Free had too much focus on drama ect and not enough hot-blooded swimming so I didn't watch much of it, but I have enjoyed seeing the recent compilation movies. They trim the fat and keep just the most important bits of Eternal Summer and were actually really entertaining, especially the second one with RIn/Sosuke. I never liked Rin much since I only saw his being-a-dick parts in the first series not the redemptive-ish second half, so I was surprised by how good it was.

this is 10000% fair because free never really pulls the trigger on anything, but some of the boys sure act like they're dating, but in the end the show's too much of a coward to really do anything. i really couldn't recommend it to anyone who wanted to watch a gay anime. for me tho i watched it a time where i was unsure if i was gay and the amount i was into it kinda told me that answer. one of the characters is almost 1:1 to me tho, so that's cool too.

free's probably not actually good, but i sure like it. the OVA where all the boys have a water gun fight was good.

The first season of Swim Boys wasn't very good, it focused way too hard on Rin and his brooding wasn't interesting enough to carry the entire show. Second was pretty good though, it became about everyone's interlocking stories which is what a sports show should be like. Rin faded into the background and became cool, and it was just more fun in general.

I don't know if it's top tier sports but it's so pretty that it works anyway.

Yeah there's actually good stuff in the later stuff once the characters start clicking and there's more than like five of them, and they actually do jokes mixed with interesting character goals. The first season is a lot of fluff and angst on top of being very gay coded but not actually doing anything.

Watching Haikyuu after and seeing a powerful sports show blew my drat mind

Yeah I mean tbf while it was very obviously calculated to drive fujos wild I felt like it was more intended to be a hot guy fanservice show than really a gay show but it doesn't work for me at all on that level either so it's whatever. OTOH I wouldn't need gay or hot guy pandering to carry the show for me if the comedy/drama did. Glad you liked it and are gay though.

Oh I guess I do think it's kind of lame to not go anywhere with the gay thing then have an ED where everyone's in a gay fetish night club quenching their thirst but then again that was my favorite thing about the show.

Deeply tedious.

In some ways it was gayer than free, but the characters were all so incredibly dull that I gave up after about episode four.

Yeah I stalled out around the same spot. I haven't completely given up hope that I might finish it but it would have been easier going if the animation was at least nice looking but the show overall being really cheap/ugly wasn't helping at all.

Jeez, it seemed like there were a whole lot of still frames in this week's Konohana.

But an evil doll got a haircut and it was still a decent episode.

it relies on still frames a lot but it still looks pretty decent from the backgrounds and use of color. i wonder if the limited animation is because lerche is not that big of a studio and is also doing kino's journey this season

it's not like the cloth weaving scene needs to be allocated much resources. large, scrolling stills, and reusing the assets there is fine by me, and the resolution is cute.

Oh the reused shot of the shuttle was fine and looked great, it was mainly the repeated shots of her working on the loom complete with sound effects but she's totally frozen that made me notice (and then keep noticing) some still frames throughout.

Show is still cute and good so that's ok.

I hope this turns out good, its an adaption of my favorite seinen. Really grounded drama series that deals with ambition and dreams as its main theme but is centered around a girls odd unrequited crush on an aimless restaurant manager.

It ends up encompassing a lot of aspects of life all at the same time so I feel like just calling it a romance series cheapens it. Its worth checking out now in comic form.
