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!
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...
Hello! After two special posts ( Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso & Aikatsu ), I gonna to be writing an anime review after finished watching this year. Since I had posted a huge amount of post recently, this time I will take my sweet time to write this post. Of course, I would try to finish it ASAP. Cute, right? Anyway, had guessed what anime is it? Well, it's in the title. Duh! It's RO-KYU-BU! Yes, it's about a bunch of lolis and playing basketball. How? Well, you will see. 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 HAD been warned. Don't blame me for being spoiled if you INSIST on continuing to read this post.
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...
Hi! Welcome! I'd been on a hiatus on my anime reviewing for quite some time and had only recently written a review on BanG Dream . I need to focus on my studies on the final weeks of this semester. Yes, I'm still studying at university. It's my fault that I'm still stuck at this stage of life. Huh... Time to go for it...BTW, these are some of the characters from the anime. Anyway, I had just finished the final episode of the anime that I'm gonna review on this post. Sorry, I didn't realise that the final episode was out as I saw from anichart.net that it had a LONG WAY to go before the final episode is out so that why I'm late in writing this anime review. Anyway, let's do this. Let's continue the story of the journey of the hero! 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 i...
Hey, people. It's been a while since I had a blogging spree on anime since January. In recent times, it has been about anime songs, which are Tutu Ballerina and Poppin' Bubbles . Also, I did have my take on the Genshin Impact 1st year anniversary fiasco on this blog. So yeah...let's move on. The cute girls... As a Love Live fan...well, I actually like Aikatsu and Idolmaster more. Yeah...ANYWAY...This is yet another Love Live franchise, which comes as a surprise to me. I started writing this while Love Live Superstar is still airing. Will write and publish a post about it after it finishes airing. ANYWAY...LOVE LIVE SU...Ahem! Sorry, it's LOVE LIVE Nijigasaki High School Idol Club!!!! (Dang it, the title is so freaking long). WARNING:- 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 ei...
