Dive to the future (S3)

Ah, Free! The hashtag was confusing, I thought it meant a TV movie i.e. a free movie and then the acronym was wrong as well! DttF or D2tF would be better.

 

[HWR]

Agreed, I think ending it with the upcoming film would be fitting, I don’t think there’s much more they can do with the story and characters. I’m delving into the prequel film, recaps and S3 precursor soon.

 

[thedoctor2016]

The prequel is/ was essential for DTTF imo well I feel all of the films were. Hopefully FUNi releases s3 soon so I can watch it all again

 

[HWR]

I’m hoping it gives some more context to S3, really was a bad move to release it after the season had already premiered.

 

[thedoctor2016]

Yeah Funimation really cocked up the films releases. Kinda glad they learnt with Geass

 

[HWR]

kinda glad I got the LE Film Collection now as I found out that the recap films for S1 and S2 are exclusive to it.

 

[thedoctor2016]

They directly refer to S3, and yeah putting them LE exclusive was clever and stupid as hey its nearly OOP So FUNI is happy when it does go OOP people can't see those films. Also why aren't they streaming..

 

[HWR]

Still need to locate an outer box for the ES LE so all my Free! stuff lines up.

 

[thedoctor2016]

I mean FUNi putting all the slipcovers in the film LE means they don’t match anyway...

 

[thedoctor2016]

At least the font matches

 

[HWR]

True, the spines On the back of the box line up a bit better at least.

 

[thedoctor2016]

Here’s hoping s3 matches at least FUNi are giving CEs again.

The recap features new content so FUNi can’t skip it

In other words, the swimming anime is getting a film to perfectly time with the Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

 

[thedoctor2016]

And that isn’t much of a surprise at all

The BBFC change their guidelines... might have an effect on some anime.

Stricter age ratings for film rape scenes

No sexual violence for under 15 year-olds. I wonder if every Carry On where Sid James slaps Barbara Windsor on the arse will have to be re-rated.

Incidentally, the BBFC also wants to own the streaming sphere.

 

[IncendiaryLemon]

I'm not entirely sure I can think of examples of sexual assaults/rape getting below a 15 in the first place?

I think in any harem anime comedy where a boy pratfalls face first into a girl's cleavage counts as molestation.

 

[Girls with Guns]

Well, they'll just have to ban all anime in the UK then, except for all the titles I like - since I avoid any ecchi, harem, moe, or comedy shows, they won't be blocking any shows I watch, lol...
