It’s finally done! My 1yr project is complete. Here’s my recreation of the whole Makoharu mook as a photo illustrated video.

The subs might be off as I’m not a native speaker and referred to other translations of the mook to fill in the blanks where I didn’t understand.

The video is a combination of the written mook and audio for full makoharuness plus some of my own extra makoharu fluffs inbetween. It’ also made up of over 500 photos

Enjoy!

THIS IS AMAZING.

THE LIGHTING. THE DETAIL. THE SETS. HOLY…

HOW.

I JUST…

GEEZ.

Summary: He thought he had overcome it. He thought he had grown up from the
childish fears of imaginary things lurking in the water. Well, in the
pool – there was always something in the ocean – but there was nothing
at the bottom of the contained space other than textured concrete and
rippling shadows from the surface. Yet, somehow, he couldn’t stop how
his chest weighed heavy even after he’d be done swimming for the day.

Chapter summary: Graduation and celebration.

Not sure if this has been said before but I love the fact that Makoto gets down to eye level with Hayato most of the time. That’s a technique that many (if not all) experts give when dealing with child communication.
Being on the same level is so important because it helps them feel more in control, safer, and more connected to the adult. It communicates to them that you are there for them and are readily paying attention.

Mamakoto really lives up to the name.

Pst. Do Free, cause, we are always free.

OKAY!

The first character I first fell in love with: Haru, of course. He’s just the sort of character that I immediately latch on to. Obviously. 

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Nagisa, probably. That character type typically annoys the heck out of me, but I ended up really loving him. Thugisa probably had something to do with that…

The character everyone else loves that I don’t: You know, honestly, I think I like everyone in Free! at least as far as canon goes.  There are certain fan interpretations that make me roll my eyes, but no one in the series is great.

The character I love that everyone else hates: Hmm… a lot of people think that Haru is really whiny (he is), but I doubt most people hate him. TBH, I can’t think of anyone that is downright hated… 

The character I used to love but don’t any longer: Everyone has managed to maintain their awesomeness. 

The character I would totally smooch: EVERYONE would get a kiss on the forehead and a hug. They all need it. Precious babies. 

The character I’d want to be like: Rin, maybe.. at least now that he’s calmed the heck down. I admire his confidence and drive, and how he really cares about people. 

The character I’d slap: Momo, probs, and tell him to stop being so grabby.

A pairing that I love: Ugh. All of the. Makoharu, Sourin, Reigisa, etc etc etc… I’m really fond of Kisugou, too, which I guess it p unusual. 

A pairing that I despise: I don’t know. All of the characters are great, though I’m not fond of hate ships… so the whole RinHaru thing is annoying and I like them MUCH better as friends/rivals. Plus if you have Rinharu you can’t have Makoharu and Sourin and that is just a crime. D:< 

Oh I also am strongly opposed to the idea of Kisumi being everyone’s first kiss. Like wtf guys.
