Grand Blue Dreaming Season 2 Episode 4 Preview: Release Date, Time & Where To Watch
Grand Blue Dreaming Grand Blue Dreaming Season 2 picks up with Iori Kitahara returning to college life and the wild antics of the Peek a Boo diving club.

Too sexy to show, or sexier not showing anything? Anime to air in audio-only on Tokyo TV channel
By Casey Baseel, SoraNews24 The anime adaptation of "Nukitashi" has been a long time coming. For the franchise's starting point, you've got to go all the way back to 2018, when PC game "Nukige Mitai na Shima ni Sunderu Watashi wa Do Surya Ii Desuka?" (meaning 'What Am I Supposed to do Living on an Island that's Like a Porn Game?' and officially titled "What's a Flat-Chested Girl Like Me to Do on an Island Straight Out of a Porn Game?" for its English release) was first released. So fans have been waiting more than half a decade to see the "Nukitashi" cast on their TV screens, and for some, that wait still won't have ended even after the anime debuts later this month, as one Tokyo channel has announced it will be broadcasting the anime's audio only, without its visuals. As you can probably guess from the full title, "Nukitashi" is an eroge/adult game, with the official website describing its setting and premise as: 'Seiran Island, a fictional locale where a controversial ordinance, colloquially known as the 'Doskebe Ordinance,' has been enacted. This law promotes and encourages sexual activities among residents, leading to a society where public displays of affection and sexual acts are commonplace.' ▼ Preview for "Nukitashi the Animation" So, obviously, adapting "Nukitashi" is going to involve the characters getting naked and otherwise engaging in sexy times. Not every broadcaster is going to be comfortable dealing in that kind of content, but the list of those who'll be showing "Nukitashi" consists of AT-X, BS11, Gifu Broadcasting System, KBS Tokyo, Mie TV, and Tokyo MX. AT-X will be broadcasting the 'Seiranto Version' of the anime, which the producers say is 'a perverted version with an extreme lack of censoring,' and identical to the eventual Blu-ray home video release. Meanwhile, a 'Fully Regulated Version,' with censoring, will be shown on BS11, Gifu Broadcasting Sysem, KBS Tokyo, Mie TV, and Tokyo MX's Tokyo MX-2 channel. In addition, Tokyo MX's Tokyo MX-1 channel will also be airing "Nukitashi," but, as announced through the anime's official Twitter account, the Tokyo MX-1 version will be audio only. So viewers, or maybe listeners is the correct term, will be able to hear the opening and closing themes, background music, sound effects, dialogue, and, presumably, all of the panting, gasping, and other hot-and-heavy breath being exhaled by the cast, but won't be able to see any of the associated bouncing, grinding, or other visual stimuli. It's currently unclear what will be shown onscreen in place of "Nukitashi's" animation, or if anything will be shown at all. The "Nukitashi" X account has posted a teaser video for the first episode featuring lines of dialogue with their corresponding text animatedly appearing on a white background. However, preview videos of this type have been around since at least 2010 TV anime "Angel Beats," so the "Nukitashi" video may or may not be indicative of what the viewing experience for the 'sound-only' version will be like. It appears that this will be the first time for an anime to air as audio only, and commenters to the announcement tweet have been both baffled and intrigued. 'Can you even call it TV anymore if it's just the audio? Doesn't that make it radio?' 'It's like MX-1 is broadcasting a drama CD.' 'I want to see how this turns out. I'm thinking they'll play the anime's audio over a weather report map or something.' 'In late-night blocks stations sometimes show scrolling text of headline news over pictures of relaxing scenery, so maybe they'll mix the sound in with that.' 'Couldn't they at least have shown the visuals with censor mosaics?' 'Isn't it going to seem even kinkier if you just hear the voices?' Regarding those last two comments, here's where the situation gets especially strange. As mentioned above, the Tokyo MX network actually has two channels, the primary Tokyo MX-1 and the sub-channel Tokyo MX-2. Since MX-2 will be showing "Nukitashi's" visuals and MX-1 won't, you might be assuming that MX-2 is a premium channel that you have to pay a subscription fee to watch, something that can get away with showing more sexualized imagery because kids can't find it just by flipping through the channels. That's not the case, though. MX-1 and MX-2 are both regular broadcast channels available to anyone with a TV in the Tokyo area to watch for free and with no subscription contract. The vast majority of the time, their programming is identical even. The only way in which one could possibly say that MX-2's programming is more cordoned off from the general public than MX-1's is how the channels are accessed. To bring up MX-1, all viewers have to do is hit the button for channel 9 on their remote control. To get to MX-2, though, they then have to press the sequential 'channel up' button on their remote. This extra step isn't really a deterrent, though, since most TV stations in the Tokyo area have such sub-channels, so it's not like they're hidden secrets, and something that you actually have to wade through if you're just channel surfing through what's on at the moment. So why the half-and-half approach for "Nukitashi" on Tokyo MX? The broadcaster hasn't offered any explanation, but theoretically one could say that the audio-only version is for viewers who don't want someone they live with, perhaps their young children, to wander past the living room and see the anime's cast entwined in whatever might be that week's specific lewdness. But…it's not like "Nukitashi's" audio is going to be family-friendly either, so unless you're listening to it via headphones, even the audio-only version isn't going to be appropriate to partake in while kids or those with delicate sensibilities are in earshot. Taking all that into consideration, it's starting to feel like maybe someone involved with the decision to air a sound-only version, either at Tokyo MX or on the anime's production side, realize that there's a segment of the potential audience that really would find being able to hear, but not see what's going on, sexier than the full audio/video experience. And hey, as a series that's all about encouraging people to enjoy fulfilling their desires, "Nukitashi" being willing to feed that need really wouldn't be so shocking. Both Tokyo MX-1 and MX-2 will begin airing "Nukitashi" on July 23 at 2:35 a.m. Source: Twitter/@nukitashi_anime via Dengeki Online via Yaraon via Anime News Network/Ken Iikura-Gross Read more stories from SoraNews24. -- Incest-themed TV anime sparks decency investigation.

