New Trailer Released Ahead of Free Season 3 July 11 Premiere

We have a new Dive to the Future trailer! After the special screening of Free!‘s first episode – along with the unaired “episode 0”, the official website released a brand new PV for the upcoming, highly-anticipated season 3.

The Dive to the Future trailer focuses mainly on the reunion of middle school teammates Haru, Makoto, Asahi, and Ikuya – though Nagisa and Rei show up, along with Sosuke, Aiichiro, Momo, Natsuya, and Nao. From the looks of the trailer, a few of the former teammates will be competing against each other in college!

Check out a subbed version of the trailer here.

People were worried when the first group of character cards was released, since there was a noted absence of Rei and Nagisa. As they were absent from the first teaser, there was some speculation that the series would focus only on the older group in Tokyo. However, the second group of character cards went a long way to assuaging people’s fears. We’ll be returning to Iwatobi in season 3, don’t you worry. In fact, the character list on the official site is quite extensive! Look! The new Iwatobi boys have names!

You can also check out all of the characters in the new key visual, which was released on the Twitter account over the weekend.

The theme song, “Heading to Over” is performed by OLDCODEX, who also performed the OP songs for both the first (“Rage On”) and second (“Dried Up Youthful Fame”) seasons.

Free! Dive to the Future premieres July 11 on TOKYO MX1 and TV Aichi, then the next day airs on ABC TV and BS 11. One week before the new season premieres, there will be a 30-minute special on the channels titled “You can learn about the Free! series even from now”, which will go into the history of the series, highlighting the first two seasons as well as the films.

I am unbelievably excited for the new season! I honestly can’t believe that we’re getting more Free! and I’m still kind of freaking out over the news. What are you guys most excited to see when Free! returns this July?
