| Ah man loved this episode so much! So happy for Kohei!! |
| The best girl appeared. Hair colour threw me off. Somehow I was expecting her to have brown hair but the side bun is there. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Seeing Iori and the guys being wacky and ambitious with their attempts to get back into the woman's uni and failing every time was hilarious. They should thank their lucky stars Azusa happened to arrive at the right time to save their hides and getting them back in. Sakurako seems to be a character to keep an eye on. She, along with her friends, look beautiful, but their true colours showed when they showed disgust over Kohei's love for anime and gaming, but Sakurako in particular went one step too far when she snatched his ticket for the concert without him knowing. Iori and the guys might take the piss out of Kohei a lot, but seeing them defend Kohei while Iori dumped beer on Sakurako's head was an awesome moment. Thankfully things did work out for Kohei. He did get into the concert, albeit at the back of the crowd, but his passionate dancing did get noticed by the voice actress performer and he got a signed autograph from her via her sister. I couldn't be more happier for him! =) |
| Aye, one of those moments I was waiting to see animated. |
 |
| I’ve got to hand it to the first quarter of the episode, I was laughing all the way through, haha. That aside, maximum satisfaction from the way Iori drenched the pink-haired tart with his glass's beer. You’ve gotta love it when arrogant, cocky tarts, so pushy they can’t take no for an answer, get dang humbled. |
| The girls are wicked, protect your otaku friend! |
 |
| This was one of my favourite chapters in the manga and really cemented how much I liked Iori as a protagonist. That god damned Sakurako. It's still such a shame how low budget the animation is. |
| these two bros hard carried this show in S1, and then there's this episode which cemented it |

The biggest bitch of grand blue that is Sakurako is finally here and as bitchy as ever. Iori did us proud for standing up for his friend. |

| Kouhei seems to be the happiest man in the world. At his place I would be in heaven too. |
| Bro before hoes, hell yeah! And hoes is right coz they just dodged three ICBMs right there. |
 |
| So funny. But spilling beer on Sakurako was unexpected. Kitahara shouldn't have don't that. They should have gone to beach with those 3 girls. It would be so damn good. |

Fuck that pink haired girl. She is popular character but I don't think I will ever able to like her after what she did to my man Kohei. Hoping for the worst to happen to herπ
It was so gratifying to see Iori show her the place. For once scums acted like actual friends. Even after shaming Kohei all time they stood up for him, "Hoes before bros" done so beautifully here.
Kohei deserved after working his ass off but atleast he got something. Kaya recognised his passion and also Iori's support towards him. Unexpectedly sweet moment between these two.

| @WaterMage It's "bros before hoes" they did in the end. By the way Sakurako is hot, she just needs to learn how boys friendship works. She ain't bad. I already like her. And also the girl with the brown hair with her as well. |

| @Laplace_kun Yes Kitahara and Kohei carried the season 1 But couldn't have done without the girls, especially Nanaka, Chisa and Azusa. They are soul of Grand Blue. |

| That's a great episode on the true friendship relationship, I really love it!!! |
 |
| I was really hoping that we would move on from his "friends" but then I saw the preview for the next episode... ffs... |
| Damn... this episode was special. Even tho we call him 'Gross', he's our friend. My brothers once again won my heart. Everyone is so sweet. Iori and his bros looking out for Kouhei was genuinely so sweet. I teared up when they did that. It was beautiful. I love them all. Hope to have a friendship like that in life one day. |
 |
Awww the boys defended him πππ They might trashtalk and fight each other, but no one but them can do it! |
"Signature removed"   |
| Despite all the antics at the beginning it was actually quite a wholesome episode, we don't normally see that serious side from those guys but it was nice what Iori did for Kouhei, it really showed what their friendship is like. |
 |
| Course the festival wouldn't end at just that.. we're barging our way in every possible method. Uh.. yeah π how does acting like a grade schooler with that build work. These guys don't know what they're doing. W to Azusa, the eternal life saver whenever he's in a near irredeemable pinch. Azusa is the goat of goats. Imamura is powered by Otaku spirit π«‘ this is his domain. W for him, although any girl that hangs with him for more than a second outside that would know. The fact they leech off his popularity for girls π Welp, he did his part. Normie girls don't comprehend the importance of that concert. Screw the girls spitting on his likes. Devious. W for the brief second of twintail idol. And W for eventually standing up for their bro. Glad Imamura got a little something extra after his dedication. |

| Yelp, the fight of Iori and the gang vs. the college security, they are persistent enough to piss them off, but it's their own internal strife that always decide their fate altogether lol. This is extremely bad news to Iori, even more with the coincidental meet with Azusa to plea with her to help him out, which ended up exchanging entry for even more work. This in fact, is a plus point to Kohei being serious for once, which attracts the girls more, though the guys sure want to skip all of the pleasantries and hit on girls all the same. On the other hand, Kohei wanting to attend the concert, has to abide by Iori and the gang hitting on girls...except that the same group of girls only have their interest in him, and nothing else, forcing him out of his interests, as is with the Kaya Mizuki concert. With Kohei gone, the three ladies with Sakurako at the helm, assert their dominance to Iori and the gang with quite the appeal, though stealing his ticket with the sleight hand pisses the guys (espeically Iori) off. At least they did something good, and it ended up being a blessing to Kohei too to assert his interests as well. In the end, Kaya Mizuki beng close to Nanaka and Azusa, Kohei couldn't really have asked for such a coincidental meet. Bros before hoes, Iori also complementing Kohei on his loves, these two are true bros. |

| So far way better than previous season to my surprise :D About that ticket.. I thought he gonna run to return it? |

γ£ γγΉ (´ο½‘βͺωβͺｑο½) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| Big number of fails to get back in. Hilarious! It's great that they put those girls in their place (Especially the one with the pink hair) This anime doesn't usually have those kinds of moments and it's interesting to watch them every now and then. Also the end of the episode. |

| I can't really remember but I'm pretty sure I cried when I read all of this in the manga, at the very least I teared up which now happened watching the anime version of these events. ABSOLUTE PEAK!!!! And this is NOTHING compared to all what is to come in future seasons. There are few casts which I love and care so much about in fiction, these fellas are on Gintama level, One Piece level, Berserk level!!!! |
| Such a wholesome episode. Huge W to Kouhei and his friends |
| Bros before shoes man I almost shed a tear |
 |
| Bros before hoes! |
