| Stop being a little bitch Haru |
 |
| What the fuck is everybody's problem? Haru doesn't want to swim competitively. Leave him the fuck alone about it! I don't get why everybody is fucking throwing a hissy fit about Haru. All this "find a dream" crap is really vague and doesn't sound like something normal people would be talking about, let alone screaming and fighting over. "You need to find a dream!!" .... what? Huh? What the hell does that mean? Why is everybody screaming over nothing? Not having solid plans after high school is probably something that like, 70% of teenagers go through. It's not a huge deal. I don't understand why everybody is so fucking spastic about insignificant things. Why does everybody feel that it's their place to tell Haru how he needs to be living his life? And it's all about fucking high school swimming too. This is not something that's worthy of shouting and tears. The world is not going to end because Haru doesn't feel like swimming a damn race. This show is the definition of fucking melodrama. Overreacting to stupid shit that makes no sense and doesn't mean anything. |

Like Red_Keys says 70% if not more just dont no wtf they wana do with there lives and yes maybe half if not lower of that percent dont like ppl telling them what they should do and giving blind advice because it doesnt help and comes off as annoying. Its up to the person in question what he/she wants to do and no one i mean NO ONE has any say in that matter. |

After I Crush Your Dreams...... Your Bones Will Follow...... |
| That was really great. Even Sousuke wants Haru to carry on swimming for Rin's sake! Awww. Nice of Rin to whisk him of to the land of Oz to change his mind lol. |
 |
| "Going where?" "Isnt it obvious? Australia" somebody tell me how is that obvious LOL? so you just wake me up and im still there in my bed head and yay lets go Australia. Genius! XD |
| How do I signature? |
| Omg the Makoto & Haru scene at the end was so intense...Haru needs to stop being so stubborn and bitchy! Makoto is the best, he's so loving & caring...Haru why you gotta hurt your friends like that :'( |
| The lead is pretty pathetic. I see everyone doing something but him. Not that he should do what he doesn't want, but everyone needs to build their future. What are you, Haru, 7? Intense episode though. |
 |
| This was one never ending episode...I always liked Haru but now he's going on my nerves. He should change and fast. |
| Everyone's is carried about Haru's future..aww :) |
| Haruka .. such a drama king |

deliciouscheese said: I think Haru's behavior was really reasonable. He's trying to think things through on his own and everyone has their own ideas for what he should be doing (and only Makoto really made it about Haru and not his swimming for someone else, hopefully Rin makes it about Haru too). I started having an anxiety attack just listening to these guys - it's really tough when you know big changes are coming (as most everyone knows) and for some people the pressure just keeps getting piled on and on the more that people try to help. I really sympathize with Haru, it takes a lot out of me when I have other people trying to help me with decisions and direct me. Then your mind just keeps getting wound up with all these things you want to say and all these thoughts and ideas and plans and you just end up releasing it all through lashing out and yelling. He needs space and time and a comfortable place to think things through. Ugh this. Everyone shitting on Haru need to take a step back. Haru's extremely awkward and change is terrifying for him. His friends supporting him are making it worse for his pressure - not better, of course he'd lash out. |
| I think Haru's reaction was predictable, but it doesn't make it justified. Even if he is having trouble figuring out what he wants to do after high school and swimming in general, if he at least talked to his friends about it or looked to a guidance councilor or something, people wouldn't be as worried. But he just walks off or sulks whenever someone wants to talk about it. I think everyone tried to give him space, but since his attitude is now effecting his team and nationals, it's become a bigger issue. |
 |
| Come on Haru...stop acting like a child that thinks everything can stay like this forever and grow up already. |
 |
| That Makoto and Haru scene though. I can totally relate with the pressure and all >< |
| Going to Australia after waking up isn't obvious, Rin. But bringing Haruka to Australia was kinda nice for you to do. TragicRomance said: True that.Future fish felt so misplaced... |
 “Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
| this hit a little bit too close to home and left me bitter. i mean, i was once standing in haru's shoes and now, ten years later, i keep coming back to the same place. not having a dream. not really wanting anything. meh, life sucks. ); |

