Following the Heath Oslo incident, the existence of the US-Japanese anti-terror organization CIRS has become a matter of public knowledge. CIRS has been rebuilt from the ground up, and its most covert functions spun off to a new agency: SORD (Social Ops, Research & Development). The goal of SORD is to train a new generation of operatives to defend the country against future threats. To that end, the organization has established a series of schools up and down the country. Mihama Academy, more-or-less left to rot after its abrupt closure, has been given new purpose as one such 'specialist training school'. This new incarnation of Mihama Academy is home to a diverse group of students, who every day work to polish their unusual skills – sometimes on the job. Mihama now entrusts the misfit girls who attend it with guns and live ammunition. Paying their own safety no heed, these students are again and again plunged into dangerous extrajudicial missions - all for the good of the realm. "We've been provided with a place in the world. That alone isn't enough - there wouldn't be any meaning in living, if that was all we had... It's not enough just to be made use of by others. I live by my own strength, and I fight to survive. That's the only way those of us who actually make it through can find forgiveness..." No matter how much life grinds them down, what future awaits these girls, who've themselves chosen the path of the gun? (Source: Kickstarter)

This anime is disliked and dropped off by many Grisaia series fans and some of the reasons are that it isn't a continuation of the Grisaia series or doesn't contain characters from the Grisaia series like "omg where is Yuuji?, ok rate 0/10 done." which I find quite unreasonable since it is indeed quite an acceptable and can be enjoyable to watch. Ok, from what i understand, at Mihama Private academy a school for assassins has new 4 students, a class president, a homeroom teacher and a principle where they are assigned a proper mission to assassinate or capture a target which is different fromthe other Grisaias as they kill people to solve a problem or to save someone. However both of the shows also contains some similarities such as the epic fighting scenes and how there is still a sniper. Also, I wouldn't think that this isn't a continuation of the Grisaia series because I think this is happenning while Yuuji is having his harem time on the island shown at the end of Grisaia no rakuen right? And lets be honest, even if the Grisaia series continues with the same character the whole story would just entirely be about harem and ecchi stuffs anyways so I think starting off with a new set of character can be a good choice as well. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that it is wrong to dislike this show because I don't think it is the best show as well, I'm just saying that if you dislike this show you should have a better reason than disliking because your favourite set of characters is no longer in the show. This concludes my review of the show "Grisaia: Phantom Trigger The Animation", Thank you for reading
In this movie, we do not find the same characters as in Grisaia no rakuen. Consequently characters who made the grisaia’s show like yuuji are really missing. This show is just 40 minutes of uninteresting and predictable story. One more time all the characters are girls (except Aoi) and story is then filled of fan service and unnecessary scene that made the show a bit boring. This movie is clearly bad compared to its predecessors. The only positives aspect are: the animation that is well done and the music that I find interesting. Dissociate from grisaia no rakuen, it makes a good original story, but in the grisaia’suniverse this wasn’t necessary. In the first movie, the story take place several years after grisaia no rakuen event. We follow the story of many students of the Mihama academy, a “secret” school where the government trains assassin. The story begins after the arrival of a new teacher. This teacher is going to be in charge of the SORD. After witnessing a traffic, this teacher will be kidnapped by a criminal organization, so his students will leave to save her. The story seems interressing but the action goes too fast, we do not have time to enjoy it.
