| My eyes have seen the glory....... |
| Delicious. |
 |
| !!!!!!!! That's it, stick a fork in me i'm done. My soul is free now and I can transcend the heavens. Bye guys i'm going home to sit and cry in my bathtub for the rest of the Summer. Ahem. I appreciate Haru's affinity for stripping at the mere sight of water. What a good boy. Freaking Nagisa was the first one to get naked, bet no one saw that coming. It's always the shota that end up teasing everyone the most. The ED is incredible I cannot even. A-1 take notes plz. would watch forever/10 |
ihateeveryone said: "You can enjoy anime with yuri undertones like Yuru Yuri and whatnot and not insult it, but the minute something panders to fujoshi it’s horrible?" Yuru Yuri doesn't have the girls in constant lack of clothing though. Compare it to Senran Kagura or Samurai Bride or something. Those are horrible. Really bad comparison. |
| Delicious. EDIT: Already 11 trolls giving it 1/5. *sigh* |

| Since my overflowing excitement wouldn't allow me to wait for the subs, I watched it raw. This show is definitely going to make me and my ovaries VERY happy! That ED...OMG!! Make us FREE!! Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| just saw the episode subbed i didn't planned watching anything tonight but there it was couldn't not watching it might not be so great quality like the pv's but not bad neither kinda like the op song lol fanservice on my liking at last is a fashion to be dancing inthe endings part this season? |
The spider is watching |
| okay okay much better than I thought it would be (though it did seem a little rushed). And dat ED was so perfect I can't |
You do not wish to destroy others, you simply wish to destroy yourself. |
| I really loved this, it might just be my inner fangirl speaking. But I honestly enjoyed watching every minute of this episode. And that Nagisa skinny dipping, dear. The animation was great, and the fan-service was acceptable. 5\5. |
 |
| HAHAHAHAHA THE ENDING DANCE! HAHAHAHA Seriously, this was really gay, but I still like the anime itself! |
| I can't watch this Potential Masterpiece for now because my Net is currently Dead. WHY IS MY LIFE IS SO FUCKING CRUEL |
 |
| it has dubstep in the bgm, not dropping |
Keikau doori: Australia is the Dark Side and blondes are free :) They also have Girls, a a (devoted) Sensei, and are in the right position for whatever comes first (pro-Magi ED, naturally). Hopefully, the rivalry would develop into something creative. |
Sourire said: All the girls of MAL are finally coming out of their shelter to discuss an anime, its an incredible sight! LOL you should see Chihayafuru's discussion, too Really great first episode, fanservice everywhere c; |
ihateeveryone said: well I won't complain down the road if theres some actual romance between a boy&girl, if not, the show is pretty.. ahem.. non-heterosexual.Sourire said: All the girls of MAL are finally coming out of their shelter to discuss an anime, its an incredible sight! Hurray! It's actually really sweet to see people so happy and excitied about this. Now I wait for people to cry and complain about the undertones and ruin it. And with that, I copy and paste this lovely statement: "You can enjoy anime with yuri undertones like Yuru Yuri and whatnot and not insult it, but the minute something panders to fujoshi it’s horrible?" |
 |
| No idea what to say.I guess...i enjoyed it?.Some scenes were pretty painful to watch though (as a guy), but yeah, in overall it wasn't that bad...i guess.I won't rate it until i see some more episodes. Loving the OP tho.OLDCODEX FTW. Auxoran said: Lol'd.10/5 gift from heavens |

