Whoa, this episode was intense. I mean, if I was stuck in the storm like that in the middle of the ocean, I'd be screaming my lungs out as well.

Well, this was almost a CPR. ALMOST:


Good thing Rei was saved though. Ah, that was a close one. Mini Rei is also kawaii imo. Just saying. I just love the bro bonding of this episode :3

Fear comes again at the important moment. The main guy and cute guy, who woke up later, had to save both of them. They got separated when saved. Yeah, I thought that some fans would get excited about that almost CPR. Makoto's confession about it has to be the main guy together. Later they are at an island and ended up in abandoned Rest House. Eating, then horror tales. He's in love with water, as always. So many comedy even after that intense. The reason behind Makoto's fear revealed. Wow @ that reflection. They swam back and slep on the beach... lol @ Mamo's character there.

Preparing for the competition after the trip. (lol @ that preview narration about Mamo's character's embarrassing moment)

Such high waves! It's unbelievable they survived. I was going to say "May their souls rest in peace" to expect Rin to take over the series as one and only male lead. I was disappointed at the reason why Makoto had a fear of the sea. Is it possible one has sea phobia due to such cause? I had expected more direct experience, like an MC of Ordinary People had, behind the phobia. I expected the show to turn out dark and serious, but it wouldn't happen as always with Kyoani.

Depiction of raging waves was very impressive and realistic.

Makoto did you just hide a confession under the pretext of swimming? You sly dog you....

The back story behind his fear of the ocean was a little weak imo

Aw that was a nice episode. Glad everything was alright, and lol at Makoto, Nagisa, and Rei getting scared in the lighthouse and Haru was so chill about it. Ew at the pineapple mackerel though...the backstory behind Makoto's fear wasn't as sad as I thought, but I can see why it could traumatize a little kid. Gotta love Makoto saying all those lines about wanting to swim with Haru and the team :) That starry sky scene was beautiful too, and even magical when they looked down to see the reflection of the stars in the water they were standing in. And as always, pretty bgm.

I now love Haru even more after this episode if that's even possible ;w; How much he cares about Makoto is just adorable. And just how much they all care about each other I just *drowns in own feels*

The almost-CPR scene *sighs in disappointment*

Pretty much everything Haru says is hilarious. With his mackerel obsession and his "love story"

I can't even think right now, all I can say is this episode was great and I can't wait for the next.

The scenery was beautiful with the stars and stuff.

Love at first sight xD

But, anyway, this was a good episode, I'm glad we got to learn more about Makoto and his fear of the ocean, it must suck having to be reminded of a past like that. Also, I'm glad that CPR didn't happen, that really was way too close. And it seems like the tournament is going on next episode, it's awesome to see the actual plot moving forward :)

wow INTENSE
i don't think I like the CPR scene b/c it seemed to me they used it as fan service and not something that could have potentially saved Makoto's life...

Those whole light house seen was great and we got to see some nice bonding time. It was very amusing seeing Rei hide behind his kickboard (what a dork)

Makoto and Haru had a little eye to eye moment, aww.
They where scared of going into the rest house? Seriously, don't freak out like that, they should be happy for being lucky enough to find a place for the storm.
I lol'ed at the story about Haru's first love.
Nagisa did a great job on lifting the mood. He's usually a little too upbeat but in this situation it's good to have him around.
Small Rei and Makoto are so cute <3
Rin went out to check on them <3
The girls will never know what happened that night.

I want my own Makoto Tachibana packed and delieverd in less than 24 hours.

He's such a nice guy and a good friend. The way Haruka worried about him was adorable too. They're such best friends I'm going to cry. (dat mouth to mouth scene though for a sec there i was like damn kyoani u doing it then they like naw we ain't)

Swim team bonding <3. Haruka's love story was so him. Rei is too cute honestly. I thought he was going to be a really serious character but he's just a big dork. No wonder Nagisa loves messing with him (refrige-"rei"-tor, god that was so hilarious).

Rin was worried about them that's why he ran by the beach at the end. He's probably too stubborn to even admit to himself that's why he did it though. Rin can't you see how much fun you could be having. Rin pls.

Not the best episode for me. And the fact that I'm not so fond of Makoto (and his unhealthy obsession with Haru that is striking even more now) didn't help at all. Hope to see lots of Rin next Wednesday, 'cause I've missed him this week.
Nagisa, I'm sorry for not loving you from the very beginning, you're awesome.

I don't know why but I really enjoyed this. I think it's because it was more slice of life-y. Also Makoto best free