OrewaDoitsu said: I wonder what Rin and Haru are going to do in Austrailia. Rin and Haru? Really Haru? If you're watching the sneak peak about the next episode, can you not spoil it here, since not everyone watch them. And the episode was okay. I just thought it would be impossible to like Haru less and less. I understand he can't handle the pressure about making decissions for the future, and not everyone even likes doing that. But he should rely on his friends a bit more. I understand it's a though situation to be all alone (his parents are away), everyone keeps admiring and praising him and yet, he still doesn't know what to do or how to find the things he'd love. But that's no excuse to treat people the way he does. |

| Haru's being a bitchy drama queen. |
| I like Hentai, you like real life. Instead of complaining about my tastes, be grateful you now don't have to compete against me. |
| Everyone who want's to punch him..I cant imagine any of you having friends. You dont just physically abuse someone because they lash out at you especially someone who typically is very reserved. |
 |
| Yet another painful to watch episode...this is seriously hitting too close to home. It's also really sad to see all the negative comments about Haru...sure, he's not reacting appropriately to everything going on in his life but he's obviously in so much pain right now. To let his recent behavior affect your entire opinion of Haru is disappointing, given that this is obviously outside of his character. I feel like the ending for this season would've fit better for last season...it's too upbeat and fun sounding when all the characters are strugging with uncertainty. I really like the song, though. Ah well, the preview for the next ep gives hope for Haru having a realization. |

| When Rin is 'that perfect boyfriend' who could travel with you all around the world only to make you feel better lmao. |
 "Please stop talking about math when I'm eating." |
| No action in this one but still plenty of development. Everyone's trying to convince Haru to keep on swimming, but what does HE want to do? That's essentially the big question here. Of course I get why his teammates would want to encourage him, but even Sousuke too, even if it's just a roundabout way of caring about Rin lol. Makoto's going to Tokyo after, instead of what I thought would be doing swim coaching or something. Finally next episode though we get to see Rin and Haru ... going off to Australia a week before nationals?! Dang lol, I didn't think that would happen! I thought Rin was just considering going back after grad and that's what the ticket was for lol :P Either way, I'm glad to see the two of them together since we haven't seen them interact much this season. I mean I guess I'm biased since I like Rin the best so ... :3 Also the past couple of episodes every time the ED plays I'm like, this is way too happy and excited for what's happening LOL XD EDIT: Also I forget if it happened this episode or before, but why isn't Rin swimming butterfly at nationals and only freestyle? I thought that at regionals he was super far of everyone else ... makes no sense O_o |

| I actually thought this season might be better than the first, then I was reminded how dense Haruka is... |
| I'm hurting right now... Honestly, episodes like this are the episodes that I enjoy the most (even though in this case it just hurt my soul because DAMN the ending!! But I guess it's good because it made me excited to watch the next one :P) |
| Oh, Haru have a big problem. He doesn't feel free anymore. That scene between Makoto and Haru was intense. I think that Rin will take Haru to Australia by force. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| I can understand Haru's anxiety about his future but his reaction towards his friends who only wanted to help him was really disappointing to see. Not to mention that this situation also makes me feel bad for Sousuke since as someone said, he would kill to have the opportunities Haru has. Of course Haru, despite having the aptitudes of becoming a profesional swimmer, can refuse to take that route but he NEEDS to take that decision and stop postponing it. That said, I hope Rin can talk some sense into his head with this sudden trip to Australia. |
| Haru appears to be very confused, and doesn't seem to know what the right thing to do is. Makoto tried to talk to him, but Haruka didn't care to listen. After Makoto told him that he was planning to go to college in Tokyo, Haruka acted like he didn't care, but I believe that he does, but didn't show it at the time. Can Haru be helped? |
 |
| Momo really is sweet to Nitori and an all around positive dude! I really hated how Haru just laid into Makoto, as Mokoto is just all caring and giving and non-confrontational. Then of course Haru is devastated after Makoto's news...Oof. |
| Haru really needs to think about his future. If he doesn't his friendship with Makoto could be over. |
 |
| So much drama again. All that yelling in this show is sometimes a little hilarious. Rin's taking Haru to Australia? That was an unexpected plot twist. |

| Now that I am watching this as an adult I realize how free yet chaotic it was to be a teenager. I wish I had friends who backed me up like this too then. If so I wouldn't have been so hurt now. |
 |
| I love Momo he's so much fun. Also possibly the cutest in swimsuit... This show really shines when two guys face each other having a discussion- About serious shit- no less. Sousuke admits to Haru that his career is over; Haru doesn't even ask why, which is not surprising; but just like Rei inspired Rin to see who was important, Sousuke says the same to Haruka. Although Haruka is a selfish bore, I will say it's great that he never- or rarely- turns down his friends when they want to go out and do something. It's also good that he doesn't tell Rei to shut up. But his habit of constantly turning his back on people and walking away is a bad choice. Sooner or later, even the best friends will give up and move on. They'll accept what you tell them. He is so immature and selfish and keeps pushing people away. Fucking idiot.. Of course next episode they'll still try to track him down and convince him again and again. Just let him go. Let him compete in these club races til high school is over, then he'll be a loner with nothing who does nothing. Don't fucking care. Makoto, Rei, Nagisa, Rin, Nitori, Momo, Sousuke, they're all good guys with talent and dreams and I'm glad to see what they do. I could'nt care less about Haru, full stop. 5/5 |
