| Wow, I keep getting impressed with each new episode. I love the the thought put behind every single character, this is looking very promising. Of course, the art is amazing as well, and so is the soundtrack. I wasn't really impressed by the first episode at all, and the second almost made me think this wouldn't be for me at all, but now it is quickly becoming one of my favourite anime this season. |
| The character development is going pretty well, though now I don't want Akari to get together with that guy..its just wrong, just 3 years after the wife's death? And whats the age difference? o.o I like it better than Golden Time so far ^^ |
| Well scripted and directed episode, I had initially thought prejudice would be portrayed from episode one but its theme is certainly prevalent here. The development is also there making this episode a solid one. |
 |
| 5/5 A nice episode, this production is going to PA Works until now booming. The main characters are showing a nice characterization, even the girls! * _ * Plot very good, I'm not confused, it really flows like oil. Now I understand what's under the relationship between Akari and the widower! Interesssante the relationships between the boys, now there are more things for granted! : D Narration very pleasant. Design and animations good this time. Full voting! |

| Good to see Hikari is developing more, and so is Manaka. Chisaki need more development. Come on girl...go get your man. |
Magito said: Good to see Hikari is developing more, and so is Manaka. Chisaki need more development. Come on girl...go get your man. I actually feel like it's way past time for Kaname to get more development. At this rate he'll become the staple "guy who likes the girl who likes the main character". Hoped for more to be honest. Still rooting for Chisaki though, but best girl never wins... |
| Just getting better and better! Akari's talk with Uroko-sama was sad T_T Glad to see some development for Hikari. Hoping for a few episodes to focus more on Chisaki and Kaname though. |
| Well whaddya know, it just keeps getting better and better. I was turned off by Hikari's attitude at first, but now that there's some real good character development here, I'm appreciating them more and more. 7.5/10, Quickly approaching greatness. |

| This was much better that I had expected. Hikari is getting more likeable too. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Gahhh Manaka, why cry, why grovel down with Hikari??? If it's Hikari alone, he would be so much cooler!!! ): Another awesomeeeeeeeeeee episode!! Hikari got so much character development, just so much <3 Everyone else still remain static though -.- Lol'ed at Hikari's "Chest! Come at me!" XD Dem growing bond <3 And, dem lolis! Haha I like them. There is a problem with the Sea God though, wonder what happened recently that they wanted to prevent people above sea to get into contact with people underwater. hiabara said: for the first time i realized that there's an actual echo when they're talking underwater. that's pretty cool *u* +1 A-Knight said: What I see from the main chars so far Hikari - Good to see him getting away from the stupid hot-head MC archetype. Manaka - Her type has always been one for good female character development, and it is showing now. Very much like Nodoka from Negima. Chisaki - I always had a feeling she wouldl be a source of much pointless melodrama, and it looks like I'm right. Kaname - I'm interested in his background since he seems to know things the other sea kids don't know. Seems insightful if a bit ambiguous at times. Tsugumu - Easily the best of the main cast. Insightful and mature like Kaname but with a nice straight-forwardness too. Does a good job catalyzing Hikari and Manaka's development and being a bridge between sea and land. Tsumugu.. best? Lmao. You mean he is the most perfect one out of the 3 male leads, right? Rofl. Hands down Hikari for the better male lead. Lmao at people saying that the drama was forced -.- In which way it was forced? tsudecimo said: I might end up giving this a 9 and I rarely do that. Everything have been freaking great so far ( the setting, characters, themes, art, OP/ED, OST, voice acting, being a 2 cour show) 5/5 +1 I might just bump up my score to 9 if the other characters get some development too, the other 4 I mean. CodeST said: Tsumuku is so mature, while Hikari is still slowly changing himself, Tsumuku is already grows up. He is just a middle school boy but he clearly knows what is right and what is right and wrong. What a perfect character. Lmao too perfect imho. KaitoDash said: But hey, Don't tell me Hikari and Kaname just went pursuing the path of Loli. Haha I wish XP. |

Rinji- said: I like how this series approaches racism. Seems like both of our "sea" male leads got their very own loli fans. I like that too |
| All's well that ends well with the classroom issue, huh. I hope the discrimination ends there. Hikari still needs to lose more of that brashness, but he's making progress, I admit. The pendulum is apparently swinging the other way with Hikari and Manaka getting along again after Tsumugu became friends with them. Not good for Chisaki, but what can she do...? What will she do? So it really is an affair... of sorts since the mother of the girl is already dead... but the man still has feelings for her, and that led to him being unable to answer Hikari when asked if he would take responsibility and marry Akari when the time comes. Clearly, the man is confused and indecisive with Akari attempting to woo him fill the void in his heart by entering a relationship with him. |

