| Well, I finally got to watch this movie. Its been so long since I last watched Free that I forgot a lot of things but it was still pretty nice to see something from Kyoto Animation again. |
GalacticSamurai said: I thought it was pretty good. In a lot of scenes, the expressions of characters & subtle things like someone shaking their head to rinse off the water and stuff like that were very done very well. Most of swimming scenes also had pretty good animation.what is the standard of animation in this movie? have any sakuga scenes? |
| In the end, is Haru having panic/anxiety attack, or is he just way too obsessed with beating Albert? Overall, I liked the movie, just Albert VA and Engrish in general were terrible. |

| Man, the whole movie, was a nostalgia trip. Goddamn, our boys have come so far, from Iwatobi to competing at the world stage! Sadly, some of the drama was overbearing for me, as well as some other stuff such as that ridiculuous Panic attack or smth that Haru felt every time he thought about Albert. Too anime-ish for me. 6/10 |

Too anime-ish for me. 6/10 Why was it too anime-ish? If you've seen Haru's character development it's not too far out. All this time everybody admired him because he swam so Free but now he feels like when he finally got a goal, he feels like everything else around him is disappearing. Because he is also growing up. The crushing feeling of the realities of the world, of your friends also finding their own paths, of people like Albert. It's bound to hit Haru like a truck sooner or later and I guess here it is. The culmination of his ideals vs the reality of the world. |
cchigu said: I wanted to see some characters' individual races more in detail tho. For instance when it is Albert's turn during the prelims and he is introduced in a very cool manner and then the second he dives into the water, the scene is just cut off and we continue with another scene and I was like what the... It is a movie yes and of course it has a limited time so they can't show every characters swimming for minutes, but still it bothered me a bit. Same here, I am too curious of Albert and why is he a monster. I guess they're trying not to show it so he can appear more intimidating but it's been a couple of years right so I am with you on that lol I hope they showed Albert's power at this movie. A part of me is afraid how this would end, especially since |
| damn did not expect the ending, almost forgot all the schools and character names cause its been so long lol, good part 1! |
| Well, as a movie, this was pretty much as good as High☆Speed! Movie: Free! Starting Days or Free! Take Your Marks. Haru's panic attack at the end was a surprise. Maybe he's a little too obsessed with beating Albert. Momo was owned by Steve.This scene was so hilarious. |

| It's available on an online platform and Haru is giving me a sad boy moment in the end wtf. But still, overall, it's the usual refreshing outcome that I always feel welcome in this series. Looking forward to Part 2 |
| Awww I love swimming (>ω<)(◕‿◕✿) |
| I will just put it here for notes, will go back to it once I re watch the whole series again and update it. The relationships between characters became confusing to me so... Looking forward to the next movie. I wonder how long is the bluray going to be release after the movie came out from JP theatres? |

| It's incredible how much I can relate to all the anxiety and depression Haru is struggling with this entire franchise. That's why he's my favorite out of the whole cast. I mean, it sure makes you feel very very lonely and left out when others tell you there dreams and future figured out when you're still haven't given a proper thought. |
| It was nice to see the first few minutes of the movie featuring some of the usual antics of the characters involved in the series, one of the strong areas of the series for sure. Fairly light hearted first half which was really enjoyable followed by the deeper and mature undertones in the second to open up a direction for the next movie to explore on. Definitely curious to see how Haru will get over the overwhelmed state that he is in now, and eventually work his way towards his end goal. Sousuke seems to be recovering well, which is nice to see. Hope to see him back in the competitions soon. I really wanted to know what Gou-san's plan for the future is too xD. Got to be something related to muscles, no? Looks like the main trio will be drifting apart, after all, by focusing on their respective styles. At least this leaves an international medley team sometime down the line up for possibility, right? Sounds like a good deal to me. On a serious note though, this leaves Haru with an additional burden to work out. Seeing his inner self helpless while his dark self went at it all guns blazing on Rin was tough to watch... |

| Nice movie and to see the lads now having reached the world stage although sad that at the end Haru so anxious and scared of Albert making me miss the old carefree Haru who just and only wants to swim Free. |
 |
| Lmao the voice director really decided that was the perfect english voice for Albert? Lmao they gotta get some better ppl on board if they wanna get fluent enlgish speakers doing voice work. Any Haru being a dick for the final movie it seems but hey Rin is the goat and is working on himself like a gigachad. |
