Dive!! Episode 2 Discussion (2024)

Stark700

Pretty much more of a buildup and training episode.
I'm starting to like Tomoki slightly as he's working hard to develop his skills. Out of all the main leads, I think perhaps Shibuki has the most potential and perhaps the coach realizes it.

The female coach, from the US, has unique coaching (but just teaching the basics), and she said the main guy has a body that able to dive well. Only he maintained the special training she gave to junior high combi.

The female coach recruited a guy who only dived in the sea, whose grandfather was a legend. So the female coach was granddaughter of the man who launched the club. His dive surprised the main guy.

25:05 next.

Tomoki's brother is interested in his girl. Didn't see that coming.

I've to admit that when I see Dive!! poster I route for the wolf-like guy, because of his appearance is so hot. But after actually seeing episodes as of now, Youichi has my attention. He has more depth to his personality than I thought at first.

Balancing three main characters will be the key for Dive!! success, and I see no problem so far. (As they already achieved success in novel and live-action version)

This coach is amazing, hot and smart. I'm loving her! This episode was more exciting to watch then last ... not just because of the coach... but just felt like their was more action? Not sure

Maybe I'm just liking the show better!

I like coach lady, she seems to be what they need. I'm much more interested in it now that it seems to be going somewhere.

Certainly an improvment from last week even though I still like the start of this series. I think it's all thanks to coach babe having a goal.

The new character is interesting. Looking forward to see more of him.

Decent episode overall, the coach is already pretty effective which is nice and the boys are more or less pretty determined to get a lot better too which is a good thing

The new guy seems interesting as well

Sounds like his brother is a jerk right back?

Poor buddy is going to have school friend problems.

Still hasn't really solidified if I'm going to be sticking with it, however.

If only you could see the world as it truly is! It is beautiful and on fire and awful.

And I agree with others that this episode was indeed better than the previous one, especially due to the fact it focussed more on the training aspect which I value highly about sports anime. I was also fond of the determination the charas showed.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

No Miu this episode but I find it obvious that Tomoki wasn't happy when his brother said that he'd rather take her away from him. Maybe Tomoki doesn't show that he cares but maybe he does? He took things for granted and now that he's starting to realize that he might lose her, he doesn't like it. As I said earlier, it'll either be that Tomoki will come around and still be with Miu or she will end up with his brother. I doubt the latter will happen but let's wait and see.

Boys checking out the ass of the coach is the best method the author could've come up with to proof nobody is gay in this show xD

thought Youichi is just teasing Tomoki again like what he did last week, asking if that girl is his girlfriend..
i bet Youichi knows Tomoki's personality through and through

I think Tomoki was just sympathizing when he founds out that he's seriously likes his girlfriend but it looks like she doesn't like him back.

I'm starting to like Tomoki a lot more since he's starting to show a lot of diligence and passion towards diving.

The coach is great, glad to see her motivate Tomoki. Double jointed eh? Tomoki shows a lot of promise. The whole 'View only you can see' reminded me of Haikyuu and DnA.

Youichi checking out the coach's ass was hilarious. XD

The new dude seems cool.

I don't think it was sympathy. To me, it looked like he was shocked and didn't expect to hear what his brother said. I doubt Miu likes the brother unless she and Tomoki drift apart eventually and then maybe... For now, I don't see Miu giving up on Tomoki as she seems to really like him and maybe that will make Tomoki appreciate and like her more.

I don't think that's where it will be heading. There's no interesting stuff between Miyu and Tomoki. Even let say, if their relationship improves, what about it? A girl who blabs about pastries and supportively cheers him in the poolside but doesn't really know any shit about diving... meh~

HatsumiShinogu

Miu is still a very young girl and it's true that she knows nothing about diving but that doesn't mean her relationship with Tomoki won't work. I don't ship it but I think their relationship can still work if Tomoki gives her some of his time, which he fails to do so at the moment. You can even notice that he returns his friends' calls but not hers. Well, maybe it's typical for a boy his age as he wants to spend more time with his friends and on his hobbies rather than with his girlfriend. Maybe he likes her but not enough. I really hope that he doesn't suddenly get jealous just because his brother starts to show interest in her.

the training and discussions about aiming for the olympics makes the entire episode more interesting. i quite enjoy the coach's characterisation - she's tough and driven. i hope dive!! continues to improve.

It was great to see Tomo work hard, by faithfully following Asaki's training regime. It's unfortunate that Tomo's school friends don't understand his passion for diving, so they were upset that he rejected their invitation to hang out... But Tomo probably isn't that close with his schoolmates, since he only has pictures of his diving friends in his room. :/ But I'm glad Tomo's diving friends understood him! :) They seemed a little surprised at first that Tomo was actually training, but instead of asking him something like, "Why are you working so hard?", they all agreed to sprint to the convenience store together and ate Popsicles. So, Tomo was working hard and having fun. <3

Last episode, I was hoping that Hiro and Miu won't date later, unless it's executed convincingly... So I wasn't surprised that Hiro admitted that he already told Miu that she should date him instead. If Hiro really does like Miu, it would make sense why he's been upset about Tomo's negligence, and kept nagging the elder brother to contact his girlfriend.

I'm happy we met Shibuki! Shibuki is so cool when he dives into the ocean!! XD He really does jump high! I look forward to seeing how Shibuki will improve his diving entries, and how he will bond with the rest of the Mizuki Diving Club. :)

It's great that we got some backstory about Asaki too: she is the granddaughter of the man who founded the Mizuki Diving Club. Asaki used to dive, ever since she was eight years old, and went to the US. She's now a coach. It's actually sweet that Asaki could continue diving, but is choosing to train the boys, and is doing her best so her grandfather's diving club won't close down.

It was cool to learn that Tomo is double-jointed, which means he'll definitely improve. Let's see how Tomo will reach to the top! I love our main character's determination to enter the Olympics. :D Thank you Asaki!

Hmm...I hope Youichi and Keisuke don't just talk about diving! >< It would be nice to see the father-son pair have cute family moments... Separate their personal and professional lives, basically. :/

The opening and ending theme songs make me so happy. <3 I was actually sad when this episode ended, since I want more, lol.

Tomoki really wants to develop his diving, as he was the only one who followed the coach's orders. He really is showing his passion towards diving, which is great development.

Yōichi is one of my favorite characters so far, he and his father seem awkward around each other. Seems like they only communicate when it comes to diving, the dad is more like a coach than a father.

The brother seems to like Tomoki's girlfriend and even told her that he'd be a better match for her than a 'jock'. Hopefully Tomoki just breaks it off with her, it seems like he doesn't really care, he doesn't even want to her to watch him dive ( ep 1 ).

We have a new coach who use to only dive in the ocean, an interesting trait don't ya think? Can't wait to see the next episode~
