This show was great. I think the story was very interesting and there were some mature plot-twists. One of the few animes that I didn't predict, which is really hard to do. The ending was nice. I really wanted to see óne kiss-scene, but I guess more animes have a hard time to conclude that stuff. With a kiss scene it would probably be my perfect entertainment.

It's 8/10 for me.

I'm pretty confused on the message that this show is trying to deliver. The first episode where Tsumugu pulls Manaka out of the water, I don't get the point of it now. Is the show trying to say that nothing is set in stone? If so... okay...? Still don't get what that has to do with the Sea God not realizing the feelings that the maiden had for him. Everything is just so clouded now.

I also agree that they kinda just threw Sayu with Kaname so that he wasn't alone. But overall it was an enjoyable series, still seriously confused by the whole point of Tsumugu pulling up Manaka and all that chemistry stuff they had. The whole scene where Tsumugu and Manaka were on the boat explaining about the sun and the sea was just such a cop out to be honest. It's like they decided to make this dramatic scene between the two in the first episode, then they decided that they shouldn't get together so they come up with the "you're the sun, but... I like the sea better because it made me appreciate the sun" da fuk?

The point was that Hikari was an idiot like the seagod who jumped into the wrong conclusions without communicating. Everyone handwaved Tsumugu's feelings and assumed Manaka's crush was real love. It was a mirror to what happened with the sea god and the ojoshi-sama. Ask and don't assume: talk about it. I'm sure that for Hikari it seemed like a fateful meeting, for Tsumugu it was probably Tuesday.

Hikari wasn't the only idiot in this. This misunderstanding was spread to Chisaki who held back her feelings for Tsumugu and hurt herself because she wrongly thought she was usurping Manaka's love while she was sleeping.

Sayu and Kaname are not yet a couple, the possibility is open now he's noticing. He just wanted to belong somewhere, he felt discarded by everyone. He knew Tsumugu and Chisaki were going to hook up. Re-watch the first half and you'll see his expression and concern over Tsumugu as rival and not over Hikari (he never took Hikari as a real rival).

Chisaki's story is one of change, because she was the character who was afraid of changing to the point it was toxic. She was using her group of friends as crutch and while she holds them dear, she has no contact with them in the epilogue visually, because she's signifying her moving on to other places. Only Tsumugu could have been her love interest. Hikari and Kaname were part of the group. Hikari in particular, a symbol of her childhood.

Manaka's story is the opposite. She used the surface as escapism (like Chisaki used Hikari) for her childish longings, that's what Tsumugu represented for her, in a romantic aspect. A crush. Hikari was the one she loved.

Change and unchanging are not bad or good but what matters is how you feel and how it affects each character and each character has a different facet explored.

That actually makes more sense after your explanation, thanks for that.

I'm also still not convinced on where exactly Chisaki develops her feelings for Tsumugu and vice-versa. Maybe its due to the fact that Tsumugu had no personality in the first half, or because of the time skip. But regardless, people are saying that she fell in love with him before the time skip, and I just don't see the clear signs of where this starts. It was like they were "kind of friends," then during the boatdrift ceremony, Chisaki and Kaname save Tsumugu, and she holds or should i say embraces him, which I thought was incredibly out of place.

Still I can't help but feel that the message the show sends is still a bit off. I feel like one of the biggest messages was to unite the surface and the sea people, as shown with Akari and her husband, and the struggle between the two sides during the boatdrift ceremony. As such, would it not be fair to say that Tsumugu is the one that most represents the surface, with Manaka being one that most represents the sea (although one could argue Hikari fills this role, but for the sake of relationships I'm going with Manaka)? With that in mind with the first scene in the first episode of Tsumugu pulling her up in such a "fateful" meeting, it almost seems like having the two pair up would be the best way to show that there is a "unity" of sorts between the two sides. Although Tsumugu does end up with someone from the sea anyways, that's just how I thought of it, it started off kinda on the route I mentioned earlier, but then switched off into a real love vs. childish crush, which you explained in your post.

Weak ending... This was no conclusion. This anime was labled as a "romance" anime and it did, throughout portay the interactions PRIOR to a relationship. But, not such relationship was explored between any of the main characters.
Kiss? Declaration of love? Nope, all is implied, nothing is concrete.

