| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Episode is out on Anime Strike. Idk about the Olympics but these boys do need to improve more if the want to make it into the big leagues. The MC Tomoki Sakai feels pretty dull so far. Not that I dislike him but he doesn't have anything particular interesting about his character. The show obviously has man service with the diving. Hope they can make the idea of diving more interesting though. |

| Good start but I dunno if I can get behind this MC....He's not bad or anything but seeing the way he treats that Miyo girl and his (twin?) brother kinda left a bad taste in my mouth Either way, the other character interactions were nice and I REALLY like the ace of their club (He's pretty cool and has a nice personality + I respect his drive) and with all this in mind, I hope that the actual concept of diving will end up being interesting and fun to watch P.S. That new female coach is HOT AF and I'm gonna need her to have lots of screentime in swim wear ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |

| Oh man... this gonna have a lot fan service. I kinda dislike the MC. He's just off. And also the CGI wasn't so distracting. I hope it's interesting. |
 |
| hmmmm it feels a bit bland at the moment :( (like...everything, the setting, the characters (esp. MC). Maybe I just was expecting something more significant in the first episode or a kind of "bam". The story parts with the potential shut down of the club and his hurt ex-gf is not working on me because I had no chance whatsoever to emphasize with the MC yet. What do I care whether your club is shut down. And Olympics? Out of the blue? Hard to believe. Common sense lost. Everything's mixed together in a very weird way for now. Let's see how it's going to continue. |
| The MC, Tomoki, seems quite indecisive. As others have said he's pretty dull. There might be some character development in future episode that can change that. Hopefully. The way he treated the girl Miu and his brother is making me dislike the MC. |
 |
| This is totally Battery all over again. This MC is a dick, wow. Leaving his ''girlfriend'' hanging, being unsure about it and brushing it off. I feel really bad for her. In Battery, we had a subtext for a gay romance, looks like it's here again. The start was pretty...meh in all honesty, i was angered though with wishy-washy MC though, i am interested where they go with that cause it was prominently featured in this episode at the end. |
| Nothing special in my opinion. I'm interested to see where the anime goes with its characters, but the story thus far isn't too intriguing. |
| I don't really see how he is a "dick" when he never saw the text to begin with. That aside, the show is somewhat bland. |

He decided to date her on a whim without any feelings for her, doesn't let her watch him do his favorite hobby, daydreams about random stuff while she's trying to have a conversation, ignores her texts even though his brother told him about it... There is a pattern lol. Anyway, I was expecting an ugly show from the trailers, but too bad it's also boring to boot :/ Really hope it gets better. He obviously just doesn't like her but doesn't know how to tell her. |

| Was looking forward to this show, but the beginning is different than expected, not really a complete let down, but also not something which sets off euphoria. Like others said so far it appears odd,rushed and there's nothing special. The MC is also not for my liking. Nonetheless I'm probably gonna stick with Dive!! for now, maybe there will be some kind of development which change my opinion about it. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I have such mixed feelings about it. I love cast, so many favorites seiyuu. Animation, chara designs... looks pretty cool. But story... seems kinda meh... and I have feeling like they want make something like Free and Yuri on Ice. Because everything feels so... forced. Is like creators/studio scream: "Please, let it be popular like Free or Yuuri on Ice!", "We give you male fanservice, BL fanservice, so love it" |
| This MC is a jerk I can say, neglecting his girlfriend like that |
| I like Furina, I love Furina. |
| Uninteresting MC, and that side romance doesn't contribute anything at all. If anything it will be used as a wedge later in the series to make MC doubt himself. There's no value in it. |
WarriorOfTimes said: Was looking forward to this as i thought it would be something similar to Free, but the first episode is a huge let down. Also many ppl complained in other Threads about the Content Jumps and Age gaps, well it seems that this mc went from 8-10 to 15 in the blink of an eye. I dont really get what the show wants to achieve anymore as they already have the lead in any Dive Competiition. The after-school interaction made it look like a slice-of-life anime which isnt particular focused on anything. Watched about 12min before i dropped it. Perhaps you dropped it to soon, as there was clearly at least 5 minutes backstory of when they first started in the club and our main character Sakai was learning how to dive from Youchi. It was hard to follow or full of time skips and jups that one would feel lost by. |

| Diving anime yes ahhhhhh 😍 ❤ |
| Was wondering why there were no forum discussions when I finished downloading this from horriblesubs... (I guess i was too early). Looks like it was a good idea keeping this to the side. Just from reading the comments I think i'll stay away from this series unless it gets better. |
 |
| Ok first of all the MC is gay. Hands down. My god. Second, ugh these speedos. They hurt my eyes. AND I NEED MORE ABS! *sigh* For those of you saying this is a Free! ripoff...don't disgrace Free! This can't compare. |
| I'm just really hoping it won't be like Free! since didn't like that show... I'm mixed about this Main character, I'm just not getting good auras/vibes Please don't disappoint me Dive! I want there to be an awesome anime about swimming/diving without it being mega-fanservice Okay that girlfriend was dropping mad hints about wanting a date with the MC and he just like idkkkkkkk.... see sus The Olympics eh? |

| Okay episode to be honest. I was expecting more from this show but it really was a let down. Story seems average and kind of ridiculous, the characters bland but it has got good animation and wonderful music. The main character is, by far, the worst character and so I would like to see that change over time. 7/10 with considerable leniency... |

| This was cute!! This episode was kinda slow, but I plan on continuing it to see where the story goes. Story is meh so far Great seiyuus VERY ATTRACTIVE CHARACTER!! Overall 4/5 |
 |
| Just like battery...boring pace and story. Try 1 ep again before dropping this. |
 |
| No thank you. 1/10 dropped. |

It does look like he was never interested in having a girlfriend in the first place though. |
 |
| I think the sport of diving isn't as exciting to watch as maybe some others so for this anime to be good I think the story and character interactions will have to be done well. Also I think some people may have gone into the first episode with the wrong expectations. |
| oh, man, jilting your beard like that is just not cool! Would love if this actually turned out to be a good coming-of-age sports drama. |
| weird artstyle especially the eye like wth! story so far it ok but still don't like the anime so far. |

| Kay... That was boring and shit. MC is a total shitter and I can't like. Usually, I'd give it a few more episodes, but it's just so bland and story looks pretty meh so far for where it's heading. Basically the same as Battery, and that was zzzzzzz. Dropped. |
 |
| Man I was hoping for so much more from this because I enjoy the sport. But this is shit so far. |
| :) |
| Personally, I'm going to give this a chance. I went into it with an open mind, and knowing that the novel was written well before Free was released, there's no point comparing them. I've seen the 2008 movie adaptation a long while ago and it was quite enjoyable. I'm hoping the anime will focus on showing the character interactions and their growth. KnightA said: Mega cringe at the beginning, anyone see a dragon when Yoichi jumped? Lol Not any likable characters so far... He meant the diving tower. Nothing cringy with that. Imagine seeing a big and overwhelming structure as a kid when everything seems even bigger than it is. |

| Very gay, I hope they keep the gay up. Anything else is pretty boring smh |
| I enjoyed the first episode a lot and I think it has potential but in the back of my mind I was saying "please don't be gay" the whole way through :/ |
| The MC is gay, please someone tell him and his gf ok so,it was pretty uneventful and meh so far but i will be sticking with it |
| Tomoki is sooooo gay for Youichi. THAT'S MY SHIT!! #blessedfujoshi |
