THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Continuing from last ep. They are going to the place they are staying. Then they saw school. Older twin sister of that rude girl works there (oh, sisters?). And everyone here knows about the girl's father transferring here. Everyone here wants are excited, and wants to get around her.

They touched a kind of stone that relates to the wishing stone that made the girl became invisible? It was because she was confused about transferring or not. To separate or not letting her go away...

Older twin is being tour guide. Seeing everyone they met is anticipate about her father. The clinic... Younger sister didn't want new one to replace old one, who taught the girl's father. So they are also sad about leaving, too. Then at school, she came back. Practicing greeting when transferring.

Leaving and wanting more trips.

About typhoon and ghost next ep.

This was a fan service filled episode and I liked it because I got to see Saki’s body fully naked with blanks but still it was all there to see. The spring bath fan service was also appreciated considering there were some parts that were not censored. Those promise that the series shall not have any details unlike Maken-Ki as example. Just blanks IMO.

I have to say that Saki in the following,

Along with her depictions in the spoiler
showed a rather nice touch of her while she blushed being a ghost. That itself was surprising.

About the beginning, I liked that it starts with some Natsumi angry face and then a crying one. While the surfer from last episode with a tan is sexy. The setup is nicely done here. I love seeing Rinko with her hat in the spoiler
it was nice to see. The was that Natsumi and Saki here react to Yuka is hilarious. How they calm down is too. I liked seeing Natsumi respond here with a blush. The outside setup continues to be promising here. Those palms trees and the house design being white in color to reflect the heat. Loved seeing Saki’s blush here. Nice seeing the surfer studying up on techniques and that’s what I did when I wanted to learn surfing back being 10 years old. Just grab a mag and start checking it out. Nice to see the old lady seeing them for service and I like her plain design. Makes it easier on the eyes.

Saki’s blushed face continues to be great here and so was the other girl whom I think is the sister of the surfer. Since while she picks up on text so does the surfer here and it looks like she does not like it.

About the fan service, it was all over the place. Perhaps Vol 5 needed some spicing around anyway. The list says more
  • Yuka/Rinko fan service in the spoiler
    was nice to see. Notice that Rinko has small breasts than Yuka and the water is being semi-clear.

  • The group part in the spoiler
    was nice mainly due to Saki being shown and Natsumi joining in. However the best part was Saki’s face up close here and of course HER NOSE BLEED! Now that I did not expect.

  • I appreciated seeing more of the gang but it really hit nicely with Natsumi throwing that bucket at the surfer in the spoiler
    revealed some nice arm parts and her attitude was nice.

  • Here is what was not censored in the spoiler
    ass and blank fronts.
    The ultimate proof it will be like that in the Bds most likely except less steam.

  • Gratuitous showing off of Yuka’s chest in the spoiler
    I found it weird at first but as the bath part started I realized it was all just a upfront for the bath to come. I knew it was not really natural of Yuka less they are showing us she is more at ease with her body. It seems not like the case as she is seen clearly her being shy as the older sister mentions it to her.

  • Gratuitous showing of the mature sister in the spoiler
    tan lines + angles shown + the way her breasts come out looks to me like gratuitous in terms with the fan service guide lines.

  • The fan service continues in the spoiler
    with Saki disappearing and the older sister coming. Notice again the water being semi-clear revealing quite the silhouette with Natsumi/Rinko and Yuka.

  • Saki’s ghost appearance in the spoiler
    got some nice fan service out for this fan of hers. However I do think more might be exposed. There are too convenient angles not showing her bottom along with objects placed around so remains to see in the Bds of those parts.

  • What however was not censored once again is in the spoiler
    you can clearly see Saki’s breasts and full frontal blanked out.
    BEST FAN SERVICE FOR SAKI FANS! Thanks to the studio for that one and yes Saki has a amazing bust and figure.

  • Once again Saki in the infirmary in the spoiler
    looks to have room to show more in the Bds but it was sexy, especially Saki’s reactions.

  • Saki in the classroom being visible in the spoiler
    sounds to me like again convenient angles that can be showed out in the Bds.
So the list surely being long, shows how long the fan service really came out and the uncensored bits to show out what the Bds may show better. I however am intrigued at what one person did in the spoiler
could Natsumi have nipples there or it’s just a convenient deceive by the water? Bds to tell the truth.


