Well, that's an odd dance.

I knew sensei might of tried to stole the spotlight again. What an appearance from the sky lmao. Oh God. Kousaku and his little speech was touching I guess. He and his philosophies XD. Reminds me of Hachiman somewhat.

So Kousaku couldn't make up his mind on picking Minori or Ringo at the end. Then went the 3rd option, both, and proceeded to get punched by both for it.

His speech also revealed how long he's been watching Ringo as an idol. Although she had to be a kid at the time too, due to being the same age as him.

There were so many references including Becky using the Sailor Moon transformation and Kei coming back looking like Char in Zeta Gundam.

I've always... always been watching you... This whole time... Because you were there... That's why I was able to try hard. So you could have some balance! So you wouldn't treat me like a kid! So you would see me as an actual girl! Even while you were gone... You were right here! You were right here in my heart!

Gin no Saji doesn't suck. It's one of the best slice of life series that has recently aired. Have you even watched it?

This episode was pretty bad. Not enough comedy, and the serious parts were just boring.

I watched the first few episodes of S1 and didn't find it interesting and knowing that there was going to be 2 season I decided to drop it early on instead of continuing something I clearly didn't like.

I get that you couldn't find it interesting, but there's really no reason to say that the series sucks.
And I don't understand how you could drop Gin no Saji, but manage to watch 12 episodes of this series.

This was a not so good end to a show which started off pretty good. Nourin dissappointed me in the end. I expected it to stay loaded with comedy till the end but the seriousness really let me down. More comedy would have made this anime much better.
Oh, and Becky is just hilarious!

the last episode felt like it lacked some comedy. the seriousness was kinda boring. becky was lol (i guess she was the comic relief for the whole episode) somehow i was hoping that kousaku would choose ringo, but i guess he decides to two-time instead and have those common "never gonna pick a girl" end. lol kei returning from his overseas trip with blond hair and glasses+ sunglasses o.O

overall it was a pretty good series. lots of parody/references and lols. personally i enjoyed the fujoshi related parts alittle more :3

Way more better than Mahou Sensou I think.

Kousaku think he can be like Rito of to-love ru gets some punch instead. I personally thought he would pick Ringo in the end since she's his first love.

Well at least one of Kousaku's inspirational speeches went right. He's happy with a polygamy ending but Ringo and Minori have something else to say about it http://i.imgur.com/bISuGNJ.jpg

I loved this show. Every episode was a treat, an excellent combination of slapstick humor, agricultural life, and beautiful art. I'm glad I stuck with this series instead of dropping it or writing it off as trash, since I found it to be one of my favorites of the season.

If they ever make a second season (unlikely as it is), I hope they give Ringo more character development. She's supposed to be the main lead character but the anime has been primarily a slice of life comedy without much time to flesh out the characters.

8/10. Great show nonetheless!

I liked this show but this must have been the worst episode the whole season. I felt like this show was alright but coming halfway though, things probly started to slow down.
Romance had no conclusion and I wasn't really attached to any of the characters that much.. becky is a scary character. I'd stay away from her lol but then again, I loved the randomness in the comedy. Had me dying like the Kei riding the goat lol but..

hmmmmm 7/10 still sounds too generous but I'll give it since it most of it was alright.

tl;dr Wud have been better if he could show that cock-blockin cow of a childhood friend that he picked Ringo but meh, I digress. Good show. Bad end.

Too bad he didn't choose Ringo. But at least he didn't choose the pushy Minoppaio.
Also, a loli route opened up :D

But in the end, he WAS right: They were his wings - they made him fly (or rather: sent him flying)

I'm kind of disappointed he didn't choose Ringo at the end, but I guess, it's not a bad end at least.

Overall, the show was really entertaining, though I felt it grew weaker episode after episode. Truth is, I liked the 3-4 first episodes more than the rest.

Well, I think it's worth watching it again. It was a lot of fun.

So the range of the grading from this ending stretch from 5.3 to 6.0 and personally I felt the ending was anything special. If the flashbacks were more powerful maybe I would of had more feelings for the ending speech but then of course he says he wants a love-triangle and gets his ass beaten by the two girls. So I'll keep it above falling into the 5 zone at 5.6, 6/10.

What really hurts this anime has been completely shitting on progression like when Ringo and Minori did their Yuri tease for one episode and now were just suppose to forget all of that with the ending 3 episodes. Then you had moments like episode 2 and 3 where nothing that happened in episode one mattered and it was all filler at the beginning.

