With the first season in rerun mode in Japan ahead of the second season, it’s only natural to plug that upcoming season of Free! within it. Such is the case as Kyoto Animation has dropped a new fifteen second spot into the latest episode and posted it online as well to get you ready for summer. Kyoto Animation had a lot of luck with the show during its first season with what it produced and has garnered a lot of fans of the swimming boys and now they’re inching closer to the new season. It’s expected to largely do the same as the first season in terms of distribution but we don’t have a formal date as of this point yet.
Plot concept: Nanase Haruka loved to be in the water – loved swimming. In elementary school, Nanase Haruka, Tachibana Makoto, Matsuoka Rin, and Hazuki Nagisa attended the same swimming class together. Time passed, and as Haruka was living an uneventful high school life, he suddenly encountered Rin again. Rin challenged Haruka to a race and showed him how much stronger he had become. Soon enough, Makoto and Nagisa also rejoined the group, and along with a new classmate, Ryugazaki Rei, they established the Iwatobi High School Swimming Club.
