THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
So the first semester of class ended and they got a Summer pool party. Welp, this episode pretty much had the most fan service with the swimsuits. Hell, even Horikita decides to join the party.

Class D and even Class B joins in for the fun.
I'm also somewhat surprised that even the top students at school like Sakayanagi showed up. Class D's boys are also such perverts

Worst episode so far.

It was not because of fanservice but the stupid plan and such.

Yeah, they extremely ruin this adaptation because they're Horikita's fan.

So many fan service in this episode. I'm satisfied. But the guys really went all out for that stupid plan. Good thing Ayanokouji was there.

A much more light-hearted break from what happened last ep, giving more development on Horikita. It's a little odd seeing her act normal around Ayanokouji after what happened.

Its a breather episode and the infamous fanservice obligatory ep.
Sadly I didnt enjoy it, the girls being hot aside (which I enjoyed) I hated the parts when they switch with the guy's stupid plan and failed atempts at comedy.
Last part had Horikita smile so I guess it was worth it.
Also Sakura being adorable.
I havent said this before but my God... all of em are fcking hot.

I also dont mind them going full on Horikita only development, she's by far the only interesting girl out of the cast, well her and Arisu. Besides so long as Ayanokoji is in it then theres no problem, he's the reason why Im watching this in the 1st place.

I thought it was decent. Yea, it's your typical pool fanservice episode but it was a good opportunity to slip that Comedy i thought the show was lacking of (in the page, they say it's a Comedy).

There was a tad too much fanservice in this episode for me, but at least we got some decent character progression towards the end there. Hopefully they'll get back onto the main plot next week

This episode tried really hard to be funny, but it wasn't. It got repetitive and stupid to the point where it wasn't "so-dumb-that-it's-funny" but rather "so-dumb-that-it's-boring". Considering that this season is only 12 episodes (it has four volumes planned to be released, each with 3 episodes), it's a shame that they wasted an episode on an obligatory fanservice episode. Stuff like this is better off left as an OVA bundled with a LN volume. That's the best way to do things from a business standpoint.

Since I only read the first two volumes of the LN, was this episode content from the third volume, or was it an adaptation of a side story? If it's stuff that's in the next volume, then I guess Lerche adapted this to keep the adaptation loyal. But if this is an adaptation of some random side story, then Lerche's a dumbass.

i find the show's fanservice to be pretty hilarious tbh, what with all the girls having unnaturaly large breasts

anyway I think that at the very least it was a nice change, we got to see something more light-hearted because this anime is taking most things a bit *too* seriously (excluding the stalker incident)

...SUPER DISAPPOINTING....
How dare Horikita took over Karuizawa place like that!!!
Ayanokouji Support should and will always be Karuizawa's role and not Horikita...
This supposed to be important scene to develop the relation between the two characters.

Btw, I dont consider this information a spoiler considering the anime goes a very different route.
This is supposedly some parts of Volume 4.5 of LN... They decided to cut it out and put it in between volume 2 and 3, while replacing all Karuizawa with Horikita...
Man....I am super pissed....
Maybe Lerche plan for this episode before volume 6 so they dont know just how popular is Karuizawa, otherwise I think this is a very stupid move...
....sorry have to cool down a bit....

Bad episode, by far the worst so far. Reasons:

The episode was practically all around fan service. And "comedy" I guess. Bad, lame one.

No plot development whatsoever. Just a childish "prank" gone wrong.

I didn't like how it ended also.


All in all, crap. I hate when there's a good plot development and suddenly you have a fan service ep that can ruin the anime. 1 episode on a 12 ep anime can have a huge difference. Therefore wasting one like this is sad.

The worse is, the majority of the comments on this anime are all about boobs etc.. and episodes like this just aggravate the problem. Superficial bullshit.

Holly shit, that was terrible. Gamers level humour coupled with awful side characters probably nobody gives a damn about. It was boring, predictable, unfunny and basically a complete waste of episode. For fucks sake, even moron ending sentences with "de gozaru" was there, how low can you sink? Feels like a filler (i. e. anime original). And I heard they already cut off some important parts so the question stands, what the fuck anime.