This anime could of been much worse than it was but it at least kept me around with some decent episode with agricultural plots, I don't know if I'd watch a 2nd season. I'd do it if it looked like a small season.

Becky getting hit by the generation gap was quite funny!
That "Fortyish Dimension" again..

How Ringo and Minori got jealous and claimed to be Kousaku's master and pregnant wife. XD

"First Impression" game was fun. Kousaku endured a lot this round..

Becky's chanting and running wild was hilarious. XD
Too bad she went down too soon. That poster guy still hanging around..

Good to see Kousaku takes charge of the chaotic situation.
Though, he could'nt pull off choosing both Minori and Ringo. XD

Kei and Yoshida comes back. A little airtime for each character to conclude the series..

Average series. Will miss seeing Becky's craziness though..

Lols, you both are my wings! Laughed so much way to go Kousaku haha. I really liked this show, its focus on agriculture was pretty cool and some really hilarious stuff happened. Also, I liked Kousaku. Ringo was a bit boring, no idea how she could be an idol or an idol could be like that, wanted more of that explained. Good OP and Becky, my word.

Uhhhhh.... the story is all over the place. We get character development from Ringo that is never addressed again, and osananajimi/hometown drama pops out of absolutely nowhere. Granted, this might be cleared up in the original work. From the window that this anime season covered, however, it wasn't very good.

Story aside, the characters were entertaining enough.

I greatly appreciated Ringo and osananajimi double uppercutting main character-kun. We need more of that in these love triangle stories when the main character-kun is indecisive and incompetent.

5 is the average of 10, so 4/10, slightly below average.

Really bad ending for quite good show. Last two episodes were so badly executed, nevermind totally senseless plot, with this one being total disappointment. I dislike it and for me, it would be better if they ended it after episode 10.

For whole show there were no signs of Hata even have love interest in Minori, but suddenly he awaken for only one reason - plot demanded it. For whole episode i didn't laugh even once, even Kei didn't save it in the end(that scene alone was good). After watching it, I was simply to sad... so much great potential flushed in toilet.

A weird ending!!!

If I'm being honest, this has been an odd wrap up and so many things were out of place in my opinion. All the Becky scenes in this episode just scared me completely and it was all just so random. On the bright side, I liked how Kousaku gave his speech about his life in Aioi and his reason for liking Idol Ringo as that was the only good part. The ending scene with Kei and Yoshida coming back from overseas must have been a very short one but how did their appearances change and then revert back to normal in just a few shots!? Kousaku decides not to choose either Ringo or Minori for the time being!?

Overall this has been an alright series as the only thing I enjoyed were the agricultural related scenes and the last parts about Kousaku's and Minori's hometown but everything else including the comical jokes were pretty average or dull at times. The characters are rather interesting with an exception of a few who haven't made much of an impact. This was definitely different to the setting I had imagined initially but was somewhat alright to follow. Some of the animation was overused for some comical scenes but were great for other scenes.

Final Scores:

Art/Animation: 7.5/10
Story/Plot: 7/10
Characters: 8/10
Music: 7/10
Overall Score: 7/10

Haha that word game was epic.
Kousaku tried to save himself by going down the "Why not both?" route. Though I was hoping he'd choose Ringo.

Kei coming down the plane gave off some intense badass aura + that blonde hair!

Overall, the show gave me some good laughs and I obviously learned to appreciate farming more. Would definitely love to see a S2.

But seriously, what the hell is this showing doing? Shows like this don't lend themselves well to emotional "drama." Especially when you pull a marriage stunt like that.

All criticism aside, this show had its hilarious moments, usually when Becky-sensei was involved. That woman is a fucking card.

Oh god, I disliked the ending so much. I get to see another "I can't choose between you two!" type of ending, never thought I would see that again. I was hoping for a Kousaku x Ringo ending, my hopes were shattered at that wedding. Although, the show itself I enjoyed, other than this last episode. I enjoyed the series.

Well overall this series a lot better than I thought it would be.. it has some nice jokes (even if it's inconsistent) and it's surprisingly educative, be it in agriculture or in business.

I was veering between 6 and 7 but I think I'll give this 7/10 thanks to the last episode. Gotta say that it was the most fitting double-punch in anime ever lol..

As someone who didn't watch Baka to Test I never expecting to like Nourin so much,yet I did. I had a ton of laughs,found all of the characters funny in their own way and then there's Becky who stole the show every single time she was on screen.

The ending was also hilarious with Kousaku's "I'll choose both!" moment followed by the reactions of Ringo & Minorin :D