The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity: Everything you need to know about the anime
By Aman Shukla Published on July 6, 2025, 17:30 IST Last updated July 6, 2025, 10:09 IST Alright, anime fans, buckle up! 'The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity' (or Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku if you're feeling fancy) is the romantic comedy you didn't know you needed in 2025. This gem, based on Saka Mikami's hit manga, dropped in July and has folks swooning over its sweet story and gorgeous visuals. Whether you're a die-hard romance fan or just dipping your toes into anime, here's the lowdown on Season 1—release dates, plot and everything you need to know. When Can You Watch It? The show hit Japanese screens on July 5, 2025, at 12:30 AM JST on channels like Tokyo MX and BS11. For those of us outside Japan, Netflix is where it's at. It started streaming in some Asian countries on July 13, 2025, and, as Netflix confirmed, it'll land in the United States and several non-Asian countries on September 7, 2025. Season 1 has 13 episodes—short enough to devour in a weekend but long enough to get you hooked. No English dub yet, so you'll be watching with Japanese audio and subtitles. If you're outside Netflix's reach, sites like AniWatch might have it, but check your region. What's the Story? Picture two high schools that are total opposites. Chidori High is a boys' school full of rough-around-the-edges types who aren't exactly acing their exams. Right next door is Kikyo Girls' High, where the students are all about class and prestige. These schools don't get along—like, at all. Mixing with the other side is basically a scandal. Now meet Rintaro Tsumugi, a Chidori guy who looks like he could star in a gangster flick but is actually a sweetheart who bakes at his family's patisserie. One day, Kaoruko Waguri, a bubbly Kikyo girl with a serious cake obsession, walks into the shop and orders enough pastries to feed a soccer team. Their random encounter turns into a friendship, then something more, as they dodge their schools' rivalry and nosy classmates. It's a story about looking past labels, finding your people, and maybe sneaking a few extra desserts along the way. Who's in the Cast? The voice actors are killing it, bringing these characters to life: Rintaro Tsumugi (voiced by Yoshinori Nakayama): The tough guy with a heart of gold. Nakayama's got credits in Fire Force , so he's perfect for Rintaro's soft side. (voiced by Yoshinori Nakayama): The tough guy with a heart of gold.

What to Expect in Season 1 The first episode, called 'Rintaro and Kaoruko,' kicks things off with their adorable bakery meet-up. The season's likely to cover the first 40 chapters of the manga, wrapping up around a big summer festival moment that'll have you grinning like a fool. Over 13 episodes, you'll see their romance grow, their schools clash, and the side characters steal the show, all while leaving room for a possible Season 2.

Now, the two roam London's darkest corners, determined to eliminate those who spread evil.
