My anime of the season personally. Every episode has been a joy to watch.

The pizza episode in particular is a must see. Hachiken really throws himself into it, and the stark difference between farm life and urban life in Japan is apparent. The side characters really stand out on their own. It was also a nice tie-in to the overall character arc for Hachiken. His teacher advised him to go there to "get away," but Hachiken had clearly found his place in life at the farm school, he just doesn't realize it yet. The others, even the teachers, were desperate for that connection. Sure, they could probably make the pizza too, but only Hachiken knew what it was meant to taste like, and using the local ingredients, he made one better than he had ever tasted.

It should also be pointed out that if the character designs seem familiar, they should be. The author of the original manga is better known for her earlier work: Full Metal Alchemist. She is as good at comedy as action, and this series displays her other strength well.

Lastly, this anime already has a second season. Split cour series ftw!
