It's kinda sad that best character from the show is a duck.
I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls.

This is hilarious. I don't find Haru as annoying anymore...still a little but whatever. And Yuki's freaking FACE...cracks me up every time. Also, I want to be a member of the duck organizition. Hahaha.

i love love love this anime with 100000% passion!!! OMG OMG OMG
I dont know if im just overly too emotional, but i can't help but getting teary eyes watching this episode, i don't know why but this episode felt so emotional to me... :'(
The scene when Yuki finally can land the cast in the basket is so touching and beautiful!!! I can exactly feel their excitement.. I hope Akira won't destroy every relationship progress that those three have made these far..

and i find Coco getting more and more likable, for an alien, she's the most rational one, and i love her hair!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

kyaaa i get a strong feeling this is going to be one of my favorite anime of all time along with "Mawaru Penguindrum", "KAIBA", and "Katanagatari"..

Welp, seems like this will keep me hooked for the rest of the season.
The highlighting of Keito's health concerns were inevitable from last episode, and in this one seems to foreshadow a further decline, what with her entrusting Yuki to Haru and the talk about death. Still, I like how humanely they handled it, although Haru's 'alien' was pretty strong this time around and not so keenly timed.
Looking forward to the alien-shenanigans comin' up next week.

You mean pretty damn awesome; that duck has got some maxed out next level swag, wouldn't do it justice to compare it to the rest.

Tsuritama is just a light-hearted show. I just can't imagine them dropping a drama-bomb, like Yuki's grandmother dying, this early in the series. Hmm, this is going to be interesting...

EDIT: Just rewatched the final scene of the episode. Somehow, it remained in my head last night. I kept on thinking about it. Everything about that scene was just perfect: Natsuki's scream, the ED song and Yuki's narration foreshadowing the events to come (Hopefully, something won't happen to his grandmother).

I had this wide smile on my face all along while watching this episode 'cause I couldn't stop smiling for some reason. Is it just me or did somebody else laugh at this particular scene?



And man, what's up with Yamada? O.o He seems to be from some anti-alien gang, LOL.

Who say's fishing can't be epic. Nice wink to Gainax there at the end. I could've almost sworn i was watching TTGL for a second during that final cast.

I hope Yuki's Gran pulls through i really like her free spirited attitude.

Eno-Shima-Don!

There's just something very special about this show, and I'm not sure what just yet. If something can keep me smiling for 24 minutes then it's doing something right in my book. I'm just hoping that this alien business and the missions surrounding that subplot don't get to serious and heavy. It already looks like Yuki's chic grandma is going to be providing enough drama as it is.

I think we've all been mind conditioned to get enoshima bowls...

That looks REALLY good. I wonder if I can buy it at a sushi place...?

This episode was really good, I'm a tad bit glad it's getting over the random stuff, though I wasn't too annoyed by it, I wouldn't mind if it went on for a while.

DUCK!!! Tapioca's so cute . oh look we have a drag queen for the anti-hero,

this is getting WEIRDER by the minute. A WHOLE LOT SERIOUS TOO
uh oh looks like I'm right because i wanted to say this in the ep2 discussion, Haru's promise to the grandma might have something to do with Yuki not being lonely. :(

CONFIRMED all Harus can not live with out water

Natsuki looked like he was glitching into a smile, fishing must be a memory from his mom. The scene was so precious :)

A very interesting episode

Lovely episode, quite nice how the character development takes place, I still wonder what that indian looking dude with that duck and their organisation actually wants from them, they look like an alien patrol or something so well I wonder what their part will be!

More watchable than the first two episodes. At least a plot is developing that might be interesting. Haru is still as annoying as f*** though.

There's also a lot of strange stuff going on, which made me quite curious.

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

After this episode, I thought that I'm really glad to start watching this series because this is getting better. I got so worried with Keito and I hope she will be okay! And seeing Natsuki smile made me happy.

I almost died when Akira said his name instead of Tapioca's xD

So Yuki knew about his grandma's illness after all. She just didn't want to bother him too early. Oh, and I like her way of speaking

Nice wordplay when the girl was disappointed about the curry shop

Haru = object JF1, and his sister = object JF2? Jellyfish? His sister's "form" looks like that! And telepathy skills confirmed! He also needs water to survive (probably not in the same sense as humans, just for drinking).

Yuki's grandma: goes to hospital
Haru: "don't worry, everybody'll die eventually!"
Talk about being insensitive

The goddess mentioned in the class:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzaiten

Yuki and Haru are bad at cooking so they eat pizza and drink cola

Enoshima temple is a "wonder"

Interesting how the absence of the fish in the fishbowl was immediately followed by a scene involving Coco!

Never thought that watching someone cast a line could be so satisfying! By the way, Haru wasn't afraid of Akira this time

Natsuki was so happy that he managed to teach Yuki something that he started screaming haha

So Tapioca is a duck who belongs to a guy who belongs to a secret organisation which for some reason looks like its based in Dubai (I thought I saw the Burj Khalifa in the background).

Also, Akira is voiced by my favourite VA. Took me a while to recognize it.
