Umi Monogatari Ep 7

Summary:

Surprise, surprise; the servant who had disobeyed Sedna's orders and was turned back into its original form was actually the Elder Turtle's daughter, who will join their team. However, every since Urin disappeared, Marin been depress and is determined to save her - alone.

Immediately she decides to return to the sea in search for her younger sister and bring her back. Kanon who wishes accompany her is told to search somewhere in her house for the Porterius Ring, that will allow her to breathe underwater, which she eventually found.

While deep under the sea Marin reunites with Warin and Sam who joins her in search for her sister - however frustrated and desperate, Marin claims she wants to do it alone so that she proves to Urin that she sincerely cares about her.

But before she could swim off into the eerie worn down shrine, a monstrous squid appears and attacks them. Marin refuses to backdown and is determined to get by it - however her powers aren't working and is hopeless in this battle.

Luckily, Kanon appears just in time and battles the giant squid, and then tries the purifying method that Marin usually does - and successfully purified the beast, who turned out to be a pug that belonged to a fisherman who she knows of, in the mean time searching for his dog. She returns the dog back to the surface where he is reunited with his owner.

Kanon, Marin, Sam, Warn and the two turtles all hurry into the shrine where there is overflowing dark energy. The Elder Turtle is suddenly startled to see the seal removed, where then right on the cue, loads of energy erupted from the once sealed coffin, where then revealed Urin within a cocoon.

Marin desperately cries out for her sister to come back and return to her side and tells her not to accept that dark power. As she takes a step closer Urin lashes out a blinding light where the cavern starts to collapses as they are blown away, leaving them no choice but to retreat.

Impression:

The episode was pretty good. The quality was really good and I'm happy to see that Kanon is starting to accept the role of the Sky Maiden. I think that Kanon makes a better priestess since she has a grip of what reality really like. For Marin, she's thinks - or rather thought life was good and bright where happiness will always be around them. But with her sister gone, it's definitely a wake up call for Marin, which will help her develop her own character.

Marin was acting very reckless this episode, and I was entertained (strangely enough) that she couldn't use her powers and that it was up to Kanon to take care of things.

It seems next week going to continue getting interesting, it seems that there will be a flashback about Marin's and Urin's childhood. I suspect it'll be somewhat boring and cute at the same time. Well whatever, I'll bare with it.
