SolvyTwerk4Jesus said: Because it isn't as good as Nagi no Asukara and came out way too soon. If pa works wanted to phone something in like this, they should have waited a bit. mayukachan said: A 6 means it's above average but lacks something to be good. It's not a 6 or even near a 6. The 2s and 3s are a bit too much IMO. I see this as a 4 or 5. And @ the worst show of the season... Can't forget Rail Wars!, Himegoto and the other ecchi crap of the season that I don't bother to pick up :P This is a 7.5 my mal standards. Also Rail Wars is a pretty fun show. Maybe if you werent so sexually frustrated you could enjoy sexual comedy. Anime isnt supposed to change your life you know. Cant defend Himegoto. It is shit. For the genre this is in, it is that bad. The romance is awful and the drama has zero impact and develops out of no where. It is bad. Nagi no Asukara has nothing to do with this...at all. Just because it's helmed by PA Works? So what. Nagi no Asukara is good because everything was good. Glasslip is bad because it makes no flipping sense 10 weeks into the story and you the viewer could care less about anything going on. Let alone the characters themselves since there is no meaningful development since the dialogue is straight up awful. For a romance/drama that is a death nail. It's listed as a slice of life...that doesn't even make sense imo. Agreed. Rail Wars is fun to watch each week and isn't bad at all given it's genre. Hell the characters in that show have had more meaningful interaction and development than this drama. Ya...Himegoto lol it's to stupid to take seriously. |
| I don't even like the OP/ED songs for Glasslip. Remember Nagiasu's godly OP/EDs? Yeah. I miss those. They matched the show and tugged heartstrings. The Nagiasu EDs fit the whole water theme too, which was amazing. SolvyTwerk4Jesus said: Also Rail Wars is a pretty fun show. Maybe if you werent so sexually frustrated you could enjoy sexual comedy. Fun...okay. It's just quite disappointing as well when it looked decent. I'm not sexually frustrated. LOL The ecchi isn't aimed at females in the first place, so I'm not supposed to be turned on by any of it. |
| I wouldnt say I dislike the anime. Some scenes made me laugh but after 10 episode I still wonder if nothing happened, or something DID happen but it was such an minor thing that to me, its nothing. 3 episodes left so Im not gonna drop it, but I really hope there will be something big in the end. |
| I'm finding this show highly enjoyable and as of now I am on episode 5. I think the reason for why I'm enjoying it is because it doesn't have any of the (at least for me personally) awful typical Anime things in it. There's no super stereotypical characters, there's no ecchi, I love that it doesn't have these things. I think it makes this show feel more like a pure slice of life with a bit of classic teenage drama. For me, this show has been really good so far. I don't watch a lot of Slice of Life because I'm not a big fan of the genre since it's usually so... "Anime-typical" all the time. So I believe this is a show more for those who enjoy watching a drama without "watching an Anime", if you get what I'm saying. |

You're probably not looking for the right ones. There's stuff like Uchuu Kyoudai, Hachimitsu to Clover, Mushishi, Natsume Yuujinchou and Nodame if you want non-cliche/non-anime style SOL. |

y123y said: Hating a show for a good reason is not a problem and I can understand the people who hate it for the plot,characters(they have the right to voice their opinions) but to hate it simply because it's a romance and not a show a bout glass making is just silly in my opinion. Yeah, I too can understand hate for the plot and the characters, but it seems to me that a big part of those that dislike this show simply doesn't like it because of their expectations they had for this show based on the studio that made it. I've not seen any of their other works but I kinda feel that going into a new show that's totally standalone with that 'attitude' is, well, wrong. I know, it is very hard to not be biased in these situations, I've been there myself a few times, but I try to stay as unbiased as I can most of the time to keep myself from these situations. So I understand, and it's perfectly fine :) As for the genre and what it was advertised as, doesn't just having romance in it label it as a romance show, even though it isn't the main focus? Does it have to be the driving force behind the entire show? I've always thought of gebres and labels as more of a pointer to what one can expect to encounter during the viewing. I mean, for exampke there's an insane amount of "Horror-Anime" that is labeled as such, but aren't really horror at all, they just contain elements or bits of it. I think the same goes for Romance, at least in my eyes. But that's just my cents on this whole thingy ^^ I like this show, I find it very enjoyable and relaxing. As for those who don't, I respect your opinions and I'm sorry this wasn't the show you were looking for :/ Chin up, there's always more moose in the ocean! :) Cheers! |
| I wonder how the fanbase in japan react? just interesting to see what they think, i hope that P.A work will see the dissatisfaction and hopefully make better anime next time. |

