| Kakeru and his dad have a really nice house. I wish I lived in a modern house like that. I should have expected at least one major cliche per episode like this episode's "misunderstanding from a distance". |
| best part about the anime in the beginning the chickens best part about this episode the chickens snooze |
 |
| And the misunderstandings begin |

OG-3 said: Um, is this anime even trying to be good anymore? This episode was full of useless scenes like Yanagi saying 'It's going to rain' and Okikura saying 'The rain has stopped'. Some parts were completely random. Like some other person said last week, I don't friggin' know these people and I don't care about their drama and stuff. Instead of showing us how some girl eats pudding or some other girl is drawing chickens, show us some plot. The story has something to do with seeing future and stuff, but so far, nothing about it is clear, like, why is it happening. I think this anime is one of the examples why slice of life shows about high schoolers doing things they do shouldn't involve plot elements from other genres. I would enjoy Glasslip much more if it was about Touko making glass stuff (wasn't this anime originally going to be about that?). I'm continuing to watch this show just to see how everything will be wrapped up, honestly. I'm not bitching, I know I can just 'not watch' it, but I guess I still have or at least want to have faith in this anime. omg so true! All I see is nice visuals but little plot :/ |
| So Okikura's mother was a composer. And of course that misunderstanding was going to happen. Jonathan is back. |
| incoming fabricated drama |
 |
| less romance shit, more future stuff pls |
| lol |
| I let out an audible "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" when touka saw okikura with yana. If this brings back the chances of friendzone dude i swear on me mum ill bash someones fookin ead in |
| Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. |
| Hiro probably was too excited that he didn't get much sleep LOL |
 |
| Well, nothing much standing out except for Hiro sleeping while watching the movie lol. Let's just pray it will get better on the next 9 eps ahead.. |
| Keep moving forward |
| Damn misunderstandings. |

hahailham1 said: I was wondering that myself, what the heck is going on there? Cousins maybe? Anyone knows why Yanagi and Yukinari live together? Did the "kazoku" word in this episode literally means "family" because they dont bear same family name. I'm getting confused here, maybe i missed something in the first 3 episode? Have to say this show is getting pretty random now! Hopefully the incoming complications will create some pace and story and get things moving. Also I'm hoping for some explanations of... well a lot of things really! |
 |
| YES! FINALLY! JOHNATHAN RETURNS! I guess in episode 1 it was more of a "take a chicken to your house day" rather than "keep this chicken as a pet". But honestly, this romance drama is pretty bad. Some of it was way too predictable. Like when Touko sees Yanagi and Kakeru together as she was walking home from school, right after realizing: "I love Okikura-kun?". That's some great eye-roll material. Also, Touko really needs to sit down. She was like: *gasp* "You're here to see me??" every time Yukinari opened his mouth. Really, Touko, is that surprising? He confessed his love for you. And what was up with Sachi in the hospital? Touko's vision of the future was correct and Sachi was actually hospitalized. I was actually worried for Sachi and I wanted to find out what happened to her but then: Oh look, Yanagi hurt her foot. And then Sachi is reading at her house. What??? Give me a reason to care about this "seeing into the future" stuff. If the events come true and are only briefly mentioned then that's just useless! On a brighter note, I'm glad that Sachi and Hiro were able to get together. I'm happy for them! Although Hiro probably shouldn't be sleeping on his first date. So far this show is 6/10 at best. However, I still think the animation and ost are really pretty so 7/10 maybe. But that's a stretch. |

| the clumsy way of Touko let her really cute, but at the same time she seems to be very innocent, Yanagi seems much more mature and attractive and already Kakeru has a different way of treating the girls, I would like to see a love triangle between those 3 the other characters are not so expressive, I think they should evolve more This episode was full of jealousies, but that marked the end, it was Touko fleeing after seeing Yanagi and Kakeru together, I think she's really enjoying his after all more drama, jealousies, tears, smiles and hopefully also plot twists happen in the anime chickabiddy of the season .. just for the record the scenarios in this anime are beautiful .. |

