Why You Should Watch From Old Country Bumpkin

The anime adaptation for Shigeru Sagazaki and Tetsuhiro Nabeshima’s From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman: My Hotshot Disciples Are All Grown Up Now and They Won’t Leave Me Alone original light novel series didn’t make its debut this Spring as one of the biggest new releases, but it’s really worked into fans’ hearts through the episodes as they aired. It started out small and quiet with a main character who was humbly trying to avoid his true future as a master swordsman, but then got even further into all of the action as it all continued to throw him into wilder situations each week.

The first season hit a climax where he needed to then save the princess from a group of assassins, and it’s clear that it’s only brought more attention to him as the episodes continue. But as From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman prepares to return for a second season of the anime next year, it’s likely that anime fans will be drawn to the show even more so in the future. If fans continue to watch the series on Prime Video as well, then it makes a lot of sense that there’s already a second wave of episodes in the works also.
