I know it was more so in the background, but the scenes with Ryu formulating the plan to add padding and Taiga staying up late while he worked were really cute

It was going to get a 5 out of 5 stars...until the scene where Takasu stuffed his hand in the top of Taiga's swimsuit. I know he meant well... but no matter how close they are, no go should EVER put his hand in a girl's top, unless she has given consent.

Apart from that, I loved the realness of this episode. The fact of the girls pointing out their flaws. They're all just some of the flaws that I've pointed out about myself over the years, some that I still do from time to time. And even those same swimsuit struggles can still be real today.

So it was nice to see the characters go through it too. Felt like I wasn't the only one.

Ami is being even more of a jerk than before, and I felt pretty bad for Aisaka in this one, especially with Takasu yelling "UR FLAT CHESTED??" Like, ffs dude :(

That was pretty shocking, it definitely wouldn't fly in real life but I understand it in this. I'm sure she probably would have taken that over getting embarrassed like that while Kitamura was there. At least our boi Takasu knew it was a last resort, i wouldn't have been surprised if Aisaka drowned him after something like that haha.

This might've been the cutest episode so far. Seeing Aisaka being more thankful to Takasu especially made me really happy lol.

I just thought it was a little to sexual. I know anime can be pretty weird when it comes to the sexual part but this one is for 13 year old kids.

One thing we should also consider is that this series is about 14 years old and the underwater scene will probably have been perceived differently than we do now. Same with these older James Bond movies, where 007 can be quite "persuasive" when he's with a girl, which now would probably be considered more like abusive behavior, right?

What a wild pool episode. Though I like the wrestling moves in pool. Reminds me of the time I went to a water park with my friends.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

yeah, i knew, she knocked too hard and one more fatal time at her window.

Damn, Ami returned gaslighting immediately and going to the pool (yeah, noticed it's already summer uniform time) couldn't have happened at a worst moment.

Come on Ryuuji, Taiga is barely above 140 cms, are you surprised she is flat too?

"obviously i beat the hell out of everybody at the photography club because of this picture" "uhm, yeah, so that's why it disbanded"

"i've been hard to approach during the last days, i'm sorry" lol, just the last days? And now i'm asking which retro console stand-in is she playing.

well, what was she thinking about going to the pool and lowering the guard with Ami? It was obvious she was going to bully her. Also, there was no teacher around, giving Ami a deserved punishment? Too bad Taiga can't even blackmail her with photos and impersonations. Not the best episode, but the sudden cliffhanger can be interesting.

Taiga is desperate because of summer, she is embarrassed to show her board, Ryuuji at least helped make a cilicone, but it almost went bad. How bad Taiga was flying, poor thing, she's short and still doesn't know how to swim.
I liked the episode, it was funny. that model made an invitation, Taiga's reaction wasn't the best.

Finally we see the more relaxed side of Taiga, though i'm sure it would quickly disappear if you played tetris with her.

Ami seems to be getting more confrontational, i guess her development from the previous episode disappeared.
