Limi said: Major plot hole though is why the fuck the kid randomly goes around with an adult into the middle of nowhere...? For the same reason they can roam around cities, go back and forth between other universes and ours, or be members of secret organizations or have laboratories which overtake half their house. The same as it is and always has been in most any other anime/cartoon/live action TV series or movie since time immemorial where kids are part or all of the main protagonists: Parents either don't notice or care so that the plot can happen. As opposed to if they asked permission early on into the show, but they had strict or involved parents so they are told no. They comply. Roll credits. Show is over. |
| Great, this reminds me of when I was studying Geosciences. That said, I've never found a place so enchanting. *sigh* |

Animation is great. Chick looks fine too.

| @Limi OR... when the thicccc lady comes to pick Ruri up with her car, she meets her mom, bows, introduces herself as a geology major, gives her cake and her contact info, and because she seems very nice the mom is relieved her kid is doing something else than browse tiktok all day, like going into nature and learn and search for rocks. You know, like, stuff so normal that people do it can happen offscreen. PS: This show about minerals has no business being animated as spectacular as it is. Also, thiccc, god damn. |
A pretty nice first episode! |
 |
nah, i don't think so  |
| Cute Girls Collecting Rocks. I always love it when my CGDCT makes me obsessed with one particular subject for a whole season. This time, it's geology. The visuals and sceneries are so beautiful, and sure has a lot of thicc shots lol, I mean it's from the same studio that did Mushoku, Onimai and Hanashura, it's bound to be good! |
| they really need to go this hard on the animation for the mineralogy anime? XD I mean, not complaining, it's great I usually already love the "cute girls doing random activity" genre, but adding a hot oneesan on the mix is welcome |

I somehow haven't noticed the Mini Cooper in the episode, thank you pointing that out, I'm a big Mini fan!

| @Joshhhp Everyone loves car cameos! Like Lupin's Fiat 500 or the Jaguar from Gunsmith Cats! Doubt they'll have more cameos like this one, but I'll be happily surprised if they do! |

| BRO THE ANIMATION??? they got that mushoku tensei money… or i just watch too much shoujos idk |
| liking the premise of this show but damn did they have to make like half the cast stacked, not that I mind though |
 |
| Maybe I'm gonna catch some quartz soon, a very nice surprise for this season! |
 |
Finally, anime for real Dwarf lovers |

 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. |
| Loving how Nagi was animated, they for some reason made her butt huge LMAO |
| I'm not going to lie: this anime caught my eye as soon as Nagi appeared in the trailer. And seriously, I have no idea how that shirt and pants hold up 👀. "Fanservice" aside, the story itself is calm, relaxing and even educational. The friendship and charisma between the waifus is charming and heartwarming. The animation is colorful, fluid and impressively detailed. It has a lot of potential, and I think it will be worth following to unwind from the daily grind. Honestly, I loved it. And I'm killing two birds with one stone: watching Nagi and learning some mineralogy and geology along the way. |

Bind's logic is asinine. Enhance Nagi's tits, ass, thighs and show her crotch close up but Ruri's pantyshot gets censored.
| @sonictoryuiai Well Nagi is a young adult probably in her 18 to 20ish age while Ruri is just a kid. Frankly I don't give fck about fictional characters' ages but the studio maybe needed to do this to avoid unwanted internet outrage. |

| Very cool 1st episode, rocks are sure interesting and it was fascinating to hear all of Nagi's explanations around it, I can't wait to see them finding more rare minerals. |
 |
| I like the topic but the MC is very unpleasant. I also don't really appreciate how they unnecessarily focus on Nagi's body, and those girls are doing some physical work in the woods, it would be pretty uncomfortable without tying the hair. But I guess whatever looks good in the anime… There is potential for MC to grow and change her annoying behaviour so I'll see how it goes. |
| Love rocks and gems so this was such a fun and informative episode. Also love the art. The character design is adorable and the backgrounds are so detailed and beautiful. Ruri is a bit annoying but Nagi’s calm demeanor makes it a nice balance. Will definitely continue watching. 💎 |
| It seems that Ruri has caught his interest in something in particular. This anime caught my attention, and I really liked the first episode. Ruri is pretty, and Nagi is very beautiful. I'll keep watching it. The animation is beautiful. The opening is very good and the ending is very nice and visually they are beautiful.    |
| It reminded me of my childhood interest in rocks. 2025-08-05 |
| I've always been a massive fan of Geology, so I naturally liked it. If anything I was a little questionable on the entire lake of Garnet, which somehow ruined my suspension of belief. |

| The details on their clothes and mini movements are amazing! As expected from the studio that brought Mushoku Tensei S1 and Onimai. It's the first I'm seeing correct details on button up shirt on women. The fold near her chest area is legit. |
| You know what else has houseki in the title, Land of the Lustrous, which is a masterpiece. Coincidence? I think not, Ruri Rock up next |
 |
| Well, Ngl, I decided to watch this because of the obvious thicc animation lol but I'm genuinely impressed at how well the first episode hooked me in. I have zero interest in rocks but I think I can watch this. |
 |
| I fell in love with the OP so much decided to give this one a try. Animation is superb. Subject seems fun enough. |
| hell man , rock class and a obnoxious kid at that |
| you can really tell that its the same team behind Onimai that made this anime, the attention to detail like the beautiful background art and the super expressive animation is just a treat to the eyes! It was totally worth it to wait for the anime to finish airing so I can binge watch the whole thing and learn about minerology 💯 Also, someone tell Nagi that her jeans are holding on for dear life 😭 |