About the rest, other than the major fan service and Saki’s blushes. Nice to see while Yuka/Rinko are having fun that Saki looks worried here. While it was nice to see her in that pink robe, it was not so with her attitude here. WTF peeking here? Well that’s not nice. Good thing that surfer catches on, while the sister cleans. It was nice to have surfer bring the towels but due to his gender lets out a blush that betrays Natsumi into throwing him that bucket. Nice to see the older sister wondering WTF is the racket about only to find nothing but still a nice blushed face. Seems that surfer had enough so had to rest, nice seeing that. Sadly it amounting to surfer being sick was not something I though would occur. Loved seeing the gang eating in the spoiler
while Saki writes down stuff since she is a ghost.

Loved the night part with the girls in the spoiler
and it was funny how Saki went about as a ghost to sleep. As if that was not enough surfer wonders about stuff here, magical mid air teeth brushing is weird and of course the sudden writing. The different outings from the ship to the store to the zoo in the spoiler
were all fun to see and enjoy. Character expressions were nice. Loved seeing Saki’s face pull on Yuka being invisible of course so it was funnier to see it on her. The final part in the infirmary in the spoiler
was nice once again for the character expressions however the best is the following,

The drama scene between the 2 was very nice and appreciated for drama. So in thee end it all resolves and the gang is out in the spoiler
back home they go. A sure fun adventure this was and a good relaxing for the girls. I still WTF at the whole Saki ghost gag but it worked out to show her body so it’s fine by me.

About preview, so I see more Yuka in the spoiler
from reading to spying again? Oh Yuka, such mischievous little girl.

I find Saki so... flexible? I mean she can go naked in a broad daylight.
Did she not think about suddenly becoming visible on the taxi or the boat?

Otherwise good episode.

Seems Natsumi took it that way when she threw that bucket and yes that girl looks like a guy tomboyish at most. Hence I mistook for a guy.

I corrected that BTW but I still think the surfer is highly easy to take for a guy.

this episode is definitely an improvement from last week

lol at all the dark / tan kids and the big rock's COUSIN??? xDDD

and i totally WTF'd at koharu being a girl. i like her tsundere personality, though.

and i still dont want saki to move, despite there being such nice people in that town. i'm with natsumi on just letting saki stay at her house, but it really wouldn't just be that easy :/

yuka's idiocy and anoyingness is always something to look forward to every episode x]

wtf? they didn't bother trying to clear up that thing about how they got away with or how they were able to explain Saki appearing out of nowhere in front of the twins..

also, second troll rock out of nowhere inserted in this semi-independent arc without any sufficient explanation so that they could use their signature episode plot maker? unless it's a foreshadowing of a possible ending that i could think of involving that second troll rock, i am not happy at what they've done in this episode..

i may not have complained about the lack of the origin and rules of them rocks as they are unnecessary for this type of story and they add to the wonder of them rocks, but using them to make convenient story events without putting in mind its contribution to the larger story or to the general reaction of the characters they are trying to involve them with is not good..

Koharu intentionally has a misleading gender, not just for the viewers. She turned out to be very similar to Natsumi... so now the latter has a rival >.>

A mostly good episode. At various moments during the episode, I felt there was excessive crankiness. And the loud eagerness of some of the islanders didn't help.

But when I push those negatives aside, there was a lot here to enjoy. The intensity of Rin's feelings for Yuka really came through when they were alone in the hot springs, as she didn't seem to blink, let alone look away from Yuka. It was interesting to see how the elder twin was good-natured and even-tempered but beneath the surface, she felt just as strongly as her sister did about the island's doctor. And their emotional release was enough to tip Natsumi over, which finally gave Saki what she needed to re-materialize.

It made me wonder though, what will Natsumi do with her window after Saki moves? Is she going to be able to look out through it? Will she board it up?

This show's taken a simple setting — a friend moving away — added a little magic, and come up with something pretty good.

Silly, but effective. I felt it got its point across very well.

The Rock? Maybe it was the same rock. Maybe it followed them and landed in the hot spring bath. I think it likes them enough to do such a thing. Maybe it will miss Saki as well.

The rock has a cousin and he creates funny situations like the other one.

Koharu is a girl, it's the second girl I mistook for a boy this season, come on.

