| Man, I had to stop mid-way through, but that second half was still awesome later. Was way better than the first two episodes imo. I'm glad that out of this season this is one of the few that is getting a full 26 episodes. kuuderes_shadow said: Lol yeah that was the most hilarious scene in this episode... Hikari managed to insult himself by accident at the start there. Hikari: "Chisaki.... your taste in guys sucks." Kaname: "Ain't that the truth." -.- So (correct me if I'm wrong here) Akari claimed they split up but really she's still meeting with the guy. And he has a daughter. Who wants them to split up, and whose friend likes to attack Hikari. Nah, I think she was serious when she said she would stop seeing him. He was probably just making another delivery to that store. Personally I think Hikari was just following him to apologize. But yeah, looks like he's got a daughter... hopefully that doesn't mean he's already got a wife... I'm sure the mother and him are seperated, but I'd hate to find out he was having an affair with Akari.Honestly, I had a feeling Hikari and those two girls would become friends, and I think I'm gonna like them... pig-tail girl's probably just being a tsun- / yandere. I had a feeling Tsumugu had an ancestor from the sea. He was talking about himself when he mentioned children between the two not having ena. Same, at least when he started talking about their Enas. |

| Still loving the OP and ED! Hikari's development was nice this episode. I loved the scene where they all played in the pool. Interesting to see that Tsumugu's grandfather has an Ena and that Akari's boyfriend is a dad. |
| i start to dislike manaka now, she try to act cute but it is very stupid |
| akari is not out from the sea? well thats good.. but still sad...... and that scene when manaka talking about her feeling :/ really really... |
| Great to see some development between Hikari and Tsumugu! Manaka's fish impersonation was quite funny. |
| I kinda disagree with that sentiment in regards with people being unable to understand Manaka or Hikari, though Hikari won tons of brownie points in this episode. Though I'm not sure whether it felt sudden and force or not. His level of maturity in this episode skyrocketed compared to the last, IMO. It made the beating up scene feel forced, just to show that he didn't exactly mature fully yet. But regardless, Hikari became a character I no longer hate. I only hope he tones down his attitude towards Manaka asap. Manaka, on the other hand, remains distasteful to me. I don't like how she's so whiny and melodramatic (like the fish scene, urgh. I almost forgot she's still having that ruse because come on, no one cares). I get that that's her appeal but it's exaggerating the childish behavior waaay too much. Oh wells. At least my reluctance to see the two leads has made me enjoy each episode even more than I should. |
| "Chisaki, you have crappy taste in guys", and the Kaname, "You can say that again" xD Something I've never realized before, how a sibling might 'grow up' quicker in order to compensate for the missing guardian/parent of the family. . . that's really depressing, honestly. Haha, what a nice teacher that guy is, I guess it's only the students who discriminate against the sea people. LOL "the damn media has me dancing to their tune", what amazing translations! I swear, the OSTs make every moment of this series precious. Nice art to accompany this as well. |
 |
| I did like this episode, though I didn't really love it. I'll have to wait and see how this plays out before I can really say if i'm enjoying this or not though this episode was certainly better then the last two. |
 |
| Alright, this just for so much better for me, I absolutely loved this episode. Hikari stopped being a dickhead (somewhat) Tsumugu x Hikari OTP. Haha not really, I just wanted Hikari and Tsumugu to get along with each other like bros, I'm glad that happened. And that guy is a dad? What? So is he cheating on his wife or did she die? What? Ahh whatever, I don't really like that guy right now anyways. Overall I really liked this episode and that preview looked really epic, can't wait for next episode. |
| Seems like Hikari and Tsumugu are starting to get along, I wonder if they'll end up becoming best friends. This group of friends is reminiscent to the ones from Shinsekai Yori. That loli is crazy, trying to knock Hikari out with a handkerchief. Oh boy, the drama ensues - was that guy having an affair on his wife with Akari? Was nice to get a closer glimpse of Hikari's background, and Tsumugu's laugh was refreshing. Really looking forward to this series now. |
 |
| I'm so glad Hikari stopped being such an asshole to Tsumugu. I thought we were going to get at least ten episodes of "grrrrrr, I don't like this guy who's obviously so helpful and nice to me' and I'm glad to see that's not the case. |
 |
| oh, i'll be shipping Hikari X Tsumugu lol |
| I've Killed my Brother Just like what sasuke did |
| This anime is quickly becoming one of my top 3 this season. Pure joy when I watch it and episodes feel like 5 min long. |
| More, I want more!!!! >:I |
 |
| Ena, so that's how they're able to breathe underwater. It's getting better and interesting, i like it. |
 |
| Dad? Definitely didn't see that one coming. Hikari was a little more tolerable in this episode, but still annoying. If I break it down, Tsumugu is 3/4 surface + 1/4 sea. So, shouldn't it be OK for him to fall in love with a girl from the sea? |
 |
| HIKARI FOR THE TRUE AND ONLY ONE MC. |
 |
| Manaka is still so fucking annoying, Hikari redeemed himself a liiiiiiitle bit. I think Hikari should just knock up his sister, even that's way better than being that idiotic girl. |
 |
| This was the most satisfying episode for me so far. It's probably due to Hikari's development. I wish of more episodes in Hikari's point of view. And maybe Chisaki and Kaname's too. I've had enough of Manaka for now. |
| I really like this episode! <3 |

| omg things are starting to light up pretty quickly. Tsumugu's dad, and Akari's bf being a dad...... Hikari's chara development!!!!! the brat's toning down a bit. nevertheless Hikari's interaction with the kids is the best thing in this anime crycry~ Barion-Zara said: Still liking Chisaki and Kaname the most though. Lol'd at Hikari: "U're taste in men sucks" Kaname: "True" this |

