| There's someone main guy admires, who also helped him get used to fear of diving. Facepalm @ that guy who likes rumors. Later learned that the lady is here to coach them and to help restore the club. The main guy is only interested in diving, but those girls with the girl who confessed him are such a bully that he had no choice but to be with her even though he is not interested in her. Oh, wow, Chikuwa, the dog, is Shimono-san?! ShimoKaji again! The series, though, didn't expect much and was ok. Will still watch for the sake of ShimoKaji but not comment anything further. 25:10 next. |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| That was a good pilot episode; I liked it. Glad we have Yuki Kaji as the MC again; I will never get tired of his voice. And I can sense a lot of fanservice incoming. Hahaha! I ain't complaining, though. I hope this will be a decent sports anime. |

| I can't believe that there are so many promising show this season. Well this not one of them |
| Gay mc with such a laaaaaaaame sport. easiest pass ever |
| being a big fan of Free! I can't really see this anime going anywhere that is as good as Free. I mean technically speaking they aren't similar, they are both just water themed sports animes buuuut... |
 |
| This was off to a shaky start. I personally found the "girlfriend" really annoying. MC appears to be a coward and seems to have a crush on that other dude. The plot is pretty typical and hopefully it will pick up the pace. I'm going to give it a few more episodes to see if it gets better. |
| This anime is so very confused. Does it want to be gay or not? |
 |
| GAAAAAAY Actually I don't even care if it's a gay show but they shouldn't have a girl in this kind of show, poor Miyu, I can already tell his girlfriend will settle with his brother when she finds out he's sooo gay, I wanna drop this sooo bad but I wanna see this gay MC get NTR'd by his brother Gay MC deserves to get NTR'd |
| mm... was looking forward to it but didn't seem too impressive for a first episode. I actually really enjoy watching real life diving but this anime just seems kinda bland and not very exciting. |
 |
| The "girlfriend" and the twin brother are too annoying. Hope that MC get courage to get away from these two. |
| Yeah, this was incredibly Mediocre and the MC is very unlikeable, i feel bad for the girl. |
jin_raito said: well, that girl is pushing herself too much even after he rejected her.. so for him even he's not into it, just to avoid being troubled with those annoying girls (friends of miyu), he accepted it.. and obviously the MC is not yet in the phase of fancying someone, he's on the way to that though... with Youichi lol He never rejected her though, she confessed and he accepted, not her fault the MC doesnt have the balls to admit that he doesnt like her. |
| Thought it was an ok first episode. Will see how this goes ^^ But speedos though...speedos everywhere XD I'm weirded out by speedos. |
| I don't like sports but there have been some sports anime that I liked even though I did not like the sport. I think sports you play against others (like Ping Pong - with that great anime ... or soccer or baseball) are the most interesting because it is possible to see intense matches and rivalry and stuff like that. Sports where you compete against others and try to be more fit/fast (running or stuff like that) also are okay. But those "art" sports where you do something and a jury rates it (I guess that is what this jumping/diving is about ... same as with that dancing anime) seem less interesting to me. I liked that it did not only focus in the sports but also showed that school girl (potential girlfriend) and him looking up to the older guy (maybe later even getting love advise and not only sports advise from him). What I did not like: Well the main being too focused on that sport. I guess it is hard to understand if you don't do a similar sport yourself. If there were rivals or stuff like that ... it would feel more interesting. Music and stuff was nice. Studio tried to make the best with that boring sports the show is about. I'll still watch episodes 2-3 maybe. Trainer seemed nice and the older female. Nice char design for them and for the older guy the young guy looked up to. |
| .... MC pissed me off. Can this show be about the senpai instead? |
| Not sure whats up with him and Miyu but dam is she really still chasing him after getting rejected. |
| another gay show like Free...but from a fairly new studio...let's see... 3/5. |
 |
| It's obvious Tomoki isn't interested in Miu especially when she was talking to him while he was thinking about something else. The flasback also made it obvious that he agreed to date her just on a whim and to make himself look good and not because he likes her. I'm not sure if Tomoki is gay but if he's not interested in his girlfriend, then it's better to break up even if that would end up hurting her. At least it's better than being with someone who's not interested in you, right? The way I see it, either Tomoki will start to fall for Miu eventually or his twin will get her instead as it seems that he cares for her. I opt for the latter. |
| Eh? I never thought the MC was a jerk. He's alright. He acts towards his brother like a lot of teenagers do, and he doesn't know how to deal with his gf, that's all. I'm surprised about how much I like this. Also, gay everywhere. |
| Seems pretty interesting so far. Might get depressing later but lots good so far |
| I'm pleasantly surprised, because I enjoyed this first episode! We got to what the synopsis talked about: the Mizuki Diving Club will shut down, unless the team has at least one person who will compete in the Olympics. I look forward to seeing how Youichi and Tomo will train for the Olympics! :) It's really great to see that Youichi actually helped Tomo during diving practice, by advising him to keep his eyes open and encouraged him to jump from higher heights. :) It was cute when Youichi reinforced Tomo to believe in himself, as Youichi said "Don't think anything's impossible. Everyone has the potential." Youichi was the person who asked Tomo if he wanted to dive, and considering that Youichi has always been Tomo’s diving idol, I see why Tomo always speaks and looks positively at Youichi. :) It's awesome to see Youichi's confidence in diving! Although, I wonder if Youichi faces tremendous pressure, since "his father Keisuke Fujitani is the coach for MDC, and a former Olympic athlete. His mother was also the queen of diving." :/ Will we see Youichi have a breakdown, or some kind of challenge that he'll later overcome? I like Tomo's friends! XD Reiji (the character Uchiyama voices) was hilarious, when he kept saying things like, "What could be more important than us?", "A beautiful woman who's more important than us?", and "An affair more important than us." It was cute to see Reiji ‘sulk’ over Sacchin’s claim that Coach Fujitani was having an affair. Sacchin may be that comedic relief character, since he not only said Coach Fujitani had an affair, he also questioned if Tomo was doing the same. :P I wonder how Tomo will handle his romantic relationship later... He really isn't devoting his attention, or placing any efforts to be with Miu. They don't have things in common, since she loves to talk about baking, while he's only focused on diving. (Tomo didn't even want Miu to watch him dive. :/ ) I do hope that Miu doesn't date Tomo's brother, Hiro, later, which could be awkward >< - unless, if it's executed well and convincingly (a bonus if Hiro and Miu dating would contribute significantly to the story). I'm curious to see what the purpose of having Tomo date Miu is, and how it would affect his character development. I look forward to seeing how Asaki will coach MDC! :) I look forward to meeting Yamada too; he has gorgeous hair. I like the opening and ending theme songs. I definitely like the voice acting so far! <3 |

