German distributor Peppermint Anime has been releasing the Free! Eternal Summer series on DVD and Blu-ray over the last few months and September 30th, 2016 saw the fourth and final volume of it arrive. With that now out in the wilds they’ve released a fun new clip for it that works through several members of the cast as well as giving some time to Gou and how she impacts some of the boys. It continues to be fun to check out how it sounds dubbed into German, something that can alter your view of it just a touch – much as English does for a lot of fans of the original Japanese!

Plot concept: The cherry blossoms are blooming, the sun is shining, and it’s the perfect time to hit the pool! Haruka, Makoto, Nagisa, and Rei are anxious to get into the water and warm up their winter muscles ASAP, but things aren’t all flip-turns and finish lines. Haru’s passion for swimming is drying up, which dashes Rin’s hope for a true rivalry. With their futures after high school looming over them, Makoto and Haru are having a hard time focusing. And a gruff new Samezuka student, Sosuke, appears just in time to jeopardize Iwatobi’s chance at nationals.
