Review of The Fruit of Grisaia

Story 7/10 - The story follows Kazami Yuuji, Yuuji has had a very, very troubled past and joins a school with only 5 other students other then him, he hopes to do this in the hope of having at least some normality in his life. He eventually meets these 5 other students, 5 girls who themselves have faced trauma in thier lives, one at a time Yuuji supports them in overcoming thier past. My only complaint with the story is how it is laid out. The story is kind of laid out in arcs, with each arc focusing on a certain female character. The problemwith this is that it causes the anime to have serious pacing issues, for example one arc takes 5 episodes, but an other one takes about 2.

Art 6/10 - The enviornment and background art is good, although the character design has a some flaws, an example is with some female characters with long hair, the hair can sometimes be seen going behind thier eye but other then that the art is good.

Sound 5/10 - Honestly this by far is the weakest aspect of the anime, no piece of music stuck out as being rememberable, although the VA fitted the characters well.

Characters 7/10 - I felt we got to know a decent amount about the characters during each of thier arcs, there is a good balance of differing personalities between the girls, and the MC is good as well with dealing with the emotional trauma these girls have faced, coming up with very different ways to deal with the very different types of pain that these girls have gone through.

Enjoyment 8/10 - This anime has good characters, has good amounts of comedy, while retaining the seriousness as well. If you can excuse the pacing especially during last 5 episodes of the anime, then it is a decent one to watch.
