| Such an emotionally powerful ending to that episode. It started out with me thinking it would be stupid. Why would people from the sea, who can breathe underwater and whose clothes are as suited for water as their bodies, need swimsuits? Or time tests? But then it brought up things that I should have realised from the start. Like the chlorinated water of swimming pools not being the same as the saltwater of the sea. Or them not doing standard strokes like front crawl. Then Hikari hurt himself. I've had a similar incident before now, and every second I was reminded of that, the pain and discomfort not just from the actual injury itself but of just looking at it. Somehow from there it swept around into the emotional side of things. Chisaki and Kaname seem to have their share of admirers from surface dwellers, some of whom have decided to help out rebuilding the Ojoshi-sama, along with the original creators and the two who had brought about its destruction. But tension's building between the characters, particularly with regards to Chisaki and Manaka. And then Hikari sees Manaka with Tsumugu in a situation uncomfortably reminiscent of the one where Hikari found out about his sister dating Miuna's father. Of course, their actions were totally innocent, though, and Manaka returns to the sea, dragging Chisaki out of her depression to see the tomoebi, fulfilling a promise from long ago. And then, in front of those three suns... "If only the Ojoshi-sama wouldn't be completed..." "Wh-Why?" "Then it'd always be summer. Then we can all still be building the Ojoshi-sama. We could be together forever. Always playing together, and going to school, and talking." "But..." "I thought things didn't need to change, and I don't want to change." "You don't want to change?" "That may not be possible. It might be hard. But even then... I don't want to change. I always want to be together." With that slightly quaint echo... I get the feeling that if I come back to that scene later, it will tear my heart out. In some ways, it already is. |

| That was a pretty scene at the end. |

| Pretty good episode. Mainly Manaka development. With some exploration into Chisaki's feelings. Manaka's nosiness was understandable but still, was quite annoying -.- Hikari had some of his usual jealousy outbursts this ep. Still got a long way I see hehe. And did I just see Miuna blushing to him...O_o?...I thought she'd start liking him as a brother or sth like that but seems like she's fallen for him! Loli love XD I ship them ^^ :P Loved the visuals in the last scene. It was really beautiful. And a nice touch how Hikari and Kaname were just looking at it without them knowing so :) Made it more touching. Well, still lots of development to happen, but we have lots of eps so all in its time. |

| My brain might have been malfunctioned. I found Chisaki amazingly annoying in this episode. Like seriously ?! Manaka was trying to fucking help you , don't just cut the line and gtfo from the scene. Respect , your mother didn't teach you that ? Oh wait , she don't have the time to , she was busy asking you to post some mail right. Yea , go away it's near 4 o'clock already. JKJKJK. The scenery in the last scene was superbly amazingly executed , really nice , beautiful , wise quotes by Chisaki. Great episode. kuuderes_shadow said: And then, in front of those three suns...

Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes! Once you may have given up this dream. But today, you can be a hero!" - Kaname Jouji , Red Axe |
| Lovely ending to this episode. The animation was splendid. Nice seeing that the group is starting to get along well with the surface students. Also with Miuna and Sayu. Tsumugu before that swimming scene reminded me of Haruka from Free! lol Manaka was really forcing it this episode. Although Chisaki asked her to forget, all she's really doing is making things more uncomfortable for Chisaki. I really don't like how she kept calling out to Chisaki whenever an awkward situation with Hikari would come up. I get that Manaka is just trying to help, but she needs to take a step back and try to undestand how Chisaki feels about what she's doing. However, what she did at the end was nice. What Chisaki said was touching. |
| This episode brought forth more of that anonatsu-feel. I can understand manaka trying to help chisaki, but I can also understand chisaki not wanting the help. That can only end in tears. Also, I liked how the group for that festival magically more than doubled in size. The guys were obviously there for chisaki and have gotten over the fact that she's a sea dweller. I don't care if fish or pig, I just wanna stick in my... btw, loved the lolis hiding in that bush. And Kename's admirer is cute, too. Looks like there will be more tears next episode. |
| I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl |
| Still the drama. C'mon I can't survive all the episodes if this continues like this. |
| Manaka became the "annoying" one here. LOL. Natural reaction. She's not so into Hikari. yep, Miuna's blushing. The beautiful animation. |
| The drama once again didn't add anything, but otherwise I quite liked this episode. I've gone from despising the characters to actually kinda enjoy them, which is neat. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| This show could use just a little less drama, although as I said before, it's expected of Okada Mari. I'm fine with it so far but I can see how it might seem excessive for others. Anyways, I really like how all the resolutions of the problems/conflicts in this show, the problems always seem somewhat overblown (not that it's a terrible thing, they're honestly still young and are still learning to cope with their emotions), they are always solved in a simple manner, which I really like. The tomoebi was a really mesmerizing scenery, and I liked the bgm during that scene. Although I think there will still be some conflict between Chisaki and Manaka in the future, at least they've reconciliated. Also, Tsumugu is always a great help, I like how he told Manaka that he understands why Chisaki had been mad in the past over what may not see like a big deal to most people. So the love polygon problem will be set aside next episode as Akari's problem hasn't been fixed yet...Uroko-sama is very mysterious and interesting, so I'll be looking forward to it. |
 |
| Tomoebi :) Man, i'm so glad that this has 26 episodes announced. |
| my ship is confused. Someone's bound to get hurt in this :(( nice scenery btw. |
| pew pew pew |
| And here we go, Chisaki now goes into my list: "Annoying characters of NnA" |
 |
| This episode actually made me like Chisaki more than I did already. We got a deeper look into her character than we had had before, for sure, although most of what we saw in this episode had at least been alluded to or hinted at previously. You may not like what you saw, but I personally did. There's so many characters that I like nowadays, though. I'm starting to think that maybe even having a top 60 favourite characters list isn't sufficient anymore... |

