Are you watching the anime of the year, Free!? It's being animated by KyoiAni, the studio that brought us stuff like K-On! and Haruhi. It's about a bunch of highschool boys who are interested in swimming. The main plot focuses around two childhood friends who became rivals in swimming, so there is alot of heated tension between the two.
The first episode aired today. It even had a scene where two of the main characters go skinny dipping (together, of course). I can't wait to see what happens next.

Do I have to pay to watch it?
-
Uh... no. Just no.

[i]God yes...[/i]

This has more manservice than HotD has fanservice... But only if you exclude episode 6.
-
Aaaaaaannnnnnddddd... Nope.

Where's Verbatim when you need him?

Nah, man I don't like yaoi
-
You can measure how much I like an anime based on how many people die in each episode. So, OP, how many people died in that first episode?
-
[quote]It's about a bunch of highschool boys who are interested in swimming.[/quote] Wow that sure sounds thrilling.
-
Also if anyone wants to see how amazing it is here is the ending animation/song. How can you not like that?

Edited by Spartan Ken 15: 7/4/2013 2:12:39 PMThis show had a bunch of people trolling and excited about it so I saw the 1st episode of it yesterday. Not as "ghey" as I thought it would be, seems kind of boring though, very simple anime so far. It didn't make me feel as uncomfortable as high school of the dead so that is a good thing I suppose. The only reason I think it got popular was because some female weeabos saw it was guys instead of girl swimmers.

Edited by aBallisticToucan: 7/4/2013 7:21:41 AMI remember when it first got shown and it was just "Swimming Anime." Also, I thought the big anime on the block this year was AoT?
-
Sounds very... [spoiler]LAME!~[/spoiler]
-
It's the pinnacle of Japanese animation! No other anime can compare!
-
Why watch that when I can just go to the local swimming pool and stare at people?
-
Is this really anime of the year, or you just dub it that, OP?
-
I don't know, it looks kinda gay. But /a/ had a sh**storm over it so I might just watch it out of spite.
-
Very relevant.
-
Have fun watching your dumber than -blam!- cartoon.
-
I will probably just watch it due to /a/. As for liking it I find that unlikely. Also it is definitely not AoTY.
-
That has to be the silliest premise for a show I've ever seen. Anybody with a brain could tell you it's basically just Yaoi fuel.
-
It's just about swimming?
-
I need to finish the second season of Sengoku Basara. It's a meh anime.

Edited by Oneironaut: 7/4/2013 2:22:23 AMThose characters look awfully gay, even by anime standards... Anyway, OT: No. I find that sports animes are usually very, very boring.
