The Iwatobi Family part was funny! And Rin was just standing there by the pool watching them, I wonder what he's thinking in his head.

And Haru's laugh is so precious that I couldn't help but squealed, his laugh is so adorable.
And Haru being a tsundere as usual xD

(eps.5, 6, 7)

Nagisa to the rescue and all of the swim pants are too ... suggestions are funny.

Just that? Only them doing opposite standing in the pool?

The time when main guy actually laugh, but actually was just when sleeping. Being ticklish actually helps.

Rei, be my husband. Or better yet - be mai waifu. Also Nagisa's face when Rei's on his phone, he likes where this is going.
Guessing from guys reaction, Haru's laugh must be able to cure cancer.

Well that was too cute. Left me smiling all the way through.

EDIT- Since I can't find episode 5 and 6 discussions, I might as well post it here. 5 was cute. Rei is the best as usual. Episode 6 I didn't quite get the reference as I haven't watched the movie it's based off of.

These were hilarious. The good kind of fanservice right here.

Sorry, I am confused about the counting here on MAL. There were 3 DVD specials, and here it says there are 7. Is that because each section was counted separately, and we're done after the third DVD special?
(I think calling the 10 second scene labelled FrFr 6 an episode is really streching it...)

yeah, apparently, considering SP1 has 2 sections (a.k.a episodes), while the last two specials each contains 3 sections FrFr 6 was soo ehhh you kyoani youu

anyway, OH SHOVING HUSBANDO'S ASS TO MY FACE I SEE, I can't help but to

Rei's choice of swimwear there was a tad questionable, lol, and episode 6 was the shortest thing I've ever seen. :P

In the final episode, we got to witness Haru laughing, but only because everyone tickled him to death, lol.

I knew it! I knew Nagisa was a queer boy! This short proves it, after all not a single strait teen boy would have those kind of swim wear, I mean, hello just look at the selection he had for Rei to pick one from 🤣 ... Isn't one of them a girls Bikini bottom? 🤣

Also no strait boy would ever be caught dead wearing such speedo (the One Rei ends up using). 

In "The Iwatobi Clan!" section we see a kind of swimming exercise that seems silly but in reality it's a very important one, in that section who "fails" at doing the exercise? Isn't it Rei by any chance? We all know that Rei's the weakest link/the one whos been swimming for the shortest time.

Finally I heard his laugh, now I can die in peace.
Me every time I hear the word "reparations": 🤣🤣🤣
