| The main swimmers in Free! (Image taken from: geekosystem.com) |
So, I didn't get to posting this review yesterday, but since I have a late start this morning, I have time now. Anyways, as the picture might suggest (along with the caption), Free is an anime about competitive swimming and what it means to the five pictured guys above. Most of the storyline follows the drama between Haruka, Makoto, Nagisa (far left three in above picture) and Rin (far right in above picture). What happened was the four swam in a relay while they were younger and won, and therefore share that memory, but Rin left to train in Australia to follow his father's dream of being an Olympic swimmer. Eventually, Rin returned to Japan, but went to a different high school with a more elite swimming team than the other three guys' school. In fact, Haruka, Makoto, and Nagisa are the three that started to swimming club at their school, which Rei (second from right to left) eventually joined so the team could officially travel and compete.
