| Adorable kids <3 So happy Hayato learned to love to swim. Kisumi knows Haru and others Sosuke and his shoulder. Which would explain why he didn't do his best during the competition. Makoto future is to teach kids to swim. <3333 |
| kisumi and his brother were such cuties. i definitely wasn't expecting a filler episode out of such a short series though. ha ha i honestly thought the relay would be this episode. ): |
 |
| This didn't feel like filler to me, honestly there's not a whole lot of plot in this besides "a lot of guys swimming...for various reasons" and this was about makoto discovering he likes teaching others to swim, which is relevant to the whole "what to do after graduation" plot thingy..... |
| Aww not a Makoto episode... >.< I'm sorry to everyone who likes him but he's the dullest character. He is TOO perfect so it makes him boring. I like characters with struggles and development. p.s. Makoto, please stop your "kehe!" that's just too girly.. |

| Makoto ♥ And those kids, it was so cute when he teached them how to swim ! He should be teacher as his job ! And Kisumi...Oh gosh, I think I found new character to love ! ~ Adorable looking, adorable voice, adorable with his brother...*.* He's adorable at all ! ~ <3 Looks like Sousuke won't swim next time...o.O Still don't care about him... |

| Teaching Hayato to get over his fear of swimming. How sweet. |
 |
| Wow, I was smiling ear to ear this episode. I got to see my two favorite characters of the season shine. Makoto is such a great guy, he has a big heart and would probably make an awesome teacher/swimming instructor (and father to boot!). Also seeing more of Sousuke is a bonus, looking out for Ai-chan and what not. I really hope that injury doesn't resurface on him in the regionals. |
 |
| Makoto is an angel. |
| Aaaah! so that "kiss me" preview was about this guy, Kisumi! haahahha I love it. Yes, even if it is a filler. I really love it. It was so damn cute, and Makoto is my favorite character, so it's hard to don't like it! Makoto!! You would be an awesome father! Pleeease be real and marry me! (ok, time to stop dreaming) QvQ That jealous Haru! haha I miss Rin Q_Q |
| Makoto's sooo sweet and such a great guy <3 And Haru's attitude towards Kisumi was hilarious~! |
| Why must after every time a characters speaks, utters one single fucking line, all the other characters respond by quietly repeating the name of the character who just spoke? They especially do it after every time Haru opens his mouth, as if they are surprised that he is capable of coherent thought and speech. "Haru-chan..." "Haruka-sempai..." "Makoto..." "Kisumi..." "Haru..." Is this just how Japanese people speak? It's infuriating. It always seems to be a thing in anime, but this show really kicks it up a notch. Holy shit. Other than that, this episode was really cute. That kid was adorable, and Makoto's such a sweetheart. |
 |
| I thought Kisumi was gonna be annoying but he turned out alright for me. Hopefully he's not two-faced or anything. |
| My Goddess! I want to marry Makoto and have 20 of his babies!!! Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| Oh shit Sousuke. I hope he's fine. Lol @ this show, keep bringing back "friend from the past". This episode felt filler-ish once again.. |

| Dude, this old friend crap is getting on my nerves... We're on episode 8 and they still introducing new characters??? Geez. Still. It was a really adorable episode, even though the only important thing in it was the last minute. Haru-chan jealousy is really funny... He doesn't even know he's jealous. That Hayato kid is so cute. The scene when he stops fearing the water is really beautiful. And I didn't notice Makoto's siblings were twins til this episode lol |
 |
| Awww and Makoto teaching little kids to swim and Sousuke teaching Ai-chan to swim better too! Sousuke had a shoulder injury so was that what he was doing last episode? going to the hospital for a check up or something about it? Awww, Kisumi was so cute! I loved him! So hot <3 Rin and Haru and Makoto and Kisumi <3 Oh ... kiss me ... Kisumi lol. |

| Haaa Kisumiiiiii~~ I really like the flashback of him, Makoto & Haru. Too precious hahahaha! <3 |
| I don't like kids, but something about seeing Makoto finding his passion with teaching kid is precious. I really liked this episode, even if it was a "filler." |
 |
| you don't know true pain until you love a character who's not a series regular kisumi !❤ |
| ♥ (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ ♥ |
| It looks like Makoto found what he wants to do after school. I don't even remember who Kisumi is. It sucks to have a bad memory :( |
| Makoto was so cute as a coach <3 I want to know what Haru will decide about his future (I don't think he will choose to swim professionally as well) |
| Oh my... Hayato is so adorable! Makoto should be a coach. He's kind and patient, I think it suits him perfectly. So Sousuke has a shoulder injury? He shouldn't have kept that a secret. It will just make things worse. A filler episode, eh? While I think it's kind of a filler episode, it still had some important parts. Sousuke's shoulder injury, for example. I wish they shortened the other parts, though. |
 “Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
| i still don't care much about makoto. he's too kind, too dependable, too perfect, makes him a bit boring. i'm not really a fan of the perfect boyfriend material type. maybe that's why i didn't enjoy this episode that much. but it was a nice one. it was cute to see him finding himself a little bit in teaching the kids. i think makoto has it a bit hard, loving to swim and wanting to swim forever with his friends but graduation is coming and he knows that he won't be able to do that forever. it makes one lost to love something and be good at it but not good enough to make a living out of it. idk, first time i kinda related to him. [and kisumi is hot. <3 but my heart is still nagisa's.] |
  |
| I love Makoto! I bet he'll be a great father one day. :D <3 I hope there isn't anything serious with Sousuke coming up. I'll be so mad if he'll think about not swimming anymore. I wonder is Haru jealous over Makoto and his friend. It seemed like that guy tried to own Makoto when they were younger, and now Haru feels threatened. But that would be very stupid, since there's such a scenario between Rin and Haru too. I mean from the way Sousuke is looking at it. |

| Oh this was a sweet episode, I think Makoto would actually be a pretty good coach :) Maybe this has inspired him?! :O So the new guy's name is Kisumi, no wonder they were saying "Kiss me" in the preview lol XD It seems as though Haru doesn't like him much ... uh oh lol :P Hm, so is Sousuke hiding the fact that he hurt his shoulder?! That would explain why he "lost momentum" and isn't swimming in as many races. Looks like he confronts Haru next episode about why he swims too ... dun dun dun! I think things are starting to get serious :P |
| Makoto & kids scenes are so cute lol. So, Sousuke really has an injury. |

| If only traumas were that easy to overcome... Nice episode overall. The revelation of Sousuke being injured seems interesting and Makoto + Kids is such an adorable combination, a perfect 10/10 combo. |
| Makoto really enjoyed being a swimming instructor. If he doesn't make it to the big time, who knows, maybe that's his future. Also, we just learned from Kisumi that Sousuke had a shoulder injury. Is it really fully healed? |
 |
| the kids name is hayato?!!? 0-0 https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/029/580/Hayato1080.jpg |
 |
| Makoto is now one of my faves...this was such sweet interaction with Hayato. Precious! |
| Those kids were so adorable. ^_^ Makoto is such a sweet and nice guy. Sousuke has a shoulder injury? Oh crap. |
