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 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.

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 |

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

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.
