Grand Blue Dreaming is one of the most beloved modern comedy anime

The first season of Big blue dreams debuted on July 14, 2018 and ended on September 19, 2018. It had a total of 14 episodes. The anime is based on the manga of the same name, written by Kenji Inoue and illustrated by Kimitake Yoshioka. The Big blue dreams manga began serialization in Good! Afternoon, Kodansha’s seinen manga magazine, in 2014. So far, all chapters have been collected into a total of 22 volumes. The manga is highly praised. In fact, it has a rating of 9.03 on MyAnimeList, making it one of the highest-rated titles on the website.

Unfortunately, the manga’s success is not replicated by sales. According to the latest information, the manga has sold less than 10 million copies, which is a lot less than the other titles in the same genre. Fans will hope that the second season gives it the boost it deserves and that it reaches a wider audience.


Big blue dreams also received a live-action film adaptation. It was originally supposed to be released in May 2020, but due to the pandemic it was postponed to August of the same year. Audiences liked the film and received mostly positive reviews as a result.
