This episode made me fall in love with this series so much more.

1. Oono. Omg I fucking Love her lol. Just her joy throughout the first part when she was able to float was so good.

2. I've always been a fan of the realism in this anime but the second part really hit me hard. I went from laughing and loving the Floating part to legit tearing up when it came to the Herring and what they go through with Fishing Lines. I'm actually really glad they brought that up because it goes to show that it is a big problem and people are TRASH for not picking up their TRASH!

Another great episode

Felt bad for the poor Heron. Hina is very thoughtful.

First half of the episode was full of laughs, but also very informative. The do it all ougi is struggling to stay afloat, LOL.

Second half was pretty funny as well, but took a turn into a “deeper” side of the fishing community where their activities harm wildlife and animals other then the fish they are catching. This sorta stuff is nice to see, especially within a fishing anime.

They didn’t really fish much this episode, but rather focused on things that a fisherman should know and do.

While Hina’s intentions weren’t good, at least she helped that bird.

Shoot. This is it. This is probably going to be my favorite episode of this anime. The first part was cute but the second part was actually kinda sweet. ;__; I wasn't expecting that. These are some good kids. ;o;; But I liked how they didn't make it melodramatic and solely preachywith the Heron the whole time. They made it a little more thoughtful but also humorous. Great work.

Enjoy your anime! | Witch Cafe Wisteria

I almost shed a manly tear during the scene that led up to Hina not being able to sleep because of that injured Heron. I didn't expect this light hearted anime to make me this emotional :)
Honestly same here

Feel a little uncomfortable in the water in sports clothes.

Does using bad acting on birds make sense? The bird knows you already! 😂

It seems a bit abrupt, but it makes sense to watch it purely as an environmental anime.

Anime that, previously also, has a strong ecological footprint, confirming how much it does not want to be just funny and funny, but also a vehicle to increase the importance of man's impact on nature. This episode is fun and instructive, with a narrative also devoted to technical aspects. At certain moments the situations were really nice and very funny.

Hina really is oblivious to the world...now even having a general idea how car airbags work..

Nice to see some environmental aspect of fishing

The first part was hilarious. One of the best pool segments ever. Poor Oona.

The second part was surprisingly touching. I'm glad they were able to help that bird. Sadly, in real life every day those birds and the other animals are suffering because of us.

Nice episode, although Sayaka-sensei looks weird with her eyes open while sober.
Go Oono-senpai! Overcome your fear!

People who leave their trash is trash themselves.

That is all.

I actually cried a little. This sucks when animals are suffering because of stupid humans.
Thanks God there are real human beings who save animals.
Despite all her flaws i really like Sayaka. She is a careful sensei and a good friend. She is also pretty hot.

Even when Kotani is being useful, she's not.

The birb thing was a bit heavy-handedly sad, but it's nice that Hina managed to make a slight difference in the world. She even managed to make a friend along the way, and as well all know that's the real treasure.

I love this episode! The first half was of course very funny, but we also get a nice little PSA in the second half! I'm definitely going to keep that in mind whenever I go fishing for the first time :D

The Japanese really love to pick up trash and clean up after themselves which brings us to todays message, always pick up your own trash and don't throw trash in the ocean for it can affect wildlife

Okay, it may not be the deeply moving Iyashikei masterpiece that is Slow Loop, but this episode puts the Breakwater Club into my favorites list! First we get a safety lesson, and an economic lesson, in the use of inflatables. Then we get the example of environmental stewardship and animal welfare. This is awesome. I can think of more than a few anime that could have used more attention to safety. (Eye protection Do It Yourself!? Motorcycle safety classes, Super Cub?)

Hina can't decide whether the heron is her enemy or her friend, so I guess you could settle for rival ^^

Either way, they all went out of their way to remove the fishing line from the heron's leg once Hina did some searching around the topic, which was a really endearing act.
