*Looked at the current rating

I think, in THAT case, it is enough to built your own opinion about that anime. Whoever watches it, have fun with that train wreck.^^

Yeah, we need more CGDCT in different setting.
It would be much fun if the setting is in space.

Sci-fi would be good. Have any CGDCT had fantasy settings, making friends with dragons and such?

2018:


@Gridley YOU CAUSED THIS :D
(and I caused Endro, but Reincaranted as a Slime is doing the dragon friend thing)

Was not expecting that Gundam trope (totally unprepared kid get in cockpit and go). Kinda refreshing after Yorimoi went the believability route and took half a season just to get to the boat.

There are so many questionable facets to this worldbuilding, some more low-key. In the future, they start space fishing AND THEN have to pass an act to allow women to do it. Glorious Nippon.

but the whole gender thing with the guys looking like dicks and the girls looking like victims was so cliche and frustrating.

Quite so. Unfortunately, I am expecting many critics of gender politics will call this feminism when it is much closer to a farce of feminism. Perhaps it's best that I not read comments regarding how gender is portrayed lest I pop a vein.

And no one has mentioned this yet, but, uh... if all the fish in the world disappeared, where did they get the fish to fill the space tanks? I guess the guardian deities filled them up, huh? (Maybe Ebisu-sama, who strangely enough is not even mentioned in this episode when they're picking their deities.) I can accept a certain amount of suspension of disbelief, but that one really pushes it.

Finally, I'm getting really sick of "there's an app for that" anime, where the phone/app might as well be a character since it's such an integral part.

That's three strikes against this one, so I'm dropping it as fast as I can.

The male characters annoyed me. The only reason the girls wasn't successful at space fishing is because two of them haven't been to space yet and one of them (Haru) who is still on her first day space fishing to the point that she has no training.

Of course they wouldn't be able to do the same as those who have already fully trained to space fish. There's nothing about space fishing that shows us that girls can't do it. So the male "Antagonists that will probably have a heart of gold once they get over their sexism" being mean to them is really going to annoy me.

I don't have the same opinion on Haru as most of you. To me, she wasn't annoying at all. I like how friendly and outgoing she is. Haru is likely to be the one who brings the characters together with her ability to easily make friends.

Also that cat was really pretty! The same with the fox deity. So cute!


I hope Ruby is introduced next episode. She looks adorable!

Was looking forward to this, and am not going to say I was disappointed, but wasn't expecting the guardian deity shit which made the premise seem a thousand times more childish than it could have been. Haru is pretty fun, not sure what everyone else's problem is. Will probably keep watching for the girls and the humor, the latter which worked for me.

Okay so I finished watching it and this so far has to be one of the weakest premiere in my eyes. However, this just goes as so far since we haven't gotten a lot. On paper the premise is ridiculous, but for some odd reason while in practice it just doesn't work, I felt quite intrigued with it, not gonna lie.

I'll keep watching it for sure just to see how it goes later on but we'll see.

Lol @ people whining about the men being dicks and females being victims when in reality anime often has females who fit set tropes and a select couple are the female being a-holes. Though, they are female and the anime fandom loves their waifus.

Yet agai the anime fandom displays hypocritical and potentially sexist views on characters.

i have to say i LOVE Maki's voice =D (specially when she was talking about the commands and stuff at minute 13)

i wasnt going to watch this how because of the space fish premise, but i ended up checking it, and so far it isn't that bad, i might actually finish it lol

people hating on the main girl being energetic, i say that, seeing her energetic stuff in the preview was what made me want to check the episode

Why can't we just fish normally with a boat, boots and a fishing rod? What's up with that flashy space and magic fishing?? It was more like a slaughter than fishing, they were attacking rather than fishing.

Man this was such a let down, I thought it would be as the synopsis say, a good old regular fishing trip of girls who dream of catching the big one with regular equipments please. What's up with all the apps and god tiers??? This is will be a drag for me, hello bad anime (*sigh)

The concept was interesting, but it lacks seriouness, a lot of it. The characters were obnoxious, the comedy was terrible and the plot was dumb, everything was handled in pretty much the worst way possible.
The only props I can give this episode is that at least it was not as stupid as the first ep of Classrooom Crisis, so it's just the 2nd worst start for a disappointing space related anime.

Oh God...another smartphone game adaptation? And by the same studio, TMS Entertainment, no less, with the SAME production help that did the obscene Senjuushi last season...

Have to say that while this show had the YoriMoi feels, the most obvious part is not to expect anything on the levels of YoriMoi. Other than that, it's...SUBJECTIVELY ok, and the smartphone troupe is plastered everywhere to the level of annoyance.

The plot is TOO FAST (almost felt like Episode 2) to begin with, and even if it's meant to be a showcase, the producers obviously didn't care and just manifested everything here, as if to tell us: "Hey ppl! This is what you're gonna see for the rest of everything, so it's copy-and-paste!"

The concept of space + fishing...it is like those free-for-all fishing arcade machines, same concept, poor adaptation.

We don't need another Senjuushi, and this show just proved a similar concept.

Girls can't go space fishing? That's racist *ding!*....So much for the Equal Employment Opportunity Law...

