So I thought about doing poll about popularity of all characters this late in the series.

So - Who do you like the most and why? Is there someone you hate?

Please vote and share your opinion in the comments.

Chisaki

But gave my vote to Tsumugu because people don't understand this man. He's a saint. The man with 1000 advices who continuously bestow his wisdom onto his comrades when they're in need. And he is only a phone call away. What a guy.

Wow Hikari is not even in Top 3 it's the complete opposite of the other poll.

Voted for Hikari the most developed character.

Poor Kaname seems like he is the least liked main character of this series well he will be a great character if he stops chasing after hopelessly after Chisaki.

My favourites in order:
1. Chisaki is my all time favourite, because I feel like I can relate to her alot with changing to a better person.

2. Tsumugu is my second favourite, because I find him very interesting and episode 20 just sealed the deal for that. He's talk with Miuna was nice. Hopefully we will get to know more about his past.

3. 3rd is Hikari, because when the serie first started I actually hated him, but he kept maturing in a good way.

4. Manaka
5. Sayu
6. Miuna

And atleast Kaname, after the timeskip everything about him went downhill for me.

Most developed character - Hikari
What I voted - Miuna, cause I totally love her characterization, could empathize her.
-

I've always... always been watching you... This whole time... Because you were there... That's why I was able to try hard. So you could have some balance! So you wouldn't treat me like a kid! So you would see me as an actual girl! Even while you were gone... You were right here! You were right here in my heart!

1) Chisaki: I can really feel for her and she has it really hard to be honest. Although some people may have different views on her, you got to understand that she had the most strongest wish to be together with everyone and even going as far as hoping things will never change but yet she has changed partially during the time skip and now she is in a state where she is unsure of what to do.

I'm looking forward to see how who she ends up with although Hikari and Tsumugu are the likely candidates with Kaname unfortunately hasn't really been showing much but you never know as this show is going all over the place with these shippings but that is the suspense I like about this series.

2) Hikari: Most developed character in my opinion throughout the whole series as he has really changed a lot during the pre times and even through the time skip so his final development is something that I am looking forward to and with the events of episode 20, it is happening sooner than I thought.

3) Tsumugu: I have to say that he is the most gentle and calm character throughout the entire cast as despite the way how he behaves and looks, he is actually restricting himself and this has been shown severely after the time skip. While in episode 19, it confirms his feelings and even then, he thinks about everyone and this is really hitting him and even ponders his own characteristic as shown in episode 20.

To be honest, all characters have their difficult ways of overcoming walls and it's about how they deal with it. Miuna and Sayu feel out of place and are wondering whether they actually belong to the 'Hikari and others group'. On the other hand, the main cast struggles with the sudden changes that has affected their lives so it really is hard to say who is the most popular character at this time of the series.

I may come back to this as I am writing this with the knowledge of the recent episode 20 so perhaps my views may change when the series finishes which will be interesting to see!!!

Everyone say that Hikari changed so much but I'm afraid I don't see that. He doesn't have years to change, only few days or weeks at least. Anyone cares to explain how excatly he had changed and why he is so popular? He was such a brat before time-skip and now, well, let's say I don't think he grew up so much to be in leading position.

Chisaki on the other hand.. she is acting very mature lately (while trying to find her lost childhood in her adulthood I would say) but that's to be expected. And Tsumugu is Tsumugu, always thoutful type and he's also very caring (anyone noticed how he discreetly waited for Chisaki till he went out in the last episode? Yes, he holds her precious, that's for sure). As such, I love those two characters the most.

At the same time it's nice to watch how Miyu moved into Chisaki's position post time-skip. She is the third character I like the most, mainly because of how she manages to analyze situation she's in and feelings she has. Sayu is also good character, one you can rely on when you have trouble. She has her own feelings too but I think the base for it is simply her desire to have place she can belong to.

As for Kaname - he's nothing but jealous and hopeless cockblock lately. It's so agonising to watch how he ridicules himself everytime all over again. Even Chisaki sees him only as a friend she can talk to. It's only about to be seen if his despair leads to any desperate action in the future.

And Manaka... well, Manaka is Manaka. She will always be clueless no matter what happens. I just hope her whining and indecision doesn't ruin the rest of the show for all of us. But I am all too eager to see all those situations her awakening will leads to.

Well I'm only on episode 12, so as of now, my favorite is Hikari, closely followed by Kaname. Hikari just has the most character development, and he's grown so much. Of course, because Kaname was the only reasonable one to begin with, there wasn't much room for him to change and develop.

Hikari>Kaname>Manaka>Tsumugu>Chisaki>Rest

Oh and Uroko is pretty cool too.

I don't understand why he's so popular either. He's changed a bit, but most of the time he's still the same annoying brat he was at the beginning.

