| The feels were strong in this one. I really hope hikari and manaka stay friends though, i'm rooting for Hikaru and chisaki.. chisaki best girl :< |
| Getting ridiculously complicated ... A love chain as long as Ano Natsu de Matteru |
BakaGekai said: A love chain as long as Ano Natsu de Matteru I can't help comparing Kename to Tetsuro (when he told Kaito about Kanna) The beginning was epic. Especially since we learned that the lolis have actual crushes (yay, I'm not seeing things!). Even though I think they are just that - crushes - my inner HikariXMiuna shipper did a moonwalk around me in circles while humming a circus melody. Bestest scene of this episode: The father daughter talk in the cafe |
| I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl |
| That was soooo good! I understand Manaka but its still annoying. So we got...Manaka X Tsumugu & Chisaki X Tsumugu going on here... How things went down Chisaki X Hikari is unlikely and Kaname...maybe he'll wake up to a adult Sayu XD |
| Holy shoot!!! Its a love...pentagon? |
| First of all, this is a really beautiful episode. But I hope they made it longer or probably split into two different episode. If only they gave more time of Akari and her father moments and a nice flashback of the three of them living together would brings more impact and giving more dimensions to 'dad' character and the family in surviving the mother's death. The second half is really interesting as Kaname showed up his part of selfishness and drop the poker face of the screen. He is really trying hard and desperate to gain Chisaki's affections, even if she will hate him after pushing their confessions. He was a catalyst, a victim and a villain of the show. This show never ceased to exceeded my expectations. One of few shows that I really looking forward to every week, and I'm glad they made it over twenty episodes. edit: damn typo |

| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| this show is so frustrating.. |
 |
| nice episode so kaname really like chiisaki hmm :/ I wonder what happen next and who is the 'first' |
| wow, the drama is thicker than everyone's ena! i can't believe how these relationships have been dragged out to this degree. i don't like manaka and the land boy, he's such a dull character but i guess they are meant for each other. what a blah ship though. as dramatic as it is and the whole end to the episode just adding to that i really do enojy this series. teheheehehe |
| First time meeting of Akari's father and Miuna. Haha Miuna called him Grandpa, his reaction XD So that was Tsumugu's mom. I think Kaname wants all of them to confess their feelings. I feel sad for Chisaki. Tsumugu caught Manaka again. |
| I don't agree with what Kaname did, but I understand why he did it. If I'm interpreting this right then this is how it goes Kaname>Chisaki>Hikari>Manaka>Tsumugu>Chisaki so no one loves Kaname :'( He had to throw himself in the middle of it or he risks being left behind. It's a tough decision to make. By doing this he could potentially make Chisaki hate him, but if he doesn't he'll regret that he didn't do anything for the rest of his life. |
| 5/5 Good story, but it makes me wince heart, I expected something by Kaname, the only one who really has the strength to break through this veil of indecision that enveloped the group of four boys. Also nice that you be given space to Tsumugu too often left aside, although not him perhaps the centerpiece of the story. I am convinced that there will be hibernating, to reshuffle the cards and changing forces in the field, I'm so anxious to see what will be changed after hibernation! * _ * Very nice drawings, even the good part of the story at the end of the episode. Plot that spins away that is a pleasure, but I want more space for the events of Tsumugu. |
 |
| Must admit, this shows keeps going from strength to strength. Kaname must of wanted some extra screen time the way he dropped that bombshell, but tbh I do understand why he did it. He's like the middle man of the group, he's not been as influential on the story but he's had his moments, he's also the most mature (in my opinion anyway) think of how he told Chisaki, in front of her parents he likes her, how manly LOL This episode was pretty dramatic, the father-daughter talk was really nice, I think Akari's father knows her heart is in the right place and has gradually accepted the marriage as not only an inevitability but the right thing for Akari. Hikari waving a flag (what a guy) say no more! The classroom was a pretty decent scene, Kaname had to break down these barriers that the gang were holding up. I'm guessing he doesn't have much care for relationships changing, because that's what everyone has real objections about. He's the only one who's been honest at the start, and it's finally forced Hikari (which he did brilliantly) to confess to Manaka, as well as Chisaki to confess to Hikari. My guess is when Chisaki saw how Hikari really felt for Manaka he could reel himself in but now he looks like he got friendzoned. When Hikari sat down, I did think it was the right thing to do, and he and Chisaki are similarish, both have been developing at the same speed. Manaka is slightly growing, but it's abit long winded, but I can understand why, remember when she said she wanted to protect Hikari instead of him protecting her, it'll definitely take her time. Then Manaka gets caught again, typical cyclical nature to make it even more interesting for episode 13 luvly jubbly!! |

She probably won't get anywhere, but its something. But seriously, I don't really get why some people view Tsumugu as liking Chisaki, or even vice versa. In terms of a potential couple from wishful thinking, that's fine. But at this point, in terms of concrete evidence, Tsumugu has shown no signs of liking Chisaki, and the only real thing Chisaki has done is get flustered when their arms touched, that's it. |

