| Yay was looking forward to this last two PA works didn't really do it for me personally (was mainly due to my lack of knowledge of those series subjects) But this being an 2 cour show,hints of love triangles everywhere, some Discrimination between the land and sea people i can only hope this turns out good,Fall season has already been shaping up to be pretty great so far. |
 |
| Super cute anime. I love it! I can sense a lot of character growth in the next 20 episodes. I wonder who she ends up with, if anyone? |

| I wasn't originally planning to watch this but I ended up enjoying the first episode a lot and the art is beautiful. I'm looking forward to the next episode! |
| NTR ahahahah, well played. Looks good so far |
 |
| Typical drama but with an interesting setting. The art is nice. I'll keep watching. This might turn out really good. |
 |
| Kaname <3 Chisaki <3 Hikari <3 Manaka <3 Tsumugu <3 Fishknee... hate that MC kinda annoying, really like the art and music but i dont know about the character and story so far.. |
 |
| Great first episode, and the art is simply beautiful. Loved that fish knee. |
| I was little surprised how this will have 26 eps, but I think it can get pretty interesting. ED song is beautiful.. like that fishknee |
  |
| Oh, this like a dream ... i'm in love with this anime. <3 |
| Not sure if I will keep watching it but the first episode was entertaining. Will give it another 3-4 episodes before I decide. |
| That was much better than I expected. Loving the fantasy setting. Characters, not so much...yet. But damn we've got some complex relationships in our hands here...love triangles...or even squares every where O_o I can smell the drama coming miles away. And I think I'm gonna like it esp since its 2 cour so there'll be enough time to develop the characters^^ |

Kurini said: Oh, I thought it was just a love triangle, but it's a love polygon now, I have to stay strong! Interesting setting! :D And the ED is very pleasant to my ears! i cant even do it, every second i watch the show i get this annoying feeling in my gut (literally, its like i havent eaten or someone punched me in the stomach, its awful) |
 |
| Meh. Ok so far. Hikari seems a bit of a bully while Manaka seems a bit wet (no pun intended). |
Solkiskey said: A good P.A Works anime? Tell me it isn't so! It isn't so because Uchouten Kazoku was good. |
| Reminds me of AnoNatsu with the whole love pentagon thing, though I hope it deals with it in a more effective way. The characters are all kind of childish with defining stereotypes, but I'll cope. Actually, I was pleasantly suprised. Hope to see some serious development considering it's a two cour (first two-cour show by P.A. since Hanasaku Iroha in 2011). The ending song was great. |
| Well, it wasn't bad I suppose. The concept is really interesting. But the characters, not really. So many mentally challenged heroines. The fishknee was hilarious. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| That fishknee was impressive lol. Loved the animation. This show looks quite promising. |
 |
| I can guess where this is going already.. most likely about how Manaka can never be with that pretty boy because sea people apparently can't stay in the surface for too long (and the discrimination and stuffs) and that Uroko God is probably going to be like Ursula granting the little mermaid (Manaka) her wish to be with pretty boy.. Hikari is way too rough and annoying, his treatment towards Manaka is too abusive and he expects her to love him? unless Manaka is masochistic like Saito from ZnT that's not gonna happen. Other than that, it seems to be shaping up as lovely series. The artwork and music are top notch as expected of P.A. Works. Any series with Kana Hanazawa and Ai Kayano can never go wrong. It really reminds of Hanasaku Iroha. |

| Hikari comes off as a jerk, hopefully we get a backstory on why. Looks beautiful and the setting is interesting but the plot seems rather like your typical love-triangle drama. I'll watch it up to at least halfway. |

| Wow, there is a lot of sexual frustration isn't there? Great episode. |

| I loved this episode, the comedy was amazing with the fishknee... I laughed so hard I had to pause it when it let out that farting noise at first xD, I'm definitely watching more~ |

btym said: I have a terrible feeling about this anime It's going to a horrible mess of unrequited loves and no matter how it ends, 90% of the cast is going to be heartbroken Shows like that aren't fun nor are they usually good Yeah, this is a risky show. I don't know if it's going to depress me or cheer me. |

