An homage to my favorite anime's series finale. I will miss it (there's going to be a rant about how much I loved this anime below in the description). My editing's crap, but I needed to get my emotions out.
I greeted the new Free! season with this song, so I thought it would only be fitting to close out the season with the same one; though it's a remix.
If you want to time travel, here's my vid from the beginning of the season:

Okay, so here's my rant about how much I adore this silly anime.
Free! was the first anime I've ever watched (unless you count watching Pokemon when I was 5 because it was the only thing on). I went into the series hating anime, I just never liked it. I enjoyed a select few Studio Ghibli movies, but other than that I just thought anime was pretty dumb.
WELL, I was wrong!!! I got so into this anime; shipping characters and editing videos with them and just absolutely falling in love with them. Because I watched this, I began watching other animes that I now love as well.
Most importantly, I have made so many wonderful friends on Tumblr and YouTube just because I saw them edit something with Free! and talked with them about characters I like. I'm very thankful for the friendships I've made because of this show. My editing has also come a long way since I began watching this show, all because this silly swimming thing inspired me♥ I wouldn't be where I am today without it!
Big big thank you to Yasmin (my YouTube bff, some of you may know her as Silver Phoenix). She's the one who convinced me to watch this show. Arrigato Yazzie-Chan! ♥♥♥
