| well, that was interesting....wasn't expecting anything at first |
 |
| It isn't flawless in staying true to the Visual Novel. But I love how they nailed the general concept of everything. What's great is they also kept the music of the VN. What I disliked though was the added fanservice that did not exist in the VN. And they could of showed Amane's tits, I dont know why they hid that. They also added a few tiny quirks that weren't from the VN. And the ending was spoiling the secrets that we originally (the VN players) are supposed to find out later while playing the heroine's route. But overall, fucking awesome. |
| Yuuji is twice as cooler in anime than the VN. His VA is very suiting for the role. A basic intro of all the girls. Best interaction was with Michiru. Yuuji knows how to play with a tsundere. XD Amane fanservice though. :9 . How could Yuuji stay so calm and act so normal in such a situation? >.< Good episode. That ending though.. A lot of foreshadowing. Looking forward to how the anime handles the plot. |
 |
| That was way better than I expected. I really liked the atmosphere and character interactions. Reminded me of shaft sort of. |
 |
| Why, 8-bit. Why censor Amane's tits... I like that they kept all of the same BGM/seiyuus though. Really makes it feel more Visual Novel-like. No OPs/EDs with this adaptation though? |
 |
| Just noticed that this has character design by Watanabe Akio. Didn't notice til the tsundere appear. Dat fang. |
| male lead is voiced by [Sakurai, Takahiro] eh?-- lol i just came from watching the "ookami shoujo" anime that recently aired in which he also leads in. will definitely continue watching for alpha lead Yuuji. ending hype! this show's potential is superb right now. |
| Interesting 1st ep |
| bit more panty shots than I recalled from the VN but whatevs, not unexpected :> also dang didn't really expect them to do THAT much foreshadowing but at least it does in fact really really hint that they're doing all the routes one way or another which makes me very relieved, though of course this would also mean this anime's gonna have to be pretty damn long if they don't want to butcher it completely ah well anything's possible but at least no matter what the best heroine cast there ever was is finally on anime so I'm not complaining ^^ |
  |
| Tayasuimonogatri with blatant fanservice, a cold, bland self insert protagonist, and much, much more serious elements, which are unnecessary and hinder the comedic value. |

| I heard about the VN a couple of times but i wasn't expecting the development towards the end. Seems that none of the girls can be considered normal. I have the say the tsundere part was very funny, that girl had some nice comebacks. And the only thing i was disappointed about was the sensor. Will we get an ATX version or will we have to watch till the blue rays to watch this properly? |
| WHOA, like im currently playing the VN with about 20 play hours, and the first ep of this reveled stuff i didnt even know about,. Like i knew Yuuji kun was sometype of "ex soilder" or something around that. but i didnt know all the other girls wer bat shit crazy, makes me now wonder if everyone attending this school is associated with armed forces. x) def look forward to watching andplaying the VN/ |
| Seems fine adaptation-wise and not disappointing unlike what I expected. Well, enough of me talking about "I have a knowledge about this series because I already played VN" thing. As for this episode, I was more shocked than how I should be the moment I saw Yuuji naked. And I don't know if I should bother to wait for BD release because of censor but I want to see my glorious Amane. |

M3k4toku said: The art almost looks identical to the Monogatari at some scenes to be completely honest. Mc = Araragi Black haired girl = Senjougahara Pretend tsundere = Shinobu Because the Monogatari character art designer designed the Grisaia character art. |
| Well I'm gonna wait for the BD for this one. I need to see tits. |
Sweanime said: The englishlesson must be animated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ncADFZgvnk They better put in the Amane bed sniffing and running cadence |
 |
| Why do people freak out over censoring? All you didn't see was a pair of breasts, you can find that anywhere on the internet, big deal. Anyway, it seemed a promising start for a enjoyable VN. I do wonder how they are going to adapt it all though, and if it's successful, will they do the sequel VN? So far it look to be all the routes, guess we will just have to wait to find out. Well, Yumiko was my favorite heroine, so as long as her route is adapted well, then I'm happy. One thing I do like about this though, is that we have a protagonist that doesn't annoy me. The show could end up being a mess of an adaption, but I could still watch it for him alone. |
Vac said: Wow, I didn't expect so many spoilers in a discussion about a show's first episode. this. cmon guys, some people haven't read the vn. last i checked we were in anime discussion not talk about things that we want from the vn. also what censoring are you guys talking about exactly? all i see is bare naked yuujibooty |
| YES YES YES YES YES, This captured a lot of the feel of the Visual Novel , Super hyped. |
 |
| The end surprised me, to be continued.. |
| Great first episode. Doesn't the last two minutes practically confirm this won't be a 1-cour show? They basically confirm they're going to go with the idea of adapting all routes with all that foreshadowing, they wouldn't put that much emphasize on it otherwise. I mean all you have to do is think about it, even if they take the next episode to be 'relationship building' it wouldn't be enough to emotionally invest the characters, as it'd leave each heroine 2 episodes each for their respective route, which I severely doubt they'll do. Just my take on it, my personal common sense is more or less implanted with the idea that this will be at least 2-cour. The pantsu was a little over-the-top, but it wasn't enough to ever deter me from the scenes. The animation was gorgeous, and so fluid. Michiru's scenes were very well animated, her movements were fluid and lively instead of the basic static poses with moving mouths. Sakaki's introduction animation was jaw-dropping, Ufotable level. Foreshadowing was quite heavy-handed with Yumiko's little addition in the end, but otherwise couldn't ask for a better first episode, and I simply can't wait for next week, it promises to be something really damn good. Also, Sakurai Takahiro... So damn perfect for Yuuji, dear gosh. |

