Hi! Good day, people. How is life? It has become harsher in recent times as I'm holding more and more responsibilities. Anyway, I hope that my increasingly burdensome life will be something that I can handle.
SPOILER ALERT! This post is very likely to contain spoilers for this anime. So...if you are planning to watch the anime without any spoilers, you can either continue to read this post or move on and watch the anime.
P.S. If you want to be spoiled, well, go ahead and read it. You HAD been warned. Don't blame me for being spoiled if you INSIST on continuing to read this post.
Introduction
Slow Loop the anime
Slow Loop (in Japanese, スローループ)...this anime is adapted from a manga of the same name by Maiko Uchino. It is serialized in Houbunsha's seinen manga magazine, Manga Time Kirara Forward since September 2018. The anime television series adaptation is done by Connect and was aired from January to March 2022. There's nothing much I could say. Moving on...
The manga cover...
Plot
Hiyori chilling out...
Hiyori meeting Koharu
The story starts off with a girl name Minagi Hiyori who loves fishing. While she was fishing, she met a girl named Minagi Koharu who went over to jump into the sea in a school swimsuit. Hiyori stopped her by using her fishing rod. That's how they get to know each other. What a weird way to get to know each other for the first time.
Ah...hi, I guess?
Later, they found out their single parents got married to each other and they become siblings. Oh...that reminds me of a certain anime that I couldn't bear to watch...AHEM! Anyway, it turns out that Hiyori doesn't have a father as he died three years prior to the events of the series. Why did he die? Well, not mentioned at all other than it is hinted that he stayed in the hospital. As for Koharu, her biological mother and brother died in an accident when she was young. Sad.
Ah. Koi snapped.
This fella...
AHEM! Anyway, Hiyori's mother got married to Koharu's father, making Hiyori and Koharu stepsiblings. From then onwards, the story surrounding the two girls, Hiyori and Koharu and their fishing journey begin! Before we go, I need to talk about an interesting female character, Koi. Her father almost names her after the koi fish (鯉) but her mother changed it to the kanji which means love (恋). She is Hiyori's childhood friend. Koi's father runs a fishing supplies store and has a really serious obsession with fishing until the point where he only arrives at the hospital after Koi's birth. What the fuck...AHEM! Time to move on.
That's so sweet...
Anime Rating
Story (Rating: 9/10)
The story is pretty chill and mostly focused on Hiyori and Koharu's relationship and fishing. Cute, really cute. The story pacing and flow are really good for a nice, slow and cute anime.
That moment...
Art and Animation (Rating: 8/10)
The characters and their expression are pretty well-drawn and consistent. The art of the anime is really good too. Nothing much to complain about, really.
Great scene...
Sound and Music (Rating: 9/10)
Nice, chill and cute theme songs and also good background music. What more could I say? Good stuff.
The opening sequence
Characters (Rating: 10/10)
Cute girls? OH YEAH!!!!!!! AHEM! Also, the background of the characters is not too heavy for a "cute girls doing cute things" anime. The growth of the relationship between Hiyori and Koharu is really nice to watch but the rekindling of Koi and Hiyori's relationship journey is also nice to watch as they break the ice regarding the past about Hiyori's dad passing. It is pretty unique, I think. There are also other different relationships in the anime but not prominent as the relationship of the three main characters, Koi, Koharu and Hiyori.
Sweet times together...
Enjoyment (Rating: 10/10)
Nice, cute and really soothing. What more could I ask about this anime? Nothing more. I like it.
The girls enjoying their time together...
Overall Rating: 9.2 (9)/10

Conclusion
Oh, you are here? Nice! It's nice to have the drive to write up the blog post that I had planned a long while ago. I will try to keep up with it, if possible. Anyway, I hope that you enjoy reading and browsing this blog. Goodbye, and God bless you!
Hello, once again readers! I'm glad that you are going read through this post. I had done a review about the two of the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha series , Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha and Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's. Well, I going to review another one more, which is Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS. Girls wearing swimsuits! Enjoy! You might be asking, "Why only Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS?" Well, I answer that later on this post. Let's move on, shall we? WARNING:- SPOILER ALERT!!! If you haven't watched it and plan to watch it without anyone being the spoiler, please DON'T CONTINUE READING!!! P.S. If you want to be spoiled, well, go ahead and read it. You have been warned.
Hi~! How are you? I have finally published that blog post on BokuYaba . It took me quite a while because I'm either too distracted by my games or too busy with work, or just too lazy to complete it after being tired from work. Oof indeed. But, anyway, I did it! That is what matters, ain't it? Love Live once again!!! Anyway, this time, I feel like talking about a song from the Love Live franchise. Well, it's not from the anime, but it went viral after the Love Live Asia Tour in Yokohama on February 1 & 2, 2025. To be honest, I only noticed around last month when a friend of mine kept having the Discord activity of him listening to the song. I will talk about the details a bit later. Without further ado, let's go! Disclaimer:- Although the song that I'm talking about is a song is not from Love Live anime, there will probably be certain elements of the Love Live anime because of the nature of the Love Live Project being a 2.5D multimedia project. So, there mi...
Hi. How has your life been in recent times? I'm a bit on edge after taking so long to publish that post on that Shigure Ui song . She already has another song featuring her loli self and her "teen" self in a "fight" with each other. We can talk about it if I want to and if I feel like it. It might or might not happen. Nod Krai... Anyway, the song I'm gonna talk about here is really unique, since it is related to a game I have been playing for years, Genshin Impact. This song is related to the archon quest in Nod Krai. I was so looking forward to the Nod Krai archon quest (before the release of the 1st Nod Krai weekly boss). I really love the song that Columbina sing so I went and did some research on it. The name is Lullaby of the New Moon (I): Somnias a Luna. Since I have gone through that archon quest, I will discuss it here. WARNING:- This song is strongly tied to...
Welcome back, everyone! How is life, eh? For me, it has been a steady life since my blog post about the opening theme song of BokuYaba season 2, 「僕は…」 . I will try to publish more content with the help of ChatGPT , speeding up the editorial process and structuring my blog posts in a way that suits my requests. Anyway, that song is bursting with sweetness and the awkward thrill of young love, and captures those small, clumsy emotions we all feel when love first starts to bloom. It was a good one, I tell ya. Shana and Yuji are fighting together...Remember this? But today, we’re moving from soft and passionate pinks to blazing reds — from innocence to intensity. What am I gonna talk about, you ask? Well, it is the 1st opening theme song of Shakugan no Shana season 2, JOINT by Kawada Mami . Yes, it’s not a soft song — it’s a flame, a fiery and fiercely burning one. BUT, just like 「僕は…」 , it is more than just fiery passion. It is much deeper tha...
Good day, everybody. How is life? It had been a long time since I found the time and motivation to write it. I was too caught up with gaming and working. No guarantee that I won't have a long gap in between blog posts, just like the time between the post on AiScream and the post on BokuYaba anime . Regarding that AiScream post, it was a fun dive into how a light-hearted song using the "ice-cream" pun became a viral hit and captured the hearts of fans, even though I had a hard time completing it due to my day job's workload and trying too hard to integrate multiple AI chat suggestions. As for that Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu (BokuYaba) post back in May, it was once my really huge obsession. Remember this moment? Oops, it looks like that first paragraph might be a bit too long. Umm....whatever. It's fine, I guess. Anyway, this time, I will continue from that BokuYaba post that I published back in May to talk about a song that still gives me an emotional vibe: B...
