Just checked out Vinland looks good, the writer is getting his information right indeed the Vikings did trade with the indigenous of North America, also episode 2 basically shows without saying it that the Vikings have taken over some parts of England, based on dialogue and when the English snuck up on the Nords, up in northern England you can hear a bit of Nordic dialect still being used.

Damn what an episode was last week's Jojo Bucciarati gone and jojo awakening a new stand or current stand. Damn Araki made sure to have all the protagonists killed but I guess because they are mafia members and aren't expected to live long lives due to the type of life they chose to live, even though they have hearts of gold, conflicting ideologies and philosophies about things and life.

Damn the last dude in Ep 2 is one mean son of a gun he's basically bullying them villagers of Faroe Island for being a Christians, I wonder if we'll get a writer brave enough to have a character bullying Muslims maybe based on Vlad The Impaler or something.

Why do I keep watching Boruto man?:why::snoop: This some sol shyt:mjcry:
Dead that shyt and read the manga. They are 99% different stories at this point. NOTHING has been canon in the anime since the momoshiki fight 50(!) episodes ago.

Naruto fillers weren't even raw and bortuo fillers are somehow more dry. The manga on the other hand is :wow: restoring the naruto feeling

Be interested in your thoughts of Silver Spoon, unless this is a rewatch of it. I saw it last summer and saw a lot of March comes in like a Lion in it

Good recommendation. Loved everything about Silver Spoon S1. The agricultural setting seemed boring at first, but the whole point is to take the viewer outside of their comfort zone and show that living on a farm isn't functionally worse than eating processed junk, being addicted to technology, being out of touch with the environment and living isolated from a larger community. Hachiko in the city is depressed and without direction. In working with livestock he is given purpose in life. His growth in just 11 episode is fun to watch.

Has a lot to say about the flaws of education that I found interesting. Students are too often forced to study things they don't care about and pressured to make high grades to enter a top ranked university. Meanwhile everyone at this boarding school is getting hands on experience, making direct contacts with people in their field of future employment, earning wages while studying, eating organic food every day, learning how to work with a community and living a mostly stress free life. Feel like there is a targeted criticism of Japanese standards in this show.

Felt good to see Arakawa's artstyle again. I can assume that she has a farming background or has researched the field to produce a story that feels so authentic to agricultural life. I'll be reading the manga soon.

The entire series is a filler arc. A bad filler arc. :Ugh5150:

I thought the Fourth Ninja War filler was rough. Got DAMN. :HulkBushmaster:

I absolutely loved the fact that the show was so educational about agriculture and the different types of foods made from the crops they'd harvest. I came to appreciate how much the show took the viewer out of the norm by making an anime about farming & horseback riding and making it interesting to watch.

Yep very simple story, kid feels lost in the big city and doesn't know what to do, then goes to a different environment is finds a home and many friends, the people around him seem to genuinely care.

Very hard to watch on an empty stomach. they made a new dish from fresh livestock every episode. At one point Hachiko had one hundred pounds of pork and they cooked it all in a single day

the simple stuff that has very obvious takeaways that relate to real life is why SoL is the best genre to me. SS reminded me of what was great about Barakamon, another great countryside anime.
