| Hooray misunderstandings...the basis of all good romantic drama... But seriously I really want to like this as a fan of NagiAsu but its as if they are just taking the tropes of that anime and not innovating at all to make it special. |
| The more I watch this the more I think just how terrible Touko's personality is.. like seriously. David is still the most interesting character and lol @ the comment about the most likely ship being Touko x Sachi, you're probably right with where this is going. The only thing that keeps me interested is the animation. |
| Needs a better director. The poor character development is really showing... Shouldn't there be more in-depth plot about David's and Touko's future sighting? Would be much more interesting but as for now, it seems their abilities hold no important meaning. Guess that part comes later, but why late.. I just hope this will get better since I don't want the good characters, artstyle and animation go to waste. |
iNorichann1 said: Kakeru x Yanagi OTP.Loved this episode because of the Yanagi X Kakeru scene <3 I was waiting/hoping for them to encounter and they did. u_u MC is plain annoying and too much "EHHHHH?!". She like Kakeru and now misunderstands that super duper cute accidental hug. be jelly. That date though,lol. And it looks like Yanagi confesses next episode? |
 |
LonelyWizard said: heh, right :D  I almost died laughing when this scene happened. |
| Too many love confessions and some more misunderstandings. Hiro, you just wasted a great opportunity. |
| I still like this series a lot but I agree on some that there has to be more development (: |

| Don't really like any of the characters so far tbh... Well maybe the crazy driver nee-chan. |
| Kind of a slower episode, and not much ultimately happened. Hiro finally went on a date with Sachi, which was cute and all, except for the fact he fell asleep. He was doing so good before too...I knew the misunderstandings would come after Kakeru was nice to Yanagi, I knew it was coming... All in all, it was just an okay episode. |
| Chopin Nocturne Opus 9 No. 2 AGAIN! I'm telling you, best classical piece of Chopin |
| This show should be renamed to Slowslip. Is this really 1-cour? For 4 episodes now I am asking myself what's this show is really about, nothing really happened so far. Apart from that scene with Yanagi x Kakeru there was nothing interesting this time. AnoHana had feels. NagiAsu had drama. This anime has neither. |
| So many misunderstandings >.< Also, what the hell is with Hiro. He finally scored a date and he falls asleep, lol. |
 |
| In accordance with the preview for the next episode, basically the only sound I could make during the entire show was: Eeeeehh????? I can't really even call it a story right now. We had bits and pieces of scenes that could very well have been from different stories all compiled into one 24 minute episode of airing. First we have the continuation of the "Failed Confession Route": Yuki stalks Touko back to school, sits around and chats a bit. Tells her to her face (this part I love, because he actually made her realise her own undiscovered feelings, effectively killing his own chances with her) that she is in love with Kakeru. Yuki runs off, end story. Second, we have Yannagi spraining her ankle and then calling Touko out for a chat in which she mentions (like for the third time in three episodes) that "Omahgahd, Kakeru is like, so Hot". Then she bumps into him, they have a chat in the rain and "share a moment". For some reason I get the feeling that Yannagi was telling the truth that she was never gonna confess to Yuki. Now it feels like she might try going after Kakeru to get her mind off her "un-family-like" thoughts of Yuki. In the end this'll turn into a triangle, with Yuki being completely out of the loop (he has the forever alone feel to him). That's probably gonna be the source of Yannagi's tears from Touko's clairvoyance. Who knows, maybe Yuki gets jealous that Kakeru stole all the girls in their group and goes full Yandere on him or something (lolz), and both girls will cry their eyes out in the aftermath. Third, we have Hiro spending the summer with Sachi, doing things that Sachi likes at the expense of his own boredom. He's trying to make it seem like he's into what she does, but it doesn't seem to work. You would think this set is the most stable, but we all know that the "Hospital scene" is just around the corner. By the way, did anyone notice how Kakeru received his "Clairvoyance" when he was listening to Classical? For one thing, I think that his type of "foresight" may actually not be so much that he "Sees" things, but he "Hears" a sentence here and a sentence there and manages to piece it together somehow. Touko on the other hand actually sees images of future events or something. Ah well.... here's hoping that something actually happens in the next episode. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| What happened with this episode? So many useless scenes with awkward interactions between the characters. Duri1n said: I'm also getting annoyed bcos I'm still scratching my head wondering why the hell he even likes Sachi... Also this. Can someone tell me how can he be in love with such a boring girl? |
 |
| Omg, the friendzone vibes are so strong. I'm such a masochist for watching this LOL. My ship is not sailing at all. Yanagi still strikes me as the most interesting female. Sachi is another boring megane girl while Touko is all "Ehhhh?!?!" and obliviious which I don't like in a protagonist. Not gonna expect the plot to get good anymore. I'll just sit back and enjoy the decent SOL moments they have. No matter how cruddy the plot is, it's still a good show to watch in the summer. |
| Every individual scene was nice and and all, but it just doesn't come together. They also skipped pretty fast from Yanagi with a strained leg in the rain, being "saved" by Okikura, leading to the typical misunderstanding..to her running around like nothing ever happend. The whole point of the strained leg (we didn't even see how it happend) was simply to make her share a somehwat romantic moment with Okikura, so she can develop feeling for him, and to set up that misunderstanding. She could have been hit by a bus and out cold for two years, the show would progress exactly the same. And that glass crafting seems pointless, too. Touko never really creates something. The things she did so far where all rather simple, and we didn't even see the full process, either. It's just serves as reason for her to stare into glass all the time and get visions of the future. I would expect more of the daughter (or son) of a glass artisian with his own studio. Given that she supposedely dreams of becoming a glass artisian like her dad, she had like 10+ years to learn already. Other people have to do that in 3 years + the theoretical side + not having direct access like that (glass crafting is a recognized job with formal training of 3 years here in Germany). Ultimately, Touku will get Okikura. Touko is fascinated by him, they share the ability of "seeing" (hearing) the future, and Okikura literally stalked her for a bit. Yuki is out of question now anyways..so yeah, not much left. Unless she would end up without anyone, but then it would not be because Okikura chose Yanagi or anything. |
| And thus Jonathan and Roger make their triumphant return since episode 1! |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| So what is this show about? Everything still feels off and awkward. Touko parent interactions are a lot more fun to watch than the main cast so far. |
 |
| This show felt really slow, but it's nice to see some character development (especially for the Sacchan and the short boy ^^v). Other than that, now some misunderstanding between Touko and Okikura x Yanagi relationship eh? Complicated. |

