What are DTL's thoughts on futanari?
I wonder if there really is a market for something like FREE! to be honest; I don't remember the last all-male cast show that sold well. Popular fujoshi shows are stuff like Tiger and Bunny, Geass or F/Z, which have a pretty wide appeal. Going by what the director has said, there really isn't any audience for FREE! other than fujoshi. 
Now we're getting to the tough questions.
You're uncomfortable with anything that isn't vanilla shit. :lol
Vanilla?
You know when a guy and a girl...
???

You seem to be forgetting Kuroko's Basket.
Let me introduce you to my good friend Sei Shoujo.
I don't get how that has anything to do with vanilla...

They just need to put in a female manager.

That has regular female characters that appear every episode. And it was basically shounen-action poorly disguised as sports-manga/anime
It's an all-male school.
Guys getting with girls is plain.
Which icecream is a plain flavour?
Yes. Yes it is.

Perhaps there's an untapped audience that desire much more animated swimming in their lives.
That seems like a given no? Don't most sports anime always have female managers or make the manager's assistant female?
edit: nvm, I saw 7th's post about it being all boys school.
some untranslated episode of Jewelpet Sunshine:
"This is the country of jewels, Jewelland. From the unclouded eye of a pure jewel, the Jewelpets were born."
I got that far before my brain could no longer translate Japanese to English in real time. I've failed you, 7Th.
I did skip farther into the episode and saw this:
One of the three iron laws of Precure BROKEN. I'm kind of excited about the prospect of a plastic shit show that doesn't have Nintendo levels of paranoia about alienating its most conservative consumers.

Straight pairings are boring, plain, like vanilla ice cream.
Yuri is awesome and delicious, like strawberry ice cream.
You get?
It broke the "no punching in the face" and the "no romance" laws in the very first episode!
So what's yaoi?
Oh. I get it.
Coffee, cos it looks like shit. /SDBurton.
Oh god if only I could use gifs right now...
But Yuuta is a boy.
welp I'm watching some Kira Deco later.
note to self: explain everything to kayos in ice cream analogies from now on.

I'll reframe from commenting.
I'm not sure why any of this matters. It's a show about a male basketball team playing against other school teams. The majority of the characters a guys, and it's a show about guys playing basketball.
There are exactly 2 female characters here out of 16: http://www.kurobas.com/character/
Well, more stuff happened in this thread I see. Kind of figured Free! would drive the conversation for a good day or so.
It feels increasingly awkward to post any sort of news article from ANN, since I feel that (other issues about the site aside) it still should be on any English-speaking anime fan's newsfeed/Twitter/whatever and thus alerting people here to anything from it seems like it should be redundant, but anyway:
The new Tiger and Bunny - The Rising movie got a delay from this fall to February 2014 to improve the film's quality. They also posted a sweet new Kotetsu design too:

Look at that fashion sense. Impeccable.

Heartcatch Precure! Episode 43
A whole new baby! That isn't a fairy! The realization of Tsubomi becoming a big sister increases her Responsibility stat by 10 points. This manages to tie into victim of the week, who is dealing with the "Older Child is neglected for the younger one" disease. We also find out why Tsubomi is called Tsubomi, because symbolism.
Feels rather standard. They gain a beam I guess. Not much for me to say here in regards to the victim, although I liked her little chalk drawings.
Next episode is the Christmas episode from what I noticed. And Shit goes DOWN! It's ramping up!

Not much plot really.

Lamest. Desertrian. EVER. Seriously. Cobraja made a Desertrian out of a love letter. What's the worst that could happen there? Some nasty paper cuts? OH NOES! Man, if you want to beat them, you're gonna have to do a lot better than that.
"I'll eat and sleep a lot so I can grow up fast!" Uh...I think this kid may have the wrong idea what it means to "grow up". Sounds like he wants to "grow out".

Hakkenden: Eight Dogs of the East 1
Opening: Good.
Didn't really like this episode. I appreciate that they showed some backstory with the flashback when Shino (8/10 not as convincing as Haku or Bridget) and everyone else dying before taking Murasame from the blond. I just didn't like how they seem to skip some of the stuff throughout like Kenta getting caught or how Himaji ended up following the dogs and being taken away, each time making me feel like it was a lazy attempt when the episode was being made.
Shino himself looks to be annoying protagonist. Never been a big fan of the loud mouth ones and I don't see him changing it any time soon. On the otherhand, Sosuke seems really cool and I'm glad he seems to be a major character, since following Shino alone would probably make me drop this. The fact that he can turn into a dog definitely earned some bonus points from me.
The "action-shounen" part is what gives it a "wider" appeal; it was basically Kinnikuman or Ippo with pretty boys.
But you're right; I don't think I can safely claim that anyone other than fujoshi bought Kurobas.
It's better if you view the full size image.
But Arti-kun, you are my one true news source!
