Heartwarming / Star Driver

• Every scene where Mizuno and Marino are onscreen together is worthy of a "D'awwwww."
  • The "It'll Be Okay" spell: Katami, wakachita, yagadanse.
  • The ending of episode 16.
• A short scene in episode 21, Sakana sees ash from the volcano falling on the island, thinking that it's snow. A short, sweet scene occurs.
  • Sakana and Head have their moments in all the scenes where Sakana is telling the story of Sam the Squidkiller to Head. And when Head lets her go free from her cage, stating to Ryousuke later that "her hands were free from the beginning." Despite the vibes of Stockholm Syndrome and Lima Syndrome, their relationship was probably the least toxic one that Head is shown to have in the entire series.
• Episode 4: Takuto learns that as long as Wako is a Shrine Maiden, she can never leave the island and fulfill her dream of being a singer in Tokyo. He decides to destroy every last Cybody so that the Shrine Maidens won't be needed anymore.
• Episode 10: Takuto uses the above-mentioned "It'll Be Okay" spell in battle.
• Simone learning the truth about Kanako in Episode 11, and her long speech about her in the following episode that is prefaced with "Even though I work for her, I don't like her"...and ends with Takuto observing "You really do like her, huh?" and Simone promptly blushing.
  • Takuto proceeds to tell Kanako that Simone "treasures her", with Kanako's reply being "She's my jewel."
• Episode 15: After a seemingly endless loop of trying to leave the island by boat only to hear her alarm clock and wake up in her room like in a nightmare that just won't stop, Mizuno sits down in a parking lot and breaks into sobs. Wako finds her like this and immediately expresses concern, taking her indoors and giving her a hot drink. Mizuno asks Wako if she could hold her hand again. When Wako does so, Mizuno slowly begins to smile and says, almost in disbelief, "Wako...you're really here. This isn't a dream. It's real."
  • This also comes shortly avert Mizuno had been devastated to learn that Takuto had feelings for Wako. But after this happens, she is able to accept this and move on, likely because she can now see just why Takuto would love Wako and can't possibly blame him for it.
• Episode 23: "Hey, Wako! Let's go on a date!"
• Episode 24: "Why else would I have such a big boat?" Also a Moment of Awesome.
