beach episode
Coastal fan service
A beach episode is a standalone installment in an anime, TV series, or other serialized media where characters visit a beach, typically serving as lighthearted filler between plot-heavy arcs.
The format is a reliable excuse for swimsuit scenes, romantic tension, and comedic hijinks: Every anime has to have its obligatory beach episode.
The term sometimes describes any vacation-themed detour in a narrative: The writers threw in a beach episode before the season finale.