| 5/5 It does not end with tarallucci and wine but not "A schifiu finiu", narratively speaking, I liked everything! Plot thickens! Narrative that marks the time in a beautiful, we are only on the third episode, but you do not have dwelt too much with the question of Tsugumu and have not even abbreviated to go ahead with the thorniest issues, that after the brief moment of happiness reappears as a shadow black on a daily basis of the "children of the sea"! The plot seems pretty complicated and even more complicated with the cliffhanger episode given by! Characters that are being defined in a good way! Drawings and scenery too beautiful. Dialogues pleasant! The final blow that deserves more points in the voting! |
 |
| Now it is clear to me why Tsumugu looks up to the sea culture so much. A few scenes the animation was very strange. It would be more interesting to me if a land and sea child had 50/50 chance of inheriting Ena. |
| This episode really drew me in. The explanations about Ena greatly helped in world-buidling of the series. I really like this show now. Also Hikari's such a well developed character. |
the irreplaceable one existed there~ |
| I'm confused. Is this trying to be serious or not? Serious-ish drama and story but stupid fishies and ridiculous setting. |

axlorg8 said: Reason why Hikari is so high on that list. He knows inwardly what is right and wrong. Outside, he vents it. Hard. Yet he still knows what is right and to be honest, I was surprised about how he reacted later on to Manaka saying about a possible future life for her. He is still just a kid but his heart really is in the right place. You're my hero/heroine! I don't get what's with all the hate for Hikari, damn that dude's awesome!

I feel so bad for Hikari, damn he deserves better! IntervisioN said: Manaka's fish impersonation was quite funny. It actually came out as an annoyance, because of how hard she's trying to impress that human, Tsumugu, at least, to me. rtil said: anyone who dislikes Hikari doesn't remember or know what it's like growing up being a teenage boy. He is the most realistic, believable and empathetic character in the show. he swallowed his pride a little bit in this episode but not completely. still don't like tsumugu. nobody's that perfect. Agree! Hikaru ftw! I am starting to like Tsumugu after this because he doesn't have the "Oh I am so emotionless" on his face anymore.

Hikari is not totally childish, it's just that he couldn't control his emotion that well, and in this episode we got to see more insight on his personality & character, and not to mention, the situation around him is forcing him to grow up as soon as possible. Don't you feel bad for the poor dude? That dude liked the girl for who knows how long, then the girl got caught by the dude, and was saved by the dude for one time, then the girl is totally "gaga" over that dude, wanting his "D" already, man you gotta feel for Hikari, that's downright half-NTR. As for Manaka, who the F cares, sorry for the tone I used. Seriously she's pissing me off, not much, but still I feel very very very bad for Hikari. ntHai said: Hikari's character is so annoying and unnatural. But the story is too good to drop this anime. Not really, and imagine if this show is led by someone other than Hikari, it won't be that "spicy" and interesting anymore. This story alone can't bring much joy to the viewers. |

| Hikari's attitude is improving. GO ON GO ON |
 |
| Ahh so thats why the kids were attacking Akari's place. And Tsumugu's dad is from the sea village too :O did not see that coming. Hikari's character developed a bit here, glad he's not being as bratty anymore. Im really enjoy this series so far. |
| 4/5 |
| Very nice episode, Hikari is slowly getting more tolerable. The fact that we get to hear his inner monologues help out a great deal, at least we know there's more to him than the tsun act. I started watching this series with the feeling that this was nothing for me, but now I am glad that I gave it the chance. It is looking really nice so far. |

I'm like so late so I'll try to respond to this in regards to this episode. Hikari was childish but he was seen maturing in this episode. It's just that there were no transition for me to see that. *forgets what happens in this episode* His history with the girl does not let him reign over her like she's a fucking property though. ;D It just makes me believe all the more that the reason he likes her is because he can dote over her like a play doll. With the attention Manaka received, I had to somewhat care okay? Add the fact that she's the heroine too. She still remains annoying though, ugh. Like come on, even Menma had her charms. ;/ |
babymilo91 said: Surprised that the guy is also a father. Can't wait for the next episode. Yup |
| Nice episode. Was pretty sad during the beginning :c Glad to see Hikari cheered up and friendly with Tsumugu :D |
 |
| I started this yesterday and I'm really hooked on it. I can't wait to know what happens next. Sent with Mal Updater |
| Things are going better than I expected. Hikari, while brash and immature, is actually sharper than I expected, not to mention he vowed to try and become more mature. Heck, he's become buddies with Tsumugu now, too. Their little circle of friends has grown by one. Looks like that man really is one of those irresponsible types, perhaps even a wishy washy womanizer if the mother of his daughter is still around... |
| Wow, REALLY liking this. Everyone is developing pretty nicely, especially Hikari. I loved seeing Tsugumu laugh. And wow, Akari's boyfriend is a dad? Did not see that coming.. |
| "You have such bad taste in guys" "Tell me about it" Lmao. So Tsurugu's father was from the sea and got banished for seeing a land woman. It's no wonder he's so interested in the ocean, considering he probably heard so much about it from his father. |

| I'm digging this incestuous HikarixAkari... Just kiddin' xD So Mana really is in love with Tsumugu and Hika doesn't seem so upset about it, at my surprise. He built them that pool, so now they can stay on land longer. He also laugh for a first time! He isn't as constipated as he look like! :P |

| The guy that is going out with Akari is a FATHER?? |
| "Justice Never Dies!" - Kenji Endou, 20th century Boys |
| Akari 's boyfriend has a child :O. I'm starting to hate hikari I hope he gets more mature So kihara's grandparent lived in the sea when he was a child and fell inlove with a surface women and marries her. |
| If you want everything you'll end up with nothing. |
| Interesting yet sad development... Let's see what's next though! |
 |
| Why didn't I start watching this sooner? This is great. |
