Your projection is absolutely astounding.


Projection? I merely point out that a lot of fanservice of girls is...mildly disturbing (Photo Kano is a good example of this).


Except this is basically the same as a lot of female fanservice, only with males.

Literally its the same shit. And thats fine. (and PhotoKano is creepy due to the in-universe context more than anything else)

Looking forward to this - going to have some nostalgic feelings cropping up whilst watching! I'm hoping Crunchyroll gets on this and has it uploaded fairly sharpish after each episode airs in Jp.

I wonder if do any weight training or just some weirdly drawn ottermode. Bulky muscles kill your hydrodynamics.

In real life, swimmers tend to do a hell of a lot of conditioning. Think high reps, low weight.

I was scared there for a sec when I read "elementary school."

Then later it says they're in high school. *SAFE* (this was before I saw the new promo)

This CM has raised this anime from "Priority" to "#1 Absolute must-watch priority". July can't come soon enough.

Wait, so this series actually has swimming in it? Who would have thought.


I'm confused. If they swim then they can't pose for the camera and engage in homoerotic subtext like they're supposed to.


You obviously didn't watch the promo Laughing

Lol at the ACTUAL swimming in the title haha, I guess KyoAni was fed up with all the oversensitivity around.

Luvin' it! Anime hyper
All the fan-service-comparison chatter is alternately mind-numbing and ... mildly disturbing. ¬_¬
But the "muscle scrutiny" discussion is high-larious!!! Laughing
BTW must get that manga!!! Chibi Free!-Boys! Hell, must. purchase. all. Free! merchandise. (which lamentably is not free) Ha! See what I did there? Aw, forget it. I'm just loopy from watching that PV... Anime dazed

It's not a manga, it says so in the news article.

My head hurts.

Hopefully Free! won't turn into a BL. I always wanted to see a beautifully animated sports anime... [I first heard of Free! via tumblr]

Good LORD. The way they took off their shirts was so dramatic.

I hope this has a good plot that makes it worth watching.