rsc-pl said: Great date :D  Props to him for scoring a date. But it looks like he didn't score on the date. |
 |
| Just to recap for those who missed it, Yanagi and Yukari are unrelated-by-blood step-siblings. He considers her his sister, she has a different relationship in mind. And just to head off the "ewwwww, incest!" comments: it seems that there is no legal impediment in Japan to unrelated step-siblings marrying or developing a relationship and when this crops up in an anime it doesn't seem to raise much of a fuss (unlike the negative reaction that occurs when a "forbidden" romance between actual siblings is suggested). As to the negative reaction to the pace and plot, if you aren't happy with what this is by now you should probably drop it. While the clairvoyance and clairaudience are part of the plot, they seem to be more of a way of complicating matters rather than being the focus. This is ostensibly SOL Romance and seems to be paced more like a European "Art Film" with a lot less dialogue or "action". The animation, backgrounds, and OST seem to be carrying things just now, but if you think about it we've gotten a lot of information about most of the main cast and their relationships. This episode you really got to see how the carefree Hiro is trying his best to get interested in the things that the intellectual Sachi is (including reading a fairly difficult work by a pre-world-war-two French writer), without much success. While Sachi is willing to allow him to come over, and goes out on a date with him to the movies, she seems curiously passive and uninvolved. The whole scene between Yukari and Kakeru was choreographed to the weather with the storm gathering as the two of them go about their unrelated tasks, then bursting forth as their paths intersect and he ends up clutching her, followed by that nice shot of her face emerging from the hood as the sun breaks through. I also wouldn't judge where we are going to end up quite yet. Remember that most people thought this was going to be a show about glass-blowing.... This episode the only real reference to that was when Touko's father warned her to "Pay attention to what she was doing or she was going to get hurt," or words to that effect...nice bit of foreshadowing perhaps. Anyway, I always think that if I am going to see an "Art Film", I'm not going to complain at the lack of car chases... |

| Loved this episode because of the Yanagi X Kakeru scene <3 Everybody believes it's goin' to be Toko X Kakeru, but i don't think so, especially because it's already episode 4 and we didn't get to see a Toko X Kakeru scene. Found this at Glasslips official website  Guess who Kakeru is looking at ... |

| Nothing happened but when you think about it, it's the perfect episode for the incoming clusterf*ck. Highlight of the episode: JONATHAN. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
Madara31 said: Hopefully it'll get better soon, or it could stay mediocre throughout like Red Data Girl. Idk I found Izumiko at least more interesting to watch than Touko. I actually thought RDG was pretty good overall, nothing too great but still good. Glasslip though is quite different since it's very slice of life. We literally just see the main cast doing whatever they're doing in their normal life and there's no clear plot at all so far. I'm really wondering if this is the calm before the storm thing or it'll stay this way the whole time. I'm sure the seeing the future thing should come more into play later at least, after all, Touko's medium is glass and this show is called Glasslip. I'm liking the characters slightly more this episode though, like Yuki and him trying to be normal (but still showing that he does like Touko) but not being too much of a prick about Touko possibly liking Kakeru. |
| Boring episode (so far?) But still, chickens are the best |
 |
| Really he finally gets to have a date with her and he basically passes out in the movie theater. Please do not kill you chances before you can make any progress. Great episode!!! |
 |
| Even though he wasn't in this episode much, I'm likeing Kakeru everytime I see him :) I really hope that this love square doesn't go down And poor Sachi...The dude fell asleep lol |
| Oh geez this might actually turn out to be PAs Miss of the season at this rate been waiting and waiting i still don't know anything about them at least that one guy got his date despite being asleep during it lol SMH |
 |
| Could it be that they written Glasslip with the thought of having a 2-cour series but somewhere along the line something happened and it became 1-cour? I really think that if we can get a mulligan and make this 2-cour, this show will be at least 2x better. |
| A Humble Pawn of the Hakuou Gakuin Seitokaichou, Hinagiku Katsura! |
Yeah, that isn't creepy at all. |
| is touka getting jealous? the story just keeps getting interesting... |
Got something to live for, I know that I won't surrender, A warrior of youth, I'm taking over, a shot to the new world order I Am Bulletproof. . .  |
Feaor said: If this was a 2-cour show I'd be much less concerned about the start so far but seeing as its a 1-cour show, it feels like they're squandering their time. There are too many scenes which are unnecessary or don't do enough that they're wasting the limited time they have. Yes, I think since it's only 13-eps, it will probably get really rushed towards the end (or maybe a cliff-hanger?). Really unfortunate. And, as everybody else has said, I hate the "misunderstandings." But I'm still totally for the Yuki x Touko ship. Yana x Kakeru is such a better pair (She just does not deserve Yuki imo). Why can't the ships just go the way we want for once? DX And Hiro sleeping on his first date with Sacchan?? Really? I don't even... |
| This anime is such shit tbh. It's a shame because I had really high hopes for this after PA set the bar so high with NagiAsu. I feel that PA was like "wow everyone loved Nagi so much, I guess they must have loved the two different sets of love triangles in the show over EVERYTHING else in the show. Well how bout this then? We take that concept, and put it on fucking steroids and make it it's own show! Everyone will love it!"......then Glasslip was born. Had this been a 2 cour show, I probably wouldn't be as upset right now, but it's only goingto be 12 episodes and it's gone NOWHERE so far. The difference between this show and Nagi was that Nagi had all the romance, but downplayed it a lot during most of the first cour, in favor of character development, and introducing all of the fantastic and unique aspects of Land and Shioshishio together. Then in the second cour they flip flopped and made the romance the focal point, while still also unraveling more of Shioshishio's mysteries. And they did all of this in 26 episodes. Glasslip, on the other hand, is like, "hey, ya wanna see some cool supernatural stuff about a girl being able to see the future? Oh, you do? ok, WELL TOO BAD FUCK YOU HERE'S A LOVE HEXAGON!!!!!!!!!!!!" ...or something along those lines lol |
| What's her face was using her single crutch wrong...*flips table over* |
^)^ DeathfireD ^)^ Anime Alliance P2P Network *OPEN FOR NEW MEMBERS* |
OK, someone doesn't know how to use crutches. No wonder she stumbled when she tried to walk with it, she's got it on the wrong side! |
 |
| i wish we'd get to see more of sachi and hiro, because the relationship between these two is more interesting than anything else in this series so far. |
 |
| Another episode where Kakeru almost gets no character development with very minor appearance. Kinda annoyed by that, he's the only interesting character so far... Still got no idea of what the story is though... Negative comments aside, still got faith that this series could get better... or worse. |

