very relaxing atmosphere, some fancy water animation & nice art, with shoujo eyes. Looks like a fun school, tho they're pretty tall thought they'd be college/adults.
Yuri weird faces remind me of kokuhaku no pandora.

Better than Flying witch but I'm not sold just yet although I like Aria. Kozue Amano sure puts a lot of SD faces into her manga and they managed to leave it even in anime. Even her classic buttcat is here.

Hikari seems to be bit weird but I guess it takes some getting used to. Now I really wonder what their future adventures will be.

And Kayano Ai is precious as always here.

It's kinda nice to watch a lighthearted anime between all this mafia and action stuff, especially one for my yuri ships. The eyes in certain frames remind me of the eyes in Nana too. And it's weird seeing such a long and colourful school outfit from the typical short skirt black and white outfit in anime, but it's pretty.
I'm gonna like this anime already, no matter if it's good or bad because of my shipping, the pretty animation, and the cute girls.

Reading through those comments really made me think why people want it to be Yuri so badly but oh well. The interactions between the characters are simple yet so beautiful. I hope they will be best friends and explore tha worldd.

I really got a Flying Witch vibe tho. Relaxing and soothing episode.

Loved it.

It is gathered once the aspects they have in common the Aria and this series. Excellent as an early, quiet, nice and sweet. Excellent designs and animations. The characters are not new, but nice and with a different characterization from the usual (at least if we talk about the teacher) Hikari is irritating but good in his role as protagonist.



Cute ! >_<

This really gave me the same feeling like Aria did, and not for nothing after all, from the atmosphere, ost, characters, faces and just everything that this anime is reminded me of Aria!

Really lovely start and I'm sure that I'm going to love this series.

That was quite good. Nice contrast with the peppy Hikari and the shy Futaba.

I hope, that they cut down on the derp faces.

I don't have the immediate feeling of extreme comfort I got from Flying Witch with this show, but I sure do like the facial expressions. I hope Hikari and Futaba go scuba-diving together and continue to have yuri-rific blushing moments.

The teacher gave some great advice too: "Eat, sleep, and have fun to your life's content."

Hikari reminds me of Amuro from Kenkou Zenra-kei Suiei-bu Umishou both are energetic & optimistic goofy girls & both love water difference one is in to diving & other is in to swimming

Nope. It doesn't.


it is even if it hints to Yuri cause it wasn't simple embarrassment Futaba had she reacted to Hikari like girl would a a guy in this situation so they are either Bi or lesbians (& they just don't realize it yet) & that =Yuri :)

its indirect Yuri/light Yuri that means it hints to Hikari x Futaba romance but doesn't show that development just hint that they feel that way for each other that's almost as good as real Yuri. so if its like this hints for Yuri romance then its indirect Yuri/light Yuri & that means u can call it Yuri to

& this is hinting to this direction


IF THIS ISN'T YURI THEN WHAT IS :)

i know they mite decide to ignore it next season & friend-zone them, but that doesn't mean there weren't any Yuri here i have seen anime's like this before that even have Yuri Tag well not Yuri but Shoujo Ai Genre cause yuri is under it & the anime is as weak with Yuri stuff as this anime so if the other anime is weak Yuri & is considered Yuri then this is as well, u have a problem not me (reverse delusions) :)

also a lot of ppl see that is Yuri majority, i guess issue is that Manga is different cause this ppl who deny the Yuri part a lot of them Mention manga but anime & manga aren't always 100% match & sometimes they go different routs

despite that what was shown in the anime this season was Yuri, they did weak Yuri just to avoid issues with them its not first time i see weak Yuri like this that's how i can tell its Yuri its not delusion its experience from seeing other Yuri anime's including anime's with weak Yuri :)

there are a lot of ppl who say same thing it was Yuri they just don't bother arguing with u

it seems ur huge Amanchu manga fan who can't accept that type of a change in hes beloved story i have seen the type before with other series when they make certain changes they don't like they deny it but if it shows strongly enough that they can't deny then they whine about it & right new u seen to be that type manga fan so i don't have issue u have u cant accept that its true or u just want to Troll

u should stop that denial :)

EDIT:
well u don't have anything smart left to say (no arguments left) only attack so i wont bother responding to u :)

Well that's a good start !

I already read the first chapters so the beginning wasn't a surprise to me but it was good to see it with the voices and the music.
Hikari is adorable, I love optimistic girls. And the shy Futaba is very cute too.

I can already tell that this is gonna be one of those anime that's going to make me feel things.

It's a real shame to see that this series didn't receive more attention. I suppose Amano's works are destined to remain as hidden gems here in the west. With that aside, I love all the of the references to Aria, especially the chibi faces!! Glad to see that J.C. Staff can handle her style just as well as Hal Film Maker. Spectacular first episode.

It's Kozue Amano's work. Those faces are to be expected, just like in Aria.

It's a bit laughable to see the girls having such detailed character designs while some of the male characters barely have two points for eyes xD

Lovely start overall. I find Hikari's chibi faces creepy yet cute at the same time but in general, I think her dorky behavior is quite endearing.

Turns out the author is a massive homophobe, and added a male love interest near the end SPECIFICALLY because they didn't like two female characters being shipped together, so that along with a ton of homophobic lines means this is a drop, shame on the mangaka

Great start. It feels soft and nice and, despite Pikari's antics, calm. I like Pikari's dorky faces and Futaba's adorable shyness.

Such a sweet heartfelt anime it seems. And I love snorkeling irl and dived occasionally, so I can relate too. I love their uniforms. Just like others pointed out, gives a big aria feel. Tho I do feel this is less boring (not necessarily that aria is, but it's SoL and not much happens) maybe it's cause Hikari is so energetic and the other is sweet shy. Just love their dynamic and fact that one searches for fun other clearly shows enthusiasm for scuba diving

Did you fill that in yourself or is it based on info?
Cause imho they just seem like sweet friends to me. It's how I treat my dearest close friends too who are more shy ^^ and that said I'm bi but didn't get ship feels. It's also not really a romance focused anime anyways. I'd say a guy got added for diversity :)

I don’t think this aria could top president aria though given that so far this won’t be as good
