What Grand Blue Dreaming season 2 is about
Source: Crunchyroll
If you're new here: Grand Blue is an anime about diving—but mostly it's about college life gone completely off the rails. Our boy Iori Kitahara moves to a seaside town to start fresh, only to be pulled into the wild vortex of the college diving club, where beer flows like water, shame doesn't exist, and every episode turns into a chaos Olympics.
And yet… somehow it's also wholesome? That's the magic. Underneath the screaming, nudity, and absurd humour lies a surprisingly heartfelt story about friendship, growing up, and finding your place—even if that place is face-down on a tatami mat in your boxers.
What's new in Grand Blue Dreaming Season 2
Season 2 continues right where the last emotional hangover left off. Expect more beach trips, diving mishaps, sake-fueled nightmares, and over-the-top reactions. Animation studios Zero-G and Liber are back, with Shinji Takamatsu returning as director, so the vibes, energy, and comedic timing are still on point. It's all about escalating the chaos—plus, new characters are expected to shake up the group dynamic (and possibly drink them under the table).
The club's dive training arc is also set to go deeper (pun intended), adding more underwater scenes and actual diving facts between breakdowns.

Watch: Siddhant Chaturvedi Takes A Break From Chai And Says Hello To Matcha Cloud
Siddhant Chaturvedi, a true-blue foodie at heart, never misses a chance to jump on the latest food trends. His latest indulgence? A unique combo of coconut water and the hugely popular Japanese drink, matcha. In a recent Instagram video, the Dhadak 2 actor is seen whipping up his own version of the green goodness. The video kicks off with Siddhant straining some spoonfuls of matcha powder into a matcha bowl. He then adds honey, followed by hot water, carefully keeping the temperature around 175 degrees Fahrenheit, before giving it a nice whisk. Once the matcha is sifted and smooth, Siddhant gives it another round of whisking using a traditional bamboo whisk. Meanwhile, he blends what looks like fresh cream or yoghurt with ice cubes and the whisked matcha. Then comes the layering - the actor fills a glass with ice, pours in some coconut water and tops it with the freshly prepared green matcha mix. And just like that, the drink is ready to sip. After a subtle stir, Siddhant takes a sip of his creation, and the joy on his face says it all. In the caption, he revealed his love for the new drink, writing, "Waise toh Chai pasand hai lekin aaj ye kuch naya try kia (Although I like tea, but today I tried something new) and Unlocked a new Matcha recipe! It's sweet, strong, and a little stirred up - just like love." Take a look at his new matcha cloud recipe: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Siddhant Chaturvedi (@siddhantchaturvedi) Being a total food lover, Siddhant Chaturvedi keeps treating his fans to sneak peeks from his mouth-watering food diaries. Not long ago, he turned into a food vlogger to capture his mother, Meenal Chaturvedi, preparing a traditional Bihari dish for him. The doting mom cooked Litti Chokha, possibly his all-time favourite comfort food. In the Instagram video, you can see her offering him a bite of the dough before they are fully cooked. The final spread? A full plate of litti chokha served with tomato chutney, green chutney, and a touch of ghee. Read here to know more. Earlier, during a trip to Goa, Siddhant Chaturvedi gave fans a glimpse of his local food adventures. In his Instagram Stories, the actor shared a picture of an authentic Goan thali. The plate featured two bowls of matta rice, dal, aloo gobi and a crispy fried fish garnished with fresh coriander. Talk about a proper feast! Click here to know more.

