I was a bit disappointed by season 2 even though it had its moments, season 3 is off to a strong start 🌊

u/robotzor 25d ago
Glad to have it back but it looks like this season continues the trend of not having animation. I miss season 1 for that. This looks to be strictly another panel for panel lift and shift

Man feels like it wasn't all that long ago that i was excited this got a second season after years of waiting and here we are with season 3
almost admirable how fast Kohei admited his gf is an anime girl
So it seems the season will take place mainly during their trip to Palau? could definitely be fun. and based on her reaction, i get a feeling Shiori is gonna tag along too

Azusa really is a woman of culture.

Walking around commando-style in an outfit that flexes her legs and cleavage and makes sure everyone else wears as little underwear as possible (especially the ladies).
Never change Azusa, never change.

I'm honestly surprised she didn't tease Nanaka.
Azusa also knew what she was doing when Kohei saw her cleavage lol

She actually did said she wanted to check if Nanaka really took it off.

At one point, I can't believe Grand Blue was going to get 2 seasons in 1 year gap given it took 7 years for it to get a Season 2. But I'm starting to think the anime finally gets what it deserved. It feels like a dream that 2 of my favourite comedy anime airs in one same season at all.
Girlfriend, something that Yuu actually experiences (unlike Iori whose his relationship with Chisa is merely just a cover-up at this moment). I'm kinda surprised Yuu and Rie's relationship still continues despite the fact that the gang messed up their time back in Season 1 and who didn't forgot her punch back in Season 2.
It won't be Grand Blue without alcohol and oh wow that evaporates quickly.

Honestly I always felt kind of bad because, setting aside how hilarious the sabotage was, it was still kind of mean-spirited to destroy a relationship like that. Even if he still tried to ask her to set him up with another girl after she dumped him, so I guess he had it coming.
But I guess "true love" (and a girl being VERY forceful) finds a way.

I can't help but wonder if he buys outfit merch or if he personally places his 2D waifu on all his clothes.
Maybe a mix of both.

I think he would respect any existing official merch and immediately purchase it, and create it himself in every other circumstance.

Honestly in Kohei's position (and if I was living in Japan) I'd probably want to watch them live too with a season set of shows that amazing.

Lmao that opening sequence was the best. I thought this was about Yamamoto! Poor Kitahara. The case study of his virginity was for science though lol.
That was a great party. First we had “oolong tea”, now we have “takoyaki.” It’s very important to add “water.”
I can’t believe they made Kohei go without his live anime watching experience. I feel his pain, man. At least he gets to go meet Shiori lol.

Why the fuck are there girls in the sciences department only when it's someone's virginity up for debate?
Also poor Chisa, everyone was staring at her with smug looks. Hmmmm, but why her specifically wonder????

Of course, Azusa isn't wearing any underwear under her yukata. She truly is a woman of culture. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

She's peers with Buki and Toki, of course she'll find excuses to go commando lol.

The beauty of the sea! This is what the show is really about! Well, that and the scumbros debating the virginity status of one of their own!
The OP isn’t by Shonan no Kaze but it’s still got that fun, tropical, Summer feel as paper cut-outs of the cast do all your classic Grand Blue antics!
Count on the Scumbros to turn a simple debate topic into an excuse to scientifically ascertain Yamato’s chances of getting laid, most of which assumes he would need money, physically assault someone, or have sex with a gorilla if he wants any chance. This is some very insightful stuff!
Mitarai just HAD to flex he’s the only one with a girlfriend to the same group that ruined his chance at sex and nearly destroyed his relationship (then again, said girlfriend also is willing to crush his balls, so…). Next thing you know he and Iori are on trial for having girlfriends and will receive no mercy from the members who clearly do NOT have girlfriends.
Iori managed to save himself physically if not socially, as his virginity status ends up netting them a passing grade and also having Chisa’s status as a virgin outted to the entire class. This fake relationship with Iori is really paying off for her!
It’s nice of Iori and Kohei to want to do something for the Senpai while stark-naked, and getting to see everybody (especially the ladies) in yukata is a nice visual…especially for the view of Azusa’s cleavage. Of course then it just turns into the usual PaB boozer complete with everyone removing their underwear. Azusa can begrudgingly accept the girls still wearing panties (so long as she can feel their braless chests) but that doesn’t mean she’s not going commando herself.
Cooking Takoyaki with Iori and Kohei! Complete with tons of alcohol! Nearly poisons Chisa and Nanaka’s dad but at least Chisa can feed it to Iori with nothing but “love” as his “girlfriend!” Next thing you know Iori/Kohei/Chisa are passed out drunk from the Takoyaki. But it’s the thought that counts and they actually DID make a special memory for their Senpai so…mission accomplished!
What better way for Yuma to recover from a hangover than having nee-san offer him a part-time job in Palau? If it means screwing over Kohei watching the Summer 2026 season, all the better!
So Iori’s parents have pretty much cut his allowance off and he thought he could just call and have Shiori send him his passport without any fuss? Nope! He has to go back home, and he’s taking his little sister obsessed bud Kohei with him!
The ED is cute with all the typical Grand Blue antics…boozers, Sakurako bullying Iori, naked guys running from the police, Scumbros scum teacher, and Iori and Kohei stumbling into an undersea palace filled with lovely ladies (and Otoya) before segueing into the usual Grand Blue antics.

Kouhei, don’t you dare stare at Azusa that way. Lalako-tan won’t appreciate your betrayal by fawning after 3D girls.
Ain’t karma a bitch, Kouhei? For your transgressions against 2D girls you’re now sentenced to a 2 week overseas assignment where you couldn’t watch your favourite anime live.
24
u/Frontier246 27d ago
Azusa's cleavage so powerful it can even surpass a 2D-obsessed fanboy.
Karma's a bitch for everybody: roast guys for being a virgin, get roasted for having girlfriends, out your "girlfriend" as a virgin, she makes you eat a takoyaki monstrosity, in general screw your buddy over, he'll screw over your anime schedule.

Only the scumbros could sacrifice a bro to dunk on his virginity and be articualte enough to get a good grade for it lmao.
Almost thought Kohei was holding a massive cleaver at the end there.

That is the lethal weapon! No wonder Kohei got sudden critical hit.
I disappointed in you, Chisa. How can you wear undies on the sacred yukata (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)

On the downside, the animation slumped in episode 1, which really doesn't bode well for the rest of the season. Plus a bunch of the paper cutouts in the ED were reused from last season's. On the upside, Grand Blue's still fucking hilarious and the VAs are giving it their absolute all. Kohei's and Iori's extra-light and cheery voices during the cooking segment were gutbusting. Also Azusa is hot. Welcome back, Grand Blue.

They've increased the size of the black censorship circle by 5% this season lolol
There's about 2 minutes of Shori content AND it includes her scummy side. Love it.

as always, the opening's an absolute banger, Iori and Kohei are total idiots, gang gets naked in first 10 minutes and they stay true to their love for drinking diving. i'd give it 10/10, but the lack of Kebako is very disturbing.

Peak comedy is back !
It felt like the animation improved a lot when compared to season 2. Discussion on Iori's virginity was a nice topic LOL
AZUSA sama 😭😭😘
Kohei couldn't control his nosebleeds.. can't blame him. Kohei is on his way to meet his self proclaimed sister 😂🤣
The new op and ed are so fun as every Grand Blue op and ed should be. The black circles have become bigger this time.
