| Lovers we're so back!!!!!🔥 |
| About time. They could start with season 3 after this season considering the amount of content they could adapt. |

| wasn't this originally leaked? if this leak is true hopefully the Magical Girls leak is as well |
   |
| It's been 80 years. Glad it's back after 30 volumes have released |
| Can't wait for another season of 99% alcohol, 1% diving. |
| Peak comedy finally returns |
| Nice, wasn't expecting this, but I'll gladly take more. Also reminds me I haven't read the manga in a while. |
 |
Peak Oolong Tea masterpiece is coming 🔥🔥 |
| Felt like this'll never come for some odd reason. Though finally, that one season curse is over. Really hyped for the second season. |

| Oh lol. It even took me a while to check if this was a new Grandblue announcement. So, I have two questions. Is the manga really ending and they decided to support it with a new season? And how many years have passed since the first one? |

| @Sigmar-Unberogen If it's always same jokes how can it be so funny for many people and loved by them? Can someone explain me please ? |

| I can't believe it! 😱 This was one of the anime I loved that I wished for a season 2, and after all these years it's finally happening?!?! I dig the comedy so much but there will usually be times where I get a bit annoyed with the Senpais' unstoppable urge for booze and stripping. 😅 RobertBobert said: And how many years have passed since the first one? I still recall that it was Summer 2018 when Grand Blue aired. 6 years later, a sequel has been officially announced. Maybe season 2 could arrive sometime in 2025, or 2026, who knows? |

| @LunyRem Better late than never. I always regretted that anime didn't go further in those years. |
|
| Yooo! Cheers to that 🍻 |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Holy crap, I did not expect a 2nd season for this ever. Can't wait to see best girl Azusa again <3 |
| s1 was such vibes and the manga only has more peak to be animated, can't wait to see the gang back! |
 |
| WOAH !!!!!!!!!!! faith in humanity restored |
 |
| Holy shit this was actually real? Super excited for this where the manga left off is when it starts rolling out some of the funniest stuff and theres probably even room for a 3rd season presuming this is 12 episodes. I'm honestly shocked I thought the original just didnt do well. |
Immahnoob said: Jizzy, I know you have no idea how to argue for shit, tokiyashiro said: Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Wonder if the best girl Sakurako will appear or it'd be season 3. Manga is going downhill towards the end but there's still plenty of peak material to animate. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Please get a better staff, and director especially... |
 |
| Definitely will do a rewatch of S1 since it's been so long. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Need to watch it asap. Grand Blue is in my plan to watch list for a long time. Hopefully someday we get Prison school S2 as well. Love that show a lot. |
| Silly me thought Frieren S2 would be the best announcement of the month... and then I was hit with announcement of the goddamn year just a day after. We might be in the correct timeline after all, folks. |
| I didn't even remember this shit existed. ¯\_㋡_/¯ |
 |
| Not super surprised it is getting a 2nd season. Happy to see, and some of my friends said they liked this. |
 |
| im loving it these days. every day is bringing new announcements. couldn't be happier. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
Yeaaaaah bois we comin' BACK! First Frieren S2 and now this...now if we could just get an air date for Youjo Senki S2 this year would be complete. |

WE ARE SO BACK!!!! |
| Great news. Didn't think this would happen but so happy. |
Reply to Fraakartz
@Yaaceen its not always about alcohol, the 99% alcohol thing bcs new people thought that this will be diving anime from s1 poster but no its about college life and alcohol
| @Fraakartz But i've watched the tv show and it's all about the same jokes and most of them are only about alcohol so I've never understood why it's so praised, because even a good joke becomes annoying after reppeated so many times. |
