LIFESIZE POSTER AND ENDING BOOK

LIFESIZE POSTER AND ENDING BOOK (TVアニメFree! 等身大ポスター＆エンディング集 TV Anime Free! Toushindai Posutā & Endingu Shyū) is a color and black & white illustrated poster book of the Free! anime.

Summary
The book comes in five different versions: side Haruka (side遙), side Makoto (side真琴), side Rin (side凛), side Nagisa (side渚), & side Rei (side怜). All were an identical price and contained the same content within the book itself, but differed in the book box and cover as well as the cloth poster that was bundled with the book.

The cloth posters are, as the title implies, lifesize at around 2 metres long and each feature solo art of the character that corresponds with the books version. The solo art was taken from the first season's ending animation, SPLASH FREE, the same as the book boxes front cover illustration.

In keeping with the theme of the poster and book box, the artbook itself features the ending frame by frame showing both the storyboards and the end frames side by side, with the latter in full color. In addition to the storyboards there are also several key frame illustrations showing their progress from black and white, to part color over the course of the animation process.
