Nagi no Asukara episode 25

Oh snap are we going to have to go through this again?

Oh goodness it is the long forgotten anime Nagi no Asukara. XD What a slacker I am. But yes folks episode 25 was watched...a while ago. Hopefully I can remember enough to get around to blogging episode 26. For now has the episode 25 post. One full of Tsumugu being special and maybe Hikari getting a happy ending...at the expense of someone else?

Mother of the year here folks. Almost killed the whole world.

Episode Summary: Manaka and Hikari look on impressed that things are coming together so fast. Probably because way more adults are involved this time from the start. Akari comes around with some snacks, bringing her little boy in tow. He is still upset about Manaka not giving him an answer about his love so he runs off. He runs into the other mains who are working on the maiden doll. The kids allow the little boy to move closer and he sees Manaka's necklace on the doll. They explain that necklace contains her love and was that the wrong thing to say. The little boy RUNS off with the necklace and tosses it in the damn ocean. Miuna and Tsumugu swim off after it because Chisaki is too delicate? I don't know. Miuna reaches the necklace first as it starts to fall apart. When Miuna grabs the necklace she hears the I love Hikari message Manaka whispered into it. Tsumugu confirms this when he swims up. Via flashback Tsumugu explains. When he caught Manaka the second time with his net she was on her way to the surface after reaching a revelation about the boy situation. She starts to cry in the boat as she looks at Tsumugu and she THINKS she is letting him down. She realizes that she loves the surface and how amazing it is..but being besides Hikari made it all the more wonderful. It is him she loves. Miuna is like um why didn't you SAY anything Tsumugu? Tsumugu is like well Hikari wants Manaka's love back so...he can work hard and earn it and all will be well? Yeah crazy. Anyway they return to the surface where the necklace is returned and the little boy is not punished. That night Manaka thinks it is her fault about the necklace because she doesn't know about love. She starts to hear the overwhelming sea again but when Miuna holds her head she feels okay. Tsumugu goes to see Chisaki as she works on more sewing. Earlier in the day Kaname asked to talk to Tsumugu and it turns out Kaname spilled ALL THE BEANS about what Chisaki said about love and everyone. Tsumugu informs her that Manaka has loved Hikari all along so Chisaki starts crying because she is a bad person and wanted this all along, for Hikari and Manaka to end up together so the group of 4 would remain the same. Tsumugu and his super serious face is like no you want to this be true so you can be with me. Chisaki is like....you are so sure of yourself...but lets Tsumugu hug her in his unromantic way. Then she cries because she doesn't want to be the only happy one. Later that night Miuna sees Hikari sneak out and she follows him, thinking something bad will happen. Turns out he was just going to see the boats. He says a lot is on the line, you know even saving the WORLD! Miuna basically makes Hikari admit he loves Manaka. She keeps demanding he say it over and over again until she bursts into tears and runs away. Hikari is like X__X as Miuna wants her heart broken so she can move on.

Miuna and Manaka evolve into....a super Hikari love mess?

Finally the day of the ceremony has arrived and Tsumugu's Gramps is let out of the hospital. While getting ready Manaka thanks the little boy for his letter and thinks since he responded positively love is like thanks. Kaname talks to Chisaki about the situation with LOVE and how Chisaki needs to not be a hero and do something stupid. She I guess promises not to even if she is worried because last time things didn't end well for her. Uroko arrives via car which is odd. He has a little hut set up and Hikari is his....errand boy it seems. Uroko doesn't seem too impressed with the maiden but since it is not the real deal you know....Hikari asks if the real maiden was pretty. Uroko says no, thinking that the humans at the time picked...average looking girls. Hikari acknowledges that Uroko and the sea god were once the same and asks what Uroko thought of the girl. Uroko explains that he was a shoulder scale but wished to have touched her. Uroko changes the subject and wants Hikari to show him what he can do, especially when the sea village won't be around to help this time. Thus the ceremony starts. Hikari leads the boat parade while the main girls man the torches. They manage to magically avoid all the ice and light the torches that are placed on the edge of the ice itself. Singing and what not. Even Uroko is praying. They reach the correct spot for the doll to be tossed in when suddenly things go wrong again. Something in the sea breaks and ice comes flying all over the place. The boats are tossed all around when SURPRISE Manaka and the doll get tossed overboard. Miuna, Hikari, Tsumugu, and Chisaki go after Manaka while Kaname goes to make sure Saya and other nonimportant people are okay. Miuna reaches Manaka first as Manaka was slowing dying from the sea she used to love. Suddenly EVERYTHING becomes magical. Miuna grabs Manaka and suddenly both of them start to glow like evolving Pokemon. Tsumugu and Hikari watch as Tsumugu explains that Miuna and Manaka are the same, they both love Hikari and that is why the energy is the same. Manaka wakes up and TADA as ena again. Because Miuna had Manaka's ena to begin with and love and sparkles and smiles. Everyone loves Hikari and the sea. After they smile the sea attacks them and Miuna pushes Manaka towards everyone and Miuna is taken down. Chisaki takes Manaka to the surface while Tsumugu and Hikari follow Miuna to the maiden doll graveyard. She is now in the giant hand and when Hikari goes for her he keeps being knocked back. Some string (probably the ena cocoon) starts to form and the boys panic. The maiden doll starts to fall close to the trio, with Manaka's voice saying she loves Hikari. Miuna smiles as she sees Hikari and then....THE END!

Mog STILL Chisaki?

OH BOY FOLKS! Oh boy indeed. If you thought the last ceremony was full of drama and people saving people which caused people to save people and people to sacrificing themselves for others....well put that aside folks. Because the drama factor is through the roof.

Quick no one go after him!

To start off with Tsumugu sucks. Okay maybe I need to back that up. And remember that I watched this episode like a million years ago. Akari needs to watch that boy of hers! Yes that is where I needed to back up to. Everyone is working hard on Tsumugu's plan for a big beautiful tomorrow...that actually exists and all Akari has to do is hold her kid's hand. Instead he takes off running and no one has the speed to catch this pint size lover before he throws the necklace into the ocean. GASP! Everyone look shocked. You are in time out now mister. Bad little boy, that was our only hope in saving the world. You think about what you did. Oh also Manaka's feelings.

Because he has been hanging around Chisaki too long and now he sucks too.

Okay now back to Tsumugu being a jerk. Since all the kids started waking up Chisaki has been doing less and less. Because she is a delicate flower who has never been in the ocean before and she must be protected from everything at all times. Surely sending in the new kids, the ones who just got ena, should go after this necklace. Apparently this magical stone the seaslug spits up disintegrates in the water.........you know...because it hasn't been in the water for the last 5 years. And during it's time in the water it hadn't been playing the I love Hikari message for EVERYONE to hear. This anime is magical. Now since Miuna is new to this love orgy mess she was under the impressed that Manaka loves Tsumugu and that Hikari was putting himself out there knowing the girl of his dreams was in love with someone else. But now things aren't so tragic because Manaka picked Hikari 5 years ago. He wasn't the second choice. Yay everyone.

Quick tell no one Tsumugu!

