Oh man, the misunderstanding this episode ignited some spicy drama.

I think this episode is highly amusing for the fact that they set up a game just for Chisa. It's almost like a test of experiment to see how far she can say unintentionally. Aina is also hilarious in this and there were so many meme worthy material from the episode lmao

I like how Nanaka-san call Azusa and explains how Iori-kun is responsible; Nanaka-san is good at making people misunderstand. This outfit of Nanaka really suits her, as if her character design is different from before. I also like her hairstyle. I didn't expect Iori-kun to look at Nanaka-san with a lewd gaze.

Forget about Aina being sick; I enjoy the moment with Tokita, Kotobuki, and Nanaka at the bar. The atmosphere of their friendship comes through here. Since this episode features a lot of screen time for Nanaka-san, I give it a 5/5.

Oh Man, this is the funniest episode this Season, the 2nd half especially. She is SMOKING HOT. Iori only told the simple truth, weird she cannot take complements from guys about it. Surely she has heard it from others. Everything he did solo to fix it only made it worse! ROFLMAO Than the same thing happens with Azusa, but she really doesn't care. And why would she, they almost had sex last Season. LOL I forgot she was BI though, when she suggested a threesome I lost it.

The Iori-Iwamura interactions were one of the few things I liked in first season, and it seems gone this season. As a trade-off, suddenly the senpais are lot more bearable

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Oh my stomach!! It hurts from laughing! Nanaka and Azusa are the best duo! My God, I couldn’t stop laughing! The worst part is I’m in a public place, laughing silently! It’s so embarrassing and painful, but this episode *absolutely* didn’t fail to make me laugh like crazy!!

My God, this is hands down the *best* episode of *Grand Blue* I’ve watched so far! No contest! And how many times have I warned myself *not* to watch this show in the library?! All I wanted was a quiet lunch break—to eat and get back to work—but this made me forget my food, forget lunch, and just laugh!

Ugh!! And Aina's book titles!! Aghhh!! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

And poor Chisa at the end—when Aina ripped off her tank top! My God, if I listed *every* moment that made me laugh, I’d never finish! So I’ll stop writing here!

See you next week with a new comment and a new episode!

Warning! There are *many* screencaps under the spoiler tag! I’m not responsible if you click it 😂😂😂

The famous ignitable water is back.

After a softer-than-expect first episode, I thought episode 2 is much better, and this episode is even much better.

I've said again and again that comedy is the hardest genre because there is no universal joke that work on everyone unlike drama element. Some people may laugh at a joke that other people think its' inoffensive. So to see Grand Blue completely excel comedy with flying colors is very surprising.

Wait, why is Aina interested in Iori again? Does she want "seishuun" romance so bad that she's ok with any guy, including a guy like Iori? That flashback that included Chisa but not Aina was funny tho. Also, the return of Cakey. But this time she actually took off her clothes and acted drunk lol.

It's finally revealed that Iori isn't blood-related to Chisa or Nanaka. Even without the spoilers I got when I started watching Season 1 it was kinda obvious.

Iori sees Nanaka in an erotic gaze... Well, can't say I blame him. Nanaka's reactions were also... interesting. Like she'd eventually cave into him if he acted persistent enough. Thankfully, Iori still sees her as a sister even tho he kept digging himself in a deeper hole. Azusa is THE GOAT. Even though she's a weirdo, she really comes in clutch when it's really needed as a friend. The things she was saying to Iori were pretty insane tho.

I don't understand why Chisa even needs that book... She seemd fine. The preview for the next episode is... interesting. Can say I'm definitely looking forward to it lol. This was the best episode of Season 2 yet. And it's just the 3rd episode. This episode had a lot of the trademark Grand Blue ugly faces that I think the first 2 episodes of the season were missing so that was great. Can't wait for more hilarious episodes.

I just looked it up and I'm baffled. Iori's VA Yuuma Uchida is the younger brother of Nanaka's VA Maaya Uchida. I didn't know this before. This just makes the whole thing so much better. XD

Found this episode to be such a blast to watch, really fun dynamics explored this time around with Iori and Nanaka/Azusa in the second half there, as well as Aina losing her shit in that entire first half and how much she got outplayed there lol.

Lol Shiori being missed for two different reasons. Aina cutting loose though was quite the sight. Iori sure had a pretty nice counter to Aina's plan. Aina sure had quite the interesting topics for her reading. Never figured Nanaka to be the low self confidence type though. Still im glad that in the end they managed to sort things out.

nakaka-san is the goat of misunderstanding things, damn I laughed when she scared from Iori she had to get away from when he say any sentences, like that is pure comedy

and damn azusa is just lusty girl, she wanted nakaka-san to get drunk so she and Iori get her, but that was a plan to clarify things between them

and looks like Aina likes Iori which we know from a few eps, and why tf chisa wants to make her boobs bigger ? like damn

4 / 5 really good comedy here, love it

Aina really thought she could out trick Iori😂

I mean he ain’t wrong, Nanaka and Azusa are bad asl 😮‍💨

The way she avoided him until he finally spilled the beans was funny asf. Misunderstandings are great when done well.

