THE SEASON FINALE - I JUST WATCHED IT :(
I really really love this anime and I just hate to see it end. The finale episode was okay although it wasn't really that intense, maybe a 7/10. However, I really want to see how Haru and Rin end up possibly at the olympics or SOMETHING. I CAN'T JUST WATCH IT END LIKE THAT EVEN THOUGH AH I CAN'T. :(
is there going to a 3rd season?

Dear lord, I hope not. The series ended on a high note and it doesn't need a third season. As much as I am a fan of them swimming boys, the show is done and should just be left alone.
You've got the OVA to look forward to.

Free season 2 wasnt that heavy on the fanservice. especially not compared to season one.

Not sure how shirtless guys counts as fan service these days.

Well if women and men should be treated equally, I think shirtless women can't be considered fanservice either >.<

I think the second season wrapped everything up well. A third season would just be milking the franchise.

I don't think it needs a third season to be honest.

They wrapped it up good so the story doesn't need to continue.

I like the series, but season 3 would be pretty pointless. I'd rather KyoAni does another show like Free!, with an all-male cast and pretty art.

lol you should really watch it and not just judge by the cover

It's only considered fanservice, if used with the intent of turning people on. :| And most anime are like that.

There's a few that have females naked without the intent of making them look "sexy". See Eden! It's an Endless World or Monster.

I did see the first 2 episodes of the first season and the first of the second season. I did give it a chance.

also you should always judge anime by its cover. anime doesn't hide what it is and to whom it wants to pander to

I'm not doubting it's targeted towards girls. I'm saying there's more to it than just muscles and male moe. If one watches only the first 10 or less episodes of Steins;Gate, they would probably assume it's otaku pandering crap too.

Also, the first episode of the second season is just a fun episode for fans. It doesn't really show the potential of what will happen later.

EDIT - Forgot to add this but...If Free! is fanservice, Hajime ni Ippo also counts as one (for half naked guys in sports) and you have it on your list as an 8/10 lolol

Season 2 of Free was a legitimate sports anime.

I dont usually like to accuse people of being homophobes, but anyone who thinks Free is shounen ai is a homophobe.

It is actually bafflingly non shounen ai considering how they marketed as such.

I hope not. Free season 1 is overrated, and 2nd season is even worse

I did not finish 2nd season yet, only watched half of it and does feel worse than 1st one because it doesn't have the competition and rivalry like between Rin and Haruka. But I might be wrong since I didn't finish it though.

Also, I think Free would be way better if it has females, and even better if it has traps.

Hahaha :D

I don't see the point of a third season. They gave it a relatively good open ending, so it's probably best just left alone :) Plus there's the OVA next year.
Maybe a movie? I don't know what that could be about either.
If it was about Rei performing the "Muscle Magic Spells" from that book that Gou gave him back in episode 3, I would watch that :|

I doubt it, it'd have to be about them as adults after all, and I can't imagine KyoAni doing that. Especially as everyone went their separate ways, and movie about swimming in a public pool or sth doesn't sound too exciting.

If anything, KyoAni will probably just go into the same direction thanks to fujoshis, bishies, school, drama.

There is an unaired/OVA episode coming out in March and there is going to be another seiyuu event in March as well, similar to the one when they announced season 2. So, depending on what they do with/in the unaired/OVA episode they could announce a season 3, but many fans (myself included) think a movie announcement would be likely and a far better option. They could easily make the unaired episode/OVA episode be a few years later and about them opening up their letters. As for a possible movie...

Rin's dream is to be in the Olympics and Haru is now in the same world as Rin, the 2020 Olypmics are going to be in Tokyo, so I think they could easily make a movie about Rin, Haru, the Olypmics, and everyone coming together in Tokyo to support them and such (it would be a good opportunity for them to show us where everyone is now and what they are doing in their life). It would be a nice way to wrap everything up.

As much as I would like a season 3 I think the anime ended just fine but I have to admit I do hate to see it go. Free is now one of my favorite animes. But yeah ig a movie would be nice of how rei and nagisa taking over the swim club and makoto and haru in there new life's a adults. BUTTT Ik this isn't an yaoi anime but ๐Ÿ˜ I wanna see rei and nagisa gettiing together ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ the creator knows he gave hints of them liking Each other, more rei than nagisa tho ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

It's not even decided yet. Since Season 2 had reached the main ending, big chance that Season 3 may not be happening to be release soon. But good news, KyoAni didn't deny to make more season of Free! it just they didn't decide to make or not. We should wait for annoucement. For those fans who really wants Season 3 to be release, you should wait and not making any fuss about Free! Season 3 is going to be release on 2017 or so on. "IT MAY HAPPEN BUT NOT SOON." For those who think that Free! doesn't have to continue and just be like that, I agree for that. (Btw, Free! are not for girl service to show their abs to girls. Don't be jealous, it's not KyoAni's main reason to make Free! existed. And Free! were the most popular anime in 2013.) This is my personal thoughts. It's not like I'm denying or deciding by my own self.

Instead of a season 3 they should make a movie in which sou's shoulder is healed n he competes with rin and haru in Olympics or something.
They should also show what others did in the future.

i honestly think that the ending was,idk,maybe a little too dispersive(?)
yes,i do think it kind of completes the whole serie,because we finally see Haru happy and, i mean,you know what i'm talking about so i don't need to explain.But i would really like to know how the whole thing evolved.I don't want a third season,just because i think that the storyline is complete this way,and doing another season with new problem etc.. would be bad.But i'd LOVE a spin-off.Idk maybe a 40 minutes episode where we can see,5 years later,where everyone is.If Haru and Rin made it to the Olympics,if Makoto gratuated from the tokyio's university,where Rei and Nagisa decided to go and all that stuff,just to really complete the whole thing.
