Tensho directs at new Bibury Animation Studio for 2018 debut

A teaser website for the television anime adaptation of Frontwing's Grisaia: Phantom Trigger game opened on Friday and revealed a promotional video, key visual, the theme song artists, and the main cast for the anime. The video previews the opening theme song performed by Maon Kurosaki.

The visual features the characters Rena (voiced by Maaya Uchida) and Maki (voiced by Yoshino Nanjō).

The anime's cast includes:

The cast members are reprising their roles from the game.

The anime's first two episodes are slated to debut simultaneously this year.

Anime director Tensho founded the new animation studio Bibury Animation Studio to produce the anime as its first work. Akio Watanabe, the original character designer for the Grisaia franchise, is serving as the anime's character designer and chief animation director. Ryuichiro Yamakawa is producing the anime.

Nanjō is performing the ending theme song. Grisaia series scriptwriter Yoshikazu Kuwashima wrote the lyrics for both theme songs, and Grisaia series theme song composer Hitoshi Fujima (Elements Garden) returned to compose the songs.

Tensho's previous directorial credits include Kinmoza! Kiniro + Mosaic and its sequel, all three Grisaia anime (The Fruit of Grisaia, The Labyrinth of Grisaia, The Eden of Grisaia), and both seasons of Rewrite. He has also done animation and character design under the name Motoki Tanaka.

Frontwing released the first two volumes of the game both in Japanese and with English text for PC in April 2017. "Volume 5" of the game will launch in Japan on July 27, and it is slated to launch in English this summer.

Video game and visual novel translation company Sekai Project launched Frontwing's The Fruit of Grisaia on Steam in 2015 after meeting its Kickstarter goal for a Western release of the game trilogy. Frontwing and Sekai Project have also released other two games, The Labyrinth of Grisaia and The Eden of Grisaia, on Steam. Frontwing released the The Fruit of Grisaia bonus episode "The Leisure of Grisaia" on Steam in May 2016.

All three of the main games inspired anime and manga adaptations.