What do we get then? Beach gazing. . .
3/5 weak open ending, does not commit in the end. Like a cake, this anime was made so well, so sweet, but the topping, was a plain white—it was lackluster. After what was a very enjoyable anime, there is not much of a conclusion, it was in fact the epitome of an open ending that disparages the overall rating.

Open ending brings the score down to 3/5. I wish the anime committed, instead of being afraid to damage its rating with a 'bad ending'.

Just finished this series. What a complicated love stories. I am fine with the ending but ever since early episode I am always rooting for Chiisaki to be with Hikari. My heart broke when I found out that Chiisaki's feelings changed. But fortunately the ending turns out a happy one. A heart warming series indeed.

The ending is nice, and I think it is really clear, so I don't think it's an open ending at all. The pairings are pretty much decided. And for those who haven't been satisfied with the ending, I will take a quote from Tatami Galaxy : "Nothing else is as boring to tell as a story of successful love." :P

Oh well, but in my personal opinion, I'm sad... I really like Miuna, I was hoping so much for a happy ending for her, and ends up having my hope crushed, but oh well, it just not right to downgrade a series by a single biased opinion though -_-"

@yaHzee:


It starts in episode 2. Chisaki, and not Manaka, was the character who noticed Tsumugu's actions without being obvious about it (building). Manaka noticed because "ohh hot guy fished me up!" (crush).

Introvert and quiet =! no personality. It was Chisaki who flirted with him in episode 12, teasing "girls don't like intuitive boys." She was the person who opened to him, challenged him (episode 4) and he was the person who got under her skin, yet she trusted and their relationship was built that way. In episode 9, she's hurt by what he says to her and Kaname notices she only makes those faces for Tsumugu. In the following episodes, Kaname calls Tsumugu "you know who" in front of Chisaki and she gets "dense" on purpose which prompts Kaname to sigh with a painful smile. She jumped when their elbows touched in episode 12, blushing for no reason and she was again the one who gets a close up looking at his mother and asking his family issues, not Manaka.

Chisaki was graduating her feelings from Hikari. She let them out, felt better after it. When she saved Tsumugu, she wasn't thinking straight, she acted on emotion high, reacting when she embraced him, that was what she wanted and Kaname knew it. He had noticed how she slowly fell for him. Tsumugu was blunt, intuitive and quiet. But, like Hikari, he was a man of action: this is what Chisaki liked of Hikari, she was impressed by his actions as a child rather than his personality: Chisaki wants someone she can depend on. Tsumugu was a man who did things before he even talked about them, that's why she noticed his actions: that pond, before anyone else asked to cover their backs, that was the moment she thought he was a great guy. Kaname was too passive unfortunately, I think, he's better fit for Sayu and I'm glad he has a chance of happiness with her.


Still I can't help but feel that the message the show sends is still a bit off. I feel like one of the biggest messages was to unite the surface and the sea people, as shown with Akari and her husband, and the struggle between the two sides during the boatdrift ceremony.


Akari was also Itaru's second love, she signified change for his lifestyle and hers. The "racist" plot ended in the first half of the show. That's what Hikari imagined it to be but because he's an insecure teenager who is projecting his issues in the big picture (which is fine), but when you move to the other characters: Tsumugu expressed no interest on Manaka, and he was always attentive to Chisaki who had more real interaction and progress with him than with Kaname and Hikari. Tsumugu treated Manaka kind of like he did to Miuna in the second half: a kid he gave advice to.

Chisaki and Tsumugu always kind of acted like the group big sister/big brother even before the timeskip.

While the show has a fairytale structure at times, it's also a coming of age. If Manaka needed to shed her childishness, she couldn't end up with Tsumugu who represented a childish attachment to the sun. If Chisaki needed to shed hers, she had to end up with someone who wasn't from her safe box of friends.

@Thess

You really explain a lot. Yeah Tsumugu and Chisaki always act like big brother/sister in the group. That's why I like Chisaki because she's more mature. Actually I rooted for Chisaki to be with Hikari but they're too different to each other. And I haven't seen any nice interaction between them. Since the time-skip, I already know there's no chance between them. It would be weird if Chisaki end up to be with a kid 5 years younger than her.
Maybe the reason I rooted for them is because I like Chisaki, and Hikari is the MC. Even though I didn't get to see the pair I want to see. But oh well, I am relieved that the series turn out to be a happy one.