Except Tsumugu KNEW Manaka liked Hikari. KNEW 5 YEARS AGO!!!! Right before the ceremony Manaka had a moment where Hikari confessed to her and she went all feelings on him. Went and had a cry. Apparently she figured out she loved Hikari but was caught again in Tsumugu's net like it was fate. Implying she couldn't escape from the fact that she should be with Tsumugu and she was all upset about that. Well it turns out she didn't have any doubts about being in love with Hikari. When she got on Tsumugu's boat they were playing a little oh just be Japanese and don't say what you mean. But then it was put out there. I think in a way Manaka thought she was letting down Tsumugu. Probably because we all thought Tsumugu liked Manaka back then. But nope Kaname saw team Chisaki all the way with Tsumugu so he just smiled at Manaka's confession. Tsumugu knew this for 5 years! Now granted there was no one really to tell this to for it to make a difference. Neither Hikari or Manaka were awake. But when people started opening their eyes maybe he could have told them? Let Chisaki know that Manaka and Hikari were in love with each other so maybe she could get over Hikari faster and fall in love with him? No? It is just best to hold onto this information while the entire group falls apart and you casually just say who Manaka loves. Miuna should have stabbed him. Making Hikari earn his love indeed.

Oh you make me feel so much better Miuna.....

After the necklace is saved everyone went home for some rest. Well not Manaka who is still hearing the sea when she almost thinks of love. Must give her a headache since she lived in the sea and it probably sounds different when you are in the water. There was a moment folks....a moment when Miuna hugged Manaka's head and Manaka felt better. I sorta panicked. I didn't think this love orgy could get any bigger. Why was Miuna making Manaka feeling better?! XO This isn't possible, Miuna can't be the one who fixes Manaka and shows her what love is right?! This can only lead to mountains and queerats!!!!! But...it would be a pretty unexpected turn. Sorry little man, can't love you because I love your sister.

I almost find it adorable that Tsumugu is this honest and confused about love.

Elsewhere in never sleeping lady Tsumugu hates bro code. Like he keeps secrets when he shouldn't and he spills new one he got like 4 hours ago. Settle this man to man indeed. Of course...Kaname probably wanted Tsumugu to tell Chisaki all of this so maybe Kaname is the one breaking trust with Chisaki? Since Kaname has suffered so much already I don't mind. Did Chisaki ask Kaname to keep that all a secret? Maybe he can skate by on that. Anyway Tsumugu tells Chisaki he knows about all her crybabyitis and that she can move on from this as Hikari loves Manaka. Meaning THEY can be together. Chisaki went from not wanting Manaka to have her ability to love back to wanting Manaka to be with Hikari to not wanting to be with Tsumugu because if she is happy and no one else is the world will end. This girl makes my head spin. X____X Tsumugu probably needs to work on the romance. He is a little wooden in everything he does and love seems to be no exception.

I demand you break my heart more!

Because everyone went home to get some sleep Hikari sneaks off in the middle of the night to look at the preparations. But Miuna doesn't know what and panics after Hikari. This ends up being a bad or good idea depending on how you look at things. And really Miuna did it to herself so I think it must be positive. She made Hikari say a million times he loved Manaka. Miuna needed to hear that. To move on from Hikari. Like okay I heard it and I have seen it, there is no chance for me. I need to break my heart into tiny pieces so I can move on. Closure. Because this whole confessing thing hasn't been working out for anyone thus far. Skip that part and get straight to the broken heart. Hikari was like.....what the heck?

Look at that, Kaname picking Sayu weee!

Finally the next day rolls around. I guess we can assume that Sayu and Kaname cried all night too since everyone else was being insane. There were a few moments before the ceremony that were shown. Manaka trying to figure out what love is via the little boy and some apology. And we can't forget about Chisaki trying to make everything about her again. Maybe I should throw myself in the ocean now since Manaka suffered all those years ago. Yeah because that really shows Tsumugu how much you love him. Can...can Chisaki just go away now? Here help Gramps out of the car so he can watch the ceremony. Everyone hurry up and get this show on the road.

I am sure there is a story behind this too..

Uroko and Hikari have a moment before the ceremony. One that lets Hikari know that Uroko isn't this cold hearted god that hates everyone. Maybe he could have let people know a little sooner that the Earth was slowly freezing over but you know....details. The wooden maiden is just okay but then again according to Uroko the original maiden was just okay. Probably a lie to protect his feelings. Uroko keeps saying he is just a scale but it is hard to picture that. The soul is in the body so Uroko must have a piece of his soul to remember all of this. I am sure Uroko cares about the situation and tries to not think about it. Onward to the ceremony boy. Lets see what we can do.

Yay things are going well!

Just like last time the ceremony started off well. Akari wasn't the maiden this time. All the major players were doing something important. Good thing all the ice chunks were out of the way for the ships. It really did look different due to the fact there was no glowing from under the sea. Since no one is there to glow......It is magical anyway. Everything is going to be okay. There is hope. Smiles. We will save Manaka's feelings. Get her love back. Oh and save the world. If we can. That is the second goal after all.

Are you kidding me?!

5 seconds later things go bad. This sea god is PISSED ya'll. Nothing is ever good enough for him! Can't he just wait until they throw the doll in before he automatically assumes the ceremony is going to suck? Loser. So in Manaka goes. This time it actually IS dangerous as the person who gets flung in has no ena. Most of the mains end up in the water actually but Kaname is going his own way now. Gotta make sure my girl stays on the boat AND I STAY WITH HER! Ain't having no Romeo come along and save her for me hahaha. Yay Sayu and Kaname. Inside the water everyone is going after Manaka and Miuna finds her first. She is quite the swimmer despite the fact she just got her ena. And then it was sparkle time. Again I was worried. Well not worried. Just...Miuna was making Manaka sparkle and that maybe...just maybe Hikari was going to be the odd man out of this lovely love orgy. Like girl power for real type deal.

I did it all for the Hikari.

Nope. Turns out that Miuna has Manaka's ena and loves Hikari so that makes them the same. The ocean is full of feelings and so is Miuna. She manages to get Manaka's ena back which is good since that was a rather sad side effect of all this suck. Smile we both love Hikari isn't it awesome. Again 5 seconds later there was more suck. Like literally. Everyone was looking at the sparkles when WHOOSH time to steal Manaka again. Only Miuna was like no, I am alone in the love orgy I will be the sacrifice. Take that Chisaki. There is no happiness for this crew. Thankfully Chisaki was useful enough to take Manaka back to the surface while Hikari and Tsumugu went to rescue Miuna. Miuna decided it would be nice to hang out in Manaka's old spot, the giant hand with all the other wooden dolls. Complete with ena webs. What will happen now?! XO Will Hikari rescue her? Are we going to repeat this process year after year? Guess we will find out next time won't we? Or you know...2 months ago because I suck. XD

Nagi no Asukara episode 24

Sadly Sayu is not saying this to Chisaki. :(

What is this? A sad little post from LAST anime season? I believe it is. I actually have watched the entire series but episodes 25 and 26 are in different levels of being doneness. So soon I am sure. Hopefully. So I will at least finish that and Noragami since hello that is only one episode left too. For now lets get episode 24 of Nagi no Asukara up and done. Spoilers for Kaname being the saddest character ever. And Chisaki sucking. Duh.

He be the only one...