A newly incarnated Mihama Academy and a new cast... Grisaia: Phantom Trigger the Animation feels by all means it took took the success and badassery of Rakuen and gave it a facelift, for the better or worse... By all means, LA was actually perfectly happy with the original cast not being in Grisaia: Phantom Trigger the Animation, as it's a new generation of characters at the helm of what the original cast once did and seeing the Grisaia world being expanded upon after the original cast left is a good thing, cos like come on, Yuuji and the rest of the battle harem went through hell andback, let them rest and have their happy ending. As for the new cast, well LA latched onto Rena Fukami voiced by Maaya Uchida as the "rabid dog" of the cast, a glutton for food but has a crush on her "master" Haruto Aoi, but also a close quarter monster in battle, she's your Yumiko. Next is Touka Shishigaya voiced by Ayane Sakura the long range sniper and the tsundere of the group, she's your Michiru of the group. Christina Kujirase voiced by Kaori Nazuka is the bridge bunny and information gatherer of the group and the expected calm ojou-like character who handles the girls day to day chores, she's your expected Sachi. Next is Murasaki Ikoma voiced by Atsumi Tanezaki the ninja and stealth operative and is your Makina, she was LA's second favourite of the cast. Next is the character we narrative focus in the first half with is Shiori Arisaka voiced by Mikako Izawa and your Chizuru of the group. Finally is Haruto Aoi voiced by Tsubasa Yonaga, Rena's master and the Yuuji of the group and a master swordsman in a ways but is the person taking care of the group outside of school as well, thus the Yuuji comparison. The first half of the movie pretty much gives the basics of the character introductions LA mentioned above as well as mission in saving Shiori, wasn't that bad as we get to know the cast as well as the re-structured Mihama Academy now being the spiritual successor of what the original cast went through in Rakuen. the second half was more focused towards Rena and her backstory when she encounters her childhood friend turned criminal oddjob killer Bucks/Maki Inohara voiced by Yoshino Nanjo. This was the obviously the more interesting segment of the movie as we get to delve deep into one of the groups, mainly in this case Rena and see how she became how she is now, not to mention she and Haruto got some development together as well as a result what with being master and rabid dog analogy they give to themselves. The second half if anything shows what potential the new cast has if we're going into their backstories through their current missions and see them have a chance to develop as a result and showing off Rena's was a good move in all honesty as LA came to like Rena even more. The animation done by Bibury Animation Studios had great character designs and good to great gunfighting, add in the violence, semi-censored at times and considering what we're dealing with in Grisaia some fan service and disservice moments and to say the animation done by Bibury was great is an understatement. As for voice cast, well Maaya Uchida gets billing for LA mainly for favourite character by default but Ayane Sakura, Kaori Nazuka, Mikako Izawa, Atsumi Tanezaki and Yoshino Nanjo stood out, really the new cast was great in this movie, what could LA say, let alone they're chemistry with one another, especially Maaya Uchida and Yoshino Nanjo. So to say that not having the original cast of Grisaia is a disservice to this movie and the Grisaia franchise, well not really, LA sees Grisaia: Phantom Trigger the Animation as trying to expand the world with it's new cast and trying to implemented what worked in Rakuen into these new characters, much like Grisaia in it's early beginning of Kajustu, it ALSO had problems, so like that Grisaia: Phantom Trigger the Animation will have it's problems, that LA will see and take note of, but Grisaia: Phantom Trigger the Animation by all means have LA interested and would like to see more with this new cast of characters, if Grisaia: Phantom Trigger the Animation will ever continue into an anime series.
Typically, if a franchise changes out the old cast and swaps them with a group of strangers, it isn't that good. In, "Phantom Trigger" — however, they restored the roster of characters with style: great designs, more acclaimed voice actresses than the ones that starred in the original series, a high artistic design budget, and a narrative that could have been written for an American action flick. I think "Phantom Trigger" is good at being its own thing, but is still recognizable as a "Grisaia" title! ⚠️ This review will be spoiler-free ⚠️ The first series of Grisaia was more focused on interpersonal issues, self-actualization, and absurd,militaristic scenarios. While the "rule of cool" thumbprint is still noticeable on this series, it's less about the psychological aspects of the story, and more of a beat 'em up rumble with special agents in antithetical factions. And even though, I liked the writing-style in the original series, I respect a series that's less of a thought-provoking, literary piece and more of a wanton exploration into the espionage and fieldwork of each combatant. There's a little bit of character development, like the rivalrous friendship between Rena and Bucks, two impoverished orphans, that ended up on opposite lines — "Code Geass"-style. The sensation of watching this short, crowd-funded OVA is less to come away in deep-thought, and more to be wowed by how cool the fight scenes were. It's a simple story, but simple isn't always bad. —Technical Luna's Favorite Works by Each Respective Creator = ✅ Motoki Tanaka (director), notable works: * Azur Lane ✅ * Kin'iro Mosiac —series * Rewrite Commentary: From what I have seen of Mr. Tanaka's works, the adaptation of the Grisaia franchise is easily his best work, though the Azur Lane adaptation wasn't bad either! It's difficult to believe that the same man that totally destroyed any hope of the "Rewrite" anime ever being good, was actually able to make a cohesive and emotionally impactful visual novel adaptation. It may have been more Front Wing's involvement with the project or the addition of the veteran, series composition producer, ※Hideyuki Kurata! ※Mr. Kurata is known for writing the screenplays for anime projects, such as: "Battle Athletess Daiundōkai," "Brigadoon," "Made in Abyss," "Ore no Imōto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai," "R.O.D."

