TIL that travelling aquariums are a thing

Now we learn the motivations for Umi-yan and Karin regarding their desire for Gama Gama to continue operating, I believe only Kai's is left? (or even Kukuru's grandpa)

Gama Gama Aquarium has earned another event: makeshift a mobile aquarium clinic to be brought for a visit to the hospital, from the help of the tourism association manager Karin.

The head nurse that takes care of the whole event, Kinjo, she's like a grim reaper more than anything underneath because...BEWARE THE C-WORD (that's her Achilles' Heel). But otherwise, they're all good to go to bring the fish along...except that a crab got mixed in there for God knows what trouble it'll do...and Umi-yan, take care of your ailing back. OH SHIT, better find that stray xanthid crab before it pinces unsuspecting patients!

Umi-yan has this weird relationship with this wheelchair Airi Uehara. Blueberry girl Kukuru shows her fishy enthusiasm, love her passinoate energy wherever she goes. But the hospital has also received word that Gama Gama is about to be shut down, and Kukuru seems dispirited. Karin is doing the same for her efforts to revive Gama Gama Aquarium, but it's not helping much. To Umi-yan, the aquarium is his life because of Airi who's hospitalized in the hospital, and upholding a promise with her, but time ran out due to certain circumstances.

The crab got Fuuka bleeding good, and they have to conceal the crab issue from Kinjo while juggling with the hospitalized kids to give them a good feel for the fish as they would on-site. Umi-yan trying to make up to Airi about the promise...and the crab got to Kinjo giving her a good scare. Airi fearlessly took the crab off of Kinjo in Umi-yan's presence, graced her with gaffa rufa a.k.a doctor fish, and with another promise. I legit cried like a real man, what a heartwarming scene that is.

A give and take between the head nurse Kinjo's scary aftermath and the hospitalized kids for therapy, along with the crab issue, makes a win-win for all. So Karin actually wanted to be an aquarium attendant, but circumstances forced her to look else. A good experience this is one for all to learn, so stay steadfast Kukuru! Or Gama Gama Aquarium will be finished.

We're officially at the 1/3rd mark...and time to welcome a new training intern: Chiyu Haebaru.
someone told me the sister studio that did clannad is making this and if that's the case then we are in for a lot more tear jerker moments. I also love umi yan, most people in his position would go on leave and probably quit with a health problem like that, but he's so passionate about teaching he stays on. As someone with as someone with chronic pelvic pain that likes to work with heavy tech such as severs and the like I respect that passion.

Hmm, a traveling aquarium. Honestly, a really good PR stunt and, overall, a good idea for the aquarium. Haha, the head nurse really went to hell and back when she saw that crab. Oh, that new girl in the preview definitely means trouble.
it's not uncommon where I live there's an aquarium about an hour from me and they used to visit my school when I was a kid and would bring the penguins. I've also taken many a school trip there. If your ever in point pleasant New Jersey look up Jenkinsins aquarium it's small but it's a great time.

I like how Fuuka-chan decided to ride with Kukuru instead of hop in the car ac cabin. Funny moment for me, together with how the crab actually became and important matter for the plot and really used as the episode title xD.

Umi-yan and Karin-san had more story development this time, by using the Aquarium travelling idea, crab crisis (yeah, quite crisis for that poor nurse) , and the little girl issue with the fishes, and created such another nice episode as an overall. Thats good, very wholesome part when Airi decided to make another promise to Umi-yan, which made Kukuru believed that the aquarium still had a chance and can't let herself give up like what Karin-san and her dream did in the past. Quite naive, but well, i don't talk much about the future, so i am still liking the determination of the girl have at that time. That's it.

Hopefully there's nothing really dramatic happens all of sudden. Let it flow naturally and pace everything well structured. The next will be introducing more girl and Kukuru looks like not liking it. Why? I can't wait for the next episode ...

Always nice to get a kukuru ep, really hype for chiyu as well. Kukuru looked a little ticked with her joining the aquarium.

