| Really good and intense episode! :) |
| Well it was an intense "Makota x Haru" ep .... I mean come on I know it's "brofeels" BUT you can't say that Makoto is not eating Haru with his eyes . It screamed "love" |
| I rather liked this episode, and no, not for the almost-CPR moment. For the games they were playing and everything else, I liked most of it. XD Also very little swimsuit-fanservice or something. I was also a little disappointed at Mako's reason for being afraid of the ocean (was expecting something darker), but eh, to each his own. And considering I don't like yaoi, I'm just gonna take all Mako said as a friends-only thing, though they obviously thought of the fangirls when they wrote this. But really, I loved that one game part. Rei's name being on 3/6 spaces on the die. :'D I just love Nagisa. X'D P.S, yay for Rin with cute ponytail. (>w<)/ And that ending image was cute, they got so tan. XD (especially considering Nagisa is so pale like Rin) |
| Oh, but what's sad is I'm still "just checking the show out" to see if I would wanna watch it. XD Every time, I'm like "Lemme see just one more episode to decide..." and now I'm like "Oh crap number 6 is halfway through the first season..." I'm such a doof. XD Feels like it's too late now. ;w; |
| Nice episode. The preview hints about the start of the focus on swimming. Will Rin win this time? |

| Mid-way through the episode I realized that Nagisa has the same VA as Izumi from Love Stage! and now I will never be able to look at Nagisa the same way again. XD Decent episode. The almost-mouth-to-mouth part was unnecessary, and the "I want to swim with you" comment from Makoto to Haru sounded almost like a weird love confession, lol. |

| That CPR tho. I now ship MakoHaru. Also, the ending card is just so... asdfghjkl-- |

lightXTC said: EratiK said: Not a bad episode, but I think a threshold in gayness has been crossed. I agree. I wasn't particularly fond of this episode. Seriously, go to hell with that gay thing. There's nothing gay or yaoi in this show. |

| the scene with the stars was breathtaking. <3 idk, i'm not a big fan of makoto. to me he is the most boring of all of them. a bit irrelevant. but it was a very nice episode. i've always loved nagisa, but rewatching him is like... he's one of my favorite characters of all time now. <333 |

| Trauma? Poor boys!!! When all start to be better, give us another comun episode!!!! :( |
| I almost shed tears 2 times here, damn |
 "Please stop talking about math when I'm eating." |
| I like how this show handled the friendship issue. So, we know why Makoto is scared of the sea. Decent explanation. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| At the end of the day, the interesting part is limited to a few minutes: Makoto's past is shown to us in part. Episode that abounds with fanservice and comic moments, but that also bored me a bit. |
 |
| So much implicit gayness in this episode... I can hear female screams in the distance... Honestly, I was expecting a bit more from Makoto's phobia but it wasn't that bland either so I guess I can understand him. All in all, it was an OK episode and it seems the next one will be focus on their first competition. This event definitely made their bond stronger so let's see if their efforts will pay off. |
| It's quite clear that Haruka and Makoto are canon. It's good to see that everything worked out. That rest house proved to be rather useful, and now we know why Makoto is afraid of the ocean, but he's slowly getting over it. |
 |
nice episode with backstory & some slight development for Makoto. |
| Ngl I think makoto’s backstory is a bit lame. Like it was just a random old guy? And he was never actually in the ocean himself? But it was cute seeing everyone’s reactions Also that end card <3 should be illegal <3 Edit: lol I found my original reaction to this ep. some things never change xD but I am less of a rin fan girl he’s kind of a jerk >.> laputia said: this episode was so cheesy xD Makoto's backstory was pretty weak but Rin's ponytail makes up for everything ^^ |

| I'm glad the guys are okay. Makoto's backstory was a bit underwhelming. I expected it to be more sad and tragic, but oh well. I really liked the whole lighthouse segment. |
 |
| Rei is for refriger-Rei-tor had me dying lmaooo Someone should've told Ama that they went to save Makoto and Rei. This episode was the funniest one so far! I love this anime so much. I thought Makoto's fear of the ocean was going to be due to something worse than that tbh Taking a nap after swimming on a beach is so nice. |
