Free! is now the darling even of 2ch:

“God, this is too good for a homo anime, it is troubling! And show us Gou’s swimwear please!”

“This is absurdly good, really good fun.”

“This episode was the most rotten yet…”

“Every episode is seriously good, this is the best anime of the season for caps!”

“If only we saw Gou in her swimsuit it would be perfect!”

“Surely we’ll see it in the summer. Even her smile is enough to be getting on with.”

“KyoAni are taking things a bit far with the swimwear service in this show.”

“Megane is too much of a minx!”

“This week’s was great as well, how good is this show.”

“This anime is just trying to turn us all gay, and seems to be succeeding…”

“I can’t swim but this makes me wish I could!”

“I didn’t have much hope for this… but I ended up just loving Rin.”

An interview in which the production staff reveal “writing became much easier after we started to think of Haruka as the heroine” sheds some light on all this…

    I don't dislike guys. I can even endure yaoi. But muscles? Man, if I don't even like muscular women how am I supposed to watch macho men with bishie faces?

    They don't have merely bishie faces. Their faces are girly and also their behavior is totally effeminate.

    Stop trying to trick me into watching gay anime, Sankaku.
    I refuse to believe it could be even a slightly good show.

    Comment by Taylor

    Amen. Btw the fujoshi organized a rally to downvote all the anti free posts. They are trying to beat us with numbers. You guys need to stop working against me or we will lose everything!

    Nothing. Nobody should be able to tell you who to love, or who you should marry.
    But straight men do not like to see the body of other men. You can argue if it's caused by society like the disgust when you see a spider, but that doesn't help now. As long as its part of me and I have no desire to change that, you'll have to live with me tolerating it but not embrassing and wanting to stay as far away as possible from it.

    Thank you. And I did yours as well though it went right back down. We all may have disagreed and cursed each other out in the past. But we move on and get over it by next topic. I for one vote up my opponents all the time on new topics if they said something good or funny. I'm one person with one vote and I wont use more than that and though we all might have disagreed I still dont want to see sankaku go to shit and all the comments are compromised. But thats what artefact gets when he starts to cater to women, femimen, and fujoshi. They don't care about democracy and honor, they only care about their "feeeelinggss" and if their feeelings are hurt then that justifies any wrong doing. You wanted more women and fujoshi here artey? Well ya got it, and along with it all your comments get voted to shit making sankaku pointless because of them. Ruining everything. We warned this day would come.

    Taylor, Taylor, Taylor. I only get a few hours of sleep (shortened because of insomnia) and you're still ranting.

    My vision of things:
    • You don't seem to want democracy either (although downvoters are antidemocratic to).
    • Sankaku was already pointless because of articles like "wow, amazing tentacle rape!" or "hey look, she now wears a ponytail!"
    • What can you do against this? Well you can write a letter to Artefact. Or you can keep crying delicious tears. Or you ask for a secession of SanCom into two: on one side, a homophobic and moe-tentacle-rape Sankaku; and on the other side, a tolerant, fujoshi-welcoming Sankaku.

    Oh and by the way, I looked a bit in these interesting comments. And it seems like I have a friend here! (aside from the quality of the spelling…)

    It's simple: the less you'll accept people different than you, the more they'll try to invade you. Action, reaction.

    Sankaku please keep posting Free because maybe Taylor will get so mad he'll have a stroke and we won't have to deal with him.
    Ah, I just figured out that must be the plan. Excellent. The less pathetic beta kids spewing dumb shit around the Internet, the better.

    Commenters like this are so insecure about their own sexuality that it's kind of painful to read. If you can't even look at a guy without thinking about gay sex, I have some bad news for you...

    I'm gonna stick with Watamote this season :P

    Comment by Anonymous

    It's kind of funny the main character in watamote would probably qualify as a fujoshi and would probably drool over anime like this and everyone loves her and yet here everyone is all "wah wah evil fujoshi."

    the speedos are a reason for not watching it but the red haired girl looks kinda nice, dont know her personality yet, however waiting for the show to end befor i decide if i watch it or not

    Comment by Anonymous

    She exists mostly just to ogle all the sexy dudes in their swimwear and say lines like, "ahnn, those triceps~♥"

    Comment by Taylor

    Don't pay attention to her. Its a trap! They threw her in there so guys would watch and at the end of the season you're going to be a hairy legged dude wearing a dress. Look Away. No good will come of watching free.

    Because Sankaku posts about anime and it is an anime... And a very good one, might I add. I'm really enjoying it so far, and I definitely didn't expect to at first. I was a little iffy about all the man-muscles being flaunted around at first, but I don't think about it at all now.

    Comment by Taylor

    Oh my fuck what the fuck is sankaku turning into that we're getting posts like this on the regular bases now.

    Goddamit...men...we are losing the battle on sankaku. If this continues we're going to end up on ANN or even worse...crunchyroll.

    But your over reaction is feeding the Fujoshis.

    Comment by Taylor

    Another free post. What a surprise. Wow we haven't had this much coverage on one anime on sankaku EVERRRRRRRR. And that's no exaggeration. Sankaku never goes episode to episode even on the most perverted anime which I though was sankakus modus operandi. Wait leme think back if I'm right..was kiss x sis covered this much...NOPE! Other than to love ru manga, no ANIME has been covered they way Free is being covered. I wonder why..Could this be the turn in anime to start to center and focus on women I warned about you all said Im crazy and could never happen? Hm..

    I have been on this site for less than a year. By the looks of it, you seem to be an old-timer here (YearS, maybe). And... for some reason, it seems even I was able to realize what seems to be obvious even to newcomers here: all these Free! articles are just for trolling. Trolling, and nothing else. Yes: including those 2ch comments.

    Incidentally, they also help on uncovering some people with hive-mind thinking: just weeks ago, all Free!-related articles were scathing and negative, and so were all comments. Now, all articles are (falsely) apraising and positive, and SUDDENLY, some people do the same on comments more often than before... Not many, but still.

    Yes, indeed, some people blindly follow what this site says about something without even verifying its sources. Hive-mind at its best.

    They look like that because they have been swimming & exercising since CHILDHOOD.
    You would fucking know that if you ACTUALLY watched the anime instead if judging it by mere pictures and idiotic hate comments

    I know young men who aren't even in their 20's but love sports so much and have been playing so long they have very muscular bodies.

    Now does every guy look like that? No. But does that mean it can't exist?

    Also, you could say the EXACT same things about how anime girls look perfect no matter what age.

    Your reasons to hate free are so hypocritical. If females want to enjoy a hot character just like males do why stop them?

    I sincerely hope Sankaku never stops blogging this because you lots babymantears will never get old. They're way more entertaining than the show itself.