| I feel bad for hikari He might have a reason why he hates the people outside the sea And the reason why he acts like a bitch... it's bec. he is jealous!! He is worried that one of the surface people might take manaka from him(but ofc he forgot that manaka is not his property) But mehhh my vote still goes to hikari x manaka |
| Wow, don't know why but has some amazing Anohana feels, like I can keep watching Anohana from where it lstopped. Anyway, good episode already liking this ep, not sure how his father drinks sake underwater but anyway, think this might be the best first ep so far this season. Looking forward to next week. |
| Damn u Okada and your love polygon, although I like her works but this is just too much from the get go ;_; well, nevertheless ima keep watching. |
| Cool concept. Kinda reminds me of ShinSekai Yori. That Hikari guy is a bit annoying, though. |
| nooooooooooo dont know what to feel about polygons Kaname -> Chisaki -> Hikari -> Manaka -> Tsumugu |

| No, no, no, no... Why this must have such love!? Nice idea, amazing animation, pretty cool characters, but why LOVE is just such... -.- I know I will be crying at the end... I don't know I should watch it... |
| So it wasn't only me who felt this series resembling ShinSekai Yori. Taken a liking to P.A. works, and this one with no doubt feels interesting like some of the other works I've seen before. I hope it'll turn out to be a good show. |
| Finally, The show which i've been waiting for about 3 months. Good Start. It was somehow interesting though it didn't live up to my expectations. Apart From That, I ACTUALLY LOVE THE FACT THAT THERE'S A SHOW WITH THE THEME OF A LOVE TRIANGLE/POLYGON in it. I'm so happy right now that i was finally given the chance to watch a show like Ano Natsu. I Hope it gets better and FOR THOSE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT anything in general, just fuck off. No one's forcing you to so if you don't like this show, then don't even start watching it. |
| Must say that this anime defiantly kept my interest the whole way through Dunno how I feel about Tsumugu, his coming on a bit to strong for my liking. I do like Hiradaira the most so far, will be interesting to see how the rest of this goes. Looking forward to it :D |
 |
| High chances of the plot going full cliché on this conflict between surface people and underwater people through Manaka and Tsumugu, but I'm definitely gonna watch this. |

Vatskan said: A love story filled with bullying, jealousy and crying? I think I'll pass. But seriously, Hikari is way to abusive. I don't understand how he can expect Manaka to like him, he seems like a very selfish person to me. Manaka herself is too much of a crybaby for my taste as well. I don't think it's easy to base characters off of one eps. I think when characters have issues it gives them time to grow through out the series and have a good understanding of overcoming those issues! I am a sucker for a good fantasy!! I think this may be one of my fav's this season we will have to see!! I'm excited. I loved how they created a level of mythology to go along with the story as well!!!

lovelydeath said: I don't think it's easy to base characters off of one eps. I think when characters have issues it gives them time to grow through out the series and have a good understanding of overcoming those issues! I'm going to tackle this title with similar belief. Well, it's more of a hope in my case because the first episode was incredibly boring and the characters seem cliche as hell (childish girl who you can't stop thinking just why the heck everybody would want to hit on that, arrogant childhood friend that will proclaim his love to aforementioned gal by bullying her, calling her names and being a complete prick to his more empathic rival, etc.) but hey, it's only the first episode. Let me see if it gets better. |
| the underwater animation where freaking amazing. so far i like what i see, they've semi-established the pace of the show by showing the emotional problem in the first episode which give the characters time to grow as the show goes on and build on a foundation that has been set for em. cant wait till the next episode |
| well. dont really know what to say it was animated pretty amazingly, and the underwater scenes were pretty fantastic for a tv series but its one hell of a weird show. ill give this a 3 ep rule, see how it goes |
 |
| For me, this is going to be something a bit weird that I'm going to enjoy when I probably shouldn't. |
| I like this, but it looks like a setting for some NTR lol Hope it doesn't turn out that way! |
