Now I'm really worried about Angelic Howl. Please God, don't let them fuck that up, too.

Too funny, it's not like Yumiko's route was any good to begin with but this was too good.
Would have been better off with no Yumiko route all together though, more episodes for Amane I imagine, which is always a good thing.

Remember the end of episode 3? Amane feeding Yuuji. Good. Now cut episodes 4-9 straight out of the anime, forget they even existed, and it looks like this:

1-3 + 10-13 = Much of common route and the only route they're probably going to not completely destroy, Amane.

Not that I plan to watch it, I already had deja vû once when I read it in the VN as it's a re-tread of a famous movie in the first place.

I was an anime-only viewer until Steins;Gate came along. And I still prefer watching anime adaptations prior to viewing the source material. Honestly, I enjoyed Grisaia a lot and since episode 3 decided to pick up the VN as well. I think many of you guys are being really harsh on anime adaptations lol.

For me it's usually this reaction: Yay! I get to see my favourite characters being animated with some of my favourite scenes!

If it was disappointing, I just pass it off with: Aw, I guess you can't expect everything to turn out good all the time.

Just, why so serious? It's anime, a form of entertainment. If you are not entertained, just drop it and move on. It kinda sucks when you are one of those who finds it alright just to have others calling it butchered. :(

We still dont know that yet. Keep yar expectations low lol.
All we know is: We are gettin' an obligatory Beach episode(could be OVA though) and that they dont mind showin' Meikyuu & Rakuen stuff.

We are likely not gettin' 4 episodes for Angel Howl, but yeah it would be good if we did.

Not really, if you look at my list, I watched Air after playing it, widely known as a bad adaptation, and still gave it an 8.

But this... This atrocity shouldn't exist.

My problem with a bad adaptation is that people who watch it will end up being spoiled on the events of the source material. This means that if they do end up picking up the source material it would lack the same impact that they would get if they played it blind.

If it's disappointing I won't just say it's not good and pass it off. I'd much rather share a much more in depth opinion on it. If I found it bad I have the same right to voice it as the people who say it is good.

And no even if I don't like it I won't drop it. I'm just interested in how bad they fuck up the rest.

Dont compare this worst case scenario with good stuff like Steins;Gate/Clannad AS/WA2/ F/SN/Z.

Being a VN reader I am saddened they rush it so much. If it was 24 episodes and the pace was slowed down I would like the adaption alot better.

Yeah I got frustrated at parts but, I remember why I'm watching this. I'm watching this because this is Grisaia no Kajitsu and I realy love Grisaia no Kajitsu. Whether rushed or not its still the same story I know and love.

The only good thing I can say was that there was no panty shots. Otherwise I am super sad right now. Yumiko didn't have the best route but it had a lot of feels for me. Why do so many VN I love (Majikoi, Umineko, Tsukihime) get shafted so hard by these 3rd rate studios... I'm gonna finish because I need Angelic howl, but I'm expecting to be sad next episode too.

I want to cry now ;A;

Wow. Dat pacing. I didn't think it was possible to adapt an entire arc into one episode but I guess that's one way to do it. I saw through the whole fake body thing but it was an interesting interpretation none the less. I'm not even going to touch the whole VN comparisons for this one but I will say that this was the strongest episode so far.

If I was a non-VN reader, I would say that it was a way too rushed chapter. Decent, but trying to put too much stuff without enough buildup. Unfortunately, I'm not and honestly, I don't even know what they're trying to do anymore.

Looking at the bright side, at least they got rid of that horrible route right away so they can leave more episodes for Angelic Howl, so is not all that bad.

I just had a brainstorm idea.

They are rushing the routes on purpose so that way they can add in more common route stuff at the end to give it a closing.

With 7 episodes left, they will rush the last 3 routes into about 5 episodes and leave the last 2 for common route. 1 of them will probably be the beach scene cause every anime has a pool and or beach scene. The other will just be their daily life and everyone is happy. Yuuji will then say he had enough then he will do his thing that start Meikyuu.

Wow, that was a fast-paced arc if you can call it that. And goddammit, I actually believed that Yumiko blew herself up. goddammit, I was about to rage.

And I dunno how I feel about the father. It's obvious that he kinda sorta cared at the end, but what about before the standoff? He seemed like a dick lol.

Well, whatever. Best girl is still live, and that's all that matters~

Thats y i keep tellin' all teh time: Dont expect 4 episodes for Amane as long as it isnt confirmed, we all know that would be too good to be tru. Though im expectin' moar Meikyuu & Rakuen stuff to sell teh vns.

Pretty intense episode.
But it all went a bit fast well i hope we get more Sakaki next week but i guess this was it, honestly it felt rushed.
And i feel things are unexplained.
I would have loved to see more of her.

Well the only arc that i am not looking forward to is Sachi, i have absolutely no interest in her at all (no offence to her fans).
I don't like her personality at all and it's like she is just there for the comedy.

So I've been reading the VN along with the anime and I just finished the Sakaki route today, only to end up watching this right after. I can't say the arc in the VN was particularly strong, but the anime version was hilarious.

Anyway, have fun attending the school owned by your father after faking your death Yumiko. I'm sure that will work out great...

I knew that they couldn't do Yumiko's route properly but I would at least expect more than a summarized background story to be put into the anime (I really wanted the turkey scene, that would have been intense and hilarious)

Since the titles for the EPs up until 9 were released, they're back loading the anime with Angelic Howl. I'm really hoping if they do anything right besides common route, it would be that. I have a feeling that Sachi's route's going to end up like Yumiko's.


Then Makina's will probably be on par with Chiruchiru's (which I didn't mind as much imo).

Now, if only they add the beach scene and other hilarious dialogue skits...

the anime took the first 10% of the story, and the last 10% of the story

everything in-between was cut out completely, hell the entire main arc of her route was plain non-existent

also they changed those last 10%... drastically... like to a hilarious degree
this was not even worth calling an adaptation, this was pure fanfiction lol

I've watched a lot of Visual Novel adaptations but this has to be the worst so far. First time ever squeezing a full route into one episode, and not even the original route at that.
