I wonder, will Rei master swimming in a week?  I hope so… Believe it or not, this episode was very entertaining as the boys prepare for their first tournament. Kou shows how determined she is to see the boys succeed by writing down a regimen for the boys to follow. It just shows that she […]

Rei finally learns how to swim and the boys go shopping for new suits.  Here’s hoping the pace starts to pick up for Free! I say this episode has less realism than previous episodes because Rei’s attempts at swimming probably wouldn’t go quite as badly in reality as they did in this episode.  This isn’t … Continue reading »The post Free! – Iwatobi Swim Club – 04 appeared first on Anime Aura.
