Why you so silly? I'm glad Rin is back though at the pool area. Competition TIME. These dudes have some nice swimming skills.. I like the intensity in his eyes:  |

| Wow, Yonaga-san's character is persistant for wanting Hirakawa-san's character, who wants beauty and cannot swim. Using mind and mumbling (calculating) is his way of doing sport. Even though he was reluctant to swim, he was forced to swim. He is eventually dazed by Haruka's way of sporting and officially in. Now Yonaga-san's character is responsible for teaching him. (also,, I thought that "Haru-chan-san" was funny, too) Miyata-san's character is also a swimmer who was there?! lol~ Wow, interesting song for chu2byou movie!! |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Rei was inspired and made the jump (pun intended) to join the team. Kou won't stop any time soon fantasizing over the guys, lol. |
 |
| Rei, finally ! I was waiting for you !  Aww. |
| Rei is such a fun character !! And a lot of Gou too, which is great ! |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Rei is more silly than it seemed like he would be. And I love it :3 |
 |
| lol.. wtf rei! ? 5/5 for his speedo |
 |
| lol Rei |
| Kou is the winner again. |

 BAHAHAHA What guy says this!? Alright now I know KyoAni's messing with us |

| So enough persistance persuades him to join the swim team - even if he can't swim? |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Lol, I wonder how they'd teach him to swim next episode.. Hopefully he learns by the time the tournament comes. I was expecting him to do a pretty good dive, but that facepalm into the water, ouch LOL. And he did a starfish when he was jumping over the bar too! XD Shounen93 said: lol Rei  Lol yeah, I guess he couldn't decide whether to say -chan or -san XD |
Hybridbloodszak said: BAHAHAHA What guy says this!? Alright now I know KyoAni's messing with us Haha indeed. Also, that embarrassed, tsundere look right afterward was pure gold. |

| excited for the next. Can't wait to see Rei actually swimming :'3 Love the rin&gou sibling moments ♥ parfaited said: Monochrome said: Rei is more silly than it seemed like he would be. And I love it :3 I like how Haru and Rei turned out to be sillier than what the PVs let on. |

| That was a really nice episode :D Rei is really funny! I thought he's gonna be the serious type but turns out he really added a lot of humor to the episode. (Haru-chan-san and his fail dive XD) Haru's motivation to (Oyogu tabehodai) was so lol XD Kou was cute as usual and she was really helpful getting info and booking for practices...etc Dat Muscle fetish is so lol XD Also Yandere eye Ama-chan-sensei when they were talking about using her sexiness was lol XD Hope we can at least see her in a swimsuit at least once ^^ Really can't get enough of that OP & ED |
 |
parfaited said: Hell yesss Ryuugazaki-kun. Lost my shit when he did that spreadeagle pose while he was vaulting. LOL omg that was hilarious and totally unexpected. Since he was talking about perfect form and looking pretty before, I knew he would decide to join after watching Haruka swim :D The part where Haruka looked like he was swimming in the ocean was really pretty, along with the nice relaxing bgm. Looking forward to seeing Rei learn how to swim XD |
| I totally don't expected this guy can't swim! So funny! And these poses! I really like Kou! She isn't crazy fangirl like in other animes some girls are! She is just fangirl like me! xD Love her! Can't wait to see more half naked bodies in next week! |
    |
| Good episode. Rei fail lol I laughed pretty hard. I thought Rei would be a more serious character but I guess I turned out to be wrong. Still ranked the least out of all the characters but I surprisingly liked him quite a bit. "We don't need anyone like that in our club." Haru's so cute. Mod Edit: Removed quote of a deleted post. |

| It was surprising that he didn't know how to swim. And there were a few funny moments here and there. Also I thought that there were be more rivalry between the two schools, so I never thought that they would let them swim together. Anyway, why are they keeping Gou fully clothed?! |
| I was really happy when Rei decided to join the swimming team :D And Haru is so awesome~ |

| Just... Haru-chan-san |
 ...if the image BBCode on signatures would start working again it'd be greatly appreciated ;~~~; |
| LMAO, all that subtext. XD Hybridbloodszak said: ikr?BAHAHAHA What guy says this!? Alright now I know KyoAni's messing with us It sounds just wrong. |

| Somehow I really cannot stand black haired megane guys. Rei is fucking loud too sometimes, what a turn off. He's doing it wrong if he's trying to be slightly tsundere. So far my least favourite character. |

|
| I guess Rei is second best guy, right below Makoto. He looks like he can be an interesting foil to the group. |
| The one thing that I'd love to see is a lesbian yandere. |
| Good episode! It was cool, but not as great as last week's. I was feeling the homosexual undertones too much this time. >.> I fangirl over their bodies, not their relationships. xP But it was sweet seeing the friendship Nagisa and Rei formed nonetheless. But yeah, everyone's so handsome as usual. :3 Haru's swimming really is beautiful. Didn't enjoy this as much as last week's, but wasn't bad at all. |
| Why am I only now noticing how hilarious and adorable Nagisa is I so ship Nagisa x Rei I just want to cuddle Rin to death, he's such a buttface. I really like Rei, he's such a dork. My heart still belongs to Haruka though. "So you're Haru-chan-san?" Rei, you are so precious. And Haruka was just a cutie throughout the whole episode as usual. This is the first episode so far where he didn't randomly take his clothes off upon seeing water o: |
| Rei has made this episode the best one so far. Ahahaha. I think back on the type of character everyone thought Nagisa would be. Innocent shota looking up to senpai. Nagisa is so exploitative, opportunistic, relentless, manipulative. |
| One thing i don't like about this series is the forced rivalry between Haruko and Rin it's like rin lost one friendly match to haruko and its like he lost to him in an olimpic final match. The episode is ok it was funny and the fanservice is a little too much. |
| So Rei is actually a huge dork. Looooooove. I feel kind of sorry for people who reject this series without giving it a chance because they think it's going to be only bishounen fanservice. It's really fun to watch, I had a smile on my face all the time. |
| "Look at those deltoids..." "And his biceps are also beautiful!" Gou is just awesome. She's so me. I think I like her more than the male characters :'D Also, Rei is very gay-ish. I like that. The more I watch the ending, the more I like it. |
 |
| DAT FAIL DIVE. DEM DELTOIDS. DEM BICEPS. Yep. As expected. |

| what angle should my arms be at?? SPLAT. mofo cant swim -_- lol at last frames. nagisa seemed most probable to say those words. dat homo-Eroticism |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| Glasses-kun is the best. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
Hybridbloodszak said: BAHAHAHA What guy says this!? Alright now I know KyoAni's messing with us Yaoi-fan girl so ofcourse you know what I though. |
| That diving fail was funny lol. |
 |
| Just realized that I totally love the ending song. ^^° |
 |
| Lolol, glasses guy is such a drama queen. Anyway, thought I'd drop it but guess I'll watch the rest now, although with 3 eps already done not sure where they can go with what's left. And once again ED makes me burst out laughing so yeah, I'd rather have that than it being boring. |
| Homoerotic undertones everywhere... lol Not that it's a bad thing. I find it kind of amusing to watch. I just like that this series doesn't take itself too seriously and is self-aware of the fanservice and undertones. I enjoyed this episode quite a bit. I'm still loving all the little quirks and splashes of unexpected humor. I was half-expecting Rei to jump in the pool and be decent at swimming by going off his calculations, but that plummet got me cracked up. I don't see this series going anywhere in-depth with its story or characters, but I'm on board with this one for the fun and enjoyment factor. |
