Slow Loop is a series that is near and dear to my heart. When I picked it up to read, I was not only quite surprised by it's story, but overall just how cute it truly can be. As lets face it. While this show has a lot of dark undertones for it's product, there is one clear thing about this show that you will love.
That it is very cute and wholesome.
I won't go too deep into the plot, as I would love for you to experience the show for yourself. But let me just tell you, that you'll find this show to be charming at points, and enjoy a nice and cute relaxing watch. While also feeling your heart being tugged at certain scenes of the show. For a show to bring out so many emotions and feels to you. You know you are not only in for a ride, but it's doing something right in that direction.
Story and characters 8
Slow loop has a nice premise. You see a girl on her own, fishing away on her own, when a girl basically near her age, rushes out to jump in for a swim. The two become friends, and the girl who was fishing, teaches her new friend about fishing a little. Only to find out later, that same friend, is now her step sister! The twist!
Now we follow them both, in their own way, coming together over things. Such as Hiyori, trying her best to accept this sudden change, along with understanding and trying her best together, as she's found herself in her late father's position, of teaching another about fishing, and among other things that she and her late father used to do. While the ever loving and bubbly Koharu tries her best for her new family. It's really sweet.
I love everything that there is to know about this whole family. Koharu is super sweet and lovely. You'll love her happy energy. Hiyori is also sweet, despite deep down, there is a lot of emotions there, in which she could break down, she's so brave. While Koi? Koi is like a super best friend to Hiyori for starters. She was there for her when her dad went, and stuck with her. Even if as a kid, she didn't understand things, but she still tried her best, and I just love that. The whole family is great, and you want the best for all of them come the end of it.
Art and sound 7
The artstyle is colourful, and cute. The whole thing can remind you of Yuru camp, or any shows of that nature. Just nice, simple, easy to look at. With a cute tone that just really puts it all together. The sort of show that is fitting for this kind of genre.
The sound is very fitting for purpose, and the voice actors do an amazing job with wat they do scene by scene. Drawing out the right kinds of emotion, in order to keep this story ticking. It's truly a delight, and you can't go wrong with it.
I'd say watch Slow loop. Enjoy it. Read the Manga too. Of this sweet cute girls with fishing journey. Watch it now!
