Few
comedies manage to capture the sheer insanity of college life like this
franchise, where diving is often a simple excuse to end up naked and in an
alcoholic coma right on the beach. The production committee made official this
Wednesday the release of its third promotional video, confirming that the
premiere of this third season will take place on July 6. For this new
stage, the madness leaves Japanese lands for the first time to move the stage
directly to the paradisiacal beaches of Palau. The video trailer allows us to
listen to a fragment of "Natsuko", the opening
performed by the band FUNKY MONKEY BΛBY'S, and reveals that the ending will be
titled "Hadaka no Mermaid" (Naked Mermaid), performed
by the idol group MAMESHiBA NO TAiGUN under the peculiar
production of comedian and actor Kuro-chan.

About
Grand Blue
Grand
Blue is a
manga by Kenji Inoue and Kimitake Yoshioka published
in Good! Kodansha's Afternoon since April 2014. The first
season of the anime arrived in July 2018, and the second concluded in September
2025. The story follows Iori Kitahara, who moves to a seaside town
for college thinking romantic adventures and a dream college life await him.
What he finds is a dive club full of adults who have no shame, industrial
amounts of alcohol, and situations that consistently defy any reasonable
expectation. The series built its reputation on that specific chaos, and the
third season takes it outside of Japan for the first time.
