Happy Birthday Haru-chan!
This would make him 20, right?
>>143496944
Happy birthday, Haru.
You were an okay MC.
>>143496944
Happy birthday worst boy
>>143496944
Happy birthday, best boy! You're a cute.
>>143496989
If we don't believe the theory that the Free timeline actually happened in the past (I believe around 2005-ish), yes, he's 20 now.
>>143496944
Happy Birthday best girl
Also reminder that HS>>>>>>>>>Free
http://www.kyotoanimation.co.jp/books/free/
Free! and Free! -Eternal Summer- are being adapted into novels, with new side stories. Written by Yoktotani and illustrated by Nishiya.
>>143498264
I'm out of the loop for Free stuff. Who's subbing the movie?
Happy birthday best Free!
>>143498264
Shota Haru is pretty delicious
>>143496989
Yes, 20.
>>143497896
I completely forgot about that one. So they'd be around 27 years old now? I like that.
>>143498435
Yeah, me too. I like the idea of them being older than me.

We'll find out closer to the release date, I guess.
I'm sure tumblr will try. But worst case scenario: you have to wait for Nakagawa subs.If Pero is still around. I can do all the other shit but my Japanese is quite basic.
>>143496944
i dont get it. why are you into boys?
>>143498387
Shota Haruka is a miracle of the universe.
>>143498264
HS is better than Free when it comes to killing the franchise, yes.
>>143498552
>worst case scenario
But that's still better than tumblr subs.
What are you doing to celebrate autism moe boy's birthday?

I'm just sad that Free is most likely dead.
>>143498673

Eating saba
>>143498763
It's not. We have an event in 2017 and kyoani is still milking Free with tons of merch.
>>143498673
I meant worst due to the wait, not the quality.
>What are you doing to celebrate autism moe boy's birthday?
Nothing, really. I like him, but not enough as to prepare something.

Utsumi has a new project outside of KyoAni, I think.

I thought 2009 was a surer bet.
>>143498555
Haru is s beautiful girl.
>>143499190
>>143499425
It's just a gag manga.
So it seems fujos are assuming Free will continue because Nobunaga Shimazaki asked for our "continued support".
>>143500036
>posting this cunt here
Fuck off.
>>143499916
Utsumi is such a fujo.
>>143499425
She did a spread for Bungou Stray Dogs (confirming she's no longer with KyoAni) and then there was this interview or whatever it was mentioning this other series.
>>143499916
Oh, so that's it? I thought it was "curve", not "carve". It looks fujo as fuck.
>Lao Coonte
>Miche Langelo
Also looks unoriginal.
>>143500036
Is it that rare to say 今後ともよろしく on a birthday greeting?
Are lewd Harus allowed?
>>143501374
No, but fujos really want more Free so they interpret it like that.
>>143501509
Yes.
>>143501065
It's always been "carve".
>>143501509
No!

Or she quit. We don't know. All we know is that she was too lewd for KyoAni.

To answer the age/year question, there's a 2015 on his jacket here.

The book containing that image was published on 2015. Not really a sign of the anime happening that year.
But then again, the whole 2000 theory is based on their cellphone's model release dates, nothing specific either.
I guess we'll never know. Specially since KyoAni took the effort to hide any dates in the anime.

Hairy Makoto won the fight against cancer.
I avoided Free! since it came out in 13' and just recently have watched it/gotten in to it. I'm super depressed that I missed out on so much hype. I've watched 2 seasons the Eternal Summer seiyuu event and am working on the drama cds. I also have the movie ordered. What else do I need to catch up on?
And a Happy Birthday to Haru chan. I'll have to make something in his honour today.
I'm so fucking sad that I missed their lives as it was happening.

