| 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. |

 |
| 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 |

| 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! |
“Victor can’t be satisfied by anyone but me.”  |
| Hilarious moments where Rei tries to swim and sinking down, but at least he improved in the end. The shopping scene was also funny when they tried out knew swimsuits IDK why I'm still watching this even though I'm a guy... Oh well, onward to the next episode |
| I LOVE THIS ANIME SO EFFIN' MUCH!!! |
 |
| Haha, my favorite part was the "I'm not a rock, I'm a submarine!" part xD Wow, I really want them soundtracks ^^ My feelings on this series have changed a lot every episode, which is unusual. One episode I like, another I didn't, then I enjoy it more. Maybe it was just a matter of getting used to it, so I think in the end, I will enjoy it ^^ Signature scene of the episode-  |

They can't just do that off screen. It's not like K-On at all because in K-On, none of them did anything related to music. But here they're at least centered around swimming. They were teaching Rei how to swim, which is absolutely necessary for them to win anything. With that out of the way they might actually show us some real stuff. With that said, I didn't enjoy the previous episode very much, but this one I enjoyed a little bit more. The butterfly swimsuit was the best. I'm glad Rei changed out of those other swimming trunks (?? were they even trunks? Not familiar with swimsuits for men, sorry) because they made me feel a little bit awkward, and not in a good way. |
| I LOVE THIS SHOWWWWW! I LOVE THIS SHOWWWWW <3 I dont even know what to comment or say except my LOVE for this show ; u ; |
| i havent watched this epi yet but from the screen shots it looks like a fanservise for gays more than females. those clothes.. btw makoto with glasses are soooo cute n hot<3 |

YES, LETS PUNISH ALL MEN FOR YEARS OF THEIR SHAMELESS FANSERVICE MUAHAHAHA!!! But seriously, why u wouldn`t like to see girls in swimsuits? I m a girl and I don`t mind it (or even approves), since their boobs would be less flashy and bouncy and showed less than boys muscles ;). I don't care really, it will probably happen in the next episode anyway since it's a beach episode apparently. I'd just rather there be no fan service for heterosexual men in this show. I'm enjoying all the exclusive pandering to my tastes. |
“Victor can’t be satisfied by anyone but me.” |
| "You're going to swim for me." o__O Wow, so possessive. U trollin us KyoAni? |
  |
| I can't stop laughing at Rei for failing soo many times lol. |
 |
| Just so funny watching Rei trying to swim and getting now where |
 |
| So Haru use swimsuits as underwear? It's... weird. |
| Lmao funny episode indeed, Rei is still the best tho. Rin is putting in work, getting ready for that competition, respect that. |
 |
| Jesus this episode was so sexy. I loved all of Rei's attempts to try to swim. And that swimming suit change? AHHHH PERF. Rin has really asserted how he feels towards Haruka, which is really good. It helped him realize some things now. And rei is a butterfly swimmer! Yay<3 |

The only problem is your attitude. The attitude which prompts you to call guys you don't like homophobic names like 'fag'. And the same attitude which apparently inspires willful blindness. At least half this episode was directly about swimming. The majority of a real swimmer's time is spent training not competing in events. |

| Gou sure is the conservative version of most of its viewers. nice of KyoAni to throw that in there |
