Joking aside: I'm glad it's been formally announced! I'm excited for more Free! I'm still hoping season 1 gets licensed in the states;;

I do respect that there's a lot of fans for this show but I still think it's a waste of KyoAni's talent. They should be remaking Rewrite instead. Gonna mimic myself from a year ago and say we also need a proper ending to FMP anime.

I wasn't gonna say anything but you said it..
It didn't help that the bloody silhouette for free matches a picture of Sousuke perfectly, and the creator of FMP tweeted before the anniversary "Some long awaited feelings will be answered."
If you're not aware the manga just finally got fully translated. It was glorious....

I was expecting a season 2 announcement, but I wasn't expecting to hear about the apparent fujoshi brawl.

Traffic cones were thrown, apparently women lost their shoes, and more.

Could you tell me where that brawl was reported reported? I'd like to read more about it. Thank you!

Still, quite chuffed that it's official!!! Anime hyper
BTW @Detrimont this series definitely "deserves" to continue, like many others. What a weak & back-handed comment to make... Confused Whatevs!

Same here, mate.

While I'd love to see other series get more seasons (Chihayafuru 3?, Durarara!! 2?) I really enjoyed Free! and can't wait to return to that world. Fingers crossed for a home video release stateside. Very Happy

Just want to point out that Tumblr had nothing to do with Free getting made in the first place. Having nothing against the site or fans that use it. Just wanted to make that clear.

Both lovers and haters think the world revolves around tumblr.

I just started watching the first season of this and it seems quite fun. Definitely has a Ouran vibe to it (minus the female lead), and Ouran is one of my favourite anime. Glad to see there will be more.

Though more Ouran would be better Razz I'm actually a bit surprised another season never happened for that one.

Well, that was expected. Still nice for its fans though.


Still surprising that any announcement thread of a 2nd season of a show that did amazing in sales gets so much hate. Are you people really so surprised something that did so good got a 2nd season?

It was totally tumblr's fault.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. The sales make it obvious tumblr had nothing to do with this.


Thank the gods that Japan will never make an anime because of them.

There's no surprise here, it was already quite dubious as to how little they care about their recent titles (KnK and Chuuni 2 being prime example).
It's no surprise they were already preparing for the "main dish".
I don't know what youre smoking but Chuunibyou is far more popular than Free! and Ren is by far the most entertaining show of the season for a large amount of people.

I'm pretty sure Free! is more popular, unless you have data proving otherwise. But the BD/DVD sales are on Free!'s side.

Free! is not a shojo or shoujo, though. Its a show aimed at the female otaku.
