Tsuritama ~ epi 01


I will post first impression sometime this week, I got half of it on here. If there's any grammar mistake, I apologize, i'm still learing.


Long ago there's were five-headed dragon that came and bringing darkness with them to end the world, until a beautiful goddess arrived, and her smile illuminated the dark world. One of the dragon's head falls in love with her. In modern type world a Alien boy came with same smile as goddess.

If you're interesting on this story you can check it out here and here.


The story started of with first protagonist, Haru, probably a alien, who just arrived at Enoshima. He visit Aquarium and somehow the fishes love him. little girl see him having a triangular halo on his head, so that's clue number 2 that he probably is alien, the first clue is his pet betta fish that can talks to and called him "brother", maybe it's Coco? O_o.

So after that we got second protagonist, a red-headed boy named, Yuki, who's transferring out school today. Unlike any goodby speech he left the school when making odd-and yet-cute face and then drowning underwater, but don't worried about kids in classic or school getting drowning, it's only Yuki stuffing from social anxiety. And we all thought he has communication problem as in talking, however he does relied on his cellphone.


When Yuki came home he meets up with grandma, who was packing up the last box before they leave to a wonderful place. Surprises that Kate, Yuki's grandma not just an grandma, she a grandma who looks so stylish and hippy + look so young, heck I bet she used to be rock start. After they reached Enoshima which took 2 days to get there, they moved in to lovely house with lovely garden around and close to ocean. Kate new job "Enoshima Samuel Cocking Garden" is across the street.

At earlier point, Haru still wondering around, until to he found what he was looking for when he see Yuki in car passing by, and see a reflected of a silhouette of a fish. By the time Haru reached their house, Yuki left for school, he introduced himself to Kate "I'm Haru, i'm an alien" and decided to live with them, without even asking Kate first, but she cool with it.


Meanwhile the 3rd protagonist, Akira the Indian boy with his lover Tapioca and long with his bodyguard was spying on Haru from a distant tower, he not sure why Haru came here for, he's assumes Haru just another tourist.

When Yuki got onboard the train he gets another social anxiety attack from wanted give up his seat for a guy. Lucky the guy didn't see Yuki's face reaction since he was saved by the 4th protagonist, Natsuki, who also wear same uniform as Yuki, offer the guy a seat.


When he got to school, his introduce went pretty well, but when got to his seat, he sees two students Natsuki and Erika who'd witness Yuki's face on train, before he gets in to another social anxiety attack again, Haru enter the classeroom with fishing rod, introduced himself and plays with Yuki with his fishing reel to come with him, like his an fish to him.

This time Yuki was going through aother panic attack, lucky he was interrupted when Haru's hole flashes out and squirted Yuki with his toy water gun, I have no idea what the water gun does but it seem to mind controled Yuki to sing or dance along with Haru, it didn't last long when Yuki wike and noticed he was dancing, lol.


After school Haru begs Yuki to come fishing with him. The best part is when they arriaved at the train station Yuki goes in panice attack over what Haru said to him "let's be friends", Haru doesn't like how Yuki was making that face so he squirtes him with water gun again, this time Haru brought him to Heming Way a fishing store.

While inside, Haru got afraid of the fat cat named, Boss and hid behind Yuki'd back. They also welcome by Misaki, the shopkeeper who in introduced the part-timer worker Natsuki, which we don't know much about him until now, that he's a professional level fisherman & Fishing prince.

When Natsuki came out with apron on, Haru calls him Prince but doesn't like how Natsuki threaten him so Haru squirtes him with water gun. Natsuki- "If you call me that at school, I'll kill you" Haru -"I don't wanna die!"


Haru transported both of them, yes he even he squites Yuki too, to dock where Natsuki can teach them to fishing. Yuki start to panic again when Natsuki correct their technique. But when the fish got on hold his lure, Yuki came out from imaginary ocean water and tries raise his rod while running across the dock. Natsuki took matter in his own hands and helped out Yuki to pull rod and leaves Yuki to turn the reel, In the end the fish got away.


When Yuki got home, he thought or fear he'd forget about what happened to today. Somehow he can't get out of his head: break through his panic attack by fishing, almost got fish, Haru asked him to be his friend. Just when he can get break from Haru, Haru burst open the door and if that didn't stress him out his granmada told him that Haru will start living with them.


