Hikari and Futaba's chemistry is just too sweet. Hikari's jump and landing was strangely amusing.

Good episode. Really glad they introduced the cat and more scuba gear too. The tranquil feeling of the episode is very satisfying.

Another great episode and another trip to peace which was nice.
I really enjoy this episode even tho only two episodes are out.
The race was funny as well.

I really love this show, and so far I actually prefer it to Aria. It's such a great slow burner of a slice of life show. Pikari dragging Teko to the pool was hilarious and the episode had a lot of small pleasing moments. It kinda depresses me how low the mal average for this show is so far.

These last 5-6 minutes were breathtaking, got goosebumps from that. The ocean/pool/diving scenes will be the best thing about this series.

Futaba is just gorgeous and majestic.

"Deluxe Special" seat? LOL
Hikari's weirdness uniqueness is fun to watch ever since first episode. And now she's having it with the teacher. AND with fellow divers too.

Kohinata's race with sensei was badass! And that hug?

HNNNNNNNNNNNNG! XD

The girls looked stunningly beautiful in the cherry blossom filled pool, but then they always do. Well...Pac-Man head moments aside. XD

Beautiful episode, The final minutes were really enchanting.

Chuckled as Futaba was watching that ladybug xD
Loved that little race between Hikari and sensei, Was hilarious at the end. Laughed so hard when Futaba ended up taking a picture of Hikari in the sky.

Lol at Hikari dragging Futaba to the pool. She's quite the free spirited one.
Futaba looked gorgeous in the diving suit <3

The pool scene was just beautiful, I have no words to express how awe inspiring it was. From the moment Hikari reached out her hand all the way up to both of them floating in the pool with the cherry blossoms. Stunning animation and just all round captivating from start to the end.

Can't wait to see how amazing the diving scenes are going to be.

Nice episode. Happy to see Mato-sensei's and Pikari's race animated lol

Guess they're keeping the little bits of diving trivia and what not as well, which is pretty cool.

The last few minutes of the episode were sweet

No, the poster definitely said PALAU, although the figure on it in the manga looked like Akari, while the figure in the anime appears to be some random blond woman.

the foot race thing i do as well lol, i tend to walk fast so when somebody tries to pass me up i gotta out walk them.

Enjoying this show so far and it's pretty to look at, the goofy faces crack me up too and when she constantly says WHOOP, it makes me laugh so much.

This show is very relaxing. I loved the last few minutes of this episode especially, with Pikari introducing Futaba to diving. It was also animated quite well, I loved the shot of them floating with the cherry blossoms in the pool. I also liked Pikari's jump and how Futaba ended up taking a picture of it.

Another fantastic episode. I didn't like the chibi faces in the first episode. But now that I think about it, it suits Pikari's personality very well. And this episode had good light comedy, as well as beautiful art and animation. 4/5 for the episode.

I still find Hikari's chibi faces jarring and even creepy, but aside from that, this was a big improvement over the first episode. I wish the rest of the show had the tone and atmosphere of the last 5 or so minutes of this episode.

This anime is so refreshing, I absolutely love it. I'm just sad not many people are watching this anime, but ohhh weeellll. It's the anime I am most looking forward to watching out of all the Summer anime (and of course The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.)

Funny race between Hikari and Sensei.

Nice to see an actual hug. Often in anime, one person is hugging while the other person's arms are hanging limp. It looks awkward.

Sweet episode. Futaba is opening up a little.

The face deformation is killing me. More than half episode with stupid faces is too much. It's much more creppy than in Aria. I know it's style of the manga artist, but it's not fitting at all to this anime.
I'm a little pissed off, I mean, I love the pacing, I love the general art and animation (yeah JC Staff did their best and the scenery is just unbelievable wonderful) but those faces are totally MEH. Especially if we have really beautiful character projects.

I'll agree that the chibi face is over used. The character detail is outstanding otherwise, especially how detailed the eyelashes are drawn.

Alright episode, nothing exciting though.

I like the way that Pikari is gradually drawing Teko into diving and the way Futaba is missing her friends, but is also realizing she has a friend in Hikari, though a bit of a wild and unpredictable friend.

Ha so much anger over the chibi faces.
Wondering how much longer people will keep commenting on that because they aren't going to go anywhere.
I understand though since Amano's character designs are amazing so that it almost feels like a waste when they aren't drawn naturally.

These facial expressions for Amanchu will fucking kill my entire computer xDD and People complain so damn much on them, now I get that they're annoying but they're pretty much worth for some editing in photoshop. And yeah I screenshot a lot, so I guess its to be expected.

Btw this episode of Amanchu was soooo much better than the first imo. Though I got eased down after watching it :x

The OST playing in the second half in the pool scene was fucking great.

Really liking it so far! If you're familiar with scuba diving it makes it even more exciting too. Really liking the chemistry between the two of them. The ending half is so relaxing and tranquil. Relative to some users here I haven't watched much anime yet but this one gives off a totally unique feel to it.

JC staff is doing such an amzing job adapting this!
It makes me really sad about all the people that are hating on it because of the chibi faces and the fact that it has such a low score
Hopefully it goes up soon, as this is an anime deserving of a score above 8 :)

Oh man, that pool scene was like a dream. mad beautiful dream.
I knew if we get to the water, i will enjoy the show twice or even more then before and it is true. fantastic use of pool and great adaptation of the manga. i just loved every second of the pool scene.

The chemistry between the two characters is amazing.

Cha is adorable too. hehe.

Still a 10/10 for me.

And march towards best series of 2016 goes on.

I liked chibi faces - they reminded me of Aria and fit very well with Pikari, she is such a dork.
Dotty is adorable as predicted, some nice development.

Also part of show known as "let's learn about diving" is here, I really liked those details.

Damn, this could turn out to be my personal AOTS. The OSTs, OP/ED song, the scenery, art and the characters are great. That race with the sensei was funny but the second half was phenomenal. Definitely looking forward to more of this show.

Oh yeah, they are certainly using those chibi faces a lot but I think it's easy to get used to them so it shouldn't be a big issue. Don't know why it's such a big problem for everyone else.
