This seems derivative to the top, the style of narration irks me too, but the whole thing was pretty sugary to watch, hope that this isnt just a decent introduction

I guess showing us a close-up of Koharu's big Koharus (and butt) is a good way to introduce her and never forget her name xD.

Anyway, I really liked this first episode. It was cute, comfy, funny and I like the 2 leads, especially Koharu. Looking forward to more.

Look like this will be a nice show to fill the void till we got more Yuru Camp content. Still pretty damn cute show, with a bit of a sad undertone here and there. Can already see the build of a similar friendship between Hiyori and Koharu, like Rin and Nadeshiko. Koharu is going to give me a lot of laughs this season.

Fishing is definitely a big unknown for me, but it's a good opportunity to learn a thing or two from the show.

Good start and looking forward for more.

Fishing anime looks like a slice of life much calmer to watch, the character introduction along with the protagonist wanting to fish with a friend generates relaxed scenes in the episode.

This was really really cute, loved it! Besides being an educational anime of cute girls, is also cute girls who became just sisters, which makes it even cuter lol Loved Koharu, too!

With how I just finished “Diary of our Days at the Breakwater” a few weeks ago, seeing another fishing anime so soon was a very welcome surprise, and this was a very good first episode. I love Hiyori and Koharu so far, they have a very nice dynamic and I like their designs, and so far the fishing parts are pretty informative just like in Breakwater, which I love. I can see this being a very wholesome way to end Fridays along with a certain other SoL airing this season!

These fishing anime are really making me wish it wasn’t winter rn lol, also nice Beatles reference in the episode.

Idk what to say, it aims to draw a normal story than an actual fishing anime like Teibou Nisshi. It isn't something particularly like a lot, but I can live with it for now and see where it goes.

Idk if I will watch this religiously, but only time will tell.

Koharu best onee-chan already!
Let's go! My comfy show of the season is finally here.

Pretty good start overall. First half was practically the premise of Yuru Camp's first episode minus the step-sisters reveal and the second half felt more like your usual Houkago Teibou Nisshi episode featuring the highly interesting fishing lessons. Really enjoyable stuff.

As for the slightly sad undertones, I wonder if they will play a major role later on in the series.

This kinda gives me the same feeling Yuru Camp gives me, even though they're not exactly similar, I love it a lot already.

The whole remarrying and becoming sisters part is really interesting, besides the wholesome fluff that we love, I hope they also explore that more. I am really looking forward for more, it scratches my Yuru Camp itch.

Easily the best first episode of the season so far. Relaxing, funny and just overall comfy to watch + you get to learn stuff that isn't presented like a dry fish.

Only thing that seems off to me is Koharu and Hiyori having their first meeting only AFTER the parents are moving together. It just irks me to imagine that they thought this was a good idea.

But I can look over that part if I still get good vibes nonetheless.

Awwwww it was so cute and gay!

Lesbian laying on top of another lesbian,,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

There was a lot of blushing and flirting. Petals flying in the air, girls sleeping next to each other and more sweet Yuri candy

The best moment IMO was when my little lesbians were holding hands in their school. Hiyoris face lights up like a million stars when her future wife Koharu grabs her hand,,,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

Great first episode, as expected from a Doga Kobo production.Oh and there was also some fishing in here,, I think! Lol, wasn't paying much attention to it sry =P

I have a major soft spot for CGDCT anime and this series was a definite shoo-in for my Winter watching schedule. As expected, the first episode was very chill and cute.

Aside from the amusing DomeKamo comparison of the girls meeting up as strangers, then becoming step-siblings at the end of the day, their chemistry together while fishing was really enjoyable. Koharu gets some bonus points for using her "British imagination" to help her get better at fly fishing. I'm biased here since I'm British myself! X3

The visuals from Connect is very pleasant and consistently good so far, which is to be expected since this is a CGDCT after all. Either way, this will be my comfy anime for this cold Winter Season. I'm looking forward to more episodes in the coming weeks. =)

I don't know if I'm the only one, but I think in terms of atmosphere, this anime has more Koisuru Asteroid vibes than Yuru Camp vibes. And in terms of fishing, I think Houkago Teibou Nisshi is better in explaining fishing techniques and tips (maybe because Slow Loop is more slice-of-life story focused rather than educational), but this anime is still pretty cute and relaxing. Looking forward to future episodes.

Another fishing anime added to my list, count me in for fun relaxing anime. The fact at the start they're now sisters, we will soon have a more lively anime. Possible yuri too, but will see.

