The production of the 2nd season of the TV anime Grand Blue, based on the manga by Kenji Inoue and Kimitake Yoshioka, has been officially announced. To mark the occasion, a teaser image was released, showing the members of the diving club "Peek a Boo" toasting under the summer sky. The announcement comes six years after the first season aired in 2018.
"Grand Blue" is a "teenage diving comedy" that follows Iori Kitahara, who joins his uncle's diving shop "Grand Blue" in Izu after graduating from university. The story focuses on Iori's experiences as a member of the diving club, his youth, and his friendships. Season 2 begins after Iori completes his diving instructor training in Okinawa and returns to Izu, where the story kicks off with a letter from his sister Shiori.
In addition to the teaser, details about the production team and cast have been revealed. Zero-G, the studio behind the first season, has teamed up with Studio Liber for Season 2. Shinji Takamatsu will continue to serve as director, scriptwriter, and sound director, while Hideoki Kusama returns as character designer and chief animation director. The main cast, including Yuma Uchida as Iori, Ryohei Kimura, Hiroki Yasumoto, Katsuyuki Konishi, Chika Anzai, Maaya Uchida, Toa Yukinari, and Kana Asumi, will reprise their roles from the first season.
