On Monday October 16, Anime Limited will release Free! The Final Stroke Part 2 as a Collector's Blu-ray/DVD, including a 24-page booklet.
In Japan, the first Free! The Final Stroke film was released in September 2021, followed by the second in April 2022. In the two films, Haruka finally arrives in Sydney, the dream destination for his world-class competitive swimming aspirations. As he steps into this new frontier, he is faced with his friends and rivals from the All Japan Invitational, including the current world champion Albert Volandel. In order to stand at the very top of the world, Haru may need to make sacrifices, including his dream of swimming with his friends. The project's tagline was, "Let's go, to the stage of glory."
Kyoto Animation's original Free! TV anime about the Iwatobi High School Swim Club premiered in July 2013, followed by two further TV seasons and several films, including the prequel High Speed! -Free! Starting Days-, and Free! -Take Your Marks-, an omnibus film of short stories.
Anime Limited will also release a standard Blu-ray edition of the film The House of the Lost on the Cape.
