Sensei's going to wear swimsuit in the final episode, calling it now.
I love how this show doesn't take itself seriously.

I didn't expect for this anime to be this funny! n_n
It's also a plus that they didn't make Gou/Kou annoying like some usual [minor] female characters.
Another plus is that she actually contributes to the story :>

Gou is pretty much the anime-fication of all the fan girls. Hahaha.

It seems Haru gave leeway to Rin, since he kinda lost his mind in the water... so Rin isnt satisfied with the win... and damn, their bond is deeper than I thought.

Wow, they toned down on the manservice a bit and focused more on the story.
ED still as gay as ever though. Won't drop it for now, a much better episode than the first.


ED is actually pretty clever if you look at the symbolism. Like at the clubbing scene, their dance moves refer to their swimming styles and they're all inside the pool (which is why the background people wear masks, which are connected to oxygen tanks by straps). And how there was no water in the desert.


Wow, I actually never thought of it that way. The only thing I thought was, Haru was thirsty but he could never get the water, and no one had water except Rin and he was flaunting but at the end he decided to share.

I have a strong urge to rewatch this episode, but I have other work to do. Like get studying on my damned chemistry test hahahhahah nope.

I decided to give this show another few episodes. I liked this more then the first episode, still not sure if I'll continue it or not. The characters seemed a bit more human and likeable this time.

I think the teacher is my favorite character.

Much better episode than the first, it was actually about something this time. Haru's angst annoys me, but whatever. It's going to be a long time before his habit of stripping whenever he sees water is anything but hilarious, so I'm willing to put up with it.

Probably not. They got their pool and club already (well except Rei hasnt shown up yet). And their old swimming club DID get torn down.. so it won't go in that direction. If they were going to restore their old one, they would have to remake the building lol and that'll be quite costly.

Thi show is getting better and better. Still waiting for Rei in the next episode.

Also, is everyone else getting that Haru is autistic? Not like the 4chan "duur ur autistic" kind but the real mental disorder. He has a few symptoms like an obsession with water and poor communication of his emotions (as well as a lack of social awareness like when he tried to go into the aquarium).

I think this is gonna be 2deep4us....get it...because they're swimmiers...

So the reason Rin is still mad is because Haru lost on purpose?

Oh, Kou/Gou. Love her.

I believe it's because he doesn't take the competition serious, and feels Haru isn't taking full advantage of his talent. Also, Rin only won on his kicking ability while Haru was the better swimmer.

To me Haruka looks a hell of alot like Tatsuya Shiba i hope i can stop seeing that if Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei ever gets an anime.

Well it was a better episode than last week and more Gou makes everything better.

The swimming at the beginning was intense af.

I didn't really expect Gou to join the club, and they pushed the glasses guy's intro in the next one.

This is surprisingly getting good, excellent animation, and progressing plot. Reminds me alot of Kuroko no Basket. I expected this show to be like k-on where they don't focus on the plot at all.

ROFL I'd love to see some fanart of Haru trying to swim in awkward places...
In an aquarium where the fish are all staring at him
In a local fountain
In a water holding tank
Be creative.

Great episode. I couldn't stop giggling the whole time. Gou grew on me a lot, sensei doesn't annoy me quite as much, and what the hell is wrong with Rins teeth?

Ignoring the gay parts, it's pretty decent. Kou's ultra kawaii, and I'll be watching this anime only for her!

I wish it was more like Prince of Tennis though, now THAT is what I call a great sport anime!

I don't find her character interesting.

I'd rather see more of the teacher than her but looking at spoilers it seems Gou won't have a lot of screentime so I'm ok with this ep.

I feel like they're trying to differentiate Haruka and Rin with their teeth like Haruka has straight teeth like a dolphin (do dolphin even have teeth) and he's constantly compared to one and Rin is like a shark and he's very aggressive idk am I even making sense?

Weelll its second episode only and you already judge her :'). Isn`t it because she will be more around those pretty boys there :')? Sensei is also good, but cheerfull Gou is representation of fandom.
