| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Heh, the fan service went over the roof this episode with the first half. Not surprised since the guys went to take time to relx in the Hot Springs. For once, they're getting along better thn usual and enjoying their time. The bigger competition and games should come soon enough. |
 |
| Episodes like this should be compulsory in every sports anime, but especially longer ones. COUGHdaiyaCOUGH It's not just "let's get everyone nekkid", it's "let's get everyone nekkid and act like total dumb gays". Don't tell me it doesn't add to the characterisation too. xD Absolutely perfect. |
| God bless the animators for the Hot Spring scene 😍 Omfg, I can't believe Yasunari's family thought Yuu was his girlfriend haha I'm not gonna lie though... I actually ship Yasunari x Yuu hehe |
 |
| ah so this is the male equivalent of the "casual molestation in the onsen" that happens so often with female characters jungsae said: “my parent had no interest in me, i never knew how it feels having someone who's happy for me, until natsusa”  damn I didn't even realize how sad that sounds lol the perfect line to say in a rom-com |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| that was quite the fan-service at the beginning, although I'll be forever tilted at the lack of nipples on shirtless guys in sports anime. It makes their bodies look like Ken dolls. An overall lighthearted episode. Did Yusanari's family seriously think Yuu was a girl? They seem to be the new ship now, the anime kinda ditched the Natsu and Yasunari ship. that scene with Ibuki and his melodramatic mother came out of nowhere. Once again there was no prior build up he had family issues with his mom and older brother? I guess the whole point was to show he would still stay on the rugby team, but it seemed a bit unnecessary. With this anime having such a large cast, I completely forgot who that purple haired guy was; who was with the three guys on the bridge. And were we supposed to know who those two guys were that Natsu was surprised to see at the very end? It's hard to keep track with all these characters. |
| Did I miss something about Ibuki's mom? What did she do to him? |
| The manservice hits the roof with this episode, a trip to the hot springs, plus those unnerving shots of goodness. Clearly Natsusa is having the time of his life teasing the others, but clearly towards Ibuki more. For Seiichirou to have succumbed through the happiness and hardship of Natsusa's change last episode, he's taken one step forward. For Yasunari to bring the tomboy Yuu home...WOW really driving the "relationship" to that state for comedy. But Ibuki and his "melodrama" of a family felt very forced, his reasons to stay in the rugby team rather than following family traditions with Natsusa. The seniors' side, they're really VERY carefree and does things differently than the rest. But those characters that Natsusa coincidentally know in their trip...who are they, and what are their relations to Natsusa? Very light-hearted episode. |
 |
| I'm not even going to bother with the childish mindsets of some commenter here and there this time around. Compared to the rest, this episode felt almost boring. I mistakenly gave 4/5 but meant to give a 3. The only interesting parts were the short-lived deepenings of Sei's and Ibuki's backstories. |
| BUBBLE SIX PACK LOL |
 |
| By far the most unrefined episode thus far. The weird moment with Ueoka's mother entering the scene for a hot minute felt tl gimmicky and loaded to unpack in a mere 2 minutes. A lot of loose ends I hope will be tied up in the upcoming episodes. But nonetheless very fanservice-y and fun! |
  Although we part as I leave for Inaba, —Hyakunin Isshu (小倉百人一首): where pines grow on the moutain peaks If I am to hear that you pine for me I shall come back to you again Poem #16 "Tachiwakare"© |
| This anime just gets gayer with every episode, lol. It's not bad, but it's not exactly entertaining, either. |
 |
| OMG so much happened in this episode. The lowkey softcore hentai at the beginning, then Yasunari bringing his husband aka Yuu home, then Natsume throwing shade on moe characters, Sei admitting that he is in love with Natsu, and finally after bullying him for 20 minutes straight Natsume protects Ibuki. Damn, I love this show so much. |
| Kyahhhh!!! Yasunari x Yuu ship is sailing lol they even mistook him as a girl hahahah |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| Didn't expect Ibuki's mother to be so dramatic, I wonder what's the deal with his brother though since Natsusa has stated in a previous episode that he hates him. |
 |
| Does Natsu not like Ibuki? He seems to not enjoy it when he touches him but allows Seichi. Double standards Natsu also butts into the conversation between Ibuki and his mother who wants the best life for him (university and work balance) Natsu was heated for no reason since Ibuki was already intent on pursuing the sport in the first place. Decent episode but the onsen scene and sauna talks... |
