Awwww...Rin with his cute little fangs! What a cute kid! what the hell happened? O.O

Loved the episode! That ending.... O.O ...things are getting tense man. No dubstep though? Wha? (On a side note, Rin-chan-san, hahaha, Rei is such a dork. :P)

Did anybody else see some subtext in this episode? ;D or maybe I need to loosen my shipping goggles

Not to mention:
THAT ENGLISH. DAMN.

This flashback episode was just how I imagined it in the light novel. The best girl of Free appeared in this episode too, I almost cried. Aki Yazaki is the best~

Really liked how they went into depth on Rin this episode, he deserved it. I wonder what Rei is going to say.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Whats funny to me is that Rei had better pronunciation, and Rin used to live in Australia.

This whole episode I was thinking why doesn't Rei go to visit Rin?. I was so glad he did. I'm sure Rin isn't that bad of a guy. Hes just very competitive. Hopefully he will show Rei " a sight he's never seen before "

Here's to next week - Furious All-out!
Lets hope it lives up to the title.

So most of the episode is a flashback, pretty nice to see what Rin is up to for the relay race and changed when he is in middle school. Oh, Rei came to see Rin, that's surprising.

So we have a flashback episode. I think it's great. Finally get to resolve all the confusion going on with Rin and the rest of the guys...

Sensei was Sasabe's fap material. hahahah xD (But predictable really)

Makoto still hot as usual...

Rin used to be so cheerful, sort of like Nagisa. More like, exactly like him, he even points out about having girly names xD

Gou carrying the plate and bumping into the door was too adorable! Miho in those swimsuits, woahhh. So that was her secret! I have a new pairing, Sasabe x Miho xD

"Rin-chan-san, right?" XD XD XD

They cut out a lot of scenes from High Speed. I wanted to see them swimming in that relay, not just some pictures. And Nagisa's butterfly. They should've at least shown Aki too.

So it's like Rin and Rei are jealous of each other. Lol 'Rin-chan-san'.

I think I can understand how Rin feels though. He went to Australia to get better at swimming, he comes back and gets beaten by Haru, so of course he'd feel bad. His obsession to beat Haru probably only grew over time, and turned him into the jerk he is now.
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

LOL the pronunciation battle... "Perfect body." xD

I'm glad with the direction they've taken Rei in, as his feeling of being left out is natural; I was wondering if they were going to just forget about that but they didn't.

I saw an alternative title for the next episode was "All-Out Violent Passion!" so I'm hoping there's a fistfight. I am really really hoping there's a fistfight. I wouldn't put it beneath Rin; he has a tendency to physically lash out when he's pissed.
And everyone is saying that Rei doesn't stand a chance if it's a fistfight, and Rin probably would win because he's just a badass, but don't forget that Rei is still very athletic, tends to have perfect form, and would therefore stand a fair chance. And if the other Iwatobi boys intervene then that would be fantastic too.
If this anime ends without a single fistfight I'll be disappointed. :c


I don't know, Rin is also very athletic, he's older, and he's been an serious athlete longer. However, I doubt it will get to fist-fighting. If anything, they'll have a swim challenge, and unfortunately, in that I KNOW Rin will win.


Oh no, don't get me wrong, I'm agreeing that Rin would win in a fistfight. He's just so much more aggressive. xD I'm just saying that I feel like Rei could hold his own and not get completely destroyed as everyone else is saying.
If it's a swimming race I'm going to laugh at the notion that Rei would challenge him to one, because what would that accomplish? o.o I'm fairly certain that if it's not a fistfight, it's going to just be banter.

Finally, a character in this anime decides to directly deal with stuff. You go, Rei! Good for you! (he just keeps growing on me more and more with each episode he's p great)

Rin was such an adorable kid. Really sucks that he keeps messing himself up. (and Haru too. I always feel so bad for darling Haru)

Funny Rei is asking exactly the same questions I have been wanting to ask....
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Hmm, I am getting bored watching this show... their petty quarrel is meaningless, I really don't get it why Rin is so much concerned about losing that it made him quit swimming team. But what bothers me even more - everyone is such a crybaby, now even Rei is sulking for some reason.. this way I only wait for some crying scene. That's bad storywriting and it's totally destroying character personalities here.

KyoAni joke doing flashback with all-women seiyuu was good idea but somehow it felt very weird and out of place. I seems like they used all their ideas in previous episodes and now they are in empty pockets not knowing how to correctly end this show. In the end this could turn one huge letdown of this season.

The animation didn't seem as good this time... The flashbacks always make me remember how adorable Rin was back then~ But knowing that four of the five main characters have known each other for a long time while the fifth of them only became a part of the team later on always made me wonder how Rei would feel about everything, especially since he doesn't know Rin very well.

Oh, you are never the only one over the internetz and here I agree with Rin haters, he is annoying. I hope they will pull out a nice ending, not oh-so dramatic Rin/Haruka thing because come on... Also Rin-chan-san xD Rei sure quickly changed from mehnothingmuch-character to my favorite one. That's why here I am being sad since I'm sure they're gonna make an idiot out of him, focus on Rin or something along the lines. Still can't wait for next episode.
