| Gonna miss all of 'em especially Cakey, Azusa and the sisters. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| All the close up expressive shots of Chisa were nice. Needed more Azusa but at least we got Aina joining the drinking party. I can say I enjoyed this series enough that I might actually start buying the manga. |
| This anime certainly was one that I'll enjoy watching again,the humour was top notch,the girls were excellent,the CV's were spot on and the op and ed music was superb. All in all,this ranks up there at number 1 with SYD as my favourite comedy animes. Roll on another season,hopefully. And Aina is still my best girl,even if she's drunk :) |
 |
| This episode and the previous one didn't pack punches like others. Cakey ripping apart Iori and Kouhei's underwear was hilarious, but the alcohol drinking with the guys was better though. Hell who could survive with 95% alcohol, that is insane. Still the best anime although its starting to wear out with the comedy and the diving isnt that spectacular, Amanchu takes that role well. But because of the last episodes its an 8/10. |

| First of all, i will talk about this awesome episode! We can saw more about ocean, this were beautiful and fantastic moments diving, images aswell, we saw they were enjoying a lot aquatic world that much, principally Chisa! Poor Iori, because he became sick he didnt got license and cannot dive with group, i felt bad for him, Chisa is really a good women, i loved see her worried about Iori, she looked so cute and sweet, and the moment between Iori and Chisa were really good, i enjoyed that a lot! Otori was really funny, for club, alcohol is more important than everything, every one added Spirytus with 96% alcohol, Iori and Kohei wanted to avoid to drink it, but at the end they always like! Iori's speech would be really good if khohei didn't overlaid Iori, but speech became really funny too! Aina can't drink for sure, she become a monster, at start she looked cute blushing! Now about the show, this show have became one of the funniest and one of my favourite anime for sure, my enjoyment degree was really high, laughted so much watching this, enjoyed every single episode, i feel like i could rewatch this show right now, and still enjoy the same or even more! A second season for this anime would be so pefect! I will miss this show so much! I will never forget this plot! I would like to talk more but this masterpiece was so perfect that i am without words! Grand Blue 10/10! |

| Imma be honest, I don't like it. But there's one thing I gotta say: Asuza is best girl, don't @ me. |

| No new season? Please??? Great last episode, i felt a little sad about Iori but i was happy that Chisa went to cheer him up. It was a great anime, and i laughed a lot xD I just wish there were more Iori x Chisa & Iori x Azusa moments, i really enjoyed those, and obviously, more drinking alcohol parts xD I already made a promise with my friend that we will try the famous Oolang Tea from Grand Blue hahaha Will miss this show and it's great OP, hope there will be a 2nd season. 8-9/10 Thank you, guys! <3  |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| The manga comes out about monthly, so continuing would make the anime catch up sooner. Maybe about 1/4 to 1/3 of the manga was adapted. 9/10. |
 |
| It started out great but quickly became repetitive with nothing really of a value happening. Predictability of the jokes killed the comedy, the last episode was nothing remarkable either. Not to mention the characters aren't likable at all. 4/10 |
| Overall an above average comedy but the jokes were very repetitive. Best thing was Aina-chan. Most of the time I was just kinda going "heh. this joke again?". Especially the whole stripping gag. But still funnier than most comedy these days. Solid 8 from me. Also MAL lists the opening song wrong. They have it as "Shounan no Kaze ~Ichigo Ichie~ (湘南乃風 ～一五一会～)" by Shounan no Kaze (湘南乃風). That's the ALBUM the song is on. Song is titled "Grand Blue". I've submitted a correction already, hopefully it goes through. |
 |
| Pretty good adaptation. People exaggerate how much better the manga is. |
 |
| i like how this anime ending... I think i would put this anime into Best Comedy 2018 |
| Now Loading..... |
TheRantMan321 said: My impression is that Grand Blue is pretty inconsistent. Their activities range from diving, to raucous drinking. The characters range from thoughtful, when they're meeting Aina early on, to hostile, when they're ruining each other's dating experience, to idiotic, a lot of other times. The OP is arguably a lie most of the time, until you get closer to the end.Definitely the most consist show, quality wise of the season. Even many of the big dogs such as overlord, MHA, and steins gate 0 failed to stay consist, dropping in quality multiple times failing to reach the levels of hype they had prior to their airing. However Grand blue stood above the rest as the underdog, giving me some of the most laughs I've ever experienced from an anime. AA was it's comedic rival in a season of great comedies (i only watched GB and AA but people say there's a lot of good comedies) starting off strong and dominating for a while until the second half of the season. Ironically the quality of both shows flipped, GB grew funnier and AA became more predictable while still great. GB is the true underdog of the season, a perfect 8/10 Only noticed this episode when Aina went into drunken rage mode, but she has the same voice actress as Blanc from Hyperdimension Neptunia. |
Klad said: anybody knows what chapter this finale left off? I'd suggest reading from the beginning since this adaptation was kinda mediocre. Manga is better without a doubt. |
 |
| My fridays are gonna be so less funny from now on :( |
| Another good comedy now over after Chio-chan :( |
danielzx said: Does anyone know at what chapter you should start from in the manga after finishing the anime? You should start from chapter 22, which is the next chapter from where the anime ends. It was a very good adaption and well paced, from start to finish. |
| 6/10 a pretty disappointing adaptation the manga is much better |
What a ride this show has been. Been loving it since episode one since I haven't seen any other show do comedy so well. Definitely my favourite comedy so far |

