Grand Blue Season 2

Where Grand Blue Season 1 was pure fun, Season 2 completely shifts toward the romance side. The problem? Instead of bringing something new, the show mostly recycles the same sexual/ecchi comedy about asses and melons yeah, the same jokes again and again. Grand Blue was famous for wild, over-the-top comedy, but here it feels watered down and repetitive. Like I said, Season 2 is stuck in romance mode. From the first episode to the last, all they do is throw every single girl at our MC, Lori. Some by mistake, some by misunderstanding, and suddenly every girl is chasing or colliding with the MC. It’s not romance, it’s recycled drama disguised as romance. There’s no depth, no actual development, just dumb filler situations designed to drag the story. Watching it feels more like punishment than entertainment. basically S2 is mostly based on OUR MAIN character Lori , almost he got the most of the screen time in the show , every incident is around him . Characters Lori – The supposed MC. Honestly, in Season 2 he doesn’t even feel like the main character. He’s just treated like a punching bag. Every female character either abuses him or makes him look like trash, all in the name of “comedy.” His character is not fun anymore—it’s pathetic. Other characters (Chisa, Aina, Kouhei, etc.) – Their role this time is basically just to support Lori. Nothing new, nothing exciting. we also have some new characters in S2 (Sakurako) – Easily the most annoying addition. She’s a tsundere, but instead of being interesting, she’s just a straight-up bitch. Honestly, she should sacrifice herself to Truck-kun and save the audience the pain. The gay character – His presence or absence makes zero difference. He exists, that’s it. Overall Grand Blue Season 2 is all about stupid lazy repetitive romance comdey, The humor is stale, the story is boring, and the characters feel wasted.

The most damning thing I can say is that the ED is funnier than the rest of the show. Or in other words the first season could pretty consistently make me laugh, while the second season couldn't. It seems silly to reduce humor to a formula, but comparing the two seasons, the first one had more of the ridiculous, almost Attack on Titan-like distorted faces for comedic effect and had more jokes based on the premise of this being a normal college where a bunch of ridiculous shit happens. This season doesn't have those faces and focuses more on the relationships between the characters which weren't ever really strong or well-defined when they're really all drinking buddies. The first season had more fun with that than this season has with so many episodes being variations of Iori having to hide whether he's actually dating a girl or not. I guess this is more of a hang-out, but that sounds like apologetics for the lack of jokes.

I've always had a soft spot for Grand Blue. It demonstrates the principle of having a fun group of characters enjoying their lives in a sitcom-like format of storytelling. After so many years, it's fitting this anime returns in the Summer season, a season so well suited for this show orchestrated by its colorful and over-eccentic cast. Iori Kitahara's return creates the same atmospheric energy of the previous season. We're not left out from one bit of this anime's crazy antics, courtsey of the Peek-a-Boo club. You remember them don't you? It's a collection of college guys and girls gathered together to enjoy life of drinking and partying than diving. It's the foundation of this anime's loose plot, where every episode shows the life style of open minded college students. Forget school and academics, this anime ditches the classroom doors and goes straight into the adult world. There's a reason this anime revolves around college age characters than teenagers. It had to abide by the age limit so it artificially boosts the characters' ages. It works because drinking and partying tends to happen far more frequently during the early stages of adult life. Practically every character in this anime has a love for drinking in some way or form. Even when it's used to serve as a distraction, drinking is considered the common norm where it would feel unusual if a character didn't drink. This also extends the fan service because all the characters are well-built. The male characters have lean and muscular bodies while the female cast are well-endowed with athletic looks. Don't believe me? Just watch the OP song and see you for yourself. It's up there as a candidate for the most fan servicy OP song of this season. Still, this season does love itself for creating misunderstandings and giving characters chances to be themselves. Some of them are tested in games while others are paired up through certain circumstances. Chisa seems to be the main culprit whenever she gets involved with Iori. The whole season has them flirtnig with idea of them getting together, although it's not depicted as romance. It's more of a crowd pleaser and baiting to see who can really make the first move. Fans should know this anime loves having fun with itself than creating tearjerking or dramatic moments between character pairs. Some characters in fact have too much fun and power to themselves. An example is Sakurako Busujima, a new character who has developed a bizarre relationship with Iori. Throughout the series, he is her primary target for bullying, although it's mostly deconstructed with light humor. She serves somewhat as a somewhat rival compared to Chisa, the ever serious and level headed girl of the Peek-a-Boo club. Watching their character rivalry draws out Chisa's insecure side where she unintentionally says things she wasn't prepared for. Her presence is felt throughout this season and she can be designated as a breakout character. The rest of the cast aren't much different after all these years. Kouhei returns with his love for girls and anime. Aina is still the same shy person who holds feelings towards Iori. Others such as Nanaka and Azusa plays their roles to serve as more mature characters for the club. It's really the cast that reminds us what being an adult is about in this show, even if not all of them are responsible. Perhaps that's an understatement. Hardly any of them are responsible and often gets sucked into the ectasy of their own personal interests. I mean, ask yourself, how many times has Kohei tried to get a girlfriend? Or Iori trying to hit on girls? These young adults behave like how you'd expect them to in this social age, where life opens to unlimited opportunities. Grand Blue Season 2 takes those opportunities and have way too much fun with them.

