| I was surprised with this anime.. I didn't add it on my fall list... and I was bored and started watching it.. have to say I really enjoy this anime! |
| Found this pretty strange but I wasn't really a fan at all. How are they cooking food underwater, and why doesn't their food float away. Must be some sort of magics. Anyway, other than my constant confusion, I didn't like the characters either, so I'll likely drop this. I'll give it one more episode though. |
kuuurt said: parfaited said: Their world is so beautiful. This series would be amazing if it ditched the love quadrilaterals and focused more on world building. Exactly. EXACTLYYYYY. I'm hoping this is what the 2-cour duration is for. They did hint at various issues unrelated to the romance, like the racism, the sacrifices for the goddess and that guy with the spirit fire so I'm fairly confident we'll get to see some worldbuilding. It would be a waste not to make proper use of such an intriguing setting after all. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Really good first episode. I love the underwater concept, although I it was more obvious that they were underwater instead of just having fish swimming around. The show really carries that Mari Okada sense of wonder, but I wish she wasn't so bent on the whole" awkward teen romance between a group of people" thing. |
| when i saw her in the net i was like WTF!!!! she's in heat huh? the man knows his stuff lol not really sure about this but will keep on watching |
 |
| P.A. Works delivered. The backgrounds were amazing. I'm not much for a romance anime, but I'll watch this for the visuals. But I'm sure there's going to other conflicts, such as with the land and sea people in general. |
| Tsundere Osananajimi > Random Casanova dude Hii-kun for the win <3 |
NYANPASU~! |
| I'm glad for that knee fish and questionable deity. Yes, those are my favorite bits aside from the lovely scenery. Not that I thought the relationship complications were bad, the matter is just that I don't particularly care for any of them. Especially the two main kids. Although I am curious about Tsumugu. I feel like he's the type to yearn for a return to the sea. |
 |
| Am I the only one cheering for Hiraki and Chisaki couple? I just feel sad for the MC,he cares about Manaka so much but she doesnt even look at him and suddenly falls in love for the earth guy?It`s better for him to to go for Chisaki and forgets Manaka. Anyway,i really liked the first episode.I was not planning to watch the series because the synopsis did not take my interest and just ended up watching the first episode out of boredom but it was way better than I thought it would be,I`m going to watch this series from now on. |
 |
| Interesting start and the fish man's story intrigues me. |

| "You smell like you're ovulating" Best line of the day.... Male MC is a tsundere :D and he has problems against the surface people I see... I'm gonna be expecting a love triangle happening soon... |
 |
| P.A. Works knows how to deliver, that was a pretty good start. Manaka cries a bit too much for me, but she's a pretty good 'lead' I guess. Chisaki is better The random casanova guy is well....crap, I can't explain why, I just don't like him. I was expecting a plain old boring moe anime, but from what I saw it's got a little more to it than just that. |
  |
| I get the feeling that I'll get my heart crushed by this anime. and I will enjoy every second of it. |
| Very promising, nice ost, good art, an interesting story and a bit of romance!! Simply perfect :3 |

Let's wait for the intense part/s first before judging, but as far as the first ep goes, I will go for Chisaki so +1 Mod Edit: Removed quotes of deleted posts. |

| Hikari seems kind of overprotective but we'll see how this turns out |
| Wow, that was one beautiful premiere! It kinda looked like a Shinsekai Yori story with a light atmosphere with an Ano Natsu de Matteru twist. If not for the fish swimming around and the background in the distance, I'd say the underwater town really resembles a town on land. Yep, definitely following this. |

| The setting looks really fascinating. Definitely a keeper. And Manaka must be one of the cutest characters I've ever seen. |
| When I first saw salt concentration in the weather... is this what I think it is? Then the main character came out and there are a lot of fish... I was like is this Spongebob universe? and then he floa... no, swam! Holy crap they are sea people. Interesting. And then I wondered while watching, how the hell can he cook under the sea? And then the fire came from Uroko-sama. Answer solved. Although, I still have to wonder how the TV works. Looks like it will also tackle a racism between the surface and the sea people. Can't wait to see if everybody gets along in the end. Anyways, really an interesting premise so far. Love the vivid animation... and I am more rooting for the human guy! Tsumugu > Hikari. |

