| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I liked a lot Yuka in the following,  she was very hilarious for the fact of her reaction there at what she was looking at. Been really a nice ride so far with this series despite not being to comment too much on it. The last episode was really nice and this one seems to be on the cooling side of things. Still the comedy is nice. |
| Trip before that "rich girl" feel girl going to move, so they are deciding where to go. Finally to where she's moving, but it's not Tokyo city, but an island near Tokyo. Her father, who decided, appeared in person (in anime). Then she dreamed that she doesn't exist in the world... Largest bag (actually a luggage) by the annoying girl. Smallest is the quiet girl. And transferring girl prepared guidebooks for everyone. Connecting two earplugs?? There's such thing?? (while playing the song annoying girl prepared) Annoying girl is the most energetic girl (having fun and overreacting) like graduation trip. Then she got sea sick. And this time she dreamed that her existence was replaced by another girl. Main girl and transfer girl talking about how sad she is for her father's dream's sake. Main girl said she's going to tell the father not to take her away when they are done with the trip. After the ED, annoying girl already got into bikini, and too excited without doing warm up. A girl there rescued her from getting into danger. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| The faces this episode varied so much. On and off-key. Think there was a Q&A issue with this episode. |
 |
| There will be much rage now that there is someone that will try to break up the all yuri end. |
 |
| This episode is well balanced of drama and humor. Looks like Saki's resolve will be tested next week. |
 |
| It was a nice episode, despite having pretty bad animation from time to time. I really liked how Natsumi finally showed her feelings about Saki moving away. tsubasalover said: Connecting two earplugs?? There's such thing?? (while playing the song annoying girl prepared) Yep, my wife and I use it a lot for this kind of trip. So each one can have their headphones plugged in, but we are listening to the same music. It's called a Splitter or Y, like this one |

| Otaku no naka no Otaku, Otaking ni narimasu -- Otaku no Video, Gainax, 1992. |
| Damn, I was totally looking forward to an "I love you!" |
| I know that Natsumi probably will not be able to persuade Saki's parents, but I love how considerate she is towards the bond she has with Saki and the rest of the girls. I'd hate to see Saki move away. I enjoyed seeing a new side Natsumi. Kinda lol'd during the bathroom mirror scene. |
| When will they kiss? Natsumi cried. She needs Saki's consolation kiss. Joke aside, good episode. But I will be annoyed as hell if there is a girl like Yuka around when I'm sleeping. And what's going on with their faces? tsubasalover said: Yes, there is. I was using one.Connecting two earplugs?? There's such thing?? (while playing the song annoying girl prepared) |
 |
| Yet another painful episode to watch Art wise!,nice to see the islander welcome guest kindly..though i can't blame him Yuka was a idiot for going right to the sea after getting there lol. |
 |
| This story is more based of friendship, when a close friend is moving away. They could just wish on the stone for Saki to stay. Natsumi want her to stay, for a moment I thought Saki will cry too. |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| Yuka, driving me crazy Q_Q'. Also new character at the end, bit harsh; however, it seems like they'll be staying near her/in same place as her. |
 |
| The ending of this episode was really good. I'm looking forward to next week. |
A lovely episode. Ending was nice too. Looking forward to next episode. |
|
| Their faces when they looked at Tokyo at night (12:59) were terrible, can't believe that got through. Saki moving is finally a big issue, I've waited for it, decent episode. |
| Great ep ~ XD it was like Natsumi was about to make a confession Of course not most likely. I can't see them doing something like that. Some guy(?) on a board scolds Saki and Yuka. Although, I've gone in the ocean/lakes/whatever without stretching tons of times and right after eating and was just fine >.>  Can see a tad bit of a bust there, but still not 100% sure |

| There was a sad feeling lingering over this episode while everyone tried to be happy and have fun. It was very enjoyable but also sad to watch at the same time. Probably my favorite episode so far for me, very memorable. |
 |
| My yuri goggles felt like Natsumi wouldve confessed! XD Well, either way. Fantastic episode. |
| Well that was kinda fun, better than most of earlier episodes. My body was prepared for "I love you" from Natsumi to Saki, but noooo... fuck you anime. ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ Also some real QUALITY this week despite a good episode. |

| The art is so inconsistent. Their faces changes everytime.. |
| Even Phi Brain has better quality than this and that's a low budget show by Sunrise. And is that new character a trap or not? |
 |
| Is the quality going downhill because Sunrise has also Accel World to handle this season? |