When Korean Dramas open global doors: From 'Winter Sonata' to worldwide phenomenon
The Spark that Lit the Global Flame: 'Winter Sonata' and Japan's First Korean Wave Let's rewind to the early 2000s when a quiet winter romance drama, 'Winter Sonata,' subtly became a cultural phenomenon in Japan. It wasn't just a show-it was a bridge. Nearly 38% of Japanese adults had tuned in, and for half of them, this drama sparked an interest that flowed beyond the screen, inviting exploration into Korea's food, language, and culture. Suddenly, kimchi wasn't just Korean food on menus in Seoul; it was making its way into Japanese kitchens too. Korean coffee shops and drama-themed tours began popping up, and even Korean language classes saw a rise. This wave wasn't a mere fad. It rewrote how Korea was seen in Japan-from a distant neighbor to a source of warmth, stories, and even aspiration. Beyond Borders: The Global Surge of Korean Dramas What started with ' Winter Sonata ' quickly rippled outwards. Korean dramas ' global footprint expanded to places like China, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and even the West. Accessibility increased due to streaming platforms like Netflix and Viki, where subtitles in multiple languages made K-dramas approachable and binge-worthy. The themes resonated universally-love, family, ambition, and resilience-packaged with a fresh mix of stylish cinematography and emotionally rich storytelling. Shows like 'Descendants of the Sun,' 'Goblin,' and the explosive 'Squid Game' made K-dramas household names globally, sparking huge cultural trends and boosting Korean tourism exponentially. Shaping Culture: Language, Tourism, and Lifestyle Trends Korean dramas have been powerful cultural ambassadors. Viewers worldwide began learning Korean, inspired by their favorite idols and characters, pushing Korean language exams and enrollments to record highs - 40,000+ test-takers reached in 2021 alone. Their passion didn't stop at language; enthusiastic fans tried Korean recipes, wore K-fashion, and bought beauty products. Tourism boomed as well: filming locations became pilgrimage sites, creating million-dollar local economies. Just like Japanese fans flocked to Nami Island after 'Winter Sonata,' fans from the Middle East to Latin America began planning their Korea trips inspired by dramas. The Special Bond Between 'Winter Sonata' and Hyundai Sonata 'Winter Sonata' became more than just a drama-it turned into a love story for brands as well. Originally, Hyundai's Sonata wasn't well known in Japan, but thanks to the drama's Japanese title, "Fuyu no Sonata" (Winter Sonata), the car's name became familiar and approachable. Fans connected the drama's wintery style and elegance naturally with the Sonata car name, sparking genuine interest. Hyundai seized this momentum and pushed hard on marketing in Japan, achieving great success. Sonata sales rose sharply, and the brand's influence expanded significantly. This example served as a clear sign to the Korean government and businesses that cultural content can translate into substantial economic results beyond mere entertainment. Changing Perceptions, Building Connections: A New Chapter for Korea K-drama's global journey treated the world to a new Korea-dynamic, creative, and warm-hearted. Stereotypes gave way to curiosity and admiration. Studies showed that regions exposed to Korean dramas developed greater cultural understanding and more favorable attitudes toward Korea. For India's youth, just as in Japan or elsewhere, K-dramas act as windows into Korean life, forging cross-cultural friendships and understanding. The phenomenon encourages Indian viewers to embrace new languages and engage with global content confidently.

Co-actor Dibyendu Bhattacharya gives update on Anushka Sharma's long-delayed Chakda Xpress: 'It's her finest work'
It's been over two years since Chakda Xpress was announced with much fanfare as Anushka Sharma's big return to acting. Based on the life of cricketer Jhulan Goswami, the film generated massive buzz, but since then, there's been radio silence. While fans continue to wait impatiently, even those involved in the project are growing restless. Actor Dibyendu Bhattacharya, who plays a significant role in the film, recently revealed he's just as puzzled about the delay. Calling it one of Anushka's finest performances, he expressed hope that the powerful biopic will finally see the light of day—and soon. Actor Dibyendu Bhattacharya expresses confusion and eagerness for the release of Chakda Express, praising Anushka Sharma's performance. Dibyendu calls Chakda Express Anushka's best performance yet In a conversation with News18 Showsha, Dibyendu shared his own confusion over the film's indefinite delay, echoing the frustration felt by fans. 'You have no idea how eagerly I'm waiting for the release. It's a beautiful film. I saw it at (director) Prosit Roy's house, and even though it wasn't fully completed, it blew me away,' Dibyendu said. He didn't hold back in praising Anushka Sharma's performance either, calling it her 'best performance to date.' Asked whether the film has been shelved or postponed, Dibyendu admitted honestly, 'I don't know. I would've told you if I had any updates. But Clean Slate is on one side, and Netflix is on the other. What's going on between them, I have no clue.' About Chakda Express Originally announced in 2022 as Anushka's comeback film after Zero (2018), Chakda Xpress is backed by her brother Karnesh Ssharma's production house, Clean Slate Filmz. However, the company reportedly ended its partnership with Netflix last year, leading to delays in several planned releases, including Chakda Xpress. It is reported that Clean Slate might repurchase the film from Netflix to explore alternative release platforms, but no official statement has been made by either party.
