This was completely off my radar up until now, but I was pleasantly surprised. Some funny characters (Oppai is my favourite so far, folloed by that kansai girl), and there's Yukari.

THAT was really funny to me, except for the teacher which I don't particularly like. Solid first ep.

Average comedy so far but I guess this gets better as Ringo starts hanging out with everyone in next episodes. Nice premise though, gotta keep watching this.

Just one thing: Kusakabe? Kousaku? Really? I guess manga author has to be really big fan of Genshiken :)

 Actually, most of the names in this one seem to have been chosen for their connection to agriculture. Kousaku is the most blatant, since it's just a word that means "cultivation", thus his full name, Hata Kousaku, translates to "field cultivation". I, as well as one other person, already talked about "Kinoshita Ringo", and Kusakabe roughly means "grass wall". Minori normally means "ripening", and in this character's case it's written with the kanji for "agriculture". Oppai's family name, Yoshida, is written with the kanji that together mean "fertile rice paddy". The teacher's given name, Natsumi, is written as "vegetable picking". There's probably more of those that I don't understand.

I wonder why Nourin had to be slotted into this season? It's as if its asking to be compared to another highly-rated agri-anime that's also airing at the same time.

That said, it looks to me like some coming-of-age SoL comedy, but also full of overused tropes too. As for the idol, I wonder if for some reason her former talent might be useful here somehow, like singing to lull bulls to sleep or something.

You are not the only one who thought it was a kangaroo. I thought it was really a small kangaroo too.

Really liking this, specially with the dakimakura scene... didn't expect Kana Hanazawa being here too.

I thought at first, why did Kana's character changed to nude? It because of the cow being mad at red colors that she took off her top. Although the teacher scene was too much I think.

Oh well, seems like I am watching a lot of anime this season.

I didn't expect this show to be this funny. The premise looks meh at first and some parts are so cliche. But the comedy is very well played, that makes everything seems better. The voice actors are perfect (especially Shintaro Asanuma as Kousaka, he's hella funny), even I, who dislike Kana Hanazawa's voice, utterly satisfied with her voicing Minori.

A guy who wants to be a trendy farmer in Tokyo so he can send food to the idol he obsesses over.

A seriously strange teacher.

An elite cow. Accompanied by an elitist cow a self-obsessed woman with breasts fit for a cow... Voiced by the same seiyuu as Yozora (and in a similar style too)... Oh the irony.

And a couple of comedy side characters who are trendy-farmer-wannabe's friends.

Oh and a weird creature that looks like a tiny kangaroo.


The idol that guy (Kousaku) obsesses over, however, quits, driving Kousaku even more crazy than he already was.

However, she then turns up in the classroom, and announces herself as Kinoshita Ringo. Shock for Kousaku when he realises that Kasukabe Yuka-tan wasn't her real name.

Hmm... That was really an episode of introductions, so need to wait for next week for things to actually get going properly.

wow, from being an idol to a farmer and looks like a tsundere too(I hope not).

And I wonder why she came to the countryside. Maybe this picture tells a lot of story...

Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
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.

Nah, romance will be strong because the mc is fully aware of his feelings toward Ringo and she came to that village, I asume, because of the vegetables he sent to her. There is already something that connects then quite nicely.

I wasn't really feeling this show AT ALL for the first half of the show. Then during the second half, i just started dying! It really started getting hilarious. Definitely gonna keep on watching this show.

Body Oils
Eggplant Scene
Nut Shot

I'm still not too sure as to what the main plot actually is but I suppose its quite interesting for an idol to suddenly retire and to find out that she has come all the way to the farming industry.

Hopefully the series will unveil the secrets of the idol. The characters are so far quite likable and the main character really like this idol. Seems like the letters he sent have been read by the idol?

Looking forward to see how this turns out in future episodes!!

4/5

The MC has a very sweet dream there.
And he thinks that sending eggplants and cucumbers to a girl as a present is quite normal xD
I wonder what was the real reason for her quitting the "Idol career". Anyway, Thanks to Gin no Saji we have a new setting called "Agricultural School" in the countryside :D

I didn't even laugh at the comedy. But still, story looks interesting and the pace is just right for a first ep. Hopefully this'll continue on, and probably would answer my question as to why Yuka-tan transferred into the agricultural school. And that nude sensei pic at the end looked like a poster for an H-anime.
