THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Tons of fan service this episode considering the amount of pool scenes. At the same time, I'm kinda glad Uraka is getting more screen time to show her athletic skills. (wish they expanded on the actual competition scenes though)

Uraka's future is realistic when she considers about studying abroad. I think she's at a point in her life where she has to make important choices.

Fumino still giving those love advice.

So Uruka is planning to study abroad. Good Luck.

This is such an awesome way to relax before going back to sleep after waking up early for FGO and SAO. Sensei in a swimsuit and shower>>>>>>>>>> . Tanlines strike again! Got some good development with Uruka today which showed us a potential roadblock for she and Yuiga in the future, but just like when people ask me what I want to do after my PhD, we'll cross that bridge when we get there, eh? Season 2 has been so underrated because of the other big airing shows, but I love this series

(note: speaking from a manga perspective without much spoilers, actual spoilers in the tag)
saw next week's preview and damn we're jumping so much. i'm talking about chapter 85-89 material (the Fumino arc) whereas we started this season at chapter 44 with a pace of 2 chapters per episode (so 16 chapters passed).
that being said, since the manga is very much episodic, i'm fully expecting that we jump back to the School Festival arc as the finale (same how in season 1 they jumped around past the Summer Festival arc but went back to it to finish off the season)
my biggest fear are the key points that they're missing by directly jumping to the Fumino arc without going through a couple key chapters beforehand, considering how in recent chapters of the manga we're focused on the chronology of Fumino
actual spoilers ahead:

It's been a while since we've had an Uruka episode. Sadly for her I think this development kills the few chances she had.

On the other hand, Ponytail Swimsuit Sensei is too strong <3 <3 <3, she shines even without being the focus of the episode. And you know that Sensei also means Sensei's butt... bare butt included. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

And what am I seeing in the preview? A Fumino episode/arc? Finally! The season is ending and there has hardly been any focus on her, especially when she is the most obvious option for winning.

I think there are notice already about the school festival arc due of lots of spoilers and more advanced prediction from the people which they did not following in the manga series and let me guess this remaining five episode (9-13) that will be arc episode specially Fumino, Asumi Senpai,and Mafuyu Sensei...

So we will expected that they will come in exchange for the school festival arc..

We Never Learn delivers yet another fine episode! Nariyuki realizes his P.E. grades are lacking, so he gets some tutoring from both Uruka and Mafuyu. It's funny to see Nariyuki be on the receiving end of tutoring lessons, and despite Uruka's expertise in sports (well, swimming, at least), it's Mafuyu who helps Nariyuki with his lessons, not to mention that she gives some valuable words of advice to Uruka for her competition. Also, this episode features a fair amount of character development for Uruka, who makes an important choice for her future, even if that means a signficant change in her relationship with Nariyuki. We Never Learn continues to be one of the finest shows of the season and I can't wait to see what happens next.

Finally some Uraka screentime! You can tell Yuiga treats her a little differently than the other two and this episode pretty much confirmed that. How manly of him to say it outright that he'll miss her, way to go you kisama lol.

Congrats to Uraka for winning the Competition and deciding to go abroad by the way, I was thinking maybe she would decide against it given how things were going but it's good to see that she's prioritizing her future too. Yuiga's tears in the end though, xD.

Props to Sensei too for clearing Uraka's mind. Some fanservice to sprinkle on top too, typical Bokuben lol.

Looks like it'll be Fumino arc next, looking forward to it!

Furuhashi is becoming best girl for me, even though this episode wasn't even about her. Her ability to understand the situation and react accordingly is just starting to overcome pros of other girls, as they are becoming repetitive and thus, boring.

Kind of annoying how they are all over the place with this adaptation; really deters me from wanting to go further into the source. Like usually if I like an adaptation well enough, I'll dive into the source but I can feel how this is out of sorts and trying to read the manga already feels like a chore. Mafuyu is probably the best girl out of this; her and Fumino...kinda curious how these next five eps go.
Don't believe the hype.

Would be awesome for Uruka to be able to study abroad! Her english has to improve a lot though! The more I see Fumino giving support for the other girls, the more I think that she won't be the one getting with Nariyuki. I mean she doesn't seem to get anywhere at this rate.

Great episode!

Naiyuki getting extra swimming lessons was really funny, Uruka was sent to help him, other grils from swimming club reactions towards Uruka were relly funny!

Mafuyu had to finish the tutoring lesson, she even in swimming she showed to be a really good teacher, also she was really good with swimsuit and pony tail, so gorgeous, also awesome bath scene with Mafuyu and Uruka!

