After two TV seasons and three movie adaptations (4 if you count High*Speed!), the famous “Swimming Anime” known as Free! is back for another season! Similar to the previous season, Free! Dive to the Future went straight to introducing us to new characters. These new characters also play an important role in the potential conflict that revolves around Haruka and Makoto’s middle school days.
In Free! Dive to the Future we can see that Haruka finally managed to be more open towards others (although he still bears that “don’t get too close on me” aura). Fans might be excited to see the new characters take on the spotlight, but considering Free! focuses heavily on character relationships, newcomers might consider watching the first season beforehand.
