About Free! -Eternal Summer-

Meet Free! -Eternal Summer- (Free!-Eternal Summer-), a comedy, drama and slice of life anime by Kyoto Animation and Animation Do (2014). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The premise: Even though it has been a year since the Iwatobi High School Swim Club has been created, new members have yet to join the club. Now that Haruka Nanase and Makoto Tachibana are senior learners, along with their younger companions Nagisa Hazuki and Rei Ryuugazaki, they have to find a way to attract new members.

Another thread: If not, the club will be compelled to close the following year due to a lack of membership. Meanwhile, with impending graduation, it is also time for the seniors to decide their plans for the future. Unlike their friend Rin Matsuoka, the new captain of Samezuka Academy Swim Club who is determined to fulfill his dream of being a professional swimmer, Haruka and Makoto are unsure about what career path they want to take.

It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series. At 13 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