Her performance as Tōka Shishigaya in "Phantom Trigger" is a very coy, but also a bubbly lolita-type of character. I would compare the characterization of Tōka to her roles as Hijiri Kuina ("Rō-Kyū-Bu!") and Kaisei Ebisugawa ("Uchōten Kazoku"). Excellent work! Conclusively, "Phantom Trigger" works really well as an action-packed, man-at-arms bonanza of an OVA, but it isn't much more than that. If you're looking for more than the cool fights and cute girls, this probably isn't the series for you. Since there is an entirely new cast of characters and seldom references to the original series, you can watch this two-episode special, without having to sink time into the original cast of characters — though, I would recommend that you, at least, give "The Fruit of Grisaia" a shot. "Phantom Trigger" gets a 5/10, would have probably rated it a 6/10, if there had been more of a concrete conclusion! Rating: Grisaia: Phantom Trigger ★★★☆☆ Other Rankings: The Fruit of Grisaia ("Grisaia no Kajitsu") ★★★★☆ The Labyrinth of Grisaia ("Grisaia no Meikyū") ★★☆☆☆ The Eden of Grisaia ("Grisaia no Rakuen") ★★☆☆☆
Despite being a spin-off with a different cast and storyline, this movie was very well-written and engaging. It would've been an excellent anime on its own but since it's a sequel to Grisaia, the expectations become extremely high and that's the primary reason why the score on MAL isn't so great. It was inferior to the Kajitsu/Rakuen series when it came to darker and more tragic stories covering psychology and deeper meanings but it also had its own merits with a lot of unique characters and action going on. One thing I missed was the ecchi moments the prequels had and not enough Kazuki wasdefinitely a downside for me. I recommend this if you're fine with experiencing a new storyline with a different cast. But if you're watching this expecting a continuation of the Eden of Grisaia with the same story, this may not be what you want.
Grisaia, a story known for two things, a main character who has sex with EVERYONE including his biological mother, adoptive mother, sister.... You get it... and assassins. Now guess what Phantom trigger doubles down on... Assassins. Okay, to summarize this plot, there is an entire school of wannabe assassins, our somewhat main character is a new teacher at this school who's class are the problem children that are made up of cute girls and a trap. The actual show is watching them fight with a backstory tossed in somewhere every once in a while. This would be great if the show had the animationbudget for it but it doesn't. It is not all bad but you get more than your fair share of close ups and other gimmicks to save cost. They allocate everything else to the quick fights but since they are quick overall the show is lacking. The characters themselves so far fall into tropes, the short cute tsundere that doesn't want to be called cute. The dumb energetic big boobed girl that happens to be good at shooting. I'm not going to go over them all now but they aren't completely bland, they just aren't special. To summarize it all, it is not a completely bad show but i suggest you watch the parts with the harem god of a mc first just so you are invested. When it comes to the sex and stuff it is extremely toned down from the source material if you aren't up for it. A lot is even cut out so sit in for the unique plot that no other show has. After you are attached to the brand come to this.
