| Yikes, the way those penguins acted all fanatic was almost scary to see. Pretty intereting epsiode though. We got what seemed more like an episode of outdoors exploring adveture for Kukuru. Quite an experience for her to go outside the usual aquarium. |
 |
| Well Kukuru needed to clear her mind tho she should have told the others beforehand especially her boss. Anyway her time on that island was nice tho the truck they where traveling in was pretty badly affected by the sea climate. Hopefully the punishment for Kukuru won't be to bad when she gets back, she will have some explaining to do tho. |
| After everything that happened, Kukuru really needed that break. Those baby turtles were so cute.  |

| Sasuga P.A. Works for the visuals and the turtle hatching scene. Those scenes were very beautiful and impressive. The island that Kukuru has visited seems to be Iejima. She also learned a lot during this trip as well, in my opinion. Hopefully, she will not get any punishment, which in my opinion, she will get one because she was absent from her work without any permission. Anyway, Choco will join Tingara soon. I really hope there will doesn't have any penguins fighting between the newcomer from Gamagama and the current ones. |
真姫ちゃん！ 何が好き？ トマト よりも あ･な･た♡  |
| So from all she learned, all the strugle ... in the end she did the most childish thing imaginable, she ran away from everything without notifying anyone. Woman its time to think and act like an adult and not a spoiled child that got her job possition imidieatly after graduating cause your grandpa is a big boss in the business, some people would kill for what you got on a silver plate. Fucking hell. We getting a little bit too much anime with this. |
 |
| Kukuru LITERALLY crashed and burned out of work and pressure. The isolated dolphin is doing fine, but Kukuru took some time out of losing focus while giving everyone the silent treatment, that is to everyone except her best confidante Fuuka about Gama Gama's demolition. Umi-yan's wife is a studious professor though, with her coincidentally bumping into Kukuru on the road while doing her sea turtle fieldwork. Kukuru desperately needs a break to recoup of what she has done and let her mind wander freely while watching sea turtles in the small Kamehausu aquarium. Some practical tips from staff member Yamahara (which could help Kukuru in her work), and the sea turtie hatching scene was some good low-key sakuga. Choko and the gang are coming to Tingarla, that is good news. But to see a penguin fight, that's not good news and Popo got ripped quite badly, that's gotta hurt. This episode was some amazing, majestic sea turtle viewing. |
 |
| So, the whole show should be taken as a metaphor for the dangers of psychological immaturity and lack of support from friends if you yourself do not make an effort or what? |
 |
| Being lost in life direction is always a terrible thing. Its unfortunate that even with that sign people still trespass and leave rubbish behind that can potentially harm the turtles. After working there for so long and seeing it as the one place thats dearest to her heart seeing Gama demolished must have been a bitter blow. The penguin bash sure came out of nowhere though. Though absent without leave Kukuru sure was given the opportunity to visit areas that she hadn't seen before though. The hatching though was such a lovely sight. Hopefully with this trip that Kukuru is able to realize that Aquariums are not just about the sealife that live there but also about the attendants that care for them and the guests that visit to see them as well. |

| Kukuru did what most people have fear to do, say screw corporate and bad management of the office team, and take a time. Seriously, Kururu's boss will be happy when someone die or something like that, because of burn out. Where even was that Choko was kept? Nice turtle run. |

| Kukuru is in a bad mood ,she find umi yan wife misaki and she has a kamehaus. Fuuka and the others are worried for kukuru where she is that’s nice. In the end that with the babies was so cute and interested to watch. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| The background art during this episode was awesome. The scene when they’re diving through the crops with the giant rock formation in the back as well as the turtles hatching. Felt like a nice natgeo episode. |
 |
| Yes, Kukuru, take an absence without leave and without telling anyone on where you're going and during an important project for your company. What could possibly go wrong? Better have a sufficient excuse or at the very least compensate by getting new ideas to use at work instead of refusing to take your job seriously and get hell of a scolding for your move. |
| REJECT ANIMU - EMBRACE TOKU |
| Kukuru's action will lead her into trouble and a good scolding after she gets back to work. She needed this break for sure, but I'm wondering what good excuse she'll give for leaving without contacting everyone, especially the supervisor. Even so, I loved seeing the baby turtles hatching <3 The penguin fight was scary to see though ._.; |

