| hahahah XD I like this show already! XD "Damn you, anus!" |
| OMG!! The ED is sung by Sukima Switch!! One of my favorite!!! ^^ I really like it.. Ugh, this makes me reminiscence the "Erin the Beast Player!!!" |

| I laughed my ass off . 5/5 for me. |
| So does mixing an egg with rice like that really taste that good? This seems interesting enough. Farming looks like it can be fun to watch. |
| The one thing that I'd love to see is a lesbian yandere. |

It's also a probably the combination of sheer exhaustion and hunger more than the actual taste lol.So does mixing an egg with rice like that really taste that good A lot better than I expected and I was surprised that they randomly talked about somatic stem cell research (since I haven't read the manga). |

| pretty good first episode. the chicken made my day xD |

MyAmy said: Stark700 said: Poor chickens Quite brutal I kinda felt sorry for the chicken Well, if you visit China, it gonna be like that, because they love eating FRESH ingredient. But, that is how China, Japan and Korea(maybe) butcher the chicken to eat... I think . |

| man, when i first read the title i thought "they made an anime of 'The Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon'?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VDvgL58h_Y&feature=c4-overview&playnext=1&list=TLGc_uUlDmJwM boy was i wrong! any way this is gonna be a fav series of mine this season. i can just tell. |

| first ep was absolutely beautiful! totally would watch this series. |
| That was nice, I just have to get used to the MC.. he is not very likeable... rodac said: I don't have an issue with where eggs come from, I do have an issue with the living conditions of the chickens who produce them (and the other animals in our food chain), so it was nice to see Keiji comment on that. Same here, and I wondered a bit after Keijis comment: Are people in Japan not that concerned with species-appropriate husbandry? I know, it's not that big of a topic everywhere, but I was a bit surprised, that it got brushed off with one sentence.... |
| Nice anime nice plot and poor chicken and anus egg taste great with soysouce |
| This totally reminded me of Moyashimon. Since i enjoyed that series, I may enjoy Silver Spoon as well! It's been a while since I last watched an anime series WITHOUT any bishonens innit, I kinda miss the mediocre art and innocent humor. Going to watch this till the end from this good first impression of the series! :) |
| That was really pretty nice :D But really I don't understand how he decided on this school... there must be other boarding school not about agriculture... |
| checked this out in case this was better than the trainwreck of a manga it adapts, but nope. Same kind of meat-industry glorifying propaganda that misrepresents the gross practices that surround the modern day farms. Same kind of one dimensional boring characters. Same kind of badly-pacing nothing-of-interest-will-ever-be-there drawn out ''story" Same kind of commercial setting of the most boring and generic industry in the whole world. 1/5 and rightfully dropped. Its depressing to see shit like this usurping noitaminA show which could have had so many other great things being aired in it. P.S. setting like this would 100% work on if it was used to showcase the animal cruelty and gross practices that actually happen in farms like this. Watching lead character's "fantasies of farm life" being destroyed by actual gross reality would be fascinating. Sadly this won't go that way. |
 |
| ahh..Watching this at midnight really makes me hungry . The MC don't eat the egg when he knows it come from the butt. I remember I stop eating century egg for a while when I realize they use horse manure to cover the egg for 30days... no wonder it taste so great LOL The manga seems to be very popular for sometimes. I heard the manga before but I never had a change to read it. |

You didn't read the manga isn't it (You don't have in you're list)? Or at least not a lot... The characters are not at all two dimensional characters! All of them are developed very well all along the up to now, 47 chapters! " the animal cruelty and gross practices that actually happen in farms like this." the main characters, who don't know anything about farm have a lot of problem with this... of course, it's a shounen manga, not a seinen manga so it's not too deep, but he have a lot of difficulties to deal with it! It's not a philosophical discussion about farming and meat industry... it's an anime slice of life/school life/comedy but still educational! The target is not university students/adults but around 10-15 years old children... don't mixed everything! rebelakuma said: And it is just in anime where I see raw eggs being put in rice and mixed with soy sauce. Wonder if it is indeed delicious.... hehe. Newmn84 said: Silent_Sword said: Never tried it myself but I've heard it's good (and if the rice is hot enough, it actually partially cooks the egg). It's also a probably the combination of sheer exhaustion and hunger more than the actual taste lol.So does mixing an egg with rice like that really taste that good It's pretty good! and Japanese eat raw eggs a lot (in salad, with sukiyaki (meat pot)...). Also, usually in Japan you don't put anything on your rice, but it's ok with egg+soy sauce (specially when it's not fresh cooked rice --> after microwave heating dry the rice)! You can do it easily in all countries ^^ lindsayzzz said: They even censored the chicken's head being cut off haha. It's also censored in the manga ^^ Frontalbrise said: Best out of context line ^ this! But it was much more funny in the manga! with the military teacher and Hachiken who feels like he has no other choice than to obey I liked this episode, but they add some not funny (more like stupid) things like at the greenhouse (flying with the wind... -_-) and removed some funny part (eating the egg) and Tamako looks too small (maybe it's the same in the manga, but she really looks toooo small...) |
      |
| I'm not into this type of genre, and so I thought I wouldn't enjoy this episode. Wasn't so bad to my surprise! I'll keep watching, as long as it gets interesting. |

