I don't know, what exactly is so wtfish about Free!?
He's such a tool.

I watched it right before S2 aired, so I'm a little disappointed that I don't remember. I still don't think it was entirely necessary but what can you do?
The answer to this question is in your pants.
True enough; it's probably not different from the reason most K-ON! doujins (made by fans of the show/manga) include the obligatory faceless male character.

Evangelion 3.33:
Note: Anno is a brilliant director, and it shows here as well. But the writing... :/
I remember when playing Catherine, I had the same thought as Yahtzee did about the story. If the main character would take 5 minutes to just explain things rather than do nothing but angst about it, shit would eventually sort itself out.
Well, now. Eva 3.33 has successfully taken this formula and reversed the roles. Everyone in this movie sans Shinji is a massive twat (not that he doesn't do a few twat things himself...), and if they would just take a few minutes to not be such whiny bitches to explain what Shinji caused at the end of 2.22 to him then maybe that damn collar wouldn't have been fucking "necessary"
The irony of the entire fucking cast is best encapsulated in this bit:
Oh yeah, it's not like you and everyone else in the cast (except Sakura for the most part) isn't doing the exact same fucking thing! Project much? All of them basically disavow any of their wrongdoing in the past (esp. Misato) and pin all the blame on Shinji to assuage themselves of their own guilt. They fucking deserve to lose.
TL;DR: Everyone in this movie is a massive twat, and I can't root for any of them.

Now that I think about it, Free! is such a generic title.
I guess since it's not a LN adaptation, it has to be as short as possible.

Glasses > Black > Rival > Short blonde > Tall blonde.
Well, with how often we'll supposedly see the character's naked upper bodies, I'm sure they will at least have some decent references.
Lol, damn. That's really cute. Green especially.Hey guyz, I've found a superior FREE!
It's totally fujoshi shit. Not what I expected from KyoAni. I knew they were specialists in moe, but moe + fujoshi was completely unexpected.
Yup.

Not as dumb as the last episode but between the social crap and ERU ERFU being a god I couldn't stop laughing. HEY THE PRESIDENT WANTS TO BE YOUR FRIEND ON FACEBOOK! 700m friends etc. Also the best nut/screw escape since Chirico on VOTOMS 01.

I wish I was a Strike Witch too.
Yes, that's the 4koma I mentioned on the previous page. Can someone please translate the author's recent blog post?

Well, the thing with Free! is that it ALIENATES straight males and blatantly cuts any potential audience from that side; I say this because I'm sure otaku mostly prefer to not have ANY manservice in their anime.
Or at least that's what Shaft and Shinbo told me when they censored every single instance of it in Nisemonogatari.

INcredible how much vitriol this caused.
People should save all that hate and channel it towards something more deserving, like SAO.
Just google Free! + Kyoani or something. there are ways. Itsl ike finding stuff about the band "fun."
Wait, this week Chihayafuru is a recap?!
PERFECT gif for this!

Which is totally different when people watch shows for their waifus~
Here, here!
4chan HATES SAO to the bone, if that makes you feel any better.
That's not fair. Nishiya does great designs for every type of show!

It's serviceable, but they really should think of something more creative. Not LN length, but something.

Again Sdburton got it. Congrats to you Sdburton.
Seriously ? Let's check .... Damn .
Well it doesn't matter Ah ah ah . This is one of the things i've learned by watching "you're under arrest" 4 times.
Yes sometimes you can make an exception if the state of mind of the protagonist is in the right place.
Ok my first picture was a bad example...Should i flood this board with nanoha, marimite , yuru yuri and so on ???

Megane make both women and men more desirable, so what's to discuss?

bad gameplay lol
It sounds to me like he's announcing that Free! is going on hiatus. He then apologizes profusely, and (if I'm reading this right) says that the hiatus is not for health reasons, and that he'll be able to reveal the reason for the hiatus "when the time comes". There's also something about "untimely circumstances".
...huh. If I were a bit of a conspiracy theorist, I'd almost think that his Free! is going on forced hiatus due to KyoAni's Free!.

The actual Swimming Anime PV doesn't look very hot, tho. It looks about the same as Chuu2Koi and it has the same unpolished, gaudy art direction. KyoAni has been slacking lately; they didn't match their consistently visually stellar work in K-ON!(!), Nichijou and Hyouka in either Chuu2Koi or Tamako.

Or maybe KyoAni is trolling us and will then reveal that this Free! is actually the manga Free!

I don't think they can, since his manga came first I would think.
Exactly.
90% sure it'll be the latter.

When you rely on plot twist after plot twist instead of good characterisation (as in, not fucking stereotypes, or at least non-boring stereotypes) then it stands to reason the character moments are dull.
I had to stop around the fifteen minute mark. Nothing of consequence was happening, and instead I started browsing this thread while I was letting it play. I think that says everything about my opinions on this show.

Again, conspiracy theorist stuff here, but if this happened, I'm sure money was involved somehow. Even if his came first, I'm sure he (or Manga Time Kirara) wouldn't object to putting it on hiatus for the right price.

And the K-ON and Haruhi movies too. Those things were gorgeous.
I'll be a supporter of #teamglasses from the sidelines just because they're red.
Well, at least we can have people post their orgasms in here about the water animation, if anything good is to come about this.
You have a Dr.Slump avatar so we're good.
