There's nothing wrong with a show that's transparently a service series for fujoshi, if that's what Feee! turns out to be - otaku have had hundreds of them, so they have no call to complain now. There could be more here - maybe one or more of the characters will emerge as really interesting (or like KtB, it'll be the 5th lead who brings a new spark of life to the series) or the story or comedic aspects will find another gear, and Free! will reveal some hidden depths that weren't apparent in the premiere.

Ahahaha, dude, are you for real? If the show turns out to be a fanservice series for fujoshi? This show had "fanservice series for fujoshi" stamped on it clear as daylight from the moment it was announced.
Also, those aren't impossibly buff hunks. Those are just fit guys. Impossibly buff hunks is what you get in Jojo's bizarre adventure and Toriko, which are, interestingly enough, aimed at guys. If you hate men on roids' that much, I suggest you head out to those threads asap.
