Oh, why did I ever pick this anime up? Why did I ever make myself suffer? Why did I let myself shed tears? Why did I ever make myself watch this?
These questions are the questions I ask myself every day after crying that Free! 1) probably won't be getting a season 4 soon and 2) is now taking place in college and Haru's new team CANNOT compete against his old HS team.
The moment I saw that Rei & Nagisa montage in season 3, I knew I had fallen HARD for this show. Like ouch - no longer will there be any Haru & Makoto & Rei & Nagisa. Makoto quit swimming, Haru's swimming with his team, and now Rei and Nagisa are left with the excuse of Iwatobi members (haha, yes, I am not fan of the new SC). But hey, that goes to show how well they developed their friendship!
This anime is NOT just fanservice. This anime is WAY more than fan service. It's about swimming, broken bonds, repaired friendship, and of course, true to every sports anime - the power of teamwork! It started out as "Free", changed into "For the Team", and lastly "For the Future". For the future indeed!
It's a heartwarming anime with funny side characters and an engaging plot.
Only complaint was that the MC was sorta repetitive and whinny. (But hey, the side characters and plot for season 1 & 2 more than cover it up.)
"Because I knew that you would start crying." Dang it, Sosuke, now I'M crying.
