Its not even yaoi at all (sure fangirls fantasize it is and maybe its hinted a little and anything popular with girls is "gay" apparently) but its really about FRIENDSHIP. And if you can't see that then cool but you don't have to criticize it so much. Besides if it does have a little 'gay' is that so bad? No one complains about animes were yuri is implied. But they do when its guys? How is that fair? Not trying to argue, but people do complain about yuri undertones too. I complain. It's why I dropped Natsuiro Kiseki. Just let people freely express themselves here. It's just a discussion, not a debate about if Free! characters are gay or not. You can't deny there are intense gay undertones and not everyone likes that. |
| I'd always wondered, wouldn't you be sending in CO2 during CPR? So wouldn't that be harmful instead? Anyways, good episode. BL undertones were present, but I've gotten used to them by now. Besides, Shinsekai Yori had a full on BL kiss and it's my favorite, what's undertones to me? |

That's why I drop most of the anime I start. And also, this is supposed to be a place for discussion, not only for praise. |

Most of all he should get water out of his lungs first. If he breathes it in even more then worse shit happens. |

| okay, no.. not bad episode XD rei is really troublesome one :p and.. this scene is really made me close my eye for a while Stark700 said: Well, this was almost a CPR. ALMOST: next time! XD the battle start! XD |
| Oh god that near-CPR scene lol. What a tease KyoAni. And dat waterfall. egnaro315 said: Great stuff.3 seconds of Gou sleeping with her hair down made the episode. |
 |
| I had mix feelings about this episode. It was pretty intense, ***, sad, and heartwarming. Gou and Ama were also not in the episode, which was pretty disappointing. Overall, pretty good episode, but not as good as the last one in my opinion. |

RightToLeft said: how did they boil the water? There was no power... They did it with their HOT ABS! ;D |
| Nagisa stole the spotlight on this episode. Hilarious till the end. totally loved that Summer Triangle scene.. it reminded me of one particular scene of Hitagi & Koyomi.. |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| ROFL at the failed CPR attempt The boys really showed their soft side this time (Or gay vibes to others) Mackeral, hmmm don't they know it's full of bones by now Haru's back story was done very well Didn't expect a fear of the sea in that kind of way The scenes around the end were beautiful Looks like the one has some nice backgrounds as well |
I want Rin shows his care towards them more, and I love how the Kyoani played the CPR XDD that was close. and I laughed on the preview dialogues (: |
| Makoto's back story about his ocean fears was pretty disappointing... But overall, it was cute like usual c: |
 |
| this episode was really sweet... we really got to see the guys bond with each other a whole lot more than usual. and rei's embarrassing story was so cute! next is the competition! Also, that end card. Those tan lines. Hehehehe. |

| Almost CPR ;O Everyone sharing embarrassing stories like preteen girls ;O I gotta admit I was a little disappointed by Makoto's reason. So his beloved fisherman friend died on a boat 3km away ... IDK, seems a bit weak of a reason to be scared of the ocean. I thought it'd be like he witnessed someone drowning ... he didn't even see the old guy die! D: Well I guess as a child it'd still be pretty painful and it clearly left a mark on him (especially with the goldfish) but yeah, a little disappointed still :S Also IDK felt a little fast how after they saved Rei ... Makoto admitting he only wants to swim with Haruka oskld;jfksl;jfkl;esfdsd (so much ship potential there but Rin FTW gosh D<) (lol) XD Well next episode seems like we'll be leaving this stuff behind and going to the prefecture tournament already! So we get to see Rin and Haruka race already?! Well I suppose this is only 12 episodes ... but still, that was fast! :P |
| Freaking hot. |
| So many hot scenes,damn you KyoAni all that teasing. Also I need more Rin |
eminagnam said: I was disappointed at the reason why Makoto had a fear of the sea. Is it possible one has sea phobia due to such cause? He doesn't exactly have a phobia, it's just that he's afraid of the unknown, all humans do. >Makoto said it himself<. I cringed at that background story though. And dat kiss/CPR tease lol ~.~ First half went by so fast, then second half was taking their time slowly. |

| I thought the "I want to swim with you guys" thing was overplayed a bit. I feel like Makoto said it every five minutes. lol Rei being on 3 sides of the die. |