I just really don't like Tsumugu, I don't particularly like Hikari either, but Tsumugu was just nothing, not interesting, doesn't lose anything, managed to get everything he wanted anyway. Hikari may suffer from 'retarded male MC' syndrome, but he is more likeable than Tsumugu, to me.

There seemed to be very little development overall, and I know people are going to get into the nitty gritty, Chisaki growing as a person, allowing herself to move on from the past her friends were still stuck in, Manaka becoming stronger, standing up for herself, accepting her feelings and doing things for herself. The thing is though, compared to the start of the show, the only thing that has changed is that Chisaki for some reason likes Tsumugu now (Stockholm Syndrome! (yes I know it started way before then, it still seemed kind of bland, and slightly forced)), Kaname still gets jack shit and is no different from when the series began, with Hikari still being a dumb-fuck who manages to blunder his way through obstacles.

There are, of course, the subtleties, the talks between certain characters in the first half of the series, which attempts to nurture growth between them, alluding to the real feelings of those characters opposed to the ones shown on the surface. I don't really care about who got with who (although I liked Miuna and Sayu as people way more than the rest), but it was annoying that the series just didn't seem to go anywhere, with a pretty boring ending. I also didn't really enjoy AnoHana, primarily for the same reasons, albeit there was a lot more going on in AnoHana, due mostly to it being a much shorter series, but overall they're not really all that different.

I gave it a 6/10, it wasn't really a stand-out to me and seemed to fall flat. It is quite pretty, and the cultures/history are really interesting. The story and characters (bar two) left much to be desired, however.

I highly doubt a season 2 to come out but I sincerely enjoyed this anime. I was waiting for the climax and see how this series would go forth and I truly did enjoy it. Thank goodness for Chisaki and Tsumugu, I'm really glad she confessed her feelings and accepted Tsumugu's. Whew!

I was getting annoyed that Chisaki was scared of changing but I guess it was purposely done to show her for the five years how everyone else was asleep. Also essentially having to strengthen her relationship with Tsumugu. All in all, 9/10 for me. I very much enjoyed this anime and am sad its over! D;

This was a great series. But for more, it had two flaws:

1- Sayu and Kaname. There were so few scenes between Kaname and Sayu post time skip that it was difficult to see the romance between them. Even now, Sayu just looks like a pity trophy for Kaname so he wouldnt end up alone since he was the character who went through the most suffering in the anime. (episode 13 FYI)



Sayu Kaname's pity trophy? i think ur bit wrong here, Kaname always thought that no1 is W8 for him & so on & on, he say'd it himself, so Sayu words touched him so deeply that he decided to give it a chance, give her a chance, he did not promise her anything, her words made him see how pretty she is inside & i also think that made him fall far her even if its just 1%, so its not about Pity

i wish to see the season 2 of this anime, but i think that's impossible, because the ending shows that the anime ENDS there. no more space for extension, i feel sad for that though..... but still, i enjoy this anime to the fullest, one of the best Drama, Fantasy, Romance Genre i've ever watch!! :D

great anime up until the last episode I don't know about anyone else but for me the whole point in watching a romance type anime is to actually see who ends up with who not "oh I have feelings for you" and not have couples actually ending up together rather than leaving it up to us to make out who ends up with who because who knows what the writers intention of who the couples are meant to be.
overall graet story and delivered some good feels in the show which was good mostly in the case of miuna :( just very anticlimatical for me

Beautiful episode. Really liked how it ended and Tsugumu x Chisaki ship sailed beautifully. Could have used more proof-that-so-and-so-are-couples but I think it's pretty obvious. The entire anime was an emotional ride for me and I truly regret not watching this sooner. I have to give it 10/10 just because (for me) the characters are amazing and developed well, the music, art, drama were all heartfelt, and it's just all addicting and lovable all together.

Overall, it was quite a lovely anime, made me teary-eyed throughout and was breathtaking to watch. The characters were all so very memorable and the music was absolutely mesmerizing. Although I really wished there was just a little more, I'm still pretty satisfied with the ending, it ended quite nicely and definitely wrapped things up. It was nice that everyone was able to finally move on with their lives without any further hesitation or doubt in themselves.

This series was wonderful and beautiful. It not only showed what its like to love and be loved but it also tells us that nothing is fated. As time goes on, things change, people change, everything changes. Even the way you feel about someone. But those feelings may also stay the same. I have the feeling that this show is telling us to accept the things that have come to be.

