S3 of the Free! franchise aired in the summer of 2018 and Makoharu proved that it still rules as the No. 1 OTP in Japan. I've actually seen other anime copy their "looks" while adding a BL vibe just to draw in viewers. The craziest of the lot is "Dakaichi" -- straight-up yaoi with two main characters that are dead ringers of Makoto and Haru aged-up. The anime itself is mediocre, imo, but it's interesting seeing the "types" played out as an actual anime. The real Makoharu is far better and is my fave slash pairing of the last five years and I hope Kyoani manages to get the final film together for showing by 2021.
