| Based of what people have said about the first episode I won't be watching it. If I want to watch an anime about sports/competition there are way better animes out there (story wise) that I still haven't seen. I also won't have to see guys ripping off their shirts. Not that I'm assuming anyone is gay if they watch it I just won't be. |

| The real question is, how many will remain straight by the time the series is over? |

And you know that there are better sports anime with a better story? I guess you know the whole plot inside and out without watching anything yet. Anyways I'm straight and I'll be watching it. It is definitely kind of gay, but just because there are a lot of shirtless men in the anime doesn't mean i'm not watching it. |

Kenta_Maebara said: I'm a guy, and I'm watching this anime because it's an anime. Considering we all watch shows with cute girls, ranchy fanservice, boobs, panties, lolis, and hentai, I don't see why people are so reluctant to watch a show full of just guys. May I remind anyone of Kuroko no Basket? Or the Daily Life of Highschool Boys? By that logic, you ok with this too right? http://myanimelist.net/anime/3092/Junjou_Romantica Ok have fun! |

| The 'gays are gross, lesbians are hot' hypocrisy is alive and well. I seriously can't wait for the day when sexuality is a complete and utter non-issue. This show won't turn you gay if you weren't a little gay already. |
I can't wipe my butt with the shreds of a wedding dress!! |
| Maybe, I have a lot of stuff I would watch before watching this but I'll eventually get to it |
 |
| People are really overreacting to this......"OMG! while they swim they have less clothes! Gayyyyy!" -.- I've even seen grown men saying the same. Are they really grown up? Apparently not. We guys get panty shots and boobs in almost EVERY anime and girls don't complain about it. Sincerely 19 year old straight guy. |
| No,I won't because it's full of fan service and it's same to watch ecchi,where all the time you see boobies and pantsu and watch some anime full of loli characters,I mean that there is too much fan service and additionally it isn't by manga,so smb just write script to increase income and scriptwriter would just put some idea and sense and that's all,I thinks so,It's my opinion,so i can be wrong, to sum up,it's non-sense and full of fan service p.s.I watch ecchi,but if it is worth to watch,this anime isn't |

Judging from what you said before you probably don't treat him normally. You said "is anime about bunch of boys act like true boys, not like gay boys!" meaning you don't think of your "friend" as a true man or whatever. Yes it is wrong, and an anime with multiple guys is not gay. And you said some straight guys, so some straight guys will watch it making it not only for women and fushoshi in general which there are less of. You sound like the hypocrite homophobe. There's another baseless assumption. |

| I'll watch. The art is good, I enjoy Kyoto Animation, and it'll be the first sports anime I've ever watched. As long as no yaoi pops up, I have no reason not to watch. |

Red_Keys said: Shirubaasouru said: So merely the act of observing somebody of the male sex makes you want to vomit?At least there're two hot girls. Most of the scenes made me wanna puke, though. Too many Beeburr's. Funny, because when I'm at the beach I always see half naked guys staring at each other, as much as girls staring at each other almost like in a "competition" of "I have a better body". I didn't see any male vomiting when looking at another (even between friends, yes), so I don't see why here males would vomit over fictional male characters that imitate reality. XP Sad. Just sad, really. |

| i'm a (somewhat) straight dude and i'm enjoying it so far |
 |
| I'm enjoying it so far. |
| It's a yes from me! And yep, I'm a straight guy. The main reason why I'm watching this is that it's the only anime about swimming, and since I'm a swimmer myself, I feel that it's natural for an anime lover like me to check it out^^. The first episode so far was really funny, though there were a bit of fanservice for the girls, lolz. |

It's one thing to not want to watch two guys get sexual, it's entirely different if you are put off by even the idea of them being hinted at being gay. If you are literally skeeved by seeing guys hold hands/kiss, I would classify that as teensy bit homophobic. |

| and so does sekaiichi hatsukoi deserve a higher rate from me . you didn't even watch the show i watched. so how are you to prove that some of these shows deserve a low rate. ps. u don't even give that much attention on my list. |

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| The concept of this anime is too good not to watch, excessive fanservace or not. Haruka is WAY too hyped about swimming, and I was laughing my ass off through the entire first episode and I look forward to the rest of the series. |
  |
IZUMI64 said: don't get me wrong I'm no homophobe, I have a gay friend in real life and treat him normally. Haha! This is the best statement ever. |
| I think this show is stupid, but in a lighthearted, doesn't-take-itself-too-seriously way that makes it not only watchable, but downright hilarious. I intend to watch every minute of it, provided that it maintains that atmosphere. I also think that if if you're not capable of laughing this show off and are genuinely upset by it, your skin might be just a little too thin. But that's a whole different story. |
| lmao as a former swimmer, I was actually pretty entertained by the episode. And it's shame that people are mocking the "gayness" of it, if you've ever joined a swim team, this is par the course, and we've gotten so used to the sight of speedos and half naked people that no one gives a flying fuck anymore. Of course, the char design is definitely on the bishie side, for whatever reason |
 |
| i`m a straight male first episode is not too bad IMO so i think i`ll watch this until some point |
 |
| Straight male, probably won't watch. Not because it's gay or anything, just not interested. I'm just here to read all the hate I imagined would be garnered by this show :p |
