Looking forward to see it. I hope the adaptation will be handled by JC Staff because of the previous work on Prison School. The art style would suit well for Grand Blue.

There's a difference between not liking something and something being "overrated". Actually, the concept of 'overrated' is something that never works for anything, or else you'll be making a subjective statement (since not liking something that the majority likes ≠ overrated, since it's simply a matter of preference). And comedy is the most subjective genre for any medium and Grand Blue's sense of humor is simply not for you.


It does not deserve the score it has, therefore it is overrated to me, that is it. Not trying to change anyone mind on this series, just stating my opinion of it, just like everyone else, the only difference is that im on the negative side of this.

holy fuck shinji takamatsu is perfect for this, for those unaware he did the first 105 episodes of gintama while doing tons of work for the rest of the series after that just not as the director, he also did sakamoto ixion saga and daily lives of high school boys.

the studio is a tad worrying, but im trusting shinji with this.

Yeah im pretty hopeful for this just cause of him, though no offense to his legacy but i do think hes the 2nd best pick not the best, I think yoichi fujita would of been the best possible pick cause generally he has a way with art direction that takamatsu kind of lacks. Almost every show fujita mans has really good animation for great physical comedy.

then again grand blue is more reliant on uber detailed stills which takamatsu nails the timing of. still not to take away from the man talent, im uber excited they got him to do it.



I just realized, sugita is,in literally every show takamatsu has done in the last like half decade, so im gonna go on a whim and say sugita as kyohei confirmed

This is going to be Zero-G biggest project yet. (By biggest i mean this a popular manga compared to Tsugumomo). I trust Zero-G, they animated Tsugumomo better than i expected to be and convinced me to check out the manga. Too bad the BD sales are pretty low so i can't see a Season 2 coming.

A Gintama director working on a comedy anime is basically a recipe for success. As long as the source material is solid, Takamatsu can make a great anime out of it. Not to mention that his work tends to have the best voice actors you could ask for. Hopefully Kamiya as Iori and Sugita as Kouhei actually happens!!! PURIIZU!


Studio is pretty mediocre, but at least the director's good (because in a comedy series, directing is more important that production values. Besides, Battery had good production values.

PV is really troll though, as it's trying to fool the audience into believing that diving is the main focus of the series XD

Yeah, ever since Gintama, Sugita's been a regular for Takamatsu. Hopefully he does get the casting for Kouhei :D

No, you're trying to bait people into an argument. Why else would you post in a news thread about a series you don't like? Only trolls would do it.

You have to much free time to post on a news about a manga you don't like so it really looks like you are looking for a fight.
You should just stay in the shounen manga section.

Read the first few chapters of the manga but it didn't really catch me after I was recommended by multiple users. I will see how it goes when the anime becomes available.

I HAD A LOT OF LAUGH TO THE POINT MY SIDES HURT LIKE CRAZY! AND I JUST REALIZED THE AUTHOR IS THE SAME AS BAKA TO TEST! AND NOW WE HAVE GINTAMA'S DIRECTOR ON BOARD!

Of course there's no way I wouldn't want to not properly retract from what I hadn't said.

And who knows, maybe more readers will give this manga a shot and not just drop it after chapter 4 or 5. The start was really random but the manga actually did great on setting up the character traits. I found myself laughing at the punch moments of the situations even before they are shown in much later chapters, like around chapters 10 and beyond because I could already see it where it was heading. It has the classic Baka to Test punch moments in it. And then there are absolutely random moments as well.

And like many others said, it does have the same feel like Gintama. Like those classic moments when you can tell what a certain character is gonna do even before they do it and start laughing because you know how retarded yet hilarious that would turn out to be!
