I think it's a misunderstanding, much like Kemono Friends in its time.
Everybody is like "it's not realistic, they have gods in their mobile, it's sjw propaganda", but:

It's a bit sad because the anime has strong points too beyond it's obvious childish over-the-topness, like how it took the pain to include several dialects that are almost never seen in anime. It has pretty good backgrounds too.

Japanese Air Force very recently allowed women to be fighter pilots, so this show took a recognizable modern topic and used it for a narrative convinience - to justify why the cast is all-girls, give them some obstacles to overcome and make what they do look like an actual achievement, not 9-to-5 job.

Bunch of idiots (I assume american idiots) got triggered by this supposedly SJW propaganda, because obviosly an anime about cute girls fishing in space made to advertise a mobile game was meant to cater to tumblr feminists.

Because it's fucking trash. From the first words in the opening - PC shit with forcing to employ rookie females, Fish's extintion = End of life on Earth, awful MC, awful Green's voice, etc.

I only watched it's first episode accidentally - just randomly clicked an anime to test something. But to me, it was so silly and funny I watched the whole episode and decided to watch the rest of the series. Kept laughing through the whole episode.
And I do like the many included dialects. It adds to the fun/challenge.
I had no idea it's for a game, but it's silliness and funnyness won me. Gonna watch it.

unless i missed something, it doesnt actually say that female fishermen are in demand in the actual official site.
http://soraumi-anime.com/introduction/

all it says is that there was an increase in equal opportunity and people decided to also let women become fishermen (that is, give them the same opportunity they apparently didnt have before).

edit: im not really into fishing, but i might give this one a shot since it seems to be a typical cgdct.

3 eps in 7/10 so far for me & also don't understand the low 4.9 rating here.
But then again Grand Blue's current rating(8.41) on mal is a much bigger mystery to me, especially since it deserves the same 4.9 rating.
=MAL scores makes no sense.

I have no idea why it's so low, but I loved the anime so much. I played the game a bit, It has the same opening as the game and it seems like it adapted the story very well. The animation also seems okay to me except the CGI that does not blend too well.
Maybe the one that scored it low is just the one that thinks the story is too stupid and can't be realistic, I mean come on It's an anime, who cares if fishes going to be extinct and there are seas in the space LOL

Here's an actual "SJW" POV on this show. TL;DR, they don't like it either.
https://www.animefeminist.com/review-between-the-sky-and-sea-episode-1/

Emphases added:
Do y’all remember the 90s? More specifically, the “Grrl Power” movement that suffused a lot of western (particularly American) media at the time? It was a particular kind of well-meaning-but-tryhard media, often written by men, that wanted to let you know that GIRLS CAN DO ANYTHING and they’re TOUGH AND INDEPENDENT…but along the way usually painted sexism in laughably two-dimensional terms and either failed to examine or outright perpetuated more subtle forms of sexism and misogyny.

(...)this premiere also undercuts its own seemingly sincere message at every turn. The six leads are broad archetypes who act out pre-approved designations of quirkiness, and Haru in particular is so far along the “clumsy ditz” scale that I was left afraid for the safety of her coworkers. And the male antagonists are the type to loudly shout “girls shouldn’t be allowed in this field!” so that the audience can pat themselves on the back and say “well, I’m not that bad.”
(...)
The girls’ boss is the cherry on top, the only woman we’re shown in a position of authority…who is extremely emotional at the drop of a hat and repeatedly needs reigned in (sic) by her levelheaded male assistant. I’m still puzzling over her outburst at one of the recruits using “boku”—is it because any kind of masculinity is a betrayal of The Cause? Because her assistant lightly touched the girl on the shoulder, and The EssJayDubyahs are calling any kind of friendly, innocuous touch sexual harassment? I’d like to know what kind of straw feminist I’m dealing with here, show.
(...)
You did indeed try, show. I kind of wish you hadn’t.

I relate to these comments.
Dawnstorm: The bizarrest thing about this is that anime girls have been doing these sort of things for years and years and years, and the expectation is that men exist at best as background radiation. I went into this show taking this fantasy space so for granted that it took me a whole second to realise what was going on.

Ayal92: You nailed it. After an anime where tankery is a female only sport a fictional job with gender politics straight out of 1950 is really jarring.

There is one girls vs. boys CGDCT I really loved: https://myanimelist.net/anime/5141/Taishou_Yakyuu_Musume

It's set in the 1920's, so the boys' attitude is to be expected, and they are portrayed with humanity, not as cardboard antagonists. The way the conflict worked out was more satisfying than I expected.

Because affirmative action is in place?

its just a setting about overcoming barriers, doesn't feel like SJW shit to me.
Run off the mill CGDCT show IMHO, something that normally would get a 5.5 to 6 rating here on MAL.

but now it's under 5, seems to me like there was massive group think down voting because of that label.

Nothing stellar about that show, but you'll not convince me that it's not better than this season imouto show

Things like this made me cringe sooo hard it's like the script is done by a child
And then you can add the "male team", everytime I saw them I have a urge to throw up.
Stereotype "happy/airhead" MC etc.

The only good thing I would say is that the "design" of the anime is pretty.

Because anime fans have their heads shoved so far up their asses that they can't distinguish "girl power" themes from actual feminist propaganda, so they downvote this anime to oblivion. You can bet that if this anime didn't have this theme about women overcoming barriers then the score would definitely be higher, since at its core this is a CGDCT anime with plenty of fan service and weebs love that.

People finding the story stupid or not liking the characters I can totally agree with, but people bashing this and calling it "SJW shit" are seriously retarded and their opinions should be disregarded. So far I like what I've seen and I think it's well deserving of the score that I gave it, which is a 6. But then again, I'm relatively easy to please and I tend to be generous with scores.

I did find it a little obnoxious what with the men vs. women thing, but that in itself was not what rubbed me the wrong way - they start incorporating women into space fishing as well, as it's so far been pretty much exclusive to men, and they need a team to properly represent women and show 'em what for.

Now who do we pick?

Ah, yes, we pick a group of largely inexperienced teenage girls and pit them against the elite fishers of the area. Yeah, that'll teach 'em.

And, this is never brought up. The anime acts like it's a men vs. women thing, when the actual issue is the experience gap. Not once so far have they seemed to think that "hey, we're competing against teenagers who've basically never done this before, perhaps that's why they're having a tough time".

Also, yes, all the characters are different kinds of annoying, but Namino really insists on being a huge pain in the ass, demanding training and perfect results, YET stopping at basically nothing to tear her own group apart. "A spacefisher in our team that DOESN'T EAT SUSHI!!??!? I WILL NEVER ACCEPT THIS!!!111!1" Girl. Please. Get some help. And I don't like how Haru so gladly puts up with all her abuse, either, going through so much shit and then cheering in jubilation whenever she gets the smallest kind of acknowledgement from her. Namino doesn't need someone groveling for her, she needs someone to give her five across the face.

This show doesn't deserve all the hate and overall rating 5.7. Yes, the premise is ridiculous and the characters are nothing special, but the story and writing were ok and the last 3 episodes were really good.