I love Manaka, shes so cute.

But in the end, the foreshadowed relationships ended up happening:

Hikari x Manaka
Tsugumi x Chiisaki
Kaname x Sayu (kind of...)

and Miuna will have that guy that won't give up on her. Not the best ending for Miuna even though it seemed like she took over the role of the main herione after the first half.

Overall though, this series probably deserves a 9.5/10 but I'll give it a 10/10 because it really got to me. Such a good anime. Haven't seen something so sincere since AnoHana.

It's an open-romance happy ending
You're free to choose your shipping because the couples aren't really locked
Or something like that?
It's locked for ChisakixTsumugu, KanamexSayu though xD

Miuna deserved a better ending
Oh well...
Miuna still the best girl!! xD

Man... feeling quite sad for Miuna. Though at least the rest had some sort of pairings at the end.

Just finished the whole anime in less than 3 days and it definitely gave me a lot of feels.
I still find it quite messed up in the fact that this whole mess was due to the Sea God misunderstanding the Ojoshi-sama's feelings towards him. I found the ending quite satisfying for me, though I would've wanted more but I felt that it was better than most endings from other animes I've seen.
I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN

Man... feeling quite sad for Miuna. Though at least the rest had some sort of pairings at the end.

Just finished the whole anime in less than 3 days and it definitely gave me a lot of feels.

well the misunderstanding is Ojoshi-sama fault, she never spoke off her feelings, she can't expect that him to mind read her, its a good lesson what mite happen if u don't speak about ur feelings with ur partner, it can brake u2 up that's one message this anime gives

but i agree, it is messed up that the fact that this whole mess was due to the Sea God misunderstanding the Ojoshi-sama's feelings towards him, but its not only messed up, its kind of stupid to LOL

A beautifully well paced anime with a great story and likable characters, definitely one that is worth re-watching. Although the main characters never truly started 'going out', they made it abundantly clear how they felt about one another by the end of this episode.

I started this anime on a whim, and it ends up being in my top 3 favorite. I think that this anime was the most perfect anime for me that I've ever seen. The length (26 episode) was great. I hate short, but I also don't like things to drag along with no developments. The length was literally perfect. The music fit so well, the art was great, the story was refreshing, and the characters were so heartfelt and easy to relate to.

I don't think the ending did it any injustice at all. Yes, Miuna was my favorite character in the end but her ending was fine the way it is. Of all people it seems like she truly understands love and is happy. Maybe that guy from school will keep trying, just like the many characters in the series, maybe not. You can't give a concrete conclusion to a series that has a theme chance vs no change.

Well, that's just my opinion anyway. This anime was perfect in my eyes - I'll keep this one with me forever

this anime turned to shit when Miuna got older (no pedo)

on a srs note.. bland characters, semi-snorefest, but 11/10 art

mediocre overall.. a waste of high budget anime imo...

8/10

Shipping for Miuna x Hikari, im not fond with Manaka.
Good series overall but I think 26 episodes are long. The dramas were repetitive, and I don't like the end pairing.
8/10

Is there more on the story? Because the manga is still ongoing.

I thought it will be a tragic end for Manaka so I started to root for Miuna x Hikari. And I dont really like Manaka to begin with, she reminds me of Madoka.

So let me get this straight:

Hikari x Manaka
Chisaki X Tsumugu
Kaname x Sayu
Miuna x Random school guy

Well i'm mostly fine with those pairings but i don't like Chisaki x Tsumugu pairing, i'd rather to see Chisaki with Kaname instead, poor Kaname he always tried his best so Chisaki will notice him, i mean Chisaki is too good for Tsumugu, probably because they lived under the same roof for 5 years, imagine if Kaname didn't fall into the sea, then things would be different.

In the other side I'm glad that Manaka have her memories back, both Manaka and Hikari love each other, but there was no kiss EHMERGERD

Miuna x Random school guy, lmfao i know this thing would happen, it'd be better if the ending was a harem ending, like Hikari x Manaka x Miuna LOL

I don't know but this show is so depressing at in some aspects

Overall score 9/10, would give it 10/10 if Chisaki ended up with Hikari instead of Tsumugu

Chisaki during the hibernation should have lived at the house of Hikari's sister since Chisaki and her have known each other their whole lives.

