What if I told you that the most chaotic, most unhinged, most gloriously stupid college anime ever made is coming back and this time, they’re taking the party international? Yeah. You heard that right. Iori and the gang are leaving Japan, packing their speedos, and heading straight to Palau. And before you ask no, they are NOT going there for the diving. Well… maybe a little. Welcome back to Animes Update, where we keep you locked in on everything anime, and today? Oh, today we are FEASTING.
Before we dive in pun absolutely intended if you’re new here, smash that subscribe button and ring the notification bell. Because the moment you sleep on this channel, we drop something big and you miss it. Don’t be that person.
So let’s set the scene. Grand Blue Dreaming is based on the manga written by Kenji Inoue and illustrated by Kimitake Yoshioka (AniTrendz) — two men who looked at the concept of “college life anime” and said, “You know what this needs? More nakedness, more alcohol, and zero dignity.” And the fans loved every single second of it. The show has been a cult favorite since the first season aired back in 2018 (AniTrendz) , and after years of waiting, suffering, and rewatching the same episodes on repeat, Season 3 is officially locked and loaded.
Now here’s where it gets real. The official website dropped a brand new promotional video that revealed the July 6 debut on Tokyo MX and BS11 at 24:00 JST (Anime News Network) — which, for those keeping score at home, is technically July 7 at midnight. Classic anime math. But we’re not splitting hairs here, because the point is. IT IS COMING. July 6. Mark it. Tattoo it on your arm if you have to.
And speaking of things that slap, let’s talk about the music, because this season is not playing around. The opening theme is called “Natsuko” performed by FUNKY MONKEY BABY’S, while the ending theme “Hadaka no Mermaid” is handled by Beanies from MAMESHiBA NO TAiGUN. (TheCuy) “Natsuko.” “Naked Mermaid.” This show knows exactly what it is and it has ZERO shame about it. Honestly? Respect.
But wait — we’re not done, because the casting news for this season might be the biggest flex yet. Three major new cast members are joining the production: Sayaka Ohara voicing Sayaka Kotegawa, Asami Seto as the Chief of the Palau diving shop Dolphin, and Aya Suzaki stepping in as Maki. (Essential Japan) Sayaka Ohara. If that name doesn’t ring a bell, go look her up right now. The woman is a legend in the industry. Having her join Grand Blue is like hiring a five-star chef to cook instant ramen — it’s still chaotic, but suddenly it hits different.