| My main hype of the season Great art : check Great ost (Tearjerking ost and heartwarming ost) : check Great setting and timeline : check Great characters : Slightly above average Great VA : check 26 episodes ; check Hype hype hype |
| Sword in hand, a warrior clutches stone to breast. In sword etched he his fading memories In stone, his tempered skill By sword attested, by stone revealed. Their tale can now be told |
| I loved the setting and OST for this show, but I don't like the characters yet. The pacing was way too quick. There's 25 more weeks to go and it's already REALLY melodramatic. |
| I didn't know what to expect from this anime, but I found that out of all the new anime this season that I have watched so far, this is my favourite. For now. We'll see how it goes. I love the concept of living underwater, it's just so cool! The animation and art and character design help pull it off as well. Manaka is so cute :3 and Hikari is so protective :3 Ahh I don't know if I should ship Manaka x Hikari or Manaka x Tsumugu -.- Can't wait for the next episode~ this was a good start ^^ |

| dat art. and dat music. Hii-kun's attitude kind of annoys me. He should learn to chill. I was expecting "Nagi" by Ray to play for the OP since it was in the PV, but I guess not... |
 |
| Didn't really make sense... but the visuals and sound are nice. |
 I love you. |

AH AHH AHH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHH... This episode gets 5/5 from me cause of that Chewing Gum graffiti. exactly that's my first thought XD but the scenery is so damn beautiful (thanks to P.A.Works) and kanaHana is so damn cute in here... i'm interested in the romance development Guess we read each other's minds then :D Really looking forward to see how the romance development goes and the surroundings are very pretty *.* |
 |
| Wow yet another great starting episode seriously Kyoukai no Kanata was an amazing start as well so far it is this and Kyoukai that r making my top 2 so far but i still have 3 or 4 more other airing anime that i have to still see so yeah who knows which 1 will come out on top. |
 |
| I think Manaka will fall for Tsumugu while Hikari might fall for Chisaki eventually. I mean, it's pretty obvious that Manaka is attracted to Tsumugu and Hikari noticed this as well. He is way overprotective of her and it seems that he likes the fact that she is depending too much on him which would make it so hard when he realizes that she is going for someone else. Honestly, I don't know who I want Manaka to end up with as I think both guys are good in their own ways but for now, I think she will end up with Tsumugu. |
| I enjoyed this episode it definantly looks like a series by PA works but it also reminds me of AnoHana. Heres my review for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6lfV9Yo-os |
 |
| Welp, I'm glad that the end girl for Hikari is Chisaki! (Calling it now.) I agree that 'Fascinating' is the best way to describe this anime right now! Thank God it's 26 episodes. Edit: I'm also surprised that they already mentioned how Chisaki and Hikari are acting like parents to Manaka. It's exactly what I was thinking, but I mostly thought that they would only imply that kind of relationship in this anime until way later into the anime. |

| Smells like you're ovulating. Hahahahahaha. Excuse my immature sense of humor. |
 |
| Uwahh! It look like Ledo flattering with mermaid in my head!! LOL! Gonna like this series, beautiful artwork and amazing concept. NICE! |
 |
| This was very interesting with a captivating sea world Hikari made an impressive tsundere entrance Manaka is a super cutey and Tsumugu seems to have met his first love by fishing he in a net on the boat Lot's to tell with a 2-cour |
| This was really good, the setting and characters are great..really love the art and animation style :). |
| 02:23 first imp's: pretty artwork 03:22 LOOOOL 03:50 aww poor Hikari, this is becoming predictable 12:11 guudo jobbu 17:17 love rectangle? or pentagon? 8/10 for this ep. This is this season's beauty, graphically. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| the artyle of this anime was great, with all those fish swimming around and stuff, but why do they have to wast it on a shit clichee school anime??? |
| I hate love triangles. The MC loli is irritating as fuck, and I hate fishes. So I'm not sure if I should continue it or not ... Anyway, Shinsekai Yori too started really slow and then became far better, so I'll give it a chance. 26 episodes btw. Uhmm. |

Lockensocke said: the artyle of this anime was great, with all those fish swimming around and stuff, but why do they have to wast it on a shit clichee school anime??? I know it's a harsh wording, but I have to agree with this a bit. I'm a real sucker if it comes to water and the endless atmosphere it's radiating (Aria, Blue Submarine no. 6), so I liked the background and animation-style. But goddamn. I don't dislike school and romance (as you can see from my scores), but please don't turn this series into the same thing, especially when we already got this "I just witnessed love on first sight"-line. |
| didn't think id like this at first that changed about half way into it. And i love the ED |