Seems like Saki is ready to move to the island, let's see if Natsumi can really accept that.

The drama with the doctor was forced in my opinion, I couldn't take it serious but I can imagine that he is a really close person to everyone on the island.

The faces looked good after last week's disaster, still makes laugh so hard when I see that one shot on the boat.

So this Koharu "guy" is actually a girl, a tomboy! Can't believe Saki actually turned invisible. It's like she wanted to disappear. Everyone didn't even question the fact that Saki wasn't with them on the trip and that she just suddenly appeared naked. It was kinda unrealistic. xD

So in de end Koharu was being rude and irritated because of the fact the old doctor would be replaced and not because she didn't like the new people.

I think I'm in love with rin. She wonky as **** but she actually glues the whole group together. Some of the stuff in the episode is a bit too melodramatic, but I guess middle school girls are prone to these situations (like the whole explanation of harvesting middle school girls because they are at the cusp of sexuality and are highly volatile emotionally. Forgot from what series though).

The whole "she has bigger boobs than we do" thing with the tanned sister was hilarious though. Love those tan lines by the way, in anime and in real life, it's excessively sexy but only if it's natural.

Should've known invisibility was the next trick in the book to happen. Lol at Rinko trolling them to pose for a picture when she was taking a video. What boggles me is why Saki never worried about being naked the whole time. So daring. She could've materialized in an open public space and caused a scandal. Good thing Natsumi was well prepared, and only girls were the witnesses.

Also, the twins were only surprised at first. They probably know something about the abnormal powers of their own rock. Maybe those two rocks are linked, and could end up like terminal portals or something to allow for some quick travel later on. Crazy, but then again nothing but crazy things have been happening for most of the other episodes.

A twist on the usual 'cute girls doing cute things'. Cute girls doing crazy things.

Wow wonder how it feels for Saki to just walk around town naked like that. Especially since no one can see her and it doesn't cause her major embarrassment.

Oh so Koharu is actually a girl... The town seems pretty cool but it'd still suck to see Saki not being with this group.

Huh, so Koharu turned out to be a girl afterall. I thought she was being a little selfish towards the previous island's doctor, consider his feelings towards his circumstances.

Quite surprised at how Saki adjusted to being invisible. She seemed to not mind being naked around everyone everywhere: inside, outside, on a boat, taxi and in school. I wonder just how many of these magical rocks exist. Maybe it could be any rock but it needs the level of friendship that these characters share in order to make these phenomenons happen.

The transfer practice crushed almost all my hopes of Saki not moving. After that scene, the last episode will have to show how it happens for real...Still, the wish granting stone is there to be abused to hell and it's not like this would be the first show to pull off an ending undoing the message it conveyed through the episodes (and since I doubt this show would ever achieve critic's acclaim regarding the story, the creators might as well please the happy end lovers). The episode itself was okay 3/5.

About next episode's typhoon, it won't get animated or it'll be crappy so don't raise your hopes too much.
Honestly speaking, I would prefer this show being 10 or 11 episodes long instead with better quality per episodes, some signs are so obvious it's almost killing me...

I loved this episode! Saki turning invisible was so symbolic, and there was so much character growth here overall! Very well done, with a nice dose of fan-service to spice up a meal made mostly of emotion!

Saki is amazing!

Does anybody have any theories as to why Saki was having a nosebleed right before she went invisi? Was she aroused looking at her yuri love, or is it something else?

This post is like a year and a half old at this point, but it gave me a pretty good chuckle so thanks for the laugh.

Anyhow, it's looking like it really will end with Saki moving away. Seeing as how I watch these types of shows for the happy and easygoing aspect of them, it's not something I'm very much looking forward to. I mean, I get that real life isn't always so sunshine and rainbows but still...

This episode admittedly gave me some feels.

Funny that the twins didn't question when Saki suddenly came out of nowhere.

For some reason, I've been finding it fun, rather than annoying, when I inevitably say, "Dangit, Yuka" every episode. Though the other rock seemed a tad contrived.

Koharu got quite the eyeful. Unfortunately, Koharu seems super annoying, and is undeserving of such a sight. I'm glad she got pelted, girl or not.

Other than that: There were a lot of good moments this time around. A strong blend of humor and drama. Seems like the series has really been stepping up these past couple episodes.