The overall vibe of Grand Blue Season 2 shifts drastically from the pure, absurd chaos of the first season into generic, formulaic slapstick comedy. The pacing this time around feels incredibly sluggish, completely stripping away the element of surprise that made the original run so good. While Season 1 consistently delivered creative, insane jokes that landed in entirely unexpected ways, Season 2 relies heavily on a repetitive loop. Character A says something stupid, Character B throws a predictable comeback, and the show essentially nudges the audience, asking, "Haha, that was funny, right? Now laugh." To dive deeper into the pacing issues, the comedic timing of this season feels frustratingly mechanical. It behaves almost like a routine of counting 1... 2... 3... right before delivering a punchline that falls entirely flat. It honestly feels like this season was directed by people who have no real grasp of how crucial the element of surprise is to comedic delivery. Because of this, there is no longer any weight to anything the characters do, and actions no longer have any real consequences. You never get that genuine "wtf" feeling from an unexpected twist because those moments simply do not exist anymore. It was a highly disappointing sequel. You can easily gauge the drop in quality by the distinct lack of memes coming out of this season. There is simply nothing new, inventive, or genuinely interesting on offer.

A Youtuber i follow talked about this anime at the start of the season. Until then i didn't have watched the first season yet, so I watched the first season just before watching the second. That's why this is a "Mixed Feelings" review. This show is good, it's a lot of fun, but the first season was so increadibly over the top that this second season feels like a downgrade. We get the same cast of characters and a few more and each one is quite unique and interesting. I never thought i would like a character like Naomi Otoya, but the situations and confusions involving him were so fun that I couldn't help but enjoy his screen time. The romance between Iori and Chisa is still going nowhere but that's fine, their bickering is still a source of good comedy. It's hard to tell exactly why this season was worse than the first, because it does has the same felling overall. Maybe it's the character desing that looks more generic, maybe the direction couldn't get the most out of the jokes, maybe it's both or neither of these things. But at the end of the day it's still a good anime. If you watched the first season long ago, don't worry, just watch it. If, like me, you just got out of first season, maybe give it a few months and lower your expectations a little.

This is definitely one of the shows of all time. I wasn't a huge fan of the first season, but heck I liked it enough after giving it another shot. 6/10 This is mild step down from that. Half because most the show is just cycling through people to be in love with Iori more. I don't mind it too much as a huge romance fan, but the execution of it all is pretty bad. Basically relying on misunderstandings to fuel the plot forward. Like every single time. Every. time. Like half the cast is just conveniently not getting the picture. It's tiresome and instead of resolving anything it moves on. It's a shame because some of the characters are good. The foundation for something great is there, but it just can't execute on that to make something good. Seems like the likely end game ship is gonna be the worst one too. The saving grace for the show(outside the few great side characters) is mainly it can be pretty funny at times, but even that seemed lacking some this season. It's just so predictable most the time like it's not even trying. It manages to hit here and there still, but just barely. The show was always overrated, but at least it was decent. Feels like we're even losing that now as we fall into uninspired, predictable tropes.

