The second season, particularly the second half of it, was so damn stressful for me. And I really didn't like the way they tied up Haru's storyline; he ended up doing the thing he'd been stating throughout the season that he didn't want to do.

Also in this picture, Rin is staring right at Haru's ass and this makes me giggle a lot. |3

The thing with Haru is just because he says he doesn't want to do something doesn't always mean he actually doesn't want to do it. There were hints all along that he did in fact want to swim pro. He definitely had hangups about it, he was worried about being all alone and about the pressures of pro swimming - plus he wasn't ready to decide his future.

But then he saw his friend who was aiming to go pro had gone through all those hardships and had come out okay, and Rin got to see amazing sights along the way. I think it put Haru at ease enough to think clearly and see that going pro wasn't as scary as he was making it out to be in his head. And then he was able to take the next step of realizing he wanted that.

Sorry to go all tl;dr!

I think the writers did a pretty crap job trying to get all that across to the viewers, especially since the creators had to explain why things turned out the way they did after the anime was over. If they'd spent more time on Haru in the Australia episode instead of introducing us to Rin's dog, having Rin's foster mom be all 'Just kiss already, teehee *wink wink*' and repeating the Rin was sad in Australia part, maybe things would have seemed less silly and sudden.

eh, maybe. imo the creators didn't need to explain anything, I got what they were trying to convey before the interviews came out. I also knew all along that Haru was going to go pro by the end - I was more surprised after I finished the series and saw there were a lot of people who thought there was a chance he wouldn't. Personally I think they did a fine job and I liked it.

Good for you.

The creators didn't need to explain it, Haru explained it himself in episode 13.

It's fine, I just didn't catch any of that while watching. XD I remember being incredibly frustrated with how Haru was treating everyone tho.
