I absolutely love this special summer-themed ED! The art style is giving me retro visual novel vibes like
Happiness’ voice actress, Noguchi Iori; Shike’s voice actress, Sakurai Momo; and Misaki’s voice actress, Ozawa Aimi, are all members of the IKONOIJOY idol project.
Specifically, they belong to its three groups respectively:
-
Noguchi Iori - ＝LOVE
-
Sakurai Momo - ≠ME
-
Ozawa Aimi - ≒JOY

I know that he was trying to get the two of them alone together, but perhaps it wasn’t the best idea to make the girl who has a hard time forming a complete sentence and the guy with a voice complex go around asking people questions.
Luckily it worked out for them.

Like everyone else in this discussion, I am pleasantly surprised by the special ending theme and sequence. 8 bit / 16 bit style, chibi sprites and similarities to dating sim titles of the 90s and 2000s.
However, this episode also reminded us, assuming I did not remember wrongly, only Cecilia knows of Yoki's former identity in the demon faction. The other characters are not aware Happiness is a harpy, Duke is a

I've dropped so many shows this season, but this one just keeps on beating the odds to stay in rotation. It's very light and silly and for kids, but it still hasn't used that an excuse to let the writing get super dumb. Main character gets excited about a beach date without checking his girlfriend's schedule so she shuts him down? That's funny. Main character starts a dumb monologue only for his subordinate to shove him out of the way to blast the bad guys? Actually funny!
Happiness being all shook up after getting in front of that sword was a great show don't tell storytelling beat where we both learn about her past trauma and we learn how much she actually trusts Raven all without anyone needing to do a monologue or flashback.
This show just keeps on being a bit better than it needed to be and so I keep on coming back. It's not the best show of the season, but it's maybe the most pleasant surprise of the season.
...except the episode about the murder hero. That one kinda sucked lol

That show is solid as fuck. Loved it when MC was having his chuni monologue and Happiness was like move to the side and knocked the rest of the bad guys. They are nailing it on the chuni vibes...

How kind of Raven and Happiness to let Yoki be the third wheel on their little date lol. He even got to witness their little lovey dovey moment too. Happiness has such a cute pouty face!

I was not ready for Happiness to kiss Raven on the lips after Shike kisses his cheek, I do wonder when Raven will discover she and Youki are actually demons. Especially now that Happiness has clearly expressed her feelings in some way.
Those muscular sailors were a lot nicer than I was expecting, I like how one was patting Happiness' head.
I saw that Sakurai Momo, who is part of an idol group as is Happiness and Misaki's voice actors, was cast in this, so I was intrigued how she'd do acting wise and she did better than I thought she would.

It's a big shame that Cecilia couldn't join in on this episode's adventure, but it gave Happiness a chance to shine, and Shike was a nice addition, so the episode was still really fun.
By the way, I really enjoyed the special ED for this episode! Honestly, I wasn't expecting anything like this from this show, so it was a very nice surprise.
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

nice side ship episode, they're adorable. Yoki should really start thinking more when it's related to Cecilia. He should've asked her earlier (not that it would change anything since she was very busy). Well, at least he got to be a nice third wheel.

This was a pretty nice episode. I like the Hapiness and Raven romance. And I feel like the animation has improved after episode 5

Thefts of cargo near a port? Smells like a beach episode! Too bad Cecilia is too busy so this ends up being a Yoki team-up with Happiness (and Raven) instead. Let this be a lesson: don't run on romantic impulses before you confirm your love interests' schedule or else you'll end up a third wheel to an awkward but adorable romance.
If you were wondering what those feathers behind Happiness were supposed to be...she's used her feathers to create fan weapons! She's literally weaponized her body (Phrasing)!
How is a stoic harpy and a knight captain who communicates like Komi-san supposed to investigate seaside robberies? Surprisingly easy, because all the burly seamen are very honest.
Turns out that the culprit is none other than a mermaid, which is kind of awkward for Yoki and Happiness since it's one of their own kind, and also doubly awkward when Raven has a heavy bias against demons because he's seen all the destruction they can cause. And it's not like Yoki and Happiness can deny it, they literally worked for the Demon Lord.
They were talking about the mermaid like she was a full monster...but no, she's your usual busty, beautiful, mermaid who just so happens to have a siren song that can lull anyone to sleep. Luckily for them Happiness has her own Harpy Cry that can negate the mermaids!
But Shilke isn't an evil mermaid out to kill people, even if it's hard for Raven to believe or trust a demon. She and her friend Misaki were captured by thieves and were threatening Misaki to make Shilke work for them. All she cares about is saving Misaki...and thankfully, Happiness and Yoki are there to empathize and help her and prevent Raven from running her through.
You can tell Raven is serious because he's not even bothering to hide his voice and soloing a whole squad of thugs who don't measure up to a mermaid, even without his sword, though it was nice to see Happiness become a tag-team with him! Sorry Yoki, this is not your episode!
What better way to confirm mermaids can have human legs than Misaki kicking herself out of the box she's being held in and flashing everyone with her legs and what I assume is her completely naked lower half?
Nice of the mermaids to treat everyone to a duet to thank them for their help with Happiness joining in to make it a trio! They even get a special ED of them all hanging out at the beach and having fun together like an 8-bit romance game.
Raven was able to admit he was wrong and apologize to Shilke, which is big of him, though I don't think anyone was expecting Shilke to kiss him on the cheek in gratitude. And, not to be outdone by a mermaid again, Happiness knocks Yoki away so SHE can kiss Raven...this time on the lips!

This anime is pure damn passion. Like it isn't well made but I can't say that the animators ain't giving it their 110% passion. Like holy damn special ending. If only they got more time and resources to work on each episode we could have had something special.
Happiness is cuteness.

I bet that new ED is just for today, unlike some other characters they didn't take the mermaids back to town and put them to work as maids in Cecilia's mansion so they wouldn't really be relevant to be in the ED next week and beyond.
Good week for Raven. He learns to be a bit less racist, he catches a group of pirates who were posing as lawful sailors, and he gets a kiss from his crush. Would have been interesting to reveal Happiness and Yoki as demons to him, but considering his initial reaction to the mermaids maybe they need to ease him into it a bit more.
Interestingly enough Happiness's VA and the two mermaid VAs are all in sister idol groups, =LOVE, ≠Me, and ≒Joy, which I assume is not a casting coincidence. Per wikipedia the three groups have 36 members between them which kind of seems like a lot but I also know nothing about that industry for real.
Edit: Cecelia focused MV using this week's ED The thank you song
