| Lol, we finally got the swimsuit episode. Not a beach episode but they still have the cast in swimsuits. Shinobu's strength is hilarious in this though. Looks like it's Sakura that made the most presence in her swimsuit and even Ataru to nosebleed. Watcih this episode much food this episode made me hungry. Too bad we didn't get to see that kiss scene. |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| The (in)famous swimsuit trope that started the beach episode trope, and every boy's turned into a vegetable of some kind. Everyone is here in Shutaro's hotel, and Ataru is Ataru being punched by Sakura up in the air...to drown and see some demon residing at the bottom of the pool having tea, having no place to go. Only except...it found Ataru's place as its new home. Of course, it can't hole in Ataru's place forever, and the next destination is the beach. And man, Sakura is such a foodie trying to eat as much food as possible in big servings, and also being served by Tsubame too on a date...while everyone's watching their deed lols, only to be interrupted by the pool demon. This boy who's trying to drop his pet Pochi, while Ataru's trying to do the same for the pool demon, seems like in the spirit of exchange, getting Cherry instead wasn't the best, but at least by coincidence, it has found a new home. Count his stars lucky. |

| Ngl I didn't expect this story to be adapted back when the Remake was announced. But now I think I'm glad it was though cause this episode was great. We finally got Tsubame's introduction, voiced by Takahiro Sakurai. He didn't really get much focus and was more like an extra here. He was more or less an extra side character in the original anime too but hopefully, he doesn't get shafted too much this time. I liked the small additions this episode made. It added some content from other chapters too I think. The underwater speech bubble joke was great. Mendo's VA Mamoru Miyano sounds like his OG VA Akira Kamiya now. With that all outta the way, the next episode will have RAN's debut! Let's gooooo. Ran was easily the character I anticipated the most in this Remake. And with her being voiced by Kana Hanazawa this is going to be a treat for sure. |
Seems like Lum will join Ataru's school as a student in the next episode too. I don't remember the original episode where Lum joined the Tomobiki High School but I think I recall it being a big deal. I'm just surprised Ran will debut earlier than Rei, who debuted in the 3rd episode of the original anime. I guess he'll debut in episode 9?

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| An unintentional visitor looks like. But can't go a rom com without a beach ep thats for sure. It will be a offence to the characters. Still what a curious creature that they found in the hotel pool. Sakura really has quite the appetite for dessert not to mention for normal meals well. The monster really was quite bold just surfacing and treating everyone around him in stride. But the underwater scenes though really was fun in a unique way. Funny that his new home ended up being Ataru's bathroom. Its funny that they all ended up being the audience for Sakura's date. In the end they ended up with the worst with the worst end of the swap huh. Curious whether will we see the demon again though because he's quite the funny one. |

| Some funny moments, but unfortunately, just like the equivalent episode of the 1981 adaptation, it was just okay. Of all the stuff they could have adapted, why this? |
Opinions are opinions, and differing opinions can co-exist. 🙂 But I don't do debate, life's too short to spend time debating people.    |
| Take all the time in the world when you about to kiss because.. why not. |
 |
| Wait was that a one piece reference lmao? That shot of the kid with the straw hat.. |
 |
| Some great new outfits for Lum this episode |
| Ah yes, the mandatory beach/pool episode in which we get to see Lum and Sakura in their stunning swimsuits. It seems we got a lost sea creature that was hiding in the pool until he got discovered, then he was hanging at Ataru's place in the bathtub, and now he got picked up by a boy who calls him Pochi. Sakura was seen dating her boyfriend at the beach and he wasn't intimidated by her gluttonous behavior. The two of them were about to share a kiss and everyone was watching until the sea monster interrupted them. How the hell did Cherry ended up in the box that the boy was carrying? |
 |
| The original VA for the sea demon had a much more irritating voice - real conman/soap story stuff. The new VA was almost too nice. The timing of the episode seemed a little off - but that's probably because the background music in the old version emphasized the set up of the jokes. This version is trying too hard to copy the manga. I suspect what we are seeing here in the remake is the influence of today's Rumiko Takahashi - legend, powerhouse, etc - compared to Rumiko Takahashi during the original TV anime, who was a successful but young artist who didn't have as much clout with the production. Too an extent, this remake is almost too reverent. It needs some of Mamoru Oshii's madness to perk it up. |
| Lol that sea yokai, but the kid made a good exchange in the end that was funny I really expected something tragic but the old man was in the cardboard box xD |
 |
| I was sure that pochi wasn't a dog but I wasn't expecting Cherry to pop up. Also Sakura sensei can sure eat. |
 |
| IT is rather amusing Lum actually shows less skin on summer and with her swimsuit, she looked super cute with all those outfits. |
| The power of friendship prevails. Just a nice time at the beach with the homies.  |
 |
| The true Pochi was the friends we made along the way |

