Kyoto Animation unveiled its new swimming team anime, Free!, on Friday. The television anime is based on Kōji Ōji's High Speed!, an honorable mention recipient in the 2nd Kyoto Animation Award in 2011. Hiroko Utsumi of Animation DO is directing the anime, and Masahiro Yokotani is supervising the scripts. Futoshi Nishiya is designing the characters, and Tatsuya Katou is composing the music.

Much of the same team created the "Suiei-hen" (Swimming) anime commercial that was unveiled last month.

The main cast are Nobunaga Shimazaki, Tatsuhisa Suzuki, Tsubasa Yonaga, Daisuke Hirakawa, and Mamoru Miyano (Rin Matsuoka).

So it's an anime with a lot of topless guys, who are soaked in water? .... I can live with this.

So, is this going to be a romance? or just kinda slice of life comedy like K-ON? Tamako had some romance which was nice haha, but with all guys in the cast I wonder if they would go that far.

At first I was "isn't this the same clips from before?"
but then I was "never mind! ♪ La la la, la la la la na naaaa ♫ ♪"
and then I was "AAAAAH!!! GOLDEN BOY WAS AT THE END!!"


Yes, I did recognise him, will atleast that give me some credit points?

Oh Pimp-kun *laughs*

[Konkulf]

I have a feeling this anime will consist heavily of wet-hairflips, abs and lens-flares....

We'll see how it goes I guess.

[SGI]

Another crappy harem anime? This time aimed at women? By Kyoto animation who are just SO groundbreaking in terms of storytelling and NEVER merely pander to fanbases?

Oh this is just SO exciting.

Maybe I shouldn't be so negative but I just worked 16 hours straight.

[Light Buster]

Already interested. Just gonna wait for the English Dub version and we'll be good to go.
