The anime industry is flooded with titles that focus on romance. Due to the incredible saturation, only good quality romance anime can stand out. Since the beginning of the decade, plenty of anime focused on the theme of love have hit streaming services, but one in particular has stood out, and it's none other than Blue box.
The anime aired in 2024, and it blew everyone's socks off with its story. After the conclusion, all fans wanted to know when they could expect to see the next season of the anime, and now, after a long time, the question has been answered.
Grand Blue Season 2 Release Window Confirmed
Grand Blue anime will return in 2025.
Blue Box season 2 release date has been confirmed
Blue Box Season 2 will return in the fall of 2026
According to the official report, Blue Box Season 2 is expected to be released in the fall of 2026. The exact month has not been revealed, but usually all anime that fall into this season air in October. So there is a good chance that Blue Box Season 2 will premiere in October 2026. When the series returns with the new season, it will likely cover the following arcs:
-
Yumeka's return arc
-
Confession arch
-
Relationship Beginnings Arc
Of course, the number of arcs may increase or even decrease if the anime adjusts the number of episodes. The first season had a total of 25 episodes, adapting nearly 80 chapters. If the second season is the same length, the anime may cover the Second Year Beginnings Arc, Prefectural Qualifiers Round 2 Arc, Second Year Fireworks Festival Arc, Second Year Nationals Arc, and Summer Beach Trip Arc.
Fans will be hoping that Blue Box Season 2 has 20+ episodes, but it's important to remember that a lot will depend on the studios. Telecom Animation Film and TMS Entertainment worked together on the first season, which is why the quality of the anime was so high. It is likely that both will be involved in the production of the second season as well, but it is unclear if they will have enough to work on so many episodes. So a second season of around 12-14 episodes sounds more reasonable.
Blue Box Manga is growing in popularity
Blue Box's anime adaptation has greatly benefited the manga. The anime has helped the series reach a wider audience, resulting in better sales. Based on the latest report, Blue Box Manga has sold more than 9 million copies, which is quite impressive for a romance manga. Hopefully the second season will drive sales even further.