| It’s nice to see this entire episode got adapted, it was one I loved from the OG. Nice to see the blue goblin guy is just as cute in the remake, I like the VA for him too, it’s also nice seeing Lum, Shinobu and Sakura in swimsuits in both halves of the episode, definitely a great pool/beach episode power combo. It was also funny to see a reference to that one episode in the original with Sakura eating a ton of food in order to eat for free, I remember that was a hilarious one but it was nice to see a nod to it, would have been funny if they included the restaurant going bankrupt too lol. And I also loved the recreation of the Pochi twist, i knew it was coming this time but it was still a hilarious reveal and makes the fact the kid took home the blue goblin guy a lot more wholesome, that was one of the reasons I loved the original episode and it was done wonderfully here. I feel like I keep repeating myself when it comes to episodes I’ve already seen in the OG but I can’t think of better ways to word it lol. |
| Sakura sure can eat a lot! My theory is that being a priestess just takes that energy out of you. Also what the heck was that kid doing taking care of an old man for at least a month?? He sure is caring. |
 |
| Shota kun was keeping a madao as a pet... Lmao |
 |
| Overall fun episode with all the cute swinsuits showoff. I think it's pretty good way to introduce Tsubame being Sakura's fiance already. There is a glimpse of Sakura's black hole belly there. I like the words play from using the bubbles to communicate with the pool goblin. It's nice to see that Ataru already comfortable with Lum too. I want more of these quintet to do beach episodes, they are good. Next week the real goblin, Ran will arrive. Kinda interested to see Kana Hanazawa's take on Ran since she has two distinct voice range. |

The OG anime had a lot of these cozy episodes and I hope this one will have some too.Daviljoe193 said: Some funny moments, but unfortunately, just like the equivalent episode of the 1981 adaptation, it was just okay.

The original VA for the sea demon had a much more irritating voice - real conman/soap story stuff. The new VA was almost too nice. Other notable voice roles in this episode include the couple who were watching Sakura chow down being voiced by Inuyasha and Kagome's VA and the little kid being voiced by Kohaku's VA I think. |
| This is what I love from Takahashi, when many characters from the cast gather together because of whatever crazy reason. And the swimming pool/beach setting is a classic. |

| Lum's one-piece covers more than her usual clothes Swimsuit Sakura was the highlight of this beach ep |
 |
| When Ataru opened the box and appeared "Pochi" was hilarious!!!! kekeke |
| I felt bad for Pochi at the start of the ep, glad he found a home :D |
| I heard Inuyasha and Kagome's seiyuus from the couple watching Sakura and her boyfriend chow down. What if Pochi wasn't the monk Cherry but the squid he was eating inside the box? |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| They turned the gloomy goblin into ashes of meh. I didnt like the old one episode of this, but the remake was made even worse. I dont have any empathy for the new goblin compared to the depressed old one. rip jariten |
| Coincidentally, I just re-watched the 80's version of this episode right before this new one aired. I actually found the old Goblin's voice endearing, like a Japanese Lorenzo Music or something. (The Goblin's design was cute too. I need a plush of him.) Anyway, onto the new one... It was alright, there wasn't much to say up until the finale with the kid and "Pochi". The build-up to the punchline was great, David Productions really made that one land. Overall, not bad, but we're all excited to see Ran debut in the next episode. |
| Who would have thought that Pochi was the old guy lmao On the other hand, this new "Pochi" is definitely much better for the kid haha |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| I was feeling bad for Pochi. Until he interrupted that kiss. That there is a sin. |

| decent episode. it was focused on that weird little water demon. a completely random episode though. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
