Surely Grisaia likes to kill pets. The whole Yuuji and Asako relationship reminded me of Kenshin and Hiko.

Waaaaaaahhhh, that was really great! I hope they continue with this good pacing that's started in Meikyuu, and keep it till the end.
Not having played the VN, I wasn't sure how to feel about Asako, but by the end of the ep she proved to be a great character, I can see why she became the Master for Yuuji. And ofc, Yuuji's backstory may just be the best and the deepest harem MC‘s backstory I was lucky to watch.C:

Absolutely loved the 1st episode of Rakuen.
Even thou havn't read the VN, i still feel that rushed pacing thru-out 1st episode. but perfectly executed.
Asako is so amazing!
Immediately noticed that the ED was performed by vocalist of fripside.
5/5.

Excellent start to this show, though in a sense this was just part 2 of Meikyuu. The true Rakuen story starts after all the flashbacks are done afterall.

Yuuji, despite the F'd up first 7 years, really had it good once Asako and JB stepped in. JB mothering him like that.... I wonder if she would ever have figured back then that
.... Ah well, I'm looking forward to seeing how they show Asako's death, and I wish we'd get more of the story with Yuuji's mates in the military. Just the scenes in the ED aren't enough. I wanna see them interact.

Another in-depth episode of Yuuji's past, and the so called Asako Yuuji speaked of in season 1.

JB got her time to work her magic in this episode. The cooking scene and feeding Yuuji her food was quite nice. Asaka calling herself a God, yea it totally fits her. She's a goddess worthy of that title.

RIP John

JOOOOOHN!! :(
That show really ate dog. hehehe

That episode sure as shown another side of JB. That face she made when Yuuji asked for her help, it was both really cute and funny.

The pace for that episode was much more natural than the first season. We got to see Yuuji slowly grow from a catatonic state to the one of strong young boy.

In the end, we know that Asako die. I wonder if it's related to that ''event'' they were referring to, when talking about her eye.

Poor dog.. but I guess scenes like that are to be expected from this series. And it was nice to finally see Asako's and Yuuji's relationship.

Good start. I have the feeling this could turn out to be even better than Kajitsu tv series.

^ exactly my thought when i was watching the episode.. Poor Yuuji, dude just can't catch a break..

About the episode however i do like it a lot.. This flashback is definitely the best in the series so far.. Can't wait to see how it's end..

Yuuji and Asako are a win duo. Nice start, surely appreciate it to learn more about their relationship and past.

Nooo John! She was a great dog. The only time I dislike Yuuji. So this season is centered around Yuuji, not the girls like in Kajitsu, interesting.

Think I started watching grisaia no kajitsu because I saw a scene on youtube or somewhere if our chad thot slayer mc yuuji and thought, "yes, now THIS is a harem protagonist". Then I actually watched and well, it just felt really, strange?? Like wtf is this?? Does this man have such skills for no reason other than to look cool? Like what is going on....?

I'm pretty much an anime only watcher, so I decided to go look at the source material. Oh, I realized, this is only the small part of a bigger picture. Kajitsu was him basically just taking a break and wanting a normal life. This is not just a ecchi harem show, man's actually a highly trained agent of whatever cia rip off they made. These past couple episodes of his backstory really cleared up stuff, now I get how he is why he is.

Anyway, here I am now, finished that portion which was basically extreme ecchi slice of life, and now, we get some real meat??!

Well that was kinda interesting. We finally get to find out more about Asako, a prominent character from Yuuji's past and the training she gave to him. Quite a lot of classic stuff, bear attacks and all.

He literally said "They're masturbating?" lol.

Yeah, that's how harsh nature is. If that happened to my dog, I'm sure I wouldn't be able to kill that bear as well. They're just doing what they can to survive after all.

I know he couldn't bring himself to kill the bear, but it definitely felt unsatifying. Not killing Marlin (who was drugged out of her mind, a friend, and forced to fight) is understandable, but some bear that killed your pet? I wonder when the fear of killing truly struck him. Haven't reread the VN in a while, so maybe I missed something.

A continuation.

Yuuji needs to hit hard. He is immensely cute as a boy.

Asako is sus. Something tells me she aint up to no good.

More JB is cool

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.
