| Until now, Godai has done everything for himself. He's been earning money, going to school, and trying to get closer to Kyoko. Yet he never looked out for anyone else. It was sweet of him to take Kentaro to the beach, and it made for a heartwarming story. Is it too early to pair Kentaro + Ikuko? haha edit: The next episode does just that. Too cute! >< |

| Mitaka got raped by the dog ! MUHAHAHA!!!!!!!! |
Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites. |
| hellogoodbye is right, IMO; it was really nice to see Godai even suggest taking Kentaro to the beach, without any sort of 'hidden agenda' or anything in doing so. Seems Takahashi has a thing for making characters deeply afraid of common household pets. (Cats in Ranma 1/2, and now dogs...) |
| The best moment :) "woof"  |
 |
| Who woulda thought pretty-boy has a fear of dogs? Seeing her drive home was funny xD |
| El Psy Congroo まだまだだね!!! |
| Lol at Kyoko driving hahaha |
 |
| Just the image of Godai carrying a giant limp dog across the beach made me laugh the most for some reason. |
| Quite a good episode, I'm surprised Mitaka didn't annoy me much. |
 |
| Yes! Mitaka has a dog phobia! Not so perfect now are you! >:) Really glad that Godai didn't do anything embarrassing for once ( must be 'cause the tenants weren't there lol)and that he actually was nice enough to take Kentarou to the beach so that he could have some fun in the summer. It was also fun to see Godai being upset with Kyoko ( he has feeling too, y'know!) P.S. That boy actually has a dad?! I thought he was "out of the picture" lol |
| Tennis guy hates dog :(((. Poor guy.. Leaving children alone on beach. Very matue. :D KYOKU CRAZY DRIVING. What a woman! |

| Ryuunosuke's father from Urusei Yatsura made a brief cameo sweeping up in the beach parking lot parking lot toward the end. |
| He was far older, but had the same outfit. I guess I could see that kind of change in almost 10 years. |
| This is a rather sweet episode and the first one I really liked. Godai seems like a major prick based on the beginning episodes- though I feel that is intentional for character growth later in the series. This episode is the first where we feel he is a really good guy- he feels bad enough for the kid based on his own childhood experience to invite him to the beach. I'm expecting to see more moments like this from Godai in the future- hopefully executed as well as in this episode. |
| probably the best beach episode i've ever seen |
| Kyoko does a 180° turn when she's behind the wheel. Great beach episode. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Mitaka x Soichiro confirmed If Godai wants to become her husband, he should learn to drive, otherwise he will have a short life... |
 |
| The comedy worked and it ended up being a quite sweet episode, more of this please. If it wasn't more obvious he had no chance with Kyouko how about being afraid of her pet? :F His rivalry with Yuusaku has been entertaining. |
| Great episode the comedy was on point. |
| This ladykiller dweeb is in the way!!! Good thing he’s scared of dogs. |
| Ah! The good ol' Beach Episode! Surprisingly, that Mitaka guy wasn't as annoying as the "rival characters" who usually are in many anime. I guess it was probably thanks to Souichiro in this episode. Let's see how the next one goes! |
| And there it is, the staple of every anime show - beach episode. Trains EPs 8/96 In total 18 (+1) |
| I found this beach episode being really good, I don't mind the extra rival lover, he is adding some fun to the show, putting Goudai working for it, and it was funny to see his reactions to the dog. Seeing Kyouko driving like that at the end was scary. :DS |

Ethan348 said: Surprisingly, that Mitaka guy wasn't as annoying as the "rival characters" who usually are in many anime Felt the same, the dog definitely helps, it is because you can see the character weakness and vulnerability, and from that comic scenes came, so you kinda end up finding him less annoying, and more of a comic relief, along Goudai. |

| I'm glad that somebody feels the same way. I currently have the anime on hold at the 40th episode. I guess I'll continue watching it now thanks to you replying to my post. |

If anything, there are episodes further in where this is rivalry actually feels like bullshit, but that is could also be attributed to the shift writing for the Kyouko, which is she accepting things that'll don't make sense. Her writing can be really dumb, but I think that is a biproduct of this being a rather old series, and it being like that, back then. |

| haha man it is so over for Coach, solidly crushed this ep and can't ever seeing him scoring any wins ever again, she loves that dog! plus he's lucky he's still got a car in one piece speaking of One Piece, that straw hat blowing off into the sunset looked like it could be straight out of One Piece |
| Beach episode. Kyoko looks sexy |

| The best episode so far! Shun + souichirou = best duo, he just doesn’t realize it yet 😎 |
🌙  I wish you an ounce of luck |
| On this cold winter night, I find this beach episode especially relaxing, it makes me look forward to the summer, even if in the summer I’m looking forward to it being cold again lol. But yeah this was a fantastic beach episode, I like that it all began from Yuusaku offering to take Kentaro to the beach with no ulterior motives whatsoever, probably the nicest he’s been in the show so far, of course Kyoko eventually became part of it but it was really just sweetening the deal this time around, and boy did she look nice in that swimsuit, some great moments with her too, I thought the bit where she thought Yuusaku was touching her in the water was especially great, wasn’t expecting Yuusaku to get actually mad but he got over it fast lol. And it was this episode we learned that Mitaka is afraid of dogs, so this is the first crack in the perfect man lol, and there were some great bits regarding this reveal, I can tell these two are gonna be a great duo going forward. And lastly, damn Kyoko would give me a heart attack with her at the wheel lol, she was burning up the streets driving like that, but that is a funny trait for her to have, I wonder if we’ll get to see her at the wheel again after this, surely in 80+ more episodes it’ll happen, I just fear for whoever is in the car with her lol. |
