See that puddle of goo over there? Be careful not to trip on it. It's me. I will now watch this video 50+ times without stopping.

P.S The song is the PV sounds beautiful. Is it going to be the ED for the new season? Embarassed

The song is Ever Blue by Style Five. It was used in the final episode of the first season, I believe.

Ah, thanks. The first part of the video sounded familiar(but when they started singing I was lost). Time to check it out.

Why does ANN keep reporting, in their Free articles, that Haruka is the one who creates the swim club and recruits Rei? That's nearly the opposite of what happens. Haruka doesn't want to make a swim club, because it's too much of a pain. Nagisa is the one who pushes for it, Haruka eventually gets on board, but once again Nagisa also recruits Rei. Please get people reporting on anime they've seen, or at least get the facts straight.

On a lighter note, I'm very excited for the second season!

I am the one who wrote this article. I have seen all of the episodes. I apologize that this description is not satisfactory to your tastes. However, technically, this is what happens in the story without going into extreme detail.

Also, if you have a critique, could you please make it more polite? I would really appreciate it. We always are grateful for your support!

You're writing a news article for a popular site; your readers deserve to have an ACCURATE and NOT MISLEADING summary. Someone is telling you that you got several facts wrong in your summary, so take their advice and correct them. It's not "technically" what happened; Haru DIDN'T create the club.

The entire point of the series was to restore the friendships that were lost, not make it sound like Haru gathered up his posse to go whoop Rin's butt :/

He did, along with his other friends. Sure, he wasn't captain, but he was one of the main figures in making the club. It's not misleading information.

I really hope we get a few middle school scenes or even a middle school OVA. I want my shota Frees.

I'm sorry if I came off as harsh, but the article is very misleading. "Technically" that's not what happens. Nagisa comes up with the idea, gets the paperwork to start the club, Makoto becomes the club's captain, and when Nagisa says Haruka could be vice captain, Haruka becomes annoyed and says not to volunteer him. He only ignores it when Nagisa said it's just a title and he won't really have to do work. Haruka agrees to join the club, but misrepresenting Haruka as some shounen-hero character who recruits his friends and fellow classmates to create this amazing club, is incorrect. The series focuses on Haruka's rivalry with Rin and their falling out, but the club only exists because each member (Makoto, Nagisa, Kou, Miho, Rei) put work into making it happen.

Without going into extreme detail, Haruka begins competitive swimming again when childhood friend Nagisa proposes the idea, and along with Makoto, they begin the Iwatobi Swim Club.
