Tsuritama ~ epi 08

Natsuki: Nice rod you have there.

Oh gosh the summer heat is killing me this week, I always knew May is part Summer.

Like always this review may contains horrible grammar. My english is very poor for some odd reason. So if see any grammar or spelling mistakes, I apologized.

With all money he earn, Yuki finally bought fishing equipment that cost 102,500 yen than again Misake gave him discount 100,000 about $1200. He could spend under $400 if didn't buy useless stuff like cap that cost $ 43.93, really? Japan has 100 yen store ( dollar store ) that you can buy cap for 200 yen. Well whatever he still has some leftover.

So what about Haru buying his own fishing rod? Turns out his no longer interested in fishing anymore he even forbidden Yuki to fish just because find the ocean's dangerous...on wait last week episode, min ago I thought he changed completely.

Speaking of Haru, Akira thinks Haru being hypocrite now, he even reported to his boss on the incident and believe Bermuda Syndrome is work the of the aliens. Sadly Akira got pisses off that his boss doesn't believe him and that BS is about stick again. Obviously DUCK doesn't know Dragon Triangle exist.

The four boys hangs out under the bridge do some fishing... expect for Haru, who play with soccer ball. On Akira's side, he one hell tsundere in fact when Natsuki came to him asking about his rain coat, he start to flirting with him making him admit that he enjoy fishing with them and just hide it because he's tsundere. lol my new otp

Natsuki: Akira, why are you dressed like that?
Akira: It's supposed tp rain today.
Natsuki: Is that right? Look like you've really gotten into fishing.
Akira: I've always liked fishing.
Natsuki: Why don't you fish by yourself, then?
Akira: I have my reasons.
Natsuki: Just be honest.
Akira: About WHAT?!
Natsuki: I bet you had fun the other day, fishing for tuna with the rest of us ?
Akira: Ridiculous (secretly blushing off camera)
Natsuki: You're not very cute are you?

Even more that Akira take out his duck umbrella protecting himself from Haru turns, turns out Haru just want to apologize for acting weird that day.

Haru: Akira
Akira: ( panicking to taking out his umbrella ) what?
Haru: Sorry for surprising you the other day. I won't do it again. I'm find now.
( walks away )
Akira: What terrible acting, Tapioca.
Tapioca: quack
Akira: What?

Beside Akira being all tsundere for Haru and Natsuki wanted be friends with them. Natsuki have no more fishing basics teaches Yuki, but seeing Yuki kinda down it, he does tell him that fisher will develop fishing experiences on his own, of course he does give him some tip about counting down on lure - how long it will take to hit the bottom.

Just when Natsuki was happy to see his sister pops in, he become unhappy when she announce her brother's birthday was in two days and that they're going fishing as family which include Tamotsue's gf. Natsuki doesn't like that, so he invited Yuki and rest to come with him.

The reason Haru was be acting so strange later and putting his hands over chest it's because he was sacred. He thought putting band-aid over his heart would helped make the pain go away. Kate walks in and talks to him that won't helped and the only way is that - he have to think really hard about what can he do.

Next day under the bridge, Sakura made some bracelets for her brother's present and rest of her family. She worried that her brother won't come. Ayumi cheers her up that he would take everyone on his boat . Other hand Haru was still sacred of the ocean, that he made up a lame excuse 'play ball in cup' that he doesn't want to come. Yuki influences him to come and make everyone and Natsuki happy. As for Akira's convinces he just want get his chance gather the evidence.

Looks like pink triangular is still there, and Haru begs him in voice we never heard of before, he don't want him interrupt them tomorrow and Haru wants to be friends with every one forever.

On the day of Natsuki's birthday, everything turn pretty good so far where everyone playing Enoshima game, poor Akira doesn't know how to play it end up doing the Enoshima dance for punishment lol. Just when Haru fixing to take a picture of Natsuki-trying to smile- and his dad, Natsuki argue with his dad that he will never be pro fisher in his own town and his dad is changing shop to different business. Thing got even more worse when Dragon brainwash fishing man to hit their boat against Ayumi's, making Sakura dropped her mother's bracelets in water . With result she blaming it on Natsuki which made Him frustrated to slapped her face.

Yuki can stand what just happened, so he stopped Natsuki, demanding him apologize to his sister, sadly Natsuki gets mad at him that Yuki doesn't understand him and storm off.

Natsuki: Yuki? Get out of the way!

Yuki: Apologize! Apologize to Sakura-chan. Sakura-chan worked really hard to make those for everyone!

