I liked the fishing shenanigans, too. You’re right in that no force can afford to fight all the time, so the focus in Sky Girls shouldn’t be, and isn’t, on destroying WORMs all the time.

It made sense since doing missions wouldn't be the -only- thing that happens on a cruiser at sea for weeks to months. And some of the simple things still involved the Sonic Divers (like fishing), so we still got to see various pieces of action. And if you eliminated the slice of life, the series would become repetitive and boring with a WORM-of-the-day schedule. In Shana II, I guess there was far too much slice of life and too little action. And because the first season was around, viewers had expectations that weren't met. Without season one, maybe we would have accepted Shana II as a slice of life series with a bit of action, instead of expecting the other way around. Or if Shana would have just turned blazing and unsheathed her sword at Kazumi or Konoe more often while she was arguing with them, it would have been more fun.
