| Really enjoyed this first episode! Doga Kobo has definitely done their research with regards to depicting fishing accurately visually. They sold the premise of the show with their spot-on depictions of the mechanics of fishing reels, lures, etc, and they really got the way that fish move and open their mouths perfectly. I could 'feel' everything that was happening in this first episode, so it was definitely using the senses effectively to ground the viewer in this world. Characters were cute, I liked their personalities, the comic timing and reactions were very funny, so overall this looks like it's going to be an enjoyable slice-of-life moe show! |
| Cute show and cute girls. I knew what to expect going into this one and I got what I wanted. Add the fishing on top and it seems like it's going to be a fun show. |
| Is it me, or does Kuroiwa look like she's 10 years older than the other girls? I thought she was the club advisor at first. |
 |
| I love me a cute, slice of life, outdoorsy anime so I'm all about this rn! I hope it continues being as enjoyable to watch bc I absolutely love it so far! |
 |
| Not much to say about this first episode. This was exactly what I expected, nothing more, nothing less. Usually the question is "can they make this interesting for a whole season?" and I hope they will, but it's tricky considering that fishing is basically just waiting for hours to catch and kill stuff. Yuri-Crusader said: Hina meet her old sweetheart! And Natsumi throw herself in Hinas arms. Awwww the lesbian lovebirds are so cute and they rekindle their love!!,YEEEEEEEES! Are we watching the same show? x) |
| Lovely first episode. Characters seem nice and I like how lively the color palette is. Still early to pick a best girl but I'm particularly interested in Makoto. Quiet girls usually tend to be my favorites in CGDCT shows so let's see. |
| It was a funny episode. I was surprised how quickly this episode felt (in a good way). :D NextUniverse said: so choose: this one or this one Why you didn't used link to official song? |

| This was just as I imagined it would be, pretty relaxing and cute. I'm glad it's not annoyingly cute, the characters seem alright and it can potentially be really nice SoL overall. |
  |
| I thought worse honestly, there is a tolerant level of moe, nice characters and a different activity than usual, as well as a certain sadism towards the protagonist. Good stuff. |
| Cute girls and fishing seems like a perfectly normal combo to me |
 |
| I really liked it! The only thing is when I watch an anime like this I swear I have a skill that I don't. LOL |
| i think you can kinda tell covid took a little bite off of the production value visually looks like it's from a decade back and there're couple moments that weren't animated terrifically well compared to what Doga Kobo is typically capable of doing |
 |
| w0w! i never thought i enjoyed this new show from Doga Kobo SoL fishing! 5/5. |
 |
| Actually this was really cute! I've always wanted to learn how to fish, so it really made me want to get on that. It's not overly moe and that's cool. This was pretty relaxing. |
| tentacle monster help in the blackmail of Hina into the club. those small fish they caught look tasty! :) can relate a bit to this as I experienced fishing using that rod with many hooks. I caught one fish using shrimp meat as bait, but got badly sunburned, was in pain for days. 7/10 for first ep. |
| Basically : Cute Girls Doing "Fishing" Things |
 |
| Ah yes... we've gone from Music Club to Astroid Club and now a Fishing Club. What Club will the next season hold? LOL (ones that isn't heavily funded like popular sports club, those are kinda boring since the feeling of achievements isn't as large as if you obtain it yourself and not from thousands of dollar the school throws at you) ___ ___ ___ Anyways, interesting episode. Was never a big fan of fishing, especially since I haven't really gone fishing myself... (games don't really count) Also, didn't know you kill Octopus by turning it inside out... dang... |

| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| Better than expected. Came off as much better paced and dynamic than Asteroid, with a more interesting and fun cast But at the same time didn't feel like it had A+ SOL potential, will almost certainly end up around a 6/10 in my scale |
| Actually, the PVs didn't impress me much, instead this episode proved to be delicious and fun, the narrative relaxed me and at the same time made me die laughing. The characters have proved suitable for the context and are very nice. The soundtrack is catchy, drawings and animations as good as quality. I think this show is my favorite of this season, I can't wait for the next episode to come. |
 |
| I never thought I would watch a fishing anime, that was my hobby since I was a child and now watching it in anime is the best thing in the world xD |
 |
| Doga Kobo doesn't relent with seasonal CGDCTs, and this series is no different, but the first episode here definitely sold better than last season's Koisuru Asteroid. Fishing in anime, when was the last time we've seen such material like this? Characters are definitely quirky, and WOW what a way to rub it in for first impressions a.k.a joining the club and such tactics. Nevertheless, looking forward to more of their funny interactions. Hina being the total city folk newbie, Kuroiwa being the teasing geezer veteran. Natsumi being the tropey eccentric childhood friend, and shy Oono, rounds up the Breakwater Club, filling the *always bare minimum* of small club numbers of "fate". "Ya catch it, ya eat it" sums Hina's virgin experience into her foray of fishing, no matter how much she's not into fishing, much less being unprepared for it. But experience makes up for it, and soon she learns the ropes through Natsumi and the rest. Never have I found myself smiling throughout this episode, and even Hina's fear for creepy crawlies are some fun had. A great start indeed. (Only now that Episode 4 and onwards are left to suspension due to Covid-19 which is sad...) |
 |
| Another cute girls doing cute things! It's cute and relax show.. |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| Dialect; liked it Characters; cute and funny OP/ED; Really good Atmosphere; Amazing Animation; Decent for such an anime I guess I love seeing an anime with ocean/coast/harbour !! |
 |
| A SoL CGDCT type of show. Its even talked about an interesting scenario: fishing club! An excitement show, i believed. Unfortunately, i was too late to realise this sooner. Woops, my bad there. So, yeah, i am pretty enjoying this first part of Introduction. Hina's clumpsiness was understandable. And her kinky reaction there, lol, too adorable and so cute. I can't hold myself. I can't say much about the others girl. Its just too soon. A next episode might fortified my mind about their personality and their impact on my satisfaction. As i said, this is such a relaxing show. It just, well, so unfortunate to got a delay because of the COVID complex problematic. So, better than late, let me just finished this first fourth episodes! |

| I resume the vision of this anime series left in suspense, starting from the beginning. The first episode was very pleasant, the credit goes to the soundtrack that manages to relax a lot because of its sounds and the characters who are very nice and funny. The script and the direction do a good job offering a narrative with calm rhythms and with very funny comic sketches. Already in this episode all or almost all the characters are presented, so the wait and the nervousness that can arise in having to wait for a new character to show up is already set aside from the beginning, oh well! The quality of the foregrounds and backgrounds is appreciable, and the drawing style is not bad, perhaps also for this reason that I love Studio "Doga Kobo". |

| I've seen enough hentai to know what mr octopus would have done before he got slaughtered.. Fishing is fun but kinda sucks that Hina was forced to join. Glad that she at least tried it once more and found some joy catching the small fish after the traumatic octopus-incident |
 |
| Very cute, funny, and relaxing start. I immediately got some Yuru Camp and Non Non Biyori vibes. That club application scene was amusing. Poor Hina, lol. I loved her reactions throughout the episode. |

| This has been on my want to watch list for a little bit now, and I'm hot off finishing Slow Loop and saw a thread about these being put head-to-head. So, here I am to double down on fishing anime. This is much faster paced than I expected and reminds me more of some of the funny all female cast, "girl club" anime that I've enjoyed the past couple years. My only quip being that I feel bad for Hina as she got bullied into this club. Kinda rubs me the wrong way, but, I suppose, this wouldn't be a show if not for the friction created by that premise. Anyway, I'm looking forward to see what's to come! |
 "...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?" |
| It's a pretty slow start and I can already sense some Nagatoro lite version here in Natsumi's character |
| I love this already! So happy this is finally available in my region! :D |
 |
| As an angler who collects JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) fishing gear, I am really enjoying this basic introduction to Japanese fishing. This style of CGDCT is not my favorite, but the laid back and relaxed slice of life, and the fishing content, will have me coming back for the entire series. |
| Decided to re-watch this lovely anime. Kuroiwa being sly like a fox never gets old. Oono is reliable and sweet and Natumi very genki indeed. Hina got herself a good crew. |
 |
| The brutality of turning octopus guts inside out and biting fish heads off apparently mixes well with CGDGT, oddly enough. Hina's internal quipping is pretty funny as well, and definitely not something you usually see from shy and demure protagonists. |

| lovecraftian tentacle ræp right off the bat. really makes you despair about the future of cute girls doing cute things if these kinda sexual deviant krakens creep into our slice of life anime. |