This is a funny show, with decent art and animations. Comedy often centered around gag humor and over the top facial expressions. Kind of reminded me of GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka). This show could also appeal to diving enthusiasts. Now season one, I felt had excessive nudity and drinking. Characters were too much shameless. I couldnt relate to it as they had too different culture. In season two they toned down the degeneracy. That is less nudity and less drinking. Season two had a better storytelling. It is better than season 1. Finally I liked both the OP and ED songs. Show had a decent soundtrack. My Rating: 7/10 (Good)

The comedy in the second season is much less intense than in the first. It's not that it's no longer funny, but it's certainly less so. Perhaps they created this season to deepen the characters. I think this season is more personal than the first. But I still laughed out loud at every joke. In terms of animation, not much has changed from the previous season. It's still good, and I hope the next season maintains this consistency. The new characters introduced in this season are quite fresh, which makes the comedic situations even funnier. This is a series I highly recommend to fans of the comedy genre because the comedy is genuinely funny.

I laughed in every episode, lol. It surprised me a lot! My 8 rating isn't because of a complex plot or impeccable animation; what I mean is that, even though it's an anime with a simple idea, it manages to execute that simplicity very competently, making the entire season extremely fun to watch. It's the kind of work that doesn't try to reinvent anything, but delivers everything it promises—and that, for me, is already a huge merit. The animation: it's really not the most fluid in the world (because it doesn't need to be), but it does a good job in the more action-packed scenes, especially when the action demands something a little more dynamic. Added to that is the unique design of the comedic moments, where the style changes completely and gives that feeling of intentional exaggeration that only makes everything even funnier. That's precisely why I praise the animation: it knows exactly what its role is. It doesn't try to be something grandiose, but it fulfills its function of enhancing the humor and making each joke more impactful very well. Story: Leaving aside the comedy, the romance and the more serious passages of the work are surprisingly well-constructed. There are reflections there that really resonate, phrases that keep echoing long after the episode ends. One example is Iori's line that really stuck with me: "He's disgusting, but he's also amazing. Someone who loves something so much that, even though the people around him call him disgusting, it's something he loves so much that he simply doesn't care what they say." This type of phrase, which mixes humor with a profound truth about passion and authenticity, greatly enriches the work. Furthermore, the romance is handled so openly that it truly feels like the protagonist could end up with any of the suitors—or even alone—and it would still all make sense within the context of what has been built. It's not that obvious story that reveals the main couple in the first episode; everything is conducted naturally. The comedy: Although it's a narrative device present throughout, I wanted to separate this topic because it's definitely the high point of the work. There wasn't a single episode where I didn't laugh. Seriously, the humor here is really good. I started watching without expecting anything at all, thinking it would just be another silly anime, but the comedic moments were so well done, so well integrated, that the lowest score I can give it is an 8. I can perfectly understand why this season has such a high rating (8.50). The jokes are very varied: there are dirty jokes, sexual jokes, nerd jokes, jokes involving drinking, absurd jokes… in short, they really joke about everything. And Iori and Kouhei's facial expressions are simply a spectacle in themselves. The combination of these two idiots generates some of the most striking and memorable moments of the season. I conclude that, for the genre to which the work proposes, it is excellent. Whether in comedy or drama, everything is very well done and delivered consistently. An 8 is a minimum score, honestly, for what this season provides. That being said, my final score is a solid 8. #Fully_supported_by_team_Iori+Chisa =================================================================================================================Versão em Português===================================== Fiquei rindo em todos os episódios kkk. Me surpreendeu muito! A minha nota 8 não é por causa de uma trama complexa ou de uma animação impecável; o que quero dizer é que, mesmo sendo um anime com uma ideia simples, ele consegue executar essa simplicidade de um jeito muito competente, o que deixa a temporada inteira extremamente divertida de acompanhar. É aquela obra que não tenta reinventar nada, mas entrega tudo o que promete — e isso, pra mim, já é um mérito enorme. A animação: ela realmente não é a mais fluida do mundo (até porque nem precisa ser), mas faz um bom trabalho nas cenas mais movimentadas, especialmente quando a ação exige algo um pouco mais dinâmico. Somado a isso temos o design único dos momentos de comédia, onde o estilo muda completamente e dá aquela sensação de exagero proposital que só deixa tudo ainda mais engraçado. É justamente por isso que elogio a animação: ela sabe exatamente qual é o seu papel. Não tenta ser algo grandioso, mas cumpre muito bem a função de potencializar o humor e tornar cada piada mais impactante. História: sem considerar a parte da comédia, o romance e as passagens mais sérias da obra são surpreendentemente bem construídos. Há reflexões ali que realmente pegam, frases que ficam ecoando depois que o episódio termina. Um exemplo é a frase do Iori que ficou muito marcado pra mim: “Ele é nojento, mas também é incrível. Alguém gostar tanto de algo que, por mais que as pessoas ao redor chamem ele de nojento, isso é algo que ele ama tanto que simplesmente não se importa com o que falem.” Esse tipo de frase, que mistura humor com uma verdade profunda sobre paixão e autenticidade, enriquece muito a obra. Além disso, o romance é trabalhado de forma tão aberta que realmente dá a sensação de que o protagonista pode terminar com qualquer uma das pretendentes — ou até mesmo sozinho — e, ainda assim, tudo faria sentido dentro do que foi construído. Não é aquela história óbvia que entrega o par principal no primeiro episódio; tudo é conduzido com naturalidade. A comédia: apesar de ser um recurso narrativo presente o tempo todo, quis separar esse tópico porque é definitivamente o ponto mais alto da obra. Não teve um único episódio em que eu não desse risada. Sério, o humor aqui é muito bom. Comecei a assistir sem esperar absolutamente nada, achando que seria só mais um anime de zoeira, mas os momentos cômicos foram tão bem feitos, tão bem encaixados, que a nota mínima que consigo dar é um 8. Consigo entender perfeitamente o motivo de essa temporada ter uma avaliação tão alta (8.50). As piadas são bem variadas: tem piada suja, piada sexual, piada nerd, piada envolvendo bebida, piada de absurdo… enfim, eles realmente brincam com tudo. E as caretas do Iori e do Kouhei são simplesmente um espetáculo à parte. A combinação desses dois idiotas gera alguns dos momentos mais marcantes e memoráveis da temporada. Concluo que, para o gênero ao qual a obra se propõe, ela é excelente. Seja na comédia ou no drama, tudo é muito bem trabalhado e entregue com consistência. Um 8 é uma nota mínima, honestamente, para o que essa temporada proporciona. Dito isso, minha nota final é um belo 8. #Fechadão_com_o_time_Iori+Chisa

