Episode 20

Everyone's Reactions

Shark-chan picks shaved ice as her souvenir. It looks like it might melt in the heat, but since her family isn't at the sea, it feels extra special. The scenes of building the pigpen, livestock escaping, and the dog's true nature shining through feel nostalgic, like a cozy vacant lot. The way she casually lies about things unrelated to paleontology as if they're facts, plus the moment her contact lens pops out, blurs the line between science and everyday life in a fun way. Goma-chan's sleep paralysis and heatstroke episodes also add to that warm, summery atmosphere, making you want to rewatch on-demand. I'm excited to see how Shark-chan and her friends spend the rest of their summer!
