--- This review may contain minor spoilers ---
Story : 7/10
Well, anybody who has seen a single episode of Free! can notice that its story it's kinda common, with our main characters ''reviving'' their favourite club, needing a last member to create the club, and even an old friend who has changed. I give it a 7/10 in the story topic, obviusly, because it isn't original at all, and because there are some things, kinda... weird. Like, Haruka takes a bath with his trunks. Why ?? And i also wanna point the stupid fact that Rei wen't swimming, in the ocean, during a storm. Like, WTF.
...
It was forced, just to get an excuse to show some past things about the characters...
Art : 9/10
Come on, don't you dare to disagree. Free!'s arte and animation is outstanding, mainly in the swimming parts. Gosh, the water looks so real !!
Sound : 8/10
Free! has a good Ost. Not bad, not excelent, but it's good, but i wouldn't give an 8 to a normal ost, right ?? Here, i wanna talk more about the Opening and Ending. Honestly, the opening blew me away, the music can change our mood and our feelings, and that's something that we don't see everyday. Now, about the ending, i have to say that it's not that good, if we compare it to the opening, but that doesn't change the fact that the ending has a unique and spectacular rhythm.
Character : 8/10
Over the episodes, we slowly watch a character construction, not intensive, but that lets us know the struggles that some characters went trough in the past, with the deaths of their kinds. Altho some characters are completely flat, and we have to agree that we don't know anything about some main characters, i still think that the anime will show us that missing parts.
Enjoyment : 8/10
In this section, i will talk about my opnion, an opinion from a person who loves sports, practices sports everyday, including swimming. Altho this group of friends are trying to reach the maximum of their capacities, we can't consider ther as a profesional team, but, we can see a bit of their routine, for ex. workouts or different trainings, like we saw in their ''Trial in open water''. However, we are restricted to some things important to their lifes, where those times are filled in with slice of life moments, or some relationships adjustments, like Rin and his old friends...
Overall : 8/10
Overall, it is a good anime, obviusly has its flaws, but these are erased by the good moments that we pass during this anime. With 4 episodes left to watch, at least in this season, i hope that the anime doesn't disapoint me, and continues to delight me.

Running has been one of my favourite hobbys, since i know myself as a person. It's excelent to see an anime like this, with excelent opinions from people, even from those who don't like running, or any kind of sports...Btw, this is the first review that i do. Please don't judge me...
--- Story - 9/10 ---
Since i started my journey in this anime and manga world, i have to admit that this is my first running genre anime/manga that i see... It's curious, because an hobby or sport that millions of people like, doesn't have too much works on this industry. So, it's great to
...
see this type of innovation. I don't think that this anime has a 10/10 story yet, because some characters aren't developed enough (at least until epsiode 9.
--- Art - 10/10 ---
Even if you hate this anime, you have to admit that it's art is just outstanding, or perfect ! The Fall 2018 season has a severall of animes that have beautiful arts, but this, in my opinion, is on of the bests, or even the best in this topic, specialy when they are running ! They're movements are sweet, and we can see how much work the designers have putten in this animation, even if some moments they're design is super simple...
--- Sound - 9/10 ---
Well, i don't have much to say about this topic, so i won't take much long talking about it. The Ending it's just beautiful, with an simple song and animation, that combines to a super 1:30 min of pure enjoyment. The transition it's simple, and the Opening is beautiful aswell...
--- Character - 9/10 ---
The reason that i gave a 9 to the character topic is because, at least until Ep.9, some characters haven't yet been developed, as much as Akihiro, Kurahara or Haiji, that we already know their past problems, present issues and future projects. King, the twins and Yukihiro are characters that haven't been much developed, but we already know their present situation, aswell some problems. But, we haven't seen nothing from some characters, like Musa, Takashi or Akane, and that's a problem that i believe will be resolved, soon enough.
--- Enjoyment - 10/10 ---
In this topic, i will talk about my enjoyment, as a person who runs 4-5 times a week, and just loves this sports, even if i don't compet. As the story develops more and more, we get to know the athletes' issues, such as physical problems, or social problems. We can see aswell they're routine, specially in they're hardest moments, like Akane' issues with his new life, King's problem with getting or not getting a job, and the most recent one, Haiji's health, that looks weak. With all of this topics that the anime shows us, we can get into this new running world, and even enter ''their'' world, getting worried(at least me), with this new Haiji's health problem.
--- Overall - 9/10 ---
Well, with 3 9/10, and 2 10/10 evaluations, i guess it is fair to give a 9/10 in the overall, but that doesn't meen that is going to be 9/10 until the final episode. The anime can solve all the minor problems that i presented in this review, but can aswell ruin the anime with nonsense moments, or bad animation... I speak this because i haven't read the manga, thing that i will do when the anime end, so if you already have read it, please don't give spoilers for me, or for anyone else.
That's it guys, maybe this review it's not big thing, but, as i was writting this review, i was kinda developing even more knowledge about Kaze Ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru, and developing aswell my english vocabulary. This is my first review, i hope that i didn't messed up on it :)