 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| Kukuru's absence from work could've been avoided if she just said she was sick or something but oh well. Hopefully, she'll be able to better in a better mindset in the next 3 eps. Maybe she can leave her job at Tingara for a job in that little aquarium since she looks a lot happier there! The baby turtles hatching were a great end to this episode |
  |
| It was no surprise that Kukuru would take a page out of Fuuka's book when it came to "running away from it all" and ended up in a completely different island, which game me vibes of Non Non Biyori due to the sparse human population and endless amount of pretty farm fields and woodlands, along with some beautiful beaches. Regardless, considering how much at breaking point she was at, Kukuru was in good care from Misaki, Umi-yan's wife. Her words of wisdom about what to do next was spot on, though. There's no denying that she'll be lectured and told off for what she did, but at the same time, more could've been done on Tingarla's side, as well as her colleagues and friend to a much lesser extent, to try and help her with her struggles, but not to the point of holding her hand everywhere. It's a shame that there's a rather vocal minority of users here who seem to be eager for Kukuru to be "scolded" for what she did here instead of reading the bigger picture of the reason behind her decision to run away. It's a shame none of them mentioned the assistant director, either, who should take his share of the blame here, but what's done is done, I suppose. Anyway, the highlight of the episode was the showcase of the baby turtles hatching underneath the sand and making their way towards the ocean. It was very beautiful and Fuuka also made her way to the island to see it happen as well. Not just that, but it seems like some of the former Gama Gama penguins are coming to Tingarla, too. That's something to look forward to, as well as seeing what Kukuru will do next. |
| Kukuru ran away after all, but that was no surprise in all honesty. What was a surprise was the scenes of the Sea Turtles hatching, so beautiful and I absolutely loved that NONE were eaten, unlike I once saw on some nature documentary on these Sea Turtles. T_T I am looking forward to seeing Choko at Tingarla. Maybe that will give Kukuru some fresh courage to enjoy work a bit more. |
 |
| Maybe the little aquarium on Iejima is recruiting? I hope they hire Kukuru right away. Too bad for Tingarla's marketing office, now when Suwa obviously is unable to get some other office slaves to do his dirty work, maybe he has to to some own work? Apparently he can't put together small teams doing important projects, so everything has to crash and burn if one person is absent. Nice planning, Suwa! Students in elementary schools are better at planning team assignments than you are. Maybe after a couple of years with real team work, and guidance from a real manager and the whole team, high school ages girls and boys is starting to learn to "think and act like an adult". But they're not ever going to do that if they're getting scornful nicknames, too much independent workload with no team cooperation, and no positive feedback at all. |
| lmao, fire this useless clown. AWOL should always be an automatic boot. The rest of the episode on the smaller island was nice though, very relaxing. I do relate with the "life crisis" thing she's got going on though, what she wants to ultimately do with her life, so there is some pity there. |
JidatPait said: Thank you for writing this. A breath of fresh air amongst the endless swarm of corporate sympathizer in this thread. Why some people seems to love large companies with bad middle managers, never ceases to amaze me. Are they working in these bad conditions as well, and want even fictional characters to suffer as much as they have? If one is defending the Japanese (and South Korean) work environment, then something must be very wrong. |
| So Kukuru actually met up with Umi-yan wife while doing her usual work. That's good, nothing bad happened, and she really need a break after such a shit situations previously. Glad that everyone there were so nice there, and finally Kukuru found some relaxing place. A bit of surprise there's a smaller aquarium site than Gama-gama on those looks-like a desolated area. Even its visitor actually mostly the cows. But, for the least, its gave a relieve for poor Kukuru's soul. The sea turtle hatchling sightseeing scene also nice to add more relaxing tone. Despite there's also Fuuka and her worrying case that also affected her work, now catching up with Kukuru's break. The episode actually quite nice enough, to seems forget what they premierely doin back on the day, and lets just enjoy random things happened around the sea..... |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| I just hope the penguin metaphor isn't a sign of things to come. Kukuru's absence without leave can be covered up if she comes up with some bogus excuse. Maybe she can tell her boss she caught covid or somethin'. I have seen work colleagues milk that thing so who knows maybe it can work. I wouldn't do what Kukuru did personally but I do feel for her as she must be in a pretty bad place to just jump ship like that. Important thing is she learns from this episode and can become more resilient when it comes to adversity. That boss of hers is really going to put her under the cosh after this little stunt. Let's hope she is up to the challenge and doesn't breakdown again. |
| The one thing (I think) I know about sea turtles hatching is that it becomes an absolute feast for all the local birds of prey, but I didn't see a single baby turtle get massacred in that scene. Idk how to feel about that. Maybe they don't have birds in Okinawa lol |
| Taking a break from work rather than running away from it is better. I love how Fuuka is always there for Kukuru. That's a lot of turtles |

