Decent episode. Manaka is shy as usual. I feel Aiki's loneliness this episode after what happened. Dat tears~ I feel a bit for those kids now too. Ah love hurts.

Didn't like this episode as much as the previous ones. The melodrama was too forced this episode. Miuna acted too emo most of the time, even as far to jump into an ocean. I thought that she was a bit more level headed and intelligent based on the flashback from episode 4, when she ignored the kids that ostracized her in school. Also, wayyy too much crying from Akari. Glad to see the love triangle develop a bit more and how Miuna's situation related to Hikari's just a bit.

I thought this was a good ep. Didn't expect all that drama this early in the show though.

At least the Akari thing is mostly resolved now. She was really cute showing her true feelings after taking off the adult facade. Her crying in Miuna laps was touching and funny at the same time hehe.

Also lol'd when she said Hikari dumped me XD...Was she actually serious about the Wincest? Even telling her Boyfriend about it XDXDXD

Hikari is really growing on me. His development has been astounding so far. Loved the part he was hugging Miuna in the water and talking about Loving and being hurt. U could feel how he was trying to be mature hehe.

Lol at the Dolicon XD

Didn't expect Manaka to find out about Chisaki's feelings this early either. And Tsumugu was right in the middle of it lol.
Poor Chisaki though :(...She's too cute <3

Is it me or does it feel that Hikari might fall for Chisaki eventually? I felt that in this episode but I hope I'm wrong as I don't want them together. I prefer Hikari/Manaka. I could see Manaka doing something to help Chisaki but I wonder how it will turn out. I'm still hoping Manaka will develop feelings for Hikari but for now, I think she's into Tsumugu and there's a chance he might return her feelings.

Chisaki x Hikari and Manaka x Tsumugu has been heavily foreshadowed by the "important meeting" and gray-hair friend's words about Hikari going to Chisaki if he ever loses Manaka.

I think Manaka knowing about Chisaki's feelings is a really big hit to Manaka x Hikari. I don't see Manaka being able to go after Hikari at all knowing this due to her personality.

Wow, the animation in this episode was absolutely amazing. The OST was also nice and fit the episode very well.

Really liked this episode. Sure there was a bunch of crying, but learning about the whole situation with Miuna's mom was pretty sad. The scene with Hikari relating to Miuna in the water was great. Glad that Akari and Miuna could make up in the end.

I'm anxious to see how things will turn out now that Manaka knows that Chisaki likes Hikari. Even more drama on the way :3

Yeah, me, too. Early pace for this this.

I thought papa was cool when he said Akari decides her life for herself.

Somehow,seems going in the direction that Hikari will fall for another girl instead.

What a great episode :D, happy things ended well for Akari and Miuna. This episode definitely elevated Nagi no Asukara to me with some very heartwarming scene, I thought this series would be a messy drawn out love pentagon affair but so far its proven to be a great coming of age story with lessons about dealing with one's emotions and their effects on others.

Meh. I don't know if it's good for the show to put that much emphasis on tears and half-assed feels this early. I mean this is supposed to be something original and refreshing, right ? I kinda was expecting something different.
With that being said I did enjoy the episode, not as much as the others though.

Mmmmm mixed feelings on this episode, trying to throw emotions so early in the show is a really risky move, yeah decent episode they tried to force feelings imo they should have developed the story a bit more before throwing all this feelings at the same time =/

Dramatic episode. Even melodramatic and melancholic at times. Felt AnoHana vibe. But unlike romance in AnoHana, their romance was multi-layered with family ties. It was nice to see character development of Miuna as well as Hikari this time. He accidentally came to realize something important when he saved Miuna. Also nice to see Akari confessing her true feelings. Just hope the marine god will approve their marriage. Seems like Akari lives next door to Uroko-sama. Her dad went to and came back from Uroko's in 40 seconds. It was quick.

The art was impressive as always. The scene of shooting stars was stunning. The creator went further with dramatic effects even in the visual. I chuckled when Miuna shed tears under water.

It was definitely a little melodramatic, but still not at the level of AnoHana, although it's to be expected by Okada Mari. I like the way it was handled though, the melodrama was mostly with Akari and Miuna, but like you said, Hikari also learned something from this. Not only that, but he helped out with Miuna's conflicted feelings, it was great the way that both of them mutually helped each other through their problems. I shed a few tears when Miuna wanted to swim but she couldn't, but then it was beautiful how Hikari swam above her and reached out his hand. The visuals is just too perfect.

Aside from that, I really like the sea slug motif, it's cute how they call someone they're telling a secret to a sea slug, if that makes any sense. But wow, didn't expect Manaka to find out about Chisaki's feelings for Hikari.

That scene when Miuna tells the truth why she hated Akari and his father to be together was oooh ~.

" If you don't love someone , it won't be painful. " (Hikari:1845)

Anyway , great episode. You have my eyes on the top 3 of fall , Nagi no Asukara.

To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes!

I wonder if Manaka hearing about Chisaki's feelings will help her realize her own for Hikari. It seemed like she didn't like the reality of it at all. I'm still rooting for Manaka x Hikari and Kaname x Chisaki (not sure what'll happen with Tsumugu), since in the latter pair, Kaname seems to really look out for Chisaki. Manaka has a pretty ugly personality though.

I believe he's the strongest of the characters in the show, based on what I've seen from him. Honestly he's probably the one in the most pain. He knows how everyone feels, he knows how he feels, yet holds himself back to keep what they have as friends from falling apart. Sorry for the long post.

I wouldn't mind if he does end up with Chisaki, to be honest. It would be like AnoHana in the sense that the protagonist ends up with the secondary heroine, rather than the primary one. Besides, if Manaka starts to develop more feelings for Tsumugu as the series progresses, I think there's a good chance she will end up with him. That being said, I kinda feel bad for Kaname since it's obvious he has feelings for Chisaki, and seeing how the other pairings are very likely to happen, there's a good chance he might end up alone.

Damn so much drama in this, PA Works sure knows how to make their series into an emotional impact drama show. Also so much love complications right now...

And Chisaki blurt out that she likes Hikari which gets complicated for herself and Manaka. Kind of emotional when Miuna talks about her mother in the past and kind of hard of Akari will be her new mother. Though things will work out in the end.

Wow. This episode suddenly piqued my interest considering what happened previously with the last two episodes which was pretty meh. Good Job on making this one a lovely and thoroughly well decided episode. Looks like it skyrocketed to a few places up my list for the fall season along with Golden Time, KyouKai No Kanata, Strike The Blood, Unbreakable Machine Doll, Tokyo Ravens and White Album 2.

If this show keeps up this kind of pacing and atmosphere, it may end up like Ano Hana in my books and might consider it as one of the best series this year.

I really get some Ano Hana/Ano Natsu Vibe in this show.