>>143509009
Thank you
>>143508312
I'm going through the entire tag on sadpanda at the moment. Then when I eventually finish I'll work through the archive.
>>143508375
Ah, it's hard to say. I honestly like them all pretty well and don't dislike anyone. That being said I think I might love Makoto and want him to have a happy life. Sousuke is also pretty wonderful. Rin and Haru too.
>>143508654
>Are you a faggot?
Probably. I thought it was just a garbage pandering fujo show and that I would't be able to stomach it. Now I can't stop thinking about them and was cheering them on in the last episodes like a autistic fool.
>Now you have to make a shrine and bow to it everyday.
Will do.
Shota Haru makes me uncomfortabledown below.
>>143508936
You're wonderful. Thank you so much.
Yeah, now I know it's better just to dive in head first rather than miss all the discussions and excitement.
I'm a pretty big buyfag so I'll drown myself in getting caught up with merch.
>>143509134
But all they talk about is RabuRaibu.
>>143509145
Check the tags 怜遙 and 遙怜 on pixiv. Hope it helps with your depression, anon. Seeing pictures of Haru smiling kinda helps me, so I understand you.
Is the Drive being updated, at least? I haven't checked it in a while.
>>143509301
>Makotofag
I welcome you.
Regarding buyfagging, there's lots of shitty merch like keychains or fake eyelashes cases, but the few worthy merch we got were good. Figma could have been better, if only they used the school uniform instead of of the swimsuit.
>>143509524
>Is the Drive being updated, at least?
I need to organize it, but most of the stuff should be there.
>>143509613
>I need to organize it, but most of the stuff should be there.
Including the HS spreads? I don't have most of them and I don't want to search on that website.
>>143509613
I ordered my Haru Figma and I'm planning on sewing a lot of clothes so I can hide those hideous joints and back plates.
>>143509301
Welcome, Anon. Just remember >pic related.
>>143508132
Welcome Anon. You'll never too late to feel the blessing of Makoto.
>>143509869
>Including the HS spreads?
I never really bothered saving those, but I should. Meanwhile, you can get most of them from http://www.zerochan.net/free%21%2CKyoto+Animation
>I'm planning on sewing a lot of clothes
Haru has the apron and Makoto has the crossed arms so joints can be somewhat disguised (though with limited poses). But clothes are always cute, so I wish you luck, Anon.
>>143508936
I'd be excited for another season because of new threads alone. I miss them.
>>143510255
>>143510141
>zerochan
Right, I hadn't thought of that. Bless you, drive anon.
Thanks!
>>143510255
Me too. Kinda wish the same but it'll never happen. At most we'll have another movie.
>>143506758
I think the aspiring med-anon confirmed it's a rotator cuff injury.
>>143508160
Longest one that hasn't gone victim to absolute shitposting and trolls, yeah.
>>143510255
Never forget.
>>143504043
Haru is such a cute <3
>>143508439
>>143510410
>confirmed
Hard to say when absolutely nothing about the injury was ever mentioned. But it's the most common and most likely.
>>143506257
Will he ever get a happy ending?
>>143510773
It's not like we could get Dr. House in the thread for a differential diagnosis.
>>143510881
I believe in it.
Is it me or does this track of the Kiznaiver OST sound very similar to Free's Sound of Defeat?

Thought so. It's not even the same composer.
>>143511484
>I'm not even a Sousukefag.
Same here. I just want everyone to have a happy ending. His was extremely open. A proper conclusion would be good.
>Short haired Haru
Not bad.
>>143511051
Hard to tell with all the dialogue and SFX on top, but they sure are similar.

>>143511648
Don't worry anon, I'm sure we'll have a movie with Haru, Rin and Sousuke at the Olympics and the others cheering for them. Rei will have more screentime too.I want to believe ;_;
>Not bad.
He looks good in anything. Have some grown up Haru.
>>143511867
He's 20 now, not a moe girl anymore.;_;
>>143512646
I like them mature looking.But a dress is fine too.

>>143509613

What the fuck, that's weird.
I've pre-ordered the jerseys and will snag the figmas. I'll keep an eye out for decent stuff.