I'm a bit confused. Can you explain how you got to that conclusion from this episode? I mean, I can see the part of advocating for psychological maturity when that woman said "the turtles are just gathering strength to run on the sand. They know which direction to go and what to do", I guess. But I thought this whole episode was more about how taking a break to find yourself every now and then is necessary. |
| Suwa: Your job is not to take care of Misakino Me:  I don't care what anyone says, Suwa is the shit LMAOOO Edit: For the record, he is right: Is not that she can't look after or give a shit about Kukuru (because I mean she is her dear fwend after all), is that she can't act like her mom and try and cover for her reckless and selfish actions and do a crap job to boot. Kukuru's got stuff to do, her skipping like that without even calling in sick is not responsible of her, and it creates trouble for everyone (another big No-No in jp culture in general btw...). But real talk tho, It was extremely frustrating to see everyone worried about Kukuru's stupid ass, when she was the one that decided to skip work without even calling in fake sick in advance. What a piece of work this girl is, smh. I get she is not going to magically grow up from one day to another, but the absolute lack of brains or consideration towards her friends is unreal. And Karin shouldn't feel bad for telling her the truth. That's what friends do. They tell you shit to your face and give you reality checks when you need them. And Kukuru sure af needed that. The only one that gets my sympathies this ep is Popo (and the baby turtles). Fuuka is right: It was her fault. But you could also argue it was Kukuru's selfish actions that lead to that. So eh 50/50 ig. Maybe next time don't screw around with your phone while at work, idk. The rural aquarium scenes were nice, is cool they show those kind of places also exist. And also nice to meet Umiyan's wife and see what she does for a living. |

| well can't blame Kukuru from trying to escape that toxic af position. It's nice to see she at least has gotten her spirit back albeit took like 1 ep lmao |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Good to see Kukuru feeling better, she was one dark moment away from becoming a villian. |
| LOL, your opinion is wrong! |
| KUKURU SPIRITUAL JOURNEY ARC KUKURU SPIRITUAL JOURNEY ARC Ayyy they actually showed Umi-yan's wife and she's the person that helps Kukuru getting through this difficult part of her life, it's a small world eh More importantly, BEST BOY CHOCO IS COMING BACK |
| Kukuru really needed a break from work. It's good that Kukuru went somewhere else. If Kukuru went to Gama Gama it would've made her more stressed. At a time like this it's good to go somewhere unknown and have a change of pace to relax. This way Kukuru could discover Kamehausu, an even smaller aquarium than Gama Gama. I was missing Choko, good thing Gama Gama kids will be joining Tingara too. Loved that small Kai and Fuuka moment. Now even Fuuka agrees how annoying that boss is XD though that punching around the air seemed too exaggerated, I doubt anyone sane would do that in real. Didn't expect they would introduce Umi-yan's wife. She seems to be a nice and sensible person. And it looks like Kukuru knows Misaki-san yet doesn't seem to know that she is Umi-yan's wife XD |
| Not sure how the show is going to end but it would most likely be Kukuru being happy working in Tingarla as there is too much there for her to leave and open her own aquarium. To be fair, the director should promote Kukuru when the time is right because no normal employee would want to give their all without knowing what is at the end of the tunnel. I wouldn’t like seeing Kukuru putting so much effort and overtime while still being treated as a normal sales employee that has to coordinate with all the other departments. |
 |
| Kukuru got a break, hopefully she has recovered from her stress. The turtle hatching scene was beautiful. Also we finally got to see Umiyan's wife. |

