Grand Blue
Best Slice of Life Anime You Can Watch Right Now
It’s not often that a slice of life anime doesn’t revolve around high school. In Grand Blue, Iori Kitahara is a freshman at Izu University. The university sits in the quiet seaside town of Izu, and it is here that Iori moves into his uncle’s scuba diving shop, Grand Blue. With a new lease on life, Iori sets out to realize his ideal college life. Yet, even with a life filled with good friends, beautiful girls, and the vast ocean, things aren’t quite like he expects, for better or worse.
Despite its coming-of-age premise and the passionate opening, make no mistake, Grand Blue is an all-out comedy. And yet, anyone who has gone through university life may find a lot that’s appealing about this show. From getting naked in the pool together to orchestrating a desperate attempt to cheat the upcoming exams, it’s about living life to the fullest as much as it tries to make you roll over laughing.