| In my last post, I said that I was surprised that Hika didn't seem to care about Mana romantic feeling for Tsumugu, but now I think I'm starting to understand why. He always saw Mana as a little sister that he had to protect, but now that she got out of that shell that they built around her, maybe he'll devellop romantic feeling for her. Also, poor Chi-chan, she'll really relayed on the second plan. Kaname really owned that little girl, but I felt bad for her at the same time. Those two boys were asshole, though, I'm glad they made peace, at least for a while. I didn't understood what Hika and Miuna meant by cheating... |
| «Time is passing so quickly. Right now, I feel like complaining to Einstein. Whether time is slow or fast depends on perception. Relativity theory is so romantic. And so sad.» - Kurisu Makise a.k.a. The Zombie |
| I like their development especially hikari and manaka. |
| If you want everything you'll end up with nothing. |
| A very sweet yet sad episode! Quite loving the development actually, so let's see what's next! |
 |
| Honestly, Japan is one of the last places I'd expect to see a show with racial segregation as a theme come out of. But hey, I'm not complaining! It's so refreshing to see a show with a cast of characters who feel like actual friends. They defend each other and empathize with each other. I'm so used to anime "friends" being total selfish assholes to each other (mainly to just the main character, who of course puts up with it all) and only characterized as "friends" because they share a lot of screen time together. This is great. |

| 1. Seeing drama between elementary kids was weird 2. Hikari's slowly maturing. Guess u gotta make 'em this annoying to really show his maturing progress 6/10 |

| This shit is amazing! |
 |
| I just sense some shipping... Starting to emerge xD So heartwarming.. This is like Shounen anime without the fighting scene :) |
"Signature removed"   |
| Love how the kids of the surface are starting to bond with the kids of the sea. Although a lot of their classmates are still shitty to them. :/ Really like the development for Hikari, Manaka, and their relationship. Also still getting annoyed with how preachy Tsumugu is... |
| The drama was a bit too much at times, but the animation is superb. |
| Once again, good to see how they dealt with the situation. Since it all began with a misunderstanding and parents influence, they're kids after all, innocent and easily influenced. But they also make the most obvious questions. Though, the young Mina was a little... dunno... she didn't cared that much for people, hm... Can't say that I never said the same. |
| Hikari is becoming such a man.. such considerations for his family and friends. Damn it I wouldn't let it slide if he doesn't get a happy ending. I don't want to see him hurt either. Tsumugu is.. I kinda don't feel like he fits into the picture. Still more like an outsider for me. Such friendships.. this is putting my heart on a roller coaster. |
| This anime has yet to really impress me. Hikari is annoying and short tempered as ever beating the crap out of anyone who does something wrong. I'm glad he atoned for his sins though. Hopefully it's a sign that he will quit being such an asshole. Sayu is continues to be a bratty half-pint like always. It was satisfying as hell watching her cry her eyes out. :D Decent episode. Best one so far that's for sure. Hopefully Manaka and Chisaki will quit being fucking crybabies and get some backbone. Kaname, Tsumugu, and Uroko are the only characters I like in the show as of now. 7/10 |
| Great episode. Seems things are complicated. |
| Really loving this show that moment when Hikari looked like he was about to touch Manaka's face.... but he stopped and Chisaki's feeling at the very end so much going on underneath |
  |
| Nice. Tackling each other is how real men sort their problems. I'm liking the pace of this show too, moving faster than other dramas. Hopefully chii-chan gets some screen time and development soon though. 5/5 |
| ~ The world is not beautiful, therefore it is. |
| This show is getting better at least but there needs to be less whining in my opinion. |

| Just pointing out something .. all the characters in a way are so cute ~ !! And that's how friendships are made folks . |

| "And you're big." WHAT?! Chisaki is freaking skinny! She's not a "big" girl, what the hell? |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Hopefully they will all get along now. |
 |
| The character development progress really significant. I love it. Also Miuna is so cute... I wonder how she fit in the story along with these sea people. Is she gonna be like cousins with Hikari if her sis married the guy? |
 |
| As much as Hikari was furious for the situation, he couldn't even think about getting mad at Miuna after knowing what happened to her mother, if someone can understand her it's him. This put a big smile on my face, discrimination is such a sad thing, but I'm glad that this problem brought people from the land and the sea closer. Kaname finally has some presence with solving the Sayu-Hikari problem in a very smooth way, Sayu just wants to be together with Miuna, her actions weren't good but she's still a kid and I can understand why she did that. And in a situation where we can say that everyone went with a step up... Chisaki was the one that ended the worst. She wanted to protect Hikari hiding that Sayu was the one who broke it, not really solving the problem but maybe avoiding to make it worse... which instead got solved going another way, this will definitely affect her. |
 |
| A bit bored so far. Could use some fanservice maybe. |
 |
| That single event ruining the statue connected all the characters together. I liked that. This might improve the students relationship in the future. But something tells me there is more to this sea vs land feud than meets the eye. Akari's boyfriend was indeed the father of the kid then. I thought he was only looking after her in the last episode. |
| Tough to see where the lines are when these kids are picking on them for just for the sake of being different or plain racism? Speciesism? Well doesn't matter racism can be taught and programmed in and they all have to learn to know difference of what's ok and not. Also the sisters boyfriend knew her when she was alot younger. Her friend died three years ago plus however long they've known each other and looks like she was a school uniform. So def very sus of the guy right there lol |
