I really wanted to like Nagi no Asukara. The underwater setting was gorgeous along with the character design, and it's genre of romance drama was right up my ally.
It started off fairly well-I enjoyed the first couple of episodes. But after passing the 5th, I began to like the characters less and less. Manaka became annoying and overemotional, Hikari became nonsensical in his actions, and I still wouldn't be able to tell you s*** about Kaname (who's name I had to google to remember) because while the show gave decent amounts of development to its other main characters, Kaname didn't even have enough screen time ... for me to have the slightest idea what his personality is like. Chisaki remains the only decent character in my book, but even she can be overdramatic/nonsensical at times.

The plot- or rather, the drama surrounding it- was overdramatized in every aspect and felt extremely forced. That in combination with characters that have little likability made for a show that ceased to be enjoyable for me after I got over the "ooo pretty ocean village" aspect.

Now, I couldn't make it past the 6th episode, so maybe it does get better. But the part I did watch was quite "meh."
