Have you ever caught a fish? It could be at the goldfish scoop or on some badass party boat off in the Caribbean, whatever. I think the largest fish I caught was a striped bass off the Jersey shore. Close to that was probably some bluefish after my flounder bait. But the striper? About 26 [...]

Tsuritama is an anime about fishing!
When I first read that, my reaction was =.= However, when I saw the word "alien" in the synopsis and the promotional picture of the four male characters, I decided to give it a shot and I'm glad I did. ^^
Story: (9/10) – Very Good
Three words can sum up the series - Fishing, Friendship and Alien.
The setting of the story is Enoshima. From the anime, it looks really beautiful and I will like to go there in my next visit to Japan (hopefully soon).
The first half of the series was very light-hearted and I felt happy watching it. However, the second half suddenly turned serious. The plot started to progress very fast and I couldn't help but to be drawn into the story.
Characters: (9/10) – Very Good
Ah... I really love the characters. The four male characters all have unique personality and are very likable. Also, side characters like Keito baachan and the ship captain are very nice and charming.
Favorite characters:
Yuki - his hanya face is too funny! I can relate very well to his nervousness as I tend to get nervous easily too. I love his character development the most.
Haru - he's too cute!! If only there are really such cute aliens...
Natsuki - I love his cool personality. It's nice seeing him having quite a bit of character development too.
Akira - "Duck" I love the way he shouts it. LOL I also love his duck, Tapioca. So cute!!
Keito - she's such a sweet granny!!
Art/Animation: (9/10) – Very Good
The art style is very unique and pretty. I love the way the background is colored! Really pretty! The animation is also beautifully done.
Music: (9/10) – Very Good
I love the Opening theme. It always put a smile in my face. Whenever I watched it, I felt like dancing to the Enoshima dance but well.. I didn't as I can't dance for nuts. The Ending theme is very nice too. It has a relaxing feel.
Enjoyment: (10/10) – Awesome
Tsuritama is definitely my favorite spring 2012 anime. I enjoyed every bits of it.
Overall: (9/10) – Very Good
Fishing might sound boring to some but I'm sure you will change your thinking, like I did, after watching Tsuritama.

The powerful allure of bishies with fishies This is the end of the road for Tsuritama. Tis a momentous event, to be sure, and I have invited lvlln to have some “last words” of sorts about everyone’s favourite show: Gay Fishing. It’s not even a joke now…it is practically the new name of Tsuritama. Woops, [...]

And so we reach the end of our extended fishing trip – its been a lot of fun! I’ve really enjoyed watching Tsuritama, in a fairly strong season it really held its own, and I felt that it ended up being the better of the two Noitamina shows, since it was more consistent and better [...]

Tsuritama More often than not, I always enjoy an adventure series. But you know what? Tsuritama has been one horrible review to even try to write, since I just can’t get all my thoughts about this show sorted out. In every adventure show, you have the main character. Enter Yuki, a shy male who’s living [...]

「さよならのフィッシング」 (Sayonara no Fishingu)
"Goodbye Fishing"
Endings. It’s maddeningly difficult to craft a pleasing one, but with Tsuritama I think this might’ve been the perfect note to end it on.

edit by -blacksheep: My thoughts have already be added (and it was unexpectedly long). I appreciate those who’d be reading it and waited patiently(: Of all the series to air so far and of the series I’ve seen up to this point, not one has really managed to keep a level of positiveness (hey, that’s [...]

Goodbye Fishing With shows like Tsuritama, the ending was always going to be the worst part. How do you close off an adventure series properly? I appreciate the effort, but well…let’s just say the “Beat the badguy, say goodbye, return 6 months later” scenario doesn’t float my boat. The characters and the originality are what [...]
