| new OP and ED are quite beautiful and I was so relieved to see Kaname even if he didn't come back this episode. so it seems that the expected pairings are Tsumugu and Chisaki, Miuna and Hikari, Sayu and Kaname and tbh this setup is kind of disappointing since it just falls together too easily. I hope this series delivers something else. I get the impression from the current and past OP and EDs that Manaka doesn't end up in a pairing because her character is meant for something else, maybe some kind of leader in the sea village which would mean she cannot live on the surface as the others would. I liked Tsumugu more in this episode than in the past ones, he's better about showing his emotions even if Chisaki doesn't notice. |
 |
| The end of the op implies that Manaka will eventually wake up and return to the surface (she grabs Miuna's parasol, at least that's what I think). I'm still hoping for Hikari x Manaka |
NYANPASU~! |
| One thing that has me confused in this episode is why only Hikari came to the surface. Why didn't Kaname wake up as well, if whatever unusual conditions (the Tomoebi?) were occuring that would make Hikari wake up? Was it because Miuna was thinking of him? Maybe the professor will figure this out. XD Poor Chisaki! It's definitely going to be awkward when Hikari sees her in the next episode. I doubt that they will get together, as some people seem to be hoping though. He didn't like her like that before, and now he will probably find her somewhat intimidating. Even if Chisaki still has feelings for Hikari, I can't see her keeping them for long after seeing him again so much younger than her. |

Even if Chisaki still has feelings for Hikari, I can't see her keeping them for long after seeing him again so much younger than her. My theory is he was closest to the surface...and maybe his ena did not develop as much as Kaname's but... remember how he wanted to save Manaka... but then he got pushed away by the strong whirlpool. As he was pushed away towards the surface, Manaka exploded and froze the sea. Kaname fell into the sea deeper that Hikari... and I don't think he even tried to swim back up closer to the surface O: ~ I don't think it's gunna be awkward. :> I think she's going to be very very happy because Hikari is a sign that the hibernation is ending soon or is coming to an end. I think the distraught one will be Hikari. Tsumugu seemed not quite as happy to see Hikari... for reasons I don't understand yet ~ As a matter of fact Hikari's ena did not develop as finely as the others. One of the sea people even stated this pre time skip. I also hold the opinion that it will indeed be Hikari who'll be hurting the most in the coming episodes. Needless to say by the preview we'll get to see his less mature side if only for a short time. Now the thing with Tsumugu is this. Even though it what somewhat implied he has feelings for Chisaki it was never actually stated. The next episode will be very much interesting to say the least. |

| Where's the 6 out of 5 rating option for this episode??? >< Miuna was already damn cute, now grown-up Miuna ahhhhhh *dies from nosebleed* |
| Cute is justice. |
| This was the best episode yet! I knew I wasn't waiting for a time skip for nothing, however it looks like all the ages will be matched up in a way that allows all the pairings I didn't like to fall into place. oh well. :/ Also, just the kind of melodrama that left me with feels instead of the usual annoyance. |
| Yet another exemplary episode. Though, there are some things that bugs me. In the first part of the series, one of the main point was that the Sea God didn't like it when more and more of sea people goes, and lives in the surface with their loved ones. Yet, it seems like all of the pairings are Sea X Land. Oh, and I am still intrigued by the "His descendants" from last episodes. |

| Great episode! Didn't expect such a big time skip but it seems to work really well. Miuna looks great all aged up, as do Tsumugu and Chisaki. Hikari's back (I think probably because his ena wasn't as developed as the rest of the sea people) but he still looks just as young as he was when he disappeared. Should be interesting for him to get back to normal life. |
Meldoy said: So they're gonna go with the Hikari x Miuna, Sayu x Kaname and Chisaki x Tsumugu pairings now, I think. Manaka's still in the OP though, maybe she'll come back?! i agree with u thatll sure be happening |
| AqUar!An |
| I'm depressed with the whole Manaka situation. Still, looks like she's just taking a nap so it's ok, I guess. Seemingly, she'll be the last one to wake up eh Well, I'm still pretty confident on my HikarixManaka ship, so, shoooooo Miuna. |
| Manaka x Seaslug |
 |
| voice in the middle of the op is it not to Manaka ? and I also wonder who belongs this pendant in the picture, : |

