| I don't know what kind of ruleset the mod who deleted my comment was going by, but you might want to re-read the news forum rules. Anyway, I already stated my opinion, I probably won't like this and I think it's a waste that a studio that excels so much at animation focuses on something that can't get the best out of it (although I can't say previous shows from kyoani have used it that well either), but I'll still try it. I also made a comment about why males tend to show dislike for anything fujoshi, but it seems like there's a mod that doesn't like opinions that he can't agree with. Either that or my internet bretrayed me, but I'm pretty sure my post was there when I went to edit it. |

| Sounds a bit plain. |
 |
| Looks... not going to say it. |
 |
| kyoani ver. of one direction... urgh...blurgh... I just hope it's not just a female fan service anime...(I already feel that it's like that though) |

What makes this so different and special than anything else that's out there that appeals to certain demographics? |
 |
| I seriously can't believe there is outrage over something so trivial. And the show isn't even out yet, we know nothing about it other than the premise and what the characters look like, and it's going to be animated by Kyoani. So what's the problem? Oh, is it because it's not about cute-girls-doing-cute-things? |
|
| HAHAHA posts are still getting deleted! I hope this anime is as fabulous as the PV makes it out to be. Bromance SoL with some competition would be nice also. Really glad this got a anime. |

| Yes Hias that seems to be the problem...apparently it is okay if girls do things but the minute boys want to the shit hits the fan. Related to the anime, I think that it would be worth the watch. However, it appears like it will be a lighter anime and I love dark anime better. |

Honestly, I'm actually pretty stoked about this show. Not because of the hilarious feedback, but because it could always be funny, fun and pretty to look at. |

I think most of the attention it's getting is from artificial hype, how weird the anime actually is, or just how widespread trolling is these days, no? |

It's obviously pandering to fujoshits, I bet the show has no substance or plot unlike the wondrous K-On! Women that complain about female service are seen as "whiny" and won't "let guys have fun" and now we have the reverse situation occurring. No one likes fanserivce that objectifies them but I guess since it occurs for women at a much higher rate they become desensitised over time and internalise it. |

| they dont have an eyepatch?? |
| Meh, I seriously hope this isn't followed en mass, even by Fujoshi, so that its sales crash, they run out of resources, and are forced to beg Kadokawa to allow them to make Haruhi Season 3 God, Haruhi is such an amazing series, and yet it suffers from the dual problem of a lazy writer and an unwilling company |

The movie ended the series nicely though which is why I don't see a need for another season. |

| Okay, I'll try to be non-trollish here. We have been used to seeing KyoAni go for the girl side of moe. And it often works, until Tamako Market, which had an original storyline. That wouldn't be a problem with Free!, though. The story is supposedly based on a light novel, and fujoshi are definite buyers when their hunger is sated. That said, I will be watching the conversations here instead of watching the episodes. The premise isn't interesting, and my yaoi radar is already blaring at the thought of scantily clad boys doing things together. |

If KyoAni crashes and burns as you say, they'll just get another studio to make it.

How many anime do you import? Are you an actual CUSTOMER, or are you a leech just like most foreigners? If you're a leech like most of us here, sit your ass down and be greatful you can actually watch anime for free without getting warnings from your isp. Throwing a tantrum on a forum wont solve a thing. |
 |
| WOW! Yes I must watch! |
 |
| Do I dare? |
 |
| Can the mods explain their actions rather than just nuking posts? |
|
| They don't have nipples???? not watching. |
| fanservice for girls? dropped. |

| Were you ever expecting us anime fans to be grateful? We're one of the most entitled and bitchy fanbases out there. |
| My, too much hype already. Just no, to anything fujoshi bait. |
| oh boy here we go this anime is going to be the troll bait of july. |
| Well shit, they actually did it. Lol. I'm totally ready, although i don't really expect much other than fanservice and the generic club stories. |
sunnysummerday said: i wonder how hard of a time the male animators have working on something like this.. Half of KyoAni is female. The director is female. They probably like working on this show MORE than they do their normal moe shows. |

I don't care if you're 'happy' for Free!, I'm saying you are on the same level of stupidity with KyoAni fags. Hate them? Sent them a fucking letter. Can't speak Japanese? Use a translator or they'll translate it themselves. Don't want to? Too bad. The only reason there is not many Japanese girls going crazy is because Japanese guys don't go as crazy in public either. However there is still a decent amount of both going nuts on something they enjoy. Otaku is a degrading term in Japan, whereas in the West it's often taken as Anime & Manga lover. Do you think the majority will say it out loud? |

I am grateful for them since they are making the industry alive . And please don't lecture me of what an otaku is I am fully aware of it I read all kind of Anime/manga addressing the issue seriously and know all their news and how they act. |

| Am I the only one who actually wanted/wants to see this series for the swimming and not the bishies...? Cause if I'm not then I don't feel so awkward that the bishies didn't win me over. |

| Oh a lot of handsome guys! |
 |
| Since they are boys, i hope atleast the story is good xD |

| You people... None of you HAVE to watch this. It isn't mandatory, so please do take several chill pills. Now, I'm a guy (as in male) who loves and cherishes Haruhi. I fell in love with season 1 all those years ago, stuck with season 2 through Endless Eight, was destroyed emotionally by the movie, bought all the English novels, etc. etc. What I'm getting at, I want Haruhi S3, like, a lot. But this is good, too. Oh no some well-known studio makes an anime you aren't interested in. Just get over it already. I wasn't interested in Tamako Market, and would rather have seen them do something else. You know what I did? I did not watch Tamako Market, and neither did I bitch on and on and on and on and on about it. KyoAni don't owe you anything. Neither the studio nor the industry are going to perish just because they didn't make Kawaii Moe Uguu Series #5007. Nichijou and Tamako Market flopped, yet they continue to make things. If Free! flops, life goes on. If Free! is successful, life also goes on. KyoAni are doing an anime that appeals to females (and the occasional gentleman). That's really all there is to it. |

| this has been going cray on tumblr. can't waaaaait. |
| @GodlyKyon Brother, i'm begging you, please just stop this off-topic argument, i mean c'mon, we're better than this. |
| this thread is so heteronormative you guys are no fun anyway I liked the designs better in the original CM, the guys looked nicely proportioned there (based Nishiya). They look a bit too tall now, though I need to see more footage |
Face_Faith said: Btw, if it's adapted from a light novel, is the original's title "Free!" as well? iirc the light novel's title is "High☆Speed!" and it doesn't appear to have gone on to a publishing house, according to my googling... (I was going to pick it up when I drop by Kinokuniya tomorrow if it had, haha.) And honestly, what does Haruhi have to do with all of this? I love Haruhi too, I'd love for a third season, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to enjoy whatever other anime appeal to me in the meantime. Chill. |
