SquChan said: And am I the only one or did it feel damn rushed? Actually yeah, some of the transitions were weird, like that part where Haruka suddenly woke up under that tree. |
| Two Beeburr's right in the very beginning... not a good sign More Beeburr's... Mata seiyuu opuningu ka yo... Horrible OP. Sono sensei, ii ne. <3 Another hot girl. I'm gonna watch this show for the girls. That short Beeburr's still a Beeburr after growing up. Makochan, Haruchan, Nagichan... too much girlish names. Kimochi warui. Haruka za tsudere. Bring it on bring it on. I bet Rin got pwned hard in Oosutoraria. Otoko na no ni, onna mitai no namae. Seiyuu endingu... Gou <3 |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |

| Seems okay so far ed was hella funny reminded me of whatever 200% show from last seasons ed. as for the show gonna take some time to get used to the crew personality,they aren't like the guys from Danshi Kōkōsei no Nichijō which is a shame but i get it was shocked it wasn't an all boys school not only that there might be a female lead so that's a plus |

There better be or I cant watch this gay shit. They're both boys so.. and I'm sure there are plenty of anime with boy x girl bby btw your set is too cool thanks heh |
| Rewatched it, and imouGou was very cute. I'm ready to ship everyone in this show. Definitely Rin/Haru. Rei/Nagisa? Makoto/Shovel? Makoto/Gou? Brother con!Gou? |

jayvon said: This anime is so gay. Took the words out of my mouth, but I'm not going to say "Gay" as my classification, maybe "Fujoshit." Except for the little bits of fan services, which isn't my taste, especially when it's boy + boy fan service, it was an enjoyable episode. 6.5/10. |
 |
| I love how people keep throwing around the word "fujoshi" as some sort of insult or something. I wish there were some specific term for ecchi and harem fans. Besides "virgin", that is. |

| You know, I was going to. But now I'm just not even going to. That's just it. |
Takuan_Soho said: If I had to put my finger on what I didn't like about this show it would be that if all the characters were girls, they wouldn't have had to change one bit of dialog or (outside of changing the gender) the animation. It seemed as if this was originally written and drawn to be a standard KyoAmi feature with the typical KyoAmi Moe girls (including the glittery eyes) and then at the last second some marketing person decided they should make the characters male.. "HARUKA, STOP TAKING OF YOUR CLOTHES!" "DON'T TAKE IT OFF RIGHT HERE!"...or something like that. Said no girl ever *cough cough* Yes, I agree with you fully. This would have definitely been said by a girl. |

| I bet people wouldn't complain if it were girls touching each other. |

To be clear is isn't as if they guys were acting like girls, that isn't what I am saying - it's more that they ARE girls, just drawn as boys. "Oh no. They aren't abiding by the stereotypical gender roles set out by society. That makes me uncomfortable." But I would disagree with that anyway. Rin was pretty stereotypically male, and Rin and Haru's competitiveness was characteristic of typical male aggression or whatever. |
| TAKE MY OVARIES TAKE THEM ALL |
| I didn't mind it so much. It does have a lot fanservice and typical KyoAni moe but with males, but I'd feel like a hypocrite if I made that into some big negative considering I easily watch the reverse. I dunno if I will watch it till the end, but I'll give it a chance. I may watch it just to see how girls into anime/manga/games feel when having to deal with all of the fanservice for guys. |

Itermin8rX said: I bet people wouldn't complain if it were girls touching each other. Yeah, pretty much. If this were "Swim Girls," at worst we'd get a lot of eye rolling. Though, I almost expect that the show's creators were fully aware of this. Hell, when I saw that almost-naked apron after the bathroom thing, I thought "okay, this show is screwing with us." |

| The animation looks awesome! Too bad it will only be 12 eps :( so far the first episode seemed interesting and it even has a similar feel to kuroko no basket so I'm guessing this will be one of the best anime from the summer lineup. |

ConquestOtaku17 said: I told myself before I watched this: "If I can withstand watching shojo animes like OHSHC, I can withstand watching a show like Free." And y'know what, I did. It's actually a pretty good anime in the start. Gonna continue watching it. (I'm straight btw).....sorry IMMA MAN! TAKE THAT, BITCHES! No need to apologize, man. There, fixed for you lol |

| I love the opening and that animation. Sasuga KyoAni Not as gay as people said, that's a plus point from me. Lot of fanservice though which I don't really mind The plot is not here yet, but I think there will be a decent one Will watch til the end |
Takuan_Soho said: EarlCiel said: "HARUKA, STOP TAKING OF YOUR CLOTHES!" "DON'T TAKE IT OFF RIGHT HERE!"...or something like that. Said no girl ever *cough cough* Yes, I agree with you fully. This would have definitely been said by a girl. That is actually an exact quote in episode 8 of railgun, Kuroko said it twice to Kiyama sensei. While we had Kyon's voice-over narration, that was obviously what Haruhi's fellow female classmates would have said to Haruhi when she began to change for gym class in front of the boys. There is two examples just off the top of my head, so it seems that it isn't as "rare" as you think. Okay, so one girl changes for gym class in front boys...would KyoAni girls do that? I think not, or at least I hope not. Actually, I don't think any perfectly sane girl would, to be honest. You'd think most girls have a least a little modesty. And privacy. And aren't complete attention hogging girls who literally are that desperate. Or that stupid. Haruka has no shame, he will take it off no matter where he is, no matter who is front of him, no matter what anyone says to him...he's definitely a guy xD |

I honestly thought that the people who would be screaming "GAAAAAAAY" would be more annoying than the rabid defenders. Guess I was wrong. |

| Ahh, this was so much fun! The boys are all so cute! Ya know, it's good to watch anime full half-naked guys every once in a while. That being said, fanservice alone can't keep me watching for long if I'm not interested in the story. Fortunately, the relationship between Rin and Haruka has me interested for now. I'll have to see where the rest of it goes though. |
| Not bad, at least this first episode canceled out any fears created by the uhh...eh..."those" people :x. Going to measure my straightness each episode. Standing at 10/10 strong at the moment. Pretty cool ending too, reminded me of a pimped out Magi. |
 |
Shocked said: This is anime. Chronic Stripper Syndrome exists. Yes, you are correct. This is anime, however, this is a KyoAni anime we're watching. I'm pretty sure if a female character had chronic stripper syndrome it would kind of ruin the moe and innocence they create in almost every show if you know what I'm talking about. Just a little. |

Ecchi and harem can't compare. To make it equal, there should be a special dirty word for guys who like yuri. Something that can be flung around with the same amount of vitriol as the term fujoshi. In this way the world can become a better place. |