Gotta love Sayu, but I don't see anything concrete between Chisaki and Tsumugu, all i saw was them reconciling after she was upset at what he said (which I forgot). Sayu is the funniest character tho ;)) |
| Two thing I love in this episode : 1) Tsumugu x Chisaki moment 2) Tsumugu caught Manaka again like in the beginning LOL |

| Steadily becoming my favourite anime of the season.. |
| Tsumugu: "Finally I have free time to fish again" *throws the net in the sea Tsumugu: "Woah looks like I caught a big one tonight" *Reels the net Tsumugu: "Oh.....its her again -_-" |
  |
| I got a possible theory, Kaname is somewhat really significant... the instabilities of the Sea might be related to his emotions. First of all, His name Kaname (要) means main, pivot, vital point. It has a figurative meaning "key person" or "important thing" that makes everyone/everything put together. It's just a theory of mine though, I'm not sure if the author of Nagi no Asukara hid the "main" secret plot in Kaname's name or maybe it's just coincidence. ＾＾ (p.s. Manaka runs again ugh) |
| Finally, confessions, confessions everywhere! I can't wait to see next episode >< I wonder if we're getting a time skip sometime soon? |

whitehairgirls said: Madara31 said: whitehairgirls said: I don't understand why so many of you hate or find Manaka annoying. I think the way she is acting is normal and reasonable. Not too long ago she was a crybaby who relied on her friends. She is changing for the better, but do you guys really expect her to change into a strong character in such a small amount of time? Give her some time and she too will also change like Hikari. Also I loved how the 2 cool and calm guys showed emotion this episode. Kaname showing frustration when he found out Tsumugu went to the city with them and then the scene with the school. Tsumugu also showed uneasiness in front of his mom. Personally, her being a crybaby who relied on her friends is enough for me to dislike her. But regarding her situation, I just don't see what there is to not understand or be scared about, and she's been this way since the beginning. If Hikari can change in that amount of time, Manaka can too, or at least she could stop running away from everything that negatively surprises her, but she's still the same annoying baby she was at the start. But Hikari was just an arrogant and naive kid. It is much harder to transition from a person that relied on others to an independent person than what Hikari did. I mean she is improving, she did go back to the surface to meet with Tsumugu after running away. I say give her time. She will change. Also I don't mind crybabies once in a while. I don't want every single character to be strong in an anime, it makes it dull and boring since there wouldn't be much character development. Assuming she likes Tsumugu, she doesn't make sense. I mean, they barely get any screen-time alongside each other, and haven't known each other for long. I understand that love isn't always rainbows and kittens, but he has barely shown any affection towards her, whereas she has been relying on Hikari for ages, and completely rejects his affection. Not only that, she always runs away instead of giving people straight answers. If you don't have feelings for someone, fine -- but at least have the decency to reject them. |
| This episode was okay for me but the fact that everyone is so indecisive and the whole love triangle is driving me mental xD But I found it really nice how they all lately have been acknowledging the risks with this whole event, actually maturing and its not a case of "I love you" relationship instantly. It has really developed but its a shame manaka didn't grow up as much compared to the rest, I feel bad for her running but y'know it gets frustrating to see your favorite couple together then her running off every single time. Gah. Next episode tomorrow! :3 |
| I just can't wait for the next episode. Ughhh this anime gets all my feels. Not good for my mental health ( ；´Д｀) |
 |
| http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aa43yXQtgfk Did anyone else find this scene particularly wrong :P? |
 |
Sourire said: this show is so frustrating.. Yup |
| Another great episode with a lot of drama. I nearly teared up at one scene. |
 |
Madara31 said: So Saya and Miuna have feelings for Kaname and Hikari respectively. They'll probably get nowhere with that but oh well. More of this "I'm scared" and "I don't understand" BS from Manaka, she's probably the most annoying character this whole season. Chisaki and Hikari finally confessed and it looks like we're learning more about Tsumugu, which is good cuz he seems really interesting. I only hope that he doesn't have feelings for anyone, it would seriously ruin his character. I agree, Manaka just runs and cry, cry, cry, cry.... really annoying. |
| They look like a love train, aiming for the carriage in front and not the back, never corresponding to each others feelings. |
| Nice episode. Ooh, she got caught in the net once again :P |
 |
| 3/5 |
| Love the OST of this episode :) Well, that escalated quickly (I'm sorry I just had to say it) jarylc said: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aa43yXQtgfk Did anyone else find this scene particularly wrong :P? That did not even look like *clears thoat* dry humping... but the scene right after that would make sense if it actually happened... man why am I even talking about this? |

| I feel sorry for Kaname. |
 |
| Wow, this story. I'm taking is quite seriously so far and it is pretty decent so far. Still don't know shit about it, need moar explanation. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| The scenery is so beautiful in this show. I think Kaname went a bit too far but I guess it had to happen eventually. I think Manaka is started to like Hikari on top of also liking Tsumugu. |
| I think Kaname was justified in his actions, throughout the anime he's kept quiet and hasn't had any emotional outbursts, so it's only fair that he gets a chance to speak up. Even if it was a little rude, his intentions were well, and served as a catalyst to all the characters saying how they truly felt. Kaname's a kid too, just because he's been pretty passive throughout the series doesn't mean he can't have feelings too. |
| Great episode. A lot of building up happening over the past episodes. The next episodes are probably gonna be awesome. |
 |
| That pedo assault at the start :D Kimono glowing with Ena looked really cool Akane had a good conversation with her dad at the café The scenes of Shioshishio were stunning again Chains of love at the end with Tsumugu fishing up Manaka again rounds it up |
| I pretty much had the same reaction as the bartender to Akari and her dad's conversation. I'm really worried there's gonna be some much sadder moments to come. Argh, four episodes back to back is gonna be harsh on me. :( And it looks like all but one confession is out of the bag now. I really can't decide on who's gonna end up with who, if any at all... I feel like Kaname is going to get the short end of the stick though. I understood what she meant, but I still found it pretty funny when Manaka thought "When did Hikari become a guy?" |
| Beautiful cliffhanger at the end, just like first episode but at night. Really good ep! |
