I like this episode. We've got:
- Hiro baited by the Exceed reel and being hilariously bad at handling money
- Harem-baiting
- Yuri-baiting
- Hetero-baiting
- Literal fish baiting of different types
- Fishes metaphor in romance
Speaking of the Exceed, he got it as a newbie. I'm not surprised if he'll pick up some bad fishing habits that he needs to unlearn later
Revolutionary Girl Utena - a well-polished 90s show with surreal direction and a very good soundtrack
Blood for the Blood God. Skulls for the Skull Throne.
The tropes you listed, I realized this episode is like...
other series spoiler
a speedrun of three seasons of Kimi ni Todoke lol
Trivia for the day: In Japanese, the way you write testicles is 金玉 (kintama). If you look at the kanji individually, it is gold ball. So, now we know what this scene in the OP is referencing:
I learned that watching Gintama. As Master Oogway once said, "there are no accidents"
Another trivia: Dandadan references Kinpachi-sensei, which Gintama also does. Peak references peak.
The post in the dandadan community ain't federating properly in my instance, so...
Absolute cinema. Can't believe this has better fluff than many outright romances
I don't mind participating for the sake of making a child happy, yes, or to support a local business.

We really need more wholesome stuff like this in Lemmy.
The Vatican actually trying to harness the power of God and anime at the same time lmao.
