I guess it has an interesting promise. Looks like they are all involved with death or killing somehow... and the sister of Yuuji seems like a key that connect all of the students in that isolated school.

Can't wait to see how this series explains its own world, and why a lot of people like the VN.

And the bloody bright censors. >.<

I am surprised, I found this episode quite good when I didn't expect much from that studio. It had some Shaft feeling, still.

Even if they changed some things from the VN, it was still good. And I liked how they added those scenes at the ending, hinting about each girl.

Uhhhhhhhh. The hell is this?
This season ALREADY is fully of just really bad first episodes.
Is fall going to be a disaster season to follow how good the summer was?

Damn this was a great and enjoyable episode. I don't read the VN but this was awesome. The MC is the type i like! Sakaki and Amane are attractive as fck. Sakaki's is better imo not only her design but her VOICE <3 the ending was intense and epic, came out of nowhere. I thought it was going to be a romcom or something but it seems the girls know who Yuuji is and some history with him, DAMN SON.

For some reason, this felt like Bakamonogatari, the vibe it had.

So which route are they adapting?

For the people who are complaining, what the hell are you expecting exactly? I really think VN readers don't understand the meaning of "adaptation" and expect everyting to be exactly the same. If that's the case then there's no point discussing with them anymore.

Aw man. No "The Cicada Sisters" scene, that's one of my favorite scenes.

I don't know if I would call Amane's naked boobs "fan-service" since Amane does do that, its just how she is. I don't mind naked chicks, I'm not gay or anything, I only mind it when it doesn't fit within the context of what's going on and therefore feels unnatural, forced, and distracting. Amane doesn't mind completely stripping in front of Yuuji when she changes cloths and it says a lot about her character (like how she's a horny bitch) and it even has to do with her story.

I'm more surprised that Yuuji sleeps in his nude; if you're gonna complain about unnecessary nudity, that would had been something much more fitting to complain about. Then there's the those absolutely unnecessary panty shots, now those are TRUE fan-service. It would had bothered me less if the girls had deliberately shown it to him.

Judging by the opening, seems like they might try to fit all the girl's stories in. I have a bad feeling about that, its not even about a possible shitty harem route, its that there just isn't gonna be enough time. Unless they planning on skipping the entire common route, but the common route does a lot to develop their relationship with not just Yuuji, but the rest of the cast as well, and it makes you actually care about them.

The fact that they showed Amane last in the opening and put her a bit more centered than the rest does make it possible that they might primarily focus on her route. Usually the order in all other media of this series, including the opening of the game, goes Yumiko > Amane > The rest. The ending of the episode also makes it pretty much impossible to skip Amane's story, it simply revealed too much to leave things unanswered. It did not revealed nearly as much about the other girl's stories, though people might wonder what the hell Sachi is doing.

I don't remember the VN having ANY panty shots. It had explicit sex scenes and lots of sexual innuendos jokes, with a few being rather explicit, but I don't remember a single panty shot. The innuendos bother me a lot less since it shows something about the characters, that they're all growing horny teenagers, but the panty shots just makes me go, "Why?"

Hard question.

If they only adapt one route it means they forgo any sequel adaptations. Because the sequels retcon the first game, since there are no true ends and the sequel make it so that Yuuji solves all of the girl's problems and get on with the main story rather than in Kajitsu where he solves each girl's problem separately and only that girl.

So far, so good. Naturally they cut out some stuff but its to be expected from an adaption. Looks like they're trying to set themselves up to be able to adapt the rest of the series. Just hope this has enough episodes.

I am Satisfied...if this shit is not 1 cour it will be real good...They managed to give the "cool and weird" Yuuji image...In fact it may be more than enough,so much Yuuji ass...From the looks of it they prioritize Yuuji over Girls...He will be the star of anime as it should be...They kept VN OST's which is another big plus for me...

Woah, the animation was amazing. It really felt like I was reading a visual novel and not watching an anime (well, it is based off a visual novel)

I'm getting strong Monogatari vibes from this. Yuuji reminds me of Araragi, Yumikovreminds me of Senjougahara and Michiru reminds me of Karen.

The ending definitely intrigued me. I hope the rest of the show is as good as this first episode.

Those are two different things. VN had no panty shots and to be honest, in the animation it felt kinda forced.

Still, I really liked the first ep. The animation looked pretty nice and the story-telling/direction seemed pretty good to me. Especially Michiru's animations looked really nice which makes me happy since she was my favourite character in the VN^^ Also, the way the episode ended makes me think that I might actually like the anime more than the VN, which I didn't like that much (mainly because of the drama parts which mostly sucked imho).

Hope next eps maintain the quality.

So everyone is a psycho with killer instincts, funny. I'm not too fond on the characters so far, I also don't like stoic characters like that MC but I'll surely keep watching, after all I've seen far worst this season.

Also, Amane is already best girl.

Although I'm not fan of harem and ecchi I guess it's totally fine on this show because it has some plot and interesting characters.

I should have played the VN before watching this....or maybe I'll keep myself blind and watch it without any knowledge from the VN, and let's check my impression after that.

"Clearly" my ass. You have to look hard to even spot the panty. The "black on black" combination makes it hardly visible in the picture, unless you stare at her bottom. Look at her, she doesn't even consider hiding anything, because nothing (i.e. her panties) is exposed.

The skirt-flip panty shots in the episode, those are real panty shots. Even if you wanted to miss them, it's hard to.

I am pleased. So happy to see my rock hard faith in this actually be vindicated.

Granted, with all the rushing through introductions in the first episode, it wasn't going to be the best first episode ever, and that only makes it more impressive. To be honest, I think they could have omitted the pantsu and butt scoping to find room for the OP in this episode.

A little exasperated, but very very good.

I also have had the Grisaia no Kajitsu soundtrack as my alarms in the morning for 6 months, so when 'Orange Sunshine' started playing in the classroom I was grinning from EAR. TO. EFFING. EAR.

Dis gon be gud

Well, it is true that its extremely difficult to see it, and depending on the screen brightness and environment, it could be even harder to find it.
And there are considerably less panty shots in the vn then anime

I forgot: Were anyone disappointed with Makina and Chizuru's voice acting? IMO the prior doesn't seem even halfway as good as the amazing performance in the VN, and in the latter case it just sounds like they hired some Obasan from the local supermarket.

So, one of the biggest hypes of the season is here. Not bad at all. Really liking the dialogue and *service* for all types of fans.

I'm not too familiar with the characters and the story's background yet, only Michiru and Yumiko have gotten meaningful interactions so far. The music got all serious during Yumiko's part which seems to give off the impression that she's the main girl the story will revolve around, but she seems too much like White Album 2's Touma for me to appreciate. And of course they still have us in the dark about what kind of place this school is and what happened in the past, except with a few brief flashes of bloody stuff.

Very interesting, I'm glad I bought my tickets to this hype train.

Wow I'm pretty impress with the episode, the ending caught me off gaurd where everyone has a hatred towards Yuji and that accident that they have was pretty shocking.

I really love the MC in here, he has that badass personality when he was introducing the girls and his voice was so.... amusing. And the heroines in here have that great personality and I think there is not a single character in here that I hate. As for the show, I have that cinematic feel when I'm watching it on wide screen and animation and art looked very realistic tbh. The atmosphere in here was really dark, so I can expect some dark themes in here.

Great introduction episode, lots of foreshadows from that ending scene, my god I never expect this to be a great adaption from the VN.
