| Wow that was such a good anime. I gave this a go because fishing has literally never been done before in an anime, and I thought I'd get a simple introspective of the hobby with some zany characters thrown in...however I got that and also a genuine tale of friendship, regret, and finding the meaning of life.... I do think it needed one more episode in the oven when it comes to Tsunehiro and his sickness. I would have loved like a flashback montage of his life, and also the resolution of his sickness/disease. However despite that, it was a great watch. Unfortunately it won't get the recognition it deserves and will be watched only by a few, but I'm glad I was a part of that minority. I'm both happy and somewhat sad about this fact. Sad, that mainstream audiences continue to only consume what's mega popular such as Dandandan because of trends and will not witness such a great story like Angler presents. However I'm happy because at the same time, those types of people can almost never appreciate the more down to earth and more true to the core stories. Tho, the few that do value it, are the ones that I'm proud to call my fellow anime fans, and I'm happy that small dedicated following can see the beauty of stories like this A hidden gem for sure ! 8/10  |

| My 302nd completed series chronologically. For the record, I extended it a 6/10 rating. |
| Pretty unusual series and not bad over all. |
| all in all i loved the characters and character interactions a lot hoped for more drama / hospital or what the heck was wrong with him in the first place explanations but yeah know i know how lure fishing works, at least the gist of it :D. Since i don't go fishing i applied similar baiting logics on my cat and it works. So it must work on fishes too. Lol random side comment you can ignore. Nice edutainment series. |

| What a nice catch! And I'm glad he expressed his gratitude. Very sad that the brother lost his life after a fight. About the ending, after the credits/ED... So if the deadline has passed = He won't die? Confused. But I liked this anime! A bit unusual, but entertaining. |

| This is by no means a bad anime but I feel the story would have worked better as a movie with either focusing on the drama or focusing on the fishing. Animation was somewhat weak too, and the plot progression felt awkward, like they sell you that the terminal illness of Tsunehiro would be the biggest causing of drama yet it's barely touched. The part of the debt collectors was also anticlimatic and added almost nothing to the overall story, and the last three chapters felt like "oh yeah we need to give an ending to this series". Anyway, it sort of worked. 7/10. Recommended but still flawed. |

| Super happy with the way things ended, but underwhelming for sure. It did make me emotional, but it was rushed tbh it would've been nice to have another 2 episodes or at least 1 more. I don't like how he abruptly said bye to everyone and that was it. It was cool that they got over the situation pretty quickly and moved on like proper adults should do. I feel really bad for Takaaki and how his brother passed away. I can't imagine the immense guilt he must feel on a daily basis. Second season would be greatly appreciated, but very unlikely considering its an original. |
