| Even in a CGDCT show like this, there's the usual beach episode that is just unavoidable. The New-Gen team girls have their Summer vacation in Okinawa, and Coach Yoko is not leaving things to chance: the posture trainings...and a new choreography to a new Victory Dance. Manaka and Ayaka's grandmother's odd part-time job for the girls to do their trainings and what-have-yous, this vacation isn't all just fun and games. From the beach (Manaka's childlike thinking to flambe her fanservice) to sharing horror stories, and visiting an aquarium (that is clearly an ode to Aquatope) to beach volleyball, the girls are definitely having their moments of fun (that is clearly an ode to another C2C produced show: Summer 2018's Harukana Receive). Kaoruko feels off this episode, and being a goalkeeper / goaltender with a lack of communication, I'd say she's the soft-spoken of the group. Being the one always led by the Mizusawa sisters, and learning to lean on her voice, it's good progress. Enjoy while you can, girls. |

| CGDCT without a beach episode? Obviously, that's not gonna happen. It was nice to see the girls having fun together.  |

| Beach hockey! Never expected an ice hockey anime in a landlocked prefecture to have a beach episode. But hey... It's CGDCT and nothing can go wrong with a beach episode in Okinawa. Just enjoy the beach and their swimsuit. They also have visited Gamagama Aquarium, actually, it's DMM Kariyushi Aquarium. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Lot's of fan service this episode which was nice. Anyway it was fun to see the girls going to Okinawa to work and have fun it seems they really needed it. Koaruko overcoming her shyness was also a nice thing. Still the coach was pretty strict giving them a training regime over the summer, but hopefully it will pay of for the girls. |
| The impressive part of this episode was, even this being a hockey anime, the girls were really playing volleyball, not still shots. Beach episode for the win! |
 |
| Great episode! The inevitable beach episode has finally arrived. The grandma's friend's voice actor doesn't really fit imo xD. Kao got instructed by the coach to use her voice more to bring the team together and tried practicing that at the beach. The girls also told scary stories and of course Ayaka was the only one scared lol. Beach volleyball looked funny and Kao finally used her voice which helped her and her team a lot. 'Kaorun has awakened.' We also got to see Mami for a bit. looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| beach episodee alert! they just played beach volleyball and Kaoruko is trying to improve by speaking her voice out. I can see the characters finally developing which is a good thing. I am waiting for the battle and victory performance. |

| Oh that's surprising, no hockey this time but they had a good time in Okinawa enjoying the beach and playing beach volley, the pink-haired girl kinda mentally struggled because she need to be more active especially in her cheering and voice volume but well it ended good for the episode anyway, nice "filler" overall |
 |
| For anyone confused when the Coach told Kaoruko to work on "Her Trunk" it's your core muscles. The exercise she was doing was called a "Bird Dog" and works your Spine, Abdominal muscle, and your Glutes. Would have liked more Kao development but I was okay with this episode. The animation was great. |

| I liked this episode. With the warm beach setting, I forgot it a series about hockey for a second lmao. I like the more relaxed vibe this episode had compared to usual and imo, the animation really shined during this epiosde (more than usual I would say) |
 |
| this really is a CGDCT foremost and a sports anime second if you had any doubt out of season beach episodes always mess with me because it's almost winter but enjoy all this summer fun also leave it to anime to once again give everyone upgrades because it's a beach episode animation caught me off guard this show manages to look kinda nice at times |
 |
| Well that's a really nice way to start an episode ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). Pretty good episode! Glad Kaoruko got some focus this episode. Inb4 Yoko wanted Kaoruko to speak up more so she can get better at singing. I wouldn't put that past her lmao. I really do like how the show is not all hockey, it has variety and flavor. Perks of being a CGDCTH show, Cute Girls Doing Cute Things and Hockey. Nao continues to be super adorable and best girl, though I like all of them. Also nice to see Mami again, we'll definitely face her team later on. Looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| So far so good for me. Manaka is too excited to go to the beach. Naomi finds the little eels cute (she wasn't really a quiet girl, after all). Ayaka still scares of ghost (even from the lame ones) Kaoruko is kinda off after telling her she has to communicate with others (but Manaka assures her of what she is really capable of) Riko and Yuu - had edgy skills to improve with Can't wait for the real fight this time. :) |
 My main candies:      Bonus Candies:  |
| beach event out of nowhere in this episode and also Mami scene out of nowhere. lol I mean, she is ignored for 4 episodes and no scene (as long as i remember) about Manaka or other girls communicating with her. Is she the main character or not? Off-screen too long. lol Anyway, Kaoruko is the focus in this episode. I'm not really feeling about it. Because they discussed while wearing a swimsuit so i can't focus on the topic. lol. And beach (or summer? ) event as a side-focus. The swimsuit they wear is plain but that's what I like. a standard, no embroidery/motive or other things, just one color. (White bikini is like underwear, lol) Overall, at least the girls having fun. |
| Yay! |
| Kaoruko acted like total idiot without any reflexes and fucked up the volleyball game. She needs her arc so let's make her incapacitated for one episode. |
| Intense "Harukana Receive" memories I got from this episode. God, how I miss that show. |
| I kinda expected since they do ice-hockey that they would have a training camp at some cold region and totally not Okinawa, well at least we got the BEACH EPISODE |
