Anime free















Looking for information on the anime Free! (Free! – Iwatobi Swim Club)? Find out more with MyAnimeList, the world's most active online anime and manga community and database. Haruka Nanase has a love for water and a passion for swimming. In elementary school, he competed in and won a relay race with his three friends Rin Matsuoka, Nagisa Hazuki, and Makoto Tachibana. After claiming victory at the tournament, the four friends went their separate ways. Years later, they reunite as high school stud…
On the surface, Free! comes off an anime that serves no other purpose other than catering to male fan-service. The lean physique of the swimmers, their well-defined torsos, and perfect swimming strokes are just the flashy cover of an otherwise toned-down slice of life sports anime.
Ever since “Free!” Season 3’s cryptic sign off — “see you in 2020…” — fans of the swimming-themed anime have been desperate to dive into more content. Little did anyone know what a year
I heard about this when I was listening to a podcast a while back. They were talking about anime and gave one guy a ton of crap for watching Free!. It wasn’t until much later I watched an episode and just gave up on it pretty quick. After another long gap I was running out of animes to watch and this was left so I thought I’d give it another honest go. Story Nanase Haruka is an extrodinary swimmer in his grade school days but wished to just be ordinary when he was in High School. His childhood friends Makoto and Nagisa want to try to help Haruka to regain his love for competitive swimming. However, along comes an old friend who they swam with as children just moved back into town, Rin, who wants to beat Haruka once and for all. It’s somewhat a regular sports anime concept but a decent twist. For me, it was really compelling as I kept wanting to watch more. The pacing was a bit weird ending at weird moments like an end of a big race instead of the "found out the result next time". The ending was really good as well. It wasn’t what I expected and it was perfect for how the show developed. I also really enjoyed the comedy of the show. It was exactly up my alley which was funny and weird conversations and interactions. Animation "Female Fan Service: The Anime" can describe the character design. They really focused on the physique and the musculature of all the characters. It was great attention to detail and it was always present. Well it had to be because they were shirtless 90% of the time. The colors well balance by not being too vivid but not to somber. I also really liked the dramatic sceneries they had as well. Sound The voice actors did a really good job. They had great range especially the one who played Rin. He displayed great emotion when it called for it and he nailed it. One thing I didn’t like is the music which kinda didn’t fit the show as a whole. The opening suggested for some real hardcore action but that’s not how I see the sport swimming. It also didn’t show how swimming was treated as a whole by the characters. There was also the weird dubstep in intense moments which I don’t really like. Characters First off they were pretty unique characters. Haruka is a genius of the sport but couldn’t care less about winning and just does it because he loves it. It so happens that he’s great at it. I haven’t seen another character like that in sports animes. There was also great character development. The only one that didn’t really get much growth is Nagisa but he’s like the innocent baby of the group. One thing I look for in sports anime is to have a group of people to also feel just as important as the main characters. It was somewhat there for me in this anime but it didn’t hurt me from enjoying each character. Each had a weird quirk that made them lovable. Overall To be honest, I was looking for a reason to dislike this show. However there was not much of a concrete reason to dislike it in the first place. It was a really solid show with a good unconventional plot and great characters. It touched all the bases for me that I want in an anime.
Ever since the popular anime Free! First aired back in July 2013, the show has been making huge splashes with it’s fanbase, so fans can now rejoice that the anime will return to us once again in a movie format!
