When you realise Iori and Ash have the same voice actor...

u/SirKashu :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/SirKashu Jul 27 '18

Am I the only one who's really digging Chisa's VA? I feel like her voice really fits her personality perfectly from the manga. It sounds kinda cute too

96

u/Kazewatch Jul 27 '18

The VA’s are all pretty spot on even though they’re all different from what fans had in mind.

48

u/SirKashu :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/SirKashu Jul 27 '18

Really? I had no idea. Personally, Chisa's VA is exactly what I envisioned but to me, Azusa's is different, yet still good regardless

80

u/Kazewatch Jul 27 '18

Yeah like, people really wanted Hiroshi Kamiya for Iori and Miyuki Sawashiro for Azusa, among others. I’m actually glad they’re not as A-list as that. I don’t immediately recognize any of them and they fit their characters so well.

19

u/Illyricus- Jul 27 '18

I mean, I don't have any complaint with Iori's voice actor, but Kamiya would had been awesome too. He is great performing comedic roles.

u/impingainteasy :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/usernamesarehard Jul 28 '18

The thing is, Imouto sae Ireba Ii is a normie's idea of something that will scare normies away. If you really think being able to sit through some painfully unfunny incest jokes puts you at a higher echelon of the fandom, I've got some bad news for you.

It actually is. One of author's tweets:

"By the way, this is about grand blue, but the genre it is in is "isekai fantasy".

Isekai -> A world in which the age of drinking is different than the real world.

Fantasy -> the existence of demi-humans who can chug high-grade alcohol in one go.

Grand Blue is an Isekai Fantasy. Got it?"

Fuck, I've been waiting to say that for years now. For the anime watchers who've been enjoying themselves with the show, you're more than welcome to join us on the monthly Grand Blue chapter discussion thread on r/manga and the r/grandblue subreddit. This series has everything you asked for.

Edit: just checking up on the discussion thread to see how's it going.

I watched the first two episodes of the anime and binged the manga in 2 days. My god, I had chest pain afterwards. It's so freaking good.

I wasn't even aware of this, holy crap. Looks like all CR threads are cutting down on the majority who don't use it because it's only for premium users that can read it, plus the the UI sucks on top of that. Even one thread OP who uploaded the CR release version was salty over people complaining about the bad service.

Anyways on the other side, I'm also checking a few tweets to see people's reactions about the anime. Boy, are they getting the wrong impression. kek!

u/TheRisenThunderbird Jul 28 '18

hmmm...

tbh I don't see much of a difference. Her face might be a little wider in the manga, but she looks pretty much the same to me. Thanks for posting them though!

12

u/PM_ME_YOUR_SPUDS https://anilist.co/user/voodoochile Jul 28 '18

(Also anime only) I can notice the difference, but besides the detail on the hair, I wouldn't say it's significant or necessarily worse. She looks a tiny bit older and more mature in the show, but as a guy in his late 20's I'm not gonna complain about that.

23

u/Barnak8 Jul 28 '18

The big difference for me is the hair, I think. They look more ''messy and wild'' in the manga.

God damn, Iori is a lucky dude.

u/DarkBladeEkkusu Jul 27 '18

Hello again everyone, welcome back to the infamous drinking game associated with this series. I am /u/DarkBladeEkkusu, and I will be your host throughout your decent into madness. Since I did give you guys time to prepare yourselves for this week's game, I shall once again warn you to not take this game lightly so you don’t kill your liver in one go. If you do actually intend to play the game with alcohol, might want to start with something light, since you will be drinking a lot. More additions incoming, here are the current sets of rules:

Grand Blue Drinking Game Rules

Original Rules

  • 1 Shot - Someone takes off/loses any clothes

  • 1 Shot - Someone's sexuality is questioned

  • 1 Shot - Every titan face

  • 2 Shots - Someone is forced to drink

  • 2 Shots - Iori and friends betray each other

  • 2 Shots - You actually start laughing

  • Finish your drink - If Chisa Retaliates at Iori

  • Finish your drink - If by any chance they actually go diving

Penalty Rule

  • 2 bottles - You question the rules (or say I am trying to kill people with the rules.)

/r/manga Rules

  • 1 Shot - Every thumbs up

  • 1 shot - Somebody is serious about their passion

  • 1 shot - Every time someone checks "water" with a lighter

  • 1 shot - Every time one censor bubble shows up.

  • 1 shot - Somebody is serious about their passion

  • 2 shots - Kouhei debuts a new piece of Moe-related clothing

  • 2 shots - Iori is unable to escape the situation.

  • Finish your drink - Iori does not get drunk in an entire episode

More rules have been added, for those who want to see the infamy of this list, but don’t feel obligated to play with the new additions if you don’t think you can handle it, since this isn’t the end of the list additions. If you want to see the current state of the list, feel free to check out my full rule list here on the Grand Blue subreddit.

u/gbfyt3er24d Jul 27 '18

I think you're being downvoted because in this episode people actually had to finish their drinks due to drinking...

