Grisaia: Phantom Trigger The Animation

Following the Heath Oslo incident, the existence of the US-Japanese anti-terror organization CIRS has become a matter of public knowledge. CIRS has been rebuilt from the ground up, and its most covert functions spun off to a new agency: SORD (Social Ops, Research & Development).

The goal of SORD is to train a new generation of operatives to defend the country against future threats. To that end, the organization has established a series of schools up and down the country. Mihama Academy, more-or-less left to rot after its abrupt closure, has been given new purpose as one such 'specialist training school'.

This new incarnation of Mihama Academy is home to a diverse group of students, who every day work to polish their unusual skills – sometimes on the job. Mihama now entrusts the misfit girls who attend it with guns and live ammunition.

Paying their own safety no heed, these students are again and again plunged into dangerous extrajudicial missions - all for the good of the realm.

"We've been provided with a place in the world. That alone isn't enough - there wouldn't be any meaning in living, if that was all we had... It's not enough just to be made use of by others. I live by my own strength, and I fight to survive. That's the only way those of us who actually make it through can find forgiveness..."

No matter how much life grinds them down, what future awaits these girls, who've themselves chosen the path of the gun?

This anime is disliked and dropped off by many Grisaia series fans and some of the reasons are that it isn't a continuation of the Grisaia series or doesn't contain characters from the Grisaia series like "omg where is Yuuji?, ok rate 0/10 done." which I find quite unreasonable since it is indeed quite an acceptable and can be enjoyable to watch.

Ok, from what i understand, at Mihama Private academy a school for assassins has new 4 students, a class president, a homeroom teacher and a principle where they are assigned a proper mission to assassinate or capture a target which is different from ... the other Grisaias as they kill people to solve a problem or to save someone. However both of the shows also contains some similarities such as the epic fighting scenes and how there is still a sniper.

Also, I wouldn't think that this isn't a continuation of the Grisaia series because I think this is happenning while Yuuji is having his harem time on the island shown at the end of Grisaia no rakuen right? And lets be honest, even if the Grisaia series continues with the same character the whole story would just entirely be about harem and ecchi stuffs anyways so I think starting off with a new set of character can be a good choice as well. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that it is wrong to dislike this show because I don't think it is the best show as well, I'm just saying that if you dislike this show you should have a better reason than disliking because your favourite set of characters is no longer in the show.

This concludes my review of the show "Grisaia: Phantom Trigger The Animation", Thank you for reading

Mixed Feelings

In this movie, we do not find the same characters as in Grisaia no rakuen. Consequently characters who made the grisaia’s show like yuuji are really missing.
This show is just 40 minutes of uninteresting and predictable story. One more time all the characters are girls (except Aoi) and story is then filled of fan service and unnecessary scene that made the show a bit boring.
This movie is clearly bad compared to its predecessors.

The only positives aspect are: the animation that is well done and the music that I find interesting.
Dissociate from grisaia no rakuen, it makes a good original story, but in the grisaia’s ... universe this wasn’t necessary.

In the first movie, the story take place several years after grisaia no rakuen event. We follow the story of many students of the Mihama academy, a “secret” school where the government trains assassin. The story begins after the arrival of a new teacher.
This teacher is going to be in charge of the SORD. After witnessing a traffic, this teacher will be kidnapped by a criminal organization, so his students will leave to save her.
The story seems interressing but the action goes too fast, we do not have time to enjoy it.

Preliminary (1/2 eps)

"I want to watch Assassination Classroom."
"We have Assassination Classroom at home."
*Assassination Classroom at home*:

This is the "I've read this anime's wiki on toilet, let's make a semi-sequel." type of deal
What I loved about Grisaia series was that it was about broken people trying to help each other and this has just bootleg copies of said characters that perhaps do not need help, dunno, did not make it that far because it was not interesting whatsoever
You have bootleg Yuuji with long hair, bootleg Makina with the initial Yumiko's demeanor, bootleg mix of Amane and Michiru, bootleg Sachi with administrative side of Yumiko and the ninja girl ... from Trinity Seven

Making a sequel to a completed series is a hard thing, I get that. But this ain't it, chief
You quite literally could replace these new characters with the old cast and just say that they ended up wanting to help people instead of living on an island and it would be an improvement
Or you could've made a series about a bunch of broken kids in high school with traumas, it would be more akin to what was the Kajitsu part of Grisaia
But nope, let's make poor man's Assassination Classroom but bigger! Assassination High School! Hell yeah! Miss me with that

If you've liked Grisaia no Kajitsu/Meikyuu/Rakuen then this thing is most likely not for you. If you want a generic action high school anime, enjoy I guess
I even rewatched the whole Grisaia series because I thought I am gonna get some new content, instead I got this
Not gonna rate individual parts like animation or story because I cannot be objective about this and subjectively? This is an absolute failure. Gonna leave it with overall score of 3 because the poor description suits this best. Poor man's Assassination Classroom
