P.A can you stop torturing Kaname?! Come on! That was just hard for him to see Chisaki and Tsumugu living together and acting too close to each other like a family.

So Chisaki still likes Hikari. Kaname still likes Chisaki. Hikari still likes Manaka. Sayu is still bitch-ier than ever. Miuna is still a good character. And I have no idea if Tsumugu likes Chisaki or not.

Can we just let Sayu and Manaka die, go with Chisaki x Kaname and Hikari x Miuna? That way everybody is happy!
Chisaki is one of those characters that thinks shes in love with one character but really is in love with another aka Tsumugu. plus it would be very unlikely for Tsumugu and Chisaki to not develop feelings for eachother over 5 years of living together

For people to be whining on how the anime goes -_- really i guess you guys basically cannot accept the originality and beauty of this anime. And i do know everyone has their own opinions but for me i absolutely love this anime so far go Chisaki and tsumugu love it and i do in fact hate the part of Muina liking Hikari it just doesnt fit but you know what it was the producers choice and i guess i will accept it

It's not whining, just a individual stating their view of the show and it's topics. As for myself, I think the show's great. I just find that the love of the characters as of right now holds value over what I feel is the shows necessity to have both sea and land people come to an understanding of how to live side by side. It focuses more on the love of the characters instead of showing us who the characters actually are aside from a select few like Chisaki and Hikari.

Well said. While this anime does focus on drama quite a bit, I think the main message is about change and how it is inevitable. While we may like to hold on to what is dear to us and hope that things do not change, change is just part of life.

As for pairings, I never been a huge fan of Tsumugu. I didn't like him when Manaka was crushing on him and I don't care for him much in terms of being with Chisaki. I don't hate the guy, I just don't find him a compelling character. His lack of emotion is my main gripe; always monotone. With that said it makes the most sense for him to end with Chisaki since they are the same age and they are comfortable with each other. I didn't mind rooting for Chisaki with Hikari pre time skip but so much has CHANGED. lol

Miuna is cool. I don't mind shipping her. I still think Manaka is the best fit for Hikari but we will see what happens. I think she will come back because the OP hints at that fact and it really seems like she is the one catching the red umbrella at the end. At the same time, the ED seems reminiscent of memories and hints that maybe she won't come back especially how it avoids showing her face. WHO KNOWS?!

Kaname will probably move on from Chisaki and see Sayu in a different light. Maybe even Hikari will see Miuna in a different light. At this point in time he hasn't shown any interest in her in that sense. With all that being said, we are 9 episodes from the conclusion. I CAN SEE THE ENDING! Or not really... :P

There are so many different opinions about the characters, that I´m really sure that at the end of episode 26 some people will be really pissed.
I don´t know why, but I get the feeling that this could be a reason why at the end we won´t get any official couple :/!

This anime is so unpredictable that I can imagine a crazy end like : Manaka waking up, but 15 years later when Hikari and the others are all adults.

I really missed Kaname, so I´m really happy that he´s finally back ! Still it´s sad to see him suffering.

yeah,the anime's so caught up in the relationships, it'll all end with both a hand full of characters and fans left out.

Because of this, Kaname is the only thing that keeps me watching. xD

Of course Miuna knows that Hikari loves Manaka, but Miuna is in love with Hikari, and being in love with him means that she wants to see him happy. And seeing him happy means helping him to find out about Manaka, and even if this means that those two will end up together, Miuna will accept it because Hikari will be happy.

That is what love is supposed to be about, the other person's happiness.

As for the rest, everyone is suffering from the same problem, the seemingly impenetrable barrier between the land and sea people. Tsumugu loves Chisaki, but he always feels that a part of her will forever be cut off from him (he mentioned this when Chisaki and Hikari didn't want to see one another), this barrier is not only between boyfriends and girlfriends, but between husband and wife, and mother and children (this is also why Miuna is so happy about being able to go to the village, it's from where her mother and step mother are both from).

That is the whole theme of the show, I find it a bit strange listening to people whine about it when it has been this way since the first episode.

I loved the heartbreaking moments between Kaname and Chisaki and Kaname is not a fool, he knows that Tsumugu feels something more for Chisaki and has more of a chance with her...that's why he is all serious and sad looking when Tsumugu is around. I wonder if his reactions are a foreshadowing of Tsumugu's and Chisaki's future as a couple ....after all, Hikari was never a threat to him so he never worried but Tsumugu on the other hand...

I don't think so. I am still waiting for the scene, where she asked the sea slug about her feelings... Well - there may be some twists they could do, so they don't have to bring Manaka back 'into the picture'. Still, there is some explanation needed :)

Allthough, if and when she comes back - I expect a big hit right in my feels.