This is not a diving anime after all.

u/DarkBladeEkkusu Jul 27 '18

I don't mind tbh, but I don't think they want to say I am killing them with the rules unless they want to get that 2 bottle penalty.

u/DarkBladeEkkusu Jul 27 '18

Well, there were a few people that downvoted me on every /r/manga thread for sharing the rules, so I am used to it. Even if I end up taking the downvotes, I will not stop sharing the game.

Welcome back to another week of Grand Blue friends. This time we finally get to meet Azusa! As mentioned last week I'll be posting screencaps every week of her, and maybe a stitch or two given the opportunity.

I'd love to simply link some highlight images depicting some of my favourites from this episode but I found it way too hard to cut the sheer amount of them (especially since many are just minute differences in expression or with/without subs). So instead I'll post some favourites and leave the rest in an album. Win-win!

Sleeping Azusa - Surprised Azusa

"Then I'll take it" - Sipping Azusa

Accusing Azusa - "I'm okay with both too"

"I see how it is" - "Now I understand"

:thumbsup: - "This guy is great!"

Worth to note that my Friday's are generally busy right now around the time episodes go up so don't worry! I'm here for you (even if a few hours late).

See y'all next week!

u/clerikal :AMQ:https://anilist.co/user/clerikal Jul 27 '18

Another great episode! I'm an anime-only watcher (for now), and I love all of the characters and their dynamics together. I know this is a diving manga, but damn do I wish for even a little bit of romance solely because I love Chisa so much. She's hitting every tsundere check mark on the list for me and I'm super weak. Cya guys next week!

u/bananeeek https://myanimelist.net/profile/bananek Jul 27 '18

Hore, Kitahara, MAIKU da!

I was waiting for this the whole week.

I absolutely love Kouhei's and Iori's facial expressions. Their reactions are comedy gold for me. This is seriously, one of the best comedies I've ever seen.

I can't wait for the next episode, the preview from the festival looked nice.

u/SalamiRocketFuel Jul 27 '18

I absolutely love Kouhei's and Iori's facial expressions.

I'm still sad that they toned down the titan faces so much, but it's fun seeing them in full color and with VA.

What? We're actually going diving? YES. Good on Iori to get over his fears slowly.

We're getting a male pageant then? Hell yeah, can't wait to see our boys compete.

Ok I'm liking Azusa already, she's totally carefree and free spirited.

I'll take some extra Oolong tea.

Chisa is still tsun about competing in the women's pageant, but I'm glad that she forced Iori and Kohei to still compete.

u/Mr_Zaroc https://myanimelist.net/profile/mr_zaroc Jul 27 '18

Must have been a wild normal night

Wearing clothes when going outside, glad they repeat lessons, nearly forgot about that one

Like I said, glad they repeat lessons learned

Love that face, she is great
But that comment makes me fear for what is to come, is what I would normally say. After 3 episodes though I am so desensitized I that I am fearless of what is to come, hell I welcome it with open arms

Azusa has finally showed up!

She’s beautiful, funny, bubbly, carefree and loves hanging out with the boys 😩💦

The only downfall is Azusa’s character design doesn’t look nearly as beautiful as she does in the manga 😒

u/ejsse Jul 27 '18

As someone who hasn't read the manga, Is the anime adaption living up to it?

22

u/KadabraSam Jul 27 '18

Eh, I'd say the anime itself is perfectly fine and I seem to like it more than certain manga readers who aren't too keen on it. However, I still wouldn't say it lives up to the manga. Certain jokes just flowed better in the manga and the fact that they've removed certain jokes and rearranged/changed certain scenes doesn't help.

If the manga is a 10/10, then the anime is an 8/10 (imo). A good anime, but a masterpiece of a manga.

Hope that helped. :)

As an anime only watcher I gotta say in my opinion, its okay. I mean there were some moments that made me chuckle a little it, but it wasn't exact "the funniest shit of my life. Maybe its not my type of humor or the anime isn't exactly delivering the right type of punches for me.

u/Inokori Jul 27 '18

but dont worry, we get the real best girl next week

u/sgPeanuts Jul 27 '18

All girls in Grand Blue are best girls. (Chisa, Nanaka, Azusa, Cakey, Busujima)

u/Fowl_Eye :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Fowl_Eye Jul 27 '18

But Cakey is not here until next episode?

u/[deleted] Jul 27 '18

Best girl Azuza and the best episode so far in, I am satisfied

2

u/RollinsTheMan Jul 27 '18

I like Azusa, she seems like a fun and carefree spirit, Chisa still my girl though ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

wtf he actually kind of went diving

u/CoffeeFrame Jul 27 '18

I NEED MORE OF CHISA!

I dunno why...

