What you shouldn’t be watching: Grisaia no Kajitsu

fuck this animeChances are, if you’ve seen more than three anime, the above character design looks familiar. Her appearance is almost identical to the loli in Sword Art Online or, more recently, the loli in Madan no Ou to Vanadis. This, unfortunately, is indicative of Grisaia as a whole. There is nothing here that you haven’t seen – unless you watch the presumably uncensored blu-rays, which will have boobs on display.

Our harem lead is thrown into a school where even the thirty-year-old principal is a cute girl; this is after being raised by a bunch of assassins that are all cute girls. All of his classmates are under his control in some way or another; the loli is naturally submissive, the maid lives to serve, the horny large-chested woman can’t control her sexual desires around him, and the tsundere is at the whim of our protagonist’s obviously superior intellect. The one character who does resist him is the yandere, and this is solely because she is a misandrist. After all, how could a woman who doesn’t hate men want freedom or independence? Her resistance stops when the protagonist sexually humiliates her in front of her classmates.

If the objectification of women is something that appeals to you, then I’m sure you’ll immensely enjoy Grisaia. If you happen to be a decent person who is at all socially conscious, then I recommend you spend your time elsewhere.
