| Mother nature really brings new wonders...especially under the rain. This episode felt like a blessing in disguise in terms of their research and exploration. Turns out, there's more than just opals they found. It's amazing what Mother Nature itself can do really. |

| oh man that opal scene is one of my favorites in the show. despite ruri's love for obtaining the shiny and glamorous rocks, i love that her first reaction to finding the opal "deposit'" was to just sit down and admire it. |

| The Opal scene was simply beautiful and so well done. |
| We don't know how good the average quality and coloration of those opals were but with so much quantity they could be set for a few years if they sold them. One of the girls was even worried whether it would not cause problem for them if they took some home, so I guess the japanese law on this question could be the same like in most countries - whatever is in the ground or comes from the ground that is the property of the state or in some cases that of the proprietor of the land. The notes in the middle of the anime might have given more information about this but this time they were not translated for some reason. |

Ruri seems cuter than usual in this episode but all highlight goes to Nagi-san on her maid outfit! I'd cherish every second of it Very beautiful episode especially with the opal scene, but I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't translate Nagi respite... |

| @YN_ON Victorians would probably be surprised to learn that years later the maid uniform would be considered a precious image rather than a servant's uniform. |

| Opal scene might be the most beautiful thing BIND have done yet. Y’all just don’t know what these girls mean to me man. This is one of those casts that just stay with you for life, BIND have done such a good job of bringing this story to life and it just oozes with love and personality. Every episode, even the most mundane shit just feels so sweet. I’m so happy Seto joined this cast because every scene with she and Ruri is so wholesome and you can tell they’re both so overjoyed to have girls their own age interested in the same things About time we got Nagi in some other outfits! She is too damn gorgeous to be stuck in those jeans and white button up every episode. Sundress Nagi added years to my life and MAID NAGI FIGURE WHEN??? She’s so stunning in everything, I know it saves time to have characters wearing the same things but please give us more styles |

My god this Anime is so f– beautiful. Nagi-san in Maid Outfit, I wasn't expecting that. Opal episode more like Oppai episode. |

| @YN_ON I wonder why, I noticed they failed to do it this week. |
| This episode was particularly stunning looking. And this series isn't just eye candy, it's so well directed as well. |

| Nagi sama! That bounce, holy! |
 |
| This anime never misses to put a smile on my face. From Ruri's dream to find opals to the rain then making a contribution, we were abel to witness such a large number of them with both Imari and Seto being involved. The bit surrounding Nagi's outfits was pretty cute as well and she didn't seem to mind whatever she was wearing for her... proportions. But yeah, the background art was great once again and all in all everyone was left satisfied by the results. |

maid outfit nagi is made to sit on faces bruh 😩 🥀 would take king arthur to pull me outta any of them fr  |
| Authentic. |
| Damn, what really happened with the animation it suddenly became so much better when it already has such a fine animation. The movements were so fluid especially Nagi's 😻😻😏 and the first half of the ep was full of fan service.. We're blessed to see Nagi wearing something other than her Shirt and pants. Arigato, Imari ! Nagi rocked in all of her outfits..❤️🔥❤️🔥 |

| @RobertBobert haha so true |
| am I the only one thinking that Nagi's maid uniform looks familiar. Like a very similar looking uniform |

| This episode was about Opals but men of culture would declare that this entire season was about Opais. |

| Oh man they brought their A team for this episode, so much fluid animation and beautiful art throughout, and of course it was the Nagi dress-up episode lol, the folks at Bind are incredibly cultured. And that really was such a good scene too, rocks are cool and all but you know what else is cool? Big bouncy boingers lol, can’t forget the rest of Nagi’s figure either, so I’m glad the opportunity was taken to dress her up in some different clothes. But the episode wasn’t just about Nagi’s fashion show, I really liked the focus on opals in this one too, and how the dam caused such an amazing discovery after heavy rainfall, another good example of the positive things our touch on nature can cause. But good lord what a spot that was, not sure how much opals go for but it’s certainly a sight these girls aren’t ever gonna forget, I’d say it’s among my favorite parts of the show so far too. |
| This week's episode represents a wonderful opportunity for Ruri to show viewers how far she's come in her journey; she's gone from being someone who followed a mentor along to find deposits of note, to being someone who can take the knowledge she has and synthesize a solution that lets her make discoveries. Besides this, the episode also gives Shouko her first magic moment, in seeing such a stunning opal deposit, one made with peers, rather than on her own. Regarding the maid outfit, I think that whole scene with Youko persuading Nagi to try different outfits is an anime-only moment, and I suspect that Studio Bind knows what the viewers like. |

| Ruri really got a lot of energy |
 |
| Flood control too, wow this show really has it all. |
 |
| I'm more of a Ruri fan, but Nagi in this episode was so pretty with all the different clothes, especially the maid one. Now I want a maid Ruri too Good episode |
  Imouto suki Tsundere-Chuuni-Imoutos save me...   |
| Absolute gorgeous beautiful episode, the scenes outside the library with the rain at night was stunning! And all the animation too, was kinda not expecting much more since there was a bit of a lack of it in the previous episode. And then again with the beautiful colors, but especially the directing and camera angles below the dam! Really makes you feel the scale of the location. |
| Studio Bind can do no wrong. The art is so crispy and clean. |
| Every episode beautiful |

Count me in. Looks like they’ll get at least 2 preorders!
| @FutoiOtaku @Marinate1016 They already have the initial series of figures with Nagi and Ruri. So if the show is popular enough, maybe in the future. |

| This anime just keeps getting better and better man, it's so beautiful. That opal scene was so beautiful and just everything about it was done to perfection. For sure one of my favorite scenes in this anime because of how nice it looked. 5/5 |
| Ruri is more to my taste (although even she had some decent impromptu poses in this episode), but one cannot deny the elegant gorgeousness of Nagi in each of those outfits, as were the opals individually and as one mass underwater. I appreciate how they included that dress-up segment though even if it's technically totally off-topic to the main premise and theme of the show. It's not afraid to occasionally have fun like that. There isn't a single TV series, even my top favorite and top-rated ones of all time, in which I don't prefer and consider some episodes better than others. Each episode that passes I "hope" for an episode which will be easiest to select and single out as the weakest, just in contrast to all the rest, but nine episodes in and it has proved tough. |
| What an amazing treasure trove Ruri found. Also, Nagi in the maid outfit was another sort of treasure :D |
