| Jesus Christ, this Shiori is a hothead, even more than Chisa. Apparently, she has been secretly observing Iori including his "lewd" behavior. She also had that slight yandere look with a knife! Character reactions are still hilarious for this show. Shiori definitely adds more drama to this season just by her sheer personality alone. |
 |
| Shiori came there just for a single reason, and that was to embarrass Iori.. yeah, no one can convince me otherwise. Though I can’t say how much of a good environment the surrounding of Iori makes for his lil sis lol. I mean even barring the fact that these adults roam around completely naked, there’s Kohei living and breathing at the same place, who for every reason see the very existence of little sisters as something that should be revered. Though hey, Shiori knows it all and is too smart lol. The entire plan of bringing Iori back to home is doomed to fail, or rather it always was. I mean who would want to leave such a life, not just Iori. You can’t go home, live with your parents and drink whenever you want. That’s the biggest part.. don’t let that diving course fool you, because it’s actually soooo rare to see these people diving in a series which is about diving. Shoutout to Shiroi btw, she was so fine while collecting the porno her brother consumes xD |
| Shiori's arrival was indeed unexpected, but thankfully, she explained the misunderstanding with Chisa as well. Is that Iori's composition notebook (from his junior high school days)? i like how Kouhei pleads with Iori to have Shiori call him 'Kouhei Onii-chan.' Imouto power, lol. In fact, Shiori also likes 'Mahou Shoujo Lalako.'  How can Iori faint just from Shiori's hand? overall in this eps Shiori just wanted Iori to feel homesick so badly. The scene where Kouhei still wants to be called 'Kouhei Onii-chan' it's still fresh. In fact, Iori can't mention Shiori's favorites and also that 'Touch of the death' scene rip Iori. Shiori's casual outfit? She looks so much ugly, I think Shiori is beautiful in a kimono. Let's go, Iori's license! |

| Of course the little sister likes the main character 😭 Feel bad for Kohei but Iori is goat after all, Chisa's relationship better grow from now on |
 |
| Shiori has arrived now. But the misunderstanding is the most endearing part of any anime show for real 😂 |

| @Syureria Did you not catch this? Those hand towels had chloroform in them. LOL |
Painful admission Kohei was a bit too well prepared for the occasion. Then again, not that you would expect anything less from a guy like him, lol. He was the funniest character this episode, as usual. Speaking of funny. The sibling relationship between Iori and Shiori is one the most hilarious you will see in comedy anime. Considering that we ended on a pretty wholesome note. Words are just words, at the end of the day you still love your siblings. |

| Shiori is here, and this episode was just her episode and her plans to bring Iori back home with her, but she ended up experiencing the life everyone was living there, and she also enjoyed diving with them. It was nice to see. Other than that, Shiori may show that she doesn't love her brother, but she's actually just like Nanaka, like Azusa said, obsessed with her brother, and Iori is also a nice brother. He's also not an affectionate person, but he cares for her a lot. The ending bit between them was pretty wholesome. |
 |
Aww cutest not really a bro-con pout. Need more of these siblings interactions in the future. |
| Bro i'm so glad this is airing on Monday, I was having terrible Monday blues and it took it off with laughs. |
| Man I wish the production quality was a little bit better like s1. Guess can't wish for more. |
| I don't even care about the production quality, the voice acting alone makes up for everything. Great fucking episode! |
 |
| Probably the moment I found the funniest was Shiori playing up to the typical little sibling sympathy-card scene about guilt tripping Iori about whether he wasn't happy with her being around only for Iori to wholeheartedly agree with that. I'm the kind of person that has said that kind of thing before and found it hilarious that Iori gave zero fucks about that. Even though Shiori had ulterior motives and acted mildly psychotic at times with the chloroforming, at least she did see that Iori does care a little to know some things about her and the lack of interest in taking over the ryokan, even though he's a hopeless human being in most facets. Very reminiscent of Nanaka, maybe more scenes of them together would have been nice. Otherwise, this was another solid episode of Grand Blue, feels like a breath of fresh air compared to other anime this season. If the production quality was a little better, would be amazing but its still a good, fun watch. |
| "Greetings Kitahara" , I was just waiting for Kohei to show up XD. So Shiori was just acting to be a Brocon, Well she failed in her mission to bring back iori but atleast had a good time there diving After all this anime is about DIVING!(right?) Even after all the stupidity kitahara has few good qualities :) Man its so much fun watching it. |

| @Sheol01 Ahhh it was some kind of anesthetic, thank you for lotting me know since i watched the ep 2 on tv so i can't replay the scene and didn't really pay attention because i was eating at that time ehehehhe. |

