Wow that was such a good anime. I gave this a go because fishing has literally never been done before in an anime, and I thought I'd get a simple introspective of the hobby with some zany characters thrown in...however I got that and also a genuine tale of friendship, regret, and finding the meaning of life....

I do think it needed one more episode in the oven when it comes to Tsunehiro and his sickness. I would have loved like a flashback montage of his life, and also the resolution of his sickness/disease. However despite that, it was a great watch. Unfortunately it won't get the recognition it deserves and will be watched only by a few, but I'm glad I was a part of that minority. I'm both happy and somewhat sad about this fact. Sad, that mainstream audiences continue to only consume what's mega popular such as Dandandan because of trends and will not witness such a great story like Angler presents. However I'm happy because at the same time, those types of people can almost never appreciate the more down to earth and more true to the core stories. Tho, the few that do value it, are the ones that I'm proud to call my fellow anime fans, and I'm happy that small dedicated following can see the beauty of stories like this

A hidden gem for sure ! 8/10

My 302nd completed series chronologically.

For the record, I extended it a 6/10 rating.

I liked it, but at the same time, it felt like they just threw away the whole "MC is sick and will die in 2 years" premise.. I thought it'd be interesting how all the character dynamics + drama / suspense work with that in mind and they brought NOTHING 😭 6/10 for me, just a generic slice of life that'll be forgettable

8/10 😭😭😭 I can't imagine how hard Takaaki feel carrying that guilt for his brother's death....glad Tsunehiro make up with him in the end..a happy bittersweet ending~ the trauma flashbacks at the ending but it's relatable irl...life is cruel indeed 💔

I'll admit, I keep watching because I want to find out if mc will die in the end like he suppose to, but I am actually glad he's still alive after two years.

Overall, I still enjoyed this anime, because I normally never watch anything related to fishing before.

all in all i loved the characters and character interactions a lot

hoped for more drama / hospital or what the heck was wrong with him in the first place explanations

but yeah know i know how lure fishing works, at least the gist of it :D. Since i don't go fishing i applied similar baiting logics on my cat and it works. So it must work on fishes too. Lol random side comment you can ignore. Nice edutainment series.
