| I really like this anime. I think the animation is breathtaking and every character comes across as a unique individual. Each episode gets better as it digs into the storyline, I look forward every week. I too thought it was obvious that Phos was in the snail shell but I was too happy to see Cinnabar helping and showing some interest in Phos's well being so I think it worked out good. |

I completely agree. Watching the first episode it took me some time to get used to it, but now I'm in love with the animation. It is so sharp, that few fast paced moments were just breathtaking. After 3-4 weeks into this season I can say it is one of the most enjoying shows to follow. 5/5 |
Himawari9 said: TsundeReaper said: I know they're genderless and all but this bothers me, why use "He", "Himself", "He's"? Despite the Japanese choice of words (which seems to be primary when it comes to genderless characters) they're all still 100% females in appearance Because they identify themselves as male. They used "ore, aniki" which are male pronouns. So if a boy looks feminine you are gonna refer to him as female? That isn't right. They are not 100% female since they are just lump of rock. It is because of the art that you think they looks female but later, there are male characters also look the same. If you want, just refer to them by their name. Traps aside Tomboys uses "ore" too in some cases reverse traps uses "ore" |
| I love the way this show looks, we don't see stuff like this ever. I wonder what their budget was, because that must have helped lol.. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| Woah, I'm impressed by what the director is doing with the series, and the CGI looks smooth as fuck. Dia such a good girl |
Himawari9 said: Actually, that only happen in fictions and in extreme rare cases. I only see one in all of the anime I have seen, Shiba Kuukaku from Bleach. Tomboy and traps use "boku" . And "aniki" means "big brother". But this anime is also fiction lol |
Himawari9 said: Out of curiosity, are you aware of any genderless equivalent of "aniki"? Languages usually lean towards the masculine when gender is unknown/undefined. Plus, we have a firmly masculine design and male seiyuu with Kongou-sensei; everybody else has a feminine design with a female seiyuu.Actually, that only happen in fictions and in extreme rare cases. I only see one in all of the anime I have seen, Shiba Kuukaku from Bleach. Tomboy and traps use "boku" . And "aniki" means "big brother". |
| Dia-chan is the best girl<3 OMG I love her. Her voice matches perfectly with the character design too. Also the argument between Phos and the snail at the end was hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing and smiling. Oh and that was some amazing animation for Dia's parkour that was really cool. |
 |
| This just keeps getting better and better! |
| Really liked this ep, just like the previous 2. Cinnabar is such a nice person, they did not only helped Dia but even decided to wait longer for Phos to find something only they could do. |
 I'm watching anime since 2012. I also play games, sometimes. Don't bother me if you want to 'become friends' or things like that. It's tiresome. I know you just want to collect some meaningless numbers. Thought: How many people sparked H. Charlotta just for blue pot? |
| So Dia was really carrying around some random snail monster calling it Phos huh? lmao Also with Phos' newfound ability of communicating with this snail and probably more I wonder what she's gonna do with it? |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| So there you have your breakthrough discovery, Phos. She really is annoying, the same for Bort. That being said i gotta admit this story somehow manages to bring you in. I will like to see with more detail how the doc ensambles the diamonds when they break as bad as Phos did. I doubt what they showed was literally it so. |

| It's quite impressive how fast and fluid the movements can be. Interesting to see how strange their reaction to loss is. |
 |
| Jesus Christ, those action sequences from Dia was visually stimulating! |
 |
| Even though Phos wasn't actually the little snail, it seemed to react like it was Phos at some parts. Freaky bunch of coincidences there. It does seem like Phos gained a new ability from their experience inside the shell though: speaking snail. Based off this episode and the last one, Dia is best. Every time I'm impressed by the CG in this show I have to pinch myself. CG anime isn't supposed to be good! |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| The cgi was so beautiful! Phos x Cinnabar is going to be interesting. |
  ~ |
| Is anybody else really distracted by the "no" hiragana shoved into nearly every other kanji in the opening credits? This whole episode I just kept asking myself what the hell I was watching. Really on the fence about this one so far xP |
 |
| THIS ANIME IS SO BEAUTIFUL! I can't stop being impressed by it. |
| Cutesy episode, but the episode over halved my interest in this show from the first two eps. Went to bed after episode two last night really excited, but way to start the night on a low point i guess. Unimpressive episode, in summary. |
 "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment" |
| the power of 3D animation at display those amazing camera angles and camera rotations are so nice and nice to see Phos getting reassembled again and she can even understand that enemy animal lol |
| That sure was interesting! Quite the nice development, let's see what's next. |
 |
