Yes, even though it's "boy plot", it has a interesting story.

You should watch it only if you want to. Sometimes if many people are telling you to watch a certain anime it ends up not even being all that good. I started watching free! a few months ago, I put it on hold because I'm busy atm. It has a decent story, I think the story does matter when talking about an anime series.

It's alright, the animation is pretty, and the boys are pretty.

I just couldn't get into it because it just wasn't my cup of tea.

But if you like pretty things you should give it a shot, there's no harm in doing so.

If you are female: Yes, you should watch it

If you are male: Maybe you won't like it

Hymm I was thinking of giving it a spin, but if the story is crap or 'doesn't matter' then it won't hold my interest. Yet I see some say the story is actually quite good...
So which one is it?

it's not really a good anime but it's alright i guess. most people watch it cuz it has tons of pretty boys in it. i don't hate it but i don't really love it either. so yeah.. you might as well watch it if you're super bored.

or try other sports anime that have nice, cute boys in them. like haikyuu!! that anime is so much better and the characters have a lot more depth too

I decided to watch Free not so long ago and it was a pleasant surprise. I feel like people are exaggerating the fanservice elements in Free. Yes, the main characters spend a lot of time in their speedos but besides that it also has lots of lovely friendship moments and each boy has a distinct but instant likable personality. I'd say it's worth a watch.

I never got these kind of threads.
I mean the first season is 12 episodes. Thats four hours straight.
Are you so busy that you can't sit down for four hours and watch the thing?

would get it if we were talking about 50+ episode anime or something, but free? come on.

Sure m8.
Ask a bunch of strangers on MAL if you should watch it, and lose much more time that what you would have if you just checked it on your own. In the end, watch one episode and drop it if you don't like it. Nobody is pressuring you.

Watch Haikyuu instead, which is probably superior as a realistic sports anime series. Free is pretty weak as far as Kyoani series goes.

Yes I strongly recommend you this anime. I understand your hesitation. I was just like you at first. I wasnt too keen on watching a bunch of shirtless guys but I admit I was so wrong. The art is simply amazing, and the plot is also interesting and very connected. You are missing out if you dont watch this series. There is also a sequel so you can enjoy even more.

Thread moved and cleaned

Thread moved to the Free! board.
Quote chains, and unhelpful posts removed.

My advice.
Try one or two episodes and see if you like it.
If you like it keep watching if you don't like it move on and start watching something you do like.
