Meh, an episode of swimming mixed with horror. Tbh, I've seen this from many series or movie before - the classic evil popping from the waters. (except this one is quite ugly lol)

Mermaid fish monster thing kills the promising young swimmer.
Maybe his desire to swim fast brought it there.

That was probably the ugliest mermaid I've seen.

Lol, another funny episode. They're even getting lazy with their monster designs.

This was probably the most disappointing for me in the entire series, lol.
But I guess I had high hopes because there's so much you can do to creep me out when water's involved.
Wasn't even as funny as the rat monster either, aw..

I guess this was average..not too bad, not too good ... the producers at least tried something ... hope that they can show "something" in the last one next week

Free! meets Yami Shibai. xD
Well..the best thing about this episode was the hair design in my opinion. I feel they could have done so much but the mermaid was terrible and she didn't provide even a tiny bit of a jump scare.

Just wondering when they decided to turn this into a comedy instead of a horror short series.

Oh, my! I'd freak out, too if shed hair were all over my hands and body. It feels gross. Get it off.

Also, that thing looked like Beetlejuice when he turned into a snake.

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

Honestly man, I was thinking relatively the same thing. Like why didn't he climb out from the side? Out of all the episodes, I feel like this might've had the dumbest capture only because everyone else were either caught off guard or had no way of escape. This guy had time and a better escape route than swim to the other end of the pool. He has no excuse.

Yeah, that moment pretty much doomed the episode, not that there was much going for it to begin with. I guess the water effects (not the splashing mind you), was pretty good for this show.

The edge was right in front of him... He could've gotten away before that hairy merwhale reared its ugly face.

A hairy mermaid lol like others pointed out he had no excuse dying there, he could've escaped earlier instead of running in the water

I love haunted pool stories, well actually, body of water ghost stories, in general, are pretty creepy. You never know what's below the surface
