The cover of this year's fourth issue of Kodansha's Good! Afternoon magazine is revealing on March 7 that Kenji Inoue and Kimitake Yoshioka's Grand Blue Dreaming (Grand Blue) manga is getting a television anime adaptation.
The official website for the AnimeJapan 2018 convention previously briefly listed that Avex Pictures will introduce a number of new works at the event, including a "new Grand Blue anime." Good! Afternoon had additionally teased earlier this month that the manga would have "big news" in the fourth issue.
Kodansha Comics publishes the manga in English digitally, and it describes the story:
After moving out on his own to a seaside town, Iori Kitahara makes a college debut he never anticipated. A new chapter of his life unfolds, full of diving with beautiful girls and shenanigans with a gaggle of lovable bastards! Idiot-expert Kenji Inoue and au naturel authority Kimitake Yoshioka bring you a glorious college tale filled with booze-fueled antics!

Lucas King
it was fun while it lasted, fucking secondaries will destroy another series
Adam Rodriguez
How the fuck are they gonna deal with all the alcoholism and raging lesbianism from Asuza ?
Joshua Bailey
Sounds like a good SoL, Can't wait.
William Watson
And now we have to support 6 months minimum of you bitching about it every Gb thread
Blake Rodriguez
It's going to be another adaptation that we won't talk about once it's done airing.
Isaac Barnes
How the fuck they gonna deal with all the nude muscles?
Robert Moore
But at least we are gonna get an anime cakey.
Charles Miller
I guess that not all is lost.
James Young
>Dreaming
wat
Kayden Ramirez
Can't wait for the doujins
Connor Ortiz
Who gives a fuck about Cakey? She's flat and has no charms Azusa though
Adam Hernandez
>GB porn
Cameron Wilson
>GBs of GB porn
Joseph Clark
But she is very cte and funny when cakey mode.
Also she is a drunktard, and this manga has few female drunktards.
Grayson Gomez
Best girl.
Hudson Phillips
Actually you bitching is already annoying and it hasn't even aired yet.
Elijah Stewart
>dreaming
Sebastian Thomas
NOT GIVE IT UP LUFFY
Samuel Myers
Doujins will end having more diving related stuff then the actual manga will ever have.
Ryan Miller
It's interesting how quickly this lost steam around here. Threads were much more active just a few months ago. What happened?
Easton Adams
>What happened? Translations died. Now are starting to pick up thiugh
Nathan Ross
it was licensed and translations have been rather erratic and uncertain after helvetica stopped doing so
Christopher Sanders
Helvetica dropped translating grand blue. Not sure if anyone's doing it now
Jonathan Hughes
>Not sure if anyone's doing it now Fallen Angels picked it, but like their schendule is pretty erratic
Ian Johnson
Official announcement
Alexander Collins
Why the fuck didn't they call it Grand Blue DIVING if they were going to localize like tards?
Julian Rivera
FA took the mantle after HA but released one chapter so far. Subby-D translated two chapters but they're intentionally bad and made as unfunny jokes Croxx released the previous chapters but haven't done the one from this month, maybe batoto disappearing discouraged them This morning a guy translated this month's chapter from gook scans and another typesetted it. Pretty LQ but it's something.
Hunter Anderson
It got old fast. This happens with most comedy manga. It starts off funny, but the jokes get stale pretty quick. Like D-Frag or SYD. You can only do the same joke so many times before it becomes annoying.
Kayden Ortiz
Well now that it's official. Cast them
Nolan Wilson
Trash always gets anime
Mason Lewis
All I'm hoping for is at least one doujin of Iori (who actually fucked Azusa) causally going around and having sex with all the girls.
Cameron Green
This honestly.
James Hall
>TV anime announcement usually filled with cute girls >it's 4 alcoholic half-naked dude
Henry Russell
Hiroshi Kamiya as Iori please!
Hudson Cox
This or we riot
Grayson Ramirez
english editions are going to catch up eventually, if that happens before the anime starts showing that'll probably be when it picks up again
Samuel Bailey
Just like it should be
Brayden Young
>Dreaming Excuse me?
Camden Williams
I've never heard anyone call GB boring except you and that other faggot.
Maybe fuck off back to bnha or an isekai you enjoy, it'll be more to your liking.
Caleb Cruz
>please don't say mean things about my favorite manga >you probably only like shonenshit or isekai garbage You should seriously consider killing yourself, retard. If you can't handle someone having a different opinion than you you definitely won't be able to handle all the shitposting that the anime will bring to these threads.
