| The underwater sea school scene was so cool, I've always wondered if there were other underwater sea kids other than the main 4. And damn, Manaka losing her ena? No way. Hikari has gotta be Manaka til the end! |
 |
| I am so glad they've found Manaka. So Miuna got her Ena because Manaka is loosing hers. |
| This episode...had a lot of progress to say the least. Can't wrap my head over the overall theme. Now they're talking about equivalent exchange, which would explain Miuna's ena. Also can't say this development is one I like. |
 |
| That was quite an adventurous trip Leaving Miuna behind for a second by Hikari and Kaname seemed like a blunder to me, since she has never been to Shioshishio Seeing the people hibernation it looked like a visit to the wax museum or a graveyard negatively thinking Finding Manaka on a hand near pile of wooden puppets made her look like a sleeping beauty That entire scene was fabulous to follow |
| Another good episode,if Manaka lost her ena it's highly possible that she'll live on the land, but i wonder who will she live with? i noticed a nice piece of guitar play in this episode btw, and it seems it was DEPAPEPE's, their name appear on the credit. They did an excellent job as always |
| I think she's giving her ena to Miuna. |
 |
| I hope this series doesn't end like Anohana. If it does...... T________T |
| I really wonder what is going to happen now that they have taken Monica away? That would kind of suck if the world was set into perpetual chaos because of that. It seems like someone needs to be sacrificed in order to keep everything in balance. There must be some significance to Miuna being the only one who is able to hear that sound as well and being the only one who Uroko appeared to? So far I like the second half more than the first half, there seems to be more to the story now than just a massive wave of love interests gone wrong. |
Mauroki said: That would make a lot of sense if this is what is happening. I agree with you.I think she's giving her ena to Miuna. |
| Traveling at their hometown, Shioshishio, with a few reminisce, of their place. Yup Manaka, is back, but a surprise one where her Ena is dissipating. Want to see their reactions on where Manaka came back, and her reaction of the 5 year change next episode. But her disappearing Ena, I want to why she is losing it. |
| I wonder who will take her to home? Tsumugu or maybe Akari? or maybe there will be whirlpool which will take her back? and she can't even go surface? Since episode haven't ended where there are on surface. Eh... so many question xD Now when Manaka is back I really can't wait to see next episode xD |
| Such a good episode! So happy to see that Manaka is alive, but kinda scary that her ena is disappearing. I loved the scene of Miuna in the school. |
| Finally Manaka is back! :'D I've missed her so much :) At least Miuna got what she wanted, seeing Shioshishio and saving manaka too I guess I wonder what Tsumugu will think, maybe he had some kind of crush on her, since both of them really had a "special enconter", I really thought that the story was about those 2 xD Don't tell me that Manaka will be a normal human :o and miuna will be a person from the sea o.o |
 |
| that cliffhanger i can't wait for the next episode i hope to see more of Uroko/sea god stuff, he seemed disappointed about something |
| Lovely episode. Felt like the climax |
 |
| Better and better each week. |
 |
Mauroki said: I think she's giving her ena to Miuna. Mmhmm. "Once something appears, something is lost" |
| This anime is a masterpiece. I bet Miuna somehow gives Manaka her Ena back. |
| MANAKA!!! ;___; Manaka losing her ena,so that's where Miuna got hers from. Miuna is probably going to end up sacrificing herself so Hikari can be with Manaka. I wonder why Uroko-sama was sad?And why only Miuna can see him too? |
| I love this show. I am so EXTREMELY happy Manaka is back and we got to see Shioshishio again. I was honestly getting bored with all of this surface/Miuna stuff. I missed the beautiful scenery of the sea village. :( I have to say though, I'm still on the Tsugumu x Manaka ship. IT HASN'T SUNK YET FOR ME. Eh, it's probably not likely just because Oyashiro-sama has cursed me and doesn't want my ships ever to be realized. But I will still hope for my lovely Tsugaka. Speculating on what's happened.. okay well I honestly have no freakin' idea where this show is going. Obviously a bad thing that they took away Manaka. She was a sacrifice and you just can't go bargin' in and takin' away sacrifices from gods. I think that either: - Miuna is taking away Manaka's Ena - Manaka's Ena is taken away because they took her back - Shioshishio's people won't wake up because they took Manaka away Who knows though. As far as Manaka jumping into the picture... she's going to be jumping into the MinakaxTsugumuxChisaki train or MinakaxHikarixMiuna train. MINAKA X TSUGUMU 5EVAR tho. sorry. |
| Wow it finally seems like everything is coming together. Each episode definitely gets more exciting. |

| Manaka is back! It is a little confusing as I thought she was the sacrifice for the sea god, but it seems she's all right except for her ena. Call me crazy, but I'm expecting the ice hole to suddenly freeze over next episode, with Manaka rapidly losing her ena. |

