Tomoe Tamiyasu and Ai Shimizu on stage at the talk stage to look back on the past "Grisaia" series.

Both actresses took the stage after being invited by the host, Mr. Atobe of Front Wing. After the greeting, Ms. Atobe left the stage immediately, and Ms. Tamiyasu and Ms. Shimizu took the lead.

Despite the late hour, many "Grisaia" fans had gathered at the venue. Some said they were from Oita. The audience cheered when the "Importance of Sleep" T-shirt, for which there had been many requests for resale, was announced for sale.

With this excitement, the stage moved on to talks on different themes.

All-night event to emphasize the importance of sleep

The first topic of the talk was "Looking back on Grisaia no Kajitsu & memorable scenes.

First, for those who are new to "Grisaia," a brief synopsis of "Grisaia" was introduced. When Shimizu-san introduced the story of Yuji Kazami, an invincible soldier who comes to Mihama Academy and "resolves the trauma of Yumiko Sakaki who has a dark heart, Amane Suo who has a dark heart, Makina Irisu who has a dark heart, Michiru Matsushima who has a dark heart, and Sachi Komine who actually has a bomb", fans familiar with this work They seemed to be convinced.

Tamiyasu-san, who is familiar with "Grisaia" but whose story would be full of dark characters if he tried to explain it in a simple way, recalled a memorable episode in the third episode of "Fruits of Grisaia," just before the darkness of the heart begins to show itself.

He also mentioned that Director Tenshu explained to him that "the fun only ends here," and he appealed that the entire staff had worked together to include this episode in the production.

The gap between the school romantic comedy atmosphere of "The Fruit of Grisaia" up to the third episode and the more serious development after that was introduced as a highlight.

When the audience succeeded in getting a complete grasp of "Grisaia," they were informed that a mysterious letter had arrived, and the sender, Magroman, went on to the theme of five questions.

The letter was delivered to the sender, who then asked five questions on the theme of "What is the most memorable scene or line of dialogue throughout the series?" and "What is your favorite fresh fish in real life? Tuna Man's typical (?) question, "What is your favorite fresh fish in real life? Tuna man-like (?) questions also popped up.

Tamiyasu-san's favorite fresh fish was "mackerel," while Shimizu-san answered "salmon from Cosco.

When asked, "If you could shuffle the characters and cast, who would you want to play whom? Shimizu answered, "A popular character....

Next, Mr. Ryuichiro Yamakawa, representative of Frontwing, was invited to participate in the talk session.

He talked about the overseas development of the "Grisaia" series, and talked about the fierce overseas fans who have endless collections of Makina's goods. The highlights of "Labyrinth" and "Rakuen" were also discussed, and the "Operation to Retrieve Yuji" episode 8 of "Rakuen," which is very popular among fans, was introduced. Makina and Sachi, played by the two actors, play a major role in the episode, and it is a great episode that will be a major highlight of the upcoming screenings.

Mr. Yamakawa talks about how the fact that the film was made in CinemaScope size despite being a TV animation came in handy at this event, as well as the response overseas.

After Mr. Yamakawa left the stage, the audience moved on to the theme of "Looking Back on the Characters.

The audience nodded their heads in agreement as they listened to his first impressions of each of the characters and their growth and development. Makina, who had been a cute junior, grew not only as a sniper but also as a human being, and Sachi overcame her trauma.

Tamiyasu talked about how Makina, who unconsciously tries to stay with "someone who protects her," is becoming more independent.

Finally, the talk stage came to a close with a sales corner and announcements about the smartphone application "Grisaia Chronos Rebellion," which is currently in development.

It was a great opening for fans who will be immersed in "Grisaia" until morning.

The "Grisaia" series has been with fans since the days of adult PC games. We look forward to the excitement of "Grisaia: Phantom Trigger The Animation," which is currently being screened to rave reviews.

The audience was also excited by the live "Koroso ♡" by Ms. Shimizu.