Episode Summary: Sayu, Manaka, and Miuna are all walking home, Sayu upset because someone was hitting on Manaka and Manaka is like what feelings? They see Hikari on the pier looking a bit.....off. Where is Chisaki? Well she is still in the ocean listening to Tsumugu confess to her. He has watched her these past 5 years and can tell what she is feeling. And right now he feels that she loves him. He hugs her and tells her if she doesn't love him back he will let go. Chisaki does the Chisaki thing and freaks out and runs away. Tsumugu stays in the ocean surrounded by feelings and broken pieces of ena. Chisaki makes it back to Tsumugu's house because hiding somewhere else away from the two boys that love her would make sense. Chisaki starts seeing memories of her life in the past 5 years, how close she and Tsumugu have really become. Chisaki starts to cry her little eyes out. Kaname comes out of nowhere because I guess people forgot that Kaname lives somewhere. He asks if she is crying about Tsumugu because it is obvious. He tells Chisaki to not think about his feelings and tell him the issue. Which she was probably going to do anyway because she is Chisaki. She starts sobbing that she can't love Tsumugu because that would signify that she has moved on with her life. That she tried for 5 years to wait for everyone and kept everything the same, loving Hikari. That Hikari himself told her she hadn't changed. So if she does love Tsumugu then she is a failure and has done everyone wrong and woe is her. Kaname says they are all here now so she is free to do what she wants. Chisaki is like NO Manaka likes Tsumugu so now I want to get Manaka back her memories to make things right. Elsewhere in crazyland Manaka is getting ready for bed when Akari presents her little son to Manaka with a note from school. He is bashful and the letter says I love Manaka. Akari pretends to go on and on about marriage while Manaka freaks out and runs away with the paper. The little boy pouts very cutely. Manaka has retreated to her “room” and is upset since she doesn't know this love word and anytime she tries to think about it all she hears is the ocean and it is very upsetting. Outside Miuna is sitting and thinking about Hikari. Hikari joins her and thanks her for helping to make Manaka's feeling (seaslug..shell?) into a necklace. Miuna states that it's nothing but Hikari starts listing all the things that Miuna has done for Manaka, for the group really since they have returned. Miuna is really his peer now and he really wants to repay her one day. Miuna smiles and leaves, thinking the best thing she can do for Hikari is to hide her feelings for him. The next morning Miuna leaves early for school so Manaka and Hikari can have some time together. Manaka uses said time to talk about love. She doesn't understand it and wants to asks Hikari what is love. Before she can break out into song and ask Hikari who he loves he brushes it off, saying that things will fix themselves and that she needs to not worry.

The sea god totally can't tell the difference between a person and a rock with feelings. Duh.

The kids all go to school and Chisaki goes to see Gramps. She asks/announces that she is only thinking of herself and wants to live in the dorms next year. When Gramps doesn't pander to her sob story she asks him to finish the Maiden Story from last time. Well it ends happily. The woman returns to the surface to find out her lover went into the sea to rescue her and died. And no one on land really remembered the woman so she was all alone. AMAZING! After school the kids are walking home when Tsumugu comes over to the group. Manaka is like look at my sea slug scale necklace, isn't it lovely. He starts to remember all about that plot and nods He basically is like Hikari, Kaname we need to have guy time. Everyone is basically X___X as Tsumugu leads them away. Instead of talking about the love orgy he makes the boys follow him to Uroko so he can ask to be cursed. Then proceeds to talk about everything else besides being cursed. He says that when he was in the ocean he felt the feelings of Manaka all around. Hikari adds in that the sea god's spirits are floating around in the sea as well. Tsumugu explains that he wants to do the ceremony over again and this time put Manaka's necklace AKA her true feelings on the doll. Throw the doll into the ocean and maybe the sea god will be confused enough to think it is Manaka and return her feelings AND restore the balance of the world so it doesn't freeze over. Hikari is like...this is so stupid while Uroko and Kaname think this is a good idea. Hikari probably sees what is going on and agrees to help since he has no choice. It then turns into a woohoo if we all work together things will end happily montage. All the mains work together to gather up public interest and Tsumugu rounds up ALL the gang from high school. Everything is going wonderful and magical. Well except for Chisaki who works alone to make the kimono. Tsumugu goes in there to see how she is doing and Chisaki is all like I got to live these 5 years because of Manaka maybe it is my turn to be the sacrifice. Tsumugu is like um no. Kaname listens to Tsumugu and Chisaki while Sayu watches Kaname. Kaname decides to leave the working area and Sayu follows him. She goes on to call him a coward and that he should really confess to Chisaki again and mean it. Kaname says that Chisaki has always looked at others besides him, that Tsumugu was always second and never him so there is no point. Sayu confesses she has been waiting and looking at Kaname all this time and seeing him like this is pathetic. Kaname starts sobbing as he had felt so lonely since his return, that maybe no one really wanted him around. He promises to stop looking at Chisaki and look at Sayu as a girl his own age. After working really hard Hikari sends Miuna home as the big day is coming soon. He knows change is coming and is worried. He finds Manaka looking at the water and states how is worried that the new ceremony might mess things up even more. Manaka seems excited for the ceremony and hopes that it all works out. She is confused about this love thing and when Hikari tries to put the pieces together he is like...okay you will probably understand this tomorrow no worries. THE END!

WAI! POOR KANAME!!! We need to worry about his feelings the most.

So can I just write an entire post about how Kaname has suffered? That Chisaki is the worst person ever and I want to rewrite Kaname's memories so he doesn't feel bad for her anymore? Can I just take screenies of Kaname and Sayu crying all over the place because that is all that mattered in this episode? I can't? WELL FINE!

Run Tsumugu...just run while you have the chance.

So first things first. As much Tsumugu's choice in ladies makes me question his judgment.....he has been the first person to confess to his person of choice AND MEAN IT. None of this well I want you to be happy so go off my wild flower and be happy with someone else besides me. No Tsumugu loves Chisaki and actually wants to be with her despite anyone else's feelings. It is good being nice and considerate to other people but you need to think of yourself first sometimes. Especially when no one else is stepping up to confess and mean it. Plus he has a good idea that Chisaki likes him back. You know, by default. I kid I kid....both he and Kaname seem to think Chisaki being mean to Tsumugu meant she actually liked him when really she didn't appreciate THE TRUTH. Anyway instead of anyone caring that Tsumugu has ena now Chisaki is all WAIIIIII you lie and runs off.

Um I think last week you were all Manaka doesn't need her memories back. Now I see you were just keeping BOTH men for yourself.

The fact that Chisaki ran away from Tsumugu and went to his (their) house is special. I mean given the nature of this mess where could she have gone? No one understands her, she is a special flower. While going home wasn't the smartest idea to do if she wanted to avoid Tsumugu's confession it also didn't help her get her mind off this matter. Because all she can see now is Tsumugu and her interacting. She might have known the other kids longer but she LIVED with him. They only had each other now so what were they suppose to do? Well I guess they actually could have built a snowman but still... For some reason Kaname STILL cares about Chisaki despite the fact she has basically tapped danced on his heart and fed it to dogs. Like Kaname...where is your self respect? Also you don't have to tell Chisaki twice to not think about your feelings. She was going to do that anyway. If I were to look at this situation with nonhating Chisaki glasses I would sorta get her point. She wanted to keep things the same for her own sanity as well as for personal reasons. She didn't want to move on and forsake the group. Take away Manaka's man. Seem disloyal. I don't think ANY of the kids would have felt that way. Kaname would have been sad but gotten over it. Hikari would have been happy for her. And even if Manaka had her love she was probably going to pick Hikari anyway. So all of this is just...a lot. I just find it funny that Chisaki NOW wants to get Manaka's love back when before she was like lala this is for the best because Hikari is MINE!