A breath of fresh air amongst the endless swarm of corporate sympathizer in this thread. Kukuru did the right thing and gave corpo slavery the middle finger. People here acting like being called a derogatory nickname and having a bucket load of work dumped onto you is a normal thing. YOU should decide what you want to do in life, NOT SOCIETY!!!. Even if it means making less money (assuming being a caretaker makes less money than the sales department, nothing against caretakers, thanks for looking after those creatures, you guys rock!!). As long as you can live off of it comfortably, and you enjoy doing it, why not?. It's not like Kukuru dreams of being an unproductive shut-in (which many people do, by the way. They see no point in joining the race anymore). This is where most people misunderstood the circumstances. They thought Kukuru will be living on canned food and have a dark future ahead of her if she decides to be a caretaker. Although from what we've seen so far, Fuuka and other caretakers seems to be doing fine (heck, even some spare money for makeups). If this anime ends on Kukuru unwillingly forced to continue doing the corpo bull, it's gonna get a 1 from me for sure. Unless Kukuru finds enjoyment in doing her corporate work, then that's totally fine. Like I said, you should decide for yourself what you want to do :). Peace!! Your post shows a fundamental lack of awareness of how workplaces function. No, it's not the "corporate sympathizers" criticizing Kukuru for her irresponsible actions this episode, it's people who have actual work experience and understand how shitty a situation it is to have an employee suddenly go AWOL and having to cover her ass at work. Where I work, a shift requires a minimum number of on-duty personnel to properly operate. If an employee decides to not show up for work at the last minute, it wreaks absolute havoc on the remaining employees working that shift, and someone will have to be pulled out of vacation to sub in for the one who's missing. The least Kukuru could've done was notify someone of her absence so that her superior could make arrangements accordingly, like having someone temporarily cover a portion of her workload. What Kukuru did was childish, inconsiderate and irresponsible, and is grounds for getting fired under normal circumstances. |
| I seriously love how they portray the aquatic life in this anime....And yeah this episode was really good....Well it's a good thing Kukuru's taking a breather.....she really needed it... |

What Kukuru did was childish, inconsiderate and irresponsible, and is grounds for getting fired under normal circumstances. A decent, but flawed comparison to be frank. I have my own experience being in a pressured work place where targets and expectations are set at a high standard where some staff have gone a little AWOL a few times when the stress of trying to achieve the daily targets got the better of them and the previous management have been more harsh on the sacking for those who step out of line for whatever reason, but the management at my work went too far on that aspect (too trigger-happy with the sacking) and when they lost the trust of our staff and with the public, the management got replaced very quickly. Kukuru's job is completely different compared to what I do and having her go AWOL won't harm her team as much as it would do to my group at work if someone doesn't turn up when they should, but the expectations of those jobs, as well as the punishments for those who do something wrong, with also be judged differently as well. Realistically, I don't see Kukuru getting sacked for this, especially when Suwa, the assistant director, should also explain his actions which has contributed to Kukuru's decision to go AWOL. At best, both will be given a stern warning, but whether that'll help their work relations improvement or not, who knows. |

| Lol Kukuru needs to take better responsibility on her fuck up, doing a no call no show is the worst thing you could do. At least make a excuse yourself and make it believable. Or plan ahead if you know how fucking hard work it. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |

| I had never felt bad for Kukuru, shes nothing more but a bratty childish girl "Work isn't going too well" WELL NO KIDDING KUKURU, all you've been doing is fooling around, taking nothing seriously, bailing out on work, and arguing against your assistant manager instead of working. If you don't like your job, quit! |

rsc-pl said: Teisatsu said: Why some people seems to love large companies with bad middle managers, never ceases to amaze me. Because you know, they feel mature this way. I mean there's no other explanation of this. The other thing is that most people are growing up in societies that are teaching them how to be a perfect corpo slave (grading in schools or "learning useless things to be better then the rest = the most important thing to do" etc). Not many people are thinking and living differently, unfortunately. Way to completely miss the point. I see people like you still fail to understand that when an employee fails to show up at work having not given advanced notice, this creates an extra burden for the employees left behind because there wasn’t sufficient time to arrange for someone to sub-in for the missing employee. It’s called mutual consideration and responsibility as a working adult. I guess you have never worked before, if you’re spouting ignorant nonsense like this. |
