#Nessa no rakuen wiki series
While I firmly believe that comparing an anime too much to its source material is stupid (because if you want the source material, go read the source material, don't give the anime slack for not being an exact copy of it), I usually only say that as an attempt to justify a series that goes the route of being an anime-original adaptation and not specifically an adaptation of any source material. The reason for my bitter taste was simply because of how terrible an adaptation Kajitsu was. though, I still had hope for the future, but I'll talk about that later. Going into Grisaia no Rakuen, I was actually quite hyped, and not for the reasons you'd expect.Īfter finishing Grisaia no Kajitsu, which I happened to finish about a week after it finished airing, I was left with an EXTREMELY bitter tasted in my mouth. With that aside, let's begin the actual review. So, I'd advise you do not read any further if you haven't seen the first season/hour long special and don't want to be spoiled. and given that, there WILL be some spoilers (though minor, spoilers nonetheless) to both Grisaia no Kajitsu and Grisaia no Meikyuu within this review. Whichever you fall under, it proves you've seen the first season. You've seen the whole thing, and want to see what someone else thought about it, purely out of curiosity or because you want to compare your opinions to someone else, or something along those lines. You've seen the first season, and want to know if it's worth it to watch the next, or.Ģ. With that being said, in my head, there's only 2 reasons why anyone would want to read a review for a sequel series like this one:ġ. If you're still here, then you probably understand that this is meant to be a review of Grisaia no Rakuen, the sequel to Grisaia no Kajitsu/Meikyuu. If you are here looking for a new series to start, please visit the page for the anime which is where this series is meant to be started.
The first 2 are Grisaia no Kajitsu, the main series, and Grisaia no Meikyuu, an hour-long prequel special. Let's begin.ĭo understand that Grisaia no Rakuen is the final installment to the Grisaia anime series.
So today, I'm reviewing the recently-finished 2015 visual novel adaptation by Studio 8bit, sequel of the highly acclaimed visual novel Grisaia no Kajitsu, is the anime adaptation for Grisaia no Rakuen. Hell, I'd say it's far above ANY mindless fun series, no matter how good it is/how good people consider it to be. yet, it's enjoyable at a level FAR above your typical mindless fun series. So what I'm saying is, Grisaia no Rakuen should be thought of as mindless fun, because in a way, that's all it really is. Grisaia no Rakuen is similar to it in that regard. It, in no way, follows the norm of what people consider to make anime as great as it is, yet is still something many people consider to be one of the best anime of all time, if not the very best. The absolute greatness behind Grisaia no Rakuen is, in a very small way, similar to that of Masaaki Yuasa's masterpiece The Tatami Galaxy. But I think that Grisaia no Rakuen has a meaning to it that's different from the typical "norm" of what makes an anime so amazing. Does that mean I'm directly implying that this series is nothing more than mindless fun, and can't be enjoyed as something deeper than that? No, not at all.
One thing I feel I should mention before going on with my review of this absolute treat is that, you shouldn't go into Grisaia no Rakuen expecting those things. In some aspects, yes, Grisaia no Rakuen has those things. With stellar animation and an ass-kicking soundtrack? Is Grisaia no Rakuen (also known as The Eden of Grisaia) an anime that is necessarily an "amazing" one, at least to the eyes of most critical anime fans? And what I mean by that is this does Grisaia no Rakuen have everything needed for a series to be amazing in the eyes of most anime fans, and use those things well? Things like serious/deep/though provoking themes, elements of suspense used correctly without deus ex machina, a fluid and linear story, psychological/dark plot lines, well-characterized and developed characters, all bundled together Let me explain something to you guys, before I get on with this actual review.