Looked forward to this episode and wasn't disappointed. They nailed the Nanaka-Iori misunderstanding. The seeiyus are doing a great job to make up for the limited animation being used here.

Kohei trying to "connect" with Shiori and only imagining Iori wants to drink had me rolling😭😭

I had this blood relation query since season 1. Idc either way but yeah now it's revealed Aina indeed has lots of reason to worry.
Definitely in minority but team Aina.

One day she went wild next day got sick lol😭😭

Nanaka & Iori part was pure gold. Poor guy being persecuted for telling the truth. Nanaka indeed has a very hot body.
Iori failures to make up was amazing. Azusa cleared things quite efficiently. She was so happy to get called oneesan. This was one of the best chapters for sure. The seiyuu being actual big sister and brother makes it even better.

@Stark700 I had my own misunderstanding, because I swore they were talking about Iori and Shiori, but considering how little Chisa's dad plays into this, I completely forgot there was the situation anyway. They may have brought it up in season 1, but 1st cousin by marriage would mostly be uncomfortable in that there could be still the effect that the relationship is akin to if they were blood related.

Like I'm not thinking about a romantic relationship with my 1st cousin on either side of the family, but it's far less disturbing if someone I had a crush on at the local church I went to as a teen turned out to be a 1st cousin somehow because we didn't grow up with the familial connection

@WaterMage I feel like 1st cousin marriage and such in Japan is probably not regarded with the side eye as in Western countries, but I imagine the qualifier to blood relations would be a solid way to pivot away from the incestuous implications. But were they raised together in the same way 1st cousins would be as biological lateral relations or was it different?

The icing on the cake is that the VAs of Iori and Nanaka are actually real-life siblings. With Iori's VA being the younger brother and Nanaka's VA being the older sister.

The Iori Nanaka misunderstanding was wonderful. Well it isn't really a misunderstanding Nanaka is hot af. Thankfully, Azusa helped smooth things over. She's the best girl for a reason. Her double team suggestion was wild though.


Still though if Chisa and Iori aren't related so is Iori and Nanaka so if you can ship Chisa and Iori then Nanaka and Iori isn't impossible either right?

Surprised Chisa actually took home that bigass book on Boobology lol.

I guess even Chisa despite having a pretty nice chest has concerns as well. She is being compared to Nanaka all the time. Don't worry Chisa you might lose in the chest department but in terms of Ass, you're comparable.

We also got Cakey back! I love how Aina really can do anything as long as she has her makeup armor on. This time she was willing to do it even without it!


My favorite scene though was probably just the senpai's drinking together in the bar. Anytime we get their lore I'm locked in. I wonder if we'll ever see Tokki's girlfriend?

Azusa being “one of the boys” is established in season one so her being bi and dtf is expected. But that moment where she baits Iroi is basically her version of a forward confession (sex only not a relationship) with plausible deniably which is experienced college girl behavior lmao.

It seems like Iroi, Chisa and Cakey didn’t date pre college at least at this point in the anime and they all act that way. The Senpai Kouhai maturity gap in this show is really nice for the more serious scenes. This episode kinda shows how the second/third years have a different established dynamic and how Iroi with his family ties combined with the freshman and upper classmen + different personalities make situations naturally chaotic

Overall, episode 3 mainly tells about the possible romance that could happen between Iori and the other characters. I'm glad to hear that Iori and Chisa are not blood-related. At least if a romance happens between them, it wouldn’t fall under incest (honestly, that’s the most disgusting sexual orientation, on par with LGBTQ).
Well, even though it seems like none of the characters in Grand Blue will actually get into real romantic relationships. Maybe it's all just for comedic purposes.
It’s more enjoyable to watch their interactions without any romantic ties. The craziness and hilarity among them are truly entertaining. This is the best comedy anime I've ever watched.

@Denkenisme Only 3 possible routes: Iori X Aina
Iori X Chisa ( My favorite btw.)
Iori X Azusa ( but after last Season's steamy scene, most likely will remain friends.)
I doubt any REAL romance for our loveable loser. LOL

Well, I’m glad Iori and Nanaka made up. Azusa’s idea of asking Iori what he thinks of Nanaka while having her on the phone at the same time was a really clever way to get them to reconcile. That said, Nanaka was absolutely adorable when she realized Iori sees her as a big sister.

Aina was also incredibly bold this episode. The way she was totally fine getting into a bikini just to get Iori drunk and ask what he thinks of Chisa was hilarious. Not to mention all those books in her room about breast development, haha.
