(Hashiridase, Hachiken)
"Run Towards The Future, Hachiken!"

Gin no Saji is a lot of things, but one of them, certainly, is a testament to one of the oldest, simplest and most important pieces of advice aspiring writers are given: "Write what you know".

(Hachiken, Butadon to Wakareru)
"Hachiken Bids Farewell to Pork-Bowl"

This was a moment we all knew was coming, but it certainly arrived sooner than I expected.

(Hachiken, Butadon ni Mayou)
"Hachiken Hesitates Over Pork-Bowl"

It doesn't take a genius to figure out where this season is going to finish up.

(Hachiken, Dai Shittai o Enjiru)
"Hachiken Makes a Huge Mistake"

Without a doubt, Gin no Saji has taken the lead in food porn this season.

(Hachiken, Giga Fmu e)
"Hachiken Visits Giga Farm"

This week's entry in "Hachi-kun's Wisdom From the Farm": it's better to be a horse than a calf.

(Hachiken, Mikage Ie ni Iku)
"Hachiken Visits Mikage's Home"

This season seems to be all about series that make me question my own feelings when watching them.

(Hachiken, Dass suru/i>)
"Hachiken Runs Away

I'll say it again: "Slice of Life" is misapplied to more series than I can count, but Gin no Saji is living up to the billing so far.

(Hachiken, Pizaa o Yaku)
"Hachiken Makes Pizza"

Behold, for truly it is the birth of a new subculture: piglet moe.

(Hachiken, Butadon to Deau)
"Hachiken Meets Pork-Bowl"

This is the second series this season that's made guilt a big part of the viewing experience.
