The anime shows countless iconic moments, which includes epic battles with the Ten Commandments of demon clan, Escanor(the 2nd strongest among the seven) legendary duels, and the infinite loop of romance between Meliodas and Elizabeth. These elements made it a fan favorite in the

However, the series wasn't without controversy. In the later seasons, it faced backlash for bad animation quality and the rushed plot, especially during critical story arcs. Despite these challenges, fans remained loyal thanks to the strong emotional core and character-driven storytelling.
The final season, Dragon's Judgement, brought the epic fight with the Demon King to an end, offering satisfying closure to our beloved characters and setting the stage up for the next generation.

Grand Blue Dreaming season 2: Release date, schedule, streaming details and why this anime's chaos is unmatched
Source: Crunchyroll It's time to get drunk, dive deep, and make absolutely terrible life decisions — Grand Blue Dreaming is officially back with Season 2, and yes, it's just as unhinged as you hoped. Whether you're here for the diving or the debauchery (let's be honest—it's the debauchery), this slice-of-chaotic-life comedy is ready to steal your Mondays. From faceplants to speedos to surprisingly wholesome friendship arcs, Grand Blue Season 2 is already shaping up to be the feel-good disaster of the year. Here's everything you need to know about the Grand Blue Season 2 release date, episode schedule, streaming platform, and what to expect. When is Grand Blue Dreaming Season 2 coming out Source: Crunchyroll Grand Blue Dreaming Season 2 premiered on July 7, 2025, with new episodes dropping every Monday (technically Sunday midnight JST) on Crunchyroll. If you need to catch up (and you definitely should), Season 1 is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video, depending on your region. Weekly episode release schedule Weekly episode release schedule Episode Release Date Episode 1 July 7, 2025 Episode 2 July 14, 2025 Episode 3 July 21, 2025 Episode 4 July 28, 2025 Episode 5 August 4, 2025 Episode 6 August 11, 2025 Episode 7 August 18, 2025 Episode 8 August 25, 2025 Episode 9 September 1, 2025 Episode 10 September 8, 2025 Episode 11 September 15, 2025 Episode 12 September 22, 2025 Grand Blue Dreaming Season 2 is expected to follow the same 12-episode format as Season 1. What Grand Blue Dreaming season 2 is about Source: Crunchyroll If you're new here: Grand Blue is an anime about diving—but mostly it's about college life gone completely off the rails. Our boy Iori Kitahara moves to a seaside town to start fresh, only to be pulled into the wild vortex of the college diving club, where beer flows like water, shame doesn't exist, and every episode turns into a chaos Olympics. And yet… somehow it's also wholesome? That's the magic. Underneath the screaming, nudity, and absurd humour lies a surprisingly heartfelt story about friendship, growing up, and finding your place—even if that place is face-down on a tatami mat in your boxers. What's new in Grand Blue Dreaming Season 2 Season 2 continues right where the last emotional hangover left off. Expect more beach trips, diving mishaps, sake-fueled nightmares, and over-the-top reactions. Animation studios Zero-G and Liber are back, with Shinji Takamatsu returning as director, so the vibes, energy, and comedic timing are still on point. It's all about escalating the chaos—plus, new characters are expected to shake up the group dynamic (and possibly drink them under the table). The club's dive training arc is also set to go deeper (pun intended), adding more underwater scenes and actual diving facts between breakdowns.
