Visually stunning as usual, to the point where I'm not even surprised anymore. Phos though, seems like they really do treat him as a good for nothing, but yeah at the end of the day they did help so that's what it counts.

Story aside, I really like the concept of this anime. Each character have a property like real life gems. For example, Cinnabar is a poisonous rock that contains mercury, and Diamond is the hardest mineral but isn’t really tough as everyone think. It’s so simple but super interesting at the same time for me.

Here I thought Phos would transform or get a crazy power up after getting devoured by that snail, but understanding them now works too.

Beautiful episode.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

This show is crazy good. The animation and soundtrack are excellent, and the relationships between the characters are really interesting too.

It's kind of amusing how this episode shows that most of the gems actually don't care much about Phos's situation. I'd like to believe that it's because the gems don't fear death since they can always be brought back, but maybe it's also because that Phos really is an annoying person. :P

Highkey thought Phos was the snail too. Idk wtf that snail is made of that lets it dissolve Diamond and Phosphophylite though. This is such a bizarre show

I know it's quite early to complain about this but it's crazy to think of how inconsistent the world building seems. How have they all been living 100 years and still know nothing. What's the trigger to all these interesting events if they've been around for a long time, and why didn't they notice pieces of her in the shell besides claiming to thoroughly search the snail's shell. It just doesn't add up. Might be blowing this out of proportion myself but I think everything so far in the episode has been quite the plot convenience.

I mean, there's a distinct green color that only Phos exudes, how could they have missed that if they knew she had been dissolved and could be put back together if piece of her are found. It just doesn't add up.

This show is getting more interesting by the minute. For a moment I thought Pho was the little slug-like critter. It'll be interesting to see their future interactions.
