Grisaia: Phantom Trigger The Animation - Stargazer

Huffft,
seeing this on my free time, since my last phantom trigger was this ones strongly talking just about Shishigaya Touka and Kumashiro Megumi. they booth had same spotter that just recently <dunno man, it's spoiler>.
so in this ones they show how the touka and megumi can become friend. or the last mission before megumi joined mihama, because found out that some of mihama member's was from St. Aile. so if you guys wondering why "some ppl using nun-type" clothing, they from St. Aile. and the people who use normal clothes was from mihama.

before i talk too much and put spoiler on here, i just ... want to said that this ones worth to see, since grisaia series seems goes to phantom trigger now. and they somewhat have connection on original grisaia series, so if u interesting you can watch it, from how it seems, i think they will had "suprise" sub story like this more in future, so i sure this ones really worth to see before you guys watch the real series around this year (i mean the series, while this ones "stargazer" was movie)

and as always, Style of animation was wild. detailed, bold and "immersive" enough to enjoy if you like somehwat good animation on anime.

Another movie in the series and I guess I shouldn't, but I watched it anyway. At least I know what to expect. So, were my low expectations met or were they delightfully shattered? Well...

- Story & Theme
It's a school trip, but surprise; it's also a training camp, but surprise; another school will also be there, but surprise; there are even more complications. This exposition takes up about a third of the movie during which time nothing else really happens apart from them travelling and talking. You know the old phrase "show, don't tell"? The writers of this didn't. Also, there is no tension at any ... point since the young girls who are attending assassination school do everything perfectly.

- Characters & Writing
The same characters are here that were in the previous two episodes, but we also get a bit of interaction with Thanatos from the earlier series. There are a few new girls from the other school as well. Because apparently only young girls are fit for covert ops. Also they dress as nuns, even on mission. Long wide dresses are apparently good for sneaking around unseen. And their garments are bullet proof. The only thing the teacher hired in the previous story does throughout the movie is to be surprised that the girls at an assassination school talk about weapons and eat chicken. Some characters almost have some development going on, but it's not enough to mention.

- Style & Presentation
Still the same. Fine but not noteworthy.

- Conclusion
This movie advances the franchise from the "cute girls doing violence" genre into the "cute girls doing violence without any stakes" genre. It's OP boring with surface level relationships and a few more tragic backstories that try to fill in the void of not have any interesting characters. So no, my low expectations were not subverted or shattered but instead pretty much exactly what I got out of this.

(Quick Review)

Another movie for this series was good and but still gets a 6 for it.

Story 6/10- So after what happened before in the series with how Mihama Academy is now a school for teens to become assassins which I still think it's weird and it does get weirder where nuns are also assassins which is another weird one for this series but we see how the academy joins with another school I think where they want to assassinate someone which they need to go to an island to do there mission. There was another mission taken place before there's which had a girl ... named Megumi who lost her friend and who was her tutor during that missions and hasn't left the island since she is wishing to kill that man for killing her friend so the school she goes came to take her and to finish off the mission with Mihama Academy and that she is also linked to Touka, a sniper who were also friends with the person that got killed on that previous mission. So this was an ok story for the movie but wasn't really interesting for me but was fine in most parts of it.

Art 7/10 and Sound 6/10- All the same as before, art was really drawn well like the last movie which was a set from the original Grisai series and that sound was fine and that when their mission had stated, it really got the ost building up to give more tension within the movie.

Character 6/10- Not many new faces were shown except for that girl named Megumi who we see just wants revenge and the other school who are nuns and which is weird but are assassins during their mission. Touka and Megumi both are friends with Shiho, their friend and master who had died so it was kinda interesting to see how both of them meet and how they are similar to each other with their sniping skills.

Enjoyment 6/10- This time, the movie wasn't like the previous one so it gets a 6 but it still got one or two funny moments and it was cool seeing the students get into action again in their missions since we see their skills on how to kill each of their targets.

Overall 6/10- So 6 since it wasn't like the previous movie but was still good. Don't if this series will continue for being animated from the game but maybe I might the visual novel to see what happens.
