Wow! So, so, so, SO, SO, SO long since I last posted! So, how ya doin' guys? Good, I hope. Well for those of you in the anime/manga community you will know that the along waited swimming anime entitled Free! or Free!- Iwatobi Swim Club debuted last week. The anime was highly anticipated, especially by female fans, ever since its original promo video got on YouTube. Afterwards it exploded across tumblr and created a fanbase within hours, although the anime itself is based on a light novel by Kouji Ouji about four boys who are friends who are apart of a swimming club and is animated by Kyoto Animation (Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Clannad, Kanon, Air, Angel Beats).
I used to be a swimmer myself, along with my brother, and at first thought: "An anime about swimming? That'll be interesting!" That is until I saw the original promo:
Oh, I know who this anime is for now. I watched the anime on the day of its debut and it looked pretty decent. However, I think that it's a sequel to K-On for some reason. The opening and ending sequences are both quite good, but the ending just made me laugh a bit. This is is definitely for the fangirls. But that's okay, the girls need some fanservice, or manservice, for themselves at some point.
Anyway if you want to watch the first episode click here! Enjoy the manservice! Watch it for the "plot". Have fun :)
