Grand Blue is back and they bought back the fun and personalities with them.

Glad to see all the familiar cast back. It looks like this anime hasn't lost its touch with its humor and style. We also got some drama and beach fun, with meme potential gags all over the place. Seems everyone's personalities are how they were from the first season even after all these years. Can't wait to see more! Perfect fit for part of the Summer lineup.

About damn time we finally got the GOATs back in action. And nothing says Grand Blue is back like the warning at the start of the episode telling you not to perform these actions in real life... for obvious reasons lmao. And what's this, starting off with them actually diving? Nahhh, I must be watching the wrong show... but nope, what followed just screamed in my face that we are so back. That being, the whole bit with Iori trying to come up with something to tell his sister he's been up to...

...that isn't getting wasted while being naked all day xD

His sister is really no better though, spying on her brother like that and all. I’d go as far as to say she might be reaching Nanaka levels of obsessive lololol. She basically spent the whole episode trying to find something to send her, just one photo. And that was before we went on the biggest side quest ever, with Iori trying to snatch this very special image from Chisa’s hands. I think you can already guess how that ended up. Yup, them getting pinned down, and at the worst possible timing, the number ONE most obsessive sister walks in...

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Though, she surprisingly took it lightly… as in, she’s only letting Iori off the hook if he marries her. Lol. And just when you think it can’t get any worse, here comes yet another obsessive sister to make things even more chaotic. Fun return, as per usual with this show. Will be a fun couple weeks with this one, that's for sure.

Of what felt like forever, and tbh, at one point, something which we’d never get, is finally here. I was hugely looking forward to this, but yeah, I was also kind of expecting this series to look the same.. visually, and yeah, they didn’t fail us in that regard, unfortunately lol. At this point, it’s already a fact that the manga is FAR SUPERIOR than this adaptation, so yeah, it’s better to see both of them with different lenses. I’m just glad we got a second season, that’s all.

I don’t remember much of Iori’s sister in the first season, or if she was there at all, but man, she’s just a menace, isn’t she? To think she already knows about the abnormal lifestyle Iori is living with the gang just proves she isn’t actually “non-tech savvy” lmaoo. So yeah, sending any kind of photos thereafter wouldn’t have changed anything at all. Btw, Iori going to such lengths just to get a glimpse of Azusa and Nanaka’s semi-naked photo just proves that he’s the guy we need as a leader to lead lol. Guy had no embarrassment at all xD

Shiori coming in the end is something we all saw coming from a mile away. I mean ain’t that easy for Iori and Chisa to just get together, right? Great return. I'm just looking forward to Sakurako's eventual anime appearance this season.

The most anticipated sequel of ALL sequels this Summer season, mangaka Keiji Inoue's Grand Blue is FINALLY back after 7 years since Summer 2018!

Shonan no Kaze's 2nd OP feat. Atarashii Gakkou no Leaders is good, but Season 1's OP will ALWAYS be legendary for that matter.


It's been a VERY LONG TIME, but to see Iori Kitahara reminisce the wacky insanity that is Season 1's events alongside Chisa Kotegawa and Azusa Hamaoka, though his sister Shiori sure got the bad notion that all things her brother dabbled into through the letter addressed to her, is down bad lol. And what's worse is that iori has nothing remarkable to say of his life through Season 1, so much that both Chisa and Azusa had to help him out.

Alongside Kohei and Aina, though one picture from his adventures, sure got the attention of both Chisa and Aina, enough for Iori to try snatching it away from her ass no matter what. And try as hard that he WANTS to get his hands on that picture, Chisa knew from the start that has Iori snatching after her, which Nanaka just had to witness lol. And if there's one person who should be out of harm's way, it's the older sister Nanaka, and her threatening of Iori to marry her younger sister (even though Chisa doesn't know what's truly going on), him deciding to let her play along is fine and all...until the lil' sis's arrival.

SEAMO feat. May'n's feat. ED is good, but fine...

The great return of Grand Blue fighting with the siblings, it' going to be one heck of a season for the vibes again.

Iori received a letter from his younger sister, Shiori. Chisa and Nanaka teased Iori by leaking details about his mischievous life so far, lol. Iori tried to write a reply to his worried sister while reminiscing about his college life up to that point, but he didn’t have much to report because he had only been drinking with strong seniors and having fun in a state of undress. Naturally, if he spent time there, his academics became a mess.

While writing the response, Iori recalled memories from the first season. Starting from when Iori joined "Peek a Boo," to struggling with a German exam, to being falsely accused of dating Chisa, and more. Why doesn’t Iori remember the good things, lol? Like the training to obtain his diving license.

Iori's life was secretly monitored by Shiori with a hidden camera. The doll that Chisa was holding had a hidden camera. Aina vividly remembered the incident involving the butt and also discussed the little sister. It was revealed that Shiori was still in the third year of middle school, and I liked Kouhei's reaction upon hearing the fact that Iori had a "little sister."

