With three volumes in the visual novel series released previously, the reveal hit last summer that an anime adaptation for Grisaia: Phantom Trigger is in the works. Still apparently set for a 2018 debut, Frontwing revealed an English subtitled version of the previously released trailer at Anime Expo. The company revealed that an English language site has gone live and they’re doing a Kickstarter for people to get in on taking preorders through it for the Blu-ray release campaign that should start by December. The minimum buy-in for it is $99 which gets you the first two feature-length episodes.
The show is still intended to be streamed on various platforms with a simultaneous worldwide debut planned for this year.

Plot Concept: Grisaia: Phantom Trigger takes place after the existing Grisaia trilogy, and features a completely new group of heroines as well as a new protagonist. The story follows a class of students at Mihama Academy, which has been converted by anti-terror organization CIRS into a “specialist training school” for a new generation of operatives.