barriedude said: why does none hate tsumugu, first hes detroying hirakis life by taking manaka, and now all of a sudden hes taking chisaki from kaname, HE is the biggest problem. He can't be hated for those reasons because he never actively pursued either of them. He didn't reciprocate Manaka's apparent feelings for him, and hasn't gone after Chisaki in all these years (if he even likes her in that way in the first place because it has yet to be confirmed). He may be causing friction be he hasn't actually done anything wrong. |
| Five years huh, things sure have change a little bit |
 |
| It's back, things sure have changed. I'm impressed by this episode. |

i miss you |
| Hikaru x Miuna is impossible. He's her uncle now. |
| Keep moving forward |
| So Hikari X Miuna can now happen w/o him being a dolicon! Ship is sailing! (though the first fleet of ships was sunk, so this new fleet may do so as well...) Chisaki got a nice visual upgrade. That ZR was murder! Miuna, while not a loli animore, is still cute as a button, so I semi-approve. |

kyochan03 said: The feels :'( The episode just made my heart break. The characters got older, so much time has passed, everything is different. I love the ChisakiXTsumugu moments, I've been shipping them since the beginning and I think they both like each other now, though Tsumugu still thinks Chisaki likes Hikari. I feel so bad for Chisaki because she was left alone, and later when they (Hikari, Kaname, and hopefully Manaka) come back, she'll be 5 years older than them b/c it doesn't look like they aged. No offense to anyone but I personally dislike the HikariXMiuna pairing. And I dislike how it's like Miuna just took Manak's place as the main girl character now. I hope Miuna doesn't end up with Hikari. I am of same opinion as you, I also do not like Miuna take the place of Manaka's or whether with hikari . |
| Hikari x Miuna is possible now... but it's really tragic for Chisaki who still harbors feeling for Hikari, and Hikari hasn't aged one bit since 5 years ago. |
- I've always... always been watching you... This whole time... Because you were there... That's why I was able to try hard. So you could have some balance! So you wouldn't treat me like a kid! So you would see me as an actual girl! Even while you were gone... You were right here! You were right here in my heart! |
| Wow, quite an episode. Everyone sure has grown up in five years. This is feeling pretty tragic. |

| for gods sake... why the hell u guys just care about love? this series bcome more deeper than before, like what happnd to manaka or why is hikari still child, but no. most important thing is whos goin to end up with whom. |

