Slow Loop casts the line and always reels in a big one: episode 10 is no exception, especially since it leans into Koharu s serious side by indulging both her and the viewers with a fantastically fishy subplot that just slaps.
The series continues to be incredibly charming, and reminds me that sometimes, slowing down and enjoying the ebb and flow of life – and maybe having some good fish – is the way to go.
The way Koharu helps Hiyori cope with having a second father while trying to sustain the memory of her biological father is what gives Slow Loop much of its emotional texture.