Yuki - Haru suddenly appeard before me that day. I never dreamed it would happen. I didn't think we'd actually end up saving the world

And If that doesn't get much adorably and fun then that, Haru chased after Yuki was very adorably indeed i.g -

Haru's eyes was closed and his hands was behind his back while marching after Yuki in calming way. Just before he able to get closer to Yuki who was behind the chair as if it would protect him or something, Yuki ran outside and this time Haru chase after him in enthusiast way while calling out Yuki name and said "Hey, let's save the world together", poor Yuki was drowning again and doesn't get what's Haru was talking about 'Saving the world'.

Sadly Yuki has ran out place to run, so he was corner by Haru, whose hand was behind his back. Haru was smiling with eyes closed and took out his water and squirtes at Yuki because he was making that face again.

Reason for Haru chasing after Yuki, was under know to me. Probably Yuki doesn't want to talk to Haru or listen him so he ran away from him. I don't know....do think it's an open ending episode to their friendship and leaving it open for fangirls to imagination what's was going on, I mean Haru chasing after Yuki was just damn adorably.

-----------------------------------------------------Episode 2 Preview

Yuki and Haru stopped by Duck curry shop( that doesn't sound very nice ), Haru leading against Yuki's shoulder, Coco shows up :D, Akira along with Tapioca joined Yuki's class , and the trio goes fishing.

Some background information or hints I found/ theories

1) I noticed Yuki mean snow as in Winter, Haru as in Spring, but I totally for gotten that Natsuki mean Summer and Akira mean Autumn. Perhaps Haru needs 3 people with season named to save the world????

2) Is Haru reincarnation from goddess or ancestor of the goddess???? Sound and look like it.

3) Yuki's an fish or Alien or both? just like Coco? that what clue was giving out in episode. Yuki is keep on drowning in his own fears but when went fishing, he was pulled out of it. It's also stated in episode that Haru see reflected of a fish from Yuki.

4) Haru's betta fish is Coco! First of all her profile said She came along with him, so that mean she's an alien too, but no where to be seen, the only way you can see her is in her fish form. Big hints that betta has the same cross as Coco too.

5) If your interesting about goddness and dragon's story you can check it out here and here. Either way I hope the opening theme will give us more clue or symbolism just like Mawaru Penguindrum and does give feeling i'm watching MP.

6) Hmm not sure Erika's role in story going to be. I getting a vibe like an stories out where boy falls for girl or other way around. E.g Kimi to Boku. So ways either Erika or Yuki will fall for each other, but I hope i'm wrong. The anime is like 12 episode long. When it come to het shipping I shipped Coco x Yuki, thanks to preview.

Interaction moments ( Well this blog is about young boys' relationship after all )

I just love the interaction between Haru & Yuki from first time they met in class, Haru used his water gun on him, wanted be his friend, and chased after Yuki. Double + how Yuki reacts toward Haru is really funny & cute and how Haru being playful/enthusiastic around him especially in preview for episode 2. I can't even think of anime and stories( beside manga )where boy does that to other boy or at very least having cute fluff friendship. Ok maybe there's Kimi to Boku, and yet scenes between Haru & Yuki seem lot fluffer to me than in Kimi to boku, i don't to early to to judged.

Speaking of that I'd love to do Tsuritama vs Kimi to boku post to see which better and have cute friendship, so far based on first on episode of Kimi to boku: I like the sleep over while for Tsuritama there's isn't much yet, beside the moments between Natsuki, Yuki and Haru is pretty fun and for Haru & Yuki is most favorable in this episode.

Anyways really i'm looking foward to Haru & Yuki's relationship & development to it, after all I love their friendship so far it so fluffer, I just hope it doesn't end up like No.6. Mostly love to see how 4 boys form a friendship with each others and fishing together.

Things I find enjoyable or/& cute with in the episode

  • I like how Haru talks, it's like he doesn't know Japanese well, like when he begs yuki to go fishing with him, he change subject like "Yuki, your hair looks cool" and then back to bugging him again lol,

  • The background & bgm

  • Yuki's grandma

  • Natsuki teaching them how to fish, Natsuki himself