In any case, I sincerely hope they end this anime in an acceptable way. Right now, I don't really know who I want to end up together. Might be a good thing, because I would be less disappointed. I have a slight idea what might happen, but I will be pissed if they do that (hi/mana, tsu/chi, kan/sayu, [miu/theOneWhoConfessed]).

Sayu and Miuna's different ways of looking at things is really fun to watch. Sometimes I side with Sayu, sometimes with Miuna. Chisaki and Tsumugu were really cute this episode, I hope they end up together. Looking forward to seeing Shioshishio again next episode, I wonder how much it will have changed.

I wish that Manaka got drifted ashore somewhere else where she was aged for 5 years like Chisaki, that would be the real drama :D

Kaname is pathetic with his love though. Chisaki and Tsumugu is the only pair I favor now. Other ones are just childhood wishes.

So, now we have this:

Sayu -> Kaname, Tsumugu -> Chisaki, Miuna -> Hikari -> Manaka - > Tsumugu

Anyone else joins this septagram? :) (EDIT: oh, shame on me, I forgot that guy who has crush on Miuna) :))

Great episode, each scene is really great to watch ^^
Good for Sayu haha ^^ but notice how for Sayu & Miuna it's kind of like a dream come true to be with Hikari & Kaname, but Hikari & Kaname are still uneasy. Not uneasy about the different "world", but about Manaka and Chisaki, respectively.

I think that the situation with Manaka is unique, since she was the "offering" to the sea gods, so I think it'll be a little dramatic or so. I don't really have any knowledge of what actually happens, though, that's just how I feel.

I can't even believe they made such a likeable character (and give her so much development) out of such an unimportant side-character like Miuna. I've really grown attached to her.

But boy, every character suffers so much in this show. It's a real emotional rollercoaster... I just hope it won't end catastrophically.

It was an interresting episode, again.

I just realised that the OP lyric are exactly about Mana.

Kaname living with Tsumugu and Chisaki can be an explosive situation. I'm pretty sure that Tsumugu have feeling for Chisaki and that Chisaki is still confused.

That scene were Kaname greeted Sayu was really cute.

So Miuna now have an Ena and as I thought, it's because of her mother origin. Maybe they activate when they at a certain depth of water. Anyway, now there going for their old village. Will they find something to cheer them up or will it be the opposite? Also, WHAT HAPPENED TO MANA GODDAMMIT!! xD

I'm starting to think the only reason why Hikari, Kaname, and possibly Manaka are waking up is because they ate before going into hiberation. It doesn't really make a lot of sense to go into hiberation 50 years before something supposedly bad happens only to wake up 5 years later before anything even happens to mankind. But i suppose they did say no one knows how long the hibernation is....

I don't know what to think about side characters being given most of the screen time though, even now Miuna and Sayu ( I guess they are main characters now...) still interest me the least of all the characters, starting to turn into a blender of themes.

I do Hope Hikari chooses either Chisaki or Manaka but Im rooting for ChisakiXHikari because she has had a crush since they were childhood and Manaka feels like more of a friendship wise.

I dont want ChisakaXTsumugu pair or ChisakaXkaname because firstly Chisaka still has feelings for Hikari and she has only changed due ot the 5 year timeskip. Kaname suits Sayu better.

I dont know why people are rooting MiunaxHikari because its impossible as they are close family relatives so HOPEFULLY that doesnt happen or score will drop.

Chisaki is Hot and seems like a good housewife for Hikari


HIKARI please choose Chisaki, shes the one for you

I'm still waiting for the researchers to find a way to let people like Tsumugu breathe underwater. I thought I was just imagining the possibility, but what I thought would be the first step already happened, Miuna starting to develop Ena.

Miuna was always talking about feeling so far away from the underwater world, and Tsumugu always loved the sea too. Hope it doesn't happen, but... seems like plenty of other cliches happen here.

This. Although Sayu and Kaname aren't as bad for me because Sayu isn't as melodramatic as Miuna. And I still can't get over the whole uncle/niece thing.

Hikari and Miuna honestly remind me of Naruto and Hinata. It seems to be the exact same dynamic too. And as a NaruSaku shipper I am so not here for this.

I'm really disappointed that Sayu seems to have given up on lecturing Miuna about pursuing this too. :/

Alright now I'm rooting for Sayu x Kaname. It's better if he just forgets about Chisaki.
There's one thing I not too fond of Chisaki.. she has 5 years of time to think things through ?
She should give Kaname an answer after saying 'I'm thinking about it' and left him hanging the last time.
Imagine poor Kaname having just woke up the next day and find the girl he loves living with another guy for 5 years.
But that's just my thought.. also I find it somewhat awkward whenever she's close to Tsugumu.
I don't know why though.. despite thinking I would ship them after they were living together.
Maybe it seems like she still hold feelings for Hikari.. she has no self awareness lol.
Well I still like her nonetheless.. I'm curious what they'll find down there.
