I know everyone wanted the project to be this, FMP3, another KEY adaption (me ) or a sequel to another one of their works. This is nice to see them doing a different genre for a change. |

I don't want cute boys doing cute things. I want a sports series with character development.

People are overreacting, and in an uncomfortable Double Standard manner as usual. Would any of these people even raise an eyebrow if it was cute girls again? I think not.
Personally, as much as I'd like to see continuations of franchises I like (*cough* Haruhi *cough*), I'm curious at this, as again it's KyoAni going against the expected vein. Should be an interesting experience.

Given that one of the self-titled genre classifications is "upper bodies" and swimming gives the show the least contrived excuse to show them, I think it's safe to assume plenty of time will be spent in the pool.

In or around the pool...
Anyway, KyoAni being who they are I'm sure there will be some nicely animated swimming. But emphasis on sport or character development? I wouldn't hold my breath. XD This seems like a nice, fun, "turn off your brain and enjoy" type eyecandy romp designed to sell tons of BDs and merchandise (and personally I'm fine with that). |

See the recent Hyouka! And maybe turn off your brain, guys in the pool is enough for some people but I guess I am hoping for something more than that. If it turns out to be just that I probably will watch but I can't see it will be something I will buy.

Overall I have no problem with this being a shallow eyecandy, as long as it's entertaining shallow eyecandy. I just wish they'd gotten someone else instead of Miyano. |

It's a sports series about swimming so there is plenty opportunity to have a fun series that also develops the characters and their relationships around that concept.

Considering how much Kyoani has regressed for me over the years, I can only take this new approach for them as an improvement.
Muscular bishounen > Airheads and moeblobs. Doubly so considering a new season of Full Metal Panic will likely never happen...

Who are they? The best anime studio currently active?

Then again, considering how a lot of people seem to think that K-On! doesn't feature character development, I wouldn't hold my breath on them catching any potential instances of it in this series either. |

There's more summer shows aimed at the female than expected
Anyway I'll watch the first episodes and see if it is interesting enough aside from the visuals. Exactly, I don't think there's going to be any type of BL subtext unless they make them a bit girly but fujoshis will watch any type of action as shipping material

People will ship anything into whatever they want really
This is probaly just going to wind up as a slice of life with swimming, but even I know the fans will probaly ship this as BL.
