This show has the most cancerous fanbase of the year even before it airs.
sasuga kyoanus lickers.
They don't care about story at all.

I just want some dojin where, in order to raise money for the swim team the boys have to whore themselves out to faceless older women, but eventually become mind broken and permanently addicted to the V, forgetting about why they were raising money in the first place.

Don't even try to use reason, they couldn't tell apart fujoshi fanservice from Otome shows if their lives depend on it.

KnK: real, realistic and flawed characters with personality
Free: idealized fujoshi toys

Discuss
>>
Judging by /a/'s reaction whenever this show is mentioned, when this thing is airing we're going to have more threads about this than SnK, I fear.
Should I run now?

If you're seriously trying to claim that any average TV show has the same budget as Hyouka does then you're even more delusional than the FMP and Haruhifags.

>>86445449
Nah, there'll be barely any threads. You can bet on that.
>>
>>86445449
Yes.

The threads will have butthurt /pol/ and /v/ posters, attentionwhores of both genders, trolls, kyoani haters, trolls, kyoani fans that feel betrayed and god only knows who else.
>>
>>86445481
It's so far only one volume, as far as I know.
Of course not translated

>>86445464

Budget is not the only way to make a show look good, good time management is also needed, and it's evident kyoani staff itself cared about hyouka.

Really? REALLY?

The playful, shota-looking bishounen. The silly-yet-mature older-looking bishounen with droopy eyes. The pseudo-rapist rival character with violent tendencies and fang teeth. The almost-autistic, SERIOUS dark-haired hero. All the fujoshit stuff has these exact 4 characters.

you know where I'm going with this
>>
>>86445770
Chuu2 only had 1 LN out when that got an anime. LNs need less volumes than manga adaptations. Even this season, Hataraku Maou-sama is only adapting 2 LNs in a series of 8 books
>>
>>86443059
Only if you ban Chuu2, Jojo and SnK threads. Those shows attract a worse fanbase than Free will.

Chuu2Koi adapted one single novel.

There are SOME yaoi doujin, but most people who like utapri are otomefans
>>
>>86448908
Otomefags need a feemale MC to self insert and pretend that the guys are in love with them.

Would there be this amount of mad if it had been made by another studio?

The good formula is just manservice + sports + friendship.

Why is he tilting the pan like that? What if all those cookies fell on the floor? Also, he had a ton of room left to spread them out on the pan, but he placed them so close together that they melded.

It would be lighter, clearer and less grey.

Also that surface doesn't look like water.

>>86448975
No. If it were DEENshit no one would care. Half of the butthurt is "MUH KYOANI" and "MUH FMP/HARUHI S3"
>>
>>86448996
Reverse trolling is also shit, anon
>>
>>86448975
It's only like this because KyoAni knows how to sell their stuff. Otherwise it wouldn't have gotten that much attention
>>
Meh, it's bad but i don't care much. I was obvious the fanbase for this was going to be awful, but so what? Are other fanbase out of there better?

It's not like i'll discuss it on any place other than /a/, anyway.

>>86448908
>I don't see why otome fans wouldn't also buy into Free

Because not every girl is a fujoshi, but every fujoshi is a girl.

In short, there a lot of girls that don't like man on man stuff.
>>
>>86449057
But girls do like male fanservice. Free! isn't just fujoshi aimed, it's just aimed at girls in general

Free isn't going to be man on man, moron. How gay do you expect KyoAni to be? I'm betting that it won't be any more homo than Kuroko.
>>
>>86449134

Otome fans like to self-insert as the girl. It's like saying K-on yuri fanbase and To-love-ru have the same audience.

>>86449167
>Free isn't going to be man on man, moron. How gay do you expect KyoAni to be? I'm betting that it won't be any more homo than Kuroko.

Of course it won't be. But there won't be a reverse harem either .

It would be a legendary show if it gets Shungiku Nakamura level homo in it.

>>86448989
>The good formula is just manservice + sports + friendship.
But that's the fujoshi formula. They don't like explicit pairing, they prefer subtext.
>>
>>86449043

I dont what is "Reverse trolling"
>>
>>86448966
Actually, that's untrue. I'm surprised at how little /a/ seems to know about the otome crowd.

Otome fans essentially are just seiyuufags. You'd be really, really hard-pressed to find an otomefag who gives even the slightest of fucks about the plot of characters in an otome series, but ask an otomefag about their favorite seiyuu and you probably won't hear the end of it. Astonishingly few of them are in it for the self-insertion or the romance aspect, they just want to hear their favorite seiyuu doing their thing.

Female audiences in general really don't do the self-insertion thing the way male audiences do. It's considered childish and/or vain to them. Generally if you admit to doing it past the age of 12 or so, you can expect to be thought of in poor taste.
>>
>>86449272
I'm talking about the part of the fanbase that will ship and be more annoying than any husbandofag.
>>
>>86449240
I don't know much about fujoshi or otome fans, but I would imagine that manservice would appeal to both of them in the same way that shows with a lot of female fanservice attract both harem and yuri fans.
>>
>>86449010
Appreciate the fact that they're ready, Kyon.

What if I wanted a cookie, but only one of those fused monstrosities is left? If I didn't have a knife, I would have to break it apart with my hands, meaning that I would have touched both cookies. If I could only eat one of them, that means that I would have touched someone else's cookie, which is considered a rude gesture.
>>
>>86449346
Oh well, shippers are an inevitable disease, they're even in SnK which isn't even a SoL
>Misakafags vs Anniefags, who should be with Eren.
Fuck
>>
>>86449399
It may and it may not. It's not uncommon for fujoshi or otomefags to be especially prudish in their preferences, so manservice as blatant as Free! might be offputting to those of a more delicate constitution.
>>
>>86449598
How do you think Free will go over with female otaku and even casual women who are neither fujoshi or otomefags? Do they make up a good percentage of the market?
>>
>>86449754
Good question. I also wonder if this is likely to be licensed in the U.S., and how it will be marketed if it is.
>>
>>86449754
I believe Free will go over wonderfully with female otaku and casual female fans alike, and honestly I do think the fujoshi crowd will have a considerable thrust in the series' popularity.

If I had to estimate, I'd say maybe 1 in 30 or so are too prudish for shirtless dudes doing swimmer things, meaning that the show is a likely candidate for becoming an industry juggernaut despite its more unconventional approach to manservice.
>>
>>86450077
I don't think any KyoAni shows have been licensed since Haruhi, but if it did it would no doubt sell very well. Kuroshitsuji's success here shows that it doesn't take much to sell to Western females.

Funny enough, Crunchyroll hasn't had very good luck acquiring KyoAni shows to stream. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't get the rights, despite all the fuss they made over the CM.
>>
>>86450472
>I don't think any KyoAni shows have been licensed since Haruhi

Lucky Star, K-On, Chuunibyou have been licensed.
>>
>>86450536
I stand corrected. If they licensed Chuunibyou, then it's pretty likely that they will license Free as well.

Will there be a dub?
>>
Each of the Frees will get a character CD with their seiyuu singing on it. How does that make you feel?
>>
>>86447759
Right, but with P4 that was an established franchise.
>>
>>86448734
Of couse it will. It's set up for shipping.

There has been a lot of positive comments too. Just not on /a/ because this is /a/. The twitter count and the pixiv art are kind of demonstrative that hype is building.
