Love this type of anime: just people living normally. Days pass, nothing changes that much. That's why some of my favorite anime are Non non biyori and Aria. Of course, I also enjoy action, mystery, comedy and romance (the only genres I avoid are music and some mecha) but sometimes you just need a show to relax and experience something you'd never do through anime.

Slice of life’s are amazing. my friends bash on them by saying nothing ever happens but’s that’s what i love about them, they cover everyday life. Will have to check it out

This anime shows my main reasons why I watch anime and I totally agree with you. I discovered the charm of ballroom dance, or badminton, running, cheerleading, motorcycle, camping and even music. Volleyball became my favorite sport after watching anime. I've never experienced so much diversity in western media. Anime teach me about Japanese culture, but sometimes they also teach me how to fish and I'm totally into it.

heh, starting a video about fishing with 'at the surface' ...I'm onto you :P

Love this anime!! It’s kinda like YURU CAMP with NON NO BIYORI vibe!! Was hoping for Season 2

FINALLY, someone who agrees with me! I was so exited for this anime because because i know nothing about the subject and it's so interesting exploring a new world i never thought about.

I have been watching animes since 2016, but never found slice of life, mainly iyashikei interesting and thought boring. However, when I went into cs major and start busy with coding stuff, popular livestream animes haven't became entertain my mind as before and never work out on my stress even tho I love programming. And then, I found Yuru Camp accidentally and after watching the whole series, I really got into iyashikei and start to think how they importantly play a role in life. From that point, i always crave for iyashikei every season although they are criminally underrated and rarely released. Thus, I always appreciate animes like Houkago Teibou Nisshi, Yokohama Kaidashi Kikō, Yuru Camp and etc.

Cute girls go fishing; a lovely find in such a difficult time, as well as Super Fishing Grander Musashi. Finding these fishing animes as an angler myself, kills 2 birds with one stone with my most favourite things in the world. Cool thing about this anime, is that it utilizes real life fishing techniques that you can use in real life (even though most is saltwater based, hence breakwater). Whether it is slice of life fishing girls or shonen bass fishing, anime never ceases to amaze me on what subjects it can cover.

As a long time fishermen and an anime hobbyist. This anime match the feel of how I caught my first fish and trying different way to catch them and other species of fish. I loved there no conflict and just fishing to enjoy life. In my opinion it is better then Grander Mushashi as a fishing anime. Grander Mushashi has too much conflict and although the main character do catch fish. You never learn anything about fishing and it hard to relate the the main character unlike on Houkago Teibou Nisshi.

Hey! I just wanted you to know that I love your channel. Your videos always give off a chill vibe and I don't feel like my mind has to go into overdrive just to keep up with the memes and editing. Thank you!

Houkago Teibou Nisshi has unironically been my favorite anime that season. Shows like this and Yuru Camp are just, the stuff that heals me. It's just SOL relaxation of life with a central theme to keep things interesting, and it's just relaxing and nice. Love this stuff.

music in this video is so good, dude

fishing is my favorite hobby for the past 6 years. i mostly watch classic anime but saw fishing on the thumbnail and always looking for good fishing scenes so I had to atleast watch 1st ep. Surprised fishing is the plot and will watch more.

The two types of anime that I love the most. Cooking and fishing

Been really enjoying this show too. Your video sums up my feelings pretty well. The show is nice, simple, and pure Doga Kobo at its comfiest. Really looking forward to its return.

LOL yeah I actually really like this show as well for exactly the same reasons. I'm a creative writing major and the idea of conflict theory is very prevalent (though we study it in terms of how we can both apply and go against it) and SoL anime like this are such a breath of fresh air in terms of not having to need traditional conflict to tell its story. In fact, like you said, there is so much other types of conflict going on and the plot is moving forward in its own way and still gives us development as we watch over these characters growing and learning about themselves and the people around them. I'm not sure I really saw much appraisal of shows like Asteroid in Love either which was one of my favorite shows of last season that I would consider in this SoL/Iyashikei/Kuuki-kei (thank you for teaching me something new today) type genre and had so much development and plot going on in the same way that I can see this show having once its not on Hiatus.

DUDE THANK YOU, your video is great, calm and it doesn't last 10 fucking minute to say nothing. Love you.

One of my best friends liked this anime a lot. He loves fishing and that love moved really well to this anime.

I mostly watch anime to relax so this is right up my alley

I see you are also a man of taste.

I'm officially obsessed with this. I've got the 6 volumes of the manga, the special and normal edition of the theme song, and the sound collection cd. Waiting for the box set of the series.

