Grisaia no Kajitsu

[MasterOfMoogles]

Just finished this up.
Having only played the first game, I really liked the rest of the anime. There was clearly a lot rushed and left unexplained. The final fights were horrible, but the lead-up to it was fantastic.

I have a hard time imaging how they go from a multi-arc/no true-end first game to the followup, so I certainly understand why they did what they did with the first season. It probably would have gone over a lot better with a few more episodes, though.

Sniper Makina, Combat Sachi, Useless Michiru, and Genius Kazuki all the way. Screw the rest of the girls.

Kazuki has an awesome sense of humour. That's clearly a shared genetic trait between her and Yuuji. Such a fine big sister, even if she looks like a younger sister.

The story was largely nonsensical in Eden, especially compared to Labyrinth, but it was entertaining enough. Naturally Kazuki being alive and well was the best part of it.

Just watched all of this, I assume... (Grisaia no Kaijutsu 13 episodes, Grisaia no Meikyuu Special, Grisaia no Rakuen 10 episodes).

I have to say I really enjoyed this even though it's a harem, something I'm not fond of. But the way they worked things out in this series actually worked quite well for me. I also enjoyed how they pushed the envelope quite a few times, and didn't shy away from being graphic. I watched Bluray versions, so not sure if it was censored during the tv versions you guys may have watched.

I have a soft spot for main characters similar to the Sagara Sousuke mold, which honestly doesn't seem to be a trope that is as often exploited as I would like for my tastes (we're getting more FMP soon!).

Also, seems like a new series is being made Grisaia Phantom Trigger, but seems to feature a full new cast of characters. A bit ambivalent on that regard. I thought the Grisaia Trilogy ended well and resolved what it had to resolve, so glad we are not turning back into that sequence and potentially ruin a series that had very good closure (hard to find). With that in mind I'm glad this new series is going its own way (with maybe some cameos?)

Just the same, since it's a new group of characters, not sure if they'll effectively get me into the series knowing the group that came before it, will be hard not to compare. We'll see I guess.

I'm playing the VNs for Phantom Trigger. Didn't know an anime was planned. I have to say that the Grisaia VN, outside of Rakuen ending parts, is much, much better than the anime.
