Even after 8 episodes KyoAni’s BL masterpiece Free! continues to enjoy high praise from non-fujoshi, with everything from its flawless production values and engaging storyline to its latest tsundere twist coming in for high praise.
I gave this a series a try and ignored the fanservice but dropped it after two episodes. This series has very little plot because it is more character-driven and a I felt the most characters were uninteresting and many of the situations were too forced (sometimes absurdly forced) in order to cause some sort problem/conflit or innuendo.
As for, if you should try, it depends on your tastes and you should decide it by yourself. Just watch one or two episodes and if don't like it, just drop it.
I was hoping for some solid plot, wouldn't wanna miss out on a good story or fascinating characters, just because it is a subject that doesn't initially interest me.
From what you've said, i think i'll probably pass on this series, though.
"Said the fat guy living in his parents basement all day, kissing the poster on the wall."
LOL. Douchebag. There actually are reasons to hate this anime other than "it's gay" and "it does not have cute girlz in it" duh. Think hard and consider other possibilities low IQ chump.
I'm watching it with my girlfriend and I dare say it'ss pretty damn good, think of it as a reverse moeblob, the story isn't too deep, there's a bit of fan-service, but it's quite enjoyable. If you liked The Prince of Tennis, then you should be used to the type of fan-service.
same anon as before.
I don't see the fanservice as a problem because I was in a swim club my whole life, so being around topless guys doesn't seem gay to me. Meh
I'm pretty sure the reason she doesn't talk about her modeling career is because she was in porn. The Coach/Pizza guy keeps saying "Have I seen you somewhere before?" which I think is hinting at that.
I'm not into sports anime, and I thought that's what this was going to be, but it's more of a slice of life/comedy anime. I'm really impressed with it and think it's entertaining enough to keep watching. The animation is pretty amazing, and I'm impressed with how they carried it off. It's not easy to make some of these motions believable. All in all I'd say it won't be your favorite but it's definitely enjoyable. The fanservice is easy to ignore considering that since people are swimming it only seems natural for them to be barely clothed. I have zero reaction to it and don't think it's gratuitous enough to be distracting.
People like Taylor make tons of accounts to make it seem like everyone hates this anime, but clearly it's doing well, so it just makes him look like a butthurt idiot.
The last picture of blond guy air fellatio-ing the glasses fag is actually a teaser for the "Director's cut" Blu-ray edition.
Fujoshi please die.
Otaku please die.
That sword cuts both ways.
Not really, since fujoshi are the worst aggressive, obsessive bitches I've ever seen.
Which is why the otaku starts off by telling others to die.
So, you didn't read literally the comment just ahead of that one? Damn.
And otaku on here have been FAR more aggressive and obsessive than anyone else on here, that's for sure.
somehow i dont feel sorry for attaku ;P
godly? are u serious? fukkin g@y boy anime up in here... its shit just like japan has become lol.. good thing i stop watching anime @.@;
D~awwwwwww, how cute! Someone's a raging homophobic piece of shit!
Like if Japan never had gay stuff before...
Lot of happy stuff from Nippon.
and now stop replying on anime posts and everyone will be a bit happier ;)
Everyone will be a bit more gay. (Gay = happy).
sorry but i know gay only as harrassment and exilement.
Yes but you're ignorant. No need to advertize that.
Sono Chi no Sadame!
You don't enjoy watching cartoon? Now, that's suck.
What's anime?
I kinda expected the last image would pop in one of these eventually... =w =
pop or poop?
eh it is still ok. just sad how the first 2 episodes were so misleading. both in term of the focus on the swimming and the rivalry
arrangement of ero pics is marvelous lol
The last one..bleeeeeeeeeee..
Gay in speed of light..flashhh..
So, should i give this anime a chance?
I'm not gay nor a silly homophobe, and i don't really care about swimming, but i do like a good story. Is it worth the try?)

Thanks for your answer!

Give it a chance? Do u want to watch a show about a bunch of muscled up, steroid abusing losers swimming?
I don't know. That sounds like a brilliant plot for a comedy.
For a comedy where they constantly screw up, sure. Maybe a parody of Yaoi anime.
Apart from the swimming part sounds like Jersey Shore
> muscled up, steroid abusing losers swimming?

Well, if the story turns out to be really good, why not? That is possible, you know.
(I don't watch anime to fap, by the way)
The story here is not remotely good but to each his own.
this is why i will be skipping it :)

Prince of Penis? come on ....
Prince of Penis.
You are an awesome boyfriend!
Slam dunk is better and funnier.
lone female character + clothing = FAIL
multiple male characters - clothing = FAIL

hey why are all reasonable posts being downvoted?
Gou is so cute and I ship her with the boys more than the boys with eachother honestly
She has her own personality and style.
I hate it when people assume she is just like a generic boring reverse harem protag
Ama sensei on the other hand... im still waiting for an ep dedicated to her. I wonder why she never wants to talk about her modeling career
seriously.. you're talking like readers'mail corner of a girly magazine...
I'm pretty sure the reason she doesn't talk about her modeling career is because she was in porn. The Coach/Pizza guy keeps saying "Have I seen you somewhere before?" which I think is hinting at that.

emmm, why is this being downvoted?
Online bigot army?
