lol Nakajima-sensei I thought he's Buddha, never gambling Lol "Ofc you can never totally understand horses"... I heard a crack sound.. oh it's their dream xD Dat torture room! Aw, Hachi&Hachi saltncheese said: Pork Bowl...we barely knew you. xAvengerx said: xxshiawase said: I don't know why, but I think this episode was really entertaining... Pork Bowl, hang in there.

"Signature removed"   |
| 4/5 For those looking for an anime seriously on the subject matter, will have bread for his teeth, but if you want a fantasy setting that will immerse and involve, you've hurt, like the chara design and graceful little moe. But there is comedy not to annoy the viewer, not cheap if you do well at the end accounts. Episode that I enjoyed for the space given to situations with deep dialogues. To do this a rating high enough. |
 |
| I liked it and the vet said something I have always thought. |
   |
| Pretty okey episode, some slight development and an interesting ending, lets see what's next! |
 |
| Ugh... im such an animal lover, so the porkbowl part kills meeeee... ;_; |
  |
| Quite educational. |
 |
| This might be a nitpick but your'e supposed to clip piglets tail afterbirth but overall it was great. |
"Deep." |
| RIP pork bowl lol haha this show time to watch the next !!!! |
 |
| So cute piglets, just 3 months and they're bacon. haha What kind of horse racing is that? they have sleds. Cool I wonder what Hachiken's story. |
| Kiss youuuuuuu....my god I love I the OP! Good luck Pork Bowl ;_; |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| That horse race...intense xD Those little piglets are so cute!!! Poor Pork Bowl, he got 3 months left. ;_; |
| i've never seen horse racing like that. |
| hehe.. those piglets.. Hawk's family! lmao! I swear when I watch this show, time flies to fast. Wonder what that call is about |
 |
| Didn't expect to learn a lot from this anime at all but I did which was kinda fun. Poor piggies... grow big faster Pork Bowl! D: |
