Maybe it's just one of those things that Zessica needs to get off her chest, regardless of what Amata's response is. Though atm it seems she's abit demoralized by it seeing as how she thinks it almost killed everyone... Though not enough to skip a beach episode.

I think the fate of Kagura is death, like Brera of MF... I don't want that happen, because I really like Kagura and I think he has a good chemistry with Mikono... I really hope to be wrong, that this doesn't happen and that really has a happy ending, with no tragic deaths or people sealed beneath the earth for another 12 or 24 thousand years. |

and btw Amata was not about to ‘turn Zessica down’ as some ppl are speculating. He said ‘okimochi wa ureshi desu’ which means ‘ I am happy to hear your feelings..’ he didnt say but or ‘demo’ anywhere...unless this was already mentioned lol in a previous comment
This is why u need to learn the language, makes things so easier..subs are not always accurate.. Im not native speaker btw so i borrowed my sis for a couple of seconds |

Good lordy, what an epic shout that was, Fudo! And GOOOOO ZESSICA~! I love this girl - seriously, she's a lovable blend of playful, bashful, serious and just plain awesome.
Haaa~aah, if I was only ten years younger...

"Erm, I'm flattered, but..." is classic set-up for a romantic rejection. I don't know if "I am happy to hear your feelings..." has the same sort of implication in Japan, but I doubt it. Well, maybe this is enough to shift Amata/Zessica from 100% impossible to 99% unlikely, at least.

Maximillionus: you're not wrong about what he literally said in *that* line, but you're ignoring the line that immediately precedes it (it was pretty much exactly "what'd be good to say?", maybe "nan tte ieba ii ka"?) and also his tone of voice for both. It's pretty clear he's caught off guard; her feelings for him are a happy surprise but he's just trying to find a way to defuse the situation politely.
Golos: if this was a better written show I'd say Mikono's reaction is due to some mix of her overreacting due to her guilty conscience (over defending Kagura, etc.) and her overreacting due to her annoyance that Amata's reaction didn't check in with her. The latter point might need explanation. Mikono would want Amata's priorities in that situation to be: #1 Mikono's feelings (e.g.: giving her reassurance), #2 Zessica's feelings (e.g.: being nice about the rejection). IIRC, once Zessica confessed Amata didn't even look over at Mikono to gauge her reaction and/or let her know give her any reassurance, which makes it look like she's not priority #1, and thus her outsized reaction. But, honestly, I think the reaction is just there because it's funnier that way, and at this point in the show it'd be even weirder to have her sit back and do absolutely nothing. tl;dr: she's probably jealous because he cares enough about Zessica to be nice?

well amata was feeling dejected about the whole fate thing thinking mikono would abandon him like his mother did. he is guy who wants love and ofcourse be loved by mikono. but you know aquarion doesn't fly just for romantic love even if zessica's intentions were romantic feeling.
so i am sure amata is happy to hear some one say they like/love him being a abandoned person he is even if he can't return the feelings in romantic light. it slike say if you watch naruto, he wanted his parents to tell him that they love him. |

Is there really a need to think so hard about it -_- ? It's just a common reaction in Anime, by that I'm referring to both Amata and Mikono's. I don't see anyone questioning why Zen felt the need to (over)react like he did... >.>
EDIT: But this reminded me of something that I forgotten to bring up: When Aquarion went berserk, for some reason Donar immediately identifies Zessica's love as 'Unrequited' as oppose to 'Mutual Love'.... ...Really? Was it really that obvious to you, Donar ? Was it really that obvious to everyone including the computer ?

Whether the characters are well-written or not, it doesn't mean they can't have simple reactions and impulses. But no matter, this is not something that needs to be discuss

Of course, I found much of this episode a bit suspect in writing especially in regards to Mikono and how she was treated. Some aspects of the writing were honestly entirely off the wall for her character: "Shushu likes him... he cannot be that bad of a guy." There is no logic in this sentence, none, unless the point is to show a paramount level of self-delusion in Mikono. (Of course, I'm very suspicious of what Fudo might be planning.) Kagura: Kills classmates + Nearly kills Amata + Shushu likes him Conclusion? Must not be that bad of a guy. Where is my Jackie Chan? Spoiler for There he is:
Random asides of details: Zessica and Amata share the hole-couple for advice. The island blows up in a heart shape. Zessica has the most selflessly selfish love confession ever: "Screw destiny, go for the girl you like... but, on that note, I love you!" This will either turn out to be ironic or iconic in the long run, I feel. Ianthe remains, what I think, to be an artificial tree of life.