SHHH! I am having the feelings.

While Chisaki was having another meltdown Manaka finally had one. It was about time! Akari's little boy wrote her little letter using the L(ove) word and Manaka had a moment. This word is all around her and maybe she was doing a good job keeping it in but yeah. I am glad she took the time to have her moment. I like how the sea god is trying to drown Manaka's thoughts out with the ocean. Nope don't think about that lalalalala! So Manaka is finally having her moment, thinking that maybe there is more wrong with her than missing memories. What is love? No like seriously what is love and why does it make me feel this way?

So thanks. I will get you a box of chocolate. Call it even.

Outside Hikari and Miuna were having a moment. If I am reading things correctly Miuna will be the odd duck out. That or she will end up with the nice boy that asked her out and she has no time for. It was almost like a goodbye even though Hikari was actually taking steps closer to Miuna. Sadly Miuna recognized these steps as friendship steps and decided that maybe she should just cut her loses. Hikari was rather nice though. He is acknowledging all that nice things Miuna has done. She is family yet how can Hikari repay her. Ah Miuna. She probably is never going to confess to Hikari, just continue to watch from the sidelines because look at how wonderful and nice these people are for trying. They is better than I am.

Lalala can't hear you. Don't want to cry, lala Manaka.

There is a brief scene with Manaka and Hikari walking to school. Basically Hikari is trying to play things off as cool. Like yep, just me and Manaka walking to school, ignoring the fact that Miuna set it up this way. Manaka wasn't really being serious enough with her questions. It was almost like it was playful Manaka and not scared out of her mind, what is happening to me Manaka. Since the others think she isn't capable of love I guess they think she isn't capable of understanding it so it is best to keep her in the dark. Oh Hikari has a plan. Just wait Manaka we will get your love back and you can....totally not be with Tsumugu, you'll see!

But I said I wanted to be move out and be dramatic.

There was a brief scene with Chisaki going to see Gramps and trying to be more dramatic than normal. I love it how the old man was like okay, bye. Like if you think about it that was a little....cold considering homegirl is there every single day and Tsumugu isn't but then again maybe Gramps is tired of her. I love how the end of the maiden story turned out. No hope at all so why bother trying. The real lover died in the sea and no one on land cared to remember the girl. Like thanks I did all this work for you and this is how I am treated? Maybe all the feelings in the ocean everyone is feeling is from the girl. Like WHYYYY?!

I thought the guys were totally going to punch and cry it out. Really did think that.

Tsumugu totally trolled us. Or at least me. I thought the bros were all going to talk it out. Tsumugu sees the necklace Manaka is wearing and has realized what is on the line. That she loves him, he loves Chisaki, Chisaki loves Hikari, Hikari loves Manaka and no one loves Sayu, Miuna, or Kaname. So we are all going to talk about this and work it out. Just the men of course.

Oh that world ending again? Are we still on that?

Then it didn't happen and I was all sad face. Like what the hell. I am sure Tsumugu could have taken any of the sea kids to Uroko and had this talk. The whole I want to be cursed again thing was a throw away line that made no sense as Tsumugu breaks out into other ideas. Like okay....what if we throw another ceremony and trick the sea god by giving it Manaka's feelings. That will give her back her love for sure. OH AND WE COULD SAVE THE WORLD! That is just an added bonus, not the real issue at play. I am with Hikari, skeptical of the whole thing. This theory makes it seem like the sea god is no longer able to have conscious thoughts. I know he died and broke off but he seems pretty much in the know what with the whole freezing the world over bit. So I am not sure how fooled by all of this he will be. Like what if the sea god tries putting the memories in the thing that he thinks is Manaka? Tsumugu doesn't know much about the sea and is just grasping at straws. Everyone else seemed to like these straws though and soon Hikari agreed to this idea.

Welcome back everyone! Time to save the day!

Then everyone broke out with their version of EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!!!! The entire town, whether they moved away or stayed, supporting the first ceremony or not, came out to help make this possible. BECAUSE THE WORLD IS IN DANGER! This needs to be done to save the planet. Very few people know Manaka and even fewer know her situation. Still it was nice seeing their entire class come on by to help out, like good old times. Might have driven home the point that Kaname, Hikari, and Manaka really did miss a lot seeing ALL of their friends grown-up and starting families. Now this everything is awesome moment was ruined once again by Chisaki. She is working all alone on the kimono and when Tsumugu went to check up on her she was like maybe I should throw myself into the ocean and be the sacrifice this time since Manaka gave me these past 5 years. Like for real? Is Chisaki for real? Maybe Chisaki really is a nice girl deep down and I am just seeing things in a bad light. But my eyes were rolling so hard folks...so hard...like anyone was going to let her do that. Attention seeker.

Yes. Go with that....okay now I am just being mean.

This leads to the saddest and best part of the episode. Kaname hears Chisaki and Tsumugu having a moment and he runs off. How much is his little heart supposed to take?! But during the past 5 years Sayu has really learned how to be ninja and she heard this too. And she loves Kaname. She knows all about this love business and how it can mess a person up and she wants Kaname to go up to Chisaki and point blank tell the girl how he feels. Stop crying and be the man of action I know you can be. Poor Kaname. :( I mean I am sure he wants to confess to Chisaki with all his heart. But he already knows the outcome. It was never going to be him. I can see Sayu's point in wanting Kaname to confess honestly (since she doesn't know he already did that 5 years ago) so he has no regrets but Kaname knows the answer so there really is no point. WOE IS KANAME!

WAIIIIIII! Way too sad.

Until...until Sayu opened her mouth. Kaname said that Chisaki's eyes were always somewhere else which lead Sayu to say her eyes were always on him. It's all for you!!!!!!!!! Which you know would put pressure on Kaname, something he didn't ask for. Sayu might have wanted to be at Kaname's level but she lucked out. What if he woke up 20 years later? Maybe striving to be equal with Kaname made her into a better person but you know...this was not guaranteed. Still putting that aside Kaname started to cry. WAIIIII! Well both of them were crying. But all this time, what I have been saying has been true. Kaname has felt like the odd man out. Tsumugu, Miuna, and Sayu have said that too but Miuna and Sayu are a pair and Tsumugu had friends before the sea kids arrived. But Kaname felt like an outsider in his own group. Like look at this love square I am not apart of. Then when everyone started waking up no one was really..needing him. Like hello why the cruelty with Kaname staying with Tsumugu?! If they had room for Manaka they had room for Kaname at Akari's house. So Kaname was sad and lonely all this time and the news that SOMEONE was excited just for him was too much for his eye sockets. I mean....Kaname didn't automatically say I LOVE YOU TOO SAYU as that is not realistic. It is almost like he didn't see her as an option. I don't see Sayu as second place. I see her as...an option that has just been realized. Kaname will take the time to get over his hurt and see that Sayu was a better match for him. And isn't Chisaki. Everyone say AWWW!

Now Hikari has the hope. No more lalalaing.

The episode ends with everyone working really hard and Hikari sending Miuna home to rest because a big, big day is coming up. Miuna smiles as she has let Hikari go in her heart. This gives Hikari time to catch up with Manaka. Hikari is nervous for the things to come, if this ceremony will work or not. Because the world is ending!!! Oh and Manaka's memories/love. Hikari is all full of worries because he has tons of hope last time that ended up smashed on the ground. Well under the water. Manaka is the exact opposite. She knows something is wrong and hopes things can be fixed. Plus Manaka has been full of special all along so she was probably leading the entire town in everything is awesome!!!! She tried bringing up the love world but Hikari is all like it will be okay, this time with a little more seriousness. Hikari...will his heart be broken again? :( Poor Hikari. Maybe everything will work out for the best...oh wait Chisaki isn't being thrown into the sea. I'm kidding, kidding...maybe. Well until next time....

Nagi no Asukara episode 23

Love should never be a lie!

On a roll folks. I am on a roll....or you know I am just posting things I nearly had done two weeks ago before things hit the fan weeeee! Seems like so long ago this Nagi no Asukara episode 23. Let me see if I can remember the spoilers. Oh yes. Spoilers for Manaka being the most important person in the love orgy and Chisaki going WOE IS ME all over the place. Yeah I think I have said that about 19 times now...

Wait Manaka doesn't even LIKE you? What the heck is going on here?!

Episode Summary: Hikari watches was Manaka and the little boy play in the yard. They seem happy but Hikari keeps thinking about what Uroko said the night before. In a flashback obviously Hikari was not happy. Uroko told Hikari to accept that there were things in this world that he couldn't change and that he himself Uroko had no idea if this process was reversible. Hikari is not in a playing mood when Manaka brings the game over to him and she gets confused. Miuna runs up and says she has to do an errand and asks Hikari to come along. She reveals that she did so since she didn't want Hikari to cry, she will be the adult for him. Hikari has decided that he is going to get Manaka back to normal, that he won't accept what Uroko has said as final. He is going to make Manaka have her heart capable of loving again. Miuna asks how Hikari plans on doing that and he is going to make Manaka be around the person she loves, the one she was going to confess to...Tsumugu. Miuna seems very shocked at this revelation and wants to know how Hikari knows. Hikari doesn't go into great detail, just that he knows. Miuna asks Hikari if he is going to tell the others and Manaka as she would want to know if this was happening to her. Hikari says no to Manaka but yes to the others. They all gather at Tsumugu's place and he explains Manaka losing her love and that he plans on fixing her. Kaname and Chisaki both think that Manaka looks rather happy as if and maybe it would be for the best right now. Sayu gets beyond pissed that they would think like that and stomps away. Miuna follows her while Hikari is all glaring at the other three as Tsumugu isn't properly upset either. Miuna and Hikari catch up to Sayu who is crying all over the place angrily that loving someone is important, even if it is ends in tears and beers. When Hikari calls Kaname stupid though Sayu defends him and stomps off to do homework. Hikari comments that Sayu has always been weird like that. Miuna tries to change the subject but Manaka and the little boy come down the road to walk with everyone. They stop near the water as the little kid plays and Hikari rethinks how life is bad. Manaka spots something shiny in the water so Hikari runs over to see what it is. It is something the seaslug spits up after you whisper your feelings into it. If it is white your feelings are true and if it's black well they is not. Hikari decides that this is Manaka's rock, when she whispered that she liked Tsumugu and gives it to her, telling her to protect it no matter what. Manaka looks confused and they all walk home. Later Hikari explains the importance of the situation to Miuna as they do the dishes. Manaka looks happy and content being around everyone so it is hard to imagine her as suffering. Hikari remembers what Miuna said years ago about not wanting to love anyone anymore as she lost her mom and that hurt. But now that Miuna has opened her heart to Akari so many good things happened to his family. Surely he can't be wrong in wanting to get the same for Manaka.

So now Miuna will put her feelings aside for Hikari's sake?

Later Manaka and Miuna talk before they go to bed. Manaka still seems very confused on what is going on in regards to this stone. Miuna gets all serious and asks Manaka to let her borrow it so she can make it easier for Manaka to guard. After school the next day Miuna makes the stone into a necklace as Sayu watches. Sayu has decided that while her love for Kaname might be one sided she doesn't regret feeling this way and will go confess to him. Miuna is all X___X how can you do that but Sayu has done a lot in Kaname's day or trying to forget him. Now she wants an answer and to move on. Miuna later meets up with Manaka in the hallway and gives her the necklace. Manaka thanks her and declares it pretty. Miuna has to remind Manaka that she and the others helped her make a necklace for Akari. Manaka barely remembers and looks a little sad at her lack of memories. This causes Miuna to cry for all the horrible things that are happening to Manaka despite her man being in love with said tragic girl. Manaka is confused again. Back at case de Tsumugu he is packing and getting ready to go back to college. Chisaki is going on and on, mothering the man while he sorta stands there and doesn't confess in an obvious way, hoping she just gets the point. Chisaki and Tsumugu do talk a little about the Manaka situation, but not enough to make Chisaki look like a decent friend. Tsumugu goes out on the ice to start packing things up when Hikari approaches him. He wants to know why Tsumugu is leaving and he explains it is for research and what not. Hikari wants to know what about Manaka. Tsumugu seems rather confused since how can he help Manaka? Hikari explains that Manaka is in love with Tsumugu and Tsumugu needs to show Manaka love so she can experience it again. Tsumugu is like...I never knew Manaka liked me and I don't like her so...no. He thinks that pretending would hurt her even more. Hikari gets super pissed that Tsumugu won't even try and attacks Tsumugu. This doesn't work out well since Tsumugu is a lot bigger. Chisaki was riding along on the bus when she sees these two “fighting” and runs to help. During this nonfight Tsumugu says he is in love with Chisaki so he can't go along with the Manaka plan. Hikari is like X___X and Chisaki is like @___@ as she just ran up. Tsumugu goes to explain but Chisaki jumps in the water. Tsumugu follows her with Hikari screaming not to. Tsumugu tries chasing after Chisaki but she doesn't even look behind her. Slowly Tsumugu starts to drown, thinking all he wanted to do was reach Chisaki. Suddenly he hears and sees Manaka's ena. He thinks to himself how wondering it is to be surrounded by all this emotion. Hikari jumps in the water to save Tsumugu when he sees the man surrounded by sparkles and not dying. Tsumugu turns to Hikari and talks...now having ena. Tsumugu takes exactly 5 seconds to be amazed that he has this ena now. All this life his parents hated the sea and rejected his Grandfather. But now he is where he thinks he belongs. Hikari is beyond confused but Tsumugu is like got to find Chisaki despite the fact I just got this ability/skin and have no idea where the town is. Chisaki reaches the snow covered area and cries at being alone. She turns around and poof Tsumugu is there. Look he has ena. Not that it matters because he explains to Chisaki why he loves her, which mainly consists of her actions regarding Hikari and how she reminds him of the sea. He loves you Chisaki. THE END!!!!

You have ena but need to find Chisaki first to reconfess. Priorities I see.

So many words!! I love words there folks. Got a little cut off at the end since I realized how long things were getting. But yes. Everyone is in love with everyone else and Manaka doesn't love anyone and by gosh we got to make sure we get her ability back because we need this entire love orgy to be put together!!! Less happy, more tears okay?!

Cue half the songs ever on the top 40.

