A larger change can be seen between the [[http://0taku.livedoor.biz/archives/4158679.html original concepts]] of the characters' designs; most notably, Rin had shorter ShounenHair and the accompanying look to him.

* SixthRanger: Rei, though he's an odd case, as according to the cast biography, not only did he recently switch from track to swim team, he's the only person not a part of the original ChildhoodFriends ensemble, and thus likely to have the perspective of an outsider. It's possible that Rin could fill in the role instead, though, as the same biography points out that his former childhood friends feel as if they don't understand him anymore.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Implied by Rin's description in the early release of the character outlines, in which it's pointed out that after he came back from studying abroad, "[[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2013-04-28/kyoani-outlines-free-swim-team-anime-story-characters his personality changed immensely]]" and that he "[[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2013-04-28/kyoani-outlines-free-swim-team-anime-story-characters often perplexes his former teammates]]." Further expounded by the character relation charts, wherein his only connection is through rivalry with Haruka, unlike everyone else who express opinions on everyone else (except him).

Going off the straightforward parts of the information released so far, though if any of it is wrong by the time the series begins airing (i.e. Rin\'s not treated like the \"old friend they no longer understand\" as much as promotional info implies), go ahead and delete or edit when the anime begins.
