Free! and 19 other anime to watch this weekend (July 20-21)

Every weekend this summer has been nothing but great vibes and a chill time. Naturally, we don't want this weekend to be an exception, which is why we've compiled a list of anime that you absolutely should check out this weekend.

This time, our weekend must-watch list is a little different than the rest, as it includes some oldies but goodies. This is because Crunchyroll is updating its AVOD catalog with sports anime that we all know and love. The anime added will only be for a limited time, so we want to make sure you're not missing out on a single thing.

Watch Free! - Iwatobi Swim Club this weekend

The first anime we recommend watching this weekend is Free! - Iwatobi Swim Club!

Free! is about the art of swimming, teaching you all about the different strokes and laps involved in the aquatic sport. However, this anime is also great for depicting the different phases of friendship since it explores how friends can go from being with one another every single day to barely seeing each other. It also shows the beauty of making new friends that you never thought you would ever encounter.

Free! is streaming on Crunchyroll and is available without ads for those who don't have a premium subscription to the anime streaming platform. All the more reason for you to stream this weekend.

But don't let that be the only anime you watch! Here are 18 other sports anime you can watch on Crunchyroll this weekend as a part of the site's newly added titles for its AVOD lineup:

• Blue Lock
• BIRDIE WING -Golf Girls’ Story-
• Backflip!!
• HAIKYU!!
• Hajime No Ippo: The Fighting!
• HANEBADO!
• Harukana Receive
• How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?
• Iwakakeru -Sport Climbing Girls-

• number24
• Ping Pong the animation
• RE-MAIN
• Run with the Wind
• SK8 the Infinity
• The Prince of Tennis
• Tsurune
• WAVE!! -Let's go surfing!!-

Last but not least is Yowamushi Pedal!

Yowamushi Pedal is for all you cyclist lovers out there, as the anime follows the highs and lows that come with the grueling yet fun sport. The anime is filled with so much action and plot twists that it's almost impossible to not watch this title without feeling so much thrill and anticipation about what's going to happen next.