Why haven't you killed yourself yet /a/?
>>143515529
I love that pic.
Yeah, I really missed these comfy threads. We hadn't have one of these for a long time. Reminds me of the threads during S1, after the shitstorm ended and the trolls gave up.
>>143516239
>I'll keep an eye out for decent stuff.
Buy the scales (including the lewd Sousuke and Rin ones). Omanjuus are cute if you're into that stuff (they're very pricey though).
Are you gonna actually wear the jerseys? I'd get one but I don't think I'd ever wear it. I'm planning on getting the shirt in the picture instead.
>back of the t-shirt
>>143516631
Because VR and future technology gives me some hope. One day we'll be with our husbandos/waifus, anon.
>>143516732
>scales (including the lewd Sousuke and Rin
Oh god haha I might (most likely will). I could never let friends see them.
>Are you gonna actually wear the jerseys?
Yes. I bought the knockoff ones from Amazon and wanted the official ones as well.
I'd wear them jogging and what not. The knockoff I have I just wear around the house and to get the mail.
That shirt is nice but a bit too girly of a cut for me. (I'm sure it'll look good on you!)
>>143518041
You could make a secret shrine inside a closet. Your friends wouldn't know.
I wish I lived by myself so I could get some dakis. Man, if I could I'd be a huge buyfag but I don't even have the money for it.
I saw the official jerseys at a con, they were 50€. How much are they online? Thinking about it, it'd be actually kinda nice to have them cause they're low profile, no one would really guess they're from an anime, I think.We're all little girls here, anon.
This t-shirt is also nice, only Freefags would get the reference.
>>143518371
That one is really nice. I'd probaly want it even without knowing the reference.
>>143512646
Something about Haru being the oldest of the main Frees always got me going for some reason.
I think it was for similar reasons regarding why Haru = husband personality/womanly hobbies and Makoto = wifely personality/manly hobbies thing worked for me.
The gap of the most autistic being combined with the most mature in age.
>>143518371
Love this one.
>>143518371
I don't get why you'd get something ugly I don't even remotely associate with free.
>>143518846
Not even after seeing this do I get it. It doesn't even look the same. Probably just some scam artist trying to make a buck off of an IP he doesn't own
>>143518764
>>143518846
If you don't want to spend 20 dolars on a shirt, you could just vectorize the image and print it on transfer paper. That's what I'll do. Gotta save them bucks for the scales.
>>143518901
I prefer these subtle designs to that Hot Topic shit, that's why. And this thing is ugly moe.
>>143518826
I couldn't have put it better. I also view him as very manly, despite his hobbies. The gap moe is strong with him.
Which soundtrack do you guys prefer? I like S1's way better.
>>143519129
I don't want to make fun of you, but it's only acceptable to wear graphic tees if you're a teen
>>143518901
It's Deep Sea-kun, you uncultured swine.
>>143518901
>he hasn't seen FrFr
>>143519254
I have. Way to get the point.
>>143518371
What makes it worth getting is that Haru has the same shirt.that Rin slept in
>>143519154
Are you really that concerned about what's "acceptable" and what's not? I think we should wear what we like.
>>143519356
Exactly. Man, I should listen to the drama cds again, those are fun. Wish the show had been as fun as them and the shorts/OVA.
>>143498346
Commie just finished doing Eternal Summer BDs like 2 days ago so probably them.
>>143519427
Why couldn't we get a movie made from FrFr and drama cds instead? ;_;
>>143519482
Great.
>>143519637
Because Utsumi is a filthy fujo.
>>143519482
When was the bd released?
>>143518826
That's beautiful anon.
>>143516239
>What the fuck, that's weird.
It's a weird world out there.
http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=CGD2-68837
Free is quite good when it comes to clothes buyfagging: the club jerseys are pretty normal and it has several ugly moe mascots for t-shirts.
>>143519427
>Wish the show had been as fun as them and the shorts/OVA.
OVA was glorious. Perfect balance of character development and comedy. I wish the show could have been like it.
This was a comfy thread.
Until next time, freefags.
Happy Birthday best girl!

