I've been wanting to do a kissu stream of this for a while now but I kept procrastinating. The filename for this image tells me that I took a screenshot for this thread in December of 2021.
So without further ado,
I am announcing the Gin no Saji stream that will take place this Friday in two days. Same standard stream starting time of 6PM EST/11PM UTC.It will be in
https://theatre.kissu.moe/kiss/yukkuri when the time comes.
Gin no Saji is a SoL-ish show about a city boy that goes to an agricultural school to learn about farming. If the style looks familiar to you, it should, because it's from the creator of Fullmetal Alchemist. Nothing supernatural here, though, just the
somewhat realistic farming life. If you don't like thinking about where meat comes from then you may want to avoid this.
It's 11 episodes, so I think we can do some OP/ED skipping and do all of it at once. There's a season two, so maybe we can do that next week or maybe we should put some time between it.
Either way, let's give it a watch!

From the stream comments I feel like Kissu must be full of city slickers...

>>107858Compared to people that grew up on farms the vast majority of people online are city clickers I would imagine. My dad grew up on a farm and we had some crops in our backyard when I was growing up. Also, the area behind our house (not where my dad grew up, it was a whole other part of the country) for about a decade was farmland, but then the guy sold his property and it became a neighborhood so the view of pasture and horses/cows was lost. I have memories of feeding horses over a little fence from the comfort of our backyard. It was really nice.
I wish we had that experience for a longer time, but that farmer must have made so much money so I can't blame him.
I'm definitely someone that's far more comfortable in a rural area, but over time it's become built up so I think it's closer to suburban now.
I can look at a street corner and think "I remember when that was a pond, and over there were some trees where geese would hang out"

there was also Arslan Saga which did less well, but the author isn't a philosophical sperg and knows how to mix morality with story telling

Success! Using the stream as a backlog clearer is something we should do more often. The show had been sitting on my drive for years, and as I said in the OP I was going to stream it in 2021, but I finally did it!
I'll stream season two sometime soon, but NOT next week.
Wow, what a great show. The farming parts were quite informative and gave a glimpse of a life most people won't even think about, much less experience, so it was quite refreshing. The farm stuff was great, but it feels like even if you had zero interest in that stuff the characters themselves make for a great experience. I think it did a great job showing the rural lifestyle with a close-knit community, but it also shows that it's a rough lifestyle physically and economically.
Very enjoyable.
>>107871Yeah, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. FMA is needless to say a masterpiece and the characters breathed life into that world. I looked her up and she grew up on a dairy farm and her social media avatar is a cow.
...and she has a semi-autobiographical anime coming out this summer??https://anilist.co/anime/155971/Hyakushou-Kizoku/It looks like it will probably be one of those shorts that never gets translated, though.

>>107877Ohhh that makes sense why the anime seemed really passionate about farming then. Pretty interesting background for a mangaka though. Think I'm actually interested in that biography anime just to see how she went from farmer to mangaka...
No.107952
>>107916I remember reading about a few other mangaka that grew up in the country but I don't remember who they were.
As somebody that also grew up in the country I think that it's actually pretty easy to understand. It is peaceful but also boring for a child so they have to rely a lot more on individual interests and I think you also probably day dream more as well given all the free time and boredom. So it would be more likely for a child to become fixated on drawing or something like that and they would be more imaginative as well.

>>110358I like that it showed struggle, that some things aren't as realistic as others, and that sometimes it just doesn't pan out, without really exaggerating it much. The dad was also a more muted kind of asshole you don't see very often.
