First half of the episode was hilarious, this series could even leave out the mahou shoujo.
I'm glad the standard trashmob-fighting and releasing was short this time. And Kanon is a nice character^^.

I'm liking this series more and more. I like the piano BGM in particular!

This is turning into a perfect little summer fluff anime.

BTW - any bets that lots of the bubbles from the shower scene will be gone in the DVD release? LOL

The facial expressions in this show are just too cute. The little story of Kanon's childhood was just so lulz. I do hope they're not going to use the same stock footage every time they HENSSHIINNNN into mahou shoujos.

Well, the strongest part of this anime is the music, especially the OP song, but the BGM and the ED, too. The ED is one of this season's best anyway.

But the episode was rather average and not too entertaining. It had some good scenes like the cuteness when they heard the shower and the comment on how mom wants the turtle shell, but other than that it's a rather typical magical girl setting with each weeks fight and some hugging in the end. The only untypical thing is the relaxing atmosphere (even in fights). The art is ok and fitting, though.

The reasoning was hilarious though: "I will do it because I want a friend." Kanon is a fairly nice character. Without her the show would be totally boring.

Still not on my list.

I'm growing to like this nice little slice of life / mahou shoujo series. Very cute episode too !

Oh and every time I see an evil creature being turned back into a cutesy creature, it makes me think of Sonic ;)

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

This series isn't too bad but much different from what I expected from the first episode. I love their expressions... you can definitely see the similarities to ARIA.

Marin cast "Hug of Cleansing Yuri" (lvl9)

It's not the greatest show in the world, never will be, but it's relaxing. And I like the bgm.

kind of agree there : p
btw I think I recall Kanon in the previous episode or so complaining about the clothes of the Sky Princess looking pretty awkward or somerhing, but well if you ask me, at least they're less awkward than Marin's clothing xD if I were her, I would never show myself in such an attire xD

Kanon is such a great character, and I was suspecting that Urin wanted to be a miko as well XD
Good to see a different mahou shoujo. It doesn't resemble one in any way.

It's amazing how they managed to make battles feel relaxing. Seems like a decent summer anime. I'm not doing anything else so I might as well watch it. (I do like the music)

Oh no, now they wear normal clothes XD

Kanon's flashback was very funny...the scary tree scene for example.
In the battles Marin is always too nice.
Ok the two only were cute little blowfishes but its dangerous to act so cautious.

I think I would love to hate this series, but I can't. Maybe I am being drawn in by Kannon's Evil Aura!? Lets go with that for now :).
I am the light and the darkness tossed away by fate.

I'm just loving the way this serie is going on.
The Tenderness of its colours and the soft of its dialogues makes me feel concortable (?)
btw, I love the costumes, they're very cute >3<
And it's good to see how Kanon is growing up...

The transformation sequences, time length-wise, aren't that bad. At least they don't take up 2 minutes of the episode.

This show is slowly but surely getting better. The faces the two girls made when they heard the shower running is just adorable. The BGM is nice, too, and the start of Kanon's "change of heart" is a nice twist to one of the characters.

well if you count up all the times during the show that they do it, I'd say we'd get about 2min xD

Marin and her sister have cute facial expressions, as they are more cute. Kanon’s childhood is interesting but humorous. Overall, this show is good so far, so I will watching more episodes. Marin x Kanon, please!

The first thing I thought of with the bubble scene was the Yui/Mio scene from K-ON! when Yui plays with Mio's fingers going "squishy, squishy, squishy".

Other than this, like many have stated, typical magic girl anime. I actually prefer Kanon because she is a high school graduate (atypical for a magic girl).
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

The style they were animated in looked like they were from famous manga artist Junko Mizuno.

This anime seems very different than most animes nowadays. I wonder if it will turn into something like Kannagi after a few episodes or not as that both animes starts off with a Shinto theme.

The thing that makes it enjoying is the music, if it weren't for the pretty animation and bgm I probably would have dropped it. Kanon is alright now, and I still fancy the mermaids.

I feel like I'm expecting too much from this series, partly because it's from the same studio that made H2O ~Footprints in the Sand~. Yes, this anime is calming, but Aria was calming too, and it was way better than this. Unfortunately, I may have to drop, because this anime seems too much like Sailor Moon shi-crap.

Growing to like this series a bit. I love the music - OP, BGM, and ED. All great. And there were some cute parts and amusing parts... I liked the episode I guess. I'm liking Kanon's character... but I get the feeling we'll end up knowing her better than Marin and Urin. Maybe it's because it kind of feels like Kanon is the main character, the me, even though Marin and Urin seem to get around the same amount of screen time... I like Marin's cheerfulness, haha.

Haha her mom is totally okay with a turtle and two mermaids crashing her place :p

Poor Kanon, not wanting to be hated but always being thought of as evil. I'm glad she's starting her path to purity now.

Kanon's mom being obsessed with Matsumoto's shell would have been cute if I hadn't already learned about turtle soup several years ago....... welp I just hope nothing bad happens to him hahaha...... I was also a little uncomfortable about the bathing scene in this episode, except it was fairly wholesome so there's at least that other than how weird that is lol
Also very nice to see some backstory for Kanon, Marin trying to go along with the fortune-telling thing (and confusing "girlfriend" for "flounder" lol) was funny too. Also, why am I getting yuri vibes from this lol? Show's good so far btw.
