Grand Blue Dreaming is a hilarious and entertaining anime series that was premiered in 2018. The show is produced by Zero-G studio and directed by Shinji Takamatsu. The anime is based on the manga series of the same name written by Kenji Inoue and illustrated by Kimitake Yoshioka. The series is a coming-of-age story that revolves around the life of Iori Kitahara, a college student who finds himself entangled in the world of diving in a small seaside town.

The show features a talented cast including Yuma Uchida, who plays the role of Iori Kitahara, the protagonist, and Ryohei Kimura, who plays the role of Kohei Imamura, Iori's friend. Both actors deliver outstanding performances, bringing their characters to life and making them relatable and likable to the audience.

The storyline is set in Izu, a small coastal town where Iori Kitahara moves to attend university after graduating from high school. Iori has always dreamt of living a college life full of adventure, fun, and excitement. However, he soon discovers that university life is not as exciting as he had imagined it to be. He finds himself living in his uncle's beachside shop and having to work part-time to make ends meet.

Things take a different turn when Iori discovers the world of diving. He meets a group of divers at the university's diving club, and they introduce him to the grand blue sea, which he falls in love with at first sight. The grand blue sea becomes Iori's escape from the dullness of his everyday life, and he discovers that diving provides him with the thrill and rush he was looking for.

The story progresses as Iori finds himself involved in various misadventures with his group of friends, who are also divers. The show's humor and entertainment stem from the characters' interactions and the comedy that arises from their situations. The characters are a mix of personalities, and each brings something unique to the table. There's Chisa Kotegawa, the beautiful and intelligent girl who Iori has a crush on and who he tries to impress by becoming a better diver. There's also Aina Yoshiwara, who wants to become a great diver regardless of her lack of experience. Kohei Imamura is Iori's childhood friend who's always pushing him to be adventurous and take risks. Finally, there's Azusa Hamaoka and Nanaka Kotegawa, two beautiful yet rather strange senior diving club members.

The animation and visual aesthetics of the show are stunning. The underwater scenes are breathtakingly beautiful, and the character designs are well-detailed and unique. The show's soundtrack complements the storyline, and the opening theme song, "Grand Blue," by Shonan no Kaze, is an upbeat and catchy tune.

In conclusion, Grand Blue Dreaming is a must-watch anime series for anyone who loves coming-of-age stories, comedies, and diving. The show's humor and relatable characters make it an easy watch, and the beautiful animation and stunning underwater scenes add to the show's visual appeal. The storyline is engaging, and the characters are entertaining, making the show worth every minute of watching.
