EPISODE REVIEWS

Pobre Kazuki, ella solo quería quitarle carga a su hermana, porque sus padres se ven medio negligentes, aunque Hatsune dijera que solo era algo reciente, pero en el primer capitulo se ve a Kazuki y Hatsune todo el rato en la cocina, y Hatsune no parecía especialmente preocupada porque ellos no estuvieran como si fuera algo normal. Me desvié el punto, el caso es que es muy noble que Kazuki se esfuerce tanto en alivianar la carga que su propia hermana asumió al cuidar de ella y la natación como vehículo de superación es bueno.

What a beautiful, and well put together story this one was. Taking a break from the slapstick to focus more on the dynamic of the two sisters is a refreshing take. The animation of the water, and the flow of the race were nicely done. The lucid moments of Yuuji bringing Kazuki to her senses were a nice touch as well, showing us Yuuji is always in her corner cheering her on. Even Yuuji can have moments where he can say the most uplifting things sometimes. Love the way Hatsune was taking things all in stride, I guess the swimsuit she had prior was used as a prop and not for actually use in the water.

This episode featured many enjoyable school interactions that added a fun and lively atmosphere to the story. I really enjoyed seeing the characters connect in a school setting, making the episode entertaining and engaging to watch.
