Grand Blue's coveted return has fans on tenterhooks, and the studios involved in the project should take full advantage of it. It is hardly a secret that holding on to the attention of the viewers is difficult, especially if the gap between the first and the subsequent season is longer than one year.

Taking too much time on a project can jeopardize the series' success, and the people involved in the production of Grand Blue should take note.

Grand Blue season 2 is set to be released in 2025.