I don't recommend watching these 'movies', but I don't recommend against it either... The first one was very boring in my opinion. The few actions-like scenes weren't really interesting and exciting and unfortunatly, there was to much unnecessary scenes. The whole story of the first movie, could have been packed in a single Anime episode, and could have been told a much better way. The second one was a bit better, and the story was a bit more interesting, with a better battle scene and a little bit deeper insight in at least two characters, but that was it. Except the two characters in the 2nd movie, the characters weren'tvery deep, they could have been replaced by someone entire else and it wouldn't really matter. The art and the music weren't any better. At the end, I wasn't really worth my time. It was not bad in particular, but I think, this anime will not stay in my memory, next to all the others I'v already have seen. Therefor it was to arbitrarily.
(Spoiler Review) Even though I give this one a 6 like the rest, I think that this series was a bit better than last season. Story 6/10- Phantom Trigger takes places after the events of Yuuji and other girls in their academy where is used for more students who are enrolled in becoming assassins which I think is a bit weird but I guess it was fine since it basically trying to carry the previous students who were also in the academy but weren't actually assassins more like students who had terrible lives before which is similar to the ones who now go to this schoolas they are people who had harsh lives so they go to this school now. So the two seasons before had a lot of backstories for each student whilst this tells us that these guys had terrible lives so I guess we didn't really need a backstory for all the girls in the school like last time which is fine as there was like one back story for two girls and that really helped out to the story a bit. Art 7/10 and Sound 6/10- The art this time seemed to be a lot better than last time since it was more bright and drawn a lot better for some reason which looked really well. The Sound was fine which only have like one or two openings and endings that was fine, character voices were also fine as they suited each character. Characters 6/10- Like I said these are students who are assassins and go to the academy because they had nowhere else to go but they still want to live a normal life as high school students which are similar to how Yuuji wanted to live his life so I guess they wanted to carry that one over to the rest of the students which is pretty cool. Alike how these girls are a lot better than last season girls since they are normal students but also assassins who can actually do something in this story. Enjoyment 7/10- Even though this was two separate episodes, there was enjoyment in it since there was a lot more action within it and I loved the fight with Rena and Maki as that was one was a really good fistfight with each other. There some smiles I had with those small funny moments and that the one backstory we saw I actually felt sorry for them. Overall 6/10- It still gets 6 since I don't think it still gets a 7 but it was still good than the last season and this was only two episodes and that apparently this is an animation for the visual novel which I didn't know it had so I guess that something surprising so I want to see what the sequel has to offer.
This is really a movie in two episodes. I thought that I might as well watch it since I'd already watched the earlier stuff and it's only two episodes. So, how did this measure up to this decidedly 'meh' series? Well... - Story & Theme After the 'Eden' series events the clandestine government organization that Yuuji worked for was exposed and restructured. As a part of this the school in the first series became a school for new agents. Basically, the idea seems to be that since everyone now knows that the country has a taskforce of assassins they might as well train them in public. Onlyyoung girls though, for no given reason. Oh, except one guy who I guess you're supposed to identify with. The actual story is a short and simple one that feels like a filler story. - Characters & Writing All the girls from the previous series are here. Or, rather, they've created "new" characters by renaming and redesigning the original characters, sometimes smashing two of them together. In actuality, none of the original characters are present and with the exception of a few references to the earlier series this could have been something completely different and I wouldn't have noticed. - Style & Presentation Still the same. Fine but not noteworthy. At times the animation becomes badly animated chibi style, but while I get that it's supposed to be humorous the timing isn't good enough to work as a gag. - Conclusion What started out as an interesting (though badly executed) premise for a harem has now become a full blown "cute girls doing violence" anime. Apart from that and a few panty shots there is really nothing here to entice any kind of interest. I just finished watching both episodes and I find it hard to remember what happened. It's bland, boring and not really worth your time unless cute girls doing violence is something you like a lot.
