| I'm glad that they continued where the OVA left off. I thought they were gonna start off from somewhere. Yuuji and Asako's past was great. We get to see how Asako changed Yuuji for the better. It's sad that the dog got eaten by bears. Let's just see if they'll stay good like this start. I haven't even started the VN of Meikyuu and this started already. I have to stay my judging to just this series then. |

Principal you mean. And yeah, he's saved 6. Good to see Yuuji and Asako's relationship and how she changed him. Sad about John though :( |

| heylet'sreadourdialogueasfastashumanlypossibleokay |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| Those adorable little monsters; they killed and ate John! Those mother fu-- ...I need to calm myself. I still think Yuuji should have killed it, and the cubs. Unlike other bear species, brown bears are of least concern, and are sometimes even killed for food in Japan. The one time Yuuji should have taken revenge but didn't. I hope they dive more into Yuuji's teenage anti-terrorist soldier years next episode. I want to know more about the other characters he was hanging with near the end of this episode. LOL Deer shlong. I hope they don't uncensor it, because it's so much funnier that way (just like in the anime Seitokai Yakuindomo). |

| Holy crap, this show is actually really freaking good when its about Yuuji's past and not the stupid whore girls. Knew the dog was going to die the moment he got it lol just gotta add more to the tragedy and that ending song omg so good |
 |
| watched meikyuu first then started rakuen right after and man yuuji had a pretty rough child hood feel sorry for the dog though i'm liking yuuji & asako's past. if only the VN's for mekryuu & Rakuen can get translated already. |

It's way more silly and exaggerated than the rest of the series.Good episode, but without much action, but gives to realize that this season will be more sentimental than the last, also I did not like Yuuji with a weak personality after becoming a murderer, well, I expect a little more action and Yuuji showing their force next episode .. |

| I'm glad this picks up right after the OVA and it's focusing more on Yuuji's past. We found out more about Asako too. It was nice to Yuuji smiling and having a fun time with his dog 'John' but it was sad to see the wild bear kill it in front of Yuuji. That moment was way too intense. Yuuji was determined to kill the bear but as he realised the bear was trying to feed her cubs, Yuuji broke down. Man, Yuuji has gone through so much shit for a young kid; it's insane. I'm glad to see Asako is being a great mentor/master to Yuuji though; basically like a mother figure even if she says she isn't a mother to him. JB was also pretty fun and cute. Great ED by fripSide's lead vocalist, I recognised that voice straight away! xD This seems very promising, looking forward to more! 5/5 |
 |
| RIP John I find this anime to be really good when shown through Yuuji's back story. |
| Alright, now THIS was much moreso in line with what I was expecting to see from the sequel, Yuuji's life with Asako in greater detail. Even that life wasn't easy, and he even lost his dog, but to this point things are going much better for Yuuji than before. I'm already dreading the death of Asako though I can tell you that. I've taken a strong liking to her character. Still not much from our girls, aside from the foreshadowing of Yuuji saving them that we saw in the first series, but soon enough I assume. |
| Yes it has begun! o/ Great episode with continuation from Meikyuu. damn it bear! why did you have to eat the dog D: and damn it Yuuji for striking the bear in the eye. |
| Interesting. Too bad for the animals, though, even the bear. |

| Poor dog...but i feel bad for the two little bears too 10/10 |
| The movements of the ED was kinda weird but this episode is good overall |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| The last season was so damn boring, but this season is quite interesting to say the least. Mc's story really shines. |

| Great start, Yuuji's past is interesting, can't wait for the ep ! 5/5 |
| I didn't get that hooked up that much by Kajitsu, but Meikyuu definitely got me feeling it. And now Rakuen just enforces it. Looking forward to see Yuuji's life as a soldier. |
| Missing the times of Rewrite, good times. |
dmasterxd said: sanlei said: To sum it up: Rakuen is a hollywoodish action harem :) (still great watch material unlike a certain failed worst anime of last year Kajitsu) Far from the worst anime of last year lol. You're thinking of Glasslip or something moron. Well since it's easier by example... Let's just say that Kajitsu anime is the same as if Clannad + Clannad afterstory were compressed into 13 episodes. I'm not even joking since they have the same length. Now what if you saw clannad+ afterstory with 46 episodes and loved it but 99% of people saw a clannad+afterstory in 13 episodes and complain about it. How would you feel? Edit: Made a mistake with the quotes. |
| Yuuji is really unlucky |
 |
^^ I wonder if the story will be going like this or it'll come back to the present time. |

RusAnon said: Meikyuu's content should only span eps 1-2I wonder why did they decide to rename rest of Meikyuu as "Rakuen". This episode is still part of GnM, and looks like Meikyuu content is going to continue for a while, actual Rakuen didn't start yet. |
| |
| gg rip John. Much needed part of Yuuji's backstory. We got the fucked up part, but the time he spent with Asako was definitely the most important. JB holding the deer penis lmao JB when Yuuji says "save me" and she almost gets a nosebleed and then spoon feeds him. JB best girl no doubt. |
| RIP John T.T |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| This 1 episode was better then Grisaia no Kajitsu all together (except maybe some of the episodes in the Angelic Howl route) overall: 9/10 hope they keep it this way and not ruined it, like the way they rushed things up on Grisaia no Kajitsu adaptation. (love Asako and JB, the credits scenes were beautiful) |

| Well, I guess I may as well watch this and get spoiled, since not even Meikyuu is close to being translated, let alone Rakuen. Amazing first episode. Yuuji's past really is the highlight of this show, I honestly liked every single scene. JB being as awesome as always, little Yuuji was too much for her libido, and it's kinda amusing how she used to wear such conservative clothing before. Asako is a great character, just like Yuuji describes her in Kajitsu - a powerful woman who wouldn't back away even from the king of the jungle. She really did choose the best upbringing for someone like Yuuji, and I love the relationship between them. Yuuji is technically allowed to die now, but hopefully that doesn't happen. I can't wait for the next episode, though I'm a bit concerned if Rakuen will fit in just 12 episodes. I looked it up on VNDB and saw that it's much shorter than Kajitsu, so it shouldn't present too big of a problem for 8bit. 6/5 |
~||Sky of the Night Light||~  |
| even without reading the VN I knew that the dog was gonna die cause Rule Number 1 of animes trying to be'edgy': The puppy must die good ep tho |
The best anime is the Road to El Dorado |
| Yuuji's backstory is pretty great. His interactions with both Asako and JB are fun to watch. Here's hoping they don't ruin this as they did with Kajitsu. |

| Amazing ! Starting with the sequel of the OVA. The Yuui's past is so interesting, next week will be surely the end. |
| This season certainly has taken a different direction from the previous season. It's pretty intense. |
