What happened to getting rid of Ami's facade??

I hope that's addressed more in coming episodes because it seems as though very little changed with her.

Asked myself the same thing.
By the way really funny pool episode, Taiga has this thing of being that sweet that in one sit equalizes all the bad stuff she says or do. At the beginning she even didn't tell anything to Minori in an altruism thought towards Ryuuji, that was a really nice act of her. Still ryuuji didn't get it but I don't comprehend why Taiga didn't tell him so aftewards. Maybe because she kinda enjoys see Ryuuji thinking that she got upset to him for her own emotions? Because maybe deep inside it's true that she's jealous.

Ami isn't all that bad, she's pretty double-faced, it's true, but at least that remains bundled to her vanity. But it's just anime that present it with a comedic note, in real life I hate those girls.

Well then, everything was good in this episode, funny and I liked everything about Ryuuji and Minori.

LOL they use some of the sound bites from Street Fighter. They used 2 at the end, one when minori appears is at the end of Akuma ultra and another when she is talking a bit after the fire starting sound is the start of Ryu's ultra.

Another good episode. Ryuuji making the fake breast thing was funny. Ami telling Taiga to get a kids swimsuit.
It was funny when Kitagawa Rio did it. Ami was just mean, not that this is a surprise.

I thought that Ami was going to change now (even if to being a bitch which is still better than being a fake). Oh well, I guess she is both now.

My thoughts exactly. She's making a liar out of herself, and that makes it even worse.
RazielZero said:
This was pretty much the best episode so far. And not due to fanservice, mind you.

All the cute Taiga moments :3
Taiga getting hit by the broom
Served her right. XD
getting embarrassed when Ryuuji realized her flatness
I could've done without the ACupAngst, tbh. She just doesn't need that sort of stereotype.
She should realize that Ryuuji is the one she needs and not plain-and-dull-Kitamura :/

This was a sad episode for Taiga but it's soooo much better when she isn't being a complete A-hole kicking people and calling people dogs. I hate that side of her, it's so annoying and repetitive. I want to see more sincerity and sensitivity.

Fanservice episode I guess. And Minorin is still being crazy.

The only really important thing this time way Taiga's appology. And dat boob grab ofc :D (there will be some "conversation" about this, mind my words :))
(and I don't doubt she will realize he did it for her sake but it will obviously take some time)

This is a comment from the Website I watched this on:

Ryuji: You're... flat-chested?!
Me: AND YOU'RE BLIND?!

Seriously I know Ryuji isn't really a pervert, but do you mean to tell me out of all the side view's you have seen of Taiga, you didn't notice she didn't have ANY curves?!

I read the manga before and I didn't really like it. Maybe shitty Polish official translation was one of the reasons too.
Anime version is a much better adaptation. I'm really enjoying it. Even Taiga is much more likeable.

  • So, Ami is still the same manipulative bitch she's always been... so much for character development. Well, I guess that kind of stuff takes time.

  • Teacher is triggered by her students being nervous about the pool.

  • Taiga is super scared because of... you know... her...size, and not the fact that she's not tall. Because that's why? Right? Or is it that she don't know how to swim? I don't know... I'm too stupid for this.

  • Ok... she doesn't know how to swim.. Yeah, makes sense. She can't ride a bike either.

  • Ami is showing her true colors only when she's with Ryuuji or Taiga alone... she's is still as fake as before.

  • I KNEW IT WAS FOR HER BOOB SIZE!!! I'm not that stupid after all! :D
    Oh, I mean.. poor Taiga =( I feel bad for her...


PD: Ami will continue to be a bitch I guess. That will be her character then.

Taiga's journey for being a flat-chested. Lmao. So nice of Ryuuji making a breast pad for her. Hahahaha.

"Fake Breast Special Force"
Kushieda always finds out, maaan. She's the greatest. Haha.

Taiga fangirling over Kitamuri complimenting her hair. Pffft.

It's not like Ryuuji touched Taiga's breast since he's holding a pad and it's not like Taiga has breast. So mean of me. Lmfaoooo.

even if he wouldn't have put it back & this would have been real breast & he would have had to grab her from there its still considered touching her breast

i mean it doesn't matter how much clothes & stuff is between hes hand & her breast its still considered touching her breast, just that in that situation it was necessary

Ooooooooooohhhhh, I found a good-un! Liking this anime lots!

