Apr 12, 2015 HaXXspetten Recommended After the absolute disaster that was Studio 8bit's adaptation of Grisaia no Kajitsu, I'm sure the question on everybody's mind was whether or not the sequels would face the same treatment as well. Personally I don't think there was any reason to have faith in 8bit at this point, but the sequels come with the one advantage of being extremely short in comparison and thus being almost impossible to rush. And as it turns out, that was actually all that was needed because what we have here is actually a perfectly legitimate and very well made adaptation of Grisaia no Meikyuu. Meikyuu's story takes place mostly ... Read more Open Gift Report
Apr 12, 2015 Genesisis Recommended Grisaia no Meikyuu is a complicated arc from the main story of the Visual novel/anime (Grisaia no Kajitsu) the story is told by the main protagonist himself Kazami, Yuuji. Wanting to pursue a promotion within the CIRS company Yuuji must submit documents as part of the promotion process explaining his own past. The story telling of his childhood was so enticing, listening to him tell his story while watching the flashbacks and memories was perfect. Yuuji goes in depth on how difficult and traumatic his childhood was like. He explains his childhood thoroughly from an early elementary student to a young teen boy. A main protagonist with ...

Apr 13, 2015 Tozzy Mixed Feelings After watching Grisaia no Kajitsu I wasn't exactly bubbling with excitement for this. The series was hampered by trying to cram so many stories into the space of 13 episodes and it suffered badly for it. But what a difference a bit of more focused writing can make in Grisaia no Meikyuu. There was more character development, more interesting story telling and more excitement contained within this 47 minutes than almost the entirety of Grisaia no Kajitsu. This prequel episode has actually restored a lot of faith in the series for me. It's by no means perfect - kicking along at blinding speed the biggest ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 2, 2015 PyraXadon Recommended Le Fruit de la Grisaia was a series that tore me to bits. On one hand, I found it to be a decent series because of its different approach and overall feel for a harem series, since it didn't completely focus on ecchi/comedy, and it wasn't really a standard harem as obvious from the first five minutes. On the other hand however, I hated this series because while watching it, there were certain things that irked me, such as character importance, the explanation of the MC and his character traits, and my overall queasiness while watching this. So, with this OVA, what ... Read more Open Gift Report
Oct 7, 2016 pleochroic Not Recommended Funny This is the worst anime I have ever watched. Not because it's technically bad; art and animation are fine, voice talent and music are fine, no that's not the problem. The problem is that the story is purely manipulative dreck. HERE BE MASSIVE SPOILERS. I found this story offensive. I have nothing against harems per se, and I am ok with Grisaia giving its harem girls somewhat difficult pasts for the feels. But this one, Yuuji's route, is just ham-fisted schlock. Whoever wrote this piece of tripe must have had the directive of "invent a really tragic past for Yuuji" and decided that ...

Apr 14, 2015 AbsarNaeem Recommended So this special is dedicated in telling us about Yuuji's past life. What happened to him which made him like he is? His childhood, his family, his relations, his battles, his troubles, everything he went through as a child till the present day. It does a good job and really depicts the psychological genre this anime is known for. A dark past and some graphic scenes are all it takes to make it one of the Grisaia specials. Story 9/10: Read more Open Gift Report
May 12, 2015 Lancehot Mixed Feelings TL;DR - Labyrinth of Grisaia (& the Cocoon of Caprice story it begins) is dumb schlock that sets out to offend & leaves you entertained. By the end of it, Yuuji has an engaging backstory, the rest of the Eden of Grisaia story is well setup & you've found yourself laughing awkwardly at rape jokes. Not for Tumblr. Fruit of Grisaia was, all things considered, a disappointment. A rushed attempt to cram five story routes from the visual novel into twelve episodes, the result was a watchable but not particularly enjoyable harem where main man Yuuji blitzed his way through the back stories ...

