I grew up on a farm and the first episode succeeded in making me mildly homesick and nostalgic. And yes, fresh eggs really are as good as they were portrayed there (though ours were duck and goose, not chicken). I am really curious to see how far they go with some of the realities of farm life - the cow patty in the OP is certainly a good start, but farming is really dirty. There's also the issue that the animals can be complete assholes (the calf nutshot is a thing they will regularly try, even before your dad teaches them that sugar and fruit comes from the pockets), so hopefully they milk that for some comedic value.

His fear of feeding the horse and the associated gore scenes (animated as bloodily as anything out of Full Metal Alchemist were glorious. I love the fact that it's not afraid to take a leisurely route to things - they really didn't need to do things like pay off the gag with the five of them walking out of the mist again, or show the little interstitial with him covered in baby chicks. And yeah, the fact that horses are giant poop machines is so regrettably true. Plus, the first ride was every bit an awesome shounen moment. Show of the season easily.

The dramatic sled race and resulting denouement into exploration of all the various veterinary tools was awesome. That and the horse funeral seem like they are teaching really good lessons. I hope the show is doing ok in Japan so we can get more! And on a lighter note, I love that they name the pig pork bowl. It was always fun at the fair seeing all the kids with sheep named lamb chop etc.

Episode 4 was amazing too. I guess I am just the target market for this show, but it is so satisfying to watch him grow as a person and actually develop!

I have learned a valuable lesson - never watch this show right before bed when there is no food in the house. That corn was darn near pornographic.
