Premieres sometime in 2024. This is an anime adaptation of a visual novel game. From what I can gather there were previous OVA adaptations (mostly crowdfunded), but that this is going to be an entire series. Check out the ANN article for more information. Synopsis of the previous installment in the series from AniList:
While Rena and Maki recover from their injuries, the other SORD members jet off overseas for a school trip. Within moments of their arrival, though, the Mihama gang are pulled into a manhunt for a SORD deserter, assisted by student Sylvia and Velvet of St. Aile’s International School. Tohka’s the star of the show this time round, but she’s wrestling with her own issues - old memories of her parents, and a promise to a friend that she wasn’t able to keep…

Hey VN people, do I have this right in the post above? I was trying to make sense of all the different ova/movie/show installments in this series on AniList and how they are all tied in to each other. It seems like a bit of a tangled web as somebody completely unfamiliar with the series.

The VNs go like this:
Original Trilogy:
The Fruit of Grisaia -> The Labyrinth of Grisaia -> The Eden of Grisaia
They all got anime adaptations with the same names. I hear they are a fun watch but cut a LOT of content, in particular from the first game (12 episodes for a VN with an an average length of 75h on VNDB).
Phantom Trigger:
Grisaia: Phantom Trigger Vol. 1 -> Vol. 2 -> Vol. 3 -> Vol. 4 -> Vol. 5 -> Vol. 5.5 -> Vol. 6 -> Vol. 7 -> Vol. 8
Takes place in the same universe but it’s an indepentent story, it only contains a few references to the original trilogy.
From the descriptions on Anilist, I believe the first movie adapted the first two volumes of the VN, and the second movie adapted the third volume.

Thank you! I updated the text of the post accordingly. I don’t really do VNs generally, so this is helpful.
