Grand Blue Dreaming, the anime adaptation of the manga by Kenji Inoue and Kimitake Yoshioka, is getting a second season.
That news was celebrated with a new piece of key art and a fun illustration by Yoshioka.
Returning are key staff members including director and writer Shinji Takamatsu, character designer and chief animation director Hideoki Kusama and fellow chief animation director Yoichi Ueda. The series will be animated at both Zero-G and Liber.
The cast of season 1 will also return.
The first season of Grand Blue Dreaming aired way back 2018, and was streamed on Amazon Video. Here’s how Kodansha USA describes the first volume of the manga:
After graduating from an all-boys’ high school, Iori Kitahara moves away from home to go to college in a seaside town. He’s eager to start a new chapter in his life—one filled with dreams of reinventing himself, meeting beautiful girls, and reveling in his youth. But when his new abode is his uncle’s dive shop, Iori’s college debut doesn’t turn out as glamorously as he planned! Can Iori keep himself afloat, or will the booze-fueled antics of his university’s diving club wash him away?!
A coming-of-age tale with beer, bums, and the Grand Blue!
