Since
Mihama Academy, Yuji Kazami has not only won over the trust of girls
but protected them from their past, but even now, who is Yuji? What
is his past? And where did he get his elite military training? In
Labyrinth
of Grisaia,
the girls learn of Yuji's tragic past and how he grew up surrounded
by tragedy and violence. In Eden
of Grisaia,
Yuji faces his past and confronts Heath Oslo, a terrorist who once
raised Yuji to be a child assassin and now has captured him in order
to turn him into the perfect designer drug soldier.
Mihama
Academy on the outside is appears to be a small private high school
for 6 'normal' students, but the truth is, each student has a tragic
past that prevents them from having a normal life. Yuji once vowed
to save 5 lives and has completed his promise when he saved Yumiko,
Amane, Michiru, Makina and Sachi. Afterwards, he disappeared and was
captured by Heath Oslo who intends to turn Yuji into a mass produced
designer drug soldier, since Yuji is was the only test subject who
survived all drug research trials. Now, it is up to the girls to
find and rescue Yuji, to show him that he was made for more than
killing, that he has a home to come home to and they are all waiting
for him.
This
was your typical harem anime, this anime was based on an adult visual
novel. Aside from the fact the characters were all troubled children
with a violent or abusive past, this anime is definitely meant for a
more 'mature' audiences with adult themes, violence and fan service.
The
1080p 1.78 X 1 digital High Definition image on each episode is
nearly at the top of Sentai's best Blu-ray releases to date, while
the DTS-HD MA (Master Audio) Japanese 2.0 Stereo lossless mix with
Pro Logic-like surrounds is warm, rich and almost a match for the
image; all a match for the previous season. Extras include clean
opening and closing animation and trailers. For more on the previous
season, go to this link...