Hey you can't call her Makimaki-san! There's only one Makimaki who I will call Makimaki!

App download!? Well..this is a gacha game after all...

Wow...nice environments...lots of color...You don't see that everyday in anime...

So she got the scout deity? I think that's pretty useful...

Holy crap this is like Mecha Monster Hunter Underwater...IN SPACE! If they can do action scenes like this in each episode (or at least every other episode), then I am down with this! The first minutes of Haru doing random cute stuff was a bit of a time waste though, so hopefully less of that and more fishing...

Hmm.. not bad... but also not very good. Fishing for large tuna in space? And the conflict seems forced... it's newbie vs. veteran fishermen, predictable result.

Why Haru, the Fmc has to be so irritating and scandalous, it reminded me when I started watching Black Clover and how it almost made my ears bleed from the scandal that is Asta.
The premise of space fishing gave me curiosity, added to the classic "cute girls doing cute things", but the character design gives the feeling of a copy-paste.
Anyway, despite everything I did not feel that I lost my time, it is also the first episode, if I could stand Asta, I could also hold Haru.

Ok wait. So the fish disappeared, 10 years go by and nothing happened. Then, Japan decided to build these fish tanks in space to fulfill the desire for fishing.

So here are two big questions:
1) Where did the fish in the fish tanks come from?
2) And more importantly, if man was able to make the fish reappear, then why not just have them on Earth itself?

I'm not seeing a very efficient way of resolving this bizzare phenomenon right now. Then again, 3 episodes, though I am very doubtful. 😁

Exactly my thoughts. Add 3) Why didn't they just put normal fish in the tanks instead of monsters that require smartphone gods to be caught? O_o

I'll give it my usual 2-3 episodes truce to see if this goes anywhere, although I can't see how this could go fine...

The idea originally is quite interesting until you introduce a Honoka airhead dumb version that literally insults people intelligence. I don't wanna judge before finish this anime but this one is beyond bearable at least the animation wasn't so bad but ehhh....

Main Character is objectively the worst type of character. Unbearably annoying, a detriment to others and non-apologetic about that, and completely unaware of anything going on around her. A waste of space.

Space fishing isn't the worst idea, but putting gods into smartphones to catch them is absolute bullshit. This anime is so dumb.

I thought it was just going to be a slice of life, warm and fuzzy girls fishing show with an interesting environment. I would have rated it like a six, but enjoyed watching it. This instead is just bottom of the barrel trash. 3 or 4/10 moving on.

Unless Point 3 is just because it provides some thrill in the fishing to make some kind of new sport. Then that would be stupid because someone could literally die from this. 😁

So here is my timeline of this series.

Pre-watch: > reads a few posts in this thread
Beginning: "Yeah, MC is sort of annoying, but not the worst VA"
Pre-space: "It's not that bad. It's a shame they all have mediocre voice acting. I think I can get some enjoyment out of this"
God app: "What the fuck"
Combat scenes: "How is that even possible?"
Final scene: "Is every one of these characters mentally challenged?"

This gets 2 episodes, not 3.

I was expecting a funny sci-fi adventure, not this mess.

WTF is this gender politics nonsense? When was mentioned in the begging I was thinking 'well, let's see the explanation of the why' then i get "UUH, girls can't fish WITH MECHS because girls are dumb"...... I was not expecting a bs like that.

The rest felt just meh, annoying mc, extremely rushed story and the comedy attempts fall flat.

I think this was the fastest and surest drop for me of the season. Annoying female characters with no real sense to their actions and although the concept is interesting, I feel like it would be much better as just a thing that's there as apart of a wider story about just the future or maybe with a more serious tone, not this crap. Each to their own though, just too moe and wanna-be slice of life for me.

Couldn't even made it to the end of the episode, dropped it the moment phones started summoning weapons for the submarines, nothing really made any sense before, but that was just too much.

Nice. Already found the worst anime of the season.

Space fishing sounds AWESOME, but the writing is atrocious here. Nothing made sense in this episode and everything just flew by without any explanation. WTF was with those deity things?

And women being banned from fishing? What the hell. Why would women ever be banned from fishing? That was completely forced and silly.

And if everyone rate everything 10 like you then why even have scoring in the first place. I can throw your words back at you. It's like you are saying every shows that attempt to be wacky and over the top automatically deserve a high score regardless of quality. There are plenty of over the top shows with high rating, this one is just a bottom of the barrel shitty over the top show. I'd say it deserves way less than 5.

I actually quite like the MC, Karin's voice acting here is so reminiscent to Hegochin's speaking voice, bloody amazing.

The concept is really absurd, literally no reason for all the fish disappearing, no reason for them to construct the 'pools' in space, no reason for them to use monster fish, no reason for the women to be barred, no reason for the cadets to be teenagers, and more importantly no way to be entertaining over 12 episodes.

I'm all for feminism but the sexism notion here is so fucking contrived it's comical. Presumably they'll 'prove' that girls are worthy enough to go and fish and that would be a major plot point. It needn't be proven in the first place, so it will all look pointless.

I'm reminded of Houkago no Pleiades, at least that had some pretty visuals and a refreshing delicate atmosphere. Still dropped it though, so the future for SoraUmi seems bleak to me.