| Good visuals can only take an Anime so far. The story is very, very weak. The writers simply dropped the ball on this one. |
Seriousti said: Good visuals can only take an Anime so far. The story is very, very weak. The writers simply dropped the ball on this one. When I watch this show, I wonder how the producers are releasing an episode each week without watching it themselves and feeling regret. Do they actually think it's decent or good? Or do they think "lol fuck this. we'll do better next season with shirobako!" |
| To be honest, I like this show but that's because I'm kinda crazy for romance things, so I don't care if it doesn't have any plot at all. Yet,I can understand that people are kinda mad about it since it doesn't have any plot at all, it's only about romance and that's it, there's no drama, no action, no adventure, not even comedy, it's only character development and a tiny bit of romance so far. Maybe you guys were expecting something like Golden Time, a good romance with very good drama. |
| People tend to hate or dislike something they don't understand. In Glasslip's case, we've stayed with it for 11 weeks...11 weeks and we still don't know what is happening. I think even the writers don't know what they want to do with it. This wouldn't have passed any kind of peer evaluation you know >__> |

| I take my words back- it's a pretty bad show ;^;... |

nakanokimi said: This is a huge question for me, since I think this show is one of the best anime I have seen in ten years of watching anime. It is so far above any other show this season that I could just stop watching all the others. It is serious, emotional, moving, beautifully animated, and has some of the most effective background sound I have ever heard. The characters worked for me right from the beginning. I really do not understand at all why other people don't feel the same way. To me, people are here presented with something unique, crisp and wonderful, but they keep demanding that it be slower and more ordinary. The various romances have been proceeding in their own spaces, paced wonderfully by the staff, it seems to me. It's like a novel in which the various subplots are presented in alternating chapters. I would give this show a ten, so far, which is something I have only done a couple of times before (Simoun, Honey & Clover and NANA, as far as I recall). That may be a big part of the problem: if you don't love romance, this show is not for you. To me, the characters in this show are all real people with real inner lives. I can see them thinking and feeling, and can understand where they are coming from. The design of the faces is one of the outstanding things here. The big eyes allow the animators to exactly and effectively show the play of emotions in each character. As well as directing True Tears, this director (Nishimura Junji) did Simoun, which is my all-time favorite anime. I can understand why that was not popular, since lots of people can't relate to yuri. But if you enjoy romance, the only question here is whether any of the characters appeal to you. Touko, Kakeru, Sachi and Yana-chan are all extremely attractive to me, and Yuki is coming up fast, as he overcomes his reverse in love and becomes a deeper person. Even Hiro is beginning to rescue himself in my eyes. And I can feel the passions of all the characters: the mutual (and mutually misunderstood) electricity between Touko and Kakeru, Sachi's gentle confusion, Hiro's moe-stricken puppy love, Yana-chan's desperation, Yuki's disappointment and now dawning understanding of who he has right next to him. The background sound -- cicadas, birds, trucks, the sea, etc., etc. -- is all used perfectly to immerse the viewer in a scene. The sound director is Tsujitani Kouji, the veteran seiyuu who played the Irresponsible Captain Tylor. He also was sound director on Simoun. As for the OP, it also is one of my all-time favorites, right up there with ChouCho's Hyouka OP. It is one of the few OPs I watch every single time I watch each episode -- and I end up watching each episode between three and five times, with great enjoyment each time. ChouCho's song and singing are wonderful, and the animation is wonderful, too. We basically see the whole anime laid out before our eyes. I don't want to be rude, but you must have really horrible taste. This is like thinking Aku no Hana is a wonderfully animated and designed anime. No one in their right mind of good taste can honestly think this garbage is any good at all. "If you don't love romance, this show is not for you." Lol. Plenty of people here like romance but most people who like romance also hate this show because it's BORING. |

| Well for me I really didn't like the characters because they were kinda boring. But I guess that kinda fits the show because the rest of it was really boring to me because almost nothing interesting happened. And I guess I was also pretty disappointed because I kept comparing this show to Nagiasu. |

| I'll start off by saying rating this a 1/10 is pretty unfair IMO, it wasn't THAT bad. The problem I have with this series is that it was seemingly artsy for the sake of being artsy, symbolic for the sake of being symbolic, and dramatic for the sake of being dramatic. All of these elements were just "there" much like how there is pointless fanservice in anime. There was really no need for any of it in a story basically about friendships and the uncertainty of growing up. You don't need symbolism and trippy visuals about going to get lunch at McDonald's. Heavy symbolism needs an equally heavy ending/payoff for it to be satisfying IMO. This is no different than a romance needing a romantic ending, or an action anime needing an ending with action. Had this been a simple slice of life with a few dream sequences here and there with more focus on the characters it would have been a lot better. |
| I just hate the last 2 episodes and unexplained situations where why can only them see the fragments and what happened to the whole friendship |

| I can't share the same hatred as everyone else. But I think I would have also dropped this if I had to sit through 12 episodes at once. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Glasslip left me the feeling of having seen something nice, but alarmingly empty and boring. For twelve episodes, there wasn't anything worth mentioning, as it was full of banal comments and absurd situations. |
