This is like a classic outdoor adventure with fishing, camping, friends, etc. this episode. I also love the way they showed the outdoor nature. Such a charming episode to see friends enjoying life.

And Koharu's reactions this episode was gold. Bring on more!

That was a fluffy and relaxing camping trip. A crossover episode with Yuru Camp would have been great, hehe.

Nom. Koharu's Kitchen segments always make me hungry.

That angry face was so adorable. xD

Aww.

That's a nice looking fish. Good job! :)

Koharu throwing a tantrum was funny and the reason was even more hilarious.
Well the girls did manage to convince their dad and had a nice trip.
Koharu's fishing skill has greatly increased and it seems she is enjoying it. it worked out great for their trip as well.

While camping is mostly fun it also needs to be taken seriously, no wonder that Koharu's dad was so worried about them, specifically Koharu does act like a child sometimes. Just make a proper plan with everything included, have friends /parents in contact to know where you are and see, it works.

The opening tripped me a bit as Koi dived into her own story, only for Koharu to be the pun of the joke.

Both Hiyori and Koharu ran away from home...just to do a regular fishing and camping trip? Well, given how parents are very protective of their children, Koharu's father is harsh based on the fact that she fell sick the last episode. And that was Koharu definitely throwing a tantrum, she's a child in a high schooler's body, not being trustworthy. Thankfully for her, there's Koi to help out the planning while the sisters do the negotiation with their parents.

The sisters got the greenlight, on the basis that they'll take care of each other, the most concerned being Koharu's enthusiasm costing her safety. And with that, the fishing and camping trip is underway...with Koi making her own coffee while the sisters go fishing. The thing they're fishing for is once again char...which Koharu thought that fish will birth from eggs, except that they actually will consume them, the form of salmon roe. Koharu still pouts at being unable to catch fish, but quickly adapts what Hiyori taught her, and it's all skill and expertise from here on.

Koi isn't a fisher of fish, but an observer, which she actually learned from her obsessed dad, which is a contrast to the sisters. Once again, Koharu's Kitchen is up for business, and it's always a delectable delight to see what she cooks up with. A scary story involving her dad, his friend and a raging bear, that scared Koharu shitless to feel the same mood, welp.

Don't feel scared, Koharu! Just hug someone! The special ED song for this episode is so calming.

The usual camping activities but this time it's nice to see them doing it by themselves and traveling without their parents, though I understand that the father felt this way.

Great episode.

Koharu, Koi and Hiyori are highschool girls as well but when you compare them with higschool girls from other anime then our trio looks like they are just kids lol. But in reality I like how all three of them are mature to an extent and responsible as well, Koi seems like the most Otonappoi among the three of them.

The dad was scared to send just the girls alone for the trip and it was pretty understandable but he needs to give them space to grow and become independent as well so it was nice when he was able to overcome his doubts and let the girls go for the trip.

When they said they were going to rent a bunglow, that little shed is not what I imagined lmao.

Koharu ended up catching lots of fishes this time.

That scary-story part was hilarious, poor Koharu haha.

There's a post-credit scene as well in this episode, don't forget to watch it.

It was hilarious to see Koharu flustered like that, of course Koi and Koharu are comfortable lol.

5/5 episode. Looking forward to next one. Just 3 more episodes left, it would be great if a new season is announced and that too right after the 12th episode xD.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.

The camping site the girls went to is the Nara irisawa keiryu zuri campsite(ナラ入沢渓流釣りキャンプ場) in Tochigi-ken. It is around 5 hours away by train from Yokosuka so Issei-san was correct about it being rather far.

One of the bungalows in Nara Irisawa camping site, similar to the one the girls stayed in. If the girls could drive, they could have parked at the side, like this family did. Maybe next time they should invest in a trio of Super Cubs!

(BTW, there is a seiyuu connection between Slow Loop and Super Cub. Hioka Natsumi voices both Koharu in Slow Loop and Shii in Super Cub)

Great episode! Koi was enjoying some tea and relaxing until... Koharu and Hiyori run away from home since Koharu's father won't let them go on a fishing trip by themselves but Hiyori's mother will xD. They eventually are allowed to go on the trip and invite Koi! We also saw Koharu's tragic story about the goldfish eating their eggs lol. Koharu felt accomplished after getting her first fishing related question! Koharu got scared by Koi's bear story and couldn't sleep!

Looking forward to the next episode!

Their dad is not like Rin and Nadeshiko's dad from yuru camp.
He is worried about both of them. Glad he told hiyori that. It deepens their bond. Always hard being a new dad to a teenager who lost her father tragically.
Koharu is learning and getting better at fishing.
She is a great cook. Gonna try one of her recipes these days.
The Kuma story scared both of them. Bear attacks are no joke.

Sometimes you just need that one person to show up and change your life. That's what koharu (little spring) is to hiyori (serene sun).
Biyori means weather.

