Gr.ma is getting out of hospital soon!

Indian guy still investigating, and "kamikakushi" came to his mind.

Fishing Maguro for the gr.ma to be out from hospital. lol @ Haru into sumo.

lol @ hugging and falling down the water.

Maguro finally appeared, but failed. Indian guy gave up on the main guy, but fishing prince gave him another chance. They got it the second time. Suddenly the atmosphere changing. "Akemi"? Haru in berserk on lots of fishes, and those who got shot dancing Enoshima dance while Indian guy said "what's your purpose, now that you've shown your true form". Ending with Haru's sister stopping him.

Gr.ma's out. Good ending with letting her eat the fish.

lol @ the Enoshima dance by other fishers at the end!

What hell is Haru? From what I'm seeing he's some sort of deity.

Wowwwww for a second there I thought that dark twist Tumblr's been predicting had happened and there wasn't any going back. It seems that it will start to get darker from here... maybe.

I'm not sure about the Haru situation, but I'm guessing he lost it and is feeling bad about it now. Though it could easily be something else... I really don't want my Haru to be bad through and through though OTL. What's at Akemi, though? Is that what Haru and his sister are looking for?

Akira's starting to grow on me.

Hmm. I predict that they'll go back to Akemi at some point.

Tuna. Grandma. Enoshima Legend. Symbolism. Bermuda triangle. Haru snapping. Shit so cray.
There's lots to be processed and the plot's finally picking pace. Overall, it's a nice episode; didn't expect such a quick turn, but seeing Haru losing it there reminded me that this is a Nakamura anime - should have seen it coming.

You seed that triangle get broken before he went nuts?
I suspect that he was controlled, and don't shoot in Akira because he was trying to keep control.

Whooooa, interesting episode that confused the heck out of me. It seemed like Haru was taken over or something, judging by the giant-triangle-ring breaking his. I'm not even sure what to think, next Thursday needs to get here fast!

They were not separated, they just blanked out and recovered their consciousness later at different parts of the boat. Like when Haru uses the water gun, but on everyone at the same time. It seemed to me like something (an alien dragon?) controlled them to chase them away from Akemi. Whatever it was, Akira explained it as memory manupulation

At any rate, it's bound to be explained better in another episode, since whatever happened during the blanks is probably very relevant.

I enjoyed this episode until Haru went into alien mode, I never liked him right from the beginning but now I'm seriously starting to hate him. I already hate his sister, what the hell has she been doing all this time?

Yamada was good in this episode, a lot of screen time for him, too bad he didn't get the chance to do something against Haru.

This episode was pretty confusing, but I liked it.
Crazy Haru was pretty weird though ahah. &I'm starting to like Akira more. I was thinking that there could be a "darker" twist in the show, and this kind of left me wondering if there would be. Who knows.

Is it just me that doesn't think Haru went entirely crazy, but was being manipulated/controlled in some way himself? At first, I thought he had cracked or was showing his true colors or something, but when his smile started to fade and he began to sweat and his hand was shaking and he just couldn't bring himself to pull the trigger coupled with the "sorry" earlier, I almost feel like this wasn't totally within his control??? He seemed happy at first, but it quickly turned really... sad, honestly. To me. Maybe it was because he was turning to shoot Akira and Akira already scares him? I'm not even sure.

I could just be totally wrong and he really is a crazy bastard alien whose real intent is to cause harm, but I honestly doubt it due to the ending of the episode. He was so upset.

Either way I still love, and always will love, Haru. :p and this anime. I'm excited & curious to see how this unfolds.

Aww, yeah. Shit just got real. Kinda surprised some people are, well... surprised about that. I expected when it started there'd be more about the whole alien thing than there has so far, especially with the whole "save the world," part. I think all the fishing shenanigans might just have been to set things up and establish the characters, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Haru creeped the hell out of me in this episode, aaaand Akira confirmed for favorite character.

It was an interesting episode.

-Start-

Lol nice tan Yuki.

You know Akira 's group in the car are always eating every time we see them there. Do they actually do anything beside Yamada and Tapioca.

Grandpa:"I bet you like fish with whiskers. Like catfish!"
Akira falls to the floor: "I hate jokes... so much"
Haha Loved how Tapioca was laughing why making fun of Akira even though to be honest it wasnt even a good joke, but Haru's sister laugh so i guess its an inside joke?.


Haru NEW MOVES Sumo style!


Uhhh Akemi a place with a secret eh.

FISHING TIME!!

If people didnt know better is weird that a older guy ask young boys if they want to go on his boat XD


Wow thats big tuna hooray Yuki!

Oh so the cat is " boss" lol he got skill.



:O It was a WTF moment when they disappeared and Akemi is gone but they just moved far away from Akemi and time seem to have past with out they noticing.
Memory manipulation like Akira suggested but i think it may be the same affect with the water gun when Haru used it on people.

O.o wen Haru said " It him. This is where we meet after a hundred years!" How old is Haru really! Haru gon crazy XD


Run, Haru got his water gun :O and Akira is good at defending himself using poor Natsuki as shield lol.


Got slap by a tuna, crash, got rescue and then got slap by the captain while he tried of happiness for the idiots being safe lol.


Grandma coming home, nice. Haru being sad........ What the hell is under Akemi? the dragon?aliens?

This is the first time Haru looked a lil scary and crazy lol although just for a moment haha he is just soo hilarious.


Akira looks cute with his ban-aid.

Given that Nakamura Kenji's the director, it was kind of expected for it to go beyond the fluffy surface of fishing and alien shenanigans. Although some were also expecting just friendly alien fishing.

I was anticipating more from the alien plot and the Enoshima legend alone, but got caught off-guard by the sudden switch from happy-go-fishing to suspense in that scene; he lured us in good.

DUCKKU! I cant pick a favorite episode for this anymore. Each are just continually good. Really Yuki has developed well and interacted stunningly with everyone and I feel so happy whenever he accomplishes something. Now Akira needs some development to fit in with them better, though, based on last episode, seems like he never had friends or something.

Also so many emotions with the episode

about time akira got into the main picture.

everything was seemingly great until they get to akemi and everything goes apesh*t. haru SNAPS and tries to do god knows what to them, and it looks like akira's crazy spy tactics ended up saving him from haru's brain control

cant wait to see more of what's really going on with haru

The incident at Akemi was pretty unsettling. Props to the director for pulling this kind of scene off. I got caught offguard with the sudden mood shift though there was plenty of build-up to foreshadow the happenings.

I also liked the various heart-felt moments in this episode. Seeing Yuki being happy is truly uplifting compared to what he was like at the beginning of the series.
