The Fuji mountain looks beautiful <3

Lol, I like how they think they found an UFO. Ah silly kids. It was a pleasant episode overall and felt really natural.

Apparently UFO is just a claim used by Kokona to divert Aoi's attention from seeing Mt.Fuji too early so it wouldn't ruin their plan to show the surprising beauty of Mt.Fuji.

The op really reminds me of A-channel and some of works from Shaft.

The background is also surprisingly real in many ways.

Yeah, the "ufo" was just an attempt to distract Aoi.

Does she really not realize where they are? :D

Otherwise, a surprise hiking trip is a cool idea. Be interesting to see Aoi's reaction when they get to the top and she sees Fuji-san so close nearby.

It was a little weird, but I kind of liked it.

Wow that OP reminded me a lot about Monogatari series. :D Has the feel of it.

Nice episode.

Kokona fangirling over Mr. Kita was pretty cute. (^^)

Hinata and pals are trying their best to surprise Aoi with Mt. Fuji!
The landscape almost revealed it earlier than they planned. Kokona's UFO diversion was very effective!

Good episode. Really loving the beautiful animation. Mt. Fuji's close up view would be just as great!

So they found a new mountain to climb and they have a challenge of making sure Aoi doesn't see mount Fuji before they reach the top.
Which is harder then it sounds.
And it seems like the picked a nice mountain ones again.
I guess just to views make mountain climbing more then worth it.

They went through all that planning just to surprise Aoi! What great friends :) I also love sightseeing through this anime, although we haven't really gotten to the ending point yet of the trail, but it was still nice seeing them switch trains and then walking in the neighborhood before hitting finally hitting the trail.

The art in the OP is really nice. Kokone did a good job distracting Aoi to keep her from seeing Mt.Fuji before they started. I guess the climbing is going to get a little more difficult now that they've reached the mountain trail. I'm sure the view at the summit is going to be beautiful.

The OP is pretty great, but this series is going so slow. They'll need a third season for them to really get into hiking and climbing at this rate.

I really like the colors in OP, really nice.

This show is as informative as ever, really love that about it.

Actually I like the pacing, though I still want Aoi to see Mt. Fuji already.

I was expecting someone to spill the secret about where they would go to. Nice to see they all kept their mouths shut.

Aoi's reaction will be interesting to see.

Wierd OP, ED is still nice though. I liked this episode, finally they got to hiking and the way they distracted Aoi was great.
I can't wait for next ep!

the OP was pretty unique. not sure i like the art used in the opening, but it kinda feels like a friendly guide for mountain hiking, which is probably what they were aiming for and definitely fits the anime

nice save Kokona..!

Finally up on Crunchyroll.

Kokona cluelessly pursuing a really hard climb.

Did Kaede choose that page deliberately? I wonder how much time Siro spent choosing that one...

Now you just need to find a good route to climb it so the view comes at the end. Even if that means a slightly tougher route. Here's hoping it is only slightly tougher, though.

She'd already seen Fuji from the shopping district but mountains are always so much better to see from close up. And from in amongst the mountains themselves.

That UFO distraction...

I'm starting to think I should write something like this just as an excuse to get out on the hills for "research purposes".
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

Flower fields can actually be awesome.. But I never really see them, to be honest.. I mean, in our country you won't really see them in the wild that much.. I doubt there are flower fields.. But maybe I never really researched if there are or not.. I know there are some which are for selling.. Not too much of these, though, but there are some.. But in wild - I have no idea..

The first mountaineering session of the season has started. Also, this is the highly praised Masashi Ishihama OP and it's absolutely adorable.
