| Love the new girl and her red hair. Seems like a great new friend for Ruri. |

| Man, it can be rough to find people who share your passion, fortunately the internet makes that a lot easier these days. I look forward to Seto joining the team. |
| Really interesting episode. I did not know there's so much to study about trash, but I realize it's only natural that geology and mineralogy would include man-made objects that get mixed into nature. Stories like Shouko's make me anxious about becoming some kind of teacher. Some small, thoughtless action like "let's throw that way and go back inside" can discourage a child from "choosing their path" and maybe change the course of their lives for the worse... |
| After last week’s weak episode, this one was a big step up. Hori directed his first TV episode, and Uchiyama did his first solo AD work. The result was great, the episode looked fantastic. Hori brought Shinpei Sawa’s SB to life, and Uchiyama’s style was clear from start to finish. Hori and Uchiyama, who often worked together on Madhouse projects, brought in a strong crew, which you can see in the credits. To top it off, they made a special ending for this episode, featuring some amazing drawings by Ryo Imamura. |

| Seto Shoko now gets to be a main character and I like her. Her parents suck trying to push on her even as a kid what she should do for a career based on what brings in money. Capitalism tries to hinder souls. I like different bottle designs too so Id probably enjoy finding neat little old bottles. Maybe I should remember this might be possible if I ever am near a beach some time. |

| Shouko is such a nice addition to the cast. It's always a great feeling to have someone to bond with over shared hobby. Finally the name drop! Researcher in the making? You are damn right. |

| Beautiful episode right from the start till the finish ✨💖💙 Too many breathtaking scenes. I guess Studio Bind did a better job with the animation for Ruri Rocks than Mushoku Tensei. Two seasons back, Studio Bind did a splendid job with Flower and Asura and now Ruri Rocks. They are growing as a fine studio..❤️❤️ Shoko is such an adorable kid. Finally, Imari got an episode to shine and ended up being a role model for Shoko like Nagi did for Ruri. Even Ruri and Shoko have their names named after Glass ❤️❤️ And that new ed was a nice finishing touch. Shoko and Ruri are gonna Rock as friends.. This show makes me wanna drop my career and choose mineralogy as my new path xD |

| Little Shouko was absolutely adorable. It was so heartwarming to see Shouko discover that the world of minerals that fascinated her as a child is not a dream and she can study it, and that there are others who share her interests. With her addition, the group has grown and Ruri now has a new companion. Just as Nagi got Ruri to be her future kouhai, it looks like things could go the same way for Imari with Shouko. |

This episode finally made Imari shine, as she was basically the star of the episode alongside Seto.
| @MadanielFL Great point! Somehow I missed that while watching, but it completely makes sense now why I had struggled to connect with Imari in previous episodes. Ruri thinks of her as too bookish and so that's how she came across to me before, but Seto admires her for that quality and I finally feel like I can understand Imari's motivations, now. |
| Another perfect episode in a truly standout show! Loved the intro of our new mineralogist in the making! Great simple backstory too along with interactions on the beach with our main cast. Continuing to appreciate the learning aspect of the show. Can't wait for next episode! |
| A new character who isn't annoying like Ruri. Too bad the subtitle did not clarify that Ruri = lapis lazuli. |
