Cast Comments

Rim Kusumi as Hiyori Kainagi
Impression when I read the work for the first time
個性豊かな⼥の⼦達の⽇常のほのぼの感と同時に、登場⼈物達が凄く⼈間らしく悩んだりしますが、お互いの⾔葉に助けられたり気づかされたりして前に進んでいく。 I really feel the warmth of the people in this work.

(2) About the character you play
Hiyori tends to look cool, but she is not gloomy. When she is happy, she is so sparkling and when she is in trouble, she is so impatient. I play the role as if I were such a typical female niece.

(3) A word to those who are looking forward to the broadcast
Whether you like fishing or you have never touched fishing before, you can enjoy this work! I will do my best so that many people will love the anime "Slow Loop"!

Natsumi Hioka as Koharu Kainagi
1) What was your impression when you first read the work?
I had no knowledge of fishing until then, but after reading the work, I learned about the depth of fishing and became interested in it! I became interested in fishing. The dishes using black cod also look delicious every time I read it, and it makes me hungry...(lol). I was also very much healed by the picture design and the atmosphere.

(2) About the character you play
Touharu is always cheerful and full of energy! She is an innocent young woman. She is honest about her own feelings, and she always says and does what she thinks, which is both a good point and a point of concern (laugh). (laugh) She also has a cute gap between being a good cook and being a good actress!

(3) A word to those who are looking forward to the broadcast
I think that both people who like fishing and people who don't like fishing will enjoy this work! The anime's unique presentation of the fishing scenes and the cute expressions on the characters' faces are also a must-see. Please also pay attention to the relationships between Hiyori, Kobuharu and Koi.

Tomomi Mineuchi as Koi Yoshinaga
(1) What was your impression when you first read the work?
I was impressed by the exciting feeling of fishing, the comfort of nature, and the warmth of the characters' interactions. The first time I read the book, it was late at night...I wanted to eat a meal of fish!

About the character you play
She is the eldest of four sisters and a good caretaker who also manages the family fishing tackle store. He is the eldest of four sisters and a very responsible person who takes care of the fishing tackle shop at home. His wide range of personalities are also attractive, such as his sharp criticism to his active father and his cute face to his mother whom he does not see very often!

A word of advice for those who are looking forward to the broadcast!
You will finally see the three of them in action...! And the rice they make with the fish they catch looks so delicious, it's a must-see! (I'm going to give a great performance and keep the atmosphere that I felt when I read the work.

I would like to give my best performance in the atmosphere that I felt when I read the work!

Since Yokosuka City is one of the models for the stage, a collaboration between the TV anime "Slow Loop" and Yokosuka City has been decided!

As the first step, collaboration posters will be displayed at collaboration stores, shopping streets, and fishing tackle stores in Yokosuka City.
There will be more collaboration projects and Yokosuka original collaboration goods to be sold in the future, so please look forward to it.
