If you have been waiting for a wild college anime to brighten up your week, Grand Blue Dreaming Season 2 is finally here and it is just as hilarious and unpredictable as ever. The new season of Grand Blue Dreaming (Guran buru) continues to follow Iori Kitahara and the infamous diving club “Peek a Boo” as they party their way through more booze-fueled, comedy-packed adventures. This season is streaming now on Crunchyroll and has already set the internet buzzing with laughter and memes.
Season 2 Starts with a Bang and New Surprises
After a seven-year wait, Grand Blue Dreaming Season 2 kicked off on July 7, 2025, making a big comeback with the entire original voice cast returning. Iori Kitahara’s college journey resumes right where it left off, mixing diving dreams with pure party madness. Not long after Iori completes his diving course in Okinawa, he finds himself back with his old crew and if you thought the club had calmed down, think again.
One of the freshest twists this season is the arrival of Iori’s younger sister, Shiori, and the introduction of new faces like Sakurako Busujima and Naomi Otoya. The team at Zero-G and Liber animation studios keeps the Grand Blue energy alive, even if some viewers have pointed out that the animation in Season 2 feels a bit rougher around the edges compared to the first season.

Legendary Comedy and Unfiltered Campus Life
The heart of Grand Blue Dreaming is its ridiculous humor, larger-than-life characters, and unpredictable club antics. While the diving club is technically about diving, the reality is much more about wild drinking games, ridiculous pranks, and awkward romance. There’s barely a moment when someone isn’t trying to outdo the others in sheer stupidity.
Season 2 doubles down on what fans love most: group dynamics that feel like real college life, with friendships constantly tested by booze, dares, and increasingly outrageous situations. The latest episodes are packed with laugh-out-loud moments, from the infamous “liquor pouring trick” to everyone’s favorite recurring joke about “water” that’s anything but.
One thing that stands out this season is the meta comedy. With the Japanese voice actors for Iori and Nanaka being real-life siblings, the lines between fiction and reality blur in the best way possible, making some scenes extra hilarious for anyone who is in on the joke.
A Cast That Keeps Getting Wilder and Funnier
This season, the club is joined by more characters, but the real stars are still Iori, Chisa, Kohei, Nanaka, Azusa, and Aina. Nanaka is in full “siscon mode” and Azusa is more unfiltered than ever, always ready to drop a scandalous comment or suggestion. Azusa’s energy and “best girl” status are constantly reaffirmed as she navigates awkward moments with pure confidence.
Chisa and Iori’s relationship gets more attention this season, with fans noticing that the romantic tension is being drawn out in the most comedic way. Nanaka’s over-the-top love for Chisa, Azusa’s hilarious “life advice,” and Aina’s wild party alter-ego all bring their own flavor to the show’s unique chaos.
The “scumbros” of the club are back as well, their antics even more exaggerated, especially when they all try to get their hands on coveted event tickets. This leads to some of the funniest scenes so far, with each character coming up with crazier schemes and sabotaging each other in the name of friendship or lack thereof.
Memorable Moments and Favorite Scenes from Early Episodes
Already, the first four episodes have delivered some instant-classic scenes. Whether it’s Kohei strapping cash to his back as a bribe, Iori’s “titan face,” or Chisa’s never-ending struggle to keep her club from falling into complete depravity, it’s impossible not to laugh.
Nanaka’s pretend-drunk “clingy to Chisa” act has everyone calling her out for being a master at playing innocent, while actually knowing exactly what she’s doing. Azusa’s suggestion to “double-team” Nanaka in a drunken game shocked even longtime viewers, proving she’s still the show’s wildcard.
Another highlight is the synergy between the “Scum Squad” who never fail to sabotage each other, yet somehow always manage to make it through as a group. Iori Kitahara reflects on the power of friendship when he says,
“I’m not asking anything else of you. Just stay by my side.”- Iori Kitahara
Friendship speeches turn into plotting chaos, and serious moments are instantly derailed by the next ridiculous prank.
Episode Reviews Show Fans Are Loving the Return
Across the internet, there’s a mix of laughter and nostalgia as fans welcome back their favorite party animals. The consensus is that while the animation might feel a little less polished this time, the source material’s wild comedy still shines through. The jokes land, the party spirit is stronger than ever, and Azusa’s iconic moments have already inspired fan art and memes.
Some episodes, like the third and fourth, have sparked conversations about club friendships and “who is best girl,” but also about the production quality. Still, even those who have noticed dips in animation agree that the story and characters are so strong, it’s impossible not to enjoy the ride.
Anyone tuning in for slice-of-life should be ready for more of a wild sitcom than a sports anime. As one viewer summed it up: “It’s like an Adam Sandler anime, but in the best way possible.”
Everything You Need to Know About the Production
Season 2 brings back the legendary team of director Shinji Takamatsu and character designer Hideoki Kusama. Music this time is by Yukari Hashimoto. The opening theme, “Seishun Towa,” by Shonan no Kaze and Atarashii Gakko!, instantly sets the tone for the party, while the ending, “Hadaka de Dotsukiai feat. May’n” by SEAMO, leaves viewers smiling after every episode.
Curious about the new faces? Aya Yamane voices Sakurako Busujima, Sumire Morohoshi joins as Shiori Kitahara, and Yoshino Aoyama brings Naomi Otoya to life.
