To be honest this episode made me want to drop this series, I'm going to at least try to get half way before I get to that point but man was this episode stupid in a wrong way. It was just annoyingly dumb and even when there was something that was sort of funny(Borat,Pokemon) I was already too uninterested to enjoy it.

The humors are so cheesy although some part are really funny (that Dragon Ball face lol).

That Minori Girl's personality is so annoying, I can't stand characters like that... she definitely needs a lot less airtime now. And the episode wasn't that great at all either, too much focus on a stupid rivalry.

I like this anime simply because of the farming and gardening and livestock and other agricultural stuff.... man they all remind me of one of my favorite game of all time... Harvest Moon!!

also the references!! DBZ, SNK

"Spread your seeds right into my wet rice field".. yeah well I think I can use this.. lmao

other than that this episode was... filled with annoying fanservice.. it was kinda annoying and.. meh

The jokes are just...what's the word? Cheesy? Tasteless? I can ignore that fact for the previous episodes because it actually made me laugh (note to brain: file under "Interestingly Stupid"). But this episode was just stupid.

Well I'm not gonna drop it yet since the last two episodes actually showed some promise. Also because of Kei and Becky.

A lot of the one liners and Kousaku's absurdest commentary really gets me laughing.

00:30: Scream!
Becky-sensei's scene
-12:28: "Please go home, you're gross."
-12:47: "Spread your seeds right into my wet rice field!"
-13:00: Minori protecting Kousaku, her dere side is awesome.
14:49: "But I like this kind of stuff stuff. It's simple and has a girly image. I don't even know what I'm saying." lolwat?
16:21: Mad man image was funny.
21:34: Not the greatest view. o_o
22:06: "Next day I planted rice by machine. What was that?"


Yes, it could have been something different. It could have been a more serious romantic show. But it isn't. It's an absurdest comedy about agriculture. And I like it that way. If they wanted to make it serious, it would look similar to The Pet Girl of Sakura-sou. At least I get that feeling from it. So if I want a more serious romantic show (but still funny-ish), I can just watch that instead. I admit that the characters are underdeveloped and some more seriousness would be nice, but reality and absurdity just don't mix well. In the end I suppose I'd rather have a show that's funny but not perfect than a show that just plain sucks because they tried mixing genres and did it poorly.

Apparently I am the only person who likes Minori. I think she is awesome and I hope they keep her very active in the upcoming episodes. Becky is annoying, I hope she gets far less screen time in the upcoming episodes. Other than that I am really enjoying the series so far. It is something new and different for me. An anime about an agricultural school is a first for me. I am glad to see something different than magical themed anime. I was laughing almost the whole time and I was enjoying the fanservice also, no shame here. The Attack On Titan reference was defiantly unexpected. I can't wait to see what next weeks episode is going to bring.

Another disappointment from Nourin, except Wakadonna and maybe Kinoshita.
Kousaka is alright. His personality is slightly amusing, but can be annoying at times.
Kei was good in the first episode, but then he went downhill afterwards.
I like Minori's energetic personality, but she can be really annoying at times.
Becky needs to get off the show.
Ringo seems to be an interesting character, but the show better explains why she's interested in Kousaka, and the vegetables he sent better not be the reason.
Wakadonna FTW!

I agree with you - the first episode was good and reminiscent of baka to test in terms of quality of animation and humour. Episode two was pretty poor by comparison and I didn't find it very funny at all, though this episode was somewhat better but still pretty bad.

This show is relying heavily on ecchi for it's comedy but it didn't seem like it would from the start and that only makes the ecchi less enjoyable, since it seemed like it'd be funny without that much of it. Worse, the ecchi scenes themselves feel so damn forced that it just makes you face-palm when they happen. I mean the moment Ringo got into a bikini I knew that this episode was just going to be another nail in the coffin.

The characters only make it worse. Ringo's pretty dull even as dead-pan characters go and it makes no sense that she was an idol, I find it unlikely that there's any good explanation later down the line that isn't contrived as all hell. Minori is so...bitchy that it's hard to like her as a character a lot of the time. Kei is somewhat funny but a typical best-friend. And the protagonist is slightly too openly perverted, with not enough redeeming features to balance that out. He hasn't even been shown to be overly nice - so why would I put up with an episode of him talking about panties?!

I don't know. Maybe I just went into this show hoping it'd be like baka to test. As it stands it's perhaps a far inferior version of it since you can still compare them, but it's just an ecchi romcom with little original humour. It's not like I don't like watching them when I know that's what I'm going to be watching but I thought this would more interesting than that.

Apparently not.

Okay aside from the painfully obvious Shingeki no Kyojin reference, it was a humorous episode!

What's so bad about it being obvious? It's not like they were trying to hide it.

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.

Ringo's great (and surprisingly skilled) but Minori isn't that unbearable. I find the scuffles entertaining, and as one of the few anime that has a childhood friend who isn't an arrogant, insult-throwing foul mouthed tsundere, or a clueless, passive, pair of boobs, Nourin tries to introduce something new. I, for one, find this change refreshing. Most of the things that Minori does I don't take at face value anyways, since it's in this comical, playful atmosphere.

In other news - Becky-sensei L> sum luvin.
I'd be happy to comply but I still remember the last time I tried to dive into the screen.

Thoughts:
4:14 too much of minori in that outfit

5:53 ringo tentacle rape scene

12:45 crazy teacher and her wet rice field

---------------
Overall:
1. Great ED song. Such a wonderful melody that it made me melt.

2. The seriousness between the 2 girls in that competition is just insane

3. Everyone's outfit was too much for me.. Except for ringo's

4. Wasn't expecting this series to be 95% of extreme comedy and 5% romance… I wish the characters actually DID SOMETHING MEANINGFUL… I already have youtube for humor and such...eh.

5. This episode did nothing but full on wacky comedy. The humor was great but it didn't help character development or story at all.

6. Next week's episode doesn't look promising. Hopefully the comedy gets toned down and we get presented with something worth remembering. EVEN ImoCho IS BETTER THAN Nourin ATM.

7. I'm surprised that the people above me found absolutely no faults in this episode. You all are sheep.


Ep3: 2/10


You don't see a contradiction between 4 and 5? Wow what a retard. I'd say you are the sheep here.

Ringo is the best girl in this show.
I don't like osananajimi girl , she interrupted ringoxkousaka moment , actually I don't see any romantic things but just hope it.
Kei's almost-naked status gave me noseblood.He looked like Armstrong from FMA.
ED song was good , HanaKana's voice makes that osananajimi girl better.

not really a fan of parody - for the sake of parodying, ecchi kinda kill my mood the story and comedy kinda make no sense to me but seeing things about farming is always nice i think the author should go and read silver spoon and see how the rom-com about farming is done ecchi isn't the way of life for this anime, Rinko is cute she always remind me of krishima shouko from baka to test ,i don't find this show captivate at all, still waiting another EP let's hope this get better, and seriously that childhood friend is annoying and i kinda hate her design and persona since ep one, watch baka to test --- CH friend isn't require to make a good ,funny , and successful rom-com , now this show just have a BIG weakness , right there!
