Youthful swim-fest anime Free! continues its highly anticipated second season to great approval, by the looks of it having secured both the rotten crowd and all those who are forced to keep watching out of sheer morbid addiction.
Considering that not all women who would like this stuff are fujoshi, and that a lot of healthy, normal straight girls would be attracted to fit male bodies on attractive characters... can someone tell me WHY there are so many dudes here trying to discourage pervertness in women? Because I'm honestly baffled why you WOULDN'T want perverted girls around.
i actually have a girlfriend over facebook who i met through our mutual love for anime like seikon no qwaser, but she's even more perverted than me and also likes anime like free... i fully support her for that, thankfully for me, and seriously if i didn't i'd just be a huge hypocrite, wouldn't I? but if i were unlucky enough to be like most of the guys here and was disgusted by her practicing basically the same kind of hobby i have for years and which she supports me for, i totally wouldn't blame her for hating me and i'd feel like an idiot for losing such an amazing friendship over such useless bigotry...
if you've been here long enough you'd realize that the majority of this site composes of broken, misogynistic 'men' who love to whine about how all 3d women are 'evil' and that all they need are 2d girls and how they can't wait for robot loli sex slaves to come into existence. they don't even want real girls to share the same internet space as them, let alone the planet. they're practically the antithesis to radical feminazis, and a guy named taylor is/was their prophet. i'm just a straight guy here who loves all kinds of anime, especially ones with sexy, busty women, like agent aika and witchblade, and who also supports equality and good times for everyone in a world where we can all be happy together... and even i feel like i'm in a minority around here just for that.
or we could just be trolling and seriously, only the minority are actually commenting. The majority are lurkers so your "majority" argument is just invalid.
1. It's a sports anime.
2. It's a sports anime.
3. It's a sports anime.
I can't think of a genre that is more boring and follow-the-checklist than this. Every time I try to watch a sports anime, I turn it off in under 5 minutes.
Despite the praise about Free, I still couldn't make it past 5 minutes.
It's not a sports anime. They don't have special moves that they suddenly pull out to win. They don't have races spanning multiple episodes, analyzing every part of their technique.
so? its not the sports that this is about, its the fangirlservice. i don't watch it myself yet still praise it for breaking barriers and showing the anime world that women are just as capable of having their drool shows as guys are... they have something of their own to watch now, and more to come, rather than complaining about what we watch... finally it's proven that were all not so different from each other and that girls can be just as horny and perverted and guys are.
do you know people that keeps calling others gay or homo is actually the risky one... there's scientific study about that somewhere, you can look for it.
Speaking as someone who cant stand anime that are just about hot guys and nothing else, I think it's a pretty good sports anime and it's also very funny at times.
Always amazed at the amount of guys who refuse to watch it because they dont want to look past the fanservice when 'looking past the fanservice' is what female anime fans have to do constantly. I mean look at Kill La Kill, every time someone complains about the fanservice in it an avalanche of people descend on them sayig 'you have to look PAST that! stop being shallow and only looking at the fanservice!' but when it comes to Free!, suddenly the guys dont want to look past the fanservice, and can't see the hilarious irony in that...
The guys I know that do watch it, all straight guys, admit to finding it entertaining. In the end I think it depends more on whether you like sports anime or not, not 'fujoshi anime', because I like Free and hate just about every other fujoshi anime.
Yeah, haven't you heard, anime with fanservice in them cant have a story, even when they do! Doesn't matter if the story is good or not, it must be blindly hated and its fans must be shamed.
I have a lot of male friends, mostly online but some offline. With the offline friend, we often dare eachother to watch anime we wouldnt normally (he will usually dare me to watch one of those big wobbly tit shows, and once I dared him to watch Free). He said that Free was 'actually a lot better than I thought' and ended up watching the whole thing, mostly finding the fanservice more funny than off-putting. And I'm pretty sure he's straight because he has a girlfriend and I dont see why he has any reason to lie to her.
Online friends could be lying about being straight but again, why the hell would they? They're pretty open about most other stuff and dont have a problem with gay people, unlike the guys here, although I doubt the guys here have many friends.
Quit trying to justify your fetish as if it's something normal to Anime. Harems, Hentai, & Ecchi don't pretend to be something they're not.
Are we done with the Ho-Mo-e (Homo Moe) experiment Kadokawa? You got Haruhi, K-On!, & Railgun on the bench so what? You can cash in on gay girls & sissy guys?
Those are called friendships... sure you can read more into those friendship if you want to, just like with any other shows, especially those with 'bromances', but that doesn't mean they're supposed to be implied homosexual undertones. If that's the case then two male characters who swim together can never have a friendship again without being considered gay.
@23:20 - if there's a lack of intelligence in the sub-reddits you are reading, that means you're either not looking hard enough for intelligent conversation, or the things you choose to read/partake in on that site are retarded in the first place. Derp harder anon.