Yeah, I found out later about it being from a side volume. And this adaptation changed Horikita's role in the previous episode too, so I'm not surprised that Lerche decided to give her the benefit in this episode too.

Well that was a letdown of an episode. It wasn't really necessary. And here I was thinking that finally Karuizawa would get more screen time.

Anyway, I don't see this anime going beyond 12/13 episodes so I hope they dedicate the remaining 5- 6 episodes to just Volume 3 of the LN. Read from somewhere (I don't recall where) that Volume 3 is too good to be squeezed into just 3 episodes so I hope Lerche doesn't rush things.

Producers are just too scared to make pool episodes non-fanservice episodes. Apparently there was genuine character development in this part of the story, but since this series only has 12 episodes and will probably not get another season, they don't want to invest any time in other characters than the main hero and heroine. Plus they don't want to piss off the fans who've waited for fanservice, which didn't even look good (everyone suddenly got huge racks). Chances are nothing really good will happen in the volumes that'll get adapted.

I'm sad they wasted an episode of a very likely 12 episodes anime with fanservice again (I like the girls' design but not when their boobs jiggle into my face while my ikemen either do nothing or think of some stupid plan..an anime like this doesn't need fanservice), especially after the ending of the last ep got me hyped. I really hope they put at least the MCs past into this season, otherwise I'm pissed because I really love him.
I like Horikita, but reading she got the lines from another girl pisses me off again because while I didn't read the LN I HATE it when anime studios do this.
Overall the episode was fine on itself, but a total waste of precious time.
Is there a place I can read the LN? I'm not gonna do it before the anime ends but in case I need more of MC...haha.

After last episode I was so hyped and now I'm just disappointed :( Too much fanservice for my liking, and I've watched A LOT of harems. Not many have such quality boobs, good for the guys I guess :"(

I hope next episode until the end of the show goes back to the main plot and does it well. Tho I have to say the last bit with Sakura splashing him was really cute. She's still best girl to me :D (she probably won't get much more character development though sadly)

I usually like the fanservice episodes and I liked that part, it would have been a shame to waste the pretty character design xD But the whole cameras plan was so stupid and boring, I didn't laugh any single time with that.

The scene of Sakura in the pool was the best, she's so adorable xD

LOL whats with the lots of hate towards the typical fanservice episode? is not like the whole anime centers on this episode lmao, is not like 1 episode would be enough to destroy an anime. A lot of anime like this one, has a beach/pool episode, is not such a big deal coming from an anime that has shown fanservice before (specially from a source that had a fanservice part scoring the tits of the girls if i'm not mistaken) The fanservice wasn't even that much lmao.

Nah. Fan service is fine. But the thing i freaking hate the most is they replace and give every heroine development to Horikita. Last ep is Ichonose and this ep is Kei. What's next? Horikita will knows the "white room" instead of Arisu?

Every school based show has a beach-ish episode too, so I dunno why people are surprised

If anything we can all take away the fact that this brought Horikita a bit closer to the main group as well as to further express how Class D will not stand by and be pushed around

This episode really feels like it should have been an OVA.

Maybe they wanted to do a cool down episode after the drama of the last few episodes but after the way last week's episode ended, I was really looking forward to seeing where the show would go from there. Instead, it was simply a typical "let's be pervs and peek on the girls" episode. It was decent entertainment but I would have liked to see the story progress....

That was bad, not Kyouka no Kanata idol episode level of bad, but pretty close.
The worst thing isn't even the fanservice, but the incredible stupid plan. They showed how intriguing and elaborate stuff can be in this show in the last episodes and destroyed the intelligent ideas with this kind of bullshit 'plan'.
Nothing in this episode made sense. The high risk plan made no sense in the light of the serious atmosphere of the show as a whole, it makes no sense that they ommunicate in morsecode like crazy (i know it was supposed to be funny) and the whole interaction made little to no sense, from the big dog meeting to the speech on the jump tower.

Just bad, really bad.
