Gin no saji

Adapted by a manga created by Kiromu Arakawa (Fullmetal Alchemist), Silver Spoon follows student Yuugo as he transfers to an agricultural high school, and begins the path of questioning his future, finding his calling, and making many new friends along the way. A pretty typical coming-of-age in characters, the joy comes from the detailed and realistic depictions of farm life and agriculture in general, with some very honest and down-to-earth personalities lending a hand to help. Only two seasons, the show is short, sweet, and well rounded, and was so fun to flip on. The struggles and challenges throughout the series brutally face the reality of raising animals for food, often in better ways than most shockumentaries of similar subject matter, I didn't think I would be crying over an animated pig this week but here we are. Would highly recommend, loved it.
