The highly anticipated second season of the anime series Grand Blue Dreaming has reportedly suffered a significant leak, with all twelve episodes becoming available online on piracy sites shortly after its official premiere on July 7, 2025. This incident has unfortunately overshadowed the return of the popular comedy series, which fans had awaited for seven years since its first season concluded in 2018.
Premiere and Anticipation
Grand Blue Dreaming Season 2 officially premiered on July 7, 2025, with new episodes scheduled to air every Monday on Crunchyroll, which is also streaming the anime internationally. The season was expected to run for 12 episodes, with its finale originally set for late September. The series, known for its comedic adventures of Iori Kitahara and the chaotic antics of his university’s diving club, was one of the most anticipated sequels of Summer 2025. A new trailer featuring the ending theme song was released in April 2025, further building anticipation for the new season.
Details of the Leak
Reports confirm that all twelve episodes of Grand Blue Dreaming Season 2 were leaked online by an unknown source. The leaked videos are reportedly of low quality (480p) and do not feature subtitles, suggesting the leak may have originated from a Japanese streaming platform. Neither Studio Zero-G nor Studio Liber, the animation studios responsible for the series, have yet issued a statement regarding the leak.
Adding to the impact, the leaked final episode of Season 2 also reportedly revealed that a third season of Grand Blue Dreaming is already in production. This premature revelation has unfortunately spoiled a planned surprise for viewers who would have watched the season through its official release.
Broader Implications
This leak is part of a growing trend, as several other highly anticipated anime titles have also faced similar pre-release leaks in recent times. This includes incidents involving major streaming services like Netflix and Crunchyroll. The anime community has expressed dismay, and concerns have been raised regarding security vulnerabilities within Japanese streaming companies and production studios. Fans and industry professionals are urging viewers to support the official release of the anime on Crunchyroll to mitigate the damage caused by piracy.