| PERFECTION! |
 |
| lol Nagisa and Makoto skinny dipping. xD Wonder when they will introduce Rin? Loved the ending animation KyoAni does not disappoint. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Fuck the haters this was so much fun |
 |
| OP was awsome! Pretty good first episode. Granted it was fanservice-y as heck for the ladies so I'm sure they enjoyed it more. Animation was a little lower quality than I thought it'd be but still it is KyoAni. Also really liking Mamoru as Rin. |
| -Nothing can stay unchanged. Even so, can you still keep on loving this place? -Be still my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. |
| I think this is too fabulous for me. |
| My Anime Blog: http://www.Entravity.com/ Episodic overviews of the latest anime. |
| I never thought i would like this, but I liked and DAT ED. |
| Rin has some sharp teeth o_o Haru is so cute, I love how his eyes sparkle when he's excited about going in the pool. And also when Haru and Rin were going to race each other, pretty much the most epic way people can take off their clothes. Some of the bgm was nice, except what is this? Did I hear dubstep? The animation is crisp, as expected of KyoAni, hmm aside from that, there's not that much to say. I liked the comedy too. But that ED...the dance. Please no more of those Utapri-like horrid dancing D: First the ED of Brothers Conflict, and now this. At least the rest of the ED was pretty nice though. I liked the Arabic(?) theme. The OP was great too. |
| I loved it!! Ahhh so much fangirling~~ <3 <3 I screamed when Rin showed up hehe ^.^ I like the story so far! Haruka is such a tsun-tsun oh man NAGISA WENT SKINNY DIPPING and I laughed pretty hard Great OSTs, Opening song and the ending song, there was some epic music during the show as well! Excited for the rest of the show! (besides just fangirling all the time) |
| Oh man, I love the shit out of that ending. Hilarious. The first episode did not disappoint. I was slightly worried I was getting a bit too hyped/expecting too much from this series, but KyoAni delivered (for the first episode, anyway). :) |
 |
| This anime is gonna tank in sales. |
| I really liked the first episode, I think the boys are kind of adorable. But that ending, damn is it catchy. |
“Victor can’t be satisfied by anyone but me.”  |
| I knew I would enjoy Free! even though I'm straight,thanks Kyoani. |
| OMG THIS IS GREAT. Thank you based KyoAni. Also, I cannot stop watching THAT ENDING. Goddamn. |
| loved it. i can see some really intense rivalry between Rin and Haruka, this is going to be good!!! I hope they animate the swimming scenes well! |

shymel said: I very much enjoyed this episode. The teacher seems really sweet. I hope she recites a bunch of poetry for my Chihayafuru needs. I wonder what she originally wanted to become. |
| Exactly what I expected. And I enjoyed it. |
| Awwwww yeah. That was great. Can I ship Makoto and Gou it seems like a really nice ship to ship. I loved the opening and the ending. I love how at the end of the ending Haruka just jumps out of his clothes. The opening was better imo. Either way, as usual, top notch animation, KyoAni does not disappoint. 5/5 |
Veronin said: Shuhan said: This anime is gonna tank in sales. You must be joking. The fujoshi will eat this up instantly. They are the only ones that will be buying it. Those sales alone have to be minuscule. Unless otaku like watching gay boys doing gay things. |
| "You were in the bath with your swimming trunks on again?" Looks like Makoto was pretty disappointed about not seeing Haruka's junk. This is pretty much exactly what I was hoping for so I'm happy. The songs are really catchy too. I like the ending, the outfits are cool. |
| Holy crap. KyoAni delivers. Though I'm sure I'm loving this for all the wrong reasons. |
| In terms of sales, it'll probably be Chunibyou level. UtaPri realized the formula is sexualized bishounen + idol music. Free missed out on the idol music part so it's missing a large part of the fanbase. |
Shuhan said: Those sales alone have to be minuscule. Unless otaku like watching gay boys doing gay things. BAHAHA The UtaPr2000 vol 1 sales would like to speak with you (and that's just the latest example) Please separate your tastes in anime from facts |
| nice ost. dont like the op and ed yet Mod Edit: Removed unnecessary baiting. |

Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| Be happy fujoshis!! This is for you ♥... sad... this isn't for me LOL... dropped. |
| english isn't my native language... ;) |
Shuhan said: This anime is gonna tank in sales. Or do the exact opposite. We'll see. |
Shuhan said: Veronin said: Shuhan said: This anime is gonna tank in sales. You must be joking. The fujoshi will eat this up instantly. They are the only ones that will be buying it. Those sales alone have to be minuscule. Fujoshi are pretty massive in number. Kuroko no Basket and UtaPri were some of the best selling anime in the past few years and they were almost exclusively catered to a female audience. Plus, KyoAni is bound to market Free to death like they do with all their series. |
|
| Good animation. Characters seem terribly retarded, reminds me a lot of K-ON. Good for the fujoshi, not for me, dropped. |
| So, What do you think is on the other side? |
