So what does /cgl/ think of swimming anime?

I want to do it just for shits and giggles but I feel like a lot of tryhards would be buttmad if I did.

As a diehard fujoshi, I loved it.
As an objective anime viewer, the animation was nice, but it's obviously a little shallow (ha ha) in terms of what the plot is going to offer. Either way, I'll keep watching it - hopefully I'll see some decent cosplayers at AX.

The difference is that unlike K-On, this is going to be a massive flop, unless it attracts deviants (that is the growing number of ugly male tweens & teens who, faced with the impossibility to get sex, either choose to be "gay" or to identify themselves as a "woman" for an easier life, since the young generation is actually encouraged to do that).

If it was for a female audience only, it would starve to death after a few episodes.

Get FUCKED, libshit. You can keep pretending that faeries exist in your loony bin, but what I said is cold hard facts, and I am pretty sure that the creators looked at it just as I did and knew this was a huge risk (which is why, originally, it wasn't even meant to exist as an anime -- probably the huge portion of wannabe-faggots and transdeviants changed their mines).

Those two side guys act way too much like high school girls. Though agreed with >>6950915 I ended up laughing way more than I thought on the blatant pandering like the fact they are way too ripped, the skinnydipping and the apron-over-swimsuit bit.

I feel like this idea started as a girl's swimteam anime and then they just decided to go with something different.

It's just dudes real eager to whip off their shirts and go swimming. Not even a speedo in sight. I've seen skimpier swimwear on chicks in anime that wasn't even about swimming.

That said, kinda disappointed at how subtle the fanservice is, but it's definitely there and the sheer amount of enthusiasm these guys have for swimming is hilarious.

Hiro Mashima reads some forums or something in English as he replied about the next chapter of Fairy Tail in English on his personal twitter page. It was a total letdown though as he killed off an awesome character to fix everything else.

Except she didn't, and even that image spreads that the series is popular on the overseas chan board. Just because people over here read it doesn't mean anything to the animation studios or publishers. Western importation of Japanese books is one of the biggest niches when it comes to the anime and manga community, even if a majority of it is from buyfags in /a/.

A few of them are cute twinky looking guys. A few, myself included, are the typical tall ottermode guys with wide shoulders.

One claims to be some hotshot swimmer when he was like 15 but he's the slowest on the team so I guess that counts.

Another guy doesn't talk much and when he does he looks at his feet and sorta mumbles. I think he's shy or something.

It's pretty much exactly like Rin and Makoto right now. There might be a Nagisa or Haruka on the team but I only really talk to those two guys.