| Dat tearjerking ost |
| Ah the love strings Chii chan's oppai wins Either Tsumgu was cycling terribly slow or Kaname and Hikari were running off to the dock that fast How the hell did they meet them that way |

Plus Tsumugu was already returning after dropping Manaka off. Plus Tsumugu had stopped earlier while dropping off his grandpa, who he would have had to have picked up in the first place... |

| So am I the only one wondering what they do when sharks swim by? |
 |
| Nice character development this ep. |
babymilo91 said: Yeah,I agree.That was a pretty scene at the end. |
 |
| This was an amazing episode! The drama was soooo much better handled than the last episode which was way too serious! Manaka is seriously way too damn cute too :) That Ost was beautiful also! :) Mod Edit: Double post combined. |

| Meh. The ost is fantastic though. |
| I'm not sure which one was the annoying one... That Miuna blush was so adorable. The animation was top notch once again. |
 |
| Well nothing much to say here it was an astounding episode. The ost, the animation, and that ending scene was just amazing. A bit more character development for Chisaki and some of the characters. |
| I'm still hoping the drama gets toned down a little in the future, but I thought this episode was an improvement from the last. Also, the visuals at the end were beautiful. |
| Why are the visuals so breathtaking? This reminded me of a scene near the end of Shinsekai Yori, and all I could say was "wow..." I'm pretty neutral to the story, but the visuals are top notch. Easily one of the most visually pleasing anime I've ever seen. |
| Wow they all saw it together and didn't even know it. Great episode. |
 |
| Yeah, they made up WOOT WOOT! Great episode!!! |
 |
| Great to see them getting along with their classmates. byul said: I'm still hoping the drama gets toned down a little in the future This too. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| This was a pretty good episode but it looks like we'll be going back to the stupid Akari one next week. |

Sir_Lexa said: Still the drama. C'mon I can't survive all the episodes if this continues like this. 20 more to go, probably more and more dramatic to come! |
| I rewatched the ending so many times, just so beautiful |
| The tomoebi thing along with the scenery was a visual achievement of PA works and backing it up with some good relaxing ost. |
| Great episode. The Tomoebi looked very pretty and beautiful. |
"I’ve set myself to become the King of the Pirates…and if I die trying…then at least I tried!" Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) |
| Really great animation and scenery. You did it again, PA Works! |
| Hikari X Miuna totally needs to happen by the time this show is over... unless my Shinsekai Yori alarm, which has been triggered since episode one, is correct and things go very wrong very soon that is. By the way, that toe injury hurt my soul and brought back some painful memories. ugh |
Tengoku_no_hakai said: Yes please, they'd make a cute couple (even if it means he's a dolicon :D )Hikari X Miuna totally needs to happen by the time this show is over It'd be funny to feed that to akari though: Hey sis, you know miuna? Your adopted daughter (basically)? Yes, why...? I'm seeing her. Eh? EH!? EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHH??? |

| I'm glad Kaname finally has his own fangirl. This show would be infinitely better without Tsumugu and Manaka!! They need to focus more on Hikari x Miuna (best pairing) or Hikari x Chisaki! Curse you Hikari for not choosing the big boobs girl!!!! |
 |
| chichan best girl. few years and she'd be stacked. huehuehue. |
    |
| Seriously they are making a big drama over such small things. At least the visuals of this episode were satisfying. |
 |
| I think I'm boarding Hikari x Miuna ship too. Anyway the discrimination have disapear since the event of the last episode which is nice. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Damn, the ambient music of the last part was gorgeous and really fit with the situations, I love it. |
| I dont even know which ship im on any more lol. 1st time an anime with love triangles back and forth did this. Pretty good ep 4/5 |
| i love it, so beautiful, i find this episode even better than the last episode, i agree the ambient of the last part was gorgeous, and their dialogue was really heartwarming and completely quotable :P The scene when there seems like there are three suns was breathtaking, i nearly cried i dont know why, i feel like i can feel how the characters are feeling at that moment :') |