| Random Theories (Yeah these are just random so these theories conflict with each other. The ideas are not solely mine because I'm reading posts here and in other forums. I'm just sharing some thoughts.) A. Why is Manaka shedding her Ena? 1. Manaka confessed it to the sea slug (as someone already posted here). If you watch the last meal episode, Manaka didn't want to sleep and she told Chisaki and Kaname that she wishes she didn't have Ena. Manaka went back to her room after that scene (and thought of hikari) and saw the slug. The sea slug might have powers that can grant a person's wish. Heck, it can even be the Sea God. 2. Sacrifices do not have Ena. If you recall the story of the Ofunehiki, the girls who became sacrifices were from the surface hence they do not have Ena. The Sea God might be the one who caused her Ena to shed so she can become a proper sacrifice. 3. Manaka saved Miuna. Miuna was drowning before she had her Ena, right? Manaka might have seen/felt/whatever Miuna when she was drowning and calling Hikari. B. Miuna's Ena 1. Read A.3. 2. Uroko-sama saved Miuna. Miuna was drowning and Manaka was shedding her Ena so why don't he just give it to the drowning girl. Uroko-sama was helping Miuna anyway (as seen this episode) and uses the scales to lead her the way. 3. The Sea God saved Miuna. Manaka is shedding her Ena and Miuna is special and is a key to solving the problems so he saved her. C. Why didn't Uroko-sama stop them from taking away Manaka? 1. Because it's ok. If you watch episode 11, Uroko said the Ofunehiki doesn't have any meaning or power. The people from before suffered from DROUGHT and thought that the Sea God was angry so they sacrificed girls to the God. Note that the Ofunehiki was done because of drought and not Ice Age. I believe the Ice Age is only caused by the lack of the Sea God's power. The first Ice Age was caused by the Sea God's MOVING AWAY because he was saddened by the people going to the surface. That was solved by the girl who swam and talked to the Sea God. The case now is different. The Sea God is WEAKER and it won't be solved by just talking or sacrificing a person. To stop the incoming Ice Age, they need the Sea God's powers. I can only think of two solutions: 1. Make the Sea God stronger. He needs believers and prayers. As to how they'll make the people believe, I do not know. 2. Replace the Sea God. This is kinda crazy but no one knows what will happen! :) IF they do replace the Sea God I think Hikari's a candidate because Uroko-sama said they are "his" descendants. Descendant of who? D. Miuna's role I believe Miuna is a key to this Ice Age and Sea God but I don't know what her role would be. I mean, everyone already noticed that she is SPECIAL. 1. Will she talk to the Sea God (same as the first girl from the first Ice Age)? Can be. 2. Will she replace Manaka as a sacrifice? That's also possible but the Ofunehiki doesn't have a power right? Miuna is raising some flag though like "protecting Hikari's smile". 3. Will she be the new Sea God? Why not? 4. Miuna's Mom is Uroko's love interest? Someone here pointed it out so I'm adding it in the list. That can explain why Uroko-sama helped her. E. Something appears, something is lost 1. Probably the Ena. Sorry I can't think of anything else XD |

| 4/5 Episode quiet more than they should, even the dialogues I have awakened! Smoky and the whole plot yet to play in this moment, the final rekindles the attention that until then had left the narrative almost comatose, not exactly the best this time! ^ ^ " Drawings and animations of a good standard. The beauty begins now, with the arrival of Manaka on the surface. * _ * Poor Uroko-sama, it seems that everyone wants to do the opposite of what he says! |
 |
| Noooooo Manaka is back... fuck my dream couple won't come true. |
| I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning, help me to breathe. |
| I want episode 19.Right.Fucking.now. T_T |
straggy said: I get the feeling Manaka's face in the ED is obscured because she's losing her ena and therefore her eyes will no longer be blue. It's also probably why they haven't opened yet - I'm predicting a dramatic reveal of big brown doe eyes or something. Wow I love the eyes of the sea people, but Manaka losing her blue eyes would be such a great twist. I love reading all the theories and speculations. Can´t wait for the next episode! |
| Days need to be longer. 24 hours isn't enough ... |
| Manaka losing Ena ?! Seriously, you never know what will happen. I love the twist. |
| dat tensions! Those feels! Amazing episode... |
 |
| There is one thing that made no sense in this episode. When Miuna exits the school and encounters Uroko, he asks what she is looking for. She says it's Manaka, and then he says she's lying. Then later when they meet again at the doll cave, he's surprised that that's what they were really looking for and says that "I just wanted to come to Shioshishio" is no more than a child's lie. But Miuna never said the quoted phrase above! She said straight to his face they were looking for Manaka. What the hell? |

Yes she wanted to see Shioshishio but it was more so that she could have more connections to Hikari. Before it was the age difference but now that they are the same age she "might" be at equal footing. Now she has Ena so she is that much closer. Insert the fact that she put her height on the pillar next to Hikari, Chisaki, Manaka, and Kaname shows that she really just wants to be in that group. She wants to be seen by Hikari in the sense of how he sees Manaka. |
| ''When something appears, something is lost. So all equals in the end.'' Sad episode. |
 |
| Manaka losing her ena!!! |
Aruonse said: Didn't anyone notice everyone is wearing clothes on the hibernation while it only hikari, kaname and manaka that is naked? And take in point that manaka is still sleeping like everyone else.. shouldn't she retain her clothes first if shedding off the thick ena will shed her clothes off too? Maybe because Hikari, Kaname and Manaka were outside village when they start sleeping? |
| I think I stopped breathing towards the end. This show... this show... |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Interesting episode!! Cant wait to see what becomes of Manaka and/or her ena. Also, i'm thinking maybe they all loose their ena before they wake up but the theory of Miuna stealing the Ena might be used.... |