| Man, Hiro is frikking retarded, I'd punch the shit out of him. That misundertanging in the end felt kinda forced, especially if Yana isn't going to fall for Kakeru. But then again if she does, I'd be kind of content :D |
  |
| I'm starting to dislike Touko now, what I mean is she confusing me who is the one she truly like? But yeah, I hope Kakeru and Yana's bond will be more developed. If Hiro really likes Sachi then he wouldn't sleep in a movie date, not that funny. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
Meritas said: Man, Hiro is frikking retarded, I'd punch the shit out of him. I would lend my hand for this. |
| What to say about this anime so for it has been nothing special it's not bad but it doesn't stand out either. And compared with some previous PA works it clearly lacks something. Then again a studio has it good works and it's less good works and you can't expect everything to be perfect. I thought the first episode was a bit to random and tho things got explained in the second episode it's hasn't really made up for it's randomness. Things are still a bit messy. This anime has some points to improve on. |
| Ugh. Please get to explaining how in the hell they can see into the future and stop pulling these dramatic scenes out the ass. Still don't like David and his smartass, and damn it touko. I don't want to watch this but I'm too curious to see if it ends in Touko x Yuki. |
 |
| She tripped a little and now that stupid chick thinks she digs David. How stupid is that |
 |
| So If Im as good as I think I am.. Toko and Yuki will end up together and Yana and Kakeru will end up together. I was shipping Toko and Kakeru but it seems them both being able to see the future is not enough of a bond. and it seems in one ep interaction between yana and kakeru they hit it off more. Toko blushes when Yuki speaks to her. I think she loves him but is hesistating due to her friendship with yana. This anime is way too easy to figure out. ITs going to end up like Nagi. I really wanted to learn about Kakeru. I will assume that the reason why he moved in with his dad is because the mom is dead? hmm... |
| That was quite a bold move from Touko's father to talk about a younger woman's "attraction" to him in front of his wife. |