But the onii-chan doodle is super cute.
>>143518371
>You could make a secret shrine inside a closet
I might have a display up that looks cool out in my living room or computer room and then have a secret lewd one hidden somewhere haha
>How much are they online?
17,064 JPY
That shirt is cute.
>>143520322
Bizarre
If I had that I'd use it as a pill case.
Yeah a lot of the official shirts look like normal sports shirts as well.
>>143522381
>have a secret lewd one hidden
Like a fapping shrine?
I just couldn't get myself to buy Rin and Sosuke. They were too lewd. I couldn't even buy Rin because of his slutty pose. And I'm thinking of selling Haru due to his pose, too.
Makoto made me so vanilla, it's scary.
>>143523194
>And I'm thinking of selling Haru due to his pose, too.
Alter Haru? Isn't his pose completely normal?
>>143523194
My whole house is a fapping shrine haha
But seriously I don't want overt gay shit just lying around when company might come by. So I'll probably set it up in my bedroom.That being said I'll probably eventually break down and fap in front of said lewd shrine.
![free_pvc_05[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/SBEVhO8.jpg "free_pvc_05[1].jpg")
>>143523697
I don't know. They way he's not really walking, while barely holding his flying jacket and lifting his arm to show his waist.
Maybe I'm just Makotofagging hard. Everything is slutty compared to Makoto's purity.
Reminder that Rin a aids infested slut and should be hanged.
Reminder that Haru-chan is a boy.
>>143525730
He's a semen demon that deserves love.
>>143527008
But can a boy like Haru get pregnant?
>>143527008
I actually liked Makoto's old swimsuit. Orange suits him too.
Happy birthday Haru. You're not as good as my husbando but you got something going for you.
>>143508160
>wired controllers
huh, maybe it does take place in the past...
>>143524542
The Haru is just inherently slutty. It just comes naturally to him since he's always stripping.
>>143528333
Easily.
Haru a shit.
>>143532331
You're a shit.
I can't wait for High Speed!
>>143528333
Makoto surely tries his hardest every night regardless.
>>143519129
>I also view him as very manly
Stoic is not manly, anon. Haru has a soft and gentle side too. Nobody in Free is really manly, they're all little girls inside.
>>143534109
>tfw the only subs we're gonna get are from tumblr or fencer
I'm scared.
>>143535250
I don't know about the other fujos, but isn't fencer good at translations at least?
>>143508160
>3 ps2 controllers
This triggers me
>>143535119
These two studs prove your statement false.
How long did it take Commie to translate ES? Trying to get a hunch of when I can expect to watch Makoharu love story.
>>143496944
Haru is the worst type of autist. The type that is taken serious by the cast and creators.
Why was Rin so happy and smiling in season 2? Did this disgust anyone else?
>>143535792
Fuck off fencer.
>>143536271
He stopped the edgelording because of the power of friendship, did you not watch?
>>143536340
Not her, geniunly curious since I've been craving the fucking movie since last march.
>>143536391
They can't be trusted because she shamelessly exaggerates or just plain changes the meanings of the japanese words during translation to falsely make her shitty OTP look better. If she touches this movie at all its probably for this reason too.
>>143536689
Sasuga RinHaru shippers
>>143496989
He's a year younger tan me, that menas it's fine tolovehim.
>>143536391
Fencer is a good translator but she hates Starting Days so I doubt she's going to waste her time.
Damn, now I want to watch this. Been avoiding it for some time because I thought it was KyoAni's (recent) weakest, but maybe I was wrong.
>>143537870
it's mediocre, but enjoyable if you like cute boys
>>143536391
Her translations don't seem as bad as that other fujo whose name I forgot (the one who always used "OMG" or made Rin swear). But she is known to be biased towards her RinHaru OTP, usually translating only parts with them or dedicating a whole post to a theory about Makoto committing suicide in HS2.

>KyoAni's (recent) weakest
It's KyoAni's recent best seller, Anon. Far from a masterpiece, but still pretty good if you watch expecting cute boys doing cute friendship things. And it's easy to ignore most of the fujobait as jokes.

And Vol.2 announced.

I think it's the perspective. Still, quite a boring cover.
I thought it was good. It's been a hard wait since December to see it again

Could be "bucket" instead of "packet". Or maybe "baguette" (the most logical), though I don't see anything next to the ケ.
