    Frienemies for life

    I've never laughed so hard while watching an anime. Great characters and interactions and just pure comedic gold. Best part for me was the tennis match.

    Btw. this anime still actually contains some useful information regarding diving (for anyone interested in this topic).

    Grand blue season 2

    Amazing!

    Best comedy ever.

    It has the best jokes, an awesome story, and it'll be one of the best anime-watching experiences you'll ever have.

    I seriously can't wait for the next season to come out!

    I truly hope the next season comes out as soon as possible, because after such an incredible ride full of laughter, an epic story, and one of the best anime experiences I've ever had, I'm dying to see where the story goes next.

    This anime is an absolute gem. From start to finish, it keeps you hooked with its perfect blend of hilarious humor, an engaging and thrilling story, and unforgettable characters. The comedy feels natural and genuinely funny, without ever feeling forced, and the story is much deeper and more exciting than you'd expect at first glance.

    What really stands out is how it balances its tones-it makes you laugh out loud one moment and sit on the edge of your seat the next, invested in the plot and the characters' fates. The pacing is great, the animation is beautiful, and the emotional moments hit hard when they need to.

    Watching this was honestly one of the best anime experiences I've ever had, and I can't wait to see where the story goes next. Here's hoping the next season comes out soon, because this show deserves all the love it gets!

    Rating: 10/10 - A must-watch for any anime fan.

    You will laugh!!

    Funniest show you will every watch. You simply can't explain it with words. Do yourself a favor and watch it.

    A Laugh Marathon!

    I was feeling a bit down yesterday so I decided to try out a comedy anime for the first time and alas, I feel great and happy. This is how I feel about this anime if I have to put it out in a sentence.

    There's no complex story, it's all about the daily 'adventures' of a freshman Iori who's residing in his cousin's house which is also a scuba diving club. We got ourselves a diverse range of characters who got their own personalities and traits. The story holds on to its foundation as a diving comedy and explores the art of diving giving us the exploration of the ocean and things round about it. Really can't say anything about the story as it constructs itself into one.

    People always recommend reading the manga saying it's more fun and got a complexity to the story, I may be wrong but I don't think the manga would make me laugh my ass off as much as the anime did because of the sheer 'Titan' expressions, the timing, and weirdness of the emotions playing in front of us. Highly recommend giving it a shot!
