Houkago Teibou Nisshi (Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater)

Hina Tsurugi and her family have just moved to a quaint seaside town. Hoping to savor the sight of the peaceful ocean, Hina stumbles upon a girl named Yuuki Kuroiwa—an upperclassman at her new school—who invites Hina to join her in fishing. Hina reels in an octopus, which falls onto her; being afraid of bugs and big creatures, she panics and begs Yuuki to remove it from her. Yuuki sees this as an opportunity to force Hina to join the school's Breakwater Club—a club where members gather, catch, and eat various types of marine life as their main activity.

Although her attempts to refuse to join fail, Hina slowly begins to discover the hidden joy in fishing. Her view on the sport changes, now looking forward to all the delightful experiences she can take part in alongside her fellow club members.

I thought this anime was just full of comedy at the first time, but I was wrong.
It's quite educational explaining about fishing and similar stuff with these 4 middle school girls (another CGDCT/ Cute Girls Doing Cute Things anime)
The atmosphere is calming and gave me relaxation. Mostly takes place at shore.
Also there is moral of the story about how to treat animals around the sea that is not fish or other sea creatures.
The characters are enjoyable not too exagerrated and each characters have unique different personality.
Overall, this anime is recommended for you who likes slice of life, sports and people who works as fisherman or ...

First impressions are all about how worthwhile a show is and if one should watch it. While it may seem like just another CGDCT's anime, nevertheless the twist of fishing really surprised me in how different everything felt. The daily life of a club about fishing is the perfect setting for this type of slice-of-life.

Made by Doga Koba, they are known for multiple anime, but are notably known for slice-of-life. The many examples include, New Game, Maoujou de Oyasumi, Yuru Yuri, Gabriel DropOut, Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san, Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita!, and Himouto! Umaru-chan. When it comes to comfy daily lives of anime ... girls there aren't many better studios out there for the job.

The style of slice of life that Houkago Teibou Nisshi goes for is more mature and slow than most may enjoy. It's not the witty fast line slice of life or very eventful really. Doga Koba has this style down pat and even makes something as dull looking as fishing enjoyable while also going into depth about different types of fishing.

It starts off with the introduction to our protagonist Hina Tsurugi who moved to the countryside with her family. In a seaside town she'll be transferred to a new school, she's quite nervous being in this new environment. Hina's personality is typical of the genre being kind with a cheery demeanor. She originally wanted to join the arts and crafts club due to her passion for all things associated with it, however Hina is suckered into joining the Breakwater Fishing club after antics with the clubs president, Yuuki Kuroiwa. It's difficult for Hina at first because she has a fear of large fish, which becomes a running gag throughout the show. It's a fun introduction, nothing mind blowing innovative though. Hina is fun to follow around and the setting in a small seaside town is unique! The teaching of fishing was really cool too.

The rest of the cast is just as likeable as Hina, and over time she becomes more comfortable with the club and those in it. Yuuki Kuroiwa's aloof demeanor comes off as nonchalant with things around her, despite this she care deeply about her club and those in it. Makoto Oono is the most reliable member in the club when it comes to fishing. She's able to clean fish well, cook, and overall very knowledgeable about fish. Natsumi Hodaka is the typical childhood friend, she likes to tease Hina and looks like a tomboy but in actuality is very good student much to Hina's surprise and very supportive of Hina's growth as a fan of fishing. It's a small but comfy club with each episode focusing on the life of fishing with friends!

The best time to watch Houkago Teibou Nisshi is after being burnt out on seasonal anime. These type of down to earth anime hit new levels of comfort when you're burnt out. One of the helping factors being the comedy which was surprisingly funny at times, mostly because the characters sold it really well. As an anime the calm tone mixed harmoniously with the comedy. I recommend Houkago Teibou Nisshi for slice of life enthusiasts that like a mature tone.

Mixed Feelings

Even though Houkago Teibou Nisshi is categorized as a fishing anime, I like to think of him more as a sports cooking anime. When the characters manage to catch a fish, the anime celebrates the moment in a very conquering and rewarding way. He also praises the realization of the characters at the time of their meals, in addition to an organic preparation, the foods are always framed with an extra shine, there is an avidity built that stimulates a thirst for continuity in these actions. This method is very similar to that used in Dr. Stone, who also exalted his achievements well and was ...
