This was the perfect relaxing episode with the outdoors fishing camp they got set up. Plus, it's nice to see the girls enjoying the outdoors environment as the way it is.

Koi is also fun to watch in this episode/show. They really bought out her personality.

I love these Yuru Camp vibes.

Only one more episode left. I'm not ready to say goodbye to this show.

Koharu was energetic as usual. :)

Lol. She doesn't like secrets.

So this episode, Slow Loop decides to take a page off Yuru Camp and go camping...er, and fishing too.

The all-girls camping trip is nice, split between the kids and adults...and don't get too frazzled in alcohol straightaway Ichika. The kids go fishing as always, and Fly-Fishing Woman Koharu got too confident with her skill, she simply forgot about technique, and that leaves Koi to the rescue once again, this time changing the fly line a.k.a tippet according to the tensity needed. Koharu has got her imaginations about Hiyori all warped, that's for sure.

Koi's got a story with Hiyori as childhood friends, and Aiko got all Yuri-concerned about Koi for the sisters as well as Futaba, it's just an issue of best friends. Koharu, don't mind, don't mind, if you can't catch fish that easily! At least you can cook and can catch a SMOL baby rainbow trout. Koi's such a tease, haha.

But when it comes down to it, I think that Koi fancies Hiyori as much as they fancy fishing from the influence brought by their parents. And in regards to the remarriage of Hiyori's mom, it felt like it was needed out of consideration when Koi is concerned about Hiyori as well when things weren't good. All it takes is just one word of congrats, and their world changed forever.

One more episode to go, and this feeling shan't be forgotten...

Well another camp and another relaxing episode.
The girls having a lot of fun with fishing food and a talk about the past, it seems Koi was feeling guilty for what happened in the past but luckily it was resolved.
And the made Koharu jealous which was funny.

These girls sure love to travel and of course even there fishing is a must. Though again watching Koharu's hardships was fun.

Great episode!! The fish soup was very nice looking xD. And Koi kept a secret from Koharu in which Koharu's reaction was funny lol. Koi really is one of my favourite characters!

Looking forward to the next episode!

I thought Houkago Teibou Nisshi was really good, but Slow Loop is even better IMO. Another excellent episode. A bit more dimensional than the former.

Nice focus on Koi's inner monologue on how things have changed in the past year as the girls go camping and fishing

Another great Koharu's Kitchen segment too

One more episode left though huh, the vibes were great with Slow Loop this season~

"The Red Leaf Fisherwomen's Fishing Camp"
Very nice episode, in a way it reminded me a little bit of Yuru camp.
Koi was the protagonist here, recalling moments with Hiyori. So thanks to her all this would happen now, how curious.
Cute scene of them looking at the lake.
Good episode. Well, there's one episode left....

You can tell this is is fictional because Koharu didn’t interrupt the conversation right at its most important part lol

I love the inclusion of camping in this show, this time in the mountains, and it’s an outing featuring almost all the girls in the show. I loved the Aiko and Futaba bit in this one, and Koi giving Aiko advice was nice. I also gotta give it to the Fall scenery in this, I mentioned it in an earlier discussion but I love the Fall inclusion in this show. Koi also had a lot of hilarious moments as always, loved the bit where she got mad at Koi for bringing up the size of the fish saying, and I also liked Ichika’s moments as well as seeing the moms being wholesome together. Lastly the part near the end between Koi and Hiyori was so sweet, I really love their friendship and the sunrise over the lake was perfect as a background for the scene.

I’m incredibly sad to say this show ends next week, 100% one of my favorite anime this season, I was very happy to see another fishing anime so soon after I watched Breakwater in December, and it was an amazing SoL for sure.

It is Koi's episode and she really loves her best friend (and so does Aiko and Koi's mom). I like it when the ending comes full circle. Their memories tell a lot about their personality and Koi really means it when she said she doesn't like fishing but rather the person who fish. Koharu recalls Hiyori's gesture when Koi chomps the line, XD.

This episode had strong vibes of Yuru Camp where the whole group travelled by car through the lovely Autumnal scenery towards the spacious campsite. =)

While the views were nice and it was a joy to see how much fun Futaba and Hiyori were having fly-fishing by the lake shore, this episode was mostly dedicated to Koi. I do like her conversation with Aiko, who was worried about how jealous she would be when Futaba was talking and having fun with other people, so Koi gave her some good advice which put Aiko's fears to bed.

The best part of the episode came later, with Hiyori fishing before sunrise when Koi came over with the cafe au lait. While relaxing the two of them had a heart-to-heart talk about how Koi found out about the plans of Hiyori's mother, Ichika, planning to re-marry after the sad loss of her husband. It was thanks to this which gave Hiyori the full confidence to tell her mother to go for it and rest, as they say, became history.

It was a really sweet moment between the two, as Hiyori was thankful to Koi back then and how she's much happier with herself, too. I also love how the sun was slowly rising during their conversation as well. ^_^

One more episode to go now. All good things must come to an end, after all... T_T

Absolutely precious episode. Man, I love Hiyori and Koi's friendship. All of them actually has their own best friend pair too, except maybe Koharu, cause she's sharing Koi with Hiyori lmao. I love that their moms are also best friends too.

We were blessed with a lot of Koi's this episode. It's gonna be really sad to see my weekly Saturday therapy session go next week, but I am looking forward to the season finale.

I like how big was Koi's rol in this episode: not only she helped Aiko to dispel her doubts about friendship but also forgiven herself for that past moment she felt guilty about Hiyori. All of the characters got their shining minutes in lake's peaceful environment and it was an eye candy.

The best memories are always the one's thats happiest. The lake that they went to really was impressive. Using a wagon to transport their bags was a smart move. Aiko's like a jealous GF watching her sun be taken away by others. As ever Koi's knowledge and mannerisms were as cute as ever. Aiko's concerns though were surprisingly relatable. But looking back at how Koi was back then when she and Hiyori weren't that close was pretty interesting. Despite the strength she shows Koi is still surprisingly fragile as well. In the end im glad that the trip turned out so well for them.

Well that's one way for Hiyori to learn her mother is remarrying. Despite still being kids, they sure can be mature which is nice to see and in my opinion adds to their character.

Koi-chan is such a good friend and a good big sister. Hiyori is really opening up to everyone too, she was kinda shy before when the show started but she’s like really warming up to all the other girls. So cute!!