| Not bad for a start , I like the idea of Diving and in the last scene of the Op Tomo was opening his eyes very sharply i dunno i feel like it's going to get exciting suddenly ... Anyways i liked Miyu she's cute and cool but Tomo's kinda plain he doesn't stand out or anything even tho he's the MC and he doesn't have talents for diving or something like everyone's got potential even him but he needs to train so much to get to Yoichi's level and the other members too if they don't want the MDC to shut down then they gotta participate in that tournament and at least show their skills and the results of the everyday practice , I'm gonna continue watching this and like i said i like the idea of Diving because i really do like diving myself and i hope this anime gets a lot better and more thrilling , Looking Forward !!!! |
Pknoctis said: This anime is so very confused. Does it want to be gay or not? It's...totally gay LOL like the signs are super clear. He's not going to come out bc it's a sports anime but I can guarantee you the kokuhaku or confession scene to Yoichi-senpai will come up prettyyy soonn. That will make it super clear. While our MC 'admires' him I can almost guarantee the confession will pretty much spell it out. Unless this show intends to somehow weave heterosexual relationships into a show about sports anime or any romance at all. I honestly see this 'relationship' they have just being a device to cater to the desires of fujoshis. Not sure how I feel about that, but not sure why I actually expected there to be a pretty good plot. Who knows...I'll stick around but with diving and the lack of detail they are giving so far about the sport I am having doubts. |

| I saw the Sexy bodies with six-pack on this anime. Girls definitely like it |
 |
| This was horrible, couldn't even finish the ep. And someone save that girl please.. |
 |
| the first episode left me a bit... confused; clearly not because of the story or anything, but so far, I don't know how to feel about this. I was kind of hyped because of the fan service lbr, but don't know really. I also personally didn't particularly like the art/animation in some parts; that aside, MC is going to give me lotsa fan service with his admiration for Youichi c; |
 |
| It was OK. I like the OP and ED theme song, it matches the anime. And the music is also nice. I think it will get interesting. |
| It's hard to get a complete feel from just the first episode, but this show is awesome. I love it so far. The characters actually feel like real people. There was a lot of emotion packed into that short period of time. As a fan of diving, I was really looking forward to this series, and it's looking up! |
| First episode seems a little bit flat, but hey it's still the intro so I'll stick for more episodes. MMC is somewhat unlikeable. He acts pretty normal to his twin brother(?)for their age, you know the love-hate relationship. ----- I don't like how he treats his gf (Miyu?) at all, obviously the girl likes him very very much. Just break up with her already man, she deserves better. So far I'm not getting any gay-ish feeling, unlike in YOI, Free! And Cheer Danshi (yep, watched and enjoyed Cheer Danshi lol) |
| Nice scenery,swimming,the lead is pretty weird as of now. Okay so I hope Sacchin or whatever drowns unfortunately,the kid is a humiliating example of human being.I can't stand the little shit after 1 episode.Is that even possible? I will give it a couple of eps |
| shit that was boring |
 |
| Pretty bland first episode. I only watched it out of curiosity because I heard its a free! Rip out and then found out thatit isn't. Its just a bad anime on its own. Probably won't continue to watch this. Doesn't seem to be worth the time. |
| i don't really think it's like battery?? i dropped that one after just one episode, it was suuuuper boring but here with dive i've watched the first two and i'm ok with it idk i do wanna keep watching |
 Levi is that u!?? That eyes that hair!! |
| Goodluck to anyone who finishes this. |
| Boring af I can't @ how triggered the MC was when he saw the female coach, jesus The female coach is fkn gorgeous, she and the grey haired boy are the only saving grace of this anime |
| This episode was nothing special so far but... now's the start of a new adventure, right? An adventure where the boys will do their best to enter the olympics and finnish to top 3. Hope they make it there :D This anime sounds like a tribute to Free!! Iwatobi Swim Club :3 I feel a connection here <3 |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| I just love the gay vibes and fan service this has, plus the sports genre, I'am totally in. |
-¡Give yourself to me! |
| It's always like this, if a boy dumps a girl he is treated as if he were the devil on earth, but when it's the girl who does it, it can be in the most humiliating way possible and everyone still finds it funny.🤡 |
 |
| Ano kinniku is too "OP" for a high school boy 😑 Just one ep, I can't bear with it.. This is absolutely for girl fans / watcher only, for those who love kinniku.. Sorry, but the looks come first n I can feel it if this is just another garbage.. |
