僕は昔水泳部に入っていたけど、このアニメは完全にゲイだよ!何でもいいけど、見たくない。Honestly, it’s marketed towards a very specific audience that I don’t fall into. I try to get into different anime here in Japan, but there is just too much stuff like this marketed towards オタク. That’s why a lot of people here don’t know about the classics like Akira or cowboy bebop. They only care about one piece or purely perverted stuff.

Um, I don’t mean to be mean or anything (and I already said this to someone else), but the production studios were already planning on making it an anime, before the huge outburst online. We had little to do with the making of it, including websites like tumblr and such. Mostly because they really don’t care about the western popularity of anime since not many people from here buy their merchandise. You can thank the Japanese fangirls!

Coming from a guy who probably masturbates to the 13 year old kids Naruto, I’m not sure if that’s such an insult.
‘Sides, why can’t us girls enjoy ourselves sometimes? (Of course if you’re gay, this is a gold mine). It’s not often that we get a whole anime for fanservice!

Just chill out. Girls (or guys) liking something doesn’t mean that we’re whores. You wouldn’t like someone calling you a “pathetic weeabo” just because you watched an anime that was made to cater for dudes.

Well, they did. Go to MAL or /a/ and they were all saying girls were delusional to think that KyoAni would ever make a bishie anime.
That said, it is true that KyoAni does not care about the Western fandom for a simple reason: most western fans don’t buy the official Bluray/DVD or Character and Drama CDs and other official merchandise.

Ok, an anime with the following things that anime-fanatics girls love:
1. Hot looking anime guys
2. water
3. Hot looking anime guys showing skin
4. Hot looking anime guys in the water
5. Skin hugging swimwear.
6. Hot looking guys together in water

I think officially the category’s shojo, but there’s a good chance there’s gonna be a few inside jokes and a diluted and (frankly inevitable, given the limited character pool) underlying BL theme. I mean, the odd nod towards fanservice. Correct me if I’m wrong, but as far as I know, I don’t think KyoAni’s ever done full out BL/shounen ai/yaoi themed animes before so I doubt they’re gonna jump in the deep end with Free, but hey, we can hope!

Personally, I don’t care if it’s yaoi or not. I just want something fun to watch over the summer, and this will probably fit the bill. (But if there is a girl, I want her actually be interesting and not just some empty shell with a pretty face.) But if it’s not yaoi, I want them to at least explain that damn shovel. Seriously, did they drown someone in the pool like I’ve seen people say before? Because I’d watch that show, too. Actually, I’d probably like that better.

I think it may prove to be a very good anime, and I’m looking forward to it.

My point still stands. There’s something called ‘Yaoi’ and ‘Shouenai’ which are animes about gay men. Shouenai is more like the fluffy PG-13 type romances, while Yaoi is basically M rated, and most often then not it’s PWP.

Not really.

I personally don’t watch anime for the fanservice (that’s why, to me, the Black Butler manga is far superior to the anime) but it’s easy enough to notice it. The boob/hot guy ratio is rather high, and when it comes to anime pool scenes usually the females get more attention. But yeah, I get what you’re saying, since hot guys are usually flashed all over the place.

Look it doesn’t matter what anime you watch their will always be Yaoi/Yuri/Hentai Fanfiction for it. If that bothers you so much, then you just might need to leave the world of Anime or better yet “DON’T READ THE FUCKING SHIT.” I understand where you’re coming from. I hate when people take obviously hetero characters and make them gay. They did that with Bleach and it pissed me off, so I just don’t read the fanfiction. point blank. Every Anime isn’t going to kiss your ass, so chill the fuck out.

I don’t like making a big deal out of things but dude, you need to chill out. You’re right, this isn’t a yaoi or shounen-ai and for most of us that’s how we like it. For others, they’d like to see a little more in it than that- hence the creation of fan fiction. Honestly, I don’t see anything wrong with that. They’re not making you read it until your eyes bleed. And anime usually has a particular demographic, that’s why they call it shounen or shoujo.You can’t expect everything to cater to you.

It has nothing to do with caring about Key. All Key works with KyoAni were crossover projects they had with other major studios co-producing them.

There’s a lot of heavy-handed implications in the video that make it seem a bit more than just the usual ‘bishounen’ take. Honestly I think it will be straight relationships, they’re just marketing to the girls/gay male side of things more. It is funny seeing people freak out because they aren’t the target audience though. 🙂

Those tight shorts, also known as speedos, are standard issue for a swimmer. It makes you go faster since there’s no drag from the water that would usually go in your pants and slow you down. That being said, the occasional penis bulge will be seen in this anime. Trust me, as a swimmer, I know there is no avoiding it in those shorts as much as I tried, and we all know how KyotoAni loves their details in animation. Sill, this shit looks badass, so yeah.

Actually, it would be silly.

After watching the teaser, I don’t see why everyone thinks this is going to be a gay harem anime. Assuming it’s going to show on a regular TV network, I highly doubt it’s going to be. It looks like a normal sport-based anime with the main cast being males. Nothing new.

Honestly, just because it took the ‘Net 27 seconds to make gay porn based on it, doesn’t mean that’s representative of the actual anime. It’s like everyone here has forgotten of Rule 34.

That’s not fair. Both sexes are at fault and should stop creating such fantasies. No guy or girl should get turned gay just for self satisfaction. Both sexes need to stop.

