THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This would have been a decent episode, even pretty good at the end, if not for the fact that they brought on the second-rate animation team. That alone ruined it for me. This episode suffered from poor character drawings and way too many distance shots.

The thing that bugged me most about this one was the fact that the girls were all clones. It's like someone just pasted on a new head and pattern on the swimsuit. :/ I know this is a shounen anime, but come on!

The only thing I noticed animation wise was the fanservice. I was much more interested in seeing Honoka make her move and lay down the gauntlet to Suzuka.

Yesss!!! Great episode, Akitsuki +1!

Thought that ending was done pretty well. Actually felt kind of bad for him, not going to lie. =p (oh and I didn't even notice the drop in animation quality that you guys are referring to lol)

Good god Akitsuki was getting cringe worthy there for awhile. Shocked he didn't gripe about being in the friend-zone since he's being such a "nice guy".

But seriously, I really enjoy this show. The animation is weird at times but it doesn't detract from the story at all.

I wanted to see Honoka and Akitsuki go alone to the pool but oh well.

Looks like Akitsuki is more cool-headed now with him just picking up the hints that he should just give up on Suzuka.
Last few minutes of the episode tugged on the heartstrings though.

God I hate that Honoka. Just how persistent can you be?
She annoys me SO much that I'm thinking about dropping the anime... -__-

Ey now, Honoka did nothing wrong, she's just a childhood friend that couldn't contain her feelings for Yamato. Suzuka is digging herself deeper when denying her feelings for Yamato also. The triangle is getting complicated...

I felt bad for Koyuki Hinashi but I don't feel bad for Honoka Sakurai. Maybe it's because I know who Suzuka ends up with.

The pool ep that i've been waiting for!
Miki & Honoka in there swimsuit <3

I'm cheering for Honoka that she 'kind of confessed'
Sadly it's a Siuzuka story...

Slowly we also see that Suzuka developed her feelings to Yamato.
