Not much really happened. The yacht club cleaned their own ship and Marika would go to the Bentemaru to clean it. Marika eventually loses her captain ring which angers the crew when they are finally released, but Grunhilde picked it up and the yacht club girls get to show the Bentemaru crew what they are made of.

Marika can be surprisingly clumsy at times losing the master key to her vessel it could have been a very costly mistake for her but things turned out alright.
Hilde trying to get closer towards Marika with the key was pretty nice to see.
And Marika's way of cleaning was funny as well tho taking all her crews belongings and storing them in the clubs warehouse didn't seem like the brightest thing to do.

Marika was tired and overworked throughout the episode, she even nearly lost her ID ring for good if it wasn't for Grunhilde.

Ai's moments were the highlight of this episode oh and next episode it seems she's good at sailing on a skiff, what a talented loli.

Ok, they lost me. If Gruier gave the ring to Marika, how the hell was she able to pilot the Bentenmaru before meeting her? (or what was that scene about? seems like I missed it the first time somehow...)

Also, why didn't Grunhilde turn the ring she "picked up" (more like caught) back to Marika right away? was she trying to show off or something?

Maybe she wanted to bo back to Bentenmaru... but showing off option is also possible (she is royalty after all)

And that piloting thing - as far as I recall she wasn't locking down the ship before, someone from crew was always around so she didn't need to do it. But since they were gone now she would be able to do it.
It wasn't also needed to pilot the ship (they were doing before she came) it was just to override commands, securing the ship and such.

Marika needs to relax a lot. This pirating is getting to her. I kinda expected her to lose that ID ring.

I see, certainly that's a way to avoid locking. I guess I wasn't paying enough attention. But what a bothersome way though, needing someone watching over all the time... Anyway, thanks, that's one prickly issue off my mind now.

I wouldn't be surprised, though she might be in bad luck as I think Marika has a "yuri thing" for Chiaki... At any rate, I guess that sort of stuff is what happens when there are few men around... and with some of those few being a bit effeminate, it can only get worse.

When she lost her ring, I got a little worried that it would become melodramatic, though I did expect someone of the yacht to have picked it up (that hair). o.o

Highlight of the episode: San-Daime running out the door with his plushies. That seriously made me LOL.

Sandaime was hilarious in his scenes. The bears. Mellow entertaining episode. Not really much to say on it to be honest.

Oh and I guess even a space anime gets a beach episode.

A light but nice episode, tho a bit down on the visuals, characters looked a bit weird in a couple of scenes.

Oh and I think with all those looks, this pretty much confirms what I thought all along- that Hilde is a siscon. Happy times~

Decent episode, wasn't expecting much after they protected Jenny. Damn Marika, dropping the master key like that. What a disgrace. Sad at how they just gave Marika her key back after about two seconds of searching. Chiaki-chan-less episode though, it's just not the same without her.

Next episode might be fan-service, but so far there hasn't been any and I think they'll keep it that way.

The yacht club is everywhere! Even when Marika lost her ring, they all came to deliver it back to her.

Sandaime is a teddy bear collector XD

I love her sleepy face ^^

When Marika lost her ring, I hoped for Chiaki to catch it and give her a good scolding. Well, you can't have everything (especially when there's no reason for her to be there at that moment).

Next up: Training, trials... and swimsuits! :-D

I am calling this episode the 40 ROFL AND BEST ROFL EPISODE! Tons of MOE and tons of laughter it was BLESSING! HOLY! Ahem! Now for the why. Small paragraphs and each one is part of one scene of the episode.

Funny comedy when Marika totally lost the ring. It was like a disaster I was in the between or irony laughter and despair laughter.

When Marika said "Awww shit the garbage" during gravity that was ROFLs.

Seems that Gruier is y-u-r-y-i-n-g with Marika. Notice the faces she has with Grunhilde during breakfast and the heart shape during the bento Marika feeding.

Marika was also much more liberal with Mami in this episode during their picnic. It was let's say a nice leg display there.

Nice service of Marika's stomach. I could also dig the short parts of the suit service.

When Grunhilde blushed it was so HNNNNNNNGHHHHHH that it's amazing since it's her 1st time.

ROFL at Marika at the end when she found the recipe priceless face there. So yeah it was pretty good comedy/MOE wise and in fact it's really THE BEST! No doubt about that one.

Well, nice episode in any case.


I noticed that too. There wasn't anything wrong necessarily, but there seemed to be a lot less detail, especially on the facial expressions.

Well, the flip side is, save money now, spend money later! Instead of wasting animation budget on an episode like this, they're probably saving it for an awesome episode with spaceships and guns and shit. Instead of being unhappy at the animation quality of this episode, now I can be excited about the animation quality of some future episode!

I still liked this episode though. It was a good "break" before the action starts up again.

I actually liked this episode a bit better than the previous couple of episodes. Part of that is that I can relate to that scary feeling of losing something important, but the series wisely didn't use it for drama. It's nice to see Marika screw up every now and then, she's usually so perfect that moments like these (and her general suckage at school) make her very much human.

Lol, they have the secret recipe in the database all along.

Definitely gonna miss the Yacht group with the original crew coming back now.
