Kozue stayed true to her colors, she after all is a high school girl ... fantasies running wild, lol.

Anyway, this was a really nice episode, our Tsunehiro finally realized something very important, and even met a legendary fisherman guy God on his "quest" to find Takaaki, lol ... But next week is the finale, i wonder how all this will end.

We're here in the aftermath of the worst character chasing off the best character. Going through the memories of Takaaki's brother got me thinking, what if MC's cancer had been a big reveal like Takaaki's brother's death, instead of being the very first thing we know about him? Would I be more sympathetic towards him? Who knows. This dipshit finally went back to the hospital at least, so good for him. His brain scan is the same as in Episode 1, so I assume he was not misdiagnosed.

Ice carried this episode. The way she can shapeshift at will between sexy model and fishing goblin is just too strong for this series. Hana also possesses this power to some extent.

Looks like our finale will be the reunion between Sasaki and Takaaki. Hopefully, the laws of fiction will prevent MC from running away yet again.

Kosue is the typical girl interested in gossiping and ultimately twisting stories. I don't blame her though; without enough information, Takaaki and Tsunehiro's argument seemed related to an affair, either over a girl or possibly BL.

Eventually, Tsunehiro managed to deal with things on his own, perhaps driven by the need to reconcile and apologize to Takaaki. In the end, he decided to go to the hospital. It seems that his diagnosis will not change, so the ending may be sad, but also very satisfying because of the relaxing moments.

Truly not the direction I thought this show would go, but I'm all for it because the drama is really well implemented and feels rather down to earth

Why Tsunehiro has to be the one to apologize to Takaaki, it should be the other way around!

This was the perfect follow up episode after how things went last week with Takaaki and Tsunehiro. I appreciate Tsunehiro realising he didn’t handle things correctly and could’ve been more open to Takaaki’s advice.

It’s funny, at the start of this show I thought this would be a Tsunehiro and Hana story, but his brotherly friendship with Takaaki has been the core of the story which is pretty refreshing. It’s nice to see male bonds as the foundation of an anime for once.

Love the analogy about Takaaki saving Tsunehiro at the start of the season from the water. That really set the tone for their relationship and for what he’s ultimately been trying to do with Tsunehiro’s depression and health condition as well. No one’s tried harder to get Tsunehiro out of that water than Takaaki.

Really cool seeing Tsunehiro prepare for the biggest catch of his life and learning all the scientific analysis and prep that goes along with fishing. He came into this season not knowing anything about the basics of fishing and will go out a master

Next episode is gonna be rough, they have a lot of stuff to wrap up with Tsunehiro’s health, his relationship with Takaaki and the others and of course the fishing. Hopefully he gets some good news with the diagnosis

The guitar score works wonders in this episode. It reminded me a little of Yuru camp.

It was a nice episode, however, with one more episode after this one, it felt like a wasted episode to me.

After that big blow up and reveal there wasn't really a follow up to that. I thought we would get more insight in Takaaki's past with his brother and why he ran away. We did get a little flash back but that's it. It was kind of a let down to me.

I'm glad that Tsunehiro finally went back to the hospital and next week we will see the results of that.

I liked the episode but I wished we got more out of it. We spent some wasted time with Tsunehiro perfecting how to fish where I felt like the episode could have focused on something else. He did say that he was going to look for Takaaki but then the fishing montage threw me off because how is this looking for him?

Overall it was a nice episode but I felt like the focus was lost and now I fear that the last episode will feel rushed. I hope we have a satisfying end next week.

Only one person admitting their in the wrong? Oh well, I guess it's Japan after all. Oh, wait he hasn't even come back yet. I guess we'll have to wait on that score.

Well that was quite the tone shift form how the last episode ended and I certainly didn't expect that. It seems that the rest of the cast aren't really gonna know what really happened between Hiro and Takaaki but even so they can tell things are not the same. Hiro takes Hana's advice about fishing and starting training and really getting into it to the point that he's now mentally prepared to get another diagnose, one that would probably tell him that he's not about to die. In any case, they are meeting by the end for a talk and the finale.

This isn't ending how I expected and I'm glad that's the case.

The episode ended with the imagery of a bridge separating Takaaki and Tsunehiro. They better resolve their misunderstanding next episode.

Also, it's not clear what's the diagnosis is, but the background musick still makes it feel sad.

Well would you look at that, I said last week that fishing would bring Tsunehiro and Takaaki together, and that’s exactly what happened, well almost lol, they found each other at least, the final episode will be when we actually see the power of fishing, believe in fishing everybody! And this is largely thanks to Hana, Tsunehiro couldn’t quite stay focused on fishing at first but she “reeled” him back in and made him see that it is the perfect catalyst to find Takaaki, and from here our boy did the math and the science to get the perfect catch he’s been waiting for, damn inspiring stuff I must say, makes me want to go outside and cast a line rn and it’s cold af outside lol.

And along with that Tsunehiro finally went back to the hospital, the same 2.6 rated hospital lol, but let’s hope this time he gets better news, I don’t see this show ending on a bad note so I’m feeling good about it, the real challenge will be making up with Takaaki tho. I also want to mention the ost use in this episode, that right there is the good shit, perfectly fit all the fishing scenes as well as the emotional ones. And next week this one is ending huh, it really has been a fantastic fishing anime, there really isn’t enough of them so I’m really gonna miss it when it’s over.

I didn't think much of the hospital rating the other episode just because online ratings in japan are usually rough in average compared to western countries afaik, so it was just a "normal" rating maybe. I'm glad since one of the best features of the show is how down to earth it seems and actually great at shifting between the laid back and serious tone. It's been handling the diagnose part rather well and seriously enough and it would be pretty dumb to have a "lol wrong diagnose after all" moment.

As much love there is between Takaaki and his ailing brother, it's the same prejudice when it comes to family.

Machida returns to Everymart in full recovery, though things between Tsunehiro and Takaaki have escalated to a point where Kozue is very interested in the matter between both guys, and it becomes the talking point of rumour amongst the group. This creates more infuriation towards Hana taking Tsunehiro out to fishing, and she's quite the perceptive character amongst everyone.

Hana not being so uptight about Takaaki's circumstances, she need not question his every motive but let him live out his moments. And just like fishing itself, it provides a clear direction that Tsunehiro needs to thank Takaaki instead for saving his life, bringing into question and testing what he learnt throughout his journey of redemption, thus improving and pefecting his fishing techniques every step of the way, culminating in the hospital appointment that he has been holding back for the longest time, to book it once and for all. And once again, Kozue still fantasizes about the drama between Tsunehiro and Takaaki, but at least the diagnosis this time is better than he imagined, and the finality to face Takaaki after trying to find him for days on end, hopefully this will all be resolved in an amicable manner.

The NegaPosi in this one, it's the determining factor between both guys now.

Hmm, they didn't spoil the diagnosis with facial expression. It can be both, he's terminally ill or not. Again, I think the diagnosis was wrong. The hospital has 2.6 starts out of 5 lol. Shady, untrustworthy place it seems. Won't be surprising if they made a mistake.

Lol things getting blown up out of proportion with the girls gossip. Tsunehiro started taking things seriously and also did the check. Things doesn't look good though. We didn't get to know the results but don't think any happy news. And the two meet again.
