----------------------------------------
I have to admit, the Ninomiya siblings are funny to watch in this series.
That blush though..I mean, it definitely has a chance to be a "love letter" except it wasn't for her. Gotta love how they adapted the character reactions this episode.

The segment with the PE testing is fun I guess, got some good laughs from it. The chemistry between Teko and Pikari is always so cute imo.

A nightmare called "Big sister", that kicked her little brother out of nowhere. And now she's in love, which can also means he get to know "another side" of the big sister.
And Teko get more motivation from Pikari at that PE test.

Yeah, I really love the siblings' and Teko and Pikari's relationship, but I like them more when they're all together. I could never pick who I like most outta Amanchu though since they're all pretty damn likable

The fitness tests were fun to watch especially with Teko's clumsiness at first

Great episode again, It was fun to see the thoughts of Ai, Makoto and Pikari.

Ai blushing was so cute. I share her feeling, Watching people working hard really gets my spirits up as well. :)

Pikari describing Teko as a dog was funny xD
So sweet of Pikari to help Teko through the athletic events, They have such a beautiful friendship.

Have to admit seeing big sis blush was just perfect, I don't know I think I have a thing where I like characters who act one way but at times can show us there no different from the rest and I like that (hopefully I explained it right but I feel like I didn't). ah the physical exam the one thing every anime girl dreads (ok not every girl but most of them). I like how teko is discovering something new about her in almost every episode. Also teko blushing is the best.

Glad to get some of the siblings into the story more, I enjoyed that a lot. The second part of the episode...the Yuri was STRONGLY implied lol.

I still can't get over the proportions of these females though...8 episodes in and I'm still fascinated by them.

Ane-san being shy was a funny sight.
Tho the letter wasn't for her in the end but it seems Otouto-kun had to suffer because of it, at least he thought he did.
Also the testes was funny to watch.

No diving this week, but that's fine, as we got more into the characters. I totally ship Teko and Pikari <3. Great episode.

A nice bit of character development in episode 8. It was interesting how Makoto and Pikari both realized something about Ai and Teko that they had not noticed before. It's also nice the way that both Pikari and Teko find something to admire in each other.

I just realized this has a lot less diving then I was lead to believe.
I wanted to see them diving in the ocean with fish and jellyfish swimming around them. That would look amazing.

Anyways, good episode. Some nice animation during the slow motion sequence and all the running.

So Ai supposedly gets a love letter by a baseball club guy. But then after getting embarrassed and stuff she discovers that it was for the girl who's shoe locker is right beneath hers. And Makoto thought that that baseball club guy is dead right after he gets killed himself lol.

Pikari is admiring the mature aura, and the model like beauty of Futaba, and then they show that very beautiful girl screwing up greatly during the physical examination lol. Pikari knows about Futaba's tendency to give up on stuff. They show her give up again when she got overtaken after initially taking the lead in the 50 meter race. And Pikari tries to solve things by making these difficult tasks interesting and easier. During the marathon they both take it easy in the beginning and then go all out towards the end which resulted in them jumping from dead last to 10 and 11. And then Futaba discovers something, she doesn't like losing. Futaba gave the marathon her all but she lost and she doesn't like that and wants another attempt. She found her resolve and now wants second tries to win. And Pikari is to thank here who told Futaba to take things easy and not give up. And it looks like the next episode will have some stuff about Futaba's past friends.

I know I come here every week and complain about the lack of actually diving in this show.
But surprisingly I thought this was the best episode of the season so far. I got a few good laughs, a few heartfelt moments and a pleasant acoustic soundtrack backing it all up.

This feels like what a J.C Staff SOL show should be.

We got some nice character development this episode. I like the twin's relationship, but not as much as Teko and Pikari's. I especially liked Pikari helping Teko pass the athletic tests.

"The story of the things yet unknown"
So Pikari is totally gay for Teko, right? The yuri flag was strong this episode.
I'm loving it.

Also, the part right at the beginning with Big Sis getting closer to Lil' Bro on the hallway, the music breaking down and suddenly the monkey face was hilariously haha
The same with Teko doing one-arm pushups, those could turn into great GIFs :D

This anime is so chill and "fell good", always keep me smiling and happy, I'm already sad that is getting so close to the end.

Since we never get to see them going up, I think they were merely seeing how long they can they stay in that posture with only one arm.

For those wanting to know how strong that hand grip really was (I suppose they are in the 16-17 years old range):

1st half was about the Ninomiya siblings and one of the most funniest I've seen on this show!
Ane-chan still very violent! but also very adorable when blushing! too bad the letter isn't for hers and the dude made a mistake on delivering it to the correct recipient.
Ane-chan is so passionate about exercising but to the extreme!
2nd half was about doing their own pace with Teko & Pikari.
4/5.

Really cute episode. The siblings relationship that those 2 have is adorable.

Teko was really cute this episode and I'm glad Pikari is there to support her as her bestfriend.

Ai is one of those characters that make me wish for rape and mindbreak doujins. I wanted the show to be about Hikari diving and bringing her friend into it. Not only is there barely anything of that, but I got a violent idiot who thinks she's hot shit instead, and an unbelievably wimpy guy to make matters worse.

I'm okay with amano chibi faces, however when they put them in the whole 24 min of the episode is kinda annoying, at least for me xD

I'm delighted to see once again, as the narrative scheme was "beating", making sure that it is not the teacher to take the lead to psychological reflections, but the same characters of which they recount the deeds. But also it is known that the good things of this episode, do not end there. Excellent management of many small aspects, things that make this anime, really fantastic.

The first part with sibling was simply great, I like how they narrated scenes of their counterparts.

The second part with running was okay I guess but it lacked any some interesting message.
