Well Kajitsu was completely butchered due to how long the VN is yet they tried to cram it into a single cour and unsurprisingly failed miserably. Meikyuu and Rakuen however are nowhere even close to the same length, and thus they don't have this problem in the anime. As a result, they're actually realistically paced (unlike Kajitsu) and for anime-only viewers they'll come across as a huge improvement

Soooooo tl;dr yes

Season 1 doesnt exist. Its a whole different anime with no relation to a great vn.

This is the first (watchable) season of Grisaia.

I personally prefer what they did to Kajitsu than have undeveloped characters, although except for Kazuki's accident, it felt really rushed.

The OVA & 2nd season is better overall in my opinion, but I say that the ova/special (Grisaia no Meikyuu) episode was easily the best thing in the whole series.

The last 4 episodes in 1st season were very good and better than Grisaia no Rakuen so far, but the other episodes in 1st season are worse

I mean, probably. I haven't watched it since the VN is coming out this year in English, but I heard this season was superior to Kajitsu.

If you are into visual novels, I suggest you wait till the year's end and play the Grisaia trilogy in one go. You get a better appreciation for the characters that way.

Don't believe that lol, Rakuen is more like TTGL or Kill la Kill in terms of atmosphere from episode 5 onwards

Rakuen is just a hollywoodish movie formula. Its over the top fun, but still not like TTGL and KlK.

But yeah i dont get that other comparison either.

Meikyuu has side charas most of the time besides the main.
Rakuen has the main charas...

And heres the problem: The side charas are better developed than the main charas in Kajitsu.

That's why I say it was rushed. But nonetheless, in the novel they only develop one character at all, acording with the route you picked, and I think very rushed development is better than no development at all. It's not their fault, anyways, since they had only 13 episodes. I dare even say the first season of the anime had a better ending than Amane's route in the novel, although I'd prefer Yuuji with Yumiko (which IMHO is who needed him the most, considering all their pasts) instead.

Definitely, the second season has been great so far, plus from what everyone says, the newest arc that just started last weekend is the best of all.

I thought all of the Grisaia series ended up being charmless. I'm learning to lower my expectations from video game anime. Manga adaptations are better written.
