Haha this series is so funny...

Best line: Hanai "I bet everyone else has plans, so let's invite Yakumo-san!"
Harima "Man, I'm free all the time these days!"

Tenma reminds me of Otani (LoveCom) in her denseness... although she's not quite as stupid as he is. O_o

I like the blue-haired guy.

I can't believe the teacher actually went out with him. Why did they bother?

Oh man I laughed so hard when she heard him say he liked someone.

"I'm glad I was born stupid." <-- XDD NICE Harima. Yeah, just because your crush is also not the brightest one around... And I loved the part that showed that he still has his animals with him, haha.

I like Nara... I hope Tenma ends up with him, if this series ever does have more serious moments, I hope they involve those two. :x I felt bad for Nara when the three guys he didn't want on the trip just happened to be in the room when he walked in...

Wow, Tenma's dense. ("Good luck even though I don't know who you like!") But she's still great~

All of the girls sinking to the bottom of the pool=EPIC FAIL.

Just as Nara is about to get in with Tenma, she remembers her feelings for that stupid kappa, Karasuma. I swear he has been trolling throughout this entire series...but it's pretty funny.

And through the agony of it all... he was thinking "God, please stop..." LOL

This episode totally rocked! From the girls who doesn't know how to swim, Harima x Tani-sensei's moments and finally to Harima's and Nara's inner monologues. More than one posted it already but yes it was golden indeed!

Why do I think the beach episode in this show will be so much better than it normally is...probably because I can't wait to see how Harima is going to screw up.
Please don't feed the trolls!

Let me guess, the fact that Harima will go to the beach to charm ''the one he loves'', that will create misunderstandings with Eri, right? I wonder, it's a bit too predictable.

I feel so bad for Harima, tho. No one, cares about him :(
I hope he pull out a ''Ryuuji Takasu'' with his class :D
If only he could get closer to a few people...

I didn't expected the three of them to not know how to swim o.O
I guess beach is the perfect occasion to learn.

Looks like Nara is starting to fall in love with Tenma. Suou likes another guy who we don't know. I can see a love polygon starting to form in this series. Everyone seems to like someone else.

Karasuma isn't as dense as he looks. He gave Tenam the kappa costume because he thought Tenma was being upset that he was leaving. That was nice of him.

lol, Eri is still mad at Harima about what happened before.

Sometimes a feel bad for Harima. Nobody invited him to the beach till the very end. I widh him happiness. He's such a great guy. Tenma now knows he likes someone but is too oblivious to know it's her. Baby steps I guess.

I knew I recognized a couple of voices in this episode! Out of all of them, of course, it had to be Todd Haberkorn, before he was Natsu, and Jerry Jewell, before he was Lyon. :) I also recognized other awesome voice actors as well, but they're not so hard to figure out.

Another funny episode with a nice build up for new chapter :)
what I like about this anime is that when a character screams something out loud or does strange move it is not forgotten and commented by other characters ;] It is not common in anime and I like it, I have raised my vote from 8 to 9 ;] hope it won't drop in the end.

Poor Harima strange that such a delinquent cannot be heard in the group, where is his scary presence? :D

Oh and I like pool episodes ^.^

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I like all the different swimsuits the girls are wearing. I particularly liked the school swimsuit with the name plate. I wish someone had gone down the water slide though.
The return of the kappa costume! I'm glad Kenji finally got invited to the beach.

"more ugly than my friends?" Are you kidding, Tenma? She may not be... clever, but still, Tenma >>>>>>>>>>>>> Akira (seriously, what did those three random guys see in her? She doesn't even have interesting topics to talk about, as she demonstrated)

i remembered Nara Kentaro and also him having a soft spot on Tenma, and at least he's straightforward into asking her to go on a date, but unfortunately she just has tunnel vision for the wrong guy. Oh, well, the swimming match had a really opposite outcome compared to expectations. That was a nice detail i couldn't recall any more, especially considering how Akira is treated as a almost mary sue.

The teacher accepted "Harima's" invitation to the cinema ...what? That made me laugh more than i actually wanted to admit. And after that, he goes around the city with that much animals?

Oh, whatever. When he pulled off the screen the "bad guy" imagination, it was such a funny meta moment, something expected from Gintama more of less.

I'm glad Karasuma isn't invited, he's just kind of a boring dude.


Yes... yes.

I called it! I called it on the fact that teacher picked up on Harima accidentally sending him the love letter in this episode! Oh my god and then Harima accidentally takes him to the cinema to see a film! I was in stitches at that part. God I love this show. Just so many golden moments in this show plus the moment when Naria is trying to get other people to join him at the beach and one point Harima just goes: “Thank God I was born stupid!” and I’m just like: XD!

I could literally write an essay about Harima, cuz he’s so funny. He really is. Such a great episode, such a great episode.
