| Kinda feel weird watching a show with this much fanservice, but as a swimmer, I had to at least check it out. Everything is so exaggerated, but it would be boring if it was realistic lol. |
| Omg.. nosebleed (*ﾉ∀`*). I'm liking this so far. Had some good laughs |
| For all this gayness reputation, this was really interesting to watch, I m fine with bromance stuff, and this seems to have alot of that, as long as no borders are crossed and it remains SAFE, I think I will be enjoying this anime alot, the visuals were really great too and I love pools and water~~ Good for a summer watch! |
 |
| So, this is the popular show called Free!. It seems to be a decent drama. As a former swimmer, I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt. |

| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| Having seen the movie "Free! Starting Days" before this TV series was in some ways useful, to refresh my memory and better start watching this anime series. The narration was very amusing, I did not remember it that way. |

| This was basically yaoi but I don't mind it, cause why not since its no yaoi. |
| Woahhh fan service lol Haru-chan is so funny, water otaku :D |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| After being nagged by @Luchse to watch this, I finally decided to give it a shot. The guys look good, but it doesn't look that exciting yet. I hope that it gets more interesting. |

Pretty good pilot episode, the animation is amazing. |
| lmao only watching this because I’m part of swim club irl |
   |
| It was a solid first episode. I like the characters, animation, and OST. Let's see what's next. P.S. That cat scene was so heartwarming, meow. |

| Dropped Once But To Give It Few More Episodes Before Dropping It For Good . |
| Watching this for the olympic sport badge! I tried watching ping pong but I fell asleep during the first episode lol plus I have been wanting to watch this one. The quote "When you're ten, they call you a prodigy. When you're fifteen, they call you a genius. Once you hit twenty, you're just an ordinary person", hit hard ngl. By the time we're 20 we are so burnt out from people expecting too much of us. Rin seems like an interesting character, a bit of a dick but I'm sure he'll get better with time. I laughed when they were both prepared to jump into the pool to find out it was empty 💀 They're all boys with girlish names lmaooo They definitely don't make any like this anymore 😔 |
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"  |
| I liked this way more than I expected to. The opening music is pretty strong. This looks extremely good, art and character designs and the animation isn't bad. The only thing that bugged me was how cute it started out as, then for some reason the guys all turned into 27 year olds... when he's standing in front of Rin and says "I got 3 more years til I become normal" I guess he's saying he's 17 and I'm like... uh uh. Except for Nagisa, they are all built like tanks and easily 6 feet tall. There was a moment that made me jump out of my chair- when Nagisa say "Oh I have something!" and OPENS A PIECE OF PAPER WITH WHITE POWDER ON IT WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTT He very quickly said they're blessing salts or something but it was too late! My mind instantly went somewhere else, "Are these guys seriously gonna get cooked? At an abandoned school?" Holy fuck this is my kinda anime! Alas it was not to be, but I don't know where Rin got his attitude from. Oh yes, shows like this will make it like he "has reasons" but c'mon, that kind of drama just takes me out of it. Nothing wrong with a good rivalry, but an evil grin and tossing their trophy on the floor is villain level. 4/5 |
