As part of the partnership agreement with Funimation to bring out properties that they have the home video rights for, Funimation has revealed the solicitation information for the first season of Free!. The series will be getting a DVD/BD combo release in July that will mirror the overall design and feel of the second season that Funimation brought out previously. The release will be a bilingual one that at long last gives us the 2013 series on Blu-ray. Details are expected later today with extras and a firm date.
Plot concept: 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. less
