| AMAZING episode!! |
| It was a nice episode. We got Boltz swimming with jellyfishes in their hair, a cute black big creature that grows tentacles and a nice ass when he gets to his true size, tsundere Shinsha and Phos' new legs. |
 I'm watching anime since 2012. I also play games, sometimes. Don't bother me if you want to 'become friends' or things like that. It's tiresome. I know you just want to collect some meaningless numbers. Thought: How many people sparked H. Charlotta just for blue pot? |
| The Lunarians are infinitely greedy... but apparently weak. Run Phos run! Was pretty funny when washed up on the shore. |
  |
| Cool new legs, that was worth it. Grreat episode. |
 |
| "Umi ni... Umi ni kimi ni niau shigoto wa nakatta" That voice acting! Unbelievably great episode! I think it has been the best episode of the anime so far! And it's not just the new sets of legs that are incredibly fast! Being able to merge with parts which actually generated from "Flesh" makes the theory of Bone, Flesh and Soul believable! So, far it looks like one the season's best! So underrated! 5/5 |

| I think the legs made out of the shell were a beautiful detail; i'm glad they decide not to take the road of 'all the others are bad' and instead showed us the complexity of characters and in this case of the co-existence of different species and how they try to cope with surviving. I think the so called 'legend' was really nicely developed and couldn't help but be entranced by it since it recalls us of ourselves as humans. Phos is progressively becoming less annoying but at the same time, it's becoming less herself. |

| Good episode, pretty confusing first part. I don't get what was up with the snail and how the brother was basically able to save himself. |
 |
| When Phos washed up on the sea talking about the fact that they couldn't find a job for Cinnabar, Cinnabar was just looking at Phos like "This bitch crazy". Even with Phos' legs lost along with the memories of some of the other Gems (something that had been mentioned before that I'd almost forgotten about, since it didn't seem like it affected Phos at all when they thought it would), they still didn't lose their memories of Cinnabar...maybe those are stored somewhere special, like the heart? :3 |

| Another nice episode :-D can't wait to see how Phos's new arms come about. |

| I thought if exciting plot occurred I would like this show more, but this episode is a bad sign that I won't. I guess that's what I deserve for watching a show without robots... I can only hope that Phos stops being incompetent, so I can have at least one character to care about. |
 |
| Phos lost some of her legs and memories in exchange for a faster speed with that new legs |
Sean_Nessman said: Stop watching, you're missing all the good part. For starter, the dialogs and relationships btw the gem girls, the mythology, the colorful fights, the music. So, pls stop watching. I don't think you'll get anything out of it anymore, it's already ep 5. You're right, beyond the visuals all I got by the end was a longer list of complaints x/ |
|
| Ohh damn another awesome episode. Phos literally has some new kicks!! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Nice episode and development! Quite liked it, let's see what's next. |
 |
| Yeah now it's starting to grow on me. The thing I like the most of this anime is the mythology. The visuals are great. |
| So in the end they send Phos home. King probably doesn't want Phos to be give up on herself so easily. |
 |
| Poor Phos lost their legs and parts of their memories :/ I hoped the slug people could collect it from the bottom of the ocean since they didn't seem to go too far away from there, but I guess currents might have moved it away... Well, at least Phos now has superspeed, even if they will have to learn some things, like poor Jade's name :( I can't help but laugh every time they shelter themselves from their master's rage :D |
 |
| Vent under oppai. What is that thing? Kawaii? Fell into the water. It used vine whip. Phos got hit in the face. Phos turns 300 today? Shitty day, huh? Phos popped up behind her. Master stomping. Dem new legs. Phos forgot Jade. lol Phos upskirt shot. Phos faster than Sonic. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Did anyone else think it didn't make sense how the Slug Brother could have escaped at just about any time because he was so big it was easy for him to escape the Lunarians? Like B*tch if all it took to get the slug to get away and go on a rampage was for Phos to yell at it, the Lunarians aren't thinking straight. I know that it's because the slug is stupid and can't think for itself until it's in the water, but the Lunarians should have thought this through more. |

