I'm the sort of person who will never flame, roast, reject or laugh at anyone's opinion on what anime they enjoy. Its a subjective medium and should be viewed subjectively.
I rate anime for their characters, and narrative. Everything is just complementary. Art style, and CGI have very little impact compared to a character's personality, beliefs, traits and development.

But I have to agree with you on the water aspect. It's kind of flimsy because other than them just saying they need water, it's all show and no tell at all. And the showing is kind of vague. Obviously, how the world got to that point is a mystery, but the characters don't comment much on the snow sea, explain much about its properties compared to the regular sea, or anything else. It looks kind of snowish/bubbly on the surface, but kind of just seems like regular sea water when they submerge. I don't know... a little rushed. I get the "snow foil" stuff, but it's not explored well.
I don't remember, but that scene in episode 3 (I think), where Liliha and Kaina lock hands while submerged in the snow sea... the idea is she floats because of the snow foil, but he would sink if they weren't holding hands because I don't think he had any? My memory is a little foggy. I'm not sure if Kaina ever even got any. Kaina and the prince I assume didn't have any while they were walking along the roots, or they would have floated. I don't really know.
I know a lot of knowledge was lost, but I imagine they know about distillation as it's a useful survival skill to pass on (and their level of advancement is pretty decent, so I don't believe they would overlook distillation). So my guess is the snow sea has some strange property that prevents distillation. But that's pure speculation.
Well, there's still the movie.
Are you planning on checking out the manga? I was actually wanting to do that instead because of the CGI back when the series started, but I think it wasn't available when I looked.
Hope you are safe and doing fine during these testing Covid times
Looking forward to some great interactions on various anime in the days 2 come :)
P.s- Great Rakudai, Phantom world and SAO underworld reviews, you really stayed true to your own opinion on the above anime as a whole without jumping on the hate bandwagon, which is quite rare to see in people nowadays.
For each category in the review ( character, story, animation etc.) I provided my reason of why I disliked it. From this review came a few hateful, toxic and arrogant comments. For others who are facing similar situations the best thing you can do is ignore the comments and delete them. Reporting is also valid. But if you want to confront these problem people, then call them out for what they are. Tell them that their comments are hurtful. Tell them their comments are toxic. Tell them that you don't care about their opinion. Remind them of their arrogance BUT never say anything mean or hurtful to them. Don't spread the hate.
Everyone has different opinions. That's ok, even if their views don't align with yours. Dont get heated up because some says your fav anime sucks. Be the better person.
