Free! 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. |

That was the biggest let down of an ending I can think of. All the work Makoto, Haru, Nagisa, and Rei went through was wasted by Rin's emotional outburst. The entire team made him feel bad and Rei, never having a chance to show off his own skills, tossed himself aside for the good of the team.
Really, having Rin swim with them, despite the disqualification, after everything he did, was bogus. Nitori flinched when he reached, he tried to rough up both Rei and Haru, cheated, was a sore winner (and sore loser), but somehow was able to redeem himself at the end? That's really BS. I know why they did it the way they did, but it was still super disappointing not seeing anyone from Iwatobi actually race together and win. We never got that at all because Rin ruined it. I have so much hate for this character even if he is nicer now. The ending card says, "See you next summer time..." which means a second season might be possible. It would be a relief to see the main four actually work as a team together against Rin now that he's over his emo stage. I can't even... |