Considering all that had happened...I think Hikari was handling the situation well. I do wish that some adults were actually talked to, consulted on what the heck was going on. Did Hikari even both going to his sister? Probably not. She seems like she should have a lot more on her plate than she does. She has a live and let live, whatever happens happens attitude. I guess if she wasn't crying a buttload of tears over the fact she might not ever see her family again crying over Manaka not being able to love wouldn't be high on her list of things to care. She might have just focused on Manaka being alive. Which would have made sense on why Hikari would have been hesitate to tell the others, since he doesn't like differing opinions. But I think Hikari did good by not punching out walls or crying all over the place. This news is devastating. I mean...I guess the sea god was jealous and was like if I can't have Manaka's heart, no one will. Crazy jealous person.

How can you be troubled by something you don't know is missing?!

Despite this being...well good news for Miuna she still is taking care of Hikari and making sure he isn't blowing up things or screaming his guts out. I know that stereotypes are bad and I shouldn't be supporting gender biased issues but I think...Miuna gets it. I mean obviously Hikari really gets it but that is because he loves Manaka so much he actually means it when he says he wants her to be happy. Maybe Miuna wanted Hikari to be happy too. But the idea of someone as light and fluffy as Manaka not being able to love again because she saved people and sacrificed herself...it is just heart breaking for a young girl. :( Like we all want to be Disney Princesses you know? Not Snow White or Sleeping Beauty mind you. The ones that actually attempted to do something with their lives and if a handsome, workable guy came and helped out that would be nice. So for Manaka not to be able to love when Miuna herself is so full of love...heartbreaking. Now Miuna thought she was helping Hikari get the girl but HAHA nope. Hikari lets the cat out of the bag that Manaka likes Tsumugu. I wonder if that is when Miuna realized how messed up this love orgy was. She thought that Hikari was doing all of this for Manaka the entire time. He is but he doesn't plan on ending up with her. Which will either make Hikari more attractive in Miuna's eyes or make her try to get Manaka and Hikari together because MOG so sweet and lovely.

Tell them Sayu!

The talk with the others about Manaka's lack of heart did not go well. Where Miuna is attempting to help Hikari and not dance the dance of YES I can get my man....Chisaki sucks. Just flat out says maybe it is better this way. I mean I get what she is saying. She isn't TRYING to be a cold hearted bitch. Even though she is. Logically I know what she was saying makes sense. Well her opinion was founded in logic. Maybe Manaka IS happier this way. Just lala dancing in the flowers, life is good. One would think she would be sad about not being able to go into the sea but if she can't love there will be no heart break. But since I hate Chisaki I am just assuming she thinks she can love and be with Hikari now without a guilty heart because Manaka has accidentally been taken out of the picture. Because Hikari's feelings don't matter. Kaname is a little bitter about all that has happened so he sorta is on Team What Memories? Like okay our little group is getting torn apart, lets take out one extra girl so we don't end this thing in tears. The surprise of the day was Sayu getting all up in arms saying that this was wrong. Obviously Hikari was going to say that at one point but Sayu beat him to the punch. She was the one just reading the Disney Princesses Guide the other day so she is all up on her feelings on the subject. Who are they to decide if Manaka deserves this or not, is happier this way? I mean...I guess ignorance can be bliss but THEY know the truth. They are keeping Manaka from something they know she has experienced and was passionate about. To not attempt anything would be wrong right? Of course I have never loved and lost before so I don't know that pain. Is it truly better? I can see the other points but I just feel as if being in love is a fundamental part of being human. Like self awareness and the ability to LOVE someone makes us different from most animals....

Hikari handing over Manaka's "love".

Either way I think Sayu is the most correct on this issue. I mean if I were the kids and I was in the middle of this love orgy I would try just so I wouldn't feel guilty later. Like haha I won...but I really cheated and now I feel bad about myself. :( Being second choice is no fun. Sayu was doing pretty good in her logical role except when Hikari dare to insult Kaname. Because you know Sayu can make sense and be biased at the same time. We girls rock like that. Good think that Manaka and the little boy showed up later and not during the meeting. I wonder if Manaka knows people are talking behind her back. I think she must as she knows something is wrong with her. Good thing Manaka did show up as she is the one who spotted the little rock in the ocean. Seaslugs spitting up your feelings and what not. Since Manaka told that seaslug 5 years ago her feelings that means either the seaslug was WAITING for Manaka to wake up this whole time....or he had a hurt tummy for a long while.

Thems are fighting words to Hikari. Now he will try twice as hard!

Either way Hikari takes it as a sign. Because Hikari sees signs now. Over doing the dishes Miuna and Hikari talk about said rock. Since Miuna is not from the sea and doesn't know all the customs and what not. Manaka must have told her feelings about Tsumugu to the slug and poof here is the answer. It is a sign that Hikari can and will get Manaka back to normal. Which makes Miuna sad and supportive at the same time. Hikari acknowledges how Miuna is supporting him despite the fact she might understand how the others feel, that she didn't want Akari in her life as her mother died already. But this stone means that there must be hope. Why else would it wait to show up now? Manaka is able to love again.

Kaname and Sayu...might work in a few years. After all of this has settled down.

Miuna sorta reminds me of that movie where the biomom is dying and she helps the stepmom assume her role as parent. Sorta anyway. I am sure there is a better example out there. But she asks Manaka for the stone to make it easier to protect. Yay jewelry. This was actually a really nice and meaningful gesture on Miuna's part as it involves her mom. Sayu watches, still standing by her stance in regards to poor Manaka. All this sadness and what not has made Sayu realize what is important. That she is going to confess to Kaname. That would make her the fast confesser out of all of them. Not years and year of waiting and pinning. Well she did wait years and years but she couldn't confess because he wasn't there. But she doesn't want to sit there and wait around anymore. Love is precious and even if it is only one sided she is going to figure this whole mess out. Good luck Sayu. Run off and find Kaname as Miuna gives the necklace to Manaka. You know, so Manaka can be confessed and genuine and nice all at the same time so Miuna can cry over her sad situation confusing her even more.

I didn't! I said Tsumugu was dumb!

When Tsumugu said he was staying in town longer to be around Chisaki/look into the sea problem I thought he meant more than a day. Apparently not. Because it is getting ready to go time. Tsumugu told Kaname earlier that he was waiting for an answer. Well I am not sure when an answer will come if the question was never asked. Did you see him ask the question? Did I blink? I am sure he just thinks that Chisaki should know. That his subtle words over the years should have been obvious. Um no. Kaname confessed to her and she loves Hikari. I am sure she thought of you as family or being nice. She is not getting the importance of you leaving right now. She is mothering all over you, not girlfriending you. Open your mouth!!!!!

Wait so you love me too and not Manaka? WAIIIIIIIIII!

Oh wait he did. To Hikari. Yeah. That was a hot mess of a situation. I am surprised that Hikari didn't jump into the sea first to get away from all the insanity. Here he has been thinking that Tsumugu and Manaka are madly in love and Tsumugu is like um no. Maybe Hikari is a bit insane because he sorta took that one in stride. He casually was like well if you are not in love for real pretend. He didn't go....WHAT?! like I thought he would. He should have reacted like that and sat down later to think....wow I guess I only knew Manaka's side. Tsumugu....while I understand that playing with Manaka's heart would be hurtful and maybe very unhelpful....he could have been a bit more graceful in his answer. Not nope. Can't do it because I am in love with Chisaki. Poor Hikari's little brain. He was going there to ask another man to be in love with his woman, got told no, looked stupid in a fight, and was told there was another branch to this love orgy. The only thing that could make this worse is if Chisaki was standing right there and overreacted. OH WAIT SHE DID!

The best is becoming human!!

