Overview

If you've ever wanted to see what Sydney would look like in an anime world, you're in a spot of luck. Redrawn and traced from photos, Central Station, Hyde Park and the Harbour Bridge been rendered with that wondrously glowing anime magic for a new episode of Japanese anime series Free!.

Aired on September 17 for Free! Eternal Summer, Sydney's anime makeover comes from an adorably air-punching storyline. An episode enthusiastically dubbed 'A Swim-Off in a Foreign Land!' sees two of the main characters, Rin and Haruka (besties and athletes in the show's Iwatobi Swimming Club), head to Australia to swim alongside our national team at Sydney Aquatic Centre — as you do. The pair cruise around Sydney meeting up with their homestay parents, chillin' at Bondi and reigniting Haruka's love for dominating the lanes. Go team.

Check it out, Sydney's wearing gorgeous, anime-style pants.
