The anime industry is flooded with titles that focus on romance. Thanks to the incredible saturation, only high-quality romantic anime can stand out. Since the start of the decade, a ton of love-themed anime 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 blew everyone's socks off with its story. After its conclusion, every fan wanted to know when they could expect the next season of the anime, and now, after a long time, the question is answered.
Grand Blue Season 2 release window confirmed
The Grand Blue anime will return in 2025.
The Blue Box Season 2 release date has been confirmed
Blue Box Season 2 will return in Fall 2026
According to the official report, Blue Box Season 2 is expected to be released in Fall 2026. The exact month has not been released, but usually any anime that falls within that particular season airs in October. So there is a good chance that Blue Box Season 2 will premiere in October 2026. When the series returns with a new season, it will likely include the following arcs:
-
Yumeka's Return Arc
-
confessional arch
-
The beginnings of the Arc relationship
Of course, the number of arcs can increase or even decrease if the anime adjusts the number of episodes. The first season had a total of 25 episodes, adapting almost 80 chapters. If the second season is the same length, then the anime could 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 will have 20+ episodes, but it's important to note that a lot will depend on the studios. Telecom Animation Film and TMS Entertainment collaborated on the first season, which is why the quality of the anime was so high. It is likely that the two will also be involved in the production of the second season, but it is unclear whether they will have enough work for so many episodes. So a second season with around 12-14 episodes sounds more plausible.
Blue Box Manga is growing in popularity
The Blue Box anime adaptation of the manga benefited greatly. The anime helped the series reach a wider audience, leading to 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 push sales further.
