Negative Positive Angler is an original anime centered around the theme of fishing. It follows a young man who has led a withdrawn and negative life, disconnected from others, and how he changes through his encounters with fishing and various people. You can read the full synopsis below:
A college student named Tsunehiro Sasaki, burdened with a large debt, is given only two years to live by his doctor. He spends his days in depression.
One day, while being chased by debt collectors, he falls into the sea and is rescued by a girl named Hana, who loves fishing, and her fishing friends, including Takaki. At Hana’s suggestion, Tsunehiro experiences fishing for the first time in his life and begins to deepen his friendship with the fishing group.
He also starts working part-time at the convenience store where Hana and Takaaki work. Though he struggles with the unfamiliar fishing terminology and the smell of raw bait, he gradually becomes hooked on fishing. The feeling of a catch transmitted to his hands is a sense of living. A life that has been falling and only looking up at the world doesn’t change easily.
What is it that Tsunehiro finds through fishing…?
