Beautiful animation, OP was a little more hardcore than i was expecting. Same problem as the others, they seemed way too girly, even if it was part of a joke.

The only saving grace is the hot bods and fan service. Man, you don't get bodies like that in anime often... Unless I'm watching the wrong type of anime.

Wasn't expecting that much fan service but I enjoyed every minute of it. Haha
It is so weird watching a show with female directed fan service.

Another hot girl. I'm gonna watch this show for the girls.

That short Beeburr's still a Beeburr after growing up.

I liked it. It was okay....the cast is likable enough to where I can see myself watching this all the way.

Is it worth the hype? Not really...other than Makoto and Nagisa's goofing off, if someone's looking for yaoi undertones in this, they won't find it here.


Was it worth the fanboy rage? YEP.

Quite a decent show it is. As long as it doesn't turn into shounen ai, it's watchable. Aaaand, there are some cute girls, so if there is some lovey-dovey action between MC and any other girl, i might even like it.

It's clear that the majority of you don't have any male friends. In real life, at least.

And the only homosexuality present in this show is the homosexuality that you're projecting onto the characters yourself.

In other words, the gay is coming from you. Not the show.

It's not hard for something to be better than that Haruhi-crap.


I hated Haruhi Suzumiya so much!
i hated her more when the endless 8 started, then after that, when she bully Mikuru Asahina as a toy, Haruhi is not God, she is like Satan to me.

I`m glad Haruhi will never have a 3rd season.

Free! 4ever! Haruhi eternal garbage.

None of my male friends talk like girls and come rushing in, in my own bathroom while I'm taking a bath/shower.

Yes, we do get naked if we need to, we also don't hug each other randomly, call each other girly names because we find it retarded and we don't touch each other randomly either.

This is only the first episode though, it already has hints, and that "projection" seriously does not work every time, stop using it as an argument to make everybody look like they're you.

Yes because heterosexual male friends cook for each other shirtless wearing an apron.
They also sneak with each other to the pool at night were they take their shirts in an over the top dramatic way while fiercely staring at each other.
Heterosexual male friends on Japan call each other with the ''-chan'' honorific.
There is definitely no implied shounen ai or undertones and swimmers need to be shirtless no matter where they are, that's not even fan-service because it's highly relevant to the plot and if it's not then it's probably a symbolism for something.

Change all of the main characters gender and literally nothing significant will change. They look sexually confused tbh maybe that the actual plot of the show.

So for you there is no difference in being homosexual and straight?

@Elitsu The problem right now is that Red_Keys believe it's not "feminine" or "kinda gay" and uses a worn out untrue statement to prove it.

The main is in denial, Makoto has no idea what's going on (probably not homosexual, we'll see), the blonde guy is totally homosexual and the rival has hints of being in denial too.

Because page 26 of people quoting me is full of ignorant losers who obviously don't know what the word "homosexual" means, and were obviously watching the show with the sole intent of bitching about it.

The fans and those ''ignorant losers'' you are talking about all agree that this is obviously targeted at females and that the characters acts ''girly'' and ''gay''. Either you are an excellent troll or you have never had a normal male friendship before.

Awesome first episode. I think the fan-service is hilarious :-D I was laughing like crazy when he was cooking in only his swim trunks and an apron and that skinny dipping scene... Love the animation, the characters, pretty much everything. How Haruka's eyes light up and he slightly blushes every time someone mentions a pool is just adorable. What's with the ridiculous dancing endings this season? I couldn't stop laughing... Thank you KyouAni!

Hmm, Not much to say but its watchable, Cant really say I might enjoy it unless there is a Female Role which pops up every now and then, like Momoi in Kuroko no Basket.

BTW: What's with the dam female names for males, that kinda pisses me off.

Just watched it. It was pretty neat, though I guess you could say all KyoAni anime are at the very least neat.

I couldn't stop laughing everytime any of the guys took off their shirt or pulled some service for the female audience. I laughed through the entire opening. Especially Haru wearing nothing but a apron and swimming trunks, that must have been gold tier fanserivce for the ladies.

Oh man, and all that dub step...

What is ''HoYay'' ? and by gay I mean implied shoune-ai, undertones, vibes etc.

"Homosexuality is romantic attraction, sexual attraction or sexual behavior between members of the same sex or gender."

There, tell me where it doesn't fit...

What are you trying to hide, Red_Keys? You already went out of the closet as a bisexual (kind of doubt you're bisexual, more like full fledged homo).
