Season 1 - Free! - Iwatobi Swim Club (TV) Season 2 - Eternal Summer (TV) (discussion starts here) Season 3 - -Dive to the Future- (TV) (discussion starts here) Genres: comedy, drama, tournament Themes: bishounen, fanservice, Friendship, school life, sports, swimming Plot Summary: The story revolves around Haruka Nanase, a boy who has always loved to be immersed in water, and to swim in it. Before graduating from elementary school, he participated in a swimming tournament along with his fellow swimming club members, Makoto Tachibana, Nagisa Hazuki, and Rin Matsuoka. After achieving victory, each of the boys went their separate ways. Time passed, and in the middle of their uneventful high school lives Rin appears and challenges Haruka to a match, showing Haruka his overwhelming power. Not wanting it to end like this, Haruka, gathers together Makoto and Nagisa once again and brings a new member named Rei Ryugazaki to create the Iwatobi High School Swimming Club in order to defeat Rin. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seems like the first two episodes aired already at a pre-screening event. After checking out many of the previews and the news few weeks ago, this series is definitely something to keep an eye on. I'm a Kyoto Animation fan so looking forward to this. Oh and for those curious, here are some reactions on CR. I think there are some minor spoilers in there so be aware. This looks fun though so I'm excited for the summer

So what is this? Fanservice for females? Seems like a sausage fest to me.

Swimming. Swimming is serious business. |

Im no where near the target demographic for this, but morbid curiosity might pique my interest to check out the first episode (if only cause of the notoriety/hype the show has gained over its time)

I actually went ahead and made the experiment. I googled "Free Anime" and at least the first results page and the top relevant pictures are all about the KyoAni series. Don't worry, us illegal dwellers have plenty of keywords to search for the stuff we want

It's been streamed for more than an hour, and there aren't any comments about the episode? Wow...
The water effects were beautiful, but that's expected from KyoAni. The rest? I'm not sure, yet. The teacher might be fun. Ep. 1 was mildly interesting. I'll stick with it for at least two more episodes. Has KyoAni shown so much bare skin before (and in just one episode! ^^; )? I haven't watched all of their products, but nothing's coming to mind. |

I watched it just now and... I didn't know how to react. It looks like they're basically anime girls in hot male bodies. I think it's weird.

FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Well, that was gratuitous, but mostly fun. Sports aspect not yet Kuroko or Ro-Kyu-Bu level, not even close, but has potential. |

Well for most of part this has been very boring,I know some people who find it to be hilarious but I didn't.I never liked cute guys being being to each other so I dont see why I should like it here.
There were some legitimately awesome moments such as the introduction Rin,and when they started undressing dramatically. What this series needs to focus more is on dramatic poses and swimming.The ending of episode implies that it will go in that direction. Also the animation was simply amazing and the ending was awesome. |

My review of this episode is basically 'meh'.
It did take me 6 or 7 episodes to get into K-on so I will keep at it, see what happens. At least there is at least one cute girl in the show so far, Gou, whereas the ladies got no men at all in K-on. So far red is the best colour. Also love the op. |

I enjoyed this way more than someone into neither BL nor sports anime should. First of all, it was hilarious, especially Haru's tendency to strip when he's near a pool (and wear a swimsuit in the tub)! Rin's intro was wonderfully over-the-top. That rap! Nagisa fidgeting like a little boy and jumping down the stairs was cute. Curious about the teacher-how much you wanna bet she was a swimmer before becoming a teacher? I was disappointed that we didn't see Rin and Haru race at the end!
So, the show caught my attention beyond the hype. Looking forward to next ep! |