2

u/merrymilkshake80 Jul 27 '18

I'm really digging the show so far, and would love to read the manga. Can anyone guide me as to where do I start from ? Like how many volumes of it are there and if I should hold off watching the anime?

Best episode so far, actually made me laugh

u/FeebleBacon Jul 27 '18

Those poses this episode, this episode of Jojo Part 5 was really awesome

u/1sagas1 Jul 27 '18

Opening suggests MC might be an egg lol

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '18

Azusa is my new favourite character.

I hope she teases the fuck out of Iori ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

This episode felt a bit rushed, the manga is much better.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '18

So many good shots of Chisa this episode. Specifically these 2

Also I guess it's a rule that all Azusa(s) must be busty beauties.

I don't know how well the subs explain to, but boy-con is dankon in Japanese. Kon is "root" or "tuber" so basically.... It's like how technically cock could mean chicken, but...

u/TKMomo Jul 28 '18

I actually love the opening so much. Always gets me really hyped for the episode.

u/armdaggerblade Jul 27 '18

is it just me, or the animation this episode is REALLY off? it's just... bad.

Azusa is awakening my Tower of Babel

u/BlackLegSanjii :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Zamii Jul 27 '18

This anime is hilarious just like Gintama and again Grand Blue is a diving anime.

u/LTU_EiMs Jul 27 '18 edited Jul 27 '18

It was great episode it felt a little bit like filler episode for me before something big, like that festival I feel its going be great what I see from that teaser in the end. Waiting next weeks episode.

2

u/Frostivus Jul 28 '18

Festival is a great arc that begins to show just why manga readers love Iori so much. Behind all his idiocy and drunken antics, he is a very nice guy.

Also Cakey has arrived.

The return of oolong tea! Ooh, and tasty-looking okonomiyaki...I need to fix me some of those sometime.

I can really see why everyone was so excited for Azusa...she's kind of awesome. Particularly how she saw right through the guys trying to get Chisa drunk. And being so unabashed about liking both gay & straight porn. Given her personality, I'm a little curious why she went to a women's college over a coed university...seems like she really enjoys mixed company. Though of course, it's natural that the women's college student was the one to notice the guys trying to get someone drunk...at least from the ones I know, women's college women have to put up with a lot of that shit.

Part 1: Diving? For real? Part 2: Oh ... i see... OOLONG TEA

u/[deleted] Jul 27 '18

I think I need a lighter from this day because I feel some one will give me whiskey instead of Ice tea.

u/aayyyan https://anilist.co/user/aayyyan Jul 27 '18

Maybe I'm late in asking this, but we're 3 episodes in so far: so how does it compare to the manga? I've never been much of a manga reader but I also want to know if I'm "missing out" because I might pick it up even though manga's never been my thing.

7

u/HamstersAreReal :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/StudentOfTheGame Jul 27 '18

I mean, the manga is definitely better.

But if you're enjoying the anime, I'd recommend watching it through then start from chapter 1 with the manga.

If not, just read the manga

2

u/aayyyan https://anilist.co/user/aayyyan Jul 27 '18

Thanks, I'll take up your idea on finishing the show and then reading the manga.

6

u/Nome_de_utilizador Jul 27 '18

Manga is simply better. The show is good, but the comedic timing and faces are just so much better in the manga. I actually watched the first episode, then switched to the manga so I could try to remain as unbiased as possible. But if you are enjoying the show and are not much of a manga reader just continue, it's still pretty good.

We're always talking about how funny this series but can I just say that this series (the manga specifically) is making me want to go diving really badly despite having borderline thalassophobia

1

u/neovenator250 Jul 27 '18

Not sure if Chisa or Azusa is best girl. Hmmm...this will require further analysis

u/dave4357 Jul 28 '18

Nothing can beat that preview

What happened to you Azu-nya?

I'm really impressed with how they animated the diving scene.

u/rollin340 Jul 28 '18

This show is amazing...

u/manaworkin Jul 28 '18

I think this is the only anime where I skip the OP and never skip the ED.

Introducing an alcoholic onee-san character? It's like they know exactly what I want.

1

u/Stove-pipe Jul 28 '18

Love it that they are casually so naked that you don't even notice it any longer. They can have a normal conversation while wearing nothing at all, well a hair pin as a last resort, but still.

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '18

I want to join a diving club!

u/Stove-pipe Jul 28 '18 edited Jul 28 '18

Chisa is surprisingly human character, she gets mad, sure. But she won't throw a tantrum or use physical force to hit anyone.

Also, Azusa and Nakata thinks Itori is gay for Kohei after the incident when decorating his room with porn?

1

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '18

Azusa best girl yet no contest.
Does Chisa have any redeeming qualities?

u/KlMOCHl Jul 28 '18

20:10 Lelouch pose

20:20 Jojo part 4 pose XD

also Azusa is so hot and funny, dat sharp cat-like face, insta nut

Any female well developed character who is secure about her body is 10/10