It’s happened before and in past decades, space was a pretty big deal and before that, ridiculously muscly men were a thing. Also anime is a medium which is used for pretty much anything, from porn, to action flicks, to ads, to beautiful stunning tales like Kino’s Journey, Monster, etc. Calm down.

girls almost never complain about all the ecchi anime you guys get, we just move on and don’t watch it. is it really so hard for you guys to just do that with this? don like = dont watch, easy solution

it’s really amusing that every guy gets so freaking butthurt cuz we girls get one fanserviced anime, even though there is and always will be like 10 new ecchi/moe anime for the guys each season. cuz when there is oversexualized girls with bigger boobs and butt than the rest of their body, there is nothing wrong at all, but swimming dudes is reeeeally “nono”? well atleast there is nothing you guys can do cuz this is already done and we girls will support it!

I think the reason so many males are angry is because this is the FIRST sports anime that will be targeted towards females, so they automatically think it’s going to be GAY or just plan out BAD. Need I remind you how many females watched/read Kuroko no Basket? Last time I checked that Anime was pretty STRAIGHT. Like seriously everyone needs to calm down.

Not only that, it is a FANSERVICE swimming anime directed at a female audience. The reverse harem gig will make it about dating and romance and replacing yourself as the main lady blob- much less about fanservice and just the regular who’s the girl going to end with drudgery- because Japanese females in anime don’t have sexual instincts unless they are antogonists *rolls eyes*

this is completely different from kyoani’s style in every single way except the hair . the color isn’t interesting (compared to the advertisement and animes from hyouka -tamako m) it’s bland theres no gradient in the hair and the eyes don’t give the same shine or sparkle and don’t have the same style as kyoanis. I’m dissapointed that they actually chose to make this an anime but made it look completely different from what kyoani is actually best at.

Why do you have to be such an internal misogynist?

the CM was shorter so they could put in a lot more effort on the animation, small details and lighting etc. so of course everything looked higher quality. if they were to do that in the anime, with 23-25 minute per episodes for like a season it would cost way too much!

The female I’ll gladly welcome and such. I’d like to see different interaction and such, but I agree in the sense that she has to have SOME TYPE OF PERSONALITY. A lot of ones I’ve seen don’t cut it 🙁
Oh also, fangrils, pls no internalized misogyny towards her thanks.

I really hope it’s not gonna be like Uta no Prince-sama where they have all these amazing talented guys and then and have a really boring girl that isn’t nearly as talented but they all still fall in love with her >.<

No one said the girl would have to be a “I have no personality” female.
Are you really that afraid of a girl being in your anime about men swimming?

Hmmm according with the (badly) translation of the plot in that FB page, thsi will be like I hope, focusing in the relationship of the guys, without a female character between them ^^

Mah, that’s the fujoshi fandom job I believe. Just hope they don’t put an stupid female character in that and turn into another Otome harem anime. I would rather prefer if it focus in the relationship of the boys… BROMANCE FTW!!

The info about their relationships are:
Haruka & Rin: Rivals

Nagisa & Rei: Classmates
Makoto & Haruka: Good Friends
Rei & Makoto: Kouhai/Senpai
Nagisa & Makoto: Firiends

I even liked the full girl animes like K-On! and never wish for a gender swap. I just wanted an anime for swimming…lol and partially for the hotties.

Haha, KyoAni really makes this into an Anime. I can’t understand the rage of other guys. There are many anime which shows girls in an stereotypical sexualized way and the affected womens don’t say anything about it, but when men got objectified everybody screams about it. I’m a guy too, but I don’t mind it. Let the girls also have some fun with this show. It’s seldom that they get such series. I will watch it too because it’s KyoAni and just too see how they made this genderswapped K-ON!^^

Here’s what I think they’ll be like!
0:07 Haruka: Tsundere
0:19 Makoto: Nice guy who’s probably a scaredy cat too
0:33 Nagisa: SHOTA.
0:46 Rei: Smart guy, a lot like Kyoya (OHSHC) Hardworking and determined.
0:59 Rin: Cheeky, probably quite weak-willed

I’m looking forward to this!!!

Pretty much expected this to happen. However, if done right, it could pretty much outsell the last 2 shows, TM and chu2koi. Guys were generally the main targets for most Moe shows and it’s nice that KyoAni has done something for the female side, which barely have attention, aside from kuroko basket. I admit, I miss Moe shows but, knowing KyoAni, they might pull this one off, because underestimating the fujoushi side is a bad thing. Hats off to them.

I wonder if the people complaining in the comments realize they’re being just as annoying as the people who whine about moe, if not more so.

KyoAni does good work, so I’ll be watching this.

Fujoshi doesn’t need Yaoi to be added, they put it in themselves. The truth is all they needed was two male characters in the same show.

Daniela Espinoza

Do you think so? I think kyonani is not worried about the money. I mean, I never seen a yaoi(or pseudo yaoi) selling well. Fujoshis can be scandalous but, they are a minority. Take a look to 2chan or 4chan. They are raging over Free! (I think k-on s3 or haruhi s3 would sell much much better than this)

>pandering to fujoshi now?
They’ve been pandering to those of us who like moe for a while now. Nothing’s wrong with them changing it up a bit. It’s not like it means their animation will go to shit or there won’t be more later on. Urrbody just needs to unrustle their jimmies.

Like it or not, this will sell A LOT. Reasonable decision for KyoAni.
We guys have a lot of Harem-service anime already. Let those Fujoshi have some eye-candy.

Being a big KyoAni fan, even I can see that Tamako Market was at least less than good.
I suppose it’s each to his own but from a critical standpoint, Tamako Market failed to succeed in several, critical areas.
