For the Team...
Plot:
The story started with Haruka Nanase, Makoto Tachibana and Nagisa Hazuka who got reunited in Iwatobi High School. The three of them were in the same swimming club in grade school that was about to be torn down. They decided to pay a visit and dig the trophy they’ve won before. Rin Matsuoka, their former teammate who came back from Australia, turns up in order to challenge Haruka to see who's the faster swimmer and won. However, Rin, knowing that Haruka was not in his best state, did not consider his victory. Rin goes to Samezuka Academy but was not initially a member of the school’s swimming club. Nagisa then, came up with an idea to start a swimming club in order to see Rin on tournaments. They recruited Rei Ryugazaki who was a member of the track and field club. Rei, who has a great liking to beautiful things, decided to join the swimming club after he saw Haruka's beautiful swimming style. A lot of stuffs happened then. Prefectural tournament came but the four of them did not advance to the finals. Gou Matsuoka, manager of Iwatobi High School Swimming Club and also Rin's younger sister, secretly signed them up for the medley relay, giving them the chance to get to regionals. (Note: medley relay is a race swum by four swimmers combining the four different swimming styles: Backstroke, Breaststroke, Butterfly and Freestyle.
Remark/Comments:
As an otaku, I have watched anime about different kinds of sports. This anime is about swimming. To tell you the truth, I don’t have any interest about this sport because I suck at swimming (>.<). The anime was aired in Japan between the 4th of July and 26th of September.I had a great time watching the anime. Aside from those good-looking and hot bishounens (*_*), the story has humor and moral lessons. To all those people who loved swimming, this anime definitely suits you. And guess what? The season 2 has already been announced by the creator on a special talk in Japan. Well, they did left a message at the end of the first season saying "See you next summer". The anime teaches us how important camaraderie is. Teamwork is not just in Basketball, Football or Baseball. It's in every sport.