Grand Blue is my favorite series, I love both the manga and the anime. So I cannot say that I'm not biased in my review. The genius lies in how this series constructs an entire ecosystem of dysfunctional relationships that somehow feel more authentic than 90% of "serious" series out there. The characters are developing with a really good tempo; the romance, even if it's part of its sub-categories, feels very mature and natural. I can say that the author is blessed with some good writing skills on very different genres. I also like its portray of adulthood as well, the characters are open-minded, I would say often logical in their way of approaching human relations. You can observe that communication is actually possible between them; no unnecessary blushing or running off in the middle of a conversation. Things happen as they should be, not because the plot has to progress. The comedy is absurd and decorated with references, misunderstandings are really creative and barely predictable, I love that none of those have changed in this season as well. Looking forward for season 3 and hopefully for more seasons ahead...

I had watchd konosuba and amny more of the comedy anime which i cant count but in my heart the funniest i had ever laughed are my favourite top two Grand blue and Konosuba. when there was no season 2 for the grand blue i thought to myself what enjoying with your friends is in the college as i am in. This make me think and relate to this anime very much goofing around, playing pranks, and the one thing which the kitahara said and i loved it "I LIKE AND RESPECT INDIVIDUALITY" that hits hard because whatever the friend does and loves it doesnt make a difference to us because we respect them. I had given this anime a solid 10/10 because in my heart watching these anime will make you question your life, where you had enjoyed like they did.

This anime might be the funniest I've ever seen. It's so, so funny. I hope my best ship becomes canon in the next season and I can enjoy the anime even more. (Yesss, I'm already so excited for the third season!) This anime is also very fun for people who love swimming. But even if you don't like swimming, you'll definitely enjoy watching this anime.I haven't read the manga at all, and I still won't, because I'm so, so curious about it. The opening music can only be changed. The first season's opening was epic. It can't be that good again, but still, it could be a little better.

