According to the Free!: Eternal Summer Special Event held today, light novel High☆Speed! will receive a movie adaptation titled High☆Speed!: Free! Starting Days to premiere on December 5, 2015. The official Twitter for the anime has been updated with the key visual.

The light novel will also receive a manga adaptation, drawn by Shiori Teshirogi.

Kouji Ohji started writing the light novel in 2011, and it is illustrated by Futoshi Nishiya. The two volumes of the light novel are published under Kyoto Animation. The novel won an honorable mention award in the Kyoto Animation Award contest in 2011.

The Free! TV anime series, which received two seasons, was later created based on the novel, but the characters are depicted as high school students rather than junior high school students as in the novel. The original light novel is about the time when Haruka Nanase and the others are in junior high school.

I'm looking forward to seeing High Speed animated, but it's too bad this also means no Rei in the movie.

Not going to lie, I'm looking forward to this mostly because we'll finally see best girl Aki animated. The shotas will be tolerable as long as I get Aki.

I'm fine with this, kinda liked the franchise despite some problems with season 2. Shame the wait will be a bit long though.

I wouldn't count on Aki being in it since they made her non-existent in the anime. I'm mostly looking forward to seeing the guys from the second novel that we didn't get to see like Nao.

I don't see how her not being in the TV anime correlates to her not being in the movie? She was in the light novel and plays a hefty role, and the light novel is the one that's getting adapted so it would be weird if she isn't going to be in it unless KyoAni once again takes another spin on things and change/create content.

Probably because like I said they acted as if she didn't exist even giving some of her lines to Rin. So she might be I'm just saying I wouldn't count on it.

And MS? In the cover, they look like Elementary.

Gpsh, I really wanted to see more of Sousuke and to see if he was going to give swimming another chance and if his shoulder would heal. And see Rin and Haru in international competitions.

I guess since Air in 2005, Kyoani can only do educational settings.

Prequels in anime dont work, unless its Fate/Zero.

I probably wont watch this movie since its going to have one of the things I hate most in anime:

Characters that are 13 and older being voice by chicks.

They won't be voiced by chicks... as far as I'm concerned, according to fans who went to the event, all the seiyuus will be their younger selves.

This is not a continuation, but an adaption of what seems to be perhaps part HS and part HS2 novels.

Great news! :-D I can't wait for Aki to be animated. I really liked her in the novels. Also, all the guys in High Speed! 2 like Asahi and Nao... :-)

It's a shame there will be no Rei though. :-(


I still also want a sequel film or OVA (or even another TV series!) to Free! ES though. I want to know how Sousuke is and if his shoulders any better or not. And how Haru and Mako are getting on at college (And Rin in Australia!). AND THE OLYMPICS!

The 1st LN was about them in elementary school, the 2nd LN was about them in MS. From what I've heard from fans who attended the event, as mentioned earlier, the movie is most likely going to consist of possible both the 1st and 2nd LNs.

Was hoping for a sequel, but a prequel is good too.

That wait time though (T⌓T)
