| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- We start with two little boys playing a word game of sorts. They get hung up when one of the boys says computer and the other boy doesn’t know what that is. At the end, we learn that one of the voices was Wakkun (the other probably a young Ayumu). We find Ayumu and Wakkun by the river dumping rocks in (building a dam). Ayumu arrives at the market and finds Ryousuke who doesn’t seem to be very happy with him. The next day, Shione visits Ayumu and hands him a slip of paper with her phone number and email. It starts raining and Ayumu once again finds himself at the market with Ryousuke outside watching him. By the river, Wakkun is still trying to stack rocks in the river, but the dam breaks. Ayumu gets a ride home and that night, a light floats by his window. Ayumu visits the riverbank the next day to find no Wakkun and no rocks. He does meet Ryousuke, however, who follows him until he gets caught up by the old man’s dog. Across town, Shione boards a bus and sits down in front of Miki. Miki tries to start a conversation, but Shione is pretty cold and ends up saying that she hates Miki. Ayumu has a conversation with Miku the next day about Wakkun. The conversation ends when Ayumu sees one of the mechanical fairies. That night, Ayumu is talking to his mother and he remembers something about his youth. Suddenly, something smacks into his window. He drops the phone and watches it fly away. |

| I'm enjoying this show for the most part. It has this quiet, idyllic atmosphere that's enhanced by the BGM and visuals. It also has a mystery aspect similar to that of Haibane Renmei's. One thing that irks me though is the dialogue. It just seems... unnatural. The characters are always questioning how each other talk or cherry-picking words to comment on. "Don't stop in the middle of your sentence!" "If you already know, why ask?" "Don't say this, don't say that! (in a joking manner)" It's probably just nitpicking on my part, but it really annoys me for some reason. |

| This show lacks something. I think some humor and conversations that makes sense. |
