I liked Athena's song enough to overlook the sappy filler shots.

I feel like seeing all the faces from my past and present.. We're so attached to the past and remember it with warm feelings, always feeling like it was better than the present, and the senpais show a different view.. I needed to hear something like that.. that there are good times now as well.. "time is something that can be kind, as well as cruel by changing everything" "lots of small good moments will be born and disappear"..

The ending part before Akari runs to say her friends goodnight, she stands there watching them walk away... ahhh, what can I say, that moment was so beautiful. <3

It was really nice to see flashback.. Athena has a beautiful singing voice.. gotta find the singer's name.

gawd those were the sappiest last 5 minutes, in the most positive way.

H-help me... I WANNA GIVE THEM A HUG BUT MY SCREEN IS SEPARATING ME FROM THEM !!!

This episode has officially become my favorite. It was such a beautiful, moving one, I loved everything about it. And I could listen to Athena's singing all day and night... She is such a airhead but her voice is one of an angel, and I love how clearly happy she is when singing.
And finally, I think this episode just confirmed to me that Aika is best girl in my eyes. The way she comforted Akari was too precious.

Nice flashbacks. Athena's singing was the highlight. Her clumsiness was so hilarious again, haha.

Wonder, if our starting undines trio will be able to meet just as much, when they'll become full-fledged undines..
It was also fun in the past, hm.. Well, interesting.. No need to change things, hm?.. Just that the past was enjoyable, and the present is as well, even if it's different.. Because it has other enjoyable things..

I just love Alicia so much. The flashbacks are so wonderful to see! This episode was so cozy, stories around the fire with the snow falling outside.

Athena is so great, her singing, wow!

The feels the feels the feels....

This has probably been my favorite episode so far. Feeling sentimental and emotional. Some good quotes and points made here. I liked seeing the pasts of the three mentors. I teared up a little at the second part.

This ep was so beautiful!

Athena is so clumsy. Literally lol'd.

But when she started singing goosebumps.

I am really impressed by this episode. Aria had a slow and boring start but it is slowly showing me that this has been using well its potential to create a solid story.

I liked the episode, it was funny and entertaining. That rower is clumsy and seeing Akira impatient with her. "Stop with that nonsense."

In Episode 9, grandma says that the secret is having fun, but we go further in that fun times must be anchored in the now.

There's so much wisdom in this show, and to think some people call this the weakest season.