Barrian14 said: I am bored out of my skull with Glasslip. It's like Nagi No Asukara but done so poorly. Not quite sure if it could pick up. The characters are bland as anything, the plot seems to be going nowhere quickly and the romance is predictable as fuck. That is actually a really accurate assessment of Glasslip atm, NGL. Lack of racism, parental conflicts, and varied characters basically makes this a terribly dumbed-down Nagi no Asukara. I really hope this picks up quickly. And soon. |
 |
| Does anyone else keep thinking their screen has frozen when they use those stills? I rewound the video because they did one during the rain scene, then when it started playing, I thought it froze again, but then I was like "Ohhhh..." I did the exact same thing last week when they froze on a picture of a ship. |
| Ermm, I think this one's a lost cause... The SoL isn't actually that good, I enjoyed it at the start but it's getting bland with these characters I barely know so halfway I just stopped caring and all that paranormal future sight stuff basically took a back seat to what- give us an unneeded breather, I mean nothing's happened, yet from the looks of it something's supposed to in the future. |
 |
| Another nothing episode, time to stop watching, there's not enough about the whole seeing the future aspect of it, and the SoL aspect itself is boring. |
| God, this is show is terrible... It's like they took all the flaws in Nagi no Asukara and condensed it in 12 episodes. Well, at least on the bright side, at least Yanagi confessed her douche move to Touko. That sh*t bothered me to no end, it was actually the only thing that got me to react emotionally in this whole show so far. She should now tell this to Yuki, so that he actually may have a chance to fix the situation. |
silverwalls said: i wish we'd get to see more of sachi and hiro, because the relationship between these two is more interesting than anything else in this series so far. Yes thank you. Also, I can't believe even the classic music was used as lame plot device, but eh. |

I was very disappointed with this episode, nothing is happening! |
5Wishes said: lolol at the people expecting plot in a slice-of-life. Oh well, im still aboard the Touko x Yuki ship~ Hanasaku Iroha was a great SoL with nice plot. I never saw a Slice of Life as boring as Glasslip, with no bit of a story at all (except for the common cute-girls-doing-cute-things SoLs). |
