Anime Limited announced their acquisition of the Silver Spoon property back in the fall of 2016 and revealed at the time that they were looking at doing a Blu-ray release for both seasons. Which was striking news because the North American releases at the time (and still) were DVD releases. It looks like things have finally been settled in regards to it as the UK distributor has now announced that the first season will arrive on June 3rd, 2019 on Blu-ray with the second season coming in July 2019. Additionally, there’ll be 5 art cards as well as an A3 sized poster. On-disc extras include promotional videos for the series plus textless opening and ending title sequences as extras across both discs. The sets are priced at £59.99 and it’s expected that the second set will largely mirror the first in how it’s setup.
The first set is being done as a collector’s edition that you can see the packaging for to the right. It’s going for a two-disc release in subtitled-form only as it was never dubbed in North America. It’s going with a 6/5 episode split for the two discs.
Check out our reviews of the DVD releases of the first season and the second season from Aniplex USA.
Plot concept: The only reason why Yugo Hachiken decided to attend the Oezo Agricultural High School (a.k.a. Ezono) was simply because the school had a dormitory. Entering Ezono was a way for Yugo to run away from the stifling academic pressures in the city, however, it didn’t take long for him to realize that life is not that simple. Yugo is soon forced to face more hurdles in his new environment surrounded by all the farm animals and the magnificent Mother Nature. He also begins feeling a different kind of pressure as he deals with his classmates who, unlikely him, all have a clear view of what they want for their futures. Even so, as Yugo overcomes one challenge after another at Ezono and deepens his bonds with his classmates, he begins to grow stronger both physically and mentally. This is a coming-of-age story filled with sweat, tears, and literally a lot of dirt!