Nov 12, 2015 Zaku88 Recommended This is a fairly dark single-episode addition to Grisaia that does a great job of explaining Yuuji's horrific past (likened to the protagonist's childhood in Fate/Zero's). It also sets the stage for what is to come in the second season. It is told from the current time frame as a reflection of Yuuji's past in order for him to get a promotion. After exploring the protagonist's dark past, the episode finishes with a brief scene with the main TV show's heroines. The title image here is a bit misleading as it explains the events prior to the title image, you don't see much of Yuuji's ... Read more Open Gift Report
Mar 19, 2016 Animeanime2 Recommended Grisaia no Meikyuu is a must watch inbetween Grisaia no Kajitsu and Grisaia no Rakuen. If you start Rakuen you'll immediately notice a gap in story, this because Meikyuu is the introduction story to the second Grisaia season. Read more Open Gift Report
Oct 24, 2015 brinawriter Recommended After just finishing The Fruit of Grisaia I went right into this one and man, was it depressing as hell. The Labyrinth of Grisaia is a sequel film to the first season of the Grisaia trilogy. The entire movie explains Yuuji's sad and lonely past and it was depressing as hell. In this film we see his relationship with his sister Kazumi. She was the star and he was the outcast but she took time to hang out with him and later began to care for him more, lovingly. Kazumi and Yuuji's relationship I really liked at the beginning,and then the bath scene happened. It was weird ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 19, 2016 TheOddFox Recommended The parent to this prequel is Grisaia no Kajitsu, I thought it was good but there could of been some serious improvement. At first I felt Grisaia no Meikyuu was going to be the same, an unnecessary attachment to the series HOWEVER, I was proven wrong and proven wrong very strongly. There was so much character development and I felt there was so much more value to the main character then ever. I really understand all who, what, where, when. I was shockingly impressed by this prequel and I would suggest to anyone who watched Grisaia no Kajitsu to give Grisaia no Meikyuu a chance, you won't ... Read more Open Gift Report
May 22, 2015 ratchet573 Recommended The Labyrinth of Grisaia is a fifty minute OVA detailing the past of our main character, Yuuji. In the series, Yuuji was the only guy in a tiny school full of girls but he was also an accomplished sniper and one of the more developed MC’s in a show of this type. We open with a hostage situation requiring Yuuji to snipe a man. This is little more than fan service, giving us a glimpse at how he met a minor character in the main show. After that we go back to when he was a child, treated like garbage by his parents because of how ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 10, 2016 ueno_station54 Recommended Grisaia continues to be the most brashly awful thing I've ever witnessed and I still love it. At least with this arc there are elements that feel like they could have been good and were just executed abysmally by the studio rather than with the first series where it wouldn't have been possible for any of it to be good. What really makes Grisaia so special is the motivation behind how the authors portray the MC. Just the idea of taking the MC of a harem (usually left as vague as possible so that the player can immerse themselves in the roles easily) and just making ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 21, 2018 OminousWrex Mixed Feelings I had low expectations of the adaptation to begin with, considering how rushed and condensed "The Fruit of Grisaia" anime was. "Labyrinth" was no different, and I feel like this kind of pacing makes it difficult to really care that much about the people Yuuji got involved with and died, since they feel like just one-off redshirts who appeared on-screen for one minute and then disappeared. We know from "Clannad" and "Steins;Gate" that it's not impossible to adapt a visual novel into a proper anime if enough money was thrown at it, so it's kinda vexing that Grisaia has such a piss-poor production quality. Also, the anime ... Read more Open Gift Report
Apr 22, 2020 FishingBoat Mixed Feelings I enjoyed Grisaia's first season originally for its fast pace and focus on multiple gritty characters with deep-rooted problems. I was expecting to have liked this interval story as much, since it covers the main character's deep-rooted problems as well. However, the story is fairly derivative and simplistic, instead relying on simple tragedy after simple tragedy. It's a far cry from the interconnected web of relationships that the first season had. 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 ... Read more Open Gift Report
May 3, 2021 UniversalPotato Mixed Feelings (Quick Review Spoilers) So this special was interesting in a weird way. It was about the past of Yuuji Kazami before meeting his master Asako Kusakabe and his life was weird but I guess interesting. He lived with his family with his parents and his older sister who was more talented than him so his parents ignored him and only cared for her. He had a really weird relationship with his sister also known as incest whilst like I said his parents ignored him until his sister had died making his father abusive and acholic to him and his mother which they both moved away from ...

Jan 19, 2021 Cyranical Not Recommended [Review contains spoilers, read at your own risk] Ever wondered how much can studios butcher an anime adaptation so badly, so did I. For the past years I have not seen an anime adaptation worse that than Grisai trilogy, journey through me Cyranical as I relive and retell all the pain and anguish I felt while watching the second anime adaptation of the Grisai trilogy which is The Cocoon Of Caprice 0. The Cocoon Of Caprice 0 is the continuation of 8bit's disaster of an adaptation for Grisai no Kaijitsu, it also serves as a bridge for fruits and eden. It tells the tragic past ...

Jun 24, 2023 whiteflame55 Not Recommended Backstory for the MC, this one starts strong, but quickly decides it's going to give him the most disturbing backstory it can, and then it loses me. The show goes out of its way to add reasons for him to be traumatized, and while I like good suffering in my MCs, this one just felt absurd. All I could think was that there's no way he comes out of this being any kind of OK, and frankly, it still doesn't make sense. I have a better opinion of it now that I've seen S2 because it at least gave more context for it, but I ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 13, 2024 Szandor Mixed Feelings I normally don't write reviews for single episode shows that are just part of a larger series, but I'll make an exception here since I do have a few things to say about this. So what is it that compels me to write about what is essentially just episode one of the sequel show? Well... - Story & Theme Read more Open Gift Report |
