Recommended Anime: Moyashimon -Tales of Agriculture (もやしもん)

Moyashimon is an 11 episode comedy series that follows the life of Tadayasu Sawaki, a first-year college student at an agricultural university, who has the unique ability to see and interact with microorganisms and bacteria. At the end of every episode there is a segment called “Microbe Theater”, which the microbes themselves explain their roles on making sake or nattou, for example.

Can an anime about microbes be interesting? The answer is it can not only be interesting, but funny and cool. There is a second season called Moyashimon Returns. Unfortunately it is not as good as the first season, but it is still good. Moyashimon has also been adapted to a live action series(ドラマ).
