What I'm talking about are the more "casual" anime fans who you'd find on a place, like, say, MAL or the CR forums. Guys who mostly read mainstream shounen and stuff. They're the most vocal haters of yaoi. |
Actually Crunchyroll's forums have a lot of fujoshi, and Free! has gotten a lot of approval on the forums in CR.
And of course, CR made a great decision to stream it. It has generated a lot of member interest on CR and it's a sports anime and sports anime usually doesn't get another venue to be seen.

And if it is? Why do you give a fudge.
Seriously guys. If you aren't interested in the show, don't [expletive] watch it.

That doesn't change the fact that CR's forums are about as casual as you can get. And where there's casuals, there's yaoi-and-fuoshii-haters.
I don't go on those forums anymore. There's way too much stupidity in a way that would make MAL blush.

Given my hatred of moe, it would be hypocritical of me not to call it out for pandering as opposed to having a plot. I'm not asking for fanservice, just to have an actual story. Not a big deal, really.

Or is it because some of the people on this forum have taste and didn't gush over the free pv (that somehow turn into a real anime series is beyond me) while an 1 episode ova like little witch academia didn't

I should note that CR has Little Witch Academia, which I really enjoyed. And LWA is getting a North American release. And the way the story is told perfectly fits a 26-minute OVA.
LWA was done as part of Anime Mirai and was a way for young animators to be able to artistically express themselves in a way that a conventional TV anime wouldn't. And I wouldn't rule out a future TV Anime of it either
As to taste, that is a subjective matter. If it's a real sports anime, I will watch it. If it's guys doing guy stuff with very little actual swimming then I'll just watch other stuff and let the fujoshi have their shows.

It was also a huge sum of money courtesy of the government. That's an outlier in production and not something you can take lightly. It allowed them to express themselves in a way that they almost never have the budget for because business anime hasn't operated like that since the boom era. If they made a LWA TV anime and it bombed, that would be extremely damaging to Trigger. Either way, a TV series would have a far lower budget, so they'd have to fall back on the setting and characters more and not the animation quality.

I sincerely hope so since they got most of KyoAni's stuff and remember when the first PV came out most of the hype was coming from the Western audience than in Japan so they would be stupid not to get this show. For once a series has more popularity here than in Japan (Where it got mixed reactions or rage from KyoAni otaku) and Crunchyroll's bogus petition proved this.
So please Sentai get this subbed/dubbed I don't care I just want it. xD I already put it down for my Christmas present well the Amazon gift card I'm going to get to buy it with so please don't let me down.

But it still doesn't change the fact that shows like free is what's wrong with the anime industry today because of these idiotic fujoshi pandering shows coming out lately

And certain people are all like "But these yaoi-haters and fujoshi-haters you talk about don't exist!" and. Ugh...

Wait, this is based on a novel? I thought it was original...but the novel angle has me intrigued. Is there any information on I the novel? (I couldn't figure out the novel's release date from the article...)

I cannot remember perfectly, but I think it was a Light Novel called High Speed!, and it was never actually published--it was suggested to KyoAni's LN division as a possible novel for them to publish, but they never did. They merely took the idea and made this anime based off of it.

It's going to be published in conjunction with the airing of the anime. It's also about the main cast as kids when they were on their elementary school swim team together.
