Free! - Makoto is going to tokyo 

I’ve discovered that the only real antagonist in sports anime is University.....

It only takes a "I'm going to a unversity in Tokyo" attack to completely destroy Nanase Haruka's cool.

Poor Makoto all he does is care about Haru

No matter how many times I watch this scene, the look on Haru's face when Makoto lets of go of his hand gets me every time. Thanks for sharing.

Harus face when makato tells him that he's going to a university in Tokyo, IK HARUS DOESN'T WANT HIM TO LEAVE.... WAAAAAAAA

damn, Haru realized he's been taking Makoto for granted this whole time. He thought Makoto was forever his. This must be shocking.

This moment is one of my favorites because throughout pretty much the whole series, Haru has shown almost zero emotion, and when he did, it was a kind of quiet emotion. Seeing him outspoken, and angry, is something really different, amazing, and it reminds you that he is human.

This is the worst for me 😭😭😭 they've never had a fight during all their lives and this is sad. Haru is afraid of losing makoto

I love all the boys in "Free!" but honestly Makoto has a special place in my heart. I love him. Yes, Makoto i love you.

これ、けっこうキツイけど、実は一番好きなシーンかもしれない。ケンカしたけどロマンチックって感じ。やっぱ真琴は絶対的な存在だなって。

Lol I remember watching this the first time and being like when did this show become so real wtf I signed up for shirtless guys swimming not feelings and making me question my own future

How Haru gets upset at Makoto since Makoto is also questioning Haru about his future. How Haru gets surprised since Makoto finally snaps at him. It's the first time that Makoto has actually yelled at him, and not in a way where he simply raised his voice. Haru looks affected after Makoto yelled at him but gets mad again when Makoto mentions the future. Haru snaps and in the moment simply says whatever at Makoto. This is the moment where he tells Makoto that Makoto always meddles in everyone else's business, and that he shouldn't do that when he hasn't figured out his future either. Makoto looks hurt, poor baby. And in the moment when Makoto finally lets go of Haru's hand, we can see how hurt and confused Haru is. We have always seen Makoto reaching out to hold Haru's hand, yet here, Makoto lets go. This simple action has so much meaning behind it. It's showing how Makoto is finally letting Haru go. How he isn't going to decide things for Haru anymore. He won't be dependent on Haru or let Haru be dependent on him. He wants to see Haru move forward, even if it means that Makoto will be left behind.

That really inconvenient timing of the fireworks, are set at the time my heart goes snap

i remember crying when this episode came out lmaooo

I should say

When Makoto says this Haru looked more shocked than ever

I FREAKIN BROKE DOWN IN THIS SCENE T_T

This scene is pure gold because you can see how much Haru cares about Makoto and seems like he took him for granted. BUT I WISH THEY SHOWED MORE OF HARU'S FEELINGS ABOUT THIS LATER.

I ship Haru and Makoto but to be honest no one deserves Makoto, he is just too nice, he is a person we all wish we had in our lives.

i've always found the camera work of this scene so good. The shaky and blurring motions added to the impact of the argument. My favorite was the one at
