A large typhoon arrived, leaving Tsunehiro and the others with plenty of free time, so they relaxed in the shop, practicing FG knots and such.

Suddenly, the debt collectors who had been after Tsunehiro before showed up, throwing him into a panic.

I also have heard that in the extreme conditions it is actually the best time to do fishing, but as it was pointed out already, its also much more dangerous. Also, everyone spent the time just messing around, getting drunk ... while our Sasaki was the one still working, lol .. but hey, he didn't run this time, our boy has grown.

Now, quite a chill episode right ... but i wonder when will this happy atmosphere be brought down by Sasaki's real situation, his medical condition is still out in the air, and we have not heard about it much still.

At least this anime knows that the best way to teach the audience not to fishing while raining is to make a raining episode without fishing, not even going outside.

Today's episode tells us what happens when the characters can't go fishing. Turns out they just sit around and get wasted. Gotta love typhoons. The return of the debt collectors was unexpected, but surprisingly pleasant. Don't you dare go back to borrowing money from them, Sasaki.

A calm and enjoyable episode despite the bad weather, with everyone spending their money on their own work. Even the debt collectors joined in on the fun, and their boss dressed up as Tanya was an unexpected but funny moment. Who would have thought that weathering a typhoon could turn into such a pleasant and entertaining time?

I'm just waiting for them to find out he's dying, although I wouldn't put it past the writers to pull the bs miraculous recovery card

This episode was very chill and satisfying. I didn't know that it was good fishing in bad weather and I am going to ignore the shows advise and try it sometime :D

A relatively dull episode with the cast fooling around in the kombini due to the typhoon. Tsunehiro's loan sharks came and enjoyed a certain fish.

Not the usual episode.

Does the OP lowkey sound like myth and roid to anyone else?

Very chill episode with everyone just chilling and riding out the storm. But while it may seem like a nothing burger it was actually a really cool ep because we got to see Tsunehiro fully integrated into the group and realising how happy he is for the first time in his life. He has a place he belongs and a reason to live. With the last few eps coming up, this is a big turning point. Hopefully we get some sort of asspull with his diagnosis 😭

Unironically wholesome loansharks. I mean even in the beginning, they weren't particularly hostile, they were trying to understand Tsunehiro and was politely trying to collect his debt, but he ran away.

Loved the episode, they just stayed in the convenience store the whole episode and it was really fun. This really felt like a calm before the storm though, though there was a literal storm in the show lmao.

We're definitely gonna go back to Tsunehiro's illness soon, which I think at this point, even Tsunehiro himself forgot about lmao, he's just enjoying his life right now and I love that for him. Plus there's still Takaaki's backstory. They might connect the two actually, maybe we'll get Takaaki's backstory, then that will lead to Tsunehiro revealing his illness.

Despite there being no fishing in this one, it was probably among the most chill episodes of the show, I really enjoyed watching the gang huddle around a hot pot during a typhoon, as well as Tsunehiro trying to figure out that knot. The most unexpected thing was the debt collectors showing up, but they actually turned out to be wholesome and even brought ingredients that made for an amazing looking hot pot, I’ve never had angler fish before and now I want to lol.

And Tsunehiro was showing his development this episode when he didn’t run from the debt collectors and even befriended them in the end, as well as when he explained how he’s come to find fishing satisfying, I love to see that bro is enjoying fishing and life now. Only thing is, we got three episodes left and it’s been a while since we’ve heard about his illness, it’s probably coming up soon and it’s gonna hurt when it does lol, I got a feeling things aren’t quite as grim as they seem but there will definitely be some hurt to go through first. For now tho, we got this awesomely chill episode to enjoy, I could honestly watch this group hang for hours, I love SoL shows man lol.

@TheColonel76 Yeah, it's not like they could sneak outside & go fishing. I'm sure there would be 15 foot waves, that would end that right ther. But you still here aout idiots trying stuff like that in hurricanes/typhoons. Usually surfers though. LOL

Cozy episode. Somehow I missed how the loansharks became all friendly. Did he negotiate a payment plan out of his tiny salary?

@sarybelle Yes, he did. He covered the debt with the loan sharks and let Hiro pay it off in his own time and with 0% interest. Good friend.

And the plot finally said "goodybe" :/

What a meaningless episode. THey're really gonna reveal the hero's health condition in the second to last episode and call it a wrap, huh?
If you haven't watched "Fantastic Children", don't talk about "best anime". Thank you.

The typhoon seemed like the perfect opportunity to have somewhat of a focus on Arua, the (I think) only character left to have their own episode. While Hiro was practicing a knot and reminiscing about his time with fishing the rest of the crew were hanging out and getting drunk. I certainly didn't expect the money lender crew to come to the store let alone with those ingredients. Also, with that dinner it seemed like the perfect opportunity to get a glimpse and that lady's face but no can do.

3 more episodes to go.

A heavy typhoon threatens the fishing livelihood, though Hana wants to go by hook or by crook, which thankfully Takaaki has to stop her before committing the act.

In the heavy weather, it's insane to try and go out, so everyone is stuck indoors. And what can you do other than to buy ingredients from the store itself and make meals out of it, which is what Arua and the others did to experiment their choices...for hot pot, all while Tsunehiro learns how to tie a FG knot. And the inevitable happens when the debt collectors come into Everymart, seemingly disheveled from the rain.

The surprise that the debt collectors have more ingredients than everyone could've imagined, and everyone is able to eat some fine angler fish hot pot. For once, everyone is in a celebratory mood for good change, and this is significant as a turning point for Tsunehiro's life changing for the better, with the debt collectors finally understanding his plight and giving him a chance too.

Quite the chill episode that's all honestly, great.
