Silver Spoon is an anime that truly warms the heart!

 From beginning to end Silver spoon walks a fine line between comedy and dramatic realism. Many of us take what we have for granted due to our fortunate upbringing, being fed with a silver spoon from birth. We are oblivious to the hardships others may face during their upbringing. This show deeply explores those issues from an agricultural lens accurately depicting farm life. 



The characters are fun, likeable and very well-written, the show touches upon themes such as ones search for purpose in life, compromise between ones dream and family. Also the moral conundrums around ... the ethical/humane treatment of animals. 


The main protagonist Hachiken is also a very well written character; he goes through a lot of growth throughout the show, and it's very interesting to follow that development in his character.



The best part about this show is the Journey and just how real and human it feels. Every issue brought up on this anime, every obstacle the characters had to face and the way they over came them is ever so inspiring and all in all makes it very compelling to watch! 



For final thoughts, Silver spoon is the epitome of what a slice of life anime should be. It delivers a story exploring themes alongside the dilemmas of a day to day farm life. It is very much a human story of growing up in a world hidden within our own that most of us tend to forget.
