The only thing I appreciate is the fishing and art style and disagree with every other thing.

Here we go again with yet another CGDCT and this had a nice premiere. Liked both of the protags, the contrast in their personalities made their interactions quite amusing. The fishing parts were quite enjoyable even without much fishing involved and more info related to fishing, fishes and cooking. Thou this episode had some gloomy moments too which makes sense given their circumstances but since it's a CGDCT I hope the atmosphere will stay cheerful most of the time. Liked the first episode, hopefully this'll be a fun watch.

LMAOOO they really went with the domekano route.

CGDCTs are the happiness of life. I really liked the first episode, the girls were very cute. Their first interaction was great too. I didn’t expect a ass and boob shot right at the start but I’m not complaining. They look so cute together. A good yuri material.

This is a really cute first Episode, at first it reminded me of yuru camp by the first 5 min of the first episode and this actually looks like it will become a really good anime.

I remember reading this a while ago it feels like now, and enjoyed it. To which it surprised me that it got an anime adaptation, but it's honestly sweet and comfy kind. I do hope many can enjoy this as I did. Do love the art style, and the voices so far fit perfectly.

After a year of waiting, I finally got to see Slow Loop as an anime. And so far, so good, this anime is in good hands by Connect. I'm glad that the art stood up to my expectations, and the VA's are alright. The one voicing Hiyori is actually a rookie, which is nice.

Now people are going to joke about the DomeKano similarity, where Hiyori and Koharu meet up as strangers and ended up going home as stepsisters. And yes, they're not going "that" way (I hope not). Aside from that, this anime is also just as similar with Yuru Camp with the character's dynamics, but that's not all. This anime is mostly close with Houkagou Teibou Nisshi, which is also an anime set nearby the ocean. And if it's not obvious enough, we'll be taught about fishing, so it's just like HTN.

With that and all, I appreciate that Slow Loop will be my weekly dose of stress reliever, because trust me, me and you need these kinds of anime every so often. And if you're led to believe that I've read the manga of this series, you'll be wrong, I'm just happy that I get to watch this. Let's go all the way!

Not like I was planning to but since I watched, it was fun having that crazy coincidence lol. Have seen that same thing somewhere else too but anyways loved watching both Hiyori and Koharu doing their fishing stuffs. So I hope it grows up on me.

My favorite moe show begins: narratively, it's sweet enough to get diabetes almost immediately. It is not like the anime "Houkago Teibou Nisshi" and this is good because it protects it from undue comparison and makes the vision free from prejudice. I like the character design, the atmosphere is pleasant and relaxing, the quality of the drawings is good and the characters are nice. I hope this anime can only get better until it's done.

Now this was cute and wholesome. I have a feeling though that there will be a drama episode somewhere. Like new sis accidentally breaks dead daddys fishing rod and a fight arrives. But whenever that happens, happens.

Great episode! I loved this first episode so much! The coincedence of Hiyori's new sister being Koharu who she just fished with a bit ago was funny and great xD.
Koharu's British Gentleman's throw was very funny too and she's interested in fishing.

Looking forward to the next episode!

Really good start so far, and the animation is surprisingly really good for these type of anime, I was expecting it to be not very good to be honest but I guess I was wrong. I also like the ending too, really sweet. Looking forward to episode 2.

Hiyori isn't much of a people person huh. But i guess its an effective method when dealing with strangers. I guess Koharu wanted to sample the local terrain before formally moving in. Eating something that you caught yourself though is the best feeling ever. Still to think that the person that Hiyori's mother's remarrying is actually Koharu's dad small world indeed. Though the sudden changes in family can be tricky for a kid to deal with having Koharu as a new sister was a god send for Hiyori. Koharu trying to summarize England through some of its most well known aspects was amusing as were the recipe's. Overall a pretty fun opening ep that while doing well in showcasing the fishing aspect of the narrative also did well to introduce the family aspect as well through Hiyori and Koharu's new bond. Looking forward to seeing how this series goes as i found this ep to be pretty enjoyable and calming.

Awful. The sloppy, cheap-o art is kinda endearing, but couldn't get past the halfway mark. "what a coincidence!" Dropped. The other cute girl fishing anime actually knew how to make the activity not seem tedious. (As an aside I wish this moe edutainment stuff would die already, I don't need a lesson,)

Great first episode, I'm getting some major Super Cub vibes from this! The visuals are really good, and I can't wait to see more of this.

My only disappointment is that we haven't gotten to see the opening yet.

This one is a good fishing for being just feel good, not like Houkago Teibou Nisshi that have some nasty character that spoil the good felling.

A new CGDCT anime but with a bit of character development and imo more chemistry between the characters, loved what I saw from the manga and I love how well received the first episode was! By the end of the season personally, I think this might become my favorite “SoL” story.

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.

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.
