----------------------------------------
Haru is crying it's his fault because of the bombing. Fortunately, he's safe and got few of the fishing equipments. Prince of Fishing as the leader of the group. Haru begins to say it's the final fishing with everyone because he's going home after fishing that legend fish. Though everyone got caught. Akira's fighting against the head to the extend that he's prepared to be out of duck team. Fortunately they finally got to the ship because of him.

They are cooperating so that hopefully they can get that fish successfully.

Then people got excavated for typhoon. Some of them are staying, but got refused.

They found the legendary fish. It's hard to get it, and Yuki insists on him do the fishing. He remembers Haru's preference of the end to be red. News is reporting about 4 of them in danger. Everyone saying gambare to them from the TV Head up giving Akira time limit, which he cannot accept and he went out to help out.

Haru still got controlled, and that affected some people including the duck people.

Airing 5 mins. late next ep. for final ep.!!

Okay, okay. Ayumi is not dead. I gotta say I teared up a bit when he hugged Haru.

I began to doubt they would catch JFX around the 16 minute mark. Haru, HARU! DON'T YOU DARE.

That fishing scene was really intense! I really like how Yuki's memory rolls are actually important. I feel like I should have listened to every little detail, especially about Haru. Tapioca was being amazing again. So was everyone. The animation, I think, seemed a bit more spectacular than usual, though maybe because this is my first time watching it in 1080p. I'm wondering how they'll end this, this is going to be the worst wait ever.

I was sure there was only 11 episodes! :O

I get a feeling that the alien/dragon is a stupid character.

Yeah, if Haru and Coco are anything to go by the 'dragon' is probably another silly kid, most likely even more foolish than Haru.

I could've sworn there were 11 episodes. Guess that didn't fit what they wanted.

Oh God, if that's what happens, many facepalms will initiate. Why do I find this theory so believable..

damn, i really thought they were gonna pull through and catch the big fish-dragon thing, especially when yamada jumped into the fray to help....

i don't want haru to sacrifice himself ;_;

really hope those 4 can catch the alien TOGETHER, and that they can all fish together after

Ayumi is alive, that was close.

The sound and the animation of the fishing scene were pretty awesome.

At first I thought they got the dragon and it looked like a small fish but then it turned out to be the lure, I got trolled there haha

Haru can't sacrifice himself, just a big fucking no, you've got still the head of the lure, come on.

Was it just for the dramatic cliffhanger or did they forget to include Natsuki and Akira in that last shot?

TT.TT Ayumi's alright!!!
Akira showed some badass moves against the Ducks.And i replayed that 3 times till I was satisfied :D
But that aside, for only 11 eps that I was expecting, this cliffhanger was uncalled for. I'm glad that there will be a 12th one but I can't wait another week for it!! I want it now!!! -.-""

Ey... That was dramatic...
The episode started off so cheesy, but then again they all ARE close to the end of their world. Now I didn't expect ep 12! But I'm glad they're stretching it out. The time is needed, otherwise it would have been too easy. The half-lure gone was good. :)
But Haru.. hmm.. him serious is... freaky. lol. Even though I'd wish his always-fun-behaviour would tone down, but it's like he's suddenly dying. :(

Though I'm surprised that the Duck leader didn't get brainwashed even after Yamada dropped him in the infected water with his hood off!
I'm totally lovin his lipstick though. :)))))
And damn! Yamada finally shows his skills!! The bit in an earlier episode was ridiculous where he says "Yoga!" at the end. RIDICULOUS! THIS was THE JUICE! Animation was special here. =D
And I totally want Tapioca!!! SO GODDAMN CUTE!! Starting that engine, haha!! aww!!


Then again, consistency has been an issue with this series for me. Regarding expressions and character developments. Seemed a little hasty. Yuki's was good, but the others seemed too concede to conveniently. Maybe a change in tone would've helped? I'm still reserved on the rating..


Anyhow, reeling in for the next!! :P Pun intended.

Wha.....what the fuck

Every episode of this was a chore for me to watch in the first half, but this and the past few episodes have been fantastic. Huh. I might have to give this a rewatch someday, maybe the first half was just misunderstood by me. Damn.

I also never liked any of the characters but now I like all of them

I thought they'll catch the fish after all the build-up but it was just false alarm. That was a wonderful episode, my eyes were glued to the screen. Maybe they'll use Yuki as a lure next week since he's red.

Using Yuki as a lure?! What didn't I think of that? xD

The few episodes were really dramatic and epic, which is really a big change from its usual lighthearted tone. I'm really glad I followed through with this series.

This episode was really good ahhh to be honest I wasn't expecting much from this series but it's proven me wrong.

I'm glad this wasn't the last episode but at the same time I can't wait to see how this all wraps up.

Same here.
Maybe it's because of his red hair?

When I first started to watch it, I thought it was ridiculous. The animation seemed weird and kind of ugly, but now I'm really captivated. I can't wait for the final ep.

Anyway, this is definitely the anime of the season.

Yamada had some kick-ass moves there.

This episode was so intense and fantastic. I was hoping to actually see what was underneath the baitball but I guess that will have to wait for the finale! It was devastating when the lure broke as we got to see Haru doing what he thinks needs to be done much to his hesitation.

It has been over a year since I saw episodes 9 and 10, and over a year and half since I saw the first 8 episodes, so I came into this basically remembering nothing.

Kind of sucked that after all the build up and friendship and stuff the lure broke.
