Hey Angelle,

since we did in fact all agree on accuracy I copy and pasted all titles directly from the official Free! websites and Funimation's articles on Free!. If you visit these sites you will see that the dash immediately follows the exclamation: due to the nature of exclamation marks on Japanese keyboards, in certain media this may come across as being a space but when you highlight, copy and paste the material (as I have done) it will come out as "Free!-Dive to the Future-"/"Free!-Eternal Summer-". I'm aware of the fact that the posters/logos may not reflect the presence of !/- in the title as stylistic choice, however I've consistently found that from a categorical perspective KyoAni and Funi both keep the original title formating on not only the websites but also the covers of home media releases (along the spine of the DVD/Blu ray). As such, we can make note of the fact that on posters the title may be styled as "Free! Eternal Summer" in the introduction, but the article would retain the "Free!-Eternal Summer-" presentation as it's title, this is again in keeping with how Wikipedia and many other Wikis operate in such cases of conflicting material presentation.

Therefore, since we agreed on following Japanese presentation for accuracy, and this falls under such presentation, I would prefer we keep it as such. The exception being as discussed dropping the tokubetsuban from TYM. The only other media titles featuring kanji are the timeless medley movies, however both the Japanese home media release and the Funi site both present these titles as "Free! -Timeless Medley- the Bond" for kizuna & "Free! -Timeless Medley- the Promise" for yakusoku.

I hope this sounds reasonable to you.