I was curious about the photo hidden by Chisa and Aina; if I’m not mistaken, it was taken by Azusa? Even after they returned home, Kouhei was still acting like a monster. Iori's first mission was to take a photo of Chisa's butt. I liked Iori's mission of sneaking into the toilet quietly to peek at Chisa, I mean, to take the photo that Chisa had hidden.



I liked Chisa's casual outfit. It was simple yet truly enticing, lol. I enjoyed how Iori sneaked into Chisa's room while she was sleeping. Chisa and Iori fought over the photo. I liked how Iori pushed Chisa, involving them in a mischievous situation. Nanaka, who was watching, couldn't hide her reaction upon seeing Chisa and Iori hugging each other. Did Shiori come to the house???

Nanaka told Iori to marry Chisa???? What???

Legit thought we'd never get a new season for this but 7 years later here we are.

Really nice to have everyone back. Put a smile on my face. Hilarious stuff as usual. In that moment Iori only saw death.

Also someone didn't change.

New OP song is decent, s1 OP theme song is one of the best out there so no competition.

Btw funny thing even after 7 whole years Chisa

7 fucking years since Grand Blue aired, unreal it took that long for a sequel to come but glad it happened. Insane to think I just graduated high school when this aired last lol. This was a very Grand Blue-esque return and felt like how the first season was. I still prefer the manga for this by a lot, but the first season was good fun and this was a very enjoyable premiere too for the second season. Loved the shenanigans with Iori and Chisa this time around, and Shiori obviously baiting her brother with 'not knowing tech' and showing up at the end only would seem to introduce more chaos there. That timing with the 'marriage idea' did not help Iori one bit lol. Kouhei's going to be out of control you can imagine with that next episode.

Only thing was the OP was underwhelming (like a lot of opening songs this season sadly), especially since the one for season 1 was so damn memorable to me.

Can I get a new episode every day instead of every week? I just can't wait!

OP and ED seem to hint that Iori and Kouhei will be closer than ever. This anime truly has something for everyone from every group of audience.

On nice days like this nothing beats diving. Shiori seems to have a much calmer aspect than her bro. Creative way of recapping the first season lol. Iori and Chisa's bond sure is like that of a married couple despite the denials. The quest for the spicy pics though sure changed the dynamic. Demon Nanako is no joke for sure. Shiori sure made quite the entry though. Guess her doll gave her advanced warning. Pretty catchy OP and Ending themes.

GRAND BLUE IS BACK!!!! AFTER SO MANY YEARS!!!!

Surprisingly in this first episode we didn't actually get into drinking. We do have marriage though. The thing is that actually isn't that far out of reach...I mean Nanaka did just give her approval right?



We also got introduced to Iori's little sister who he thinks isn't good with technology and electronics but no far from that she's a pro. Instead of worrying about Nanaka though Iori might need to worry more about kohei.

Ngl this is the perfect thing maybe that I needed since I just finished watching Grave of the Fireflies.

The funniest manga of all finally gets a second season. While the adaptation is not spectacular, the source material is so good that it's fantastic anyway. The voice actors do a great job. This episode also hits different considering the most recent chapters in the manga.


And yup, Chisa does have a rather spectacular ass.

It’s been a long seven years, for God’s sake!

I totally didn’t realise it’s only been three months he’s been there, he got used to it way too fast, lmao. Iori’s stalker sister was hilarious, there’s no way a kid in this day and age isn’t good with their electronics. Nanaka-chan’s imouto-con is something else too, lol. Fact that Chisa-chan doesn’t even realise is downright hilarious.

Kouhei’s imouto-con is right up there in the bad territory just as I remember, lol. Seriously, just when will Iori end up with Chisa-chan? Got to feel for Iori not getting to see that picture though, that’s legit worth dying for…

I’m so glad we’re finally back with more of this! I know it’s early but this better not be the last season we see this.

The biggest one this season no cap. Nothing comes close even this season...

Absolute Peak kino....
One of if not the best comedy anime I watched. And this started out same.

Yandere mouto season😭😭 We got two Yandere sister now lol. Shiori is coming to kill her perverted brother lol..

Kohei remains unbeatable😭😭

Well done Aina with putting weird ideas. But Chisa ass I do think got a upgrade. Damn both of them for hiding that photo.
Idk how Iori isn't killed by Chisa and specially by Nanaka. Even got a marriage offer.
From fake girlfriend to fake? wife my man won himself a upgrade for his pervertness. If now he isn't killed by Shiori or Kohei. Can't wait to see his reaction😭😭.

I don't feel this way usually but man this felt shorter than 22 mins.
We going to eat so good on Mondays this season...
