Ah yes, the beach episode fans have been waiting for her is here.

Ofc, a beach episode would have delicious food, water sports, and fun in the sun. The windows shopping segment also looked like fun. Sakurai knows English! That new pigtailed girl also made the episode feel more lively.

It started with the beach and it ends with preparations for the school festival.
And part where the went to the convention was nice as well with even some English halfway in.
Suzu being jealous was also funny.

Great episode!

Finally, the much anticipated beach episode! Swimsuits (a.k.a bikinis), food, water sports - all in one package xD.

Ino-senpai with the pareo looked pretty darn cute xD. Suzu-chan's jealousy was seriously gold too, I just love the interactions of these characters! Three-way best friends to conclude that, how sweet. Damn, I wanted to see Sakurai-senpai and Morino-senpai having fun in the school swimming pool too.

Geology window shopping next. I never knew there was a convention of rocks, stone, fossils etc alone, I should go browsing one day too. And that Engrish out of nowhere, lol. Lol @ that text message too, she ended up wasting a good amount of time on it, I see.

Looks like it's almost time for the (anime-famous) school festival. The literature club girl sure was an entertaining company, lol. I hope we'll get to see more of her!

Sakurai-senpai, meanwhile, is going through a bit of a stumble. Nice to see the teacher stepping in to support her and give her a push on the back too, in response.

The beach segment was fun and Suzu's jealously was amusing to watch,
And Sakurai knows English. That came out of nowhere.

School festival next episode.

Outside of your usual yuri baiting, this show surely often brings the theme of "what the future holds for us" like what to do after graduation and what way to take in life. Surprisingly deep.

AHHHH the obligatory beach episode is here. And a chance for girls to show off...not just their petite bodies, but also...cooking? Suzuya sure loves a challenge for Mira's Yuri "affection", seeing how Ao has grown THAT close to Mira over the past few episodes.

And then a mineral show with Sakurai-senpai, with the surprise being her English-speaking ability. The immense purchase of the different types of rocks at the mineral show has had both of them talking for sure.

For once, the Newspaper Club (which consists of classmates whom Inose knows) infiltrates the Earth Science Club for "revenge" due to the newsletter before, but for a deal, the resurgent focus on the upcoming school cultural festival.

Sakurai has expectations, and it's written all over her face about her own undecided future, but with the club's efforts and determination, she no longer does her own projects alone with imagination, but with realism as well. Good for her.

The beach part was funny and the rest of the epi was pretty relaxing. Looks like the cultural festival will be fun. A geocafe seems like a nice idea.

Something tells me that Ao is not really interested in having just the "friend" label with Mira, just saying.

Decent episode. The beach segment wasn't that interesting so I'm glad it didn't last long.

On the other hand, the part with Sakurai and Mira going to that convention was quite lovely. Guess the next episode will be mostly focused on Sakurai finding her path after graduation. Really interested in seeing what her resolution will be.

It's always the quiet and friendly ones that are the scariest of the bunch. The way that Morino said "Ara ara" seconds before the scene changed to show her scary face made me nearly choke on my dinner that I was eating at the same time! XD

Either way, this episode had a nice variety to it. We had our girls in their lovely swimwear (Ao's bikini looks super cute! =3) before we get a nice focus on Mira and Sakurai hanging out at a convention dealing with geology.

While this was all fun and cute, Sakurai's concern about what she wants to do in the future adds a surprisingly deep feeling into this series. Not only is that satisfying, but it makes me look forward to seeing if Sakurai finds her answer to this question before the series ends......even if I doubt that'll happen, but who knows. ^_^

Overall, this was another nice episode from this underrated series.

Boring things are fun! Another great episode.
That engrish was actually pretty good, question is, how the hell did she actually get her to lower the price, lol? One of my favourite shows of the year so far, sad the score has fallen for it so much on MAL.

Of course, that English comes from Nao Touyama! She can speak pretty well English to be honest when it's on a script. Other voice acting roles where you can hear speak her English as the half Brittish Japanese Karen Kujou in Kiniro Mosaic and Kongou in KanColle. I love her cute English and because of that she quickly became one of my favorites.

Now for your question: It really depends on the seller, honesty. These prices you see on these fairs really depends from seller to seller and can vary a lot. I visit these kind of fairs on average like 3 times a year. I've had discounts aswell in the past like on an horsetail fossil (probably from the Early Jurassic, in the Toarcien) from people that kinda know me that gained my attention because of a closed locallity, but in general you really should not count on getting discounts.

Nice episode!

Beach fun with the girls, but sadly Monroe and Sakurai couldn't be there due to studies :( I would have loved to see them there having fun as well!

I think the time Mira and Sakurai spend together this episode was pretty good. Sakurai's english is pretty damn good. Heck even the seller did a solid job! I do love that eventho Sakurai had a lot of fun with Mira on that event, but next thing at school again and she insults Mira with no hesitation. Proper friendship in the making there!

Summer vacations continue and the girls take a trip to the beach, but the episode was also full of very significant feelings for this group of girls.