Yay timing. So off Chisaki goes into the sea and Tsumugu goes after her. I think this is the first time he has shown such strong emotions before. I know Tsumugu can swim but the water is cold and Chisaki is going pretty deep. Still Tsumugu started to die rather fast don't ya think? X__X Like oh okay I swam for 30 seconds, now I am dying. Floating around and thinking about how Chisaki. What a way to go. But what is this? Tsumugu is having lots of emotions. And the sea god has broken off into the water and his emotions are the current? XO Manaka's sparkly ena surrounds Tsumugu just as Hikari was coming in to save the man and poof...Tsumugu has ena now. Quick throw the little boy into the water and he will get some too. It is Manaka's love ya'll. She is trying to reunite the land with the sea and everyone who is a halfer can have ena too. I like how Tsumugu took a moment to be overwhelmed. This is what he dream of his whole life. He was like Ariel why do you want to be part of our world? I want to be in yours!!! Dream Tsumugu dream...for about 5 seconds before you go to Chisaki. I mean it wasn't like she was dying or moving away that moment. He could have taken some time to get used to his new existence. Onward he goes.

Tsumugu surely has a way with words...

The episode ends like almost every other episode has. Chisaki starts crying because she is alone....you know she swam away from people...and Tsumugu appears. No more confessions, Chisaki only wants Hikari and not you other boys. NOW Tsumugu is taking the time to explain his feelings to Chisaki. Now she has to give him answer because...well technically he didn't ask a question but I guess she could give him a response. I guess Chisaki's great quality in life is defending and supporting Hikari. Makes her wild like the sea. I would think that Tsumugu would have wanted someone closer to his speed. You know, thoughtful and mature. How we were told Chisaki was but I really didn't see it. Anyway Tsumugu has been in love with Chisaki since she made Tsumugu her sea slug. So is he going to spit up a black rock and tell her no, your feelings are wrong. Love me instead. Because I said so. Tsumugu gained ena and Kaname became forgotten. Woe is his life. All this love and Manaka is left out in the cold. I wonder what dramatic thing will happen next time? Oh the world might end.....nah!!!

Nagi no Asukara episode 22

Excuse you....you need to be asking about Manaka and feelings and romance. Not the future of the world!

This is the anime that doesn't end folks. I feel as if it has been 1929 episodes of love orgies and no one getting kisses while there is some serious events going elsewhere. XD Oh Nagi no Asukara....so much blue. I can't quit you. So episode 22 is finally here on my blog! Spoilers for Hikari's tiny soul being crushed into tiny pieces on the ground. Then set on fire.

How about they just date each other and leave that Chisaki behind? No?....fine. :(

Episode Summary: Miuna watches as Akari and Manaka make things in the kitchen. When Manaka catches Miuna staring Miuna runs off to take a bath and think about all these weird situations. The next day the kids set to work trying to find Uroko. You know, since Tsumugu is cursed he must be around. Manaka has made food and brought a porno to lure him out. It is commented on that some of the kids are treating Uroko like a lost pet. They are looking is special places. No Uroko shows up and apparently everyone goes to school and/or work. Afterwards there is more searching/walking around. Kaname and Tsumugu walk behind Chisaki as she skips around. It is almost like there is tension and comradery at the same time. All the mains stop walking/doing what they were doing when it starts to snow again. The kids meet up, talking about the current weather situation. How it just keeps getting worse and worse and they need to find Uroko. Tsumugu tries making his curse fish arm be quiet and Manaka finds it funny. Hikari tries to remind Manaka how she lied about still being cursed (so Tsumugu would like her) but she smiles blankly at him. Tsumugu goes to feed his fish arm and Sayu goes to watch since it's gross. While he feeds said arm he and Sayu hear Kaname and Chisaki making tea. Kaname jokes that he should confess to Chisaki again which makes everything awkward. The weather keeps getting worse and worse, with snow reaching the mainland. Tsumugu's colleague ends up going back early to the campus despite all the research being done here in this little town. Kaname asks if Tsumugu is staying as long as possible for Chisaki. Tsumugu says he is waiting for an answer. The search for Uroko continues with the porno and food being taken. Miuna runs into the boy that confessed to her. He tries being sweet and it's awkward again.

Hikari replaying this flashback in his head is clearly not helping him focus.

Manaka and Hikari are off alone looking for Uroko when they end up back at the school. Hikari takes her near the pool and talks about the day he hurt his foot and she came in to save him. Manaka does an awkward face and Hikari realizes she doesn't remember. Manaka finally confesses since she has woken up there have been huge gaps in her memory. Like she doesn't remember this promise to have an important convo with Hikari after the Boat Ceremony or this swimming event or lying after the fish curse left her. She does remember making the doll though smile smile. Hikari gets so overwhelmed he runs off. He runs straight into Sayu and Miuna but doesn't stop running. Miuna decides to run after Hikari instead of helping her friend up. Hikari is pissed, declaring this all unfair that Manaka lost her ena and apparent memories. They eventually run across a tiny shrine and find the porno on the ground. Uroko magically appears scaring them slightly. Uroko acts all meh, of course I am here. The only sea people who are awake are on land. Hikari demands to know what is going on with the surface, never mentioning Tsumugu. Uroko asks Hikari if there is anything else Hikari wants to ask. Hikari of course is still pissed about Manaka's problems. Uroko decides it is story time instead of answering the question directly. He starts by talking about the sea god and what he really is. The first maiden had gone into the sea, had some kids, got sad/left the sea with the god's permission. Eventually the sea god died and part of him fell into sea scales AKA Uroko. Part of him, his emotions, lived on in the ocean current and what not. His consciousness was basically the sacred fire. The sea basically was protecting itself from the surface when certain conditions happened aka crazy times at the ceremony. Manaka giving herself to the sea temporarily halted the global snowing process yet Manaka couldn't let go of her feels. Thus her ena/feelings broke off and that is what Miuna heard when she fell in the sea. Now that Manaka has left the sea the weather conditions will get worse faster but why worry since it really won't affect them. Hikari is not pleased by this news, especially since he thinks taking Manaka out of the water made this all happen. Since Miuna is slow (or a genius) she wants to know what Manaka had to give up to the sea god who seems very ticked off. Uroko is like oh just her ability to love. Hikari is beyond upset and Miuna cries. They return home to see an almost...expressionless Manaka playing with the little boy. THE END!

Words I don't think all that pressure should have been on Manaka to begin with so....

Oh boy!! This series is all about the feels. Even thought the fate of the world is at stake folks. We need to make sure junior high/college romances are handled. Are there ANY sea adults on land besides Gramps and Akari? I am sure there has to be more that got banished if there are facilities for them to not lose their ena. So why aren't these fools around? I think the world needs to stop being saved by 15 year olds!! Whose with me?!

Why does Manaka have to be perfect?!

Anyway this episode starts off with Miuna paying close attention to Manaka. Good thing The Husband got a big house now that they got all these extra people in it. People all over the place. But yes Miuna is probably thinking to herself she should probably be more like Chisaki. Chisaki 2.0. Because Manaka is so nice and lovely and cheerful. Hikari loves her and the girl is so darn perfect how can you remain mad at her? Time to take a bath and feel sorry for ourselves. Woe that we stole Manaka's ena and Hikari still doesn't love us. We want Hikari to be happy but he wants to be happy with Manaka and Manaka is just so nice how can we be jealous of her. Yes it is best to just drown ourselves.

