The official website for the Free! anime franchise revealed on Wednesday that the event screening of "Episode 0" of the new television anime series in the franchise is slated for June 23. The limited first pressing of the Free! -Take Your Marks- film's Blu-ray Disc and DVD in Japan will include an application form for priority sales tickets to the event screening.

The episode will not air during the television broadcast of the anime. As with Free! -Take Your Marks- , the Blu-ray Disc and DVD releases of Free! -Timeless Medley- Kizuna and Free! -Timeless Medley- Yakusoku films also included similar application forms for the event when they shipped last October and December, respectively.

The official website will reveal more details about the event screenings at a later date.

The Free! -Timeless Medley- Kizuna compilation film opened last April, and the second compilation film, Free! -Timeless Medley- Yakusoku , opened last July. Free! -Take Your Marks- , a sequel to the compilation films, opened in Japan last October. Funimation has licensed the three films and the High Speed! -Free! Starting Days- film, and will screen Free! -Take Your Marks- in theaters in the United States on March 14.