Gr33ncar said: im glad they kept the soundtrack from the VN, but why the censoring!!! WHY!! BD sales. Pretty fun first episode, main character is amusing. Blonde girl best girl, I mean come on she was holding a cat while pulling a cat face. Her design reminds me slightly of Hachikuji, which is always a plus I guess. Last minute of the episode was like... woah. I didn't even read the synopsis for this series lol. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |

| Well that went deep and sexual real fast. Looks nice and feels really serious. Still an eye-opener though. 0.0 |

Paul said: Just noticed that this has character design by Watanabe Akio. Oh so that's why it reminded me of monogatari characters. |
| I loled when Yuuji deduced that they were masturbating in a such a serious manner. Ludicrous-serious humour gets me every time. Didn't really appreciate how much they focused on making sure each heroine got a panty-shot but it's anime so ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Except for Yumiko. It's been a while since I read the VN so I can't remember clearly but maybe Yumiko isn't wearing any so they couldn't make the shot :P |
| The lighting for this series hurts my eyes. Already terrible like the Vns. At least, it won't be 50 hours. |

| Wait, only 12 eps? I think it just might be too short to cover all the VN. |
 |
| for first impressions, I like Sakaki Yumiko so far. the others are meh. |
 |
trannon1 said: Now, I will admit that Yuuji has a nice body and ass, but why is it that we see more of his ass than girls? Is this a new type of fanservice in a harem anime? To see he is well trained and his scars (cause of past), I guess. |

T3hSource said: umm maybe, and this might be a crazy idea, but the actual focal point of the series IS the serious elements. Maybe there's an entire serious story underneath to comedy.Tayasuimonogatri with blatant fanservice, a cold, bland self insert protagonist, and much, much more serious elements, which are unnecessary and hinder the comic value. |

| Freaking love how they used the VN's BGM in the anime as well. |
| “Are there some unseen roles that we have unknowingly set ourselves into, dictating the rules of engagement whenever we see each other, inevitably leading to us hurting each other?” |
| Gotta admit, I'm losing my doubt for a good adaptation after this episode. The hype, even though I finished the game a month ago. |
 |
| I like where this is going, the girls seems to be psychopaths. |
What the hell did I just watch?? Haha. For 80% of the episode, I thought that this was the worst and most generic thing that I've ever seen and was on the verge of dropping it mid-episode. And then in the last 5 minutes... I get an even crazier Senjougahara clone, an exhibitionist slut with huge tits and an insane past (and blurring/censoring galore) and another whole crew of crazies in the credits. Also, the MC is definitely Tatsuya incarnate from Mahouka minus an imouto that wants his cock (at least for now). I love the fanservice but it looks like we'll have to wait for the BDs before we can see the "good stuff". We'll see where this goes because I am now definitely interested. |

I really really liked this episode as well. That ending sequence gave me chills, especially with the BGM they put in. |

It isn't just the bewbs man. If you saw the point when it showed Amane near the end of ep before she said "found you" and it showed that scene it was also censored. I feel censoring can ruin the scene of any given moment and from what I remember of the VN some parts will be a little jarring if they censored it. |

| FUCK THE CENSORING well this was pretty mysterious, i'm a bit confused, too, but i guess that everything will be explained sooner or later good art |
 |
| Pretty damn good, and apparently well adapted so far. If it keeps up and is two cour I might just stick with instead of going ahead and reading the VN. Love the Watanabe Akio character designs, especially Michiru. |

Lancehot said: As an aside, this is the second show this season, after Transformers, that seems to be trying to blind me with its lighting effects. What's up with that? I swear every reflective surface, & not just Amane's boobs, was doing damage to my retinas. For those of you who don't get that much sunlight, it's probably better to turn down the brightness. |
| "whats so special about bonzai trees?" "They are the loli of the tree world." Inganock of the Brightest Flame |
| I think they're doing a good job animating VN scenes, and it didn't feel too rushed. It's cool to see and hear Yuuji. However, what the hell is up with the character art? They look SO MUCH WORSE than in the game, even in relatively static scenes. The animation is lacking as well, feels more like a quasi-animated comic book. It's hard to get the girls' charm across when it's this bad, especially the faces seem to lack detail and... life. Fanservice level was ridiculous, but that's just staying true to the source material. Actually they forgot to include the headteacher panty shot from the novel. |
