Fish an Anime RNG Beginner Guide: Tutorial to First Rebirth

Finish the short opening tutorial, redeem codes through the Store, then run the core loop: catch anime characters, place your best ones on your base's plots to earn Cash per second (even while offline), collect, and reinvest in income and fishing power before Luck. When your first — deliberately low — rebirth requirement is met, spend down your Cash and Food, reset for the permanent multiplier, and repeat.

First five minutes: tutorial, Store unlock, and code redemption

Roadmap

1. 1

   Finish the opening tutorial

   Unlock the normal gameplay loop and core features such as the Store.

   • Complete the short tutorial before hunting for advanced systems
   • Note that the Store menu stays locked until the tutorial is done
2. 2

   Redeem codes in the Store

   Code rewards matter most while your base is still small.

   • Open the Store icon on the left side of the screen
   • Scroll to the code text box at the bottom and enter codes exactly as written — they are case-sensitive
3. 3

   Fix a rejected code

   A rejection is not always an expired code.

   • Copy the exact code and submit it once
   • Switch servers if a newly released code is rejected — older server instances can block it

Code status changes frequently and published lists currently disagree on what is active, so treat any code you find as possibly expired and confirm it by redeeming it in-game.

Build a stable cash loop

The whole game runs on one repeating rhythm: catch, place, collect, upgrade, repeat. You fish up anime characters, keep the valuable ones, and place them at your base, where each character earns Cash per second — including while you are offline. Your plot is your income.

The most common early mistake is fishing for long stretches without ever placing the catches, which leaves you with a growing inventory and zero earnings. Plot slots are limited, so treat them as a shortlist: when a stronger catch appears, pull the weakest character off its pedestal and replace it — common catches are the first to go. Rarity and base income together decide what a catch is really worth.

Early character and Food decisions

Food is the second half of the base economy. Feeding a placed character raises its level, and a higher level means a higher Cash rate from the same platform slot. Because food resets on rebirth, there is no reason to hoard it — spend it on whatever is currently sitting on your best slots. Concentrate food on one strong earner rather than spreading it across weak ones, and keep a character assigned to the garden so food keeps coming in without manual harvesting. Before you rebirth, run your food stock down on level-ups.

Upgrade and research priorities

Your main goal at the beginning is building up your fishing power and your income. Better income means you can afford more upgrades, while higher fishing power moves you through the game faster. Once your income is stable enough to consistently afford upgrades, that is when you start investing more into Luck. Luck improves your chances of better results, but it does not guarantee a specific rare anime — you want your account strong enough to keep fishing and earning while you chase those rare characters. Watch for the classic imbalance: overinvesting in one area, such as fishing speed, while neglecting the income needed to fund your next upgrades.

Preparing for your first rebirth

Rebirth trades your current Cash and Food for a permanent multiplier, extra storage, a higher rank, and access to better rods. Your collection and stat progress carry over.

Mechanic flow

1. 1

   Spend down your Cash

   Cash is wiped on rebirth, so convert it into lasting progress first.

   • Spend your remaining Cash on useful upgrades and research
2. 2

   Use up your Food

   Food also resets on rebirth.

   • Feed your strongest characters before you pull the trigger
3. 3

   Open stored boxes

   Unopened boxes are value that would otherwise be wiped.

   • Open any Cosmic or Lucky Boxes you have
4. 4

   Confirm the rebirth

   You trade Cash and Food for a permanent multiplier, extra storage, a higher rank, and access to better rods.

   • Confirm the reset — your collection and stat progress carry over
5. 5

   Keep rebirths routine

   The first requirement is low and the loop accelerates on its own.

Two figures currently circulate for the first rebirth cost — 40,000 Cash and 40 — and requirements increase with later resets, so treat the number displayed on your in-game rebirth button as the one that counts. Advice also splits between resetting straight after the tutorial and waiting until you have spent your first Cash and Food; both routes get you rebirthing early, which is the part that matters.

Early mistakes to avoid

Checklist

• Fishing without placinghigh

  Long stretches without placing catches mean nothing earns Cash — the most common way progress stalls.

• Spending Cash without a target

  Know the upgrade or research you are buying before you spend.

• Spreading Food across everyone

  Concentrate it on your strongest earner instead of weak characters.

• Rebirthing with currency unspent

  Put leftover Cash into permanent upgrades or research before confirming the reset.

• Letting the backpack fill during AFK auto-fishing

  When storage fills, auto-fishing stops producing and the rest of your session is wasted. AFK fishing is useful, but it does not replace active play.

• Treating a rejected code as permanently dead

  Typos, capitalization, or an old server instance are common causes — retry before giving up.

Once the first reset is done, the same loop continues at a higher multiplier: catch, place, feed your best earners, upgrade, and rebirth again when the next requirement comes into reach.