Yeah i agree with your statement, Akari even offered her to live in their house untill the crappy old geezer ( Tsumugu's grandfather ) says "Oh, you house is packed, let her live in our house instead !" like seriously ? you barely know her isn't that creepy ? plus both Tsumugu and his grandpa are males, is it normal to ask a growing teenage girl that you barely kow to live in your house ? i can't find the logic on this lol,and everyone seems fine with that decision. I mean Tsumugu's grandfater can't just make a decision by his own or at least let Chisaki decide where she wants to live.

Chisaki being at Tsumugu's house was just garbage.

^^^ THIS, i exactly thought the same thing, that's so cheesy and cliché, i was like what the heck ?!?!

When he was going to drown, he gets Ena. If he were to fall off a cliff, he would probably get wings.

ROFL, you just made my day, i mean you're right, we're talking about luck here, you got to live with your crush under the same roof, then you got Ena. Tsumugu is probably the luckiest guy ever. I think they're exploiting this character too much

y123y said:
Kaname, he really went through a lot. That episode where Chisaki was hugging Tsumugu and she forgot about Kaname at the boat, really broke my heart. That was just brutal.

It must be tough for Kaname, to see your crush hugging someone else just a second before he hibernate, Kaname deserves and award for enduring all of those feelings, poor guy. I was happy at first when Kaname confessed his feeling to Chisaki and she was surprised, i like her expression a lot ♥ but too bad for Kaname tho.

Yay, I LOVED THIS ENDING. Happy, good message, everything. Also Tsumugu/Chisaki and Hikari/Manaka are canon which I shipped so I'm a little biased. And I guess Kaname/Sayu is on its way there in the end?

Yup, this anime was totally worth staying up late for instead of writing papers.

Possibly in my top 5...

10/10.

What the hell is this ending? Miuna deserved hikari and that annoying manaka should've just stayed in the sea god's side as a self sacrifice for everyone. I hate open endings it's like the writer is afraid to upset anyone and chose this forgettable ending.

episode = 5/10 painful to watch
Series = 7/10 would've been 8/10 if the ending showed Hikari X Miuna and
Sea god X manaka

Not only that, but the way Manaka was ignoring Hikari this episode when she finally got her memories and feelings back... If I was Hikari, I would have stopped caring for Manaka. I mean, Hikari did alot in this anime to get Manaka and her memories/feelings back, and this is how Manaka treats him? Heck no.

Im not saying that Hikari should have ended up with Miuna since Hikari doesn't seem to like her that way, but he should have definitely forgotten about Manaka and start focusing more on Miuna (just the way Kaname was going to start focusing more on Sayu).

All Manaka did in this anime was crush on Tsumugu in the first half and make Hikari's life very difficult the entire anime.

Im not gonna lie, I was very disappointed when Manaka woke up around episode 20. I was enjoying the anime alot without her. The anime had this grown up setting without her, which was very enjoyable. And when she woke up, she was very very annoying.



1) Manaka did not had crush on Tsumugu, she just thought that she likes him, have u never heard of people who mistake some feelings for love & then they do mistake & start dating a wrong person?

2) how Manaka treated him was not her fault, she did it cause reasons i mentioned above & after that cause of her memory loss

3) if Hikari starts focusing more on Miuna then both will be miserable, cause when he is with Miuna he thinks off Manaka & then u would start to hate Hikari cause he started with Miuna & hurt her

depends, if she reject him, i guess he can, but until things weren't clear (& they weren't clear), in that case no, & he followed hes heart


also they way he said that was like, he should just do it right away, its not so easy & he can't let it go if he sees a chance & doing that would be out of hes char

If people remember the episode where Uroko-sama asked Akira if she wanted to have her memories of love erased, that was a good foreshadowing.

The topic on this last episode (and throughout this second half of the anime) is clearly the feelings of love that one has.
Tsumugu and Chisaki are a canon pair, they both cleared their feelings, and with the village awake now, she finally moved on, she even had already a life at the surface.
Hikari and Manaka also is canon, even Kanade said that they should go out, as in, "advance to the next step".

As for Miuna, they hinted with that guy who had a crush on her, and Kanade x Sayu is something that will take time, like Kanade said.
Love is more than confessions and kiss, I think that they showed enough of how the characters felt for each other throughout the series so that we know how they really feel to each other.

As for the open ending, we saw bits of the life of everyone now, I do admit that I am really interested to see how it would go with them, and I wanted this to continue, but the open ending is great as it is.