solomon585858 said: For me this anime making completely copy of Nagi no Asukara. Two girls it seems will try to compete over Yukinari (Touko and Yanagi) and Kakeru will be like a replacement for Yanagi. I don't really like it and for now Kakeru it seems is like a stranger to other five. I especially dislike Sachi who is very plain character for me disliking (it seems because of her love towards Touko) the main male character. It would be best for Kakeru to leave this town... well it is same creator.. what were you expecting.. |
| Thread Cleaned Please do not post simple replies or reactions. Be more descriptive of what you did or didn't enjoy. So... this series is showing a love polygon similar if not a clone of Nagi no Asukara... Please change it a bit or try not to make it so predictable. I'm sorta loling at the people who think she is using the crutch wrong... that is how you use a single crutch lol, though I don't see why she isn't using two of them. So we got to see Touko a bit sad... maybe we will see more sides of other characters as well. Needs more information on the past of characters for more depth. |
Zelot said: I'm sorta loling at the people who think she is using the crutch wrong... that is how you use a single crutch lol, though I don't see why she isn't using two of them. Shouldn't it be on the other side, to take the weight off of the injured foot? I've never used crutches before, but that's how I've always assumed a single crutch would be used. |
| http://i.imgur.com/UHpRtrV.png Smooth move, Hiro... |
 |
| Hum, I would rather they focused on the "future visions" and slice of life than the usual love polygons. Romance is great but I hate misunderstandings, lol. Im hoping this improves. Anyway the art is absolutely lovely. |

| Damn, I really had moderate hopes for this show but it's not living up to them. 12 eps total and still nothing is happening by the 4th ep. Focusing on the drama and triang relations doesn't need to be an issue but it will be if it continues to be at the cost of fleshing the characters out. |
| Nagi no Asukara is similar to Glasslip but better in every aspect, so head on over to that and drop this crap. I can't even explain how this anime could come this far and not have any development in the plot, given the bland characters, poorly executed pacing, and filler scenes, that's just my opinion though. The overall rating doesn't lie either. |
 |
| Many people comparing this to Nagi no Asukara, which I dropped on episode 2 due to wanting to strangle one of the main characters. Needless to say I like this better than what I saw of that. I want them to make more use of the future visions. Like, I want to see Touko have some sort of vision or visions that she deliberately tries to avoid making a reality. I want her to have some vision that seems terrible but turns out to be innocuous.

The overall rating doesn't lie either. I think that's rather harsh, although I'm concerned that 13 episodes won't be enough, and I don't get the sense that this will be something like Tari Tari where they can produce something that 'works' even if they half-assed a few of the character arcs. |

The overall rating doesn't lie either. consider that this show reflects more the real life and not a perfect written drama line like in „nagi no asukara”. life has not a perfect pacing, often the plot of someones life is not developing some time, and the someone does not have extraordinary characteristics like “breathing under water“. ;p this show is more realistic (and i like that) so sometimes things like that happen. its not (until now) a show with superdramatic things or whatever (besides the future thing, but thats until now a minor aspect). also also there are still 8 episodes to go. lets wait and see. ;p |
| Ha, sleeping in a tent in your own backyard, that's pretty cool. It looks like Kakeru heard something from the future. Yanagi got hurt and Touko first thought that Sachi was the one being hospitalized, she misunderstood her vision of the future. Friendship punch lol. Ah, the chickens again... long time no see guys! Haha, it's Yukinari not Kakeru... Hiro sure is a funny guy XD. LOL, Yukinari is thinking of pinning Touko down against her wishes :O Touko just realized that she likes Kakeru... Kakeru's such a nice guy to give Yanagi his raincoat :3 YES! Misunderstandings OP! Good job Hiro, sleeping while watching the movie with Sachi... |

| This series has fallen out of my top 10 this season sadly, I had hoped that it picked up its pace but the story is just flat :( |
 |
| Looks like we get our usual SoL elements. Falling asleep on a date is a big red flag though. |

| I can't help but ship Touko and Yuki. They're so damn cute. I hope that at least once, Touko sees him as something more than a friend. Yana-chan is so manipulative...she poisoned Touko's thoughts by making her feel guilty about Yuki's feelings. Haha, I would totally be Yana. Anyways, I liked the twist of Yanagi running into David. I hope that scene wasn't just fuel for Touko's jealousy (and realization of her feelings), but also the start of some kind of relationship between Yana-chan and David. And, if David's taken, Yuki might end up having a chance. :) I guess the whole stepbrother/sister thing is somewhat confirmed in this episode, because Yuki mentions that him and Yana are family when he helps her out of the hospital. Not too happy at that revelation...just makes me hate that ship even more. Awww at the end. I bet Hiro spent all night fretting over the date, that he couldn't even stay awake during the movie. It seems Sacchan is only observant about things dealing with Touko, otherwise I assume she'd have noticed Hiro's feelings before long. Anyways, good episode. I really hope that Glasslip will give us something unique, and won't end up with the predictable DavidxTouko and YukixYana. But, in the end, I'm not holding my breath. Those are still the most blatantly obvious outcomes. |
| This show has been disappointing since episode one it hasn't gotten any better. I was hoping the pacing and the direction of the series would get better by now but it hasn't. |