I'm all for girls/gays watching this thing. Hell I might even watch it if it's fun.
i have never heard any gays talk about watching free, only time i will hear is attack on titans or sailor moon
dont try to understand male logic.
Look at these dopes trying to hard to justify their Inter-loper tastes in the land that Kawaii/Hentai built.
Asian didn't spend all this energy on Anime to watch it get FUCKED UP by fuckin' girls desires. Go make youre on Boys Love version of Sankaku
and don't try to generalize all of us either
Relax, it's not sexism if it's against males.
No one wants 3DPD!

Oh, look, common sense!

Oh, come on, cut the feminist crap.
My three reasons why I don't watch:
1. It's a sports anime.
2. It's a sports anime.
3. It's a sports anime.
I can't think of a genre that is more boring and follow-the-checklist than this. Every time I try to watch a sports anime, I turn it off in under 5 minutes.

It's not a sports anime. They don't have special moves that they suddenly pull out to win. They don't have races spanning multiple episodes, analyzing every part of their technique.
so? its not the sports that this is about, its the fangirlservice. i don't watch it myself yet still praise it for breaking barriers and showing the anime world that women are just as capable of having their drool shows as guys are... they have something of their own to watch now, and more to come, rather than complaining about what we watch... finally it's proven that were all not so different from each other and that girls can be just as horny and perverted and guys are.
All the homo.
You'd only be thinking homo thoughts if you were somehow attracted. Otherwise accept it's for girls and move on dude.
says the fag who posted Anonymously Haha!.... wait a sec
Feel bitter bro? You just need to get your fat ass off the keyboard.
Do you put YOUR ass on the keyboard... weirdo~~~~
do you know people that keeps calling others gay or homo is actually the risky one... there's scientific study about that somewhere, you can look for it.
All the homophobic
I don't get what all the hate is about. Are we supposed to be surprised that girls like watching physically fit men?
NOOOOOO - we're suprised Sankaku can't seem to shut up about this one Show.
i'm suprised it still reports on the to love ru manga when every page of ecchi in it they report on is the same as its been since the beginning
Seriously, is this ANY good?
Speaking as someone who cant stand anime that are just about hot guys and nothing else, I think it's a pretty good sports anime and it's also very funny at times.

Wut? Kill La Kill had something past the fanservice?
kill la kill didn't save anime
kill la kill just save your sorry excusable ass
banboy fuckwads
Yeah, haven't you heard, anime with fanservice in them cant have a story, even when they do! Doesn't matter if the story is good or not, it must be blindly hated and its fans must be shamed.
apparently kill la kill has a plot. not a very good one, but anyone who says so would get downvoted.
you are a girl, right? how do you even know guys in rea life if you watch free?
I have a lot of male friends, mostly online but some offline. With the offline friend, we often dare eachother to watch anime we wouldnt normally (he will usually dare me to watch one of those big wobbly tit shows, and once I dared him to watch Free). He said that Free was 'actually a lot better than I thought' and ended up watching the whole thing, mostly finding the fanservice more funny than off-putting.

nah is sankaku trolling us.
They've been Trolling the same joke since this stupid show was a short film - at what point does Sankaku go full gay?
It is really well animated and a good sports anime. Nice comedy and pretty good music.
Let the downvoting begin.
(Of misplaced anti-fujoshi rants.)
rants would be betterthan what we are getting, whichis just mindless bashing and hating
GAYASS SHITSHOW
The only way you'd think this was gay is if you were somehow stupid enough to think this was in any way directed at men.
Quit trying to justify your fetish as if it's something normal to Anime. Harems, Hentai, & Ecchi don't pretend to be something they're not.
Are we done with the Ho-Mo-e (Homo Moe) experiment Kadokawa? You got Haruhi, K-On!, & Railgun on the bench so what? You can cash in on gay girls & sissy guys?
No one said it's directed at men. Go have your sad brain checked.
here here!!
I don't care that it exists (In its own corner of the Anime-verse) but WHY does Sankaku feel the need to wastes News space on it?
Season 1 was a novelty story but now I think Sankaku really like this show - what audience are you trying to please??
THIS ISN'T A GAY SHOW FOR FUJOSHI!! i actually know fans of this show that are annoyed when people 'ship the guys together!
lol, you don't even know who this hypocritical show is for.
It's just fujoshi homo stuff. At least just admit it, it will be faaar less annoying this way.
How do people get mad at shipping in this show, it basically paired the guys up and push the ships in your face from the first episode...
this is pass been a bromance
Those are called friendships... sure you can read more into those friendship if you want to, just like with any other shows, especially those with 'bromances', but that doesn't mean they're supposed to be implied homosexual undertones. If that's the case then two male characters who swim together can never have a friendship again without being considered gay.
@16:34 - like you even watched it, let alone read too far into the relationships
give me one example of a gay couple in this show and what they did to make that clear to the viewers... go on, prove it
of course, as usual, lots of downvoting around here but hardly any intelligent discussion
@23:20 - if there's a lack of intelligence in the sub-reddits you are reading, that means you're either not looking hard enough for intelligent conversation, or the things you choose to read/partake in on that site are retarded in the first place. Derp harder anon.
Just like muh redditts!
