A key visual for the upcoming Grand Blue Dreaming<\/em> Season 2<\/a> anime has been released.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visual was released on May 24 JST and made to be “diving-like” due to the date being commemorated as Scuba Diving Day in Japan, a result of Japanese wordplay making the numbers sound like the English words “Go (5) To (2) Sea (4).” (Another given reason for May 24 being Scuba Diving Day is geologist and oceanographer Robert Sinclair Dietz introducing diving equipment to Japan on that date in 1953.)<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
