The first 5 minutes of "Grisaia: Phantom Trigger THE ANIMATION" anime will be distributed on Nico Live in advance!

Grisaia: Phantom Trigger THEANIMATION" is scheduled for theatrical screening on March 15. Prior to the screening, the first five minutes of the anime will be shown on Nico Nico Live on March 13.

Grisaia: Phantom Trigger THEANIMATION" is the latest in the trilogy of the "Grisaia" anime series. The main creators of the first work, "Grisaia no kajitsu" (The Fruit of Grisaia), have come together again to depict a story of girls colored by blood and gunpowder.

Prior to the theatrical screening, the first 5 minutes of the anime will be shown on Nico Nico Live Broadcast on March 13, during the broadcast of "Labyrinth of Grisaia" & "Grisaia's Paradise" ( # )!
You will be able to see the tense action scenes of the students who belong to the secret organization "SORD".

Take a glimpse at it! ▼ The film will also be shown in Tokyo on February 15.

In addition, the official report of the "hit prayer ceremony" held at the Tokyo Grand Shrine on February 15 has arrived! Let's take a look at it right away.

The ceremony was attended by the staff of the original Front Wing, the staff of the animation production company Vively Animation Studio, and the voice actress Mikako Izawa (playing the role of Akio Arisaka) as the leader of the publicity team.

The prayer ceremony was held in a solemn atmosphere. The name of the work was read out loud during the prayer, a beautiful sacred music was performed by the shrine maidens, and during the tamagushi (a small wooden stick with a tamagushi attached to it) ceremony, the participants were able to offer the stick with their wishes for a hit, despite their nervous faces.

Front Wing producer Ryuichiro Yamakawa and Mr. Izawa gave the following comments.

<Staff Comments

--What were your impressions of the prayer?

Izawa: It was the first time for me to participate in such a prayer service, and I was not sure of what was right and what was left, and I was also sleepy because it was early in the morning (laugh). Yamakawa: It was my first time at the Tokyo Grand Shrine.

Yamakawa: I have been to the Tokyo Daijingu Shrine before to have a purification ceremony on New Year's Day, but this was the first time for me to pray for a work, and I felt strange when the title of my work was read out.

Izawa The title was read out, wasn't it?

Yamakawa: This time I was also able to offer a tamagushi, and I am glad that I was able to pray.

--Please give a message to the fans and readers of your works.

Izawa: If you start playing the game "Grisaia: Phantom Trigger" from the first volume now, the hurdle is high, and I think there are people who wonder if the work is right for them. I think there are some people who wonder if the game is right for them.

Since "Grisaia: Phantom Trigger THEANIMATION" will be released in theaters on March 15, those of you who have been curious about Grisaia can get to know Phantom Trigger from the very beginning at this time. I believe that the theater animation will be a great opportunity for game fans to enjoy the game even more.

I hope that the theatrical animation will be an opportunity for game fans to become more interested in the game, and for those who are new to the game, it will be a gateway to the game. I hope that you will not regret seeing this film, so please take the time to see it.

Yamakawa: One of the features of this work is that the pictures by Akio Watanabe, who created the original game, move as is. The creators have become so accustomed to this that they forget to show off their work (laugh), but the fact that it moves as it does is something that you don't see in other productions.

Mr. Watanabe has corrected more than 1/3 of the cuts, and the quality has been further improved since the special screening. This is a point of attention that only an animator could have done, so I hope you will come to the theater on the first day of its release to see it. I hope you will come to the theater on the first day of its release to see it.
