The wait is finally over for Grand Blue Dreaming fans — the hit comedy anime has officially been renewed for Season 3, with confirmation that it will adapt the much-anticipated Palau Arc from Kenji Inoue and Kimitake Yoshioka’s manga. The announcement was made alongside a celebratory visual featuring Iori and the diving club preparing for their next big adventure under Palau’s crystal-clear waters.
The Palau Arc Brings a Tropical Twist

This arc is known among manga readers for balancing Grand Blue’s chaotic humor with more mature themes of passion, friendship, and personal growth.
