Glasslip – Episode 4

From the looks of it, Yuki is becoming anxious over Touko since he believes that she might have a thing for Kakeru. Believe it or not, she still outright denies it. This makes you wonder if Touko made the wrong decision to protect Yanagi’s feelings since she now shows a slight interest in Kakeru. If so, Touko better figure out her feelings soon or she might become more upset if she sees her best friend with him again.

Look on the blight side! At least the relationship between Sacchi and Hiro is progressing a little.

Hanayamata – Episode 4

I admit that Tami looks like the princess, especially in Naru’s eyes. Considering that she is trying her hardest to impress her father, it’s understandable since she comes from a wealthy family. However, one has to wonder if she is getting a bit too old to do various activities just to impress her father. After Naru chased her after she suddenly ran way, she finally realized that everyone is here to support her, not just her father.

In short, one should pursue activities or studies for their own benefit, not just to impress your parents. Tami just needed a little push in the right direction like Naru with Hana.  Even so, it shows how much Naru changed in a short period of time.

Free Eternal Summer – Episode 4

While Haruka and company did not get much screen time except for Gou complaining about their diets, I’m glad that we got a flashback of Rin’s and Sousuke’s past. They apparently made a promise and had disagreements over the spirit of relays.

Apparently, Sousuke believes that one can only become a good swimmer alone. Of course Rin thinks differently now, especially when he changes the relay entry requirement as part of the promise. Hopefully Sousuke will learn a thing about teamwork although I have a strange feeling that he is doing it to beat Haruka. Either way, it will be interesting to see how Rin’s team compare to Iwatobi’s if they somehow get to the regional. ¶
