wow the animation is really good. The animation has a the Visual novel feel.
Seems like this is going to be a interesting story.

Holy shit, it actually turned out to be good. I didn't expect that serious stuff at the end, and it actually surprised me in a good way. Coming from the VN, I never thought I'd see the anime take on its own flair in a way that actually makes me want to see more.

8/10 keep going, 8bit.

Yeah Yuuji... That's exactly what they are doing.

Having read the Visual Novel, this was actually a pretty good adaption of the first few hours. The comedy is pretty hit and miss, but it hits pretty hard sometimes. And Yuuji's a pretty good MC (His reaction to seeing Amane half naked is pretty much the opposite of what usually happens). The direction was pretty nice actually. It felt like I was watching a movie.

The art almost looks identical to the Monogatari at some scenes to be completely honest.

Mc = Araragi
Black haired girl = Senjougahara
Pretend tsundere = Shinobu

way too much fanservice and moeshit. could still be alright if they make the common route 1- 2 episodes long, adapt part of the character routes, then skip straight to rakuen and remove the last part. the VN series was disappointing enough.
and the bgm is different? i don't remember it

The animation is good. They skipped a few things, but the first chapter was very solid, the highlight being the ending. My only complain is the big amount of fanservice and panty shots, but is nothing noteworthy.

I'm pleased so far, hoping for a 2cour anime.

Oh wow, I certainly was not expecting the episode to end like that like legit. I was so distracted by the fanservice that hory shet, knives, bombs, and lock picking.

The animation reminds me of some of Shaft's works which is a good thing in my opinion. The animation was too good for just a generic harem anime so thank God that it's going to be interesting.

I actually am excited to see the next episode now since it is seeming like a deconstruction of the harem genre.

Final Thoughts/Random Thoughts:

Fucking Best Quotes of the Year:

"The only other thing students do while secluded in their room is... They're masturbating?" - Yuuji

"Who called a stripper to my room? Today's not my birthday." - Yuuji

"They are nice breasts." - Yuuji

Man, shit had me laughing my ass off.

Wow I really enjoyed this. I forgotten completely I love the game's OST and it was a nice treat of them having it all in there. A little sad of the censoring but I guess it can't be helped. Well if its just the sexual stuff then I'll get over it. Man I never notice all the subtle stuff in the common route till now so much foreshadowing. The best part was that last sequence showing all the girls. This is going to be a good ride if they can make this a 2 cour.

An ordinary school with only 6 people. It does make it interesting regarding all their backgrounds.
All those panty shots... o.o
The girls seems pretty interesting.
Michiru was pretty funny ^^ Being called a tsundere and her reactions in general.
Sasaki taking out a cutter :O
Amane changing in Yuuji's room! She didn't care though. Her reaction to Yuuji talking about his older sister!
She being able to lockpick and her reaction... giving off a yandere vibe :O
Still, this is pretty interesting!

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.

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?

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.
