Mixed Feelings
I attracted to watch Grisaia no Kajitsu since it has a unique theme (psychological+drama), a type of settings that rarely found in this era. Before I starting to watch this, I heard many great things about the Visual Novel. Many people say it's a masterpiece. So, I started to watch with great things imagined in my mind. But after finishing it, I think I drowned into the same swamp again...

Grisaia no Kajitsu is a story about a group of 6 teenagers (5 girls and 1 boy) that have a problem in their life. They cannot go to the regular school because of the problem. Well, I really don't know what to say about the story besides "unfocused storyline and full of flaw". Although I didn't play the Visual Novel, but I know that many plot devices that not exist in the anime. It is really poorly executed and wrecked. Grisaia no Kajitsu is another Visual Novel that failure in story execution. And they still putting fan service while the story is almost faded

I do not say many things about the animation, it's just great. Also, the background reminds me of Angel Beats. And the sound settings was decent

And like they said, too much focusing in one point is a suicide bomb Grisaia no Kajitsu main focus is in the character development, almost all of the main character have their development. But having the character development in all main character not guarantee the character became deep. People say is more concerned with process than results. Well, we have the results, but the process is abstract and full of a question mark in it. This makes the character development not perfectly done well, and such a shame.

Well, the enjoyment we have is see-saw. The feelings are mixed up, the enjoyment shine in the Amane Suou route which is the best route.

And that is Grisaia all about, a highly anticipated anime but full of flaws here and there. In the end, it's just another Visual Novel that loses its storyline but did decent in character development. Is it recommended? Maybe...., but don't throw high hope for this...