The girls had a great time on the beach, Suzu and Ao wore very well chosen swimsuits and Mira looked cute, but Ino senpai got all my attention, she looked extremely adorable, especially with her hairstyle, Suzu took several photos of the lovely senpai.
The point of this segment was that Suzu begins to feel jealous for the friendship of Ao and Mira, so she decides to compete with Ao in three challenges that had no result, with the exception that Ao and Suzu became more friends by having Mira as a friend in common, but Ao must be careful with Suzu, especially when she puts on "that face."

The next segment was my favorite, especially because I was very entertained by the interaction between Sakura and Mira, they both go to a kind of gemstone exhibition and obviously Mira feels nervous since Sakura is sometimes a little grumpy, but despite that They had a nice day, I loved how Sakura spoke in English (Nao Touyama always delighting her fans with her beautiful English voice).
The objective of this journey with Mira was for Sakura to get a little distracted, she and Mari are in the period in which they must prepare for the exams for the university and Sakura in turn does not have a clear objective for her future, but the detail is that somehow Mira notices this and gives her a Topaz stone, this stone has a meaning very much according to Sakura's dilemma, a perfect gift.

And the third segment was dedicated to the most important event in an anime of a school club, the school festival and this time we were introduced to two new characters, first is Eve who is Ino's classmate and then there is Usami who is
Ao's classmate and both are from the journalism club, both girls want to spy on the plans of the Geoscience club, but their plan fails when Mari puts the plan against them, Mari looked very intimidating when she threatened Eve.
I laughed a lot with Mira when she confused Boring with Bowling.

Finally the girls decide to make a cafeteria, but the subject is still missing, but Endou sensei encourages Sakura to use the information she already has and her friends also support the idea, the emotion of the school festival is approaching, I love this event and I hope to enjoy it a lot in the next episode.

There was a slight change in the animation of the OP, now there are images of the trip to the beach and the school festival, Mari and Sakura appear almost at the end (in the previous episodes Ao came out), maybe it is a sign that these episodes will focus on both?

Another wholesome episode, Sakurai's character relatable-ness with issues of what should we decide for our future and about choosing paths in life somehow reliefs the stress that I'm facing caused by the same issue.

Another episode that relaxes my stress and anxiety caused by school and procrastination.

Beach Episode! Yeah, it was just a matter of time before we got one so here it was. All in all it was alright, although the competition wasn't the most original thing I've seen so far. Apart from that it was just the usual stuff, so nothing mentionable but still enjoyable.

The latter part of the episode was far better, it really put the "life" in "slice of life". I didn't expect anyone to be bothered about their future in this kind of show. But nevertheless it was pretty refreshing, Mira was pretty good at giving advices to her friend. She also seemed to have lots of fun while visiting the minerals exhibition. So she isn't just there as a main character, she is also a bridge between the geological and the astronimical side of the club.

Beach episode was rather plain.
Some depth on Sakurai was intriguing to say the least.

Seemed like a break episode or maybe a transition of sorts.

Mikage got some well-deserved attention. Dealing with one's insecurities is an arduous undertaking, but she seemed to have taken the first step on that challenging path. It was great to see another side of Mikage. A side more vulnerable than her composure would suggest.

Too bad that we did not get to see Mikage in her swimsuit, that one photo aside...

Some gorgeous shots of these petite angels this week. Always nice when the sexy stuff isn't too in your face with dumb exaggerated boob sizes. Here's my favorites, including a stitch I put together. Enjoy! (*^‿^*)




Slight return to form for my tastes as the show seemed to slow down a bit which it needed for the SOL vibes to really click. And there was some really nicely done character work with Sakurai which endeared me to her a hell of a lot.

Man, this season is actually insanely good for SOL / CGDCT between this, Nekopara and Bofuri.

The good news for her is that she already has a solid command of English, and the world is literally made of rocks! She just needs to go to college for geology, and she isn't limited to schools in Japan! For example, Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado has a very good geology program, is located in a very geologically interesting area, and has a fairly well-developed program for welcoming Japanese students. (I grew up around there)

Mira goes into a rock exhibit with sempai. Nice that they both enjoyed going there. Wow, meteor samples sure are expensive.

Then a bit of beach episode. That was a fun contest.

And lastly, I'm excited to see what cafe they will do on the school festival. :)

Oh ho ho ho. Jelly suzu. Those rafts are fun to ride on. I like the circle ones more though. That was better English than what we usually get. Much shorter though. Wonder if that helped.

Oh damn that got too real for a moment.

Okay but what kind of idiot dealer goes to as expo and allows people to pick up and examine items worth 2000$ unsupervised?!

The rest of the episode had surprising depth for what was looking to be a random beach episode, but that one part gave me anxiety. I can't be the only one.

Sakura is a bit melancholic about some things lately..
Also, it's hard to think something fun for geology.. Like.. Even this anime uses stars as the front.. And adds geology to the mix.. Like, imagine making anime purely about geology.. It is very niche.. Could work, really, but also hard to grab attention with something.. Won't say geology has no interesting things whatsoever or something.. But it's more on the harder side to make it engaging..

Suzu being jealous was amusing.

It was nice to see Mira spending time with Sakura. They had so much fun together.

Sakura is a little worried about her future. She doesn't know what she would like to do after graduation. There's plenty of time to figure that out, so she nothing to worry about. :)

Eve is really cute. I like her funny personality.

A geocafé sounds a very interesting idea for the cultural festival. Let's see what kind of café it will be.
