Houkago Teibou Nisshi

SOL is my favorite genre. And most of all I love comfy ones that I can watch when I am in any mood. Something to relax to after a long day. An escape with wholesome content is what I love most. This anime surprised me, I mean I have always loved fishing but I felt myself wanting to go after each episode. This show had everything I look for in a good SOL, quirky characters that are easy to relate to, soothing sights and sounds, good comedy and a great wholesome vibe. I loved it, and I hope for anotther season

I will give a brief review for those who dont like to read long reviews. Story: basically Yuru Camp but instead of camping its angling. Art: simple animation not Demon Slayer ufotable high level but also not Usagi drop low level. Fishes are draw beautifully and captures the real thing. Sound: its good. Character: average character development. quirks and traits are nicely shown in various scenes. If you have watched Eyeshield 21 it would be Hina=Sena, Natsumi=Monta, Oono=Kurita and Kuroiwa=Hiruma Enjoyment: if you like angling, interested to try angling, just wanna see a group of girls do angling, want to watch a relaxing anime in a beach setting after watching a fast-paced shounen or whatever then this is for you.

Solid gentle episodic cute-girls-doing-cute-things slice-of-life anime revolving around fishing as a club activity. It gives a gentle but well-covered overview of fishing: people would expect to learn about hooks, fishing rods, baits, and what kind of fish they're best suited to catching; however it also covers preparing the fish, appropriate equipment/gear/clothing as well as acknowledging that there are people that might not be keen to touch creepy-crawlies, or are scared of swimming. Also mentioned are fishing regulations and rules-of-thumb for fishing (e.g. only keep fish that are large enough, throw back the smaller ones). How I recommend watching this anime: 1-2 episodes per viewing session. This is more an episodic anime where there's a different story per episode and you want to sit down, get comfortable, and enjoy a straightforward wholesome anime with a varied cast of relatively unique and quirky characters.

This is a typical slice of life and CDGCT anime. Similar to other hobby-based slice of life anime, this one uses a similar formula: introduce X different things in that hobby. In sports anime, it could be X different techniques to hit a ball. In this anime, it’s catching X different types of fish using X different methods/hooks/fishing rods/etc. Story (6) & Character (6): There is no story. Every episode is basically fishing a different type of fish with some banter between the characters to keep things interesting. It does work and manages to keep my attention for 24 mins. Each character’s charm and personality shines throughout the series and works well; the character interactions don’t feel awkward or forced. As per anime of this genre, there’s usually no character development because the series is focused on introducing different types of fish to catch using different equipment. Art (7): It’s a typical modern day Doga Kobo art style. It’s nice looking and decent. Nothing revolutionary. Sound (8): The music composed for this anime is a great fit; relaxing, seaside-ish themed OP, ED, and OST. Enjoyment (7): It’s a fun, relaxing 24 minutes to watch. For people who likes hobby-based slice of life/CGDCT, this one is a great watch.

as a fisherman I absolutely enjoyed this anime, it fondly reminded me of teaching others how to fish and the trial and tribulations of the sport. It is definitely one of those animes you will either love or hate, it was one of those "I will watch it and pay attention, but its not a must watch". If it gets another season it will be interesting to see where it goes, tome the story should have been made into a shorter small series with a hard ending. The technical aspects of the anime: music, animation and overall flow are decent but nothing super special.

Recreational fishing with cute girls. But pretty much Stardew Valley. Did that spark your interest? If so that might just be enough for you to start watching this show. As that is the whole premise of Houkago Teibou Nisshi - to start, you just need a little bit of curiosity. And that's exactly what happened to our cute female protagonist, Hina Tsurugi, when she was forced to join her school's recreational fishing group, the Breakwater Club. At first, Hina was hesitant. But after struggling and finally being able to catch a fish herself, she grew fond of it! The way the show is presented is wholesome. No complicated plot. Characters are all distinct and likeable. Music, story pacing and art style are simple. But combined together you feel relaxed. It's like casually staring at the blue sky waiting for a fish to bite. When it does, you feel satisfied. Everything builds up on those moments. Not overbearing and simply enough. And I love every minute of it. I watched this show everyday after work. There were hard days and seemingly no break from life. But when I watch Houkagou Teibou Nisshi, I rest. At the end of each episode, I catch myself smiling inside. I do hope I peaked your curiosity. If when you see the show's poster and am curious to see what's up with this show, don't hesitate. Watch it! If you are like me, who some times needs to lay it low for a while and take a break from your daily Shounen anime, this is definitely for you!

I highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a light, friendly and heart-warming slice of life. Personally I found it particular because of the type of story that follows, centered on a fishing club. The designs are very beautiful and the characters well done, very easy to get attached to them. The music is nice, but nothing exceptional; same thing the opening. Very useful as it also gives you some basic knowledge about fishing. To see calmly and enjoy it. As I said at the beginning it is a simple but well done anime, which warms your heart, so much so that once it was finished my heart cried.

I really liked this anime, even if it was short. The art style is cute and I can relate to some of the characters. In my opinion this anime is underrated, it deserve more love but I understand that just concept of just some random 4 girls fishing isn't something special or interesting to everyone. I agree that this anime isn't something super special like Demon slayer, Frieren or some others popular cool animes but it sure is relaxing in some way and comforting. Watching this anime, I remembered the times when I was younger and went fishing with my uncle in the summer.

another Slice of life that is worth the watch I have zero clue when it comes to Japanese fish nor fishing at all but this really open my mind on the how's and what's of fishing. I don't know if there is really a fishing club in Japanese schools but it sure is cool if there was one. \ If you ever want to start a new hobby this is the perfect anime for you it teaches a lot about fishing, how to lure the fishes, the baits knots and many more, just wish that you live by the sea or something In terms of character the story revolves around a certain number of characters and all of them have their time in each episode, most of the time in specific episodes. the art is really good, the hardest thing in thins anime is drawing the fish and they really hit the homerun Highly Recommended