Grand Blue – Season 2 Entertaining as hell and insanely fun. It genuinely hurts when the season ends—but at least Season 3 is already scheduled, so thank god for that. This anime is pure chaos, laughter, and good vibes. Season 1 relied heavily on naked jokes, and I honestly expected more of the same here. But Season 2 toned that down and instead brought in fresher characters and even funnier moments, which worked really well. Plot Honestly, it’s the same old fun. There isn’t much of a plot change this season, but I’m not complaining—Grand Blue never promises a deep story. It promises madness and laughter, and it delivers that 100%. Characters New characters were introduced and never felt out of place. They blended naturally with the existing cast and added more chaos in the best way possible. Recommendation Highly recommended for all comedy-loving anime fans. This one should not be missed.

Grand Blue Season 2 brings back the signature chaos of Iori and friends with a full package of alcohol, immoral jokes, and the absurdity of student life that is hard to find in other anime. The atmosphere remains familiar: a mix of slice of life, extreme comedy, and significant character development. From the beginning of the episode, it feels like returning to the same world that made me fall in love with Season 1 during Covid-19. However, while still highly entertaining, I feel Season 2 fails to match the comedic explosion offered by Season 1. There are many funny moments, but not many that truly “stick” and make me laugh out loud like before. Some punchlines feel tamer, and the comedic pacing is sometimes not as tight as the previous season. As a result, the laughs are still there, but they don't reach the “crazy” level that made Grand Blue feel truly special. In terms of comedy writing, Season 1 had many iconic scenes that are hard to forget, while Season 2 more often elicits smiles, light laughter, and also drama and character development. Some sketches still work well, especially when the entire cast gathers in one room and the chaos begins. However, the legendary scenes with Tokita, Kotobuki, Azusa, and the diving club members have decreased. It’s not that they’re bad; it’s just that the standard set by Season 1 was incredibly high. One of the things I noticed most was the difference in voice acting. In Season 1, the voice actors' performances in delivering comedic dialogue and emotional outbursts felt much stronger, more memorable, and perfectly suited to elicit laughter. The desperate screams, exaggerated reactions, and extreme tone shifts truly brought the script to life and made the jokes explode. In Season 2, the quality is still good, but the intensity and emotional “punch” don't always reach the same level. Even for the dramatic scenes, Season 1 tends to leave a deeper impression. The combination of quiet moments, character reflections, and sudden transitions to crazy comedy feels smoother in the first season. In Season 2, some of the dramatic moments are still touching, but they don't often stick in your memory after the episode ends. This makes the viewing experience enjoyable, but it leaves less of a strong emotional mark. Even so, Grand Blue is still Grand Blue. The dynamics are still unique, the characters remain charismatic in their own flawed ways, and the “silly but warm friendship” vibe is still the main attraction. For me, this series still stands above many other comedy anime that tend to play it safe. Even when it's not at its peak performance, Grand Blue still has a very strong identity. Overall, I still give Grand Blue Season 2 a 9/10. It's a “great” season, very enjoyable to watch, and remains one of the best comedies in my catalog. However, if Season 1 was a “masterpiece” in terms of comedy and timing, then Season 2 feels more like a solid continuation but not quite able to replicate the same magic. If you enjoyed Season 1, Season 2 is almost certainly still worth watching and enjoying. Don't expect the same level of brilliance, but be prepared to return to this chaotic, uncivilized, yet somehow warm world. Ultimately, Grand Blue Season 2 may not be perfect, but it's still strong enough to remind us: few anime can replace the unique chaos of this series.

Seven years have past since the first season, and for me, the first season was a masterpiece, an anime I rewatched almost every year. It truly has a special place in my heart when it comes to animes. So I had pretty high expectations from the new season, and I wasn't disappointed. First, the comedy, the soul of this anime. It is still on top, I conestantly found myself grinning and laughing at every episode, just like the first season. The jokes are great, they don't feel forced, and they kinda evoke the first season when it comes to quality. If the comedy is the soul, the artstyle must be the heart of this anime, as the strange faces are the pillars of some of the humour. It changed a little, and I must admit that the first season had it better, but it still has the iconic Grand Blue style. The story. Yes, there was more focus on romance in this season than the previous one, but it works well. The new situations give different joke options, but the show also keeps the same formulas from the first season that made most fall in love with this anime. The storytelling and the pace is also great. Overall, the show was great, and it definetly worth watching, especially if someone likes comedy, or saw the first season.

