Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater. This was a really cute show. It's about a first-year student named Hina Tsurugi who moves one day and arrives to a town near the ocean. Now, Hina is a more in-doors girl and was wanting to join the arts and crafts club at her school, but one thing led to another and she finds herself in a fishing club.   Animation-wise, it's average. As a Doga Kobo production, they do their best with their animation and it fits the setting well. Characters...there's Hina who I already mentioned as loving arts and crafts and is a more timid girl who gets easily scared or perplexed. But she is slowly beginning to love fishing.   Natsumi Hodaka was a childhood friend of Hina's who's your typical energetic, hyperactive girl. Makoto Ohno is the tall, bespectacled girl who is knowledgeable on fishing but when explaining it, she leaves others at a loss for words. Lastly is Yuuki Kuroiwa, probably my favorite of the group. She's the laid-back club president who oftentimes is kind of lazy such as when she claimed that cleaning up the fishing lines was a club tradition. She can often give some advice to the other girls on how to do things like bait the fishing rods, which is often met with shock during times she's actually helpful.   Voice work is also good. I also like the tips the show gives when it came to fishing like where to find different fish species during a certain time of day and habitat. As well as how to bait fishing hooks and what types are needed for certain species. As someone who likes fishing, very informative.

A very good anime for the season, nice and relaxing to watch. Glad to see that it had returned and staying on track. Does not seem to have much of a story tho but is educational to people who may want to fish soon, just remember to get fishing license before you do, required here unless it's on your property or you're under 12 I believe, not sure about the age anymore.

ITS HERE BOYS AND GIRLS FISHIN TIME! this seasons version of cute anime girls do a thing is fishing, and of course it does not disappoint. Of course it is just a SOL so just sit back and relax the show never does anything to ruin the flow of the show.  I'll be quick since it's nothing to crazy, so if you fell like your really bored by episode 3/4 then drop it. otherwise if you no nothing about fishing then your in for a treat there is some actually good tips for fishing.  so now a bit more in-depth  animation is good nothing to crazy but it defines does the job. the sound is fine could be better but sound really doesn't affect the show too much. The op/ ep are pretty Catchy if that's your cup of tea. The characters are pretty funny and don't bore you to death which is all I can ask for in SOLs so props to them story is ummm , it's a fishing show they fish and do goofy stuff they're isn't much more to say, if you were expecting more I'm not sure what to say other than uh go ready the summary  in short it's a relaxing sol for those who need something to  have a laugh or to just fill the air. so enjoy the watch and thanks for the read
