“Finally!” – Free! Second Season Announced

Fujoshi around the world are rejoicing at the news that KyoAni’s beloved manly swimming anime Free! is now confirmed as returning for a second season (not that this was in any real doubt), though the announcement seems likely to provoke mixed feelings amongst the studio’s traditional fanbase.
Dates for the new series are not yet released, but the last season ended with the unsubtle warning “see you next summer.”
Some of the latest disc sales figures seem to show Free! as actually being Kyoto Animation’s 4th best selling anime of all time, narrowly beating Clannad and Lucky Star – although if sales were all that motivated KyoAni presumably their output would have degenerated into a stream of K-ON! and Haruhi spin-offs and successors:
(2009) 43,883 K-ON!
(2006) 42,525 Haruhi
(2010) 39,385 K-ON!!
(2013) 30,601 Free!
(2007) 29,146 Lucky Star
(2005) 24,436 AIR
(2007) 24,808 CLANNAD
(2008) 19,884 CLANNAD AFTER STORY
(2009) 19,602 Haruhi New
(2006) 18,170 Kanon
With a second season even K-ON! may be in danger of losing its primacy at the studio.

nope still no interest in free, well at least we got Chunibyo S2
"We" got Chuunibyou?
Chuu2 is as much for females as it is for males.
And second season is lackluster.
You are retarded.
I agree with Noodlestein.
I think Chuunibyou season 2, while still yet have to prove itself, do have some genuinely good moment. So far, it is one of the season 2 anime that disappoint me to the point I am scream: "Why? Why?!"
Sorry, I still cannot get over the disappointment of Baka to Test, Koreha Zombie Desuka, and Haruhi season 2..
>haruhi season 2 bad
stay pleb
I think he used "we" representing everyone that watch it.
But its still better than this GAY-FEST
hope some other studio grabs full metal panic, the manga is over and looks like kyoani's gayness will not stop for now.
if u think about it logically. why would kyoani or any other anime studios pickup or ask to do more of FMP in the form of anime? studios don't produce animes for ur pleasure or enjoyment, they make them for profit (like any other business). FMP has being selling decently and was able to retain a decent fanbase after the initial 1st and 2nd season animes yrs ago. not needing any further sales boost for the manga for the past 10yrs and now that the manga had finished, whats the point for them to make another season? selling dvds/bds are not profitable enough unless its the likes of 'haruhi', 'k-on', 'madoka' ect.....
I still want FMP!
shitty moetard, you wont get any haruhi -kon madoka EVER
So much hate. It's not like anyone is forced to watch it.
IT PROMOTES BOY LOVE, THATS WHY STILL HATE!!!
So don't friggin watch it, moron.

Right on, can't wait for more swimming fun.
How sad that Free has sold better than some of those shows on that list.
B.B...But its still GAY!!
So it finally dawned on me, people who visit and comment on this site are morons.
raging otaku anonymous people are a bunch of morons in this site.
fixed my friend!!
anonymous people are morons on this site.Remember that.
how ironic
This just shows how desperate fujoshis really are ;)
Dat manservice with the KyoAni budget.
All this homophobia and hate is making me interested an "Free". But I still want more K-ON! and Lucky Star.
All your haters, no other is forced to watch. "Remember who is the real enemy!"

you wish!

If you were girls, you would love this anime.
Imagine that every single moe anime, harem anime, etc had boys instead of girls. You would hate it, right?
That is how girls feel. All day, every day. Japan, America, it makes no difference. It is inescapable.
You pretend to like girls, but only if they are "perfect". "Perfect" meaning being a retarded 2D little girl with doe eyes and a gaudy costume. And you hate the things girls like.
Maybe if you were better gentlemen, you would get a real girlfriend with a real pussy. I touched a Tenga onahole once, it felt nothing like my piece, it felt like rubber with oil on it. Not fun.
right right.. so this series is most likely for women who, despite all their efforts, doesn't get the D if we go with what you just said. so, your point? also, every season there's a otome series so why should kyoani produce something like this when before, they can easily cater to both male and female?
Answer: they no longer have stories that could or the stories they WANT to pick, they can't pick since the authors doesn't want their work to be turned like the moefied Lupin III.
oh wow.. didn't FMP finish in the manga already? WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO FINISHING THE SERIES FOR THAT HUH?! damn.. moeblob catering is the new business for kyoani i tell ya..
YOUNG MAN! There's no need to feel down!
all this people saying "YAOI SHIT!!111 fUck fujoshit!!111" but isn't even yaoi, obviously never watch it. And I hope they don't, we don't need stupid people watching this, they don't even buy stuff.
Please cry more of how you hate this
There's already enough fat fujoshits watching this as it is... I don't think the audience can get any dumber than that.
your tricks wount work, this anime sucks asss homo, ONLY HOMOS WATCH IT.
