THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The first episode pre-aired today.

Really glad to see Peko and the others return. It wasted no time reintroducing the main characters and their presence. The art style is still how I remember and the comedy is still there thanks to Pikari and her energetic personality. Some of the scenery quality really gave me a nice visual impression of what's to come too.

I'm definitely looking forward to more especially with how they will develop Pikari and Peko's relationship this season along with ideas of diving. Really glad to see the Ninomiya siblings too.

Ah, the bliss. So happy to have this back and it was a beautiful episode. <3

The very first scene with Pikari running and Teko following her on the scooter made me smile. :)
Also WHOOP!! XD
The Chibi faces. <3
God, I have missed this.

Pikari was in pretty big danger there, glad to see that Teko and Ai were able to avert crisis. [s]Personally, I wouldn't have minded a little sneak peak.[/i] XD

The BBQ part was pretty fun to watch.

The final scene with Teko and Pikari walking along the shore was my favorite, such a sweet scene. Pikari and Teko's relationship always feels so genuine to me.
Pikari's right, let's not fret about the future and have as much fun as we can in the present. After all,

I love the pure theme of this show. <3

Meeting Pikari sure has caused great change in Futaba. Wow they sure had a lot of customers. Pikari's little mishap sure ended up involving a lot of people. The barbecue was a nice idea to allow them to get together again. It goes to show just how strong a bond they managed to form between them. While they both worry about the day that they would part its nice that they aren't letting it stop them from having fun. A pretty chill episode to allow us to meet the cast again.

This anime is love and the theme songs are beautiful again.

Teko and Ai were able to save Pikari out of a pretty uncomfortable situation. I'm sry for poor Makoto,tho,he had some bad timing there xD

Barbecue was super fun and I was also fond of the glorius Teko,Pikari scene at the end.

Can't wait for next week and the new characters.

btw, hope I'm not misunderstanding, but is Teku and Pikari's relationship heading towards
or is it just cute friendship? either way its okay with me.

Lol Pikari forgot her bikini when she went to thermal ship.

Good to see it's back, as relaxing as I remembered. I hope we see more of the beautiful ocean scenery when they dive. Next episode will be the intoduction of Kokoro, can't say I'm excited for that but well after that more cute thing will happen.

Will this show please just come right and let Pikari and Teko kiss already? They've already said "I love you" and they're completely inseparable. I would have so much respect if these girls were just canon lesbians without it being a full-blown shoujo-ai/yuri anime.

Teko and Pikari are back! Celebratin' the nip slip(yay!) avoidance(awww) with a barbecue! As calm and relaxing a series as I remember, but all the talk about them eventually parting was a downer. I know! They just need to get married! Yuri for the win! XD

At first I wished that there was more diving in my diving anime but then I realized that the real diving was the friends we met along the way. I really hoped we get some more diving this season rather than having to wait 12 episodes again, I was expecting the first episode to set the tone for the season so I was expecting more. The Aria callback was pretty funny though "Akane-chan, no corny lines allowed"

seeing Teko and Pikari never gets old haha also the 2 Aria girls, no one ever gets tired of hearing their voices, too bad she didn't say that line as "hazukashi serifu kinshi", Akane even said eehh? =D

a future without Teko? nope, not happening, they will live together forever in the amanchu household :v

Y'know, with 6 different high-profile sequels coming out this season, this was the sequel I was looking forward to the most. Season one was just incredibly calm and funny and it seems like season 2 will be as well =w=.

Also, I've missed those fking facial expressions and Hikari's 'whoop!'. Those never fail to amuse me :3

Another season of diving and beautiful character interactions, great to see everyone again. And oh my that ending was amazing, "hello" to you too. So many Aria easter
eggs in this episode, seeing Maa-kun, no embarrassing lines allowed and the famous "ehhh". Bit worried by the foreshadowing though. The idea of what will Teko do when she leaves. IF she even leaves.

So far a great reintroduction back into the series and cant wait for more!

Ahh! That glorious calm atmosphere is back. I started re-watching season 1 just to get me caught up, but I couldn't resist watching ep 1 of s2 and I like it as much as I did the first series. I'll have the whole season 1 and the OVA completed by the time ep 2 airs next week.

Wow, didn't know this was going to air this season. Pretty good introductory episode.

Looks like they're going to tone down on the creepy chibi faces, which would be fucking great. This is probably the most Pikari has shown her normal face in an episode.

The new OP will take a little getting used to though. It sounds generic as hell compared to the first season's opening song. But the new background music track was decent.

Goddamn you JC Staff for putting the episode I wanted in the OVA. I didn't even know that until this Episode 1. Now I definitely need to watch the OVA.

Jokes aside, I am so glad I decided to catch up to this leading up to S2. This show gives me mad Aria The Animation vibes and I just love it. I really wish we get more focus on Pikari because she is still a bit hard to relate to since we don't fully understand her. Teko's been taken care of a whole lot already. It's time we balance things out with the other of the two. I'm super excited for this season. ^_^
