Grand Blue Dreaming

黒羽祐美 — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 09:58:42 +0000

To attend a university, Iori Kitahara moves into his uncle’s diving shop, “Grand Blue”, in Izu. The sound of the waves, the blazing sun, and living with his beautiful and cute cousins, Nanaka and Chisa Kotegawa, raise Iori’s expectations for his new university life. But what awaits Iori is a group of muscular guys who, when it comes to rock-paper-scissors, only know how to play “yakyuken” (strip rock-paper-scissors)…
Iori is targeted by the university’s diving club, “Peek a Boo,” soon after entering the university. Lured by Shinji Tokita, the president of the diving club, and Ryujiro Kotobuki, a third-year student, Iori unknowingly ends up joining a binge party as a member of “Peek a Boo”. Kohei Imamura, a good-looking but hopeless otaku guy also joins the club, and Iori’s university life unfolds in a way he never imagined.
Set against the backdrop of Izu`s beautiful seaside, the anime features the wild energy of university guys who love drinking, playing yakyuken and stripping naked. (it’s a far cry from a stylish student life) The story highlights the contrast between their rowdy antics and sincere attitude toward diving. This must-laugh campus comedy is still going on. The production of Season 3 has been decided!

Give It All

AT Admin — Fri, 11 Apr 2025 08:28:34 +0000

Mitsu Higashi High School is holding a school-wide rowing class match. While everyone is giving their all to the competition, the only person with a cool expression on her face is second-year student Etsuko Murakami. Etsuko has realized that there’s no point in trying your hardest if you don’t have any talent, so she’s always giving up on the competition.

Then one day, a new student called Riina Takahashi joins Etsuko’s class. Riina is so moved by the class match race that she enlists the help of Etsuko and her childhood friend Hime Saeki to revive the rowing club, which was on the verge of being disbanded. When two more students from the same year, Taeko Hyodo and Mayumi Imoto, join the club, making a total of five members, Etsuko, who had only intended to lend her name, reluctantly agrees to take part in the club’s first competition.

On the day of the race, Etsuko and the others are devastated by the gap between their ideals and reality. Just as they’re about to give up on reaching the finish line, Etsuko grabs her oar again. With Etsuko’s words, “I want to do better!”, the five of them become one.

Etsuko and the others now set off on the sea, with a shout of “Ganbatte Ikimasshoi! (Give it all!)”

“Give It All” is a youth novel set in Matsuyama that depicts the lives of high school girls who devote their youth to the rowing club. This anime feature film brings the universal appeal of the original novel to the screen, while changing the setting to the present day.

GIRLS BAND CRY

AT Admin — Fri, 11 Apr 2025 08:05:54 +0000

“Put all your anger, joy and sadness into it.”
The main character is a high school second-year student who has dropped out of school and is now in Tokyo on her own, aiming to get into university. A girl who’s been betrayed by her friends and doesn’t know what to do. A girl who’s been abandoned by her parents and is scraping by in the big city working part-time. This world always betrays us. Nothing goes the way we want it to. But we want to love something. We believe there’s a place for us. That’s why we sing.
A TV anime series produced by Toei Animation that features a real band. The story follows five girls with their own problems who form the rock band “Togenashi Togeari” and confront the absurdity of the world as they search for their own place in it.
The setting is Kawasaki City in Kanagawa Prefecture, a diverse city where people, things and events coexist, mix and fuse to create a unique form. By using a real location as the setting, the story reflects the atmosphere of the times and the city itself.
The visual expression is a full CG animation that uses the world’s most advanced illustrative look and full-frame. By reproducing the illustrations of the character designs by nari teshima in the animation as they are, and by achieving a high-definition expression with a greater amount of information than normal 3DCG animation processing, the charm and emotions of the characters, the musicality of the music, and the powerful and dynamic performance scenes have received high praise overseas.

You can feel and learn the history and the culture of Goto Islands here. Inside, you see anime backgrounds painted by Yamamoto, landscape paintings made by the art director, who grew up in the grandeur of Goto’s nature, and many other exhibits. To fit nicely with the atmosphere of the samurai house, the exhibits are framed on Japanesque folding
screens. Also, in the “Room of the Sky and Clouds,” you can watch short animations* seated on a sofa. (*The contents may vary.)