I have no idea why would Koharu called that bait a "garbage". Ahhhh the comedy makes me laughed and smiled everyday XD

Next episode, another cute girl introduced as well. Let's goooooooo!

And I'm sure they will be in the same class for more cute interactions. The yuri vibing is really strong for this cuties XD

First off, this is the first time I'm commenting here, and I don't know if quoting is the same as replying because I don't see replying and I guess it is like replying. I'm sorry if I did it wrong.

Ha thanks for the comparisons and opinions. I don't think you are the only one, as I agree Slow Loop has similar overall vibe as Koisuru Asteroid (which I like a lot) and maybe just like Koisuru Asteroid, this show will have some other highlights (personalities, conflicts, friendship, etc.) that will take the plot weight off technicalities and such, which is absolutely fine by me. In fact I probably would prefer the style of Slow Loop / Koisuru Asteroid more.

Also your signature of that Comfy Camp Club looks nice.

Ooofff~ A Yuru Camp and Slow Start vibe for me. I'm already shipping them until it went down to the Citrus route but yeah,
so many yuri undertones for now (sorry, Im a Yuri fan,
let me live in my world, LOL)

Koharu is so adorable. I specially enjoy the part where she's imitating Hiyroi's line with a futon wrecker, LOL.
Love this CGDCT, Im in. Excited for this series.

it's a move-on-family story. Your feeling will be mixed between cutesy and lonely. The timeline for this episode is like this : talk about fishing, sad story, talk about fishing, sad story. repeat until the end. I hope the "sad" part is only for this episode. I'm watching this episode with a plain face. Don't know how to react.

And why does every girl who sees the sea for the first time always want to jump and swim immediately? it's like a ritual or something. Koharu shaking real bad, a good thing Hiyori "Stop" her.

The moment I like is the cooking part. Nuff said.

Hiyori and Koharu room is connected by dresser? Why does that "Wall" exist? But if Hiyori's dad is the previous owner of Koharu's room. He can hear/peek at his daughter. What a sly dad. lol
Yay!

I think that type of wall is a thing in Japan? I don't know. But I think it's called a sliding wall or shōji. Occasionally it can be seen in anime I believe, but not very common.

Ayyyy, looks like a new wholesome show is out.
Hoping it can give me some relaxing moments the same way Yuru Camp did.

The first episode was so sweet and funny. Love the relaxing type of humor.

Looks like an entirely average Kirara CGDCT. OK chemistry between the mains but premise/subject matter/humour etc not exactly interesting. Not bad, depending on the supporting characters could be enjoyable

@TsutanaiFuun "blushing too much" is normal when we talk about the shy character in moe show. I don't know how baitish it will be in the future, given that it's CGDCT and Kirara, but looking for romance only in the fact that the characters are blushing, that's meh.

It's not so much Kirara's problem as it is CGDCT itself, which in terms of diversity is moe version of isekai. Most of the works use the same formula just by changing the setting.

Classic. Be prepared that any moment of friendship between the characters will be declared yuri baiting in the future. Although, they are already doing it.

Haha I never said I was "looking" for romance, I don't know what made you think that. I only felt that there were Yuri vibes coz Hiyori is blushing a lot while interacting with Koharu, I don't think girls normally blush this much irrespective of being shy while interacting with other girls. I mean I haven't watched many animes but I've never noticed any girl in an anime blush so much while interacting with another girl.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

Houkago Teibou Nisshi I felt was about a 6-tier series to me and ended up giving it a 6/10 (I still liked it - there were just a few things which annoyed me and I found the protagonist, Hina, to be a little irritating and the other characters to be a little blah).

So I'm curious how this will end up comparing to Houkago Teibou Nisshi. So far it seems like more of a fusion between Houkago Teibou Nisshi and Yuru Camp? The premise and storyline are obviously closer to Houkago Teibou Nisshi just because of fishing alone and even the setting of a seaside town seems similar, but I feel like the main character we were first introduced to and the other girl are less bratty and sassy than Hina and the other school fishing club members.

Their respective personalities and general flow and dynamic seemed very much moreso reminiscent of Rin and Nadeshiko's first meeting in episode one of season one of Yuru Camp. The first season of Yuru Camp was an 8/10-tier series for me, so I'd rather it lean more in that direction than Houkago Teibou Nisshi, but at the same time I somehow doubt it will have the same small little nuances, powerful conveying of feelings, and top tier direction and background art as Yuru Camp.

Seriously? Man, this is literally the most clichéd depiction of the shy character. If she was tsundere, then you would see it even several times more often. Why are people so obsessed with the idea that blushing can only have a romantic context?
