Synopsis

Iori Kitahara moves to the coastal town of Izu for his freshman year at its university, taking residence above Grand Blue, his uncle's scuba diving shop. Iori has high hopes and dreams about having the ideal college experience, but when he enters the shop he is sucked into the alcoholic activities of the carefree members of the Diving Club who frequent the place. Persuaded by upperclassmen Shinji Tokita and Ryuujirou Kotobuki, Iori reluctantly joins their bizarre party. His cousin Chisa Kotegawa later walks in and catches him in the act, earning Iori her utter disdain.

Based on Kenji Inoue and Kimitake Yoshioka's popular comedy manga, Grand Blue follows Iori's misadventures with his eccentric new friends as he strives to realize his ideal college dream, while also learning how to scuba dive.

A series that doesn't have a single boring episode.
You like drinking? Naked men? Good jokes?
I did enjoy watching the show so much. This has to be one of the funniest shows that I've watched so far. Even though the jokes were good the face impressions and animations made it the best.
The storyline was okay but still maybe pointless sometimes. But it did not really bother that much.
Also once in a while Main characters and supporting characters were really good. I mean Tokita, Kotobuki and other were as good as all of four MC's.
I am hoping for s2 as there would ...

There's porn with better "plot" than this. The comedy wears out its welcome around episode two. This is problematic when it's all the show has to offer. The characters...I can't even remember their names. Some of them are dudes, some aren't; that's pretty much all that distinguishes them.

The comedy is just a few recycled gags stretched across twelve lifeless episodes. Here's what the comedy looks like: close-ups of face, alcohol, alcohol + naked, and horny. That's it. That's really all you have to look forward to. Seriously stupid shit, and not the funny kind.

If faced with the dilemma of watching the entirety of Grand ...
