Umi Monogatari Episode 5

Horrifying Indeed

Summary:

Swirling the oversized ring around her finger, Urin can't help but deal with that fact that the ring would not fit properly on her finger. Kanon who notices her playing with it boredly, takes the ring decides to find a chain where she can put it through. Thus she creates a makeshift necklace and hands it back to Urin, who was absolutely delighted about what she had done for her.

When it's time for the Solar Eclipse, it's time for making money off tourists - but also to be conscious as the island gets bathed by the shallow darkness.
The Elder turtle and the three girls go back to where Sedna was first released. He reads a special language that has the history of the events recorded down for only Turtles like himself can understand. He explains how that the Solar Eclipse makes people who have evil aura very vulnerable, since Sedna will not miss her chance of obtaining the power of evil. He pointedly said this to Kanon so that she can be cautioned and on guard - and if Sedna obtains what she needs, Kanon will not be able to transform or use any powers of the Sky Maiden.
Speaking of losing the ability to love, Kanon recalls the time when she and Kojima "ended" their relationship, mainly because she felt that she was being a burden to him and told him that she didn't mind if she were to be dumped.

Later, the three of them and the turtle are all set to watch the elispse. Marin can't help but wince at the sight of the sun being overcomed by darkness. Just as the eclipse starts, Kanon recieves a call from Kojima, unsure whether to answer or not. Marin asked her whether she still loves him - causing her to flinch and glance warily back at the ring where then Urin defensively holds the ring away from her, Kanon then says that she doesn't care about the ring and this kind of level of "darkness" is not something to worried about. Shortly Urin lectures her.
While all this is happening, suddenly Marin gets possessed by an evil mind, who then suddenly said very cruel things to Urin, while she mentally tried to stop it and was horrified of all these things that were being said. Upset, Urin runs away just before Marin could control herself again.

The sun is almost completely covered by the darkness, Urin stands by the ocean as jealousy over comes her, causing her to tear off the necklace lace and drop the chain into the sea. She then places the ring onto her finger - only as soon as she did that, something terrible happened.
The ring starts glowing and deformed itself into the perfect fit, a deadly amount of evil energy starts to emerge from the ring. The moon glows eeriely crimson red, as the ocean turns black as a specific spot begins to glow as mysterious purple butterflies appears, swirling around like a twister.

Impression:

CLIFFHANGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! \oO/
Well, I had spoiled myself slightly by the trailer, but since the second episode I was certain that it was Urin who was going to be used as a pawn. The fact that the relationship between her and Marin was being stretched due to how she is so used to just the two of them and such, not being able to recieve all the love and affection alone anymore, and then having Sedna (I'm going to guess she's the one who made Marin say all those horrible things) drop the bomb, (quite litterally) and then flawlessly push her into the state where she is most vunerable.

I really, really - no seriously: really like the way things are going with this anime. I don't know whether it's just me being a fan and enjoying the storyline and such, but I can't help myself about being excited for what is yet to come.

There was one thing that caught my attention, though I might be thinking into it too might, but there were some parts of the episode where the quality dropped a bit - but that's just me, I can't help but notice it (or at least, "assume so".)

The next episode looks like everyone thinks Urin is okay, but to me - ah ha ha, she's totally brainwashed and being possessed. I'm really looking forward to seeing who that lady (or should I say girl???) who came out of the sea (which I did not mention in the summary). I'm debating whether she's a Lobster that was "cursed" by Sedna, or maybe is Sedna herself.
One more thing before I finish this up, this person here:

Is it just me alone, or are there other people who finds this character very suspicious? For some odd reason I find that person being related to Sedna in some way...*shrugs* I must be thinking too much into this.^_^*