I dont know why but i was cracking up when Nagisa wrote Rei's name 3 times on that little box lol. I s2g he's going to get punched or something the best little shet ever <3 nagisa's becoming one of my favorite shouta-y characters in this animu. o man o man, all those makoto and haru moments.... dat bromance... their eyes were glistening the whole time.. and im like... yo, pls get a room. but let me be in that room. |

| 3/5 Episode a little boring in the narrative and the plot almost stops. Pajama party to appeal or not, but beyond of what the story is not fun and even depressed. Are only known about the BGM that give the right pathos addressed at every opportunity! Design, animation, and beautiful sceneries! Remeber vote for me! U_U Stark700 said: This is fucking beautiful. I agree! |
 |
| Pretty nice episode, lets see what's next! |
 |
| Save!! Haru & Makoto are almost kissing each other (Well, it's CPR) I just heard fangirls' screaming out of nowhere xD Lol Rei's embarrassing story & Haru's love story Lol that ED illustration |

| Damn this show is bad. The humor is so mellow is almost not existence and there is no great story unfolding or something to great to be accomplished. Even the contest seem just like a small background thing since the show seems to empathize more the gay love/friendship of them swimming together as important and not the contest. They never seem to care much about it except the red hair guy. The characters aren't showing nothing intriguing. This time they try to put some dramas background or something on one of them and in the end his story was just ridiculous really. And the supposed main guy is a guy that hardly talks and when he does is just about swimming and water and unfortunately he does it without being funny. So in the end is really just about boy fanservice and nothing else. Also it's kind of annoying how everything this boys do and behave fits perfectly if it they where transformed into girl characters. Is like Kyoani put boys instead of girls but doesn't know how to change the pattern of behavior to fit the new gender they are trying to show so they just use the typical character behavior style they use for there moe girls too. |

I laugh at most of the funny things nagisa or Rei did, and Nagisa is just too cute~ yeah I'm sure there are like TONS of anime that focused on girls fanservice and yuri crap and they seem to be no problem at all >_> We (or us, fangirls) need more anime like this, lots of hot guys, cute and adorable guys, doing cute things, doing cool things, beach fanservice the guys being shirtless, no reverse harem just sweet friendship between the guys... I think KyoAni did great and I hope KyoAni make more anime like this. It's clear you don't tolerate gay love or whatever, I don't know what is your problem, you even made so far to this episode. I hate yuri or anime that 90% of the characters are girl, and I definitely wont pick anime about swimming club that contain girls in swimsuit 80% of the time. |

| I thought it was a really great episode and I find this show really great. I love seeing their friendship, it's so nice. That's what I like most about it. It's more a show about friendship with swimming as the side plot I'd say. If you don't like it then stop watching it, it's simple as that. I'm glad they were all okay and only wished that CPR worked out! That night sky was beautiful! |
 |
| Rei is funny but not as I expected him to be in the episodes to follow. At least I hoped he would know how to swim from the start. Makoto, hang in there man! :D |
| this episode was so cheesy xD Makoto's backstory was pretty weak but Rin's ponytail makes up for everything ^^ |
 |
| Best episode so far, finally some feels |
 |
Stark700 said: End card. /////died from blood shortage |
 |
| Backstory was a bit on the weak side. I would've excepted someone closer to him to have died, like an older aniki or a close relative. Still believable I guess. And what on earth was that half-assed CPR? Haru should've done it right away instead of taking all his sweet time! |

| I thought they will continue the CPR scene, glad they didn't. Kid Rei, kid Makoto, and kid Haru, they're all cute. That fateful encounter of Haru and Waterfalls. hahaha Makoto's past was quite not deep. Stars in the sky, so beautiful. |
| I love it how they're on this island to do intensive training, but they stay up all night. Haru's always so funny. His first love was a waterfall. |
| can't help but love nagisa makoto's past is so wth lol this episode screamed CLICHÉ to me, but still. |
