All you need to know about this movie is that it's all focused on Rin and the Samezuka swim team. It's a retelling of Eternal Summer at face value, however, the extra scenes and emphasis on Rin and his swim team really made for this movie to be so good. If you're a Rin fan (like myself) you will absolutely enjoy this movie.
The beginning actually brought me to tears because there are extra scenes of Rin's childhood when his father was alive and he was a happy little kid who admired his father.

Okay, first things first, you're getting new Style Five music in this movie and the art and story are good as always. Second, don't watch this as a replacement to the anime series because it isn't.
However, unlike the first movie, I do actually recommend that you skim through this movie. Let me explain: the first movie and this movie are both compilations of Free!: Eternal Summer. Each movie shows different scenes to tell the same story, but you can get most of those scenes by watching the anime, so it's kind of useless to watch the movies. Except for the fact that you're gonna get a few brand new scenes in both movies. The first movie's extra scenes don't really add much to the main storyline; they're just there as Easter eggs. This movie, though, does feature some content that benefits…