Tone shifted towards romance In my opinion there is a major shift in main tone of anime , from comedy to romance . I am not complaining , it's a good initative to make story more engaging and funny . From start to finish, it keeps you hooked with its perfect blend of hilarious humor, an engaging and thrilling story, and unforgettable characters. The comedy feels natural and genuinely funny, without ever feeling forced, and the story is much deeper and more exciting than you'd expect at first glance. The thing which i didn't like is repetative jokes regarding @asses and melons . It's good to a certain point but makes whole experience weird due to excessive use of insult comedy trope for some watchers . Hoping to see more romantic development in next season .

Grand Blue Dreaming, the 2nd (long-awaited) Summer — IT'S SUMMER BACK AGAIN, BABY! Now where's my non-inflammable "water" vodka to kickstart a long-lost parade? When it comes to comedy works, very few series stand the test of time depending on their execution from start to finish, and it's not always every time that you'll feel the same thing, especially when it comes to anime adaptations and their limited runtime to segregate the most important content to adapt from their source material and make that time work for anime-onlies who are (at best) experiencing it for the very first time. And there was a time when the above statement turned out to be true, and AniManga fans in pre-COVID times can attest to this trend: the year of 2018, when shows like mangaka Masao Ohtake's Hinamatsuri in spring and mangaka Rin Suzukawa's Asobi Asobase: Workshop of Fun in summer, absolutely ruled the year when it comes to the divisive "comedy is subjective" genre. Of course, how could we forget the maestro who started it all: mangaka Kenji Inoue, famous for his fantasy comedy series Baka to Test (which received Silver Link's anime adaptations from 2010 to 2011) and his magnum opus to date, Grand Blue Dreaming (or simply called Grand Blue), arriving in Summer 2018 and absolutely bursting the comedy scene with even more colour. And 7 summers later, we're so finally back at the comedy maestro that's consistently filled with never-ending gag jokes, the iconic (not) water-flammable vodka, and most importantly, the diving adventures. With Season 2 continuing where the anime left off at Volume 7 of the manga, the series' antics are just as you'd expect if you're old enough to remember how the premiere season looked back then. It's a never-ending sea of bad jokes and misunderstandings that compounds and confounds Iori Kitahara and the Peek-A-Boo diving club with the rowdy troupe and mainstays, and I don't know how, but Kenji Inoue just keeps reinventing the comedy formula for the better as it progresses, not just dumbing down tenfold on its absurd comedy but also integrating the story elements as well when it needs to be focused on. That is what makes Season 1 so iconic throughout all these years, and Season 2 is pretty much more of the same. Not to be outdone, with Season 2 featuring new characters, who are just as quirky as they come to "harass" the patrons at Grand Blue, life just got more "living in hell" for the ones who try to "make right" everything, only to get literally screwdriver-ed. Of course, the butt of the joke isIori himself, whosesister takes centre stage trying to know the shit that he's done during Season 1, as well as meeting the fair few new peeps with the tomboy-looking guy Naomi Otoya and the beachy-bastard gal Sakurako Busujima that the main guy himself has to contend with, much less against Kohei Imamura and the troupe of guy friends that always wants to be popular by hitching girls, being constantly jealous that the girls are swooning over him for some reason. Still, even with new and returning characters, Grand Blue will always remain Grand Blue: balls-off-the-wazoo comedic banter that constantly rubs in your face for laughs, and a heartfelt story of diving that everyone intermingles with one another despite their differences. With Liber joining Studio Zero-G for Season 2, it doesn't really necessarily add anything of value to the overall production, as was the case with the previous attempt of the co-production collab with Winter 2023's Koori Zokusei Danshi to Cool na Douryou Joshi, a.k.a. The Ice Guy and the Cool Girl. If anything (and going by speculation), it's more of a coaching session than anything for the small studio to get more experience partnering with an experienced studio and working together for a time before it can break out to do its own thing...which begs the question: the studio's remake rendition of Bartender: Glass of God last spring easily does the animation production job simply enough, so what gives? With music composer Yukari Hashimoto replacing Manual of Errors for Season 2, the veteran maestro herself proves more than enough weight to give the sequel its own specialized glow-up in the music department, even if it means that much of what made Season 1 great needs minimal change at best. The OST still is great, even if Shonan no Kaze's 2nd OP featuring Atarashii Gakkou! is a bit of a tough pill to swallow given Season 1's iconic OP that's insanely tough to beat, alongside hip-hop artist SEAMO featuring May'n's ED, which is just fine, but skippable. It's fair to say that Kenji Inoue knows what the heck he is doing with Grand Blue, and the inherent nonchalant energy that it gives by selling its surreal and unhinged comedy is just simply unchallenged at best. And with Season 3 already announced (no thanks to the leaks from the start), I'm hoping that we need not have to wait for yet another long duration to come back home to comedy greatness. "I'm drunk already from drinking all that 'water'...so where's that Spritzer!?"

