----------------------------------------
Azusa is just so sexy in this series :3

Haha, I love the rivalries between the guys in this episode. So over dramatic yet funny.
I have to admit, Nanaka can be a bit scary during certain moments. She's got one hot body too.

Loved the fun atmosphere of the episode with Chisa and the others going underwater for diving. She really enjoys the ocean down there.

I call BS on the last part, in the manga she never shouted "DIE 20000x" and throw Iori off the shore, she just twitched and ignored him.


Also they skipped a funny part where Aina was shy to enter the ocean in a swimsuit so she decided to do her makeup again a.k.a cakey form.


They also made Chisa too serious here, she was adorable in the manga when she was trying to show Iori the fish underwater, and they also didnt show Chisa's greatest asset

This german exam reminds me of the two german guys from the manga.
Also I am really looking forward to the tennis matches that was one of my favorite chapters in the manga.

Their cheating methods though were pretty hillarious. Chisa's score though was pretty high. Aina's reactions at seeing what the club really is like though was funny. Guess the hand signals came in handy when facing the threat of Nanaka. Her expressions sure can be pretty scary especially with regards to her love for Chisa. Looks like Iori and Aina had fun with their first experience of diving. Iori sure ended up spoiling it in the end though.

This anime is truly fantastic. Every single week I have a smile on my face throughout the entire episode. Easily one of my favorite anime's of the year, even up there with the big animes.

Hilarious episode as always.

The German exam was pure gold, RIP to those guys who got wrecked even before the exam started. The guy who's cheat sheet flew out as he pulled on his jacket was even more hilarious.

Cakey finally getting a taste of what the diving club is truly like. :3

Nanaka getting off on Chisa's half drunk water glass is so adorable. XD
Oh Nanaka, will you teach me hand signs too? <3

Iori is basically digging is own grave but it looks like Nanaka is fine with both of them going out. :P

I think they shouldn't have skipped out on those diving scenes as well, as pointed out by the earlier post but the episode was still really good.

Looks like this is going to become a tennis anime next episode lol.

It was nice to see Iori and Chisa have a good time together when they were underwater, too bad Iori ruined the moment after they resurfaced.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

I absolutely loved this episode. Azusa is fucking the best thing to ever happen. Everytime I see her just chillin with the guys like its no big deal just kills me XD.

And the diving portion with Chisa and Iori was quite lovely, especially that Iori's golden line at the end.

That German exam was golden!

Aina was in for a shocker that the diving club is not what she was expecting it to be... and Azusa who just casually joins in like it's nothing.

Finally we get some proper diving, I have been waiting for this.

Iori's comment about Chisa's ass, was just amazing! And well, He ain't wrong! All these girls are very sexy!

Extra chapters were adapted and they flowed in really well in this episode. Overall directing has improved for the series in general. Though it can't beat the manga, hopefully the anime turns out to be a decent enough substitution for the manga.

Man, after going back and rereading the manga, I gotta agree with the people that say it's way better. Before all I thought was that the animation was subpar, but now after reading it again, I not only like the manga more than I did the first time, but I can also see that the anime falls short in pretty much every aspect, not just the animation. I'm still going to watch it because going from b&w to color and having a pretty solid lineup of VAs makes it decent at least.

Ah the cheating part of the episode made me laugh, they all suck at cheating.

You can never take the fan service in this series seriously, usually it's meant to be sexy and shit but in this case it's just shit but really funny shit.

Aina is going to get used to them stripping eventually. She doesn't have huge jugs like the other girls but she's so sweet. She's next best girl after Iori in his school girl uniform.

Also, Iori saying Chisa has a nice ass LOL

Uh, does an Engineering major have German in its curriculum? I have no idea about it, I'm majoring Eng Lit

Improvement, last week was a bit of a mess and the comedy feels back on track. Not on EP1 levels though

Some very incesty scenes...between Marei and Yuuma of course

I started today watching Grand Blue, and it was impossible for me to stop watching all six episodes in a row, I'm really enjoying this show, it's really, really fun to watch, I laughed a lot in each episode!

About this episode, the beginning was so much like the real life they were trying to copy, and it was impossible to get a positive note!

Aina feeling like Iori at first, ahahah Nanaka and it's love for her cute sister really makes me laugh, and she can be scary defending her sister ahah

The diving scene was really cool, so calm and quiet, she is very cute when she is diving, she lives to dive, she loves it a lot!

Iori did well in diving, but he really screwed up at the end!

Amazing how they made an anime about diving so interesting, and that the fact that in 6 episodes we have only seen the dive 2 times xD While drinking alcohol is 6 episodes, best anime ever? hahah

Chise was really cute in this episode but that end xD But Iori couldn't leave this episode end in such a pacific way haha
So the promise that Iori made to Azusa is no longer valid? Because he never tried to act like he is her boyfriend, so i think it's over.

I watched almost all 6 episodes straight and i am so glad i did it, this anime is so funny and so good! When i started i simply couldn't stop xD

A bit better than the last episode. I like the german exam and the diving scene. Aina joins the club. Azusa is the best character in the show!!

So, does anyone know if the japanese handle their other foreign languages like they do their english, which means learning a lot to show off that they learned a lot without actually being able to speak it? Or is that just excusive to english?

Also, why isn't there a hilarity meter for comedy shows here? Because some of the sketches are quite prisitne here.

Out!! Safe!! Yeah Yeah Yeah!!

I really like this anime plain simple yet hilarious. I like it when they treat being naked is normal already.


I personally like Kohei and the fact that I checked whos the voice behind it I can't imagine how he could make that high pitch "Kitaharaaaaaa"


The fact that were like "Wait this anime is about diving?" the 2 machos are admitting it tho.


I dont know this manga but will we ever get another Oolong Tea part? I like that part also he put 8 parts vodka and 1 part whiskey and gave it like its no big deal then light it up xD

It was a good episode but still not as good as the manga it's still missing that level of comedy because i didn't even laugh at much as i've laughed while reading that ch and that last scene they fucking changed it. Hope they will also adapt that side ch with sensei because it's more hilarious than it.

I do like how, in this series, Iori doesn't stay static as a character, which means they have an opportunity to see this craziness through (yes, it's not PC to say it) a woman's eyes.
