After watching of an unhealthy majority of the shows this season (or at least part of them), I am sure of a few things:
The following shows will have a beach/pool and a hot springs episode:
Rio – Rainbow Gate (but they’ll take place in the prison… erm, the casino)
Infinite Stratos
Freezing
Onii-chan
Kore wa Zombie
The following shows will have a beach/pool episode:
Yumekui Merry
Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Gosick
Beezlebub
Dragon Crisis
Fractale (above image counts as beach, right? Right?)
Alas, shows that won’t have either:
Kimi ni Todoke Season 2
Level E
Wandering Son
That is all. (I’ll probably be wrong but whatever. First impressions are always fun.)

Well I definitely know you’re wrong with Freezing–unless the Anime staff says, “Screw the original work, let’s add a hot spring/beach episode!” Which I will go to the anime staff and say, “DAMN YOU!!!!”

Well, you did mention before that they made Freezing more ecchi than before. Still, it’d be pretty bad if they deviated from the source material just to add a stereotypical fanservice episode.
