>>3125454General consensus and my opinion is that it's better than the first season; it's also the animated debut of Sousuke, who is a favourite among many fans. (His first actual appearance is in the LNs.) No 3rd season yet.
The full list of Free! media at the moment roughly goes:
>High Speed! (Light Novels) | Predecessors to the anime. Useful and worth reading IMO but not strictly necessary.>S1 + S2>Various CDs and mooks and promo material transcripts>High Speed 1 (manga)| Adaptation of 1st LN, art's kinda ass, just read the LN.>High Speed 2 (Movie) | Adaptation of 2nd LN, mostly Makoto/MakoHaru fanservice, as admitted by KyoAni themselves. Takes many liberties from the source LN due to this.>Free! Timeless Medley Bond | Recap movie focused on Iwatobi + new scenes>Free! Timeless Medley Promise | Recap movie focused on Samezuka + new scenes>Free! Take Your Marks | Upcoming movie that's focused on the end of the boys' third year, four 'shorter' stories in one.There's also several drama CDs and character CDs for both seasons of the show. I think it's 5 character CDs + 4 duet CDs + 2 drama CDs for S1, then 6 character CDs + 2 drama CDs + the mook audios for S2.
>Basic Free! experience, no backstory>S1 + S2 (Don't forget the FrFrs! for S1 and the bonus episode 14 for S2)>I love these boys and I want to know them intimately>S1 + S2 + LNs + assorted transcripts (especially the drama CD and mook transcripts)This is the tier you're going to want to do if you want to have any serious interaction with the fandom since most of us still hanging around will assume that you have consumed all of this shit. I didn't realize just how much info there was until I started typing this out.
>I want it all>Watch and read everything, you crazy diamondThe TM movies haven't been released on BD yet since they just came out. TYM comes out in theatres in 2 months. People are hoping for S3, but if it ever happens, it'll probably depend on how well the movies do.
