No. The first episode's premiere airing coincided with a special broadcast featuring Satou and that stream was not region locked.

So does everyone stealing make that any better?

also the shows pacing already has some fairly major problems and this doesn't really help

And, it shall be glorious to see Eru in her bikini. Very much looking forward to this bonus episode.

At least it's a different take on the beach/onsen/water park episode where the character at least go to a municipal pool instead.

Oh look, another topic where people complain about fanservice in anime. Can you guys just give it a rest already? I don't go into every topic about josei and other anime I don't like and complain about it, so why do you feel the need to constantly attempt to derail these topics?


It's not the fanservice that bothers me in this case, it's that they could've used this episode to expand on the story in an interesting way....and didn't.

Especially when KyoAni is not known for doing fanservice episodes that often.

How do you know that? The script is based on something the author of the novels wrote as the article states. It could just be some cute little side-story and that's it.

Do you know how many times in K-ON they went to a beach or a water-park?

If it's something the author did, that's better...even I've written gratuitious fanservice side-chapters before.

I've put this show on hold for the moment (since episode two actually), but I mightily approve of shirtless Satoshi! Give me some nice pans and zooms across his body, okay Kyo Ani? Wink

Chitanda's cute too.

Yes, but KyoAni tends not to be as up-front about it.

What I mean, is, it's more that they just went to a place like a beach and the fanservice comes naturally through that instead of being forced. A quick perusal of the Hyouka trailer gives off this impression, which is good.

...But why does everyone look like a K-On! character...?