| First episode and I'm already laughing out loud xD The chicken beheading made me laugh so much hahah. |

| Not bad for a start. And how strong must that wind be to lift a fat person in the air :S Shinnosuke fainted when that chicken was beheaded >.< Anyway the episode was hilarious and I enjoyed watching it. |

rebelakuma said: Nope. It's real. I had it in one of the ryokans I stated at in Japan last year as part of my breakfast (though I did not add soysause, for a couple of unrelated reasons)And it is just in anime where I see raw eggs being put in rice and mixed with soy sauce. |

I'm also from farmer family, so this is not gore at all. |

Fai said: I can appreciate your reasons for not liking this show, but everyone has to draw their own lines somewhere. For instance, if someone refused to watch anime that were sexist, they couldn't watching like 90% of anime. If someone refused to watch anime that were socially damaging in any way or that were a misrepresentation of some activity/practice, that number would probably go up to 99%. "hey guyse, its propaganda ridden boredom show, but its okay cause its pretty~" The fact that "farms are great glorious and hard work" shit is targeted at YOUNGER audience is even more disturbing. Want to see live action gin no saji? here it is. Enjoy. Not everyone knows (or cares) enough about bad farm practices to let it bother them. I certainly wouldn't go as far as to say this show is "propaganda ridden." |

I certainly wouldn't go as far as to say this show is "propaganda ridden." Funny you say that considering I do refuse to watch sexism/misogyny-infused shows. Thankfully its less common nowadays, although you still get those one-of-a-kind gross misogynist trainwrecks sometimes And the show is made based upon manga made by person who grew up in the said farms and has every reason to glorify the experience. That alone is propaganda. Its sad. Because the premise, while boring, if portrayed realistically would make a VERY interesting psychological slice-of-life.

Baddie007 said: +1Man, how stupid is that city slicker guy for not knowing how chickens lay their eggs? How the f*** did that fat lady got blown up by the wind, wasn't she suppose to be dead weight? Btw, we Mexican hate it when we coop our chicken like that, we usually let them run around or keep them in large cages where they have plenty of room....that is until they are ready for the table. |

| That guy's a class A idiot. Even if he knows nothing about animals, doesn't he at least stop to think that the part of the egg you eat is the inside, which is protected from any... dirty things... by the shell? |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Very educational series but uncontrollable laughing at the same time XD. I will now understand the life of a farmer and the agricultural industry |

| This anime series is easily the best series this season. Can't wait for the next episode! |
 K-ON v1.1 ... Please leave you comments on my profile! ^_^ |
| I hope the main char gets a good character development, for now I don't like his judgemental attitude towards his fellow students. |
| I enjoyed aspects of this, but it was cliche in certain areas that made me lose interest (especially the main character). I'll give it one more episode. |

lordzenchi said: This anime series is easily the best series this season. Can't wait for the next episode! I agree... :) 5/5 |
| Enjoy this show more than I expected. Pro: -An unusual spin on high school anime. -I like how the MC is bonding with a classmates. -Slice of life in an agricultural school is interesting for some reason :/ -I like how his classmate suddenly discuss Animal Biotechnology, which I majored in College. The stuff that they talk about, I didn't learn until my junior years. I would be pretty impress too if I found high school students these days discussing about Biotechnology considering how much society scare of GMO and cloning. Con: -Character design is off. Some character design critics here had probably explain it. Well, the fat chick's design is not even human... -Comedy felt forced. Windy scene with fat chick flying... seriously? The egg/ anus joke is way overused by the end of the episode. -MC is too retarded. I get that comedy need some dumb characters, but the MC is so stupid that I wonder how he even made it to high school. Personally, underdog character constantly making a fool out of themselves leave a bad taste for me. Overall: 4/5 Will continue to watch unless the MC do something really stupid. |
MorningGlory said: What?! Was this something they did in the past or do they still use this method today?I remember I stop eating century egg for a while when I realize they use horse manure to cover the egg for 30days... no wonder it taste so great LOL This episode made my stomach clench with want. Considering that eggs are basically a chicken's period, I don't know why MC is letting the small stuff bother him lol. All that matters is that they are delicious *¬* |
