50% Off but it’s Parts I Quote Often Aloud or Within my Internal Monologue

this shit has been in my head since middle school and thats probably an issue

[@mcowley895]

The contrast between Haru's Haru-ness and his neutral expressions and the contrast between Nagisa's innocent looks and the ridiculously thugish things he says gets me every time.

I can't stop saying the "this reminds me of prison". That is so funny lmao, everything that Nagisa says in 50% off is so funny i love him.

Hi, so I’m way late to the party in that this is my first exposure to Free in general, let alone whatever this is, so my only thoughts are “I understand -50% of this” simultaneously with “this is 100% fucking hilarious”

[@teddy-beargamer6385]

All you need to understand is that Free was very gay (but kind of queerbaity), and that Haru has always had a pool fetish. Other than that, Free was your average sports anime. Everything else has been befuckened in a spectacular fashion, to the point where the original context doesn’t matter.