| Honestly, I think I have never found a Grand Blue episode this hilarious. I just loved Shiori as a character, and how she had a plan all traced out to make Iori comeback, not because she likes him, but because she wants him to take over the family business, since without him, their parents would want her to assume that role. Shiori seems to be quite smart, so it's understandable she has other plans for her life, than to settle with the family business. The way she just played the "brother-obsessed sister", and, deep down, she could strangle Iori right there. It was great to see her find peace when she went diving, where she could just be herself. I'm also happy to see that they didn't portray Iori just as a neglectable brother, and actually showed that he knows that Shiori doesn't want to run the family business, but doesn't have the courage to say that to her parents. This was a small moment, but it meant a lot for Shiori, I think she needed to hear that, and instead of doing this quite complicated plan to run from that, she could just gain the courage and tell that to her parents. It also made her realize that she could still find support in her big bro, just like when they little. This moments was actually wholesome, and I'm actually surprised, I remember in season 1 we didn't get a lot of these. All of this while the 2 siblings were catching from the ground Iori's adult collection (with one goose underwear in there too), which is crazy. I'm actually quite sad she is leaving already, I hope she still appears again later this season! Overall, I think this has been my favorite episode of the anime so far xD |
| Excellent detective work, Shiori. You completely broke off your onii-sama's marriage. Poor guy lol. Fucking hell. Kohei is fucking crazy. He'd probably commit a crime the longer he stayed with Shiori. Shiori isn't a brocon?! Now that's a twist. Looks like she only wanted him to take over the family business because she didn't want to. She must be really desperate to pull so many stunts like this. It's a bit disappointing that she left in this episode. It probably would've been fun if she stuck around for a few more episodes. Hope she'll return to the show later. So glad Iori finally got his diving license! It was disappointing how Season 1 ended before he could get it. So, that felt like a weird ending. I feel bad for people who were looking forward to him getting his license for 7 years. But it felt like this episode brushed it off very easily lol. I thought it'd be way more dramatic like the last few episodes of Season 1. This was another hilarious episode. My favorite jokes were probably the ones with Nanaka and then Aina giving Shiori her spare swimsuit lol. I still feel bad about the leak. I hope it won't negatively impact the series later. |

Amazing episode as always. I've just finished university, and started living alone when watched S1 many years ago, and it takes me back :D This show is so nostalgic and amazing at the same time :) Considering how shitty the World and my generation's prospect got in the past 5-10 years, this show makes me feel happy for a bit :)
| @fenrirr2 I wish it could go on forever |
| PS Announcement: The Cruel Empire endorses the litany of depraved and shameful acts portrayed in this series (but not the really stupid ones). "I'm so unhappy I could die!" Aina crying blood over her bust. Cheer up darlin', I wouldn't kick you out of my 'recreation' dungeon bed. |

| Yes yes yes yes yes!!! Azusa is back! And with her, the fun is back—and the anime is back! Finally, an episode I can confidently say was a 10/10 in pure enjoyment! The relationship between Iori and Shiori is so wholesome, and Shiori's appearance was honestly fantastic! I really enjoyed her as a side character and had expected the worst from her in the previous episode... Also, if you paid close attention, the uncle appeared again! I think the last time we saw him was in episode 2, 3, or 4 of the first season—I can’t quite remember. Can you believe it? As usual, I laughed a lot, and as usual, I’m looking forward to the next episode. But wait—wait a second... Ena!! What are you doing in the preview scene!! Focus on the final frame… Azusa is there too… Here are the frames from the episode—enjoy! 👇 |
| There's a sense of loneliness in Shiori's voice. But, she looked genuinely happy in that photo. She must've had fun diving with them on that day and that peaceful experience under the ocean must've calmed her worries. |
| Many have earned diving licenses. Few have turned their sibling's pretend brocon into the real thing. But only one has done both in the same day. Iori truly is an inspiration to us all. |
| Great ep Iori be passively hating his sister to make her go the minute that she appears lmao. She really is crazy tho, drugging him is definitely a choice. The power of Kohei's love for wanting a sister and getting called "onii-chan" is too strong. He's even willing to spend 10000s of yen. That swimsuit was crazy as well, like where is the police when you need them? Nice to see Shiori get out of her shell, expectations, and just dive so that she can understand Iori's love for diving. Also, nice to see Iori lock in as the brother that he needs to be whenever Shiori is in need. He really pretended to be dumb when he is dumb. At least now Shiori understands him more. 9.5/10 |

| Iori and Shiori are more of realistic brother sister relationship than most animes. Even if she is scheming and wicked but as with most imouto in anime cute as always. Her brocon antics had no effect but still. If anything Nanaka has false sense of commaradry with her lol. I was waiting for the Kohei meltdown. Warra warra guy. Atleast he got "Kohei niisama" better than nothing. But badmouthing him to Shiroi. These two constantly one ups in each other being the more shitty person. Iori idiot jokes were amazing😭😭 "You should study everyday" "Look who's talking" "You saying this has negetive compatibility" That Kohei stunt with school swimsuit, ah.. wild policeman appears😭😭. Poor Aina though. Atleast she dived. Rare diving anime experience. And Iori finally got his license. Kinda sad Shiori was only for one episode. She atleast had one nice moment onichan atleast. Hopefully will see her again soon. She is really adorable and sweet  Cabacko teaser... |
| "Whoa! A wild policeman appeared!" |
 |
| The mcs sis is funny. Love the otaku guy's simping. Pretty wholesome send off at the end! That school swimsuit joke was peak! |
 |
| Shiori is a fun character. I'm glad that she isn't an obsessed weirdo with her brother. I love Iori's a while policeman appeared. |
 |
| Yeah, the anime's quality is definitely low but it's getting carried hard by the voice acting and the characters, so it's still enjoyable. I wish it was better though. Hopefully it doesn't get worse. |
| kouhei and lalako-tan lmaooo i forgot about that. crazy how the two shows i'm enjoying the most this season don't have the animation as it's strong points and is getting carried by everything else. i'm here for it though. |