Here kitty kitty kitty.

Oh the finding of Uroko. I like how the kids were leaving around stupid things for the god to find. Here kitty kitty kitty. At least one of the kids acknowledged how special they were being. Because they are KIDS. And I think this really showed how over their heads this situation really was. I mean true love and trying hard gets you far in situations but sometimes you need an adult. Yes they think realistically and might be jaded but they might know something you don't. Like oh there might be a shrine somewhere nearby....nope. We must lay out porn and food to find Uroko. So he can help Manaka and maybe save the world. There was absolutely no talk of asking Uroko to uncurse Tsumugu. I see. I wonder why he was cursed anyway. He has been researching this for quite a while as has his Colleague so....why now? HMMMM.

Yep. Because she will give me an answer to a question I haven't asked yet.

The first search for Uroko turns up nothing. Probably because they were looking in pipes and what not. I think there was going to be a second search after school and work but it got slightly interrupted. The mains were thinking about all this situation and what not...very little of Manaka's ena which is sad. More like Kaname and Tsumugu walking along with Chisaki leading the way. Like yep we both are in love with this girl and she is just leading us along. Well not really since Tsumugu hasn't told her anything yet. He seems to think he is staying in town for her and isn't leaving without an answer. Or at least that is what he told Kaname. Um when did you confess dude? How is Chisaki supposed to know? I know she is more aware of things than Manaka but home girl has Hikari on the brain. You need to open your mouth up and talk. Which does not happen now because all the mains stop and look to see how much it is snowing right now. Like um.....this is more snow than usual what is going on here? Quick have a meeting!

The world is doomed and Uroko is bored. I see now.

Finally ya'll the kids talked about the weather. If I were them that is all I would talk about. I would be a boo hooing mess. I mean I don't plan on having any kids but the idea of the world ceasing to exist in such a way would make me sad. I would look at little kids and realize that their kids aren't going to have a chance. Well to raise their kids anyway. 50 years sounds like a long time but really it isn't. And as things get worse and worse people are going to start seeing how bleak things are and the world will suffering before the actual freezing over. The population will drop, things will become scarce, and oh yeah it will become COLD outside. Not yay playing in the snow cold but MOG this is it we are going to die cold. So yeah. Put aside all your crushes and worries over Manaka's ena and focus on the world. Or maybe focus on all of it. Because this is important too! Especially you Chisaki...not worried about the surface cause it didn't affect you. Yeah I remembered what you said. By the end of the episode the Colleague has to go back to the college because the weather has gotten rough but Tsumugu stays in town because he loves Chisaki and she should just feel it. Or you know he is going to study this more. THE WORLD IS ENDING ya'll!

As Sayu and Tsumugu listen in sadly.

That topic lasted for about 5 minutes. Then the kids broke off to do different things. Tsumugu needed to go feed his feed curse and Sayu needed to watch because it is gross. You know how someone tells you something tastes gross but you try it anyway? Yeah that. Since Chisaki is the mom of the group (the one who is always crying anyway) she goes to make snacks and Kaname follows her to help. This allows for Sayu and Tsumugu to hear their conversation, how Kaname is in love with Chisaki and wants to confess again. Awkward party of 4 please. How are these kids going to be friends after all this mess is said and done? It is like a soap opera except no one is having sex and babies.

:( Poor Hikari's heart is a little yoyo of sadness.

The search for Uroko continues. Miuna manages to find the boy that confessed to her but she put him aside rather fast. No no, I got my Hikari to worry about. Hikari continues to search with Manaka who is happy that the food and porno are gone. It does turn out later she is right and Uroko did steal them but hello it could have been everyone. Deciding that maybe a human like god might hide out in human like places they go near the school where Hikari tries to have a walk down memory lane with Manaka. Remember when Tsumugu beat me at swimming and I hurt myself and you came in to save me? Manaka usually has weird expressions on her face but she has been making one pretty consistently now. Like oh yeah hahahaha. Like she is trying too hard. Hikari finally caught on, that Manaka has been lying about knowing things. Upon further questioning Manaka confesses she has big gaps in her memories. Most importantly the thing she was going to tell Hikari the night of the Boat Ceremony. I don't blame Hikari for getting mad and running off. Bad news is super bad. I guess Manaka really doesn't know what is happening to her and she is the kind of girl who doesn't want to worry people with her problems. So I see why she lied about that. I also see why Hikari ran off and got all upset. Memories and ena lost? The sea god took too much.

Stop putting him ahead of me!

Hikari literally runs into Sayu and sprints away. Miuna should have at least helped her friend off the ground. Hello chicks before dicks. Anyway since Hikari wasn't trying hard Miuna caught up where Hikari had a rant about how things are really unfair. At least he gets it. One would think MAYBE Chisaki could spend more time with Manaka. I know she has school but she is spending more time with someone else's Gramps than her friend going through a rough time. Kaname has checked out. Now that Tsumugu has his own arm fish curse Manaka is not special. So it is up to Hikari and Miuna to do the most caring despite the fact Hikari is doing this all for Tsumugu and Manaka and Miuna really has an excuse not to help her competition out. What is that we see? A shrine...for the sea god...on land. I WONDER IF UROKO WOULD HIDE HERE?!

Oh I guess we need to talk about the world falling apart.

Yeah so Uroko was there the whole time. And now he has lots to say to Hikari. I like how Uroko never really answers people's questions directly. It is always story time weee. Hikari is like what is wrong with Manaka and Uroko has to go on about something else. Hikari might not want to be talking back to Uroko. Saying I know this part might just make the god mad and poof off again. Or curse people with fish. FISH I tell you. But yes Uroko tell us again about the sea god and the maiden even thought we heard it already. Wait the sea god died? Um how does a god die? Did anyone else know that their lives are being controlled by a god who is dead? Oh wait you mean he just doesn't have a body and he has been broken up into various parts. Here is his conscious in the fire and his emotions are the sea. And they say women are emotional. That sea is awfully rough. So....long story short the sea god was given Manaka but she didn't really want to leave people behind. That means her ena breaks off her body and fills the ocean because of emotions. Yeah that was really said. It would have made more sense if the sea god covered Manaka in his own ena and took away hers so she really couldn't leave him forever. But nope Manaka's heart wasn't in it and she lost her ena. Manaka being in the ocean halted some of the weather for a while but since Hikari saved....I mean stole her from the ocean it will happen twice as fast now.

Well....that makes the love orgy a bit misshaped now....

And the icing, the suck, the ending on the cake is....the sea god took something else from Manaka. Because just taking her ena wasn't enough. No no no. see the sea god is no longer in control of his emotions and he has gone all crazy. That and maybe he really didn't take away her ena...Anyway the sea god basically said if I can't have her no one can....and took her love. All the love. She is just a....well not a robot. She can feel other emotions. But she can no longer fall in love. And Miuna and Hikari find that especially tragic. I do too. I mean I can see why the sea god did that but damn. You is vengeful. Next time just lock Manaka up harder so she can't be rescued. This is way too cruel. I know this sea god business must be lonely but making other people lonely isn't the key to helping. With this new news what is going to happen to the love orgy? Is Manaka out of the picture so she can be the kindly aunt who watches everyone fall in love or will Hikari save her, get her ena back, and help the world to not end....you know in that order because priorities. I guess we will find out next time. X___X
