Typical... This thread got hijacked again and turned into kyoani general thread.

Kuroshitsuji was also a major hit, but can not compare to the above, plus like K and NoitaminA appealed also to guys, and had a lot of service for them too

Sorry for that... I wasn't referring to you specifically there but I messed up the order I wrote the post, ending up quoting you... anyway, it's just that having read all the rage in futaba channel, and then get a second serving in overseas blogs and forums (like this one), I feel the need to put some things into a more general (-azing... probably) perspective

Whether boys and girls like Free! or did like K-On! won't change the fact that like most KyoAni shows this is also manufactured to squeeze out the last yen out of us, but now thankflly at least independent of gender

I understand what you mean. I've also seen a lot of that anger and I can not understand why they get so angry.

I guess there are many anime that still do not know (I had never heard of "Tigger and Bunny"), so it seems that the guys with muscles are quite popular among fujoshis. Another thing, I think Kuroko, Onizuka and Slam Dunk also want to attract a male audience

PD: About the guys in K are slim without much muscle. I was relying on the manga "K: Memory of Red" (Josei), the guys few times appear shirtless

That is sort of normal before a KyoAni show starts to air. Just look at the K-On general thread when it finally came out that it was being done by KyoAni.

As a former swimmer, I wonder how accurate this well be. I don't remember a lot of guys on my team with muscles like that. Toned yes, but lots of muscles?

They're just sexing it up for the animation more likely.

I will say MC and Miyano's character have nice bodies....

If that weren't obvious from the director's comments, the fact that it was changed from an elementary school to a high school should remove all doubt.

Of course, let's be honest - if that change hadn't been made there's no way in Hell they'd be producing the series in the first place.

Yes a normal... A normal that's a growing pain in the ass.... I just would appreciate it if people didn't do it deliberately...

On a side note, I do agree with that muscle thing. But I gotta say I remember being in the varsity team then this kid 2 or 3 years younger than me having quite a chiseled form. To make matters worse the kids in late elementary. Well his build completely shows what it gives. That kid was a beast in doing butterfly.

The ED "Splash Free!", which is sung by the 5 guys, will be released on August 7 for 1,300 yen. (LACM-14130)

Thread subbed.
Hot boys, cannot wait!

If this series is a sports drama, I could be interested. Hajime no Ippo was the last sports show I enjoyed (and RAINBOW to a lesser extent in the sports sense). If this is a slice of life "friendship" (that can mean anything) show, I'll probably drop it.

Dunno. All male cast, high school, competitive sports. This could be made interesting by exploring homosexuality (just throwing this out there) in a sports/high school setting. Competitive sports drama is always exciting, but a cultural touch like that could make this a winner!

Witch of Uncertainty · 2013-05-19, 20:42

Is it just me, or is the art really different in the PV compared to the "Do sexy" or whatever it's called. I thought it looked way better in the "Do sexy".

Warm Mist · 2013-05-19, 20:55

The designs look the same to me. Keep in mind that the first CM was drawn and corrected by Kyoani's S-team, and the scenes in the PV might be done by lesser animators (as well as not being extremely polished like in the CM, where it was made to air as it was instead of advertising).

Violet Rabbit · 2013-05-20, 06:57

lol, I just remember how much more messed up the MAL news thread about this was compared to other sites. I want to be able to judge it for myself, thank you very much.

Whatever it may end up being like... it's unlikely I won't enjoy it, from the sounds of it, but I'll stay away from fanart because what I'm thinking of is probably not my thing.

Thought so. I just tend to lose interest when a thread that's just for one piece of news lasts so long while still being quite active. I mean especially when it's mostly talking about one very specific detail or two.

People are still seriously mad over this?

whitecloud · 2013-05-22, 22:27

Is all the cast boys? Is there no teacher?

GDiddy · 2013-05-24, 14:58

I guess we'll find out about other cast members (Family, teachers, coach?) once the show gets closer to its airdate
