Free! Eternal Summer: Kindan no All Hard!

This special is, to say the least, fantastic. I found it so adorable and interesting in its simplicity.
A classic and serene situation of two groups of friends who play together like children with water guns, with mixed groups and different characters.

I loved the chance to see some insights into the relationships between the characters, such as between Nagisa and Momotaro or Rin and Rei. Not to mention the scenes between Haruka and Sosuke, but I’ll talk about it later.

As a personal appreciation, I can say that I loved the presence of Kisumi, there just to greet his friends and found himself involved in their adorable ... game. I really loved him!
I also really liked the small scene between Sosuke and Gou, I appreciate their relationship and I’m always happy to see their moments.

Okay, now I can talk about it: the relationship between Haruka and Sosuke. I REALLY LOVED seeing them collaborate, especially given the obvious premises where they were not so happy to collaborate. They were small scenes, but very pleasant and important to understand their relationship.

I really have nothing to say, I enjoyed this episode and I think I will gladly see it again.

This is how you do slice of life comedy right. The Iwatobi team goes to Samezuka's school for the Samezuka culture festival despite Rin warning them not to come. We quickly find out why. It starts with innocent exploration of school festival food, but then the Iwatobi swim team heads to Samezuka swim team's food booth, and their boot is a ... a ... MAID cafe!!! With the obligatory cross dressing. Oh my! The two seniors I really wanted to see dressed up escaped giving my eyes some fan service. Awwww!

After the food, they come across a "survival" game and we are treated to the ... most hilarious water gun fight ever seen on anime. There was none of the emo Haru drama, and that's what made this the must fun episode of Free I've seen yet. Who would have thought the 2 strong, silent types would work together that well? Or what type of evil and diabolical tactics can be employed, some of which WOULD work in real life if I ever got into another water gun fight?

Everything was well animated with great sound, this is the most fun and laughs I've had since starting to watch the Free anime.

Oh, my goodness, this may be the best episode of Free! I almost made it out without tearing up, too.

This is a really solid little episode. Actually, I think the music (other than the openings and endings) was a little bit stronger than usual. It set the mood pretty well. The art was normal, but that means that it's great like always.

This episode is Makoto, Haru, Nagisa, Rei, Rin, Souske, Ai, and Momo battling each other in a water gun war. It's so cool? Let me explain. First of all, everyone is acting like a damn assassin, which is badass. And when they get "shot" ... they act like they've actually died, which is top tier hilarity. Makoto? He's super scary. Did you know that?

Also, you're gonna see some rare character interactions that barely happened or never happened in the main series. For example, Makoto and Souske. Can I just say, I finally understand why people ship them now? You'll see Momo and Nagisa, Rei and Ai, Rei and Souske, Haru and Momo, the list goes on. Of course, there will also be the classic Makoto-Haru interactions as well as the Rin-Souske, Haru-Rin, and Nagisa-Rei interactions. P.S. Kisumi is in this as well.

It isn't all just fun and games, though. Haru and Souske... well, I won't give it away, but this episode does actually advance their relationship and plot line together. It's mostly just a really fun and upbeat OVA, but the little bits of character development you get through Haru and Souske is really cool.

I took way too long to watch it, so please give it a go if you like the series. I think it's a good addition to the main story, anyway, so it's worth a shot.
