Add another feather in their cap as Madman Entertainment continues their twelve days of announcements by bringing out the license acquisition of Silver Spoon. The series is based on the manga by Hiromu Arkawa, creator of Fullmetal Alchemist, which got a simulcast this past summer in many territories around the world. The Australian license for the release will be bringing the show to DVD in late 2014. No further details about how the series will be presented are available yet.
Plot concept: This coming-of-age story follows Yugo Hachiken, a high school student who decides to attend ‘Ezono’ – the Oezo Agricultural High School – to escape the academic pressures at his preparatory school back in Sapporo. But, Yugo quickly realizes that things are just not that simple, and is forced to face whole new set of hurdles at Ezono.
Yugo begins to feel a different kind of pressure as he comes to deal with new classmates who, compared to him, all have a much clearer view of what they want for their futures. Over the course of the series, Yugo will grow, both physically and mentally as he faces all the challenges the Ezono puts in his way
