    fucking finally!
    Cant wait for next week. This episode was great for many things. Not only did Mikage finally speak out for herself. She and Hachiken seem to get real close to each other now.

    One aspect that Iīm disappointed about is that Hachiken couldnīt use his superior intelligence for finding a way to do anything for the farms. But I guess this anime wants to keep it realistic, so thatīs okay, too.

    "She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court

    If he really wanted to save the Komaba farm financially, he should have asked Tamako for advice, not the teachers, his idiot roommate, or random club members. She's absolutely ruthless in business. Whatever solution she came up with would have been hard for the Komabas (and Mikages), but it probably would have worked. If asked, she'd either help for the challenge, or let Hachiken know how hopeless it was in a concrete logical manner so that he wouldn't have to have been so torn up about it.

    Hachiken may be the smartest all around person in his class (or maybe even the school), but his classmates destroy him on an individual subject basis, whichever their specialty happens to be.

    wth, this was the season 2 finale?

    Whats with these short 11-episode seasons? meh.

    Is there source material for a season 3? If there is, the next big event should be the finding of Hachikenīs own dream, what he wants to do in life (or for the foreseeable future, at least).

    HS - Episode 08, 09, 10, 11


    ------------------------------------------



    I think it was Yuki who I first heard it from, but it's the irregular-episode shows (11 episodes, 22 episodes etc) that are more memorable. That.. seems to be mostly true from my experiences.

    It'll be a really different show once everyone moves out of the dorms, unless a whole new bunch of 1st year dairy science students fill the gap well with Hachiken being a proper club president/senpai.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    I was pretty underwhelmed with this season compared to the first. You can get personal problems drama in many other series, so it certainly felt like what made the first season special was absent this entire time. There was very little agriculture this time around. It boils down to just equestrian competition and farm insolvency. This season threw away most of what makes agricultural series/films awesome, which being as informative as it is entertaining.

    As terrible as it is to say it, I actually feel that this season of Gin no Saji lost to Nourin of all things.

    Nourin got a lot worse as the series progressed though.

    I like how they actually developed the romance angle this time around.

    True, nourin got worse, except for that quite dirty ep with Becky sensei...

    As for Gin no saji, well it got dull that's for sure. But I was still glad watching it, even if first season really was a lot better.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    I have to disagree with you both completely. Nourin got better as the series went on (less focus on the ecchi and idol romance overused plotline, and more focus on the agriculture), while Gin no Saji S2 generally went nowhere.

    Did you even see the last few episodes of Nourin? They were full of fanservice and love triangle antics. The final episode is about group dating, a farce wedding and the MC declaring he wants a harem for crying out loud. The two females just kept butting heads over the dude.

    Gin no Saji went dramatic, but it still presented facts about agriculture. It was less about the science, and more about the reality of how the businesses are failing in the current economy. The issue of inheriting farming businesses was also addressed with both Mikage and baseball dude's family circumstances.

    The last few episodes of Nourin were just as related to farming as the bankruptcy of Komaba farms. Possibly more, because it also addressed the insular nature of rural Japan and the effect of a bad season on a farm early on. I'm stunned you see a difference.

    Also, try to keep it more generic in the Gin no Saji thread.
