| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The joke of Rei failing badly was quite funny the first time, less so thereafter, but at least we get more glorious angles every time. The Gou/Kou business is definitely becoming a pain, though.  |

| Fun things are fun. |
I'm really liking Rei now :P, I mean his swimming outfit...ahahaha. RAINBOW. Actually, I laughed at most of the outfits. Gou seems to be quite happy though: ◕ ◡ ◕ I swear, every time he jumps into the pool though, I feel trolled. Funny episode. |
 |
| Swimming lesson for glass guy, which has hard time. And short time training. Seems like the girl found something her brother wrote. That smile when trying out the swimming suit for main guy!! Confrontation for the two (basically that red hair guy trapped that guy from being free), and rematch promise made. He finally found his style, which is butterfly, himself. No airing next week and next airing will be August 7, 2013. Going to the beach? |

I didn't think Rei would be such a likeable character. |
| Fun things are fun. |
| Rei and those silly swimming outfits, lol. |
 |
| Nice episodes, though Rei kinda failed at the begging (entire episode :/) at least he can swim now |
| Modeling swimsuit, best part xD |
I am so excited ! |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
shitttt. Makoto gains +100 points for wearing glasses. Way hotter with them imo. |
| awesome episode, but no sub yet. bawww.. |
 |
| Can't wait for some Kou moments <3 |
 |
| Rei's swimming while staying still was funny. His taste in swimsuits leaves something to be desired as well. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| This week was okay Just more of what we've seen in the past whether it's the comedy, pandering, or Rin/Haru The upcoming tournament is a good opportunity for the show to switch itself up and flex its creative muscles |

| REI LEARNT HOW TO SWIM!!! XD Guessing he's going to be using butterfly stroke for the tournement, wonder what technique nagisa and makoto like to use :/ next week... UMI DAAAAAAA |
| Lord, why is this like the best show ever? Rainbow for Rei <3 |
| god i laughed so hard when they were trying swimsuits on and rei kept sinking in the water |
| Dat yaoi aura was so strong this episode |
 |
| Ahh another fanservice ep does KyoAni even takes rei seriously lololol |
| Great episode! I actually lol'd during the swim suit shopping scene... Definitely the cutest end card yet! ^-^ Did Haru actually smile? xD |
 |
| another good episode :-) rei sinking in the water and the swimsuit shopping was just hilarious. and some rin too yay :) |
 |
| To Free! Producers, thank you! Thank you for this episode! Thank you for this series! Love this episode, from first second till the end! Can't wait to see next episode! |
    |
| Omg I cracked up so hard at the trying on swimsuits scene. That rainbow one, I'm glad Rei didn't end up buying it. I knew Rei would try out butterfly style after the butterfly landed on Haru, good thing he could finally swim! The BL vibes I got from the Haru x Rin scene lol. Still, at least Rin confronted Haru about it. Also, I need that OST. Sooo calming and relaxing! |
| Man, there were quite a few times I laughed out loud during this episode. I'm really loving this show, even though I just can't get over how ridiculous some of these situations/convenient camera angles are.. but no complaints here. I guess it's those kinds of things that make it all the more hilarious and enjoyable! |
 |
| the best ep till now~ I loved every ep, but this one was just... <3 |
 |
| Best show ever, seriously. Or should I say best trolling ever ? I'm beginning to regret this show is only 12 episodes long. |
| This show is precious as ever. Kou's clothes in the mall - CUUUUTE ("Good girl" on the shirt = I want one for myself). |
 Gou, Gou, GOU!!! The only reason I had to watch this anime lol, anyways pretty good episode I guess. |
| Really fun episode. Rei's parts were so hilarious this ep. How he has perfect form but can't move nor get above water was so lol XD The swimsuit shopping was lol...Dat Rainbow XDXDXD Lol'd at Haru choosing the same swimsuit over and over again XD Lol'd at how Nagisa was asking the coach to train him while stuffing pizza in his face XD Kou and Ama-chan are cute as usual <3 Nxt ep...Beach ep??? Loved the end card!! |
 |
| It's basically K-on.. Dropping it. There will be no real swimming. One competition won't change anything at all. |
|
| I didn't enjoy this episode as much as the previous ones for some reason, but it was still pretty great :D Free! is one of the few anime that can actually make me laugh out loud. "The water doesn't like him." Haruka is such a little shit but that's what I love about him. I laughed so hard at him having like 20 pairs of the same swim shorts. The scene where they were all trying on swimming trunks was hilarious aswell. Like Rei what is that even. I love Rei so much <3 I love the swim captain from the other school aswell, he's like a big teddy bear >w< And the sexual tension between Rin and Haru. If I wasn't convinced these two were in love before I am now. |
Raphow said: that moment when they were about to kiss, kyaaa ~ They were not "about to kiss"! Not at all... |
      |
| The gay parts are getting more and more obvious and it's really off putting. |
|
| I really like the comedy. I didn't expect Free to be this funny. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Great episode. These episodes are rated unbelievably highly |
 |
| LOL. Rei is even entertaining to watch than he was in the last episode. |

UnbornMVs said: my feeling exactly.. probably the worst episode yet.Dat yaoi aura was so strong this episode |
 |
| Over the top fanservice if you ask me but then I'm a guy. C'mon KyoAni! You got two great girls to use. Seriously, if we don't get a fanservice moment with Gou or sensei I'm gonna be pissed ;) Episode otherwise was a little slow. Last week was better |
| -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. |

| Rei's my favourite in this show now. Too sassy and unexpected. Before episode 1 came out, I always expected this secluded, smartass megane instead of a hilarious, flashy, and fancy guy. My favourite episode yet out of the released so far. Marow said: I really like the comedy. I didn't expect Free to be this funny. this |
| lol, the manservice, but yeah pretty used to it now considering who it's aimed at. Glad I didn't drop, was fun to watch, glad glasses can swim now. |
| Why do the episodes keep getting better and better? Seriously, this week was just, I couldn't stop laughing. Rei is such a dork it isn't even funny. I wish I saw more of Makoto trying on swimsuits though. He looked kind of cute in that black one though. I'm happy with more Rin. His teeth weren't so sharp when he was confronting Haruka, I kinda wish they were always like that. Anyway, hoping there's no fan service with the girls ever. I'd love for fanboys to be upset over that. But it'll probably happen, meh. I loved this episode though and I'm excited for more! |
