    Love This, Excellent and Emotional

    Really excellent anime about best friends swimming together, why does it not have an IMDb rating of 8. I also wanted to see them going to the Olympics - why did it finish so soon.

    However I have just come to realise that Crunchyroll has all the videos of it, so I am going unto Funimation.

    This animation is fantastic. Yes I did admire the lads looks and all but its not always about that. The fact the English dub cast did such an amazing job at voicing the characters and the fact, the characters are pure likeable! As well as that, everyone gets on well even if they have their own quarrels or act dumb (which has its hilarious moments).

    Free review

    I was able to finish the first season and watch some of the second season pretty fast. But after that I had stopped watching the show Becuse it was getting boring and repetitive. I was planning on coming back to the show but as time went on it seem very unlikely. So one day I just went to tried to pick up where I left but one ep in I realized that I was over the season since it was really bored and there wasn't a enough drama so I moved on from the show. As of right now I have no plan on finishing the anime. This series need more going on this just swimming and friendship. I recommend this show if you like swimming and don't mind that it not very action packed or drama full. Becuse it only a super chill show about swimming nothing else beside that happens in the show. But it good for all ages no matter if your young or old.

    One of the best Sports anime about swimming

    I really didn't expect to like an anime about swimming that much but it's really good. It's about friendship & Team spirit with exciting sports actions like races and stuff. There's also drama and comedy in it. Haru & Rin's rivalry is pretty amazing too. They used to be friends when they were young but something happened that turned them into rivals.

    Here's the synopsis for this series.

    "Competitive swimmer Haruka Nanase adapts to new conditions in and out of the water when he begins college, trains for new swimming competitions, and tries to repair a broken friendship with his middle school buddy, Ikuya Kirishima."

    I highly recommend this series.

    Free! delivers an interesting message

    Not an action oriented anime for sure. If you want action you will find none here. Free! is a chill anime with a bunch of hot guys. The story plot is lacking in strength and a well defined purpose, I wish I could have seen more character development and more intrigue. I give an 8/10 for the beautiful art and for the voice acting.
