Grand Blue is here! Anime is saved!
It took a few minutes to get going, but once it did it had me laughing my head of for the rest of the episode. It’s not quite up the level of the original manga, but it got the comedy and the timing right and that’s all I ask for. Poor fellow up there being chased by two beefy nude blokes is our protagonist, Iori, who hoped to make a fresh new start in college, but any hopes for a happy college life disappear as he has the misfortune to encounter the uni diving club — who so far have only been diving in alcohol. Resist as he might, Iori soon shows his own idiotic side as he gets involved in their drinking games…
Whether you’ll like this or not depends on whether you can laugh at seeing the exact same “guy gets tricked into drinking something that looks like water, but isn’t” several times in a row. For some it just reminds them of awful experiences in their own college life. Me, I laughed.
