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.