Bro I have been watching a few of your videos and the amount of thought you put into it is great. I cant believe you dont have more subs. I hope you do get more recognition for your work 🙏

I absolutely love this anime, since I have a love for these type of niche anime, and it actually resparked my love for fishing.

Pretty nice video, i've also felt this way about anime like tanaka kun, something about these anime where the characters just kinda chill really appeals to me lol

loved the video, thanks for sharing this. I'm not on the seasonal grind lately but i will check this show out for sure, iyashikei type anime is my absolute jam!

Reminds me of Nichijou. It’s seriously the only slice of life I can sit through, not only that but it’s one of my favorites in general

I might have to check this series out now. Your review captures why I rank shows like Aria and Sora no manimani among my favorites. 😌

I’ve been really wanting to watch this as I love fish and fishing 😋 Now I know I’m definitely going to watch it

I love this show as well sucks it got delayed but coming back at the end of July. Also doga kobo love that studio that made it.

Holy crap, I'm glad I found this video. When this came out, I instantly wanted to watch Houkago Teibou Nisshi (and this video of course). Maybe I wanted a fill-in while waiting for Yuru Camp S2. Maybe because I was hoping this WOULD BE another diamond in the rough. For whatever reason, I never thought I would be so happy to watch this show and that I was hype when it started up again after being delayed. I was honestly afraid it would be postponed forever, and I liked it a lot. But, I didn't really know why I liked it either, and I was hoping and waiting for someone, who was infinitely more skilled with their words than I, to analyze it to help me get a better understanding of the show. And thanks to your video, I found that. I definitely agree and even relate with your points, and now I at least have a step in the right direction as to why I like this show so much. It's the characters, their dynamic, the atmosphere, the setting, and tone. But more than that, I actually have to sit down and think about this one through. So, thanks for that :D On another note, I actually fished with my dad over the weekend for the first time because of this anime and caught myself two croakers (and, in the process, maybe lost three hooks and sinkers, cracked my phone, and embarrassingly thought I caught a big boi when in actuality I just got the line stuck on some rocks). It was actually quite a fun and interesting experience. So, hey! Yay for anime in motivating me to do something other than sitting around during quarantine! Sorry for the wall of text, but I really wanted to express my gratitude for giving this anime a much needed serious discussion and letting people know that this show exists. Anyways, I should head back to my paper before I run out of time! Good job on the video!

I enjoyed watching the anime, i can't wait for season 2.

Excellent, well-thought out review. Anime is very big in this type which even has its own genre label, Slice of Life. Aria, Haibane-Renmei, and Marimite all fit here. There are no antagonists to fight against but there is drama and struggle to achieve some goal in life which means overcoming one's own limitations. As such they are very inspirational.

Yay ive been waiting for you or under the scope to do a video on this. Ive been reading the manga for a while and the anime hype was real. I loved the episodes before the show had to be postponed

Love this anime 😍 I love it. I hope there's more to it. Also can't wait to go fishing in Japan one day

I miss your videos man. Your writing is so damn good.

Glad I'm not the only fisherman/anituber.

I’m a fisherman/outdoorsmen this show and yuru camp are some of my favorites

Great video man

One of the anime I’m watching during the spring season

Fishing, relaxing, cutes waifus *Y E S* 10/10

I love this anime because I love fishing lol. I heard about it and I knew it would be right up my alley.

That was really sweet, i'll definitely check this anime out

It's American cinema that focuses so much on struggle and etc. There's plenty of European cinema that does something akin to kuuki-kei. I always love to mention Stalker. It's literally a window in an alien world, without any serious story, just a group of humans interacting with each other and with the setting around them. An experience we've never even considered. I love it for the same reasons I love the fishing anime.

So glad that someone is talking about slice of life anime, rather then just shounen. I started anime in 2018 and my first few anime I watched was k on. I chose this one because it the animation was beautiful and the characters are funny. K on has a special place in my heart and is one of my favourite and it what got me into slice of life anime. I just finished dairy of our days at the breakwater club (anime) and I really enjoyed it. I'm curious reading the manga. 😊

I enjoyed every episode of this anime! I lowkey want to have a season 2 with fishing tournament or derby or with em 4 in a boat catching bigger fishes lol but seing them fishing and eating all day is fine by me.

I can faintly remember the first time I caught a fish totally on my own, hell I couldnt even dehook it! I remember calling out to Father across the pond. Shortly after we released it, I caught yet another!

Thank for this video, I watched the first episode twice and the second once and am enjoying the nice ocean vibes from the show.

Awh shit, he's doing it. Proud of you mah boi.

it's like I always say -- the main, series-length dramatic arc of "Sketchbook: full color's" is 'Sora stops giving cats expired food.'

Great video. I share your opinions! I ate this stuff up when I watched most of it a few weeks ago.

