It honestly feels surreal to see Grand Blue back after all these years. Episode 1 didn't waste any time - it jumped straight back into the insanity, and I mean that in the best possible way. The jokes still hit, the facial expressions are just as ridiculous, and the energy is exactly what I missed from this series.
I was a little worried that the comedy wouldn't land after such a long break, but somehow it felt like nothing changed - like the cast picked up right where they left off. It's still immature, over-the-top, and completely self-aware... and that's what makes it so fun.
The animation isn't flashy, but it stays true to Season 1's style. The exaggerated faces and timing still land perfectly, even if the overall visuals are pretty simple. It fits the tone, and honestly, that's all it needs.