Natsuki: What would you know? You don't understand! Leave me alone ( walks passes Yuki )

late at night, Yuki came outside to find Akira and Haru, probably having conversation. He got call from Misake ( nearly had panic attack over call ) that Sakura gone missing. The episode end with army brainwash fisherman boats heading to Enoshima......

------------------------------------Episode 8 Preview

Haru is bathing in ufo?, Sakura is back?, Yuki looks down, Four of them are having fun fishing, poor Yuki he has same problem as Haru, maybe feeling really bad what did to Natsuki?, zombies brainwashed fisherman on the attack, and Akira doing the DUCK pose at outside.

End Thoughts

Let start of with Natsuki's family - lot of people blamed or hate Natsuki or Sakura for what happened, actually no it's not their fault, I blamed Tamotsu for started the fight. He had to spill the beans on Natsuki and embarrassed him in front of everyone which cause natsuki not to think straight. Tamotsu Should had talk him in private, but no, he have to say those stuff on Natsuki's birthday. He doesn't even try to understand Natsuki's feeling or what's going through mind on his mother's death. actually - I can related to Natsuki's problem, I to have hard to move on and want to reach my dreams but afraid of letting go.

On Sakura and Natsuki's side, sibling fights and hint each others all the time, well then again my relationship with my sisters is not that good, they're somewhat cold to me, we fight all the time and even don't apologize either, we just forget and move on. Then again it's only my 16-years-old sister who fights a lot with me and I try to be mature at it. So in ways Sakura and Natsuki are just kids and teenage still, I bet they make mistakes all the time, but that doesn't stop them for having good relationship, Natsuki still love his sister and same does for Sakura. Like I said Natsuki was just frustrated at that time and wasn't think straight, he didn't mean to slapped his sister. But guess! They will make up next episode you can tell by the preview that Sakura back in her room and you see Natsuki's smiling. Though I more into seeing the drama between him and his dad.

The characters development was very interesting in this episode, I like how Haru isn't all that hype anymore and showed his worried/emotional side, he even put a band-aid over his heart just make the pain go away. Speaking of worried - I thought he was being all hypocrite about hating fishing and what Dragon did to Haru's Triangle may changed him, but turns out he was just afraid going back to ocean and putting in friends in dangers. And Wow best part of him in this episode is that he was brave to save Sakura life, he didn't think of getting brainwashed after saving her either.

Yuki's development is really something, he develop real well in this episode that he become my favorite character once again. He's no longer the Yuki I know from couple episodes back, than again he's still have bit panic attack when it come to person he doesn't know, especially on cellphone. Ah yeah, you can read how much he changed and how awesome he was in this episode, on here. Other than that I'm so proud of Yuki in this episode, it made cry ;_;. To bad lot people failed to see that since they're pisses off at either Natsuki or Sakura.

From hiding gun inside his turban and showing his cool side last week, this week Akira showed his adorable side from being afraid of Haru to showing his tsundere side that he does like to fish with three boys even feel embarrassed that he have to do the Enoshima. He even have Duck umbrella lol, I wonder if Akira have inner child, that'd be pretty cool if Akira does have it. 25-year-old showing inner child lol.

Friendship

Oh wow Natsuki has actually opened up to Akira, even Haru isn't afraid of Akira either? Maybe Haru probably scared of the Tapioca? either way I am so glad they accept him in the group now ;_;. on Yuki's side, I felt really bad for him for getting argument with Natsuki, he probably wonder if Natsuki hates him now, heck by the look of preview Yuki talks to his grandma about it, the same way why Haru feeling emotional pain over his heart. Maybe this first time Yuki feel bad for getting his friend angry? and doesn't know how to fix it. On Bright side we got see more of their relationship first part of episode. And Oh I just love how Yuki convinces worried Haru go with them on boat, Yuki such a big bro.

And what's this? Akira isn't wearing his rain coat at the end of episode and Haru was with him at that time? Did they had conversation about what's going to happened? Did they finally trust each others?

DUCK and Dragon

Lol I was right about Natsuki and Yuki don't remember that event, still feel bad that Haru cannot explained why he hates the ocean. Coco just chilling out and Akira isn't helping either, he just want record the next attack. What's DUCK's motive? why don't they believe Akira? don't they know Dragon Triangle exist? Maybe they're using him and knowing that the dragon exist.

Also WHAT THE FUCK army of boats heading towards Enoshima???? but wait how the fuck brainwashed fishing man going to destroy the world or Enoshima, haha what the hell???? Seem like Akira will stopped them in preview.
