Review of The Fruit of Grisaia

Season 1 of the show, it's honestly not a bad start. It's a bit goofy how many panty shots are in this, there's some nudity, but the stand out oddness is how this show is just weirdly horny during moments that should be taken seriously. That contributes to this season being really uneven. We get backstories for each of the girls, many of which feel rushed because a whole route of the graphic novel was condensed into a single episode. Still, a couple of them work, providing some really strong pathos. Others range from confusing messes to being outright disgusting watches. There are even acouple of homages to famous films like Léon: The Professional and Lord of the Flies. If the arc they chose to spend most of this season developing wasn't such a complete and utter mess, I'd probably rate it higher.
