These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
Pretty much all the moments with Otohime and Urashima (when he's not running away) is a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming in this episode.
The scene in episode 6, when Ringo is tearfully trying to convince Ryoko that she would never betray her.
Les Yay: Momoko to Ryoko: "If you'd just agree to be my little kitten, you'd be up and feeling wonderful every morning." While stroking her face.
Aaaaand then there's episode 8. In the conclusion of the fake preview, Ringo kisses Ryouko rather passionately (complete with a close-up!).
Ringo did say that it would be nice if Ryouko knew the joys of same sex love. And a bit more food for thought, she was the one who made the movie preview at the end of episode 8.
