An enigmatic goodbye to the third season of the swimming-themed anime has left fans of the show eager to see what’s next. We had no idea what 2020 would bring, and now that the calendar has been thrown off, we’re all left to fend for ourselves.
High Speed! by Koji Ji is loosely inspired by the story of the Iwatobi Swim Club in “Free!” The club’s talented team of swimmers, led by protagonist Haruka Nanase, has shown its promise in the pool since childhood. Friendships ebb and flow with sporting achievements and failures, and rivalries erupt that spill onto dry land.
The first season premiered in 2013 and season two followed the following year, making a huge impact on the sports anime genre and beyond. Season 3 of “Free!” premiered in 2018 after a four-year wait – but “Free!” fans weren’t completely stranded.
To tease what would happen in Season 3, the show’s creators Kyoto Studios and Animation Do publish a film series in 2015 that recapped the past two seasons’ plots and added some new prequel material. While “Free! Road to the World – the Dream” (2019) recapped Season 3, it left the waters of the future looks somewhat cloudy.
Let’s take a look at what we know so far about Season 4 while we wait for the starting gun.
Free Anime Season 4 Plot
There are more swimmers on the Iwatobi team. Anime fans may be looking forward to Olympic swimming themes in the new Free! movie because the third season focuses more on protecting the future.
The only thing we don’t know about the program is whether or not the new movie will set the stage for Season 4 or propel it into the heart of the action.
As in Free! Take Your Marks! from last year, the activities leading up to Free! Dive To The Future, a film scheduled for release in 2021, is expected to lay the stage for Free! a fourth season
