I'm very iffy on how Dive in to the Future was, but I'm not going to complain about more Free content. Just hoping it's better than last season. All in all, I'll be tuned in in 2020.

We have to wait until 2020! I'm hoping that in the meantime they can do a film until next season starts.

Hopefully the characters introduced in the last couple of episodes (I forget their names - the ones who won the races by a landslide) will get more attention in the next season. They seem like they could be interesting, especially if their personalities are more villainous than what we've seen so far. While I love the power of friendship, it'd be nice to have an actual antagonist, who stays an antagonist until the end.

God I hope this means it'll be purely a competition arc instead of the teen drama set in college.

Olympic Games! That's all I think! Very anxious.

I'd love for them to make a movie in 2019 as well.
Gimme more character development and/or romance. Probally a shotacon.

Couldn’t agree more
I felt like DITF was kinda inconsistent, it made me angry most of the time
I love Free, so I hope they can improve for the next season

My guess that it's going to be related to the Olympics so expecting international competition.

As for the format, perhaps a movie (2+ hours long?)

I just hope it's better than whatever Dive to the Future was, but I honestly don't have very high hopes. Maybe something will happen that will change my mind though, I won't know until 2020 anyway.

I think it’s quite evident now that KyoAni is looking to air this during the Olympics 2020, and that’s honestly great!

As for the format, I hope it comes down to a cour worth of episodes of tv series but I have a feeling it’ll more likely be a long movie setting up the platform for perhaps yet another cour or two for the franchise. Dive to the Future wasn’t the below par compared to the previous two Seasons, in my honest opinion, so I hope this new project will be better.

After Dive in the future not hyped anymore.
I like to post in manga forum when I feel it is worth it, so people will think. "Shit, is her again" or something.

People asked me where I read certain thing but the rules say no telling where did you read so maybe I am too boring for not saying? Or salty because you didn't check my profile that says don't ask because I hate people to ghost me after that. I love learning languages so maybe I did not read the manga in English.

I know this series is enjoyable to a lot of people. I think it's a great cast but KyoAni isn't gonna break any boundaries or go beyond the safe net of their money audience so. It's fine.

Yeah. The Swede seemed like a cool character. Easy-going, cheerful, a gamer and really skilled. Yep, think I'm gonna like this guy.

I'll probably give it a watch. One of the main reasons I watch Kyoani is for their animaton. Plus it'd be nice to see more Sousuke and Rin moments. They're such bros! I love their dynamic.

I really hope it will be better than season 3.
Season 3, despite having several good moments, disappointed me. It promised us some stuff but it didn't really deliver them. I wanted to see Haru and Rin compete on an international level. This is what I was waiting for.

I am glad there will be season 4. I really hope we see them as mature adults, and no more teen angst drama please! They are already adults. This is what I want to see. This si the growth that I was praising and that I was waiting to see in season 3.

YEEEEES!!! I was so excited to see them as grown guys in college. They grew so much, they aren't teens anymore. The first few episodes showed them act like new adults, with Haru maturing from how he was in his early teens.

I mean fine anybody can do childish stuff, but Ikuya didn't change at all since his early teens??? SRSLY? As for the freshmen in Iwatobi, they were SO underdeveloped, and their "development" happened too suddenly that it was just ridiculous even if it were heartwarming.

ok am not gonna rant about it since it had already been so long, but I wasn't satisfied at all tbh. The Reigisa part, and finally showing the plot of Rin VS Haru, or the two meeting, after hyping us al were my fav parts. I wanted to see the competition, them competing on a national level, after Haru finally decided to face the world.

I feel so old lol.. I watched the first season of Free when I was about to become a college student. I can remember I was anticipating every episode of it every week.. I am now working.. and the characters are now in college and here I am still watching Free lol. Will go to Japan soon winter season of year 2020 to fulfill one of my bucket list. I'll have to save until then! :) See you Free! See you Haru, Makoto and everyonee! XD

I'm actually very disappointed that it'll be a film (and there's even 2019 compilation film of Dive to the Future). I guess KyoAni needs a lot of money and film is the only way to go, plus they can't afford time slot in summer 2020 which will be occupied with Olympics broadcast. I'm wondering if there will be a proper TV season 4 after this.

I'm a little sad that the 2019 movie is just a recap movie, but I guess that was to be expected, since they said "see you in 2020" at the end of Dive to the Future. I also noticed that Haru's jacket in the newest PV for the 2020 movie isn't the Hidaka University jacket (which is white, blue and orange). Instead, his jacket is white and red, like the Japanese flag. It really does seem like it will be about the Olympics. I hope the old ITSC members aren't too left out...

Was it really that bad? I didn't even bother with season 3 since I was already disappointed by season 2.
For me Free is a gorgeous looking show but falls very short in the story department. Plus I find Haruka to be VERY boring.

It wasn't as good as the first season, more on par with season two. Not as bad as people make it out to be...

To think this anime started from an advert in the first place... three seasons later (and a movie) is pretty good.

2nd season was kind of boring, dive to the future is a huge step up, was much more enjoyable and gave some of the 1st season wibe (well, at least the 1st part). Surprisingly Haru also had some character development. It's very different from 2nd season but overall falls between 1st and 2nd season in terms of enjoyment for me.

I think there is a lot to still explore leftover from Dive into the Future so it would be best to have a forth season. The new international characters, Sosuke's recovery, etc... Perhaps they are running out of content for a "slice of life" since I think that was the main complaint in Dive to the Future so KyoAni decided to jump the gun and drop a movie to wrap the series up with the main conflict (Rin and Haru on the international stage)...but we shall see.

Excited nevertheless, I just want more Makoto and Haru content haha
