I'm not sure if there is a Free! thread in here (couldn't find one), so I'm just gonna create a new thread. While I'm not the biggest fan of Free! so far (I have yet to see season 2), it is quite popular and deserves its own discussion thread. In addition to this, we've got the new movie coming this year.

Anime

free-iwatobi-swim-club-wallpaper-kyoani.

The main cast (from left to right): Nagisa Hazuki (blond-haired guy), Rei Ryuzagaki (blue-haired guy), Rin Matsuoka, Haruka Nanase, and Makoto Tachibana.

There are two season: Season 1 titled Free!- Iwatobi Swim Club and was released in 2013 with 12 episodes. Season 2 (2014) is titled Free!- Eternal Summer and was released in 2014 with 13 episodes.

 

Lightnovel

The anime is loosely based on the lightnovel High☆Speed! which currently has two volumes and was first given an "honerable mention" in 2011 during the Kyoto Animation Awards. It depicts Haruka & co during their elementary school years and middle school years (?).

The Movie

A movie will be released on December 9th this year. It will apparently be based on the lightnovel and depict the kids during their middle school years (sorry, most likely not a lot of Rei in it).

OVA

Yes, there has been an OVA released this year in March. You can watch it here:

Omg gosh Yas!! MakoHaru :argh:

 

He is?? Woow.

Same :argh:  I can't wait.

I don't really think he got. But he and Rin were the ones that got the most screentime from Samezuka.

 

I'll probably need to watch season 2 again some time.

Didn't you just tell me a few days ago about Naruka, Suna, and Shinichi's voice actor XD ?

Oh ok, I'll watch season 2 when I'm done with Gintama.

I know but my mind is having delusions that Haru and Mako did it. *wink* *wink* My heart skipped a beat during that episode.

I need to read more doujins about them while waiting for the movie. :argh:

Speaking of MakoHaru, I think Ladygt is also a fan of it.