Another really great episode! That crab was a menace lmao, Nurse Kinjou's reactions to the "c-word" were really hilarious.

A travelling aquarium sounds cool as fuck and also very heartwarming for the kids who are stuck in the hospital. We have now found out Karin's dream as well. It's to become an aquarium attendant. Maybe if they can save Gama Gama, she still has a chance to be able to work there. That's why I hope Kukuru succeeds, so Karin can achieve her dream as well and maybe also inspire Fuuka achieve her dreams as well once Kukuru succeeds. Also, Fuuka's "crab!" before the middle part of the episode was super adorable.

Man, I am gonna fucking cry if Airi recovers from her illness and finds that Gama Gama is closed down, please no. New character introduced after the ED, she looks great obviously, but I wonder if she'll be a game changer for the aquarium. Really looking forward to the next episode.

Yet another fun, wholesome episode.

Looks like drama is incoming with the new trainee from Aquarium Tingaara. I guess that aquarium might be the new aquarium in the centre Karin-chan was talking about?

So a travelling aquarium is the next idea to try and save Gama Gama from closure. Seems a fair bit more plausible than that shaved ice stand they did before, albeit probably lower-impact for that very reason. Some very strong sentimental value with Airi as well in an otherwise okay episode.

That crab sure caused some chaos didn't it? Looked real smug as it climbed the head nurse.

that's literally the 1st thing i heard everytime i went for job/training/whatever lol but tbh i notice lots of people not doing it (cough cough ... my family ... even tho i tell them to)


anyway, another fun episode, nice to see them trying different things to save the aquarium and to also give the kids a fun time
the nurse sure didn't have a good time tho lmao
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices)

Like that we are continuing to get more focus on the side characters. Wholesome ep giving something to the hospital kids. Starting to wonder if they really will be able to save gama gama or if the series will take a more offbeat route.

Meh episode

I wish they gave us more background/story on the wheelchair girl. Maybe I missed it, but there was no explanation as to what her condition is and why she was upset with Umiyan and why the crab encounter made her forgive? him. Just felt like there was no substance there.

And again, I wish they focused a little more on the two main characters' story. I know it's a 2 cour show, so they're taking their sweet time, but these one-off side-stories are getting a little tiresome.

I think there was no need to explain those things. And I dont see her as upset with Umiyan as being in that zone of discomfort when you cant face what have been revoked and what you cant comeback to in the near future. As someone who have behaved like that girl in the past, is just a sentiment against yourself more than against the other person that you are evading

Another average episode tbh This show is hard on predictability, but I guess the feelings are ok

When Airi-chan told Umi-yan that she doesn’t want to see the fishes again as it’s no longer the same that made me so sad.....

Umi-yan is so caring! I’m glad he helped Airi-chan open up again & made her happier.

Why are people hard pressed to know what happened to Airi/what’s her condition???? Is that really the point here????? Jesus talk about completely missing the point lol. The whole story is about how Gama Gama has affected the lives of many who visit & love to go there. It’s not just about Fuuka & Kukuru. It makes me a little sad seeing all the yuri-crazed folks just focusing only on that & not paying any attention to the subtleties & how beautiful the story really is. Their loss, I guess.

I agree, Gama Gama can as well be listed as a main character of this show with other characters just happen to be around. At first i thought it's just that, a bait show. But its much more that that.

And people are definitely missing out.

I really liked Kukuru's line at the end about being strong. The show kind of jumbled a little but to me it seemed like she was essentially saying this is all I have and it's not a matter of being strong. It's a strong sentiment but a dangerous world view for someone her age.

I have a good feeling Gama will end up closing and when that does happen it's probably going to focus more on the characters lives without it.

This is where I drop out. The writing is just too mawkish and shows no sign of getting any better. The girl who stopped showing up one week, and is now in a wheelchair, and promises to visit once she gets better, is a strike too many.