Grand blue season 2 is as good as season 1 for me. I have great time watching this season, found it very funny and enjoyable. They add a few, maybe just one, charachters that are interesting and add more stupid jokes that makes me laught a lot. They Animation is good for a comedy anime and the story(obvious is not the focus) is with diversity of things happenning, the part of girls college was great, the camping in a desert island was good too(although I do think that could have One more episode on the island and they add a few more drama in this season, which dont makes lot difference but is good. For me its a good season 2, obvious is a stupid anime, the jokes can be bad but can make you have a great time, is not for everyone but if is for you, you Will have lot of fun.

Recently, the comedy genre has seen a drastic decline in both the number of anime and the quality of the content. Even in the great action shounen, comedy has been replaced by drama, with plots becoming increasingly less lighthearted, always addressing a heavier theme during a specific arc. In truth, it seems that comedy has been reduced to a mere element in a story whose focus is on the complexity of the action scenes and the characters' struggles as they deal with their inner pain. However, amid this "dark era" of manga, a great bastion of Japanese comedy from the 2010s has practically risen from the ashes. I've heard about Grand Blue Dreaming for a long time; after all, it's on practically every list of the best comedy anime. Not only that, but Grand Blue Dreaming has consistently ranked among the highest-rated anime and manga on various rating aggregator sites, such as MyAnimeList and AniList. So when its long-awaited sequel was announced, I found a good reason to finally watch it, and with that, I can say right now: Grand Blue Dreaming Season 2 is not only the best comedy anime I've seen in years, but so far, it's the best anime of the year for me. In Grand Blue Dreaming, we follow Iori Kitahara as he moves to Izu to start college and lives above his uncle's diving shop, *Grand Blue*. Dreaming of the perfect college life, he gets caught up in the diving club's alcohol-fueled parties, encouraged by seniors Shinji and Ryuujirou. Reluctantly, he joins the group, but his cousin Chisa catches him in one of these embarrassing situations and begins to despise him. For those who watched the first season of Grand Blue, you know how difficult it is to talk about the events of the anime. Even harder is trying to talk about the context in which they occur. But with a little effort, you'll notice a structure of small humorous events, triggered both by the idiocy of the characters involved and by a series of misunderstandings that accumulate as the episodes progress. And because the characters have very well-defined personalities, the plot manages to create good anticipation in the audience about how they will react to the situations they provoke. While in the first season I thought the story started off very well and declined in quality over time, here in the second season it managed to maintain a high level of quality throughout the episodes. At no point did I feel the plot become monotonous; quite the opposite, because by leaving aside some narrative stereotypes that were exhaustively addressed in the first season—and which were the worst part of it, in my opinion—the second season was a great refresher both for those who have lost patience with poorly applied Japanese clichés and for those who want to see a progression in the relationship between the characters. In short, the characters are still idiots, but they're good-hearted idiots. As I mentioned earlier, the main thing that makes Grand Blue exceptional is the writer's skill in placing the characters in situations generated by previous misunderstandings. The events that unfold scene after ... Even some conflicts that are typically drawn out or even never resolved in other anime to keep the audience captivated are resolved here in a very satisfying and, surprisingly, even natural way—considering, of course, all the absurdities that came before. In short, Grand Blue Dreaming Season 2 is everything you'd expect from a good comedy anime with a classic structure: silly yet endearing characters, absurd situations that are impossible to predict, and a good development in the relationships between the characters, which makes everything even more entertaining. If you want to watch a good anime and have a good laugh, this might be a good choice for a weekend.