Fumino is always awesome with that advises!

Seems next episode will focus on Fumino, looking forward to it!

uruka decided to study abroad and is focused to learn english serious!

Shit man while it was great to get an Uruka heavy episode I feel like the ending decision she is making is only going to hurt her chances at being the end girl.

That sucks a lot. I can see her confessing and then going to Australia lost love.

Honestly I feel like Ogata is in the lead due to her actual love for Yuiga, but if things are what they should be an a Fumino arc is up coming...well then Fumino might take the lead. I feel like her and Yuiga have a really strong friendship which could lead to a relationship.

It's been AGES since we've had a Uraka episode!

HEH, Nariyuki excels at everything BUT FAILS AT SWIMMING? That's what I call a full-on recommendation. And Kirisu-sensei in a swimsuit always makes the day.
But as always with Uraka feeling the brunt of pressure, Kirisu-sensei's advise made it all the better.

As usual, Uraka's prowess at swimming gives her the recommendation (WHAT!?) of studying overseas to give her time to shine and hone her skills, at the expense of friends and the LDR crush on Nariyuki. Again, Fumino being the winggirl here. Just can't get enough of her.

But of it all, Uruka made up her mind to study overseas...with the off-chance that her time with Nariyuki is limited. Important episode amidst the comedy and all.

A very nice episode, we get to see Sensei in a swimsuit and in the baths. Yup! I agree with Uruka's statement on Mafuyu's body, TOP OF THE LINE!

I quite liked this episode focused on the development of Uruka, also through this episode we had the opportunity to take a brief look at Mafuyu sensei's competitive past, she as an ice skater looks beautiful, I would love to see more of that.

Anyway, the first part of the episode focuses on how Nariyuki sucks in sports and if he does not approve in the swimming he will fail the class, fortunately Uruka is there to help, but the bad thing is that Uruka is very bad explaining things, but Mafuyu knew what was Nariyuki's problem and so the boy was able to give an advance to his swimming lessons.
I sighed several times in this part of the episode, Uruka is so beautiful, I love seeing her in her competitive swimsuit, but to my pleasant surprise this episode delighted me with the presence of Mafuyu sensei and this improves when I saw her with swimsuit too, she is perfect, without neglecting Uruka, Fumino, Asumi or little Rizu, but Mafuyu has that aura of maturity and femeneity that the other girls still cannot reach.
No doubt the shower scene left me pleased ... damn Uruka, why are you so beautiful? and then they delight us with the spectacular body of Mafuyu while being described by Uruka, but leaving aside the delicious fanservice, Mafuyu gave an important lesson to Uruka in the competitive aspect of school sports and this shows that Mafuyu has also been improving in the the way she treats her students, this council results in the victory for Uruka and this triggers the events of the second half of the episode.
After her victory in the swimming competition Uruka is offered the opportunity to study abroad and this proposal makes Uruka act distant in front of Nariyuki and is Fumino who intuits that something happened.
I love Uruka's face when she lies, she is so adorable when she tries to put a poker face.
Through the complicated conversation with Uruka, Fumino discovers that Uruka has plans to study abroad, but Nariyuki appears unexpectedly and Uruka disappears in a second, during the conversation and a couple of very funny moments, Fumino asks him a precise question to Nariyuki as to how he would feel if Uruka was dating a boy and Nariyuki's response moved me too much, obviously he would feel sad, that shows how well they both get along, but that answer overwhelmed Uruka's maiden's heart for the happiness she felt when she heard her beloved say that and this ends with Uruka's decision to accept the proposal to study abroad.

In the next episode I will see one of my favorite arcs, I needed screen time for Fumino and I am sure I will have too much fun.

I really friggen love Uruka. She's doing her own thing instead of changing her life around Yuiga's existence. That means so much. Like, we often see the whole "romantic" choice where it's like, "I'm not going to study abroad! All my friends (and my crush) are here!" But Uruka's going for her dreams and that makes me have so much more respect for her than I already had. Oh my gosh. ;A;

And, to be honest, it's not even like she can't still date Yuiga. First off, study abroad usually only goes for a year. If this is one of those special cases then the most it's gonna go is four years max. That's nothing. But honestly it doesn't even matter. What's important is that Uruka is happy. I don't care if she ends up with Yuiga or not, this is such a big step for her and I'm really happy that she's going for it! She's amazing! I'm actually really surprised that they put such a gem like Uruka in this show-- heck, I even have more respect for the show after this. I was expecting the usual harem bs, but they actually made Uruka an individual. Praise.
