I think this show is settling into something that is not remarkable, but still enjoyable every week, especially for its small touches.
Kotobuki Minako is really suiting her voice, weird accent and all, to the character of Yuuko. And she is the best singer of the group so far, for sure. Fukuhara Kaori is really Run, fresh and loopy. Newcomer Uchiyama Yumi is doing a creditable job as Nagi. And Yuuki Aoi always has those little touches, those little turns in her voice that give life to Tooru.
@Midonin -- I believe they are at the beach by
Enoshima island, which is part of Fujisawa city. They took the cute little
Enoshima Electric Railway that runs between Fujisawa and Kamakura via Enoshima.
Enoshima is featured even more prominently in
Uta Kata , which is a neglected but enjoyable moe supernatural mystery show from 2004, directed by Keiji Gotou (
Kiddy Grade). Here are a
couple of
websites showing pics of the "sacred places" from
Uta Kata in the anime and in real life.
Uta Kata was one of the shows that first got me interested in anime.