OrochiPL said: Also some real QUALITY this week despite a good episode. That was the killing scene, I burst out laughing when I see it. |
| Poor Natsumi and Saki, that ture friendship right there, one not wanting the other to go and the other one wating to go. |
| (shrug) I didn't find the animation quality bad enough to be distracting. Enjoyed the episode as it was. |

| Yeah I still enjoyed the episode, but I couldn't completely ignore it xD Still, loved the episode and really want next week to get here sooner rather than later! |

I couldn't tell for sure.Also new character at the end, bit harsh; however, it seems like they'll be staying near her/in same place as her. Huh, I just kinda assumed it was a guy.. sounded like a woman trying to do that "Boyish" voice for her/him/it too. |

| dammit, i really wish saki didn't have to move :/ WHERE THE HELL IS THE GIANT ROCK WHEN THEY NEED IT?! Second episode that the rock's been absent, feels so strange. the new girl was being really bitchy, but then again, yuka IS an idiot |

| Since I had nothing better to do, and Google Maps revealed that the locations were somewhat accurately depicted, I decided to go on some old fashion location photographing in Tokyo. (I'm not going all the way to whatever small village they live in :P ) I could try to take them at night later (a lot less people then), but my camera is not particularly good at taking pictures at night without placing it on a solid thing... First Shinagawa Station, where they change from whatever train brought them to Tokyo, to Yamanote Line: Then they arrive at Hamamatsucho Station, which is closest to the harbor: Natsumi sees that they're supposed to go to the viewer's left. The harbor is on the very left of the map: I didn't notice that this parking sign was there at first. Although in the anime, the chainlink fence is connected directly to the wall, rather than the entrance to the parking lot: However... it seems like Natsumi is freakishly tall! o.O But on there way to the harbor, they see Tokyo Tower... ...and run back to the other side of the train bridge. But there's something different between the view in the anime and real life... Stairway, with parked truck in the way... This on was not possible to recreate. But since the show takes place in the future world of summer 2012, I guess the work has been finished by then :P This photo is from the wrong side, because there was a big festival there today, with stages and food stands (and people) everywhere... Also, the reason why there was no way to even attempt to look for the correct angle fro this one. Now this is just plain cheating! The whole hall is curved, so it's impossible to get seven pillars in the same shot like they animated! |
| :') :'( :) :D :( Such and awkward mix of emotions. |
| I really hope this ends with an extremely dramatic finale. Something awful and gory. kenshin_sama said: :') :'( :) :D :( Such and awkward mix of emotions. :l <- this one is more accurate. |
| This has got to be the worst looking anime that I have ever watched. It's even worse than P4. |

Indeed it seems to recreate a lot of Japan from the IRL perspective not new to anime but nicely refreshing to see in general. I +1 YOU! GOOD PERSON!I agree! Awesome detective work! You would make Victorique proud~ |

I agree, there were some moments where the art quality was just ugh, and it is pretty damn sloppy considering how much I love Sunrise's animation most of the time... I was pretty much referring to the final scene, which I did like, but at the same time it came across as a little bit off as far as how they handled the feel of the moment.

| Hmm, so this episode was all about the trip. Last episode's preview got me good. I thought it was going to be one of the usual beach episodes. Instead the preview this time apparently shows an onsen episode. And what was Natsumi about to say to Saki, hmm? Also noticed some quality issues for this episode, particularly how inconsistent their faces were throughout the episode. Quality issues aside, it was a nice episode. |
| The sudden drop in quality made me cringe. But it was an okay episode. |
| This was a very amusing episode. Really liked all their shenanigans on the boat. xD Saki dreamt about the group going on without her and was down all the time. What a place to move to too. It really is very much isolated. Next episode we'll see the island itself though! Yuka runs into the ocean without a second though and her leg gets cramped up immediately. Some guy on the island saves her and it looks like he really doesn't like "mainlanders" which makes Saki worried. |
 |
| Nice episode, I had a good laugh when Yuuka turned on the light of her phone. I'm looking forward to the next episode, I want to see more stuff of the island. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
vampko said: Wow, I agree that this was very interesting to see. Thanks a lot for this new perspective, pretty nice that most of the locations were very similar to irl.Yumekichi11 said: Sparvid said: One word: EPIC STUFF!

GOOD PERSON!The constant idea that Saki is going to be moving away really soon sure made this episode a little bit sad. =/ And she already has a bad image of the place thanks to that beach incident. |
 |
| Wow, Natsumi sticking up for Saki at the end was touching. I would be surprised if she actually ended up moving to the island after all that effort not to. It would be more dramatic than staying together due to the power of friendship and then becoming idols blah blah. The person (questionable gender) at the end was a bit harsh, certainly not a sensible introduction to tourists. Way to go save someone's life and then be a jerk about it. |
