This episode reminded me so much of Kämpfer.

It's not breaking in if the door is unlocked.

Such a sweet episode and I personally think that it had the best bath scene so far.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

People complain that two young girls kissed but not that the other girl kissed a turtle?

This was a great episode, and it focused more on Shinobu, a character I really like. A whole plot was related to the fact that she worries and wants to have her first kiss, which in her view is something that tastes like lemon (I thought that was cute and a very sincere doubt on her part).

We also found out that both Keitarou and Naru's first kiss was with Otohime, LMAO.

It's a very cute and light episode, especially in the final scene with everyone playing in the hot springs and Shinobu saying that they are children. We also had her first kiss, which was given by Kaolla, because she wanted to do something nice for her friend, because she cares about her.

As much as Shinobu is a likable character, this episode was a little off-putting to watch.

It feels like the production value was decreased around this time, there's too many odd frames where the faces and colouring are watered down; Naru doesn't look herself at times and Shinobu isn't always looking directly at the character in question.

I don't know what to make of this episode. It begins with Shinobu expressing her love(indirectly) for Urashima via a kiss- her first kiss, in a way that symbolizes that she's all grown up, mature enough to be with him. Then the episode tries to jam in Kaolla to make her life very annoying by "stealing" her friend, invading her privacy, making her usual robot shenanigans related to kissing and even stealing her first kiss to justify at the end she was just trying to do all of this to make Shinobu feeling closer to her. Unfortunately its presented in a way that Shinobu accepts it but it doesn't really reflecting her feelings, almost as if she's inviting Kaolla to keep being a nuisance. Where as Makoto gets rewarded with the exploration of her inner feminine side, Shinobu in this episode is rewarded with her true feelings being repressed for the sake of feeling like a kid for a little while longer whilst giving the impression that Urashima is just a mirage in her mind.
It doesn't feel natural. I'd like to hear people's opinion on this.
I hope we see better.
