Natsuiro Kiseki

[inisipis]

Ep. 7 I think is the best one so far. Great dynamics to all the four protagonist and a definite hint on a plot of the series. Very funny but with a subtle touch in showing the characters personalities, their families and the town that they're living in.
Yuka is very the likable genki moron, always charging head long without thinking but lacks resolve. Rin is the dependable support, patient and optimistic. Natsumi is like a lion, strong and decisive, she's all out to put her best for her friends. Saki is Saki, that's that. Fortunately for her she's no long the butt-monkey of the show. Here we really see Saki as the wise elegant princess that she is. I like her more with her hair tied up twin-tails. makes her more cuter.

The good old fashioned way to get rid of rain works best.

I really like where this anime is going now that it has hit its stride with its slice-of-life aspects. This is the perfect anime for me to watch weekly, with its episodic plot and heartwarming character interaction.

Oh, twintail Yuka was nice, but shame on you for not mentioning Saki's twintails! They were one of the most striking parts of this episode, next to Saki undressing, of course.

[silvercover]

I sort of thought that yuka did sort of wish to win near the end. she seemed somewhat sullen and quiet(well, before the rant about idols) after the competition. glad to see that was not, though it would have provided some more drama.

I wish that natsumi blushed though, when saki asked about how does she look. rin got her blush, why not her too?

[blakstealth]

Pretty awesome ep, especially the end.

[ThereminVox]

*nods* mm-mmm. Probably smart not to depend on wishes for that festival. After all, if I had to elevator-pitch the summary of the series it would be "Four marks get trolled by a rock for two months."

[Chiaki_chan]

Verry good episode

Spoiler for Girls' Life 08 - There and Back Again:

Much like last week brought the idol storyline to the forefront, this episode did the same for the Saki moving plotline. Sort of. It quickly became a travelogue of Tokyo, though I can appreciate the idea behind it. A chance for Saki to see her new home with her old friends. (Except for the magic rock. Unless there are other magic rocks in Japan that I'm unaware of. Let's not take the star out of the spotlight.) Do all ships have traveling quarters like that in Japan? The area where the girls slept was pretty spartan. By taking them away from the town, it reduced the cast to its core components, and carried it off pretty well, I thought. That surfer girl(?) [really, the gender is pretty ambiguous] at the end looks to shake things up a bit. I'm not totally sure what direction the show is trying to go in here, but I look forward to seeing it.

Spoiler for ...:

[justsomeguy]

The art and animation in episode 8 is QUALITY. All of the faces are noticeably bad, movements are rough and simplistic. Please fix this for the BD, Sunrise.

I hope this is a true girl "boy-missed" but I feel that it's a real good boy we'll see her when the episode will come out ...

Well said, cant help but keep noticing inconsistencies in the animation, especially in this episode. Shame though that a good story isn't complimented by decent animation.

[Utsuro no Hako]

For some reason this episode reminded me of that part of The Ring where they go out to the island where Sadako/Samara used to live. I kept expecting them to end up on some barren, wind-swept island where they'd find a second rock and hints about a deeper mystery. Instead they end up in a tropical paradise where everyone's super-tan (seriously, that's part of Tokyo?)

[ookamigirl]

Girls planning a trip together..
It was nice watching them prepare ^^
The boat ride was pretty interesting.
That suitcase full of snacks was a cool idea.
Saki was kinda feeling down the entire time.
Hope she'll cheer up in next episode.

[ars89]

Poor Saki having that bad dream, but she also doesn't doo anything about it. Glad Natsumi is there to fight for her. Lol Yuka almost drowning.

Spoiler for ep8:

This episode was... nostalgic. Ahh... Who would have thought this tragic (script-wise) anime would bring me such a feeling.
That nostalgia of terrible, hilarious animation. Anime these days don't really fall apart very badly, but then you have this...! And it's a shame, since I have a feeling the story of this episode was actually somewhat decent compared to the other ones. Too bad the animation was so distracting.
And what is with the father's eyes being so... blank...?

Spoiler for Who the hell...?:
