Six years after the first season aired in 2018, Grand Blue Dreaming is finally coming back for its second season. There is still no official release date yet, but the production team shared a teaser visual to celebrate the announcement.
Grand Blue Dreaming, adapted from the manga by Kenji Inoue and Kimitake Yoshioka, quickly became a fan favorite with its unique blend of diving-themed adventures, alcohol, and outrageous comedy. The story follows Iori Kitahara, a college student whose plans for a normal school life get hilariously derailed when he joins his university’s diving club. After all, the club members do more drinking than diving.
Based on the anime’s official website, the new season is expected to continue where Season 1 left off. Iori would be returning to Izu after completing his diving license training in Okinawa. However, things take a surprising turn when he receives a letter from his younger sister, Shiori, setting the stage for more chaotic and comedic adventures.
According to Crunchyroll, Season 2 will see the return of many familiar faces both behind the scenes and in the voice cast. Shinji Takamatsu, who directed the first season, is back to direct, write, and oversee sound direction for the upcoming season. Furthermore, Season 1’s main cast is also reprising their roles.
To top it all off, the NBCUniversal Anime/Music channel on YouTube is running a free streaming promotion in celebration of the Season 2 production. The channel will be streaming the entirety of the first season from September 29 to October 11.
