Akira patent lack of friends and friend-making skills was the only sad face this episode.
Every week my desire to visit Enoshima grows

Okay, okay, that was amazing, some awesome character development there. This show handles it pretty well. Yuki having that giant smile made me smile too. Natsuki, Yuki, and Haru fit so well together, can't wait for Akira (although I slightly dislike him /shot) Yuki is my favorite of the mains, but I love the others too.

Why did I just discover this today?

This show handles character development so well. Curious to see how Yuki will grow further through his relationships with all the other characters.
Looking forward to seeing how the pieces of the Enoshima legend and aliens puzzle will fit together.

I'm loving seeing how much they've changed since the first episode. Gotta love character development. Yuki's so cute, running around yelling all the time. ^^=

Beautiful episode because of Yuki's breaking out of his shell, hopefully Akira joins in soon. Really refreshing. Though it kinda seems like a sport fishing anime to me in some ways. XD

It's such a moment of joy when Yuki overcomes his fears. This ep seems like a turning point for sure.

That seemed kind of racist when he told the Indian to take of his Turban.

As everybody has already said Yuki has shown some really nice character development.... and I no longer think Natsuki is such an ass, just a leader pushing his students in a way and its clearly worked!

The two moments that made me laugh had to be either Haru spraying his sister (she's the only character that truly annoys me, wish she hadn't been introduced) and the duck and cat squaring up xD wonder who would win Tapioca looks pretty solid, but that cat has some meat behind it xD

Great episode! I was smiling the entire time. Yuki has grown so much from the beginning to now thanks to both his friends and fishing. Having a more confident Yuki would be a nice change.

I find this anime a bit hard to watch since I have no interest in boy friendship and fishing at all. :| I don't know if I can handle finishing this series if all the episodes were as slow as these.

Haru's seiyuu oh god. :/ I'm okay with his character but the voice is really annoying.

I can't help but want a female main character in the group.
I love the character designs, some romance would be nice.

Also we never see them eating the fish they catch

Thank god, watching Yuki interact with people isn't as cringe-inducing anymore. I hope he gets even more comfortable with himself as the show progresses. I'd like to learn more about Akira too!

*sighs* Yuki, stop being a sissy lend your ear, clear your f***ing mind, and move your body, like you're instructed to

Oh so this is where the 4 will interact

First 3 episodes were really dull, I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue watching this, good thing I did

Ayumi-chan??.... the Captain guy is awesome, and for that I hope you get to be with the store girl >.< GO GO GO!!!!!

I wonder if those film like flashbacks will have a major role later on?? Well, it IS having a major role right now by helping Yuki get back on his feet and improve :)
best episode so far for me

As someone who also has anxiety like Yuki does, it makes me so happy to see him gaining confidence in himself and laughing.

YUKI ;0; Loved seeing him smile and laugh. Natsuki's changed quite a bit too, he's more relaxed and friendly. Now all that's left is for Akira to warm up too. <3

The episodes always seem to go by way too fast, just goes to show how much I'm enjoying this show.

It's such a pleasure to witness Yukis development and how he grows as a chracter with his daily life challenges.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Oh, another great episode! I love how the characters develop in each episode. Ayumi chan is a good guy indeed! And I like how Natsuki believes in Yuki and for Yuki not giving up. I hope they could be friends with Akira.

I like all the Japanese wordplay in the voice acting. Many words rhyme with the names (Yuki, Tapioca, etc). It's funny to hear.

Also noticed that the beginning of each episode's ED shows a different fish. In this case it was the one they were trying to catch on the boat.

A young introverted man opening himself up emotionally and socially thanks to the sport of fishing. As someone who can related to Yuki, it's a joy to see him slowly develop.

Mooorreee character development, especially for Yuki. It's also nice to see how much Natsuki has changed since the beginning. It'll be nice to more about Akira.