Kaname is my favorite character because he's the most relatable as a person for me. He reacts the most realistically. He's been the supportive the best friend and also the gutsy guy in the group when he felt like things needed to move forward. An example is when they visited the old underwater classroom and he made Hikari confess to Manaka beause he knew Chisaki was going to confess to Hikari. Lots of people saw it as a dick move to keep Chisaki from confessing to Hikari but that was something Manaka needed to know. I felt for him when Chisaki was angry at him for that when Chisaki wasn't exactly a saint in regards to her jealousy of Manaka either while hoping Manaka would leave the sea for Tsumugu. Kaname has been calm for the most part and him snapping at Tsumugu is a natural reaction after everything he's gone through. he's also being very patient still waiting for Chisaki to give him an answer.

I remember when I was the only one voted for Kaname and the others already had 5 votes or more. Glad to know now I'm not the only Kaname fan.

Are you sure you're not saying this because you're worried about TsumuguxChisaki?

Yes, Kaname is jealous of Tsumugu, but everyone does the same since everyone's love is unrequited. Yes, he's hopeless since Chisake never ever saw him as a man. Isn't that frustating? Yet, he still tries his best to make Chisaki fall for him.

But that's not all he does lately. He was being supportive, he helped Hikari to search for Manaka and Tsumugu's whatever-project, etc. Which part of his action that ridicules himself? Saying that he likes Chisaki again, patiently, even if still no answer like before? Confronting Tsumugu after holding back his feeling? I, too, worried if he someday self-destructs himself. But for now, despite being in despair, he's calm and composed for a 14 year old boy.

If anything, I feel like author would make him forever alone character or something. When Hikari woke up, Tsumugu and Miuna were with him. The same with Manaka. But when Kaname woke up, he was all alone lol. And there's no indication that he'd move on from liking Chisaki even if he has (almost) no chance.

For me, it's like...
Kaname > Hikari > Chisaki = Miuna = Sayu > Fish > Manaka = Tsumugu

Most: Chisaki, because she has most depth in character development (her resistance to change but she was forced to change) and she still fights with a lot of internal issues.

She is the most realistic character to me. Watching her struggle can be annoying but who doesn't struggle with change?

Least: Hikari. He's just honestly annoying to me. Sometimes he has progress as a character maturing but his temper tantrums and not getting what he wants is irritating. He's so close minded. Only cares about Manaka really. Sigh.

Is there an all of the above lol? I think they are all very deep and relatable for the most part. This show has a terrific cast for sure. however, manaka hasn't changed like at all since the beginning of the show which kind of annoys me, and Kaname seems to have just become a depressed, jealous prick compared to the insightful friend he was before. But whatever, the characters all have their highs and lows which is what makes them so strong. personally I like Chisaki, Hikari, Miuna and Tsumugu the most because of the struggles they've been dealt with. Also Akira because he's super cute lol.

Akari was the best character in the first half of the show, but she doesn't really have much of a role in the show anymore. I loved the whole conflict of her marriage with Itaru. It really helped propel the story forward. How her father came to terms with it was touching and how the sea god reacted to it was the pinnacle of the show. Akira felt more like a main character than a support one in the first half of the season.

Yeah, in a way he reminds me of Shun from Shinsekai Yori (though I guess he will not end so tragically here). But seeing Chisaki side by side Kaname in the latest episode and judging from how she is oblivious to Tsumugu's feelings, I start to fear that she is getting into the same position as Kaname, and the worse, that there won't be no romance in the end, just mutual friendship and reconciliation.

Manaka.

I can understand why she isn't particularly loved.. she can be a bit annoying at times and she cries a lot. But I love her character so much. She's so innocent. I can't say that her character developed a lot - but I do think development was there. I remember being so happy, proud, and sad when she saved Akari and sacrificed herself at the Ofunehiki event. I don't think many people could do that.

She just has a huge, open heart. It breaks my heart to see the recent episode and she knows something is missing but she doesn't know what. And the waves that are tormenting her..

I think she definitely is some kind of pillar to the group. She is beautiful, sweet, naive, funny, and just charming. Yeah, I really love her. > .<

I have nothing but love for Chisaki since episode 1. (even when I'm mad at her, it's because I care about the character)

And I have supported her and Tsumugu since episode 9. (Where Tsumugu told her he liked her the way she is, which is the moment that I knew they'll eventually wind up together)

That ain't happening in real life(to me). If someone like Tsumugu tried to do that and stole what's suppose to be mine, he'll get dropped.

I mean, Tsumugu is unlikely to appeal to those people who are similar in nature and acts ("cool, calm, doesn't show much expression, silent") (I'm not talking about anime, i talking about us, about real people)

Now that I've watched 25 eps, I can finally say Miuna is my favorite character. Used to think Manaka was the most cute with her innocent personality, but Miuna outshine her to me.

She's just like how Chisaki described at eps 19, putting all her feelings to Hikari, caring so much to him, but couldn't take the final step to get together with him.

Really loving how she cares so much to Hikari although she knew her place, not being able to break in between him and Manaka.

though with all that said, what i voted was Chisaki, because she's the most pitiful character along with Kaname.
