With You and The Rain – Season 1 Episode 1 Recap & Review
Rainy Days Episode 1 of With You and The Rain opens on a rainy evening where Fuji gives her umbrella to a stranger, saying she no longer needs it. Drenched from the downpour on her walk home, she comes across a strange animal who calls itself a 'dog' and asks her to take it in. Fuji is hesitant, until the creature hands her an umbrella. She brings the 'dog' home and notices it quirkily folding the cardboard box it had been sitting in. Fuji offers it water, and the 'dog' responds by holding up a cue card with a simple 'thank you' written on it. Touched, Fuji heads to the convenience store to buy some dog food, which the dog enjoys enthusiastically. The next day, Fuji takes the dog to a veterinarian for a check-up. The vet quickly notes that this isn't quite a dog—but before anything else can be said, the dog raises a cue card firmly declaring himself, 'Dog.' After the treatment, Fuji takes it home, with the dog announcing that while the vet was kind, it will never be returning there. On their way back, they pass a park where a man is petting cats. The dog sneaks into the circle of cats, joining them and asserting, through its cue card, that it's also a cat, just so the man would pet him! Fuji explains the situation, and the two continue home. Later, while Fuji works, the dog asks her what she does for a living. She replies that she's a novelist. She then gives the dog a long bath, before soaking in the tub herself with a book—only to find the dog mimicking her, doing the same in its own way. The episode closes with Fuji and her 'dog' sharing a peaceful, quiet moment. As she gazes off thoughtfully, she muses, 'Where do all of us come from?' The Episode Review With You and the Rain begins with an absolutely adorable and charming first episode. The anime seems to follow an episodic format, focusing on the interactions between Fuji and the still-unnamed animal—quirky, funny, and heartwarming. It's immediately clear this show has been made with a lot of love, and that care comes through in both the storytelling and the soft, inviting art style. This is definitely for those who love a slow, slice-of-life experience, like soaking in a hot spring with your favorite book. If you enjoyed shows like Yuru Camp, there's a good chance this gentle, whimsical anime will find a place in your heart too. Next Episode

Foot and mouth disease outbreak in North West
An outbreak of foot and mouth disease (FMD) has been reported in the JB Marks municipality in the Dr Kenneth Kaunda district in the North West, the provincial department of agriculture and rural development said on Tuesday. In the first incident, the department was alerted by a private veterinarian who had visited a farm and saw suspicious signs. The state veterinarian collected samples, which were sent to the Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute to test for the disease. Another incident was detected at an abattoir in Madibeng. The clinical signs of the affected animals were missed at ante-mortem inspection but were detected on the slaughter line during the meat inspection process, the department said. Tissue samples were sent to the laboratory and the results confirmed both SAT 2 and SAT 3 types of the virus. The unslaughtered animals were escorted back to the farm of origin, a feedlot in Ventersdorp, through a Red Cross permit. 'Both farms linked to the outbreak have been put under quarantine, prohibiting the movement of animals and animal products,' the department said. The department has also identified all the farms that are linked to the Gauteng outbreak and those farms were being sampled for testing. All these farms have been put under precautionary quarantine until the test results are back. TimesLIVE

Kilgore High School student wins regional poetry competition
KILGORE, Texas (KETK) – On Friday, Young Audiences of Northeast Texas and Rusk County Poetry Society celebrated the annual Poetry and Schools competition, in honor of April being National Poetry Month. The competition was founded by the Rusk County Poetry Society and has been held for 50 years. Each year, teachers across the region submit poems for students that undergo a rigorous judging process. 36 winners are chosen from 12 grades for their outstanding literary pieces. 14th annual Arts and Education Awards recognizes East Texas fine arts educators The nonprofit organization Young Audiences of Northeast Texas has been involved in the competition for about a decade as a part of their mission to bridge gaps in arts education. 'It is so important to be able to give a platform for a voice for these students,' the organization's executive director Tasha Prescott said. Three students from each grade are selected for first, second and third place. Each year's 12th-grade first-place winner receives a scholarship to the college of their choice. This year, Harley Wells, a senior from Kilgore High School, received a $500 scholarship for her poem titled 'Veterinarian.' 'I always dreamed about being a veterinarian or at least a vet tech. I want to help animals. Saving animals is my dream,' Wells said. 'I was like 'why don't I put that in my poem' about how much I love animals and I want to put that into a career.' Wells said she plans to use the scholarship money to assist in beginning her college education in veterinary studies at Kilgore College. Once she completes that goal, she plans to transfer to Tyler Junior College and complete her degree. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
