Nice, we got more divers making their appearance this episode.

Looks like the crew had fun with what they're doing. Plus, Teko understands Pikari more now. The "panties" part was funny, loved how Pikari tries to act like nothing is happening with the "monkey girl".

I thought the pool training part was fun too, glad to see Teko getting into the flow more.

Deko's first dive and it seems it didn't go without trouble but she managed to overcome them with some help.
The misunderstanding about the underwear was funny.

Well it makes sense that Teko'd be scared during her first practice. I couldn't stand it were I in that situation. But Pikari being there to support her made all the difference, so sweet. :)

It's important to give both main cast more screen time so they swap half part of episode 1 & 2. For this episode, if they don't skip 'that' chapter this episode will become a filler.

OMG 1 a.m. Stay up late just watch Amanchu and rewatch one more time before going to bed! Whoop!

More and more lesson learned from the episode. Teko really need to get used withi that little water in the goggle.
Looks like 2 monkeys and 2 Kappas from back. Kappa for "Green" Pikari and Monkey Pikari's diving buddy's head shape. Just for joke, though.

Teko is so delicate.

I like how scuba diving has facilitated their bond. They already trust each other with their lives now.

Decent episode.

Great episode again, I absolutely love how Pikari and Teko's friendship unfolds and deepens every episode. I can't help but smile as I watch them.

The misunderstanding with Pikari mistaking the Mask for her pantsu was hilarious xD

Teko was scared during her first session, Interesting little background on her character as well. Really loved how Pikari reassured Teko and motivated her to not give up on diving, So sweet of her :)

The underwater scenes are really relaxing and just pure bliss, Think I'm gonna go swimming tomorrow morning. XD

AOTS. I can really relate to Teko, and to see her overcome her fear, and to not give in so easily was fantastic. The water looks beautiful as always, and their frendship/ chemistry is always a blast to watch. I haven't eagerly anticipated an anime this much since Erased.

Literally no one cares about manga order.

This is an adaption not a carbon copy of the source. As an anime viewer everything felt fluid and natural. Why bring the manga in this?

While following the order is nice,this is only a 1 cour show, f they didn't skip some chapters that are not as important, we'd miss out on some important chapters, so in my opinion they are doing a great job.

Another nice episode! Pikari worrying about her pantsu was funny and I loved seeing Pikari help out Teko when she was feeling scared. I also am loving the underwater scenes, they make me want to go swimming!

I thought Ai would be a tsundere (judging from twintails and her pose) but nope, she wasn't like that at all! at least so far. I wonder how aggressive her personality actually is 'cause she was pretty chill so far. The nichan wasn't as meek as I thought he would be either.

"You can do it if your try. But if you don't, you won't be able to do anything." That, and the animation which went along with it--superb. I really love this show a lot... the way they handled Teko's anxiety, brilliant. Just amazing.

10/10 again, this is a masterpiece. I love everything about it, everything. I adore Pikari and Teko's relationship.

Great episode, it really flew by. I usually don't use such strong comments to describe something, but it was a pretty breathtaking episode. Lotsa more to come.

Pikari and Dotty's relationship be progressing well.

Okay, I guess the twins are ACTUALLY introduced in the next episode then. G'damnit

Man, this just keeps getting better with each episode. That entire scene towards the end with Teko and Pikari diving together, combined with the music, gave me goosebumps. This show really knows how to end an episode.

So Futaba's diving lessons have started and she is finding the buddy system cool. But the diving part is turning out to be a bit too difficult. She's starting to have second thoughts about this. She thought diving was pretty damn cool, but didn't expect it to be difficult. And she gets even more scared when she thinks about what would happen if the same mask troubles were to happen if she were 10 meters underwater. And Pikari comes to give her some encouragement and takes her by her hand underwater and even goes deeper.

That was all nice seeing Futaba overcome her fear and going for it. She had a habit of leaving things which were too difficult but she is actually going forward here with Pikari's help. Although it felt a bit rushed. I think it would have turned out a bit better if she had given up today and then come back next time with Pikari's pushing. This was good, but could have been a bit better imo.

Teko is me. Great handling of Teko's fear and anxiety, this is one of the things I loved about the manga, the recurring theme of Teko overcoming her self-doubt. She's a much more real and relatable character than Pikari, whom I also adore but isn't really a realistic character to me.

What a lovely episode... and so so relatable! :'D (Well except for the pantsu bit XD)
Nice to see the mask clearing bit underwater too... I remember how annoying the water was in the mask, and how scary it was to lift your mask up underwater to clear it... like what if you were 18m underwater and all the water just rushed into your mask instead orz... so scary lol
And the heavy gear. Omg. I feel like I'm watching myself in the form of Teko XD

Favourite episode so far, it's just getting better and better. Definitely one of the top anime of the season~ I'll have to check out the manga too :D

Another great episode. It's so relaxing, especially with Teko's inner monologues. And the episode didn't go by without a little light hearted comedy.
The visuals make the whole thing look a lot better as well.

4/5, pretty satisfying so far.

Though I am a cynical bastard, I am always drawn in to healing anime such as Amanchu. It's nice the way diving is used to show how Teko and Pikari bond as friends.

The pantsu error was funny. At first I thought it would turn out that redhead girl has the same taste in underwear as Pikari, but when the truth is revealed I laughed.

For the 4th time I'm saying this, what an amazing episode filled with healing, amazing art and values in life.

Man, just seeing Ane-chan finally being animated is just pretty gorgeous, Love the way they animated Pikari's reaction to that "pantsu" and the misunderstanding throughout that part is fcking gold moment.

I also love the way Teko and Pikari change their hairstyles throughout the series so far though I pretty much dig Pikari's kappa hairstyle throughout the manga.

Really love that Pikari's statement on the 2nd half, never give up on something that you really like just because it is really hard for you to do it, if you do, someday in the future you'll definitely regret the chances that you may had made on that time if you really tried. Don't be afraid to fail on something that you really like since its purpose in life is to be a learning material to motivate yourself to be better and through countless efforts of trying is the recipes of success. Remember success is not given it's earned. Just watching Teko seeing the beauty of underwater is just the result of never giving up.

Healing anime/manga really are the ideal genre of fiction. I can go through all the epic adventures, space operas, war series, works of philosophical genius... Yet nothing can compare to the beautiful mundanity of the utopic everyday in shows like these. I'd even argue that the non-existent conflicts/negativity type of living in series like this are the dreams of all humans. People just want to do/learn stuff, enjoy things, and be happy (even if they have trouble realizing it, admitting it or acting on it). Convolutions, stresses, and obstinance make such an unnecessary mess of everything.

Lovely as always, looking forward for knowing more about the twins, they seem nice.
The pantsu part tho, had to bury my head in the pillow to not wake up anyone.
Pikari and Teko's bonding is getting stronger and it's so beautiful to watch.

This ep also reminded me of when I was young and trying to learn how to swim and the water kept getting inside my mask, it was really stressful so I can totally relate.

LOL, Pikari thought it was her pantsu but it was just the monkey headgear of her co-diver friend Ai.
4/5.
