If you're looking forward to Granblue Fantasy: Relink and you want to get in the mood for some sky island adventure, Cygames has your back. The company's English YouTube channel has uploaded the first seven episodes of the Granblue Fantasy anime, suitably titled Granblue Fantasy: The Animation. It first aired in 2017, and it adapts the core storyline of the original Granblue Fantasy mobile game.
The storytelling's a little stiff and the pacing's a bit hit and miss, but it's a decent show overall, and it features some lovely artwork and animation. These episodes have Japanese voices, but you can enable English subtitles through YouTube's player. Probably worth a shot, especially if you plan on playing Relink with limited knowledge of Granblue Fantasy's world.
Judging by the above tweet, we're only getting those first seven episodes, which is a shame. Season 1 has a total of 12 episodes, but we don't think the full thing is available to watch online ā at least, not in the west. Season 2, however ā which is another 12 episodes ā is on Crunchyroll.

Thats cool I guess. Gives me something to do in the chilly friday afternoon.
@Coolmusic Not sure if you watch subs or dubs or both but Season 2 of this never got a dub and that's why I dropped it.
I'm wondering if taking the time to watch this is worth it or not. I'm gonna get the game and I wonder if the anime might hint or perhaps even spoil something in the game. Or perhaps the game assumes you've seen the anime? š¤·š¾āāļø
I watched Season one years ago which was English dubbed but never got round to season two as they never dubbed it. I wonder at what point in the anime does this game follow from, since most of the characters you can play as you don't even meet properly in season one.
@MrMagic : I usually only watch dubs if the ENG voices are any good.
That said, I only seen the original version of the GBF anime and have yet to watch the dub but I assume its using the same ENG cast from the games, I find them quite alright.
This is also the first time Iām watching episodes in full, as I only seen some clips before.
I'm pretty sure the game will just re-tell the same story going by what they've shown so far.