Tyler Reed
Yeah hid deflection of criticism is retarded but he is partly in the right. I also haven't seen a lot of people losing interest in the manga itself, lack of translations is probably the fault for lack of discussion.
John Mitchell
Post the scenes you're looking forward to seeing adapted the most.
Henry Hughes
I hope they do one around this scencario
Austin Green
>Have a shitty opinion >Get mad when someone recommend you with manga you deserve
Brody Powell
While I don't agree with OP, you're being an assblasted faggot. All the guy said was that he believes it's been losing steam without recognizing how the monthly schedule and slow translations have resulted in less discussion. All you're doing is being a shit.
Tyler Cooper
Quit being a fucking baby and let the guy think whatever he wants user
Connor Smith
How is this compared to Amanchu?
Samuel Gomez
So what, he talks about something he doesn't know, it's not like I'm hurting his feelings by pointing out he's retarded.
Ryder Price
About time.
Asher Allen
Amanchu has less comedy but more diving. They're completely different manga though.
Robert Baker
I do not know the serie, have romance? Is not Harem?
Tyler Johnson
I wish I knew this feel.
Henry Adams
Romance shit with cake started happening
Ayden Campbell
>have romance? Sorta > Is not Harem? Yes
Adam James
It's not harem. At the most it has some romantic elements but they're a lot more downstated, save for some specific chapters. The comedy and the wonder surrounding diving are the driving forces.
t. someone who hates harem
Jace Brown
>It's not harem. Yeah that's what i said to him the manga it's not an harem. Maybe i should have been a litte bit more concise
Nathaniel Long
The whole mixer chapter
Levi Myers
Yeah, I reread that and it made more sense immediately after I responded.
Luis Wright
Ioris room The tennis match The one where they send JAV to one of their friends just to deny him sex.
Connor Thomas
All Bitch-sama scences.
Luis Baker
should i read the manga before the adaptation? you guys believe the anime will be better?
Hudson Gutierrez
Yes and no.
Thomas Hernandez
YES.
GOD FUCKING YES THANK YOU.
David Russell
>you guys believe the anime will be better?
This is rarely ever the case you know. I can guarantee the manga will be better.
Jordan Bailey
>Dreaming whose retarded idea is this?
Kevin King
so why won't the anime be better?
Owen Campbell
I don't get people like you. Been following the manga since the early chapters and I'm excited for this. When I discover a great series, I always want more people to know about it.
Chase Long
The manga will be better. I can almost guarantee the anime will be censored. Not that theres oversexualization (there is but not in the way you expect), but therea a lot of topics that are more adult, compared to what the genre does.
John Parker
Gatekeepers BTFO
Aaron Taylor
/manga and LN when?
Kevin Kelly
I knew it from the very beginning
Owen Fisher
The only thing i know is that we need Sugita as Kouhei and Miyuki Sawashiro as Azusa
Thomas Green
I'm hoping for a Sakamoto Desu-ga? situation where the anime is just as funny as the manga.
Nathaniel Clark
>It's an user gets mad about things that didn't happen yet episode
Dominic Ward
Is alcohol okay to show on anime?
Levi Clark
Cakeyfags will be the loud majority
Alexander Cruz
But which studio is doing the animation? I'm uncertain which studios publishes under AVEX.
Brandon Smith
Noice
Evan Moore
I was suprised that there wasn't a shit about this.
Nicholas Campbell
Full-blown waifufag wars soon. Such is the fate of all anime adaptations.
Kanako best girl.
Matthew King
There's no way this will be good, I 100% guarantee it.
Jordan James
>implying influx of newfags ruining threads never happened
Ethan Nelson
tfw bitch-sama wont be animated
Tyler King
The intro episode alone will be awesome
William Hill
She would be introduced in a 2nd season
William Sanchez
What shit? There was an entire chapter just about how Iori tryed to calm her down..
Luis Evans
So, which studio will ruin it?
Hudson Williams
Silver Link
Eli Kelly
With Mitsuboshi Colors budget.
Hunter Edwards
Trigger
Samuel Rogers
>All these college students drinking oolong tea
Good thing this family friendly show can air uncensored.
Brody King
this bascially
Jose Sanders
All of them are awesome
Ryan Wright
I was talking about any doujin about Iori calming her down with his dick, then Azusa showing up to join the party
Liam Garcia
When will Iori gets balls deep into Bitch-sama after a heavy drinking party?
Camden Wright
Gatekeepers are hundred times more annoying. At least secondaries move on after the anime ended to the next new thing.
Alexander Perez
At least we'll get Shiori
Luis Rodriguez
So this is pretty much BakaTest the university years?
