Tired of fishing, Yuki decides to take up street fighting. Another week, another episode of gay fishing. Sorry, Miyu’s still not back from Japan yet. Unless she is, and has just set up an elaborate plot to fool us all just for the hell of it. We’ll never know the answer to this potential conspiracy, [...]

Our Tackle Tsuritama finally hits the top of it’s airtime…with the calm before the storm episode. Huh? In the last 9 episodes, it’s all about being the characters and getting the characters prepared for this very event.

So here I am, a day after graduation and I’ve gotten sick with the flu. Lovely…but this episode of Tsuritama really delivered.

You know what? I’m actually enjoying Tsuritama more than Apollon at this point. This episode was all the fun that I hoped it to be, and it was a really creative calm before the storm episode. Just about everyone here made this episode exciting and I love the work that was done on the screenplay. [...]

Sakamichi no Apollon 10 gets down to business now that the bad romance has left town and sets up some major plot kernels, but mainly it’s about Kaoru screwing up. Kaoru has some wrong assumptions about what’s going on. Now that Yurika’s gone it’s logical to assume Sentarou will fall back on Ritsuko, such is [...]

Although the DUCK organisation seems to have everything pretty tidily wrapped up in both their hunt for "JFX" and to protect Enoshima's residents from the forthcoming typhoon and everything that entails, not everybody shares their enthusiasm or the way they go about their business. Thus, as this penultimate episode of Tsuritama progresses, we see an increasing "rebel" faction emerging from