| Great episode, wonder if there's more to Phos' new ability to understand the slug! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Why on earth did I put this on-hold for so long? This episode was incredible! Emotionally gripping, and production-wise it was freaking incredible. I'm definitely not giving up on this anime again! |
| It's visually very appealing, no doubt about that. Story-wise, does it get better? It's nice, yes, but I can't see a direction. Maybe it doesn't have to have one. |
| So the whole thing with Phos being the snail ended up being false. Which is hilarious considering everyone's reactions to it. |
 |
| At first I was like "Isn't Phos inside the shell, you know, with all the mint-colored parts...?" But then they stopped caring about it and the snail acted so smart so I started believeing that maybe it really was Phos for some reason, and then it turns out I was right the whole time >.> Jeez these gems just can't see something so obvious! On the other hand, so many great animation this episode, including Dia's run and Phos' reconstruction. Looks like now she can speak slug...ish. Or whatever. |
 |
| Dia on that slip n slide. Phos is that thing? Did Dia just get shitted on by Phos? Phos is back. Phos can talk to it. Need more Dia episodes. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Man the CG in this show is honestly stunning. Some of shots they are able to pull off just blow me away. |
| Yaayyyyy~ Phos is back to normal huehue C: I freaking adored Dia's acrobatic scene. It was STUNNING! Borts really cares about Dia. She just doesn't have any tact, haha The snail was cute in the end. It didn't meany any harm :} I guess Phos was united with the snail so much that she can understand its language now lmfao Cinnabar should be more honest and say she's taken a liking to Phos haha. Just a little bit :P |
| Mmmh, I didn't enjoy this episode as much as the previous ones: I find Dia kind of annoying; all sweet and kind... At least Phos is back! |
 |
| So she was not inside the slug and that was the actual thing downsized? Damm they really are industrible in a way huh? Also love talk? I m not expecting any romance from this since hey, genderless and ALL!! Himawari9 said: It is amusing watching people who still see them as female and call them she/her. That slug is more of a woman than them. Dont care, will keep calling them like that. They are much closer to being females than genderless or males. |
 |
| I knew it this become yuri. Love Diamond so far. |
| There is like 2 weeks delay in my recent reading list I randomly bought discount/second hand manga with cute/mysterious cover.  Use Personal Blacklist extension in Chrome if you just want to Google for a series synopsis, without google slapping MAL score in it. 3/1 |
| Dia is your lovely girl who doesn't have confidence. Phos gets new powers. |
| Dia is truly a caring gem. Nice touch with Cin's knowledge of snails to make him understand that the shell contains Phos, not the snail. Dia's running and Phos' revival are tremendously well done with breathtaking CGI. Dia's last smile tho... He needs to be protected:3 (too strong tho) |
| "All truth is meaningless. In the end, 'meaning' comes from the mind of each individual human. Even when there is a single truth, it can mean different things to different individuals. The truth has no meaning in itself!" - Erika Furudo |
| Gawd ... the animation is truly gorgeous, Diamond running back to the castle and the first scene with both Diamonds fighting the Snail. |
 |
| I'm glad Phos is back to normal. :) Another good episode. |
 |
| Amazing!!!!! Idk what to say! Can't wait for the next |
"Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder"~Rumi |
| That slug thing is weirdly cute lol. It's also refreshing seeing phos again I'm really liking these episodes |
 |
| Probably my favorite episode so far. We finally heard Cinnabears true feelings. And Dia not giving up to save Phos. Everyone kinda bullies each other but they still care a lot. Thanks to Cinna, Dia found a way to save Phos. And ofcourse, everyone started helping Dia to save her. They're a bunch of good people even though their personality can be pretty shitty sometimes. And Phos talking to the Snail lol, she can understand it. Dia's smile in the end was so adorable. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Damn, when Phosphophyllite got consumed by the snail/slug creature and her being gone for a while, all other gems didn't shed a single sense of worries safe for the ever-caring, kindhearted Diamond herself and the hesitant but worrying Cinnabar. That's cold, and quite frankly a jerk move. Though I suspect Phosphophyllite's annoyance and obnoxious interactions for the past 300 years has given these gems a bunch of things they don't like from her, it doesn't justify how totally uncaring they are, sheesh. Well, at last, Phosphophyllite is saved from the shell. The other gems only did as they were told and saved Phosphophyllite not out of compassion but purely as a duty, unlike Diamond. After all that business, at least she got a new skill now that allows her to understand this creature and is able to directly converse with it. (Though others may just brush it off as her being weird.) |
  |
| Diamond is so pretty and kind. Phos' true power, goes into living creatures and synchronize with them. She can even speak snail. Great action sequences with the camera angles. |
| Anime is fun. |
| Cinnabar is such a Tsundere. Only Dia was willing to help Phos. Good on him. Only Phos can understand the snail. Well, at least now he has a topic for his encyclopedia. |
