Grand Blue Dreaming Season 2 Will Premiere in July

It’s the best time for anime fans to grab their flammable water and drink to their hearts’ desire, as the members of the Peek a Boo Club are back just in time for the 2025 summer anime season. Six long years have passed, but the release date of Grand Blue Dreaming season 2 episode 1 is scheduled for July 7, 2025 (Monday), internationally.

Grand Blue Dreaming season 1 aired from July 14 to September 29, 2018, as part of the summer anime season that same year. It released 12 episodes, covering chapters 1 to 21 of the comedy and slice-of-life manga written by Kenji Inoue and illustrated by Kimitake Yoshioka. Season 2 has no official episode count yet, but it’s expected to air 12 episodes like the first season.

Where to Watch Grand Blue Dreaming Season 2 Episode 1?

Grand Blue Dreaming Season 2 Will Stream on Crunchyroll

Grand Blue Dreaming Season 2 episode 1 will premiere on Crunchyroll in Japanese dub with English subtitles. Most likely, the anime will also receive subtitles in multiple languages upon debut.

In Japan, Grand Blue Dreaming Season 2 will air its pilot episode on local channels like Tokyo MX and BS 11 on July 7 at 24:30 JST (effectively July 8, 2025). It will also air on MBS and other Japanese streaming platforms later on.

Crunchyroll did not include Grand Blue Dreaming season 2 in their 2025 summer anime season dub lineup as of writing. Those who wish to hear the characters in English dub should wait for further news and updates. Hopefully, if the second season performs well in different areas, fans may be able to receive dub treatment sooner or later.

What to Expect From Grand Blue Dreaming Season 2 Episode 1?

The Peek a Boo Club Is Up to No Good Again

The first episode of Grand Blue Dreaming season 2 is expected to reintroduce the recurring characters of the comedy anime series. From Kitahara Iori, Chisa Kotegawa, Nanaka Kotegawa, and the rest of the members of the Peek-a-Boo Diving Club, fans should expect to watch a short introduction about them, considering the length of time passed since the first season ended.

While Grand Blue Dreaming season 1 adapted chapters 1 to 21, following Kitahara Iori’s chaotic college life in the coastal town of Izu, as well as his struggles to pass his diving test, season 2 is expected to cover chapters 22 forward. If so, then Grand Blue Dreaming’s next story arcs will revolve around the Oumi Arc, Iori’s Sister Arc, and possibly up to the Desert Island Arc, based on the number of chapters previously adapted in the first season.

Long-time fans of the Grand Blue series are still waiting for the actual development of Kitahara Iori and Chisa Kotegawa’s relationship from day one, and season 2 might bring them closer together. However, fans know that it will be difficult for a comedy anime to take the romance department seriously, with all the humor and shenanigans the characters do from one episode to another.
