A single show can be found on different websites, which at first seems like a good thing but isn’t really. Especially when you consider that sometimes a show could be scattered across platforms. Kill la Kill was first released in 2013, and to this day, the anime enjoys a dedicated fanbase and substantial popularity across the world.

Anime streaming service Crunchyroll is reeling fans in with its latest original series, “Negative Positive Angler.” Set to debut this October, the emotionally complex sports drama hails from acclaimed studio Nut Animation and director Yutaka Uemura.
Blending the conventions of fishing and tear-jerking drama, “Negative Positive Angler” follows college student Tsunehiro Sasaki as he finds purpose through an unlikely hobby. Burdened with debt and a bleak medical diagnosis, Sasaki is rescued from debt collectors by eccentric fishermen Hana Ayukawa and Takaaki Tsutsujimori. The eccentrics introduce Sasaki to the meditative sport, which becomes an outlet for his depression.
Helming the project is Uemura, known for fantasy series like “Saga of Tanya the Evil” and sci-fi thriller “Deca-Dence.” He aims to infuse the sports anime genre, often seen as lighthearted, with gravitas. “This story depicts how fishing transcends trivial recreation and becomes a lifeline in times of darkness,” said Uemura.

For the most part, this comes with the art of Tsugumi Nanamiya, besides the lush aesthetic that is geared towards fan service, in beautifully capturing a wide range...
