| OMG I'm just falling in LOVE more and more with this new positive change in character in Rin gaaaahhhh This is now my latest screen wallpaper :3 And, THE HELL..... Momotaro WHAT THE F- poor Ai... (>.<) |
| That endcard though xD |
| Rei's laugh gives me life~ lol Another great episode but I just hope Sousuke doesn't pull any crap at the relay... & the ending card is hilarious! poor Ai +it seems next episode has to do with Nagisa ~ looking forward to that! |
| I like how Gou worries about their muscles more than about them XD |
 |
| Seeing Momo in the ending card, holding a frog and chasing Ai, reminds me of Haru. :3 |
| I hope Sousuke can understand Rin now |
paak0 said: This is now my latest screen wallpaper :3 haha this made me laughXD really nice ep. I'm not too fond of Sousuke yet, but I like him already better then in the previous eps. nice to see Ai putting so much effort to participate in the relay. Nagisa never fails to make me laugh, can't wait for the next ep. |
 |
| THIS OST IS SO FREAKING BASED Katou Tatsuya is doing some excelling work. I'm glad Rin's standing up for both his ideals and his friends. The bonding and growth between all the characters is really fun to watch. They're giving Gou a lot more screentime. She's cute and everything but there's no development, it seems unneeded. Or at least make the jokes funnier. I like seeing the boys interact more. The translation of this is I guess: "everyone call me a faggot pls" I seriously can't wait for this soundtrack. Next week's looks a little more slice-of-lifey and it should be fun |
| -Nothing can stay unchanged. Even so, can you still keep on loving this place? -Be still my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. |
| Rin is flawless. |
| Lol, Kou the muscle freak and Rei the theory freak. |
 |
| I love my Makoto/Gou interactions. I like the nickname Nitori gave to Momo, Momo-kun hahah Nagisa likes Gou's killer food hahah. Well she is still my waifu. I liked the drama in this episode as well. It wasn't too heavy, nor too light. |
 |
| Alright episode, Sousoke had some development. |
 |
| Sousoke is less of an asshole now. I find it quite sweet how Rin gets all happy and dreams about the friendship magic of the relay. Last season he was basically pissed off 24/7 and seeing him feel passionate and inspired is a nice change. LOL AT THE PREVIEW BANTER. Big papa NG talking about how he goes down all prison on that punk Iwatobi-chan bread's ass. |
| Dat end card. Momotarou is so awesome! Lol, dat bento checking. Since none of them had a nutritional meal, Gou made protein-powdered lunch! (^_^) But even so, I got a bit hungry because of that. And since they don't like protein, Haru volunteered to make a recipe not made from mackerel! The bromance level between Rin and Sousuke is just off the charts! I really enjoy watching Rin and hopefully I'll enjoy Sousuke some more. Rin decides to let anyone with passion join the relay, but we all know who's going to join it. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| I'm in love with baby Rin <3 Gou and Rei were hilarious with the bento! |
| I really liked a lot this week episode. I'm slowly starting to appreciate Sosuke and I think that something good will eventually come out from his friendship with Rin. |
| DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA EYE SHAKINGGGG i still dont like very much sousuke |
| Ah, Rin and Sousuke as lil kids. Momo... you're a true fool... A bento check... I bet Haruka's is made up 100% of sardines or some fish lol. I wonder how Gou's 100-point bento is going to be :O Yeah... best bento ever... not! Rin vs Sousuke! Butterfly showdown! Swimming seriously and he barely beat Rin hmmm. |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| Momo the backstroke sea otter is really a nice addtion to the comedy club The focus shifting to Rin's swimming club is a good change Food balancing coming from Gou was terrible with those protein powders, I liked Rei's bento most and it sure would be tasty aside from the beautiful presentation The talk between Sousuke and Rin with the promise and relay reminded me of Kakashi and Obito Sousuke for missions and Rin for comarades Can't wait to see how these relay teams are going to evolve |
| Ugh. The melodrama. It hurts. I feel like every episode has the same redundant "we're all friends and friendship is power look at how much we are friends friendship yay power friendship" speech. Please. Just. Stop. |

| Now at this point, I absolutely have 0 interest in the Iwatobi Swim Club. So Sousuke is basically Rin no.2? |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| Judging the bento was hilarious! It looks like Rin might have gotten the friendship thing through more to Sausuke. |
 |
| Food :3 I don't kinda like Sousuke.. likes he wants to break everything between guys.. Gou is kawaiiiiiiii |
| After that one scene, I kind of ship Rei and Gou but then again, Mikoshiba is really adorable too :3 |
| I wonder if Sousuke will be like Rin was to me... I really didn't like Rin at first, but by the end of the first season, I ended up liking him a lot. |
 |
| That c h a r a c t e r d e v e l o p m e n t Rin. |
| I enjoyed this episode, especially the bento part. I already predicted Haruka's bento to have mackerel in it. Of course, it's Haruka. What else do you expect? I still don't like Sousuke that much though. |
 “Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
| Great episode. I love the way Rei is laughing. And it was kinda funny that Gou told Makoto is lacking veggies, even Haru doesn't have any. :D I wonder is Rei always such a perfectionist. :D It seems I've fallen for Rin x Sousuke. I'd love to see some yaoi between them! <3 Yeah I know that'll never happen, but I can always dream..... <3 |

| is it just me or momotarou really looks like the littel redhead from haikyuu? anyway, we seem to be getting a lot more of real swimming this season. \o/ |
  |
| 5:12 How can he hear him from underwater? |
| I like Hentai, you like real life. Instead of complaining about my tastes, be grateful you now don't have to compete against me. |
| OK, so I admit I'm still a little confused as to everybody's relationship when they were kids. I mean I know Rin was friends with both Sousuke and Haru and the others, but did the two groups ever meet? I guess it's just weird since Sousuke wasn't in the first season at all but now it's saying he was best friends with Rin. Ack, I guess it's not that important XD Nice to see Rin and Sousuke really want to do the relay though! Lot of talk about individual vs team events this time around. We are getting closer to the first tournament too, which should be good! :3 |
| More development for Sousuke. We know more about he and Rin's past together. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Pretty good episode overall. The bento segment was very entertaining, as expected of every scene featuring Gou-chan. I also really liked the last scene with Rin and Sousuke. That Rin's speech about being part of a team in a relay was quite enjoyable to hear. That end card tho xD Poor Nitori. |
| Gou-chan is so cute! Perfect manager I've seen in sports anime so far hahah not too flashy and not annoying.. I love how supporting she is ❤ |
 |
| Sousuke is showing his true form, and Rin likes that. Sousuke wants to satisfy Rin, so he's going to give the relay a try. |
 |
| Rin's evolving a lot which is great to see. Loved the bento box review. |
| Those bento ratings were hilarious. Poor Nagisa.. x3 I loved his pout faces, lol. He didn't seem too happy. Also, nice character development for Rin. |
