I'm officially the biggest Grisaia fanboy ever. The first episode was perfect, that ending was even more than perfect, gave me shivers. The direction was also beyond perfect.

The animation had a bit of quality but was really lively, I loved it. The art was magnificent as well.

Next week now please!

No clue what the hell is going on or what this is about.

Will the fan service hit gratuitous levels?

Also, this reminds me of a cross between Bakemonogatari and Akuma no Riddle.

This was a rather fine first episode. There was a massive amount of panty shots, but I'm sure glad we had a nice view of that Juicy Yuuji ass. We've even got a couple monologues.

So hyped for this XD Animation takes a bit of time to get used to but overall its quite good. The ending is awesome, especially if you played the VN. Really hope they don't mess this up, given the length of the VN (+50 Hours) I really hope they don't try to cram it all in!

I loved finally getting to see this animated, but I'm still iffy on it because I don't know how many episodes it will be. If they showed all that stuff at the end, I would think that they are planning to adapt all the routes. Also, I don't remember the stuff with Sachi and the gas mask being in the first game, and I don't remember the bombs appearing this early either.

Makina's fruit is still wrong too if that scene at the end mattered.

Really interested in seeing how this will be done.

I'm pretty sure F/SN is longer than Grisaia no Kajitsu. Muvluv Alternative alone is most likely longer too... or just as long to say the least.


Fate/Stay nights script size is 3.85mb and Grisaia no Kajitsu's is 3.73mb so they are about the same size

MuvLuv Alternative's script is only 2.73mb making it around 25% shorter than both of those

that of course is the pure script text for when you pull it to translate so it's just comparing script sizes... how long it takes someone to personally read will vary

So Hyped for this! XD Seeing Sachi and Michiru animated is awesome. The quality of animation takes a bit of time to get used to, but it is okay overall. I was expecting a lot worse this being a VN adaption.

I just hope they don't try to cover all the routes as the VN was a humongous +50 Hours. While I do expect a lot of things to be missing, I really hope they don't cram it all into a 12 episode season.

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't that good either.
The last few minutes were amazing, but the way the characters are drawn is very sloppy-ish. Yuuji has way too many muscles (like wtf was that scene even, lol) and the problem isn't even the fanservice but how it was done.. it wasn't entirely bad but not very good either (it's that.. "in your face!"-fanservice @_@)
I do think the directing was quite good, everything important was in there... a bit too much foreshadowing though.
I'm just really afraid they will rush things too much...

Was a little surprised that the art looked similar to the Monogatari series but it looks very generic so far, characters didn't surprise me and garbage pandering with useless panty shots. Got a little interesting towards the end but I don't expect much. 6/10

This is actually quite interesting so far. The soundtrack (it was mostly quiet though) seems to be rather good, the art and animation are quite nice as well. The ending left quite a wtf-feeling, but we'll see.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Damn. I have only played Sakaki route so far (and haven't finished it yet) but after those flashbacks I'm sooooo playing through it. I like the animation (although they went overboard with pantyshots). And that ending... This is the first time I see an anime based on a VN I played air... and it feels surprisingly great!

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.

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.

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
