Another nice episode for this oddly compelling series.

In a way, I think this actually does a better job of communicating the story and the themes and especially the characters than any of the more vivid and interesting series I've seen cover more or less the same ground. It's just simple and heartfelt and earnest, and to its credit. Much like Uka herself.

The only real issue I might take with it is that it rushes through to settling conflicts too quickly and easily. Like in this one, Serina opened up to Uka too quickly, reacted to her entourage's bullying too forcefully and too quickly, and they made up with her, and then with Uka, too easily and too quickly. In the real world, those sorts of dramas and shifting alliances and grudges and reconciliations would be long and drawn-out and messy.

But they wouldn't fit in a half hour anime episode, and they are done well anyway, all things considered, so that's okay.

I wonder what the backstory's going to be berween Kai and Serina...
