The Eden Of Grisaia: The Labyrinth Of Grisaia - Season 2 + OVA (2015/Sentai Blu-ray Set)



Picture: A- Sound: B+ Extras: C Episodes: A-



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...
