Lol I find it funny at how excited Ai got at that shop with the swimsuits.

I think this episode had slightly more service than the others. I like the swimsuits the girls picked. Teko's outfits looked adorable too. They also took some nice pictures so those will be precious memories.

As usual, I like the chemistry between Teko and Pikari.

The girls having a day of fun by themselves for ones.
And they had a very good time by the looks of things it was also nice to see them progress their relationship like that.
Aoki becoming better at swimming and talking her mind is also a nice development.
It was a nice episode ones again.

Oh no. Girls plus shopping and extra Sale. After that, it's playing at the beach time. Makoto, you just DO NOT KNOW what you're missing. LOL

Whoop Whoopity Whoop/10 episode.

I found Pikari's flattering Ai by calling her treasure so hilarious. xD
Shopping was fun to watch, The allure of sales, I'm a victim of Steam sales XD

Watching the girls have fun at the beach put a huge grin on my face, Such a pleasure to watch.
Even I was surprised when Pikari said she is often at a loss as well.
It was nice to see Teko say she really wanted to be Pikari's buddy with all her heart, The entire scene was so sweet and adorable.

Teko passed the test :D, That otter style. XD
So everyone going diving together soon. :D This is gonna be good.

On a side note, Today's life lessons:

okay, now we got a fan service in this episode. The backsounds in this anime are always calming, so I rarely can laugh at their joke, but make a great impact for the melancholy scene.

yeah fan service and here I thought this show wouldn't have any kind of fan service. Yet again this anime proves Teko and Pikari best yuri ship since I don't know when. overall this was just a nice episode to watch Teko got to pass her test, we got to see swimsuit action, and of course otter style.

Pikari. Teko. Get a room.
The tension's in the air, to the point when air got seriously thick and the hints are just too obvious.

Otter floating style is not only cute and effective, but makes your mind go totally blank for up to 10 minutes, apparently. I can't help but think she was just bouncng off the walls with an unchanged expression. What a great way to spend time.

Sidenote - what's with people being unhappy with 'fanservice'? Were they supposed to go swimming fully clothed, or am I missing something?

When people were saying fanservice I was afraid that there were a ton of t and a shots but all the beach and swimsuits were tasteful so I don't see the problem, it also seems like that's the reasons the poll results are a lot lower than the either episodes :/

Another healing episode of this healing anime calms me down after another tedious day at work.

I don't know if I consider the bathing suits as fan service per se, at least the girls were visiting the beach after buying new suits. It certainly wasn't gratuitous. Does the manga have scenes like this?
I voted high as usual since I like the message and the way it's presented.

So Ai doesn't know how to spend her Sunday and Futaba and Pikari come to her rescue by taking her to shop for logbooks and then mizugis. There wasn't any body flaunting despite them all having some pretty shapely bodies which is good.

And Futaba tells Pikari that she isn't good enough and sometimes thinks whether she's good enough for Pikari or not mainly because there are a lot of times when she doesn't know what to do. And Pikari tells her that when one starts something new, that's when one is at a loss. And one is only at a loss when one isn't satisfied with what is happening. Which means that not being sure what to do means that you're doing something new to change the current situation or enjoy the current situation. Sometimes it's pretty hard to follow what Pikari is saying.

And Futaba passes the basic diving test and can therefore dive in the sea.

So an episode that focuses mainly on Ai... the only character that I really hate in this show. At least we get some nice bikini shots of the 3 girls.

Ai is such a complete and total bitch towards her brother, but I have to admit that she looks really cute with her hair down. She should let her hair down in public from now on.

Amazing and well adapted episode as always!, See anime, this is how you handle a character with Anxiety(im looking at you Kuma Miko)
Also, it saddens me that people are saying that this episode had fanservice when it did not, just becaus ethey are in swimsuits, why does that have to mean its fanservice?

Good episode. I like when the pace picks up a little bit. The characters' faces are pretty weird looking even before they make their default weird expressions so the swimsuits didn't really strike me as fanservicey other than Ai's, or if that's what they were going for, it didn't work in this case.

Pikari is wonderful. She's not quite an irrepressible ball of fun character (that would be too hyperactive for this show) but she is a joy to watch.

Swimsuits don't really feel like fan service when the show is about scuba diving and it was done quite tastefully. At least Ai is a little less annoying without her brother around to bully.

Anyone enlighten me, Im not a girl so no idea just curiosity
I know she wants to cover up her chest but the stripe swimsuit seems dont fit her so she gets the black one which covers her chest perfectly

now they wore their swimsuits, gets the idea having two tops swimsuit

Why wear both instead using the black swimsuit ? For Fashion ?

Man I love this anime, such a feel good show to go with the dark and serious animes that I'm watching alongside this. Also feels really relaxing to watch after crazy weeks and stuff, loving it!
Gotta have that OST after they release it, it is so beautiful.

Well, I also am not a girl, but she said that neither of those fits alone, so she uses both to make sure there isn't anything slipping off or something like that. Not sure how much common that is, but maybe some girl will confirm or deny it here later.

When compared to Aria, there's a slight amount of fanservice in Amanchu. But it does so without being exploitative and gratuitous. I certainly don't mind that; the girls are cute and Ai has a nice body.

I feel you, Ai. Where to begin from, I'm always struggling with that. In the end, the day ends and I'm like wut. But ye... I do get somewhat productive every now and then. But ye, it's not satisfying.
Also man, does she look beautiful with her hair down. Please keep it that way forever <3

They all have nice bodies for sure! Esp. Ai
Yea good job, Teko. Get dem nice bodies saved in your phone.

The grandma is such a mature character and always offer good advice. Love her role.

Yeaa, exactly.
Man, Hikari. You brighten up the world.
So being lost means you have a good chance to become satisfied with yourself and have fun. What a nice way of looking things.
I really wanna root for Teko, you can do it!! She did it! I'm so proud...

This anime is insanely positive. I love it a lot.

The episode keeps in terms of narrative, even those features that makes it a pleasure watching this anime series. The psychological component is not lacking, but there is still a small step in introspection of the characters, and the relationship between Pikari and Teko. Excellent designs and animations, the OST is catchy as usual.

That hazukashi serifu by Pikari and Teko just made me and Ane-chan-senpai cringe as shit, good for Makoto though he survived for another day.

Anyway just a random shittalk but I like how they focused on life choices because seriously though best decision making skills comes from gut instinct ala let's-a-go by Pikari, if you encounter some mistakes you took in whatever thing it is, you get to learn more from it and have a proper way to solve and counter those kinds of shit in the future which leads to a proper decision making = success.

Some Girl Time in this episode but without any of the bs. Looking forward to seeing all of them dive now that Teko passed the test.

Loved the outift Pikari wore in this episode by the way. It's probably my favourite one so far.

TEKOOO ;0; Man, that was some hazukashii serifu there but I love their budding romance friendship. Teko is an excellent portrayal of someone who deals with anxiety and overthinking and I just love seeing her overcome it. Teko is me.

As I thought, they are really saving the actual diving for the last episode, and I'm hoping that means we'll get a second season and maybe third because there's still so much material they haven't animated from the manga. Certain scenes and characters I'd love to see animated!!

This episode was literally destroyed but all those superdeformed faces inserted in the most unfit moments and by all those cheesy phrases that felt way to bland and naive.
Aria had Aika who stopped those phrases in their wake but Amanchu doesn't have such character and it feels pretty cringeworthy sometimes.

So I'm still happy Teko managed to pass the test but including it into this episode felt more like an afterthought. And carefully built-up atmosphere was always being destroyed by those annoying chibi characters.