I too enjoy theses types of anime, a shame it has been delayed.

i wish these are 4 times longer

Slice of Life anime are great for just....letting go off stress. Its just so peaceful.

How do you always find these diamonds in the rough? So hard to find good animes since there is soooo many.

I have a deep love for iyashi.

Anime fan grows up when they realize SoL can be genuinely amazing experiences. For me Yotsubato is one of the best things in the entire medium

The thing that sucks is that because so many people diss it for being a fishing anime, it's probably not gonna get another season :( It was such a great show :D A pretty small cast but everyone felt unique and it really teaches a lot of actually useful stuff about fishing!

This reminds me of how the kishotenketsu 4-act story model differs from western story models like the hero's journey in that it can lack conflict. According to 4-act, you don't necessarily need conflict to have a compelling story, you just need a "twist", which can be very mundane.

This anime just make me wanna hop on an airplane and go to Seattle to eat seafood.

I’m actually writing something like this, just casual exchanges between characters with minor plot advancements, the ending which I’ll keep secret! Is set in a world of caves, with people searching for the exit.

Hey KZfaq! This channel is worth pushing.

Iyashikei fishing

Like most great sice of life animes, there is a great manga behind it.

If then u think like that, u are on the final chapter of anime journey

I’ve always found these sort of lighthearted & optimistic anime far more inspiring & deep than dark, depressing, 2deep4u sort of anime.

Kamimashita is why i want to make anime vids

Shitsurei kamimashita

If u still young and full of energy, go for shounen stuff. Your head are still have some rooms for conflict, conspiracy, and hardcore actions. It's understandable if u always bashing SOL animes. But here in iyashikei universe, most of us are grown ass gentlemen who already tired of heavy stuff out there & looking for refreshing stuff like this. In this phase our head have no space anymore for fictional conflicts etc.. yeah... some of us had in your shoes while still young (loving action stuff, overpowered MC, brawling, weapons, scars, etc). But in the end.. everybody evolves, needs and preference will change, everybody have their own time and will understand the beauty of "slice of life" Both Slow Loop & Houkago Teibou Nisshi, I love both.

Theres been a lot of anime for the past couple decades like this show, the focus of the minor mundane life of a profession or hobby. Going through my life, I just went down one tube while there are limitless tubes you could have gone through or never will never have through. Anime life this shows me something that I have never experienced, something I may get into, or highlight my hobby. You say they are not unique but I think kuuki-kei is largely absent in western works.

I love this anime watch it at kissanime!! Ep4 is not available yet thou

Natsumi is mai waifu.

Similar reason to why I like Yuru Camp or Non Non Biyori.

In my humble opinion the Iashikei and Slice of life genres are where anime shows its true potential as a medium

"When you're totally moved from shounen stuff (action, isekai, battle, etc) to seinen stuff like iyashikei / SoL, that means u're growing up and old" Famous otaku phrases that always proven in every generation...

Just curios have you fished before? @Kami

if you like this anime i recommend tsuritama

well, after all anime is a story that get visualization or animation, it's not good to compare anime with genre fighting / adventure with other genres, after all anime's main source is a story. if animation looks bad ( less than year 2010) but the story is amazing, people will likes it especially in Japan.

What u mean u do a video for this ? It just had 3 eps b4 delay!!! But for real Good anime sad that it's was delayed

Sadly at the moment the anime is on hiatus during to this pandemic and won’t come back til July

me look at thumbnail: i see, you watch it for loli good to see you still upload video.

Hmm tsuritama season 2 look interesting

So this is like k-on.

I wouldnt even have gotten into anime if it werent for the cartoon girls

i think this show would have sucked if the characters had some massive goal or driving force behind their actions and im glad there isn't one besides "i wanna go fishing" imagine if it was "the fishing club is gonna get shut down if i dont win the national fishing tournament" "i wanna be the greatest fisherman of all time" "i wanna catch the biggest fish ever" "if i don't fish my entire family is gonna starve" weird anime conflicts like this strip away from the soothing and calm nature of fishing which is also commonly found in cgdct shows

But we are not watching Houkago Teibou Nisshi right now so it can't be why you watch anime at the moment. ;_;

No, all anime should always be about ignorant boys wanting to be the best at something. You know, like being the king of pirates, or crying yourself when most people have super powers but you don't, or maybe even killing demons and having a sister that can't speak and is incidentally the best girl without question. And oh, of course, getting 500% stronger when their friends get hurt or they just happened to think about them during combat.

You’re wrong

As a fisherman i really liked this anime, it brought me back to when i was a kid, going fishing everyday, and it kinda reminds me of sanpei
