Grand Blue

[Kanon]

I thought that was pretty good overall. Not the kind of show that will leave a lasting impression on me though. Still had some good laughs, and there was actually more diving than I expected based on the comments.

[SeaDoor]

You know... there is more than enough material for another season. Just thought I'd mention that.

What follows this episode is some of my favorite chapters.

Spoiler for final thoughts:

9/10

It is good, yes, but there just isn't anything special about it that would make me give it a 10/10. Just a well-done comedy.
Oh, and the humor really is Baka-test. I mean, the same person is writing it, so this type of silly-guys jokes really is as expected.

Oh, and drinking sucks. But I like the anime enough not to deduct points for it.

[~Yami~]

oh so they closed this season with "we vowed to never let Cakey drink again" chapter... not bad

I like how they give us all personal moments between Iori and Chisa, Cakey, and Kouhei in the last episode

I really hope season 2 will come
There are still lots of wonderful characters that I want to see

Thank you for delivering the laugh every week

so the one behind baka-test is behind this one?, now that's why it was so funny but is not at the level of baka-test... yet.

Grand Blue goes down as anime of the season, and maybe even the year for me. It got me into the manga weeks ago and it's a shame that it ended before reaching some of my favorite chapters.

[4th Dimension]

While I'm a great fan of the manga, Grand Blue the Anime didn't impress me that much. Mostly because a lot of time it felt like recreation of manga panels with some bare bones animation on top of it.
It's not bad, but I preffer the manga quite a bit to it. What's worse is that I can't put my finger on my dislike... maybe some of the jokes that can work in three panels, here take too much time to set up and so loose the impact... which might be the thing, I think they didn't do enough to actually ADAPT it to the anime format.

[Psyco Diver]

I liked this one, unfortunately I'll probably forget it quickly BUT it will live on in the amount of Meme screenshots this show produced

[4th Dimension]

Just remember Vodka = Water. They are the same color.

[Tenzen12]

It's most realistic anime featuring collage life, that much is for sure.

I picked manga again so I don't really care anime ended, but it was fun ride.

and never forget to light a matchstick before drinking "water"... it might be flammable
and oolong tea = beer

[4th Dimension]

IF you are lucky.

They got me, I seriously thought Cakey was going to confess.
I will miss this show and all the fan service it provided (both good and bad).
Also remember, it's bros over ho's, or else.

Not an idiom I'd use here. Each one of them would walk over the corpse of their "friends" if it meant getting laid and would destroy the ones who try to get laid at the same time. It's them over everyone else. It'd be better for all of them if they helped each other, but they're too rotten for that.

More like "if we get hoes, no one is left behind".

Chisa finally realized it