Shipping is serious biz. Silvertide said: I especially don't want there to be a Miuna x Hikari pairing, that'd be terrible. I noticed that she started showing the signs when she was younger, but since she was younger I disregarded her completely. And now, this. I honestly hope this time skip hasn't happened just to get Sayu and Miuna into the big picture. I like Sayu being all independent, her crush before was just a crush, it wasn't big or important or anything. But that is the most interesting part, to see love as, you know, love. Regardless of age differences or familial connections. In general, people often dismiss the word 'love' if it was coming from a young child as a puppy love, not as something romantic. While in reality, the capability of someone to love or to have strong affection towards someone is always genuine. Yes, as one's grew older one's may laugh at the silly thing that makes you fell in love with someone when one was too young to understand. But the quality of that feeling is still the same, as what we would define it as love. This is what the show is trying to tell you. Love may have many forms and expressions. I'm not surprised if Miuna 'crush' has developed into romantic one. |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| Woah I don't know what to say... Well as for the shipping, I think I'll just go with whatever that comes..gonna miss "Hihihihi~" ED :P! But love the new OP/EDs. |
| 5/5 As I expected, having had in his hands the key visual for a long, time skip there was for the sake of the plot, to shuffle the cards and let back into the game and also Miuna Sayu, even if I believed that everything in Miuna not would have played a large role, and instead suffered the narration makes it clear things up, leaving the figure of Sayu in telling how they had moved to the "sentimental assets"! * _ * Juicy narrative, as mentioned before, almost all Han had their moment of glory after the time skip and before time skip. Thus giving a complete and thorough, very good story! : D Interesting plot, now there will be fireworks! ^ _ ^ Drawings and good BGM. OP and ED is not as beautiful as the first! ^ ^ " |
 |
| My heart breaks everytime I see Chisaki x Tsumugu moments </3 Seriously. This episode just confirms Tsumugu likes Chisaki and that will be just another problem for Chisaki. For Fuck's Sake CHISAKI DESERVES TO BE HAPPY AT LEAST ONCE!! She got nothing but shit all this time. |
| Wow, I've been hoping since they mentioned the ice age that there would be a time skip, just because it would be a great plot development... but I was seriously having doubts until last episode that it was gonna happen. Things are going to get really interesting from here on. I could've sworn in the opening Kaname and Hikari were grown in the opening, but I suppose they did look a little shorter. Man, it didn't even hit me until it all but pointed it out... but Chisaki lost all 3 of her childhood friends all in one instant. That would have to have been one of the hardest things to ever face, especially at that age. At least she's been able to hold onto the hope that they're still alive... which it looks like at least Kaname and Hikari are. I think it's pretty clear from this turn of events that we're going to get Miuna x Hikari... of course, from the very beginning the pairings have been really unpredictable and I hope it stays that way. I'm almost kinda wondering if maybe Chisaki's actually been harboring feelings for Kaname, after what happened... but maybe not. Either way, there's all kinds of chaos there. |

| That reminded me of Shinsekai Yori. Oh god, another strong episode, Miuna is still the same, even tho she is hottie now! Chisaki is still the best female character imho, and Tsumugu is the same as before, but that`s okay with his character. That`s just too good. |
| If Manaka was taken as a sacrifice for the sea god then how come the world is still frozen above land. Hope someone can explain this. |
| WELL THAT'S AWKWARD everyone aged except hikari and manaka (she's obviously still alive, i think....) not sure if i like this lol even though i'm riding on the hikari x manaka ship. Loved the new OP btw |
| Wow, what a turn of events. That cliffhanger was amazing, I have so many questions now! Nice new OP and ED but I still prefer the first ones. |
| This episode was so much better than all the previous episodes combined! ヽ(ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ Now I'm pretty sure I'll like the rest of this. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Well shiiiieeet, things are pretty deep now (sorry for the language). Chisaki so mature >< |
 |
| So Manaka's dead... oh hell naw. Timeskip huh? Seems neat. So now Miuna is the same age as Hikari, guess they're couple potential now. Great episode, only problem is I hate timeskips that don't show the main characters aging (well two did at least, still would've rather to see the others age though). |

| Yoooooooo. Ho-ly-shit. This show have reached a new level. Seriously, that was amazing. It got depressive real quick though. Mana was (almost) not in the OP, that broke my heart. All the character have growed up a lot and the world too. They seem to head more to a scientific method. When that new Akari kid poked Chisaki butt, it was hilarious xD Tsumugu seemed bitter when Chisaki said that he was his precious ''family''. Miuna have really become someone interresting. She's sticked with an ''impossible'' love. I wonder if Sayu still love Kaname. I guess so. I was pretty sure that something would happen at the Tomoebi, they were focusing so much on it. But why is it only Hikara that surfaced? Maybe it's because he was thrown up in the water and so closer to the surface? Anyway, what an horrible shock it must have been. What Kaname said was really true after all, they wouldn't wake up at the same and some may never wake up... :( Poor him, he lost his Manaka, I don't think he'll be able to handle the shock. Anyway, Chisaki will probably rush in. |
