Grisaia: Phantom Trigger TV Anime Announced

Grisaia: Phantom Trigger is getting a TV anime adaptation by Bibury Animation Studios, nearly two years after the movie adaptations premiered. A special visual featuring Chris, Murasaki, Taiga, and Yuki has been revealed:

Grisaia: Phantom Trigger is an adult visual novel by Frontwing. It is a part of the Grisaia franchise, which started with The Fruit of Grisaia in 2011. The visual novels feature character designs by Akio Watanabe (Higurashi New) and Fumio.

The first anime adaptation The Fruit of Grisaia by studio 8-bit aired in 2014 and was followed by a TV special The Labyrinth of Grisaia in 2015. The sequel TV anime The Eden of Grisaia aired in 2015 and was also animated by 8-bit. Bibury Animation Studios animated the next installments in the series, which were the Grisaia: Phantom Trigger movies. The first, Grisaia: Phantom Trigger the Animation premiered on March 15, 2019, while the sequel Grisaia: Phantom Trigger the Animation Stargazer followed in November 2020.

The new Grisaia: Phantom Trigger TV anime project doesn’t have a set release date. Staff information hasn’t been revealed yet, but Frontwing and Wowmax are producing it.

This new incarnation of Mihama Academy is home to a diverse group of students, who every day work to polish their unusual skills – sometimes on the job. There’s a gunslinger called Rena (nickname: “The Rabid Dog”), a sniper named Tohka, a demolitions expert called Chris, a spy named Murasaki, and finally, Haruto, their handler. Together they make up an agency called SORD (Social Ops, Research & Development). The specialist training school now entrusts the misfit girls who attend it with guns and live ammunition in the name of national defense.
Paying their own safety no heed, these students are again and again plunged into dangerous extrajudicial missions – all for the good of the realm.
“We’ve been granted a place in the world. That alone isn’t enough – there wouldn’t be any meaning in living if that was all we had… It’s not enough just to get by on the backs of others. I live by my own strength, and I fight to survive. Because only the survivors among us belong with the living…”
No matter how much life grinds them down, what future awaits these girls, who’ve themselves chosen the path of the gun?
