| Tsunehiro ended up going sap fishing with everyone. However, eager to catch a big one with his prized reel and rod, he quickly switched to lure fishing and, pretending to be a pro angler, set off solo to try his hand at a sea bass game. |
 |
| We all read it as a "chum" and nothing other than that ... Somehow this weeks episode turned into some sort of a narrated fishing documentary/advertisement, lol ... but a nice little twist. Also, i'm guessing there is much darker history behind Takaaki being a host, wonder whats that all about. |
 |
| Really like how laid backed and chilled this episode was with everyone just relaxing and enjoying fishing. |
| Decent episode. For the first half, Sasaki had regressed to his usual self, skipping off to do loner shit and be inept as always, but he eventually came back. What was missing was Hana roasting him while he's doing his fake TV interviews, though Fujishiro's narration did a pretty good job of that. Fuji's been more or less a background character so far, so this screentime for him is very welcome. I'm also looking forward to hearing more about Takaaki. No doubt something sketchy went down at the club he was a host at. Have we hit all the side characters, or does the manager also get an episode? |

| The episode had the feel of a Discovery Channel show. Fujishiro is undoubtedly the commentator of the fishing show; his face even looks like that of a fish, which is quite funny. Tsunehiro's dark era is fading away. Now he's starting to smile and enjoy life, but he should remember that it's always better to have fun in company and that it's weird to talk out loud alone. A solid episode. |

| Tsunehiro tries to whistle, while not knowing how. The writers sure made him one of the saddest, dorkiest protagonists in recent memory. In kind of an endearing way, in the last few episodes. Nice episode where they just banter and fish. Yuru Camp vibes, especially with the music. |
| I enjoyed this quite a bit more than the ones before. When it's focused on fishing and with those vibes, I feel that's when this show is at it's best. |
| We are finally getting Tsunehiro development thank God. Dude was so unbearable, now he’s showing positive growth. Very chill episode and I liked the Japanese tv show parody commentary they had going on with Tsunehiro internal monologue lol. Bro got all that expensive fishing equipment, but don’t know what to do with it 😂 hey, but like Hana and the other said, it’s a learning experience and now he can plan out how he wants to improve for the next outing. It’s nice to see him genuinely smile for once, almost enough to make you forget his illness Perhaps the craziest thing here tho is that we learnt he only makes 1050 an hour at the store holy shit that’s crazy. |

| Ahw seeing Hiro's genuine smile made me so happy! It's very heartwarming to see him become happier bit by bit. Like someone else mentioned; this episode gave me Yuru Camp vibes, very relaxing.. They're making me more and more curious about Takaaki's backstory though, hopefully we'll get to see more next week. |
| Amazing chill episode with some nicely understated and meaningful growth for MC. Earlier in the season I felt Hana was carrying the show but now I am feeling more of a balance as we have had some development for other characters and also MC becoming less insufferable. Hana still the best though, love her reactions, fishing wisdom and competitive spirit. |

| Tsunehiro not being able to catch fish via lure puts the subtext that it is not good to fish alone. Fishing in this anime has always been a group activity. |

| I could watch an entire anime that’s narrated like a fishing show, it could be half length episodes where they fish for a different fish every time and at new locations, someone get on that lol. But yeah I really liked that bit where it was just Tsunehiro by himself, making blunders and just being a goof, really relatable honestly, even as someone that has fished a lot I still make those same mistakes, but it’s all fun tho. It’s unfortunate he didn’t get his big catch, but just having something like that on the line is pretty exciting, and after seeing that fish jump near the end of the episode, I sure hope he gets his big catch before the end of the show. And oh yeah, I forgot this episode was somewhat about the little glasses gremlin Fujishiro, I like the whole walking mystery thing he has going on, he reminds me of the meme “moisturized, unbothered, staying in his lane” lol. And the reveal at the end that he’s the commentator of that fishing show was nice, I had a feeling that was the case when they were first watching it early in the episode. And I can absolutely agree with the statement that the most important thing in fishing is to have fun, whether you’re a seasoned pro or just beginning, whether you catch something or not, whether it’s a big catch that comes every once in a while or you’re catching small fry left and right, at the end of the day having fun is what matters most, I’m really loving that Tsunehiro is starting to get that, he’s like night and day from how he was in episode 1. |
| It was a good episode, especially since the last two were a bit boring. The narrator was funny, and I enjoyed Tsunehiro’s development as he learned how to fish. I think this might be the first time I’ve seen him smile. |
