Goldfish catching makes me remember of the Endless Eight arc – Mikuru wanted to do goldfish scooping!!! LOL.

Goldfish Catching

The traditional festival game of catching goldfish with a tissue paper net was taken to extremes on a recent episode of TV Tokyo’s “Champions.”

Lol towards the end the guy’s net was broken, and he caught 31 goldfishes within a minute! Wow!

Later in the episode, the champions who passed the speed catching round moved on to face off against each other in a new goldfish catching game. It’s said that many parents and children don’t play the goldfish catching games at festivals because they find it hard to care for the fish they catch. In order to encourage people to keep goldfish as pets, a game was designed by Sega game designer – players would compete to quickly catch an entire tankload of goldfish. Each player are allowed to bring their own goldfish raised at home to the battle, which could be added to their opponent’s tank. Evil eh? XD

Enjoy the final showdown. I’m amazed at their skill! Sugoi!

    Can’t be any more difficult than those stupid carnival games where you try to throw a penny/ball onto a dish…
    Festival games are usually a waste of money =____=

    Although I do have a stuffed frog and monkey in my room from fairs of the past =3
    Oh! I also won a $500 china doll when I was very young playing a spin the wheel game.
