With no personal agency, Yuuji appears to have no characterbuilding in the film, instead being silently blown like a dead leaf from disaster to disaster. Worse yet, the show uses molestation as a disturbing crutch more times than I care to have counted, without having any additional impact for their presence. Perhaps that's a personal gripe, but disturbing the viewer with child molestation should not be confused with story impact.
The art and sound are fine, not earning any gripes or particular notice from me. I was enjoying the show up until his sister's character, a powerful force in the first season of Grisaia, was tarnished by taking the brocon archetype much too far before her passing. After that, Yuuji's misfortunes continued to ring hollow.
Perhaps it's a personal vendetta of mine, or perhaps I've become jaded, but I've seen enough of writers using cheap shock tactics and using stock plot elements to make a tragedy, especially at the expense of a strong existing character's integrity.