| I actually had to force myself away from this show, because I've just been captivated by what I've seen so far. Bizarre, engaging, intelligent, and fun, how I wish I found this series sooner. The character interactions are dynamic, entertaining, and believable, the dips into philosophy and self-worth never feel like lectures, and the gimmick to the extent it is one blends seamlessly into each character to where one forgets they're talking about precious rock properties. I know not the worth of phosphorous, but this has been a real gem This is probably the most raw, unironic fun I've had with an artsy anime in a really long time. Probably since Penguindrum |
 |
| Phos became flash this episode. Next episodes title being "first battle",i think we will see her in action |
 |
| cant help but think cinnabar is a bitch for not telling the others, 5 meters away from her, that phos is back instead of going all the way back to school and keep quit about it. This show is seriously interesting, a shame I did not notice it when it aired. But I guess I can enjoy fixed BD animation this way. Just when I started to like the jellyfish he she it disappear. Mehhh. |

| Whoooooo, upgrade :D Happy 300th bday, Phos~ Best present ever, amirite? ;D ;D Aculeatus has one sexy ass way of talking lol *O* I knew Sensei was just worried and relieved Phos was alright lolol :P If only we could all trip as gracefully as Doc xD |

| Aww I feel bad for Jade Must protect, she's the best girl.. for reactions xD Our girl just got superpower, "Flash" girl looks good :P |
"Signature removed"   |
| Couldn't Cinnabar have told the other ones that Phos had been washed up? The rest of the gems hadn't gone too far at all. Niiice, Phos has now spiral thigh highs. It's like she has two abilities: talking to sea slugs and run fast, but I wonder if her communication ability wasn't lost with her legs. |

SaiDrew said: Couldn't Cinnabar have told the other ones that Phos had been washed up? The rest of the gems hadn't gone too far at all. I think it's because Cinnabar really doesnt want to deal with any of the other gems. Instantly recognized Kugimiya Rie as Alex, despite the few lines she had. Damn Phos got some fancy legs, super fast aswell! This show really feels unique, not seen anything quite like it before and it's a breath of fresh air for sure! |
 |
| WOW. This episode is literally so beautiful |
| Characters are flat and the story hasn't really gone anywhere yet. Despite this, the animation does have its excellent moments and I am intrigued about the whole concept of 'bone,' 'flesh,' and 'spirit.' We'll see... |
| Poor Phos. She lost a bit of her memory, but now she has a damn cool and and fast legs. |
 |
| i can alredy feel that somewhere in the serie, when cinnabar and phos' relationship develops, one of them will forget the other one, that's going to be some great drama moment. at first i was put off by phos because i usually hate overjoyful characters, that's why the manga was on-hold for a while, but after starting the anime i must say i'm growing to like her a lot, i might make space for her in my favourite list, either her or cinnabar, i'm expecting some lesbian romance with rocks as the interested subjects. |
| Rip to phos's legs. At least these new ones have potential to be great I love the water cgi |
 |
| Snail's brother is pretty crazy but strong. Phos is still alive, thanks to the other snail. Without legs tho but she got some new ones and damn.. those are fast. I'm glad and hyped to see her run at top speed with those legs. She may be useful now. And maybe we'll see some Phos action? |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Phosphophyllite may have lost 1/3 of her memories along with her legs, but in return, she got these pair of new sweet, black and white striped legs that allow her to run at an insane speed, there is absolutely no exaggeration whatsoever when I say that. This pair of legs is straight-up supersonic. At last, finally, our poor little Phos is now capable of at least defending herself by running the fuck away from danger, or if she feels a little hardheaded, launch herself towards any flying Lunarioans in the sky. Therefore in a way, she sacrificed 1/3 of her body parts and memories, along with her job as the encyclopedia researcher ON TOP of being scored by Sensei and exhausting the hell out of the other gems, all to eventually be rewarded by these new pair of heels. Pretty sweet... |
  |
| That is what happens when you go against your Sensai. Well in return, he got new pair of legs that are more durable and fast. |

| There was a lot of powerful moments like when Phos was found by Cinnabar. Also their new legs are really cool! I think for an anime where the characters bodies are a big part of the plot one could call Phos's new legs character development in some way. |
 |
| I guess all these other gems are doing nothing but cleaning after Phos's mess for quite a while now. Now don't really blame them always picking on him. Though that was some neat transformation towards the end. |
 |
| Phos is ready to throw her life away. I guess she got saved quite easily then I wonder how Phos will get stronger |
 |
| Phos got new legs, now she can run like Sonic. |
| Based Certified. I love anime armpits. |
| i dont get how the brother escaped, i thought that was odd, it looked like he didnt need any help at all i still wanna know how this gems are born, like do they divide their bodies or what |
 |
| A great episode once again with my personal highlight being Cinnabar and Phos talking after Phos washed up on the beach. I can't express enough how much I love their relationship and struggle being at the center of the show. |
