Well that was fun, I really am enjoying this show.

Spoiler for ep 2:

I really do think that the 'Haruka gets his kit off to reveal his swimming trunks underneath' is the running gag of this show.

Kou stole the show this week. I'm grateful for her presence. Makes this less of a sausage fest. The teacher is pretty entertaining as well. Other than that, this ep was nothing special. Just your typical "let's create a club!" ep with a little bit of drama on the side (the stuff pertaining to Rin and his butthurt). Pretty enjoyable as a whole.

I like the teacher and Gou but you just know that these characters would still be females if this show was a typical Kyoani moe girl show.

Yeah, I can't help but think of the teacher as an alternate future for Yui Hirasawa...

I enjoyed this episode much more than the first. Sure it is stuff we've seen before and Rin's reason for acting like a jerk was predictable, but I found it well executed.

More importantly Rin and Haruka actually showed slightly more personality than being a jerk and general disinterest. Rin looked like he was tearing up at one point and I swore Haruka smiled...a vast improvement. I also laughed when he tried to get in the fish tank.

So far Gou is probably my favorite character so far though. I like the teacher too.

Yeah, that's my guess too.

I'm guessing that Rin's pissed at Haru for throwing off the race so Rin could win so now Rin wants a challenge and beat Haru on merit. #theory

LMAO at Kou checking out Haru. DAT ARM!

I'm enjoying the show, and the characters. It looks like I'm the only person who actually likes Nagisa just the way he is. :P

Nagisa, and Gou's Bug's Bunny/Daffy Duck routine was funny, and I'm liking Gou a lot more after this episode. A woman after my own heart.

Earlier someone mentioned the OTP was Haruka X Pool, more like Haruka X Any body of water, considering how willing he was to get into that fish tank. I can imagine you could get Haruka to do just about anything if you told him he'd get to get into some water afterwards.

Getting better

Finally we got some glimpse as to why Rin behaves the way he is. I know it hurts to lose to your best friend, but to Quit swimming completely? It's this part of him that i can't still understand yet. Here's some hoping there will be some more explanation about him in the future eps

The only thing that disappoint me is the absence of the last guy (The glasses guy). It's already 2 eps and the swimming club is already established, why only have him appear shortly? I thought he was going to appear at the last couple of minutes to surprise us, sadly it didn't happen.

And Kou . . . oh Kou, your reactions toward those healthy muscles was so hilarious i couldn't stop laughing

The first episode was very fanservice-y, but I'm pleasantly surprised by episode two. Somehow, I just feel like they had more ... character-side of things? I adore the teacher and Gou. And seeing the bits between
Spoiler for Episode 2 spoiler:


Looking forward to next ep

OK, just this one:

That's the basic idea. Typically when girls enter primary school they'll be called "-san" (by those who bother with honorifics and are not close enough for -chan). It's a way of treating them as young women, like the old-fashioned way addressing young females as "Miss Firstname." (Well, it's old-fashioned where I live.)

This is very typical, though, and even in anime it happens all the time, so it's not just Free being weird. (Most recently in RDG: the boys are Sagara-kun and Manatsu-kun, but the girls are Suzuhara-san and Mayura-san.)
Interesting. Does the gender of the teacher matter? Because I've seen a lot of teachers use -kun for both boys and girls, but I think that's always been male teachers. I asked about it before and was told it's a way for teachers to keep a hierarchy in the honorifics while remaining distant from the female students and not being overly familiar (which -chan would be). Is that correct?

Goddamit Kou, why you so insistent on the well being of your brother?

Oh well, at least it's pretty much confirmed that (in the words of Konata's dad) she is not just a brocon, but ALSO a brocon. Sure she worries a wee bit too much for her bro, but she just can't resist the temptation of the triceps, now can she?

But yeah, Kou = best character in the show. Holy crap, her antics...

Girls (or at least those I know IRL) are turning in either for the manservice and/or the BL possibilities. Het romance is like the furthest thing in their minds.

Me on the other hand is tuning to the show exactly for that reason. So I think you got it the other way around.

Oh boy. That's going to be the basis for a lot of doujinshi, probably.

Hmm i don't think she cares too much at all; not quite sure where you got the impression. I think she just misses the person he used to be.

Haruka's immersion fixation is so extreme that I am thinking of Marat. Minus the skin condition and the stabbing.

I cracked up at that fish tank scene! I know Haru really loves swimming, but I'm beginning to wonder if he has a mental issue or something.

I don't think he threw the race, at least not in the usual sense. We know that Haruka gave up swimming competitively after Rin lost to him that year. During this recent race between the two, as Makato says, he not really trying to do things competitively anymore, he does it because he enjoys it. He not trying. So when Rin won, he didn't win because Haru purposefully slowed down or messed up or anything, Haru wasn't even trying from the beginning! That's why Rin is so pissed off.
