Umi Monogatari Ep 3

Fortune Telling Ad or a Death Note?

Summary:

Kanon was looking forward for a quiet morning, only to see that Marin, Urin, Matsumoto and her mother sitting at the table watching television. It turns out they came so that they can awaken hers and Marin's true powers. Her mother also supports the idea of Kanon being a priestess. Kanon protests that she doesn't have time to be a priestess due to her preparation for the entrance exams for University, and how she isn't going to become a fortune-teller either.
She rants about how much she is sick of island, and how she wants to live a stylish life in the city, how she wants to see the whole world. She then leaves for a bath.
Her mother suddenly starts telling Marin and the others about how she thinks that Kanon has been storing up evil feelings since she was young. Her mother also finds out from Marin and Urin that Kanon was dumped by her ex.
Later after Kanon gets out of the bath, she receives a call from an 'annoying person' called Suzuki who was inviting her to join a hang out with the girls in their class. Kanon refuses the invitation by exclaiming how she has to study and work.
Mean while, Marin and Urin gets some clothes, and accompany Kanon to work.
While handing out ads, Marin explains how when she found the ring, she suddenly had the urge to go to the surface, to see a whole new world. Kanon asks whether that means she wants her to attend university rather than be a priestess.
Suddenly Kanon spots Suzuki whom she was talking to on the phone earlier who was looking for her, leaving Marin to fill her for her while she hides.
Marin offers a "fortune telling" but instead the conversation leads on to how Suzuki is friends with Kanon and explained further why Kanon was always considered scary, but how she noticed that Kanon always taken the jobs that no one else wanted to do, probably because she hated seing people quarrel.
Kanon who is eavesdropping becomes confused, not quite understanding why Suzuki was saying those things, and why Marin replied saying that she's a kind person.

After Suzuki leaves, Marin who did not realize that was Suzuki but was told by Kanon, explains that she probably wants to be Kanon's friend. However Kanon jerks about how that can't be true since she is evil and people avoid her. Marin tells her that she'll always be her friend with a hug, but Kanon pushes her away and claims that she will just do the same as every else does and runs away.

Urin goes chasing after her and yells at her asking why does Kanon always says evil things, and how she can't become the pristess of the sky. Kanon replies that she doesn't want to be a priestess, but then Urin starts hitting her back and exclaiming how she wants to be the priestess of the sky, and how she wants to defeat Sedna, but as much as she wants to be it, she can't.

Suddenly two evil servants of Sedna's appears, targetting Kanon just like the previous servant claiming that they found an evil soul. One attack Urin while the other tries to kiss Kanon, only Kanon to be saved by Marin, who appeared just on time, telling her and Urin to runaway.

Indeed Kanon runs away without hestation at first claiming how she'll never do another dirty job, and how she doesn't do stupid things because she wants to. But in the end she returns and takes on the role of being the sky priestess as much as she doesn't want to be one and aids Marin in battle.

Kanon attacks the servants, with one of them tries to protect the other who gets hurt. Marin approaches them and purifies them, returning them back into the sea.
Later on Kanon goes to see Suzuki and gives her a coupon for Fortune-Telling and how that she'll do it herself and that she is starting to think that she won't go to university, and how she'll try and become more pure.

Impression:

We certainly got to learn more about Kanon's character and receive more background about her personality and how her childhood made her into her person she is now. And also, this episode definitely confirmed that Kanon is a very very stubborn person.
There was also something I noticed: the sea creatures that are cursed by Sedna into evil beings still has their own mind when it comes to someone important to them.
I'm also starting to wonder if it'll only be sea creatures that'd be cursed by Sedna. I'm kind of hoping to see some animals on the island, or even humans being manipulated. I think when that happens, there was might be a whole new level of enemies then.

Marin and Urin looked absolutely adorable in their outfits, and I'm pretty glad to see them in actual clothing rather than their usual outfits (ahaha). Their reaction when they heard the bath water go on and their reaction towards bubbles and hot water was fun to watch.

Overall, I would say the episode was decent. At least like I just said, we got to learn more Kanon.
Judging the preview it looks like that we'll be under the ocean, along with seeing the two other sea beings we saw in the first episode!!!! ^______^ I already can see myself laughing over Kanon's reactions if she has to go under the sea as well. But who knows, maybe she can't! That I might find amusing as well (I don't know why though, hahaha).