I could be wrong as i don't know the exact kanjis they use for their name.

Koharu throwing a tantrum to go on a trip was quite funny, but her father did have a point. Glad everyone managed to settle the matter

The trio went on a really sweet trip, loved the vibes

Koharu staying up to hear about relationships or a scary story was expected, but the outcome was hilarious, Koi sure is great

The ED was beautiful

I mean, can we really blame Koharu's dad for being overprotective? Poor man already lost a wife and a son so no wonder why he feels so uneasy about letting his daughters go camping so far away.

Anyways, another great episode. The fishing trip was lovely.

Such a good episode, opening up with a family conflict between Koharu and her dad, but thanks to Koi’s insight and help, Koharu and Hiyori were able to convince him to let them go camping without adult supervision, I honestly really like that they included that too, like to see more of the family. The highlight of the episode of course was the camping trip, as someone that has went camping many times, this was very nice, had all the camping vibes and there were some very good moments, Koharu becoming a “fishing pro” and even helping out those guys, Koi just chilling lol, and I also really liked her explanation for why she likes people that fish, I get her there, of course I love fishing myself lol. Also really liked Koharu’s cooking once again, the food is always amazing looking in this show, and the scary story bit was great too lol.

I definitely loved the new ED too, very nice song, and the after credits scene was great too, Hiyori and Koi are very casual about being nude but Koharu was a bit more reserved. Very fantastic episode once again, and I wanna point out the Fall representation is great! I love seeing Fall in SoLs and for a fishing anime it’s perfect.

Seeing Koharu throwing a tantrum was amusingly cute, but I don't blame her father for being overly strict here, considering how easily Koharu got sick previously.

Like with Yuru Camp, the girls here did a good job researching a location which had the preferred facilities that they wanted, travelling to and from the location as well as calling back home to let their parents know that the girls were safe. All in all, I'm glad they got his approval in the end. =)

It led to a fun and relaxing trip between Hiyori, Koharu and Koi at the campsite, especially the walk that they took to the site, which was filled with lovely colours of the trees that Autumn offers. As usual, it was fun to see how good Koharu has gotten with fishing and she even helped out another group with a good fishing spot, which easily made herself very proud. XD

It made for a nice and amusing episode today. I wasn't expecting a different ED song alongside the re-arranged still visuals, but it was a pleasant song. As an extra, led to a post-credits scene with the trio at the hot springs for some rare fanservice. It's no surprise that, considering that they're childhood friends, Koi and Hiyori being nude together when changing felt natural to each other, but to Koharu's point of view, she sees it as something that's rather embarrassing. She'll get comfortable with it one day, hopefully! =P

Man, this show is sho good, I love it so much. What would I do without shows like this perfectly capping off the weekdays.

That special ED caught me by surprise, so comfy. That was a really fun trip with our trio, Koharu is hilarious as always, especially her fish eggs backstory lmao. Hiyori being excited to fish was really cute and Koi is Koi. I am gonna be sad when this show ends in 3 weeks.

Also, top tier anime parents right here, except maybe Koi's dad lmao.

Another great-comfy episode.
This one is definitely the most Yuru Camp of all episode of Slow Loop.

Not just the plot itself that shows cute girls camping by themselves, but also the background and music that have similar style to Yuru Camp. LOL.

To think that Hiyori and Koharu would end up running away lol. Still going camping at their age is rather dangerous and i don't blame their father for refusing. Even when angry Koharu's adorable. Despite her young age Koi's pretty mature for her age and her logic really was on point. Their plan of action that they submitted really was pretty detailed. That campsite though really was pretty while also providing Koharu with plenty of fish to catch as well. Koi's ghost story was pretty amusing. Overall a cheerful ep as always that allowed the girls their first solo trip that provided some nice expansion for both Koharu and Koi. In the end looks like the trip turned out to be a huge success which was nice.

Even though I'm already replaying Breath of the Wild, this episode made me want to play something like Stardew Valley.

So far all these episodes have been really good, I can't think of a weak one among them. The series is really good at slice of life and character developments. It's so subtle and smooth in its transition as well. I'm certainly going to miss it when it's over.

From just fly fishing to now solo camping, time to take on Yuru camping!

With the sad loss in the past, I can see why the dad is protective of his daughters but still props to him (and the mom) for allowing them to go on this exciting trip.

It's nice to see them excited about preparing the itinerary.
That's always cool as long as you don't overload it.
(Life teaches you that not everything goes as planned)
I didn't know that fish ate their own eggs... Dude.
It doesn't surprise me but it's somewhat disturbing.
A few episodes ago I commented that Hiyori's father resembled the protagonist of Bakuman.
And now that I look at it, Koharu's father resembles the other protagonist of the same anime.
Here are the complete "Ashirogi Muto". Lol
Koharu managing to catch a lot of fish and then not being able to sleep was funny.
Good and relaxing episode!