Palm top is adorable and precious and a little bit bitchy, and so is main guy. I could've watched the entire series last night but I would've been up till 5am! So addictive!

The OP is great, the ED is addictive, the characters are somewhat real. Great anime pop series. I hope it turns into a legitimate romance, we'll see!

Wow, Ami. I think that she is the worst part of the show.

Soo, Taiga is flat and can't swim.

Also, she poking Ryuuji's mom's breasts was hilarious lol.

Guess swimsuit is Taiga's worst nightmare. I know the feeling and can't blame her for being unconfortable around everyone.

Takasu turned a perv when he tried fix Taiga's swimsuit inside the water XD I wonder if she beat the hell out of him in that embarrassing situation ^^;

Great episode with funny moments!

Feels like sometimes this show makes a development, and then just doesn't see it through the next episode. Ami's facade not going away is a good example. It kind of ruins some of the enjoyment.

That being said, this episode was really funny. The part where the boob plate slips out is just one of the most satisfying things to watch hahaha, so hilarious and greatly set-up that whole sequence is.

Also how did Ryu not realize Taiga was flat-chested???

It was nice seeing Ryuji taking some initiative. So far he's mostly just been doing things in reaction to what other people are doing. It is a bit weird that after 7 episodes they haven't really shown much about Ryuji's beliefs or interests.

On a side note, Teruhashi from Saiki K must have been inspired by Ami

The more anime I watch, the more I'm complexing about my breasts, when I didn't even question it before. Is that the price to pay for trying to entertain myself a bit ?
Also... Taiga. Please. STOP BEING SUCH A BRAT AND ACTUALLY SHOW SOME KIND OF GRATITUDE, RYUJI SAVED YOUR LIFE AND SOME OF YOUR DIGNITY !!!!! She annoys me. I'm trying not to be annoyed, but she annoys me.
And one thing : as much as I like Ami (who is my favorite character in this show), I spotted an incoherence... Why exactly did she say last episode that she would stop faking her personality if that's exactly what she is still doing now ? Why ???

Even though it's a realistic school life and girls' thought process , watching simple school comedy with barely any development to the plot is boring.
Ending is extremely obvious so the journey must be really interesting and full of depth , but it is so standart and uncreative ...

Basically typical pool episode but with extra drama.

Can main characters get out of their stereotypical behaviour for a moment and act more like human beings at least for a moment?It's like they are robots with certain programs and can't change at all.Still 0 development overall , Ami acted differently for just 1 episode and that's all.

You know , the reason I was a completionist was a simple fear of missing out on character's development or the moment plot becomes good , but with this series I am more and more likely inclined just to drop it... Unlike Yu Yu Hakusho that finally became smth after 20+ episodes , this anime gives me 0 hope.

I’m really, REALLY late to this discussion, but... I can watch anime whenever I want, okay?! Now, let me give my review for this episode.

Okay, to start it off, I laughed at Taiga getting hit by a broom. I’m not a big Kawashima fan, but... I guess she is pretty good looking. Still no excuse for bullying Taiga, a.k.a best girl.

There were so many cute moments between Taiga and Ryuji this episode! I hope they get together at the end!

Also, there was a lot of fanservice this episode. I’m too young! TwT

In the end, the episode was pretty cliche, but there were still funny moments, and cute scenes between Taiga and Ryuji. 4/5

Taiga covering for Ryuuji now that's new I thought Inko died there hope not that stupid-looking bird

Taiga poking Ryuuji's mother's boob like that was surprisingly weird, And she ate that soybean even though it's on the floor, Oh no expect a punch in the face for saying that Ryuuji, The fact that Taiga can't seem doesn't really bother her to go to the pool what does bother her is that she's flat-ches-

Wait so she really can't swim Ami didn't realize that but her pad just went off and Ryuuji had no choice but to oh... yeah he just did it lol the embarrassment that Taiga's face put on, So this rivalry goes into sports now I would love to see them compete in sports.

Ryuuji was so awesome, he treated Tiga so sweetly througout the episode, but one wonders why he didn't tack the falsies into her swim suit. Does he realize at this point that he's crazy about her?
