Soundtracks in this show are awesome. chaanxxxx said: No. no. no. I heart began to race when Rin and Haru did their race. Me too! This is why sport anime ftw! chaanxxxx said: and omfg that cute moment when Captain was calling out to Gou OMFG he is superr cute!! ; u ; I think that I'll ship them now. At first I thought that the capt was just a flirt, but he turned out to be a better character than I thought he'd be. |

beersandsmiles said: I seriously didn´t expect that ending. Did haru lose the race on purpose? Maybe, that would set him free from having Rin's anger and his own guilt directed at him. But would he let his team mates down like that? |
| im not upset rin won, just upset at how he was acting at the end you can pin point the exact moment haruka starts losing his shit..... quietly lmao "pocket sweat" |

D: Plot of the double-sided start introspective and quick change of pace to give us the action I desired so much! * _ * Narration interesting, do not you get bored, except when there are coaxing the kohai Rin! LOL Design, colors and scenery, good! BGM excellent! Kou, MC of the episode! ROTFL |
 |
| Damn what an episode, especially that ending! Shit man lets see what's next! |
 |
| Best part of the episode: the dub step. |
 |
| Dat muscles *_* Oh, Kou.. I just miss that fangirling expression Dat sharp teeth (Fangs only) Revenge in the Medley... Looks like they'll have their revenge in the Karaoke xD |

| The episode was good! I liked it! Shed some more light on Rin's background! It was really sad to hear his story, pretty dramatic especially when he said that he's father couldn't achieve his goal because of him! Kinda makes you wonder if Rin feels responsible for his father not being able to realise his dream! >_> But the way he treated Haru?!!!! The hell was that??? (⋆ˋ⑉̈ˊ)൭൭⁼³₌₃ Rin!!! You ungrateful person!!! I really didn't like the way he behaved....to me it seems like he totally used Haru for his own selfish reasons - aka to move on after winning against Haru! This is just not right! I don't like that! I bet he's been pestering Haru over and over again if he had actually lost just to make Haru race him until he finally wins! Of course, I'm not denying Rin's hard work! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ From that point of you, I do agree with his victory but his attitude is so (◣_◢) AAhhh!!! It's seriously pissing me off!!! PS: I hope he does have a good reason for being such a douche!!!! |
| Finally some tension. probably best episode so far. |
| Really enjoyed this episode. I felt genuinely happy for Rin when he won, but why does he gotta be such an asshole geez. |
| Wanted to punch Rin for being such a brat and poor sport. I kind of felt sorry for him, but now I'm full team Haru! |
 |
| I can't believe Rin's dad also died on a fishing boat, after the last episode and the same story lol. Seemed kinda lazy, I know it's dangerous but still ... Gou's reactions lol. I can't believe Rin beat Haru in the end and knocked him out!! |
 |
| I really don't understand why is Rin so angry and why is he so mean to Haru...He could've meet Haru in the finals, not kick him out in the beginning of the tournament... |
| THE END CARD THIS EP WAS SO NICE AHHDLFKSJLSDKJF The captain in the background too LMAO |
 |
| *Dramatic dubstep intensifies* Gosh that swimming was actually way more tense than I would've thought. That anime could actually be excellent if it focused more on the sports aspect. Anyway, a bit of insight on Rin's motivations is very welcome: that dream sequence was on point. And lol Nitori, it's way too obvious you want the D. Goddamit, Rin. We know you won, but don't be such a jerk about it. Haru is broken, now. |

 Oh, the tension. Oh, them feels... I expected Rin to win. He had to win to be able to move on. But I didn't expect him to be that cruel. Actually, at the end, when he called Haru's name, I thought that he would show that he put the past behind and he would give Haru his hand, to help him get out of the pool. No such luck, I guess. Naive me. |
| Haru lost to Rin. Rin will never swim with him again. Pretty good episode. |
| Dreams are scary crap. Poor Haru. Rin didn't have to be such a gloater, not when swimming is Haru's life. |
ohmfg Rin.. |
 |
| Hmmmm Rin finally beat Haruka.... Wonder What'll happen next ^^ |
| Finally competition :p I don't know or i'm happy or sad , i was for both of them |
| Rin's shark teeth are bugging me. |
| (I'm finally committing to watching this show~ ^^) That. Was. Awesome. .o. Things got pretty intense, and LOL, poor Rei, not getting any sleep. XD Poor Haru too. D: He looked like his world shattered when Rin said that. |
| No that was plain cruel, Haru looked so crushed. :( |
| Haru lost? What kind of sorcerry is this? It was all a dream. Yes, a dream. Haru can't lose. |
| The feels when Rin visited his father... *sobs* Oh well, the animation during the race is superb. Too bad Haruka lost. |
 “Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
| Ooookay, Rin is damn childish. I really don't like Haru. He has no personality at all. And I personally find it very boring how some characters are always the best without even giving much effort. Like Haru, who haven't race for couple of years. He's been just swimming normally and enjoying the water itself. But Rin has been studying a lot but still can barely defeat Haru. I know some people have a natural gift, but in this show it's boring. |

| wanted to throw a shoe at rin's douche face. on another note, of course kou doesn't give mikoshiba the time of day, he wears speedos. ew! |
  |
| What happen this anime? We can watch the first swiming-pool race serious, and length 30 seconds!!! 7 episodes waiting this time, when Haru loses, and finish in a open and close of eyes :( |
| So, Rin's father died the same time when that grandpa, who makoto liked so much drowned in a storm, right? This competition is cheated. Haru had like... second possition and he doesn't go to the finals, and before they had said thet 8 best times passes. |
| Rin-baby you did it! ♥ |
 "Please stop talking about math when I'm eating." |
| This episode was intense. Rin's father died. Haru lost to Rin. Kou was funny in this episode lol. |
| 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 |
| Compared to the previous episode, this is much more interesting and engaging: we know the motivations of Rin in beating Haru and the atmosphere before the start of the tournament is great to create the right pathos. But I did not like the ending, they could avoid the one at the end of the race between Rin and Haru, oh well! |
 |
| Gou sure is a very capable manager. Probably my favorite character so far. Good episode overall. Rin received the background information he so much needed and although I find his fixation for Haru rather... excessive, I can understand his motivation at some point. |
| Rin lost his father in the typhoon that sure hurts and at a young age like that. |
| It sounds like Rin's father died in the same typhoon that the old man who gave Makoto the fish died in. Haruka lost to Rin, and Rin really rubbed it in his face. How badly will this affect Haruka? |
 |
wow, crazy episode. I wish they showed them swimming more though |
