| 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 |

Daviljoe193 said: 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? yea even in the original it was just ok it should've been something they could've adapted way later. well at least Ran is coming next ep |
| 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. |

dbaranyi said: Too an extent, this remake is almost too reverent. It needs some of Mamoru Oshii's madness to perk it up. I know my opinion is an unpopular one, but I feel the early episodes of the 80s anime struck the best balance. Episode 13 was a beach episode far funnier than today's. |

BattousaiKen said: I guess it was adapted as a breather episode. I like episodes where the main cast takes a break from the usual shenanigans and just go on a trip together. 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 |
Did anyone notice that the beach hotel that the boy with the box walked by happens to be named Hotel Ikkoku (ホテル一刻)? :D |
 |
| Top to bottom a great episode and im not talking about the great swimsuit designs. The gag with seeing the men as vegetables was great. The scene where they were peeping on the nurse was romantic and hilarious. I knew poochi was not going to be a dog but I did not expect the old man to be in the box. The ending with the kid taking in the water yokai was sweet and really brought this episode together. Every week this show does a great job feeling fresh and surprising. |
| No fricking way, they actually did it. Not just Pool but also Beach in the same episode. |
 |
| meh... Remembered the original episode too much so i didn't care for this one. The next looks like more interesting. |
 |
| Well...at least it was a happy ending I guess. |
 |
 Swimsuit service......Ya know I would have prefer if Lum would don a bikini ( a different kind that is} rather than a one piece Mallot. |

| One-piece swimsuits seriously need to make a comeback in anime. They are so underappreciated. |
| I really like old action focused anime, but when it comes to rom com this show feels so strange and outdated. The cast is there to create a funny remake, but so far Urusei Yatsura (2022) has been incredible lackluster, it has no impact so far. I won't say anything bad about Lum, she is really nice and all. This one has 20+ episodes, I have hopes that it will get more interesting within the next ten episodes. |

| Damn I hate Lamu's swimsuits. The yokai is cute tho. |
| My favorite episode by far lol. I loved that blue axolotl, I just wanted him to stay. |
| He really accepted being Pochi there in the end. LOL |