| Ending with the opening song was a great idea, this song made the show quite good |
| Good finale epsiode! Until the very last end, I couldn’t take the excessive facial expressions and the nakedness of the male cast but the show was funny enough to keep up with. Surely, a hilarious comedy that was a nice watch! Chisa being overly concerned for Iori there was really touching to see, and it’s hilarious how Cakey failed to do just that even after being drunk. I was totally expecting a confession there, but boy was I wrong. I’d love to see Ryuuji’s girlfriend since we did really get to see anything of her, and I was seriously curious about it. Regardless, the dynamic duo between Azusa and Nanaka was brilliant to see. About the Op though, I absolutely loved it! The great instrumentals coupled with the glorious animation was a nice treat! Overall, a fine 6/10. Really, had the animation been a little better and the ED song a little more creative, I’d have easily awarded this show an 8. I’ll probably pick up the manga sometime, since I’m also curious to know how Iori x Chisa goes. - Storyline: 6/10 - Characterization/Character Development: 7/10 - Art/Animation: 5/10 - Sound Department: 8/10 - Personal Enjoyment: 7/10 |

| I'd say this was a pretty funny show(alongside so many other good comedies this summer season) with a lot of cute girls. A story about college kids is also a nice change, come to think of. Wish there were more anime like that. However, I'm definitely confused about the ridiculously high rating the manga has. Then again, everyone was in love with Baka to Test too, so maybe I'm just not a huge fan of this author's works. Still, this was a hell of a lot better than Baka to Test. |
| The best of this anime series is the principal Theme!!!! 6/10 is my vote!!! |
| Solid adaptation of the manga. All of those photos were amazing. |
 |
| Weak fanserive Unfunny comedy Bad and boring characters (specially the males) Naked men everywhere No plot Final score is 3/10 I can't even believe this junk is rated over 8, and I'm also surprised that this anime could make anyone laugh. I hope it never get 2nd season |
| All is well that ends well. well, it was quite a faithful adaption and really enjoyed it. Hope, they will make a 2nd season because there are a lot of fun things to come. |
| I expected something much worse at the beginning. It turned out to be pretty okay. I enjoyed it, somehow. In some places animation direction was lacking, especially when they switched locations. |
| As a huge fan of the manga, an anime is a lackluster adaptation. It's mainly because the comic timing feels off and the sound editing doesn't complement the punchlines. And visually, it's not quite good. However, that doesn't make this a bad anime. It is definitely good and very funny, regardless of adaptation quality. 7/10 |

MihailZ said: Welp One of The Best Anime for Summer Season is Over I truly wish it wasn't over but well atleast it was funny at the very end and enjoyed to the fullest Best Funny,Hilarious,Sports Anime Ever I hope the manga is still ongoing and the next couple of years get 2nd season I hope :D dude, you say what i want to say yup! this anime is MVP this summer |
 |
| I WANNA GO BACK TO UNI |
  |
| I enjoyed it - a lot. Season 2 when? Guess i'm reading the manga then... Overall 8/10, made my Friday great again |
 |
| 2nd best new comedy this season.. while ima Asuza guy, i agree Kohei's statement about Cakey being the True End. drunk Cakey is hilariously scary tho lol hope there's more even if just in forever OVA form |
| Honestly this was such a fun show to watch! I loved all the characters and it had funny moments throughout I also really liked the opening song! It incapsulates this show and summer so nicely :) it was your basic frat movie but so much better I’m even thinking of buying the manga, hehe. |

| That's a satisfying finale. They maxed out their drinking session, Spiritus 60% alcohol, this guys drunk tolerance is definitely so high. I need more IorixChisa moments. Since there's more of manga content, looking foward to season 2 if there will be. |
 |
| Oh wow had no idea this would be the last episode. It's one of those laid back and lighthearted shows that makes you forget everything else going on around. Hope it'll continue where it left off, one day. |
| This series is the only one that i highly anticipated in this summer, since i've been reading few chapters of manga and i really addicted to it, the OP is my favorite OP for this summer, the beat and music realy fit to the joy of summer,diving,and drinking. i think the adaptation was really great, the face reaction the jokes, especially the jokes and humor, they really fit my comedic taste. They also elaborate the joy in togetherness in a group of people( in this case PaB). for this final episode i think there are several point that catches me - the blissful moment for iori x chisa ( idk but i really shipped this pair XD) - 50 % of joy and beauty of diving with another 50 % of joy of drinking lol - wonderful diving/sea scene - The humour that always make me laugh I really hope they will continue this adaptation to next season since AFAIK this anime just only adapt about 1/4 or 1/3 from the manga itself, there are more wonderful character and jokes from manga that need to be shown in anime. Great summer-vibe anime for summer season, it'll be absolutely 10/10 for me |
| Diving show that's least fun when they're actually diving, but we already knew that didn't we. Second half was competent, but the jokes were mostly ones used earlier so could have been much better. Show didn't live up to promise, but it still was a charming and fun show which conveyed endlessly good vibes. 6-7/10 |
| This was the best summer anime ever. Kept me laughing and made me want to try diving at least once. :) |
| Drunk Aina is the best. It was a good show, some jokes became boring at the end though. |
