| That actually would have been a nice way to start to the show and then just continue as a coherent SOL. With only 1 episode left, I'm not sure what to expect anymore. I'm still not sure what the future fragments are exactly or what their purpose is as of now. Maybe it will all click together at the end. Maybe it will just be nonsensical writing. Maybe there will be too many stills to count next time. Crossing my fingers, please blow my mind Glasslip. I'll also say that I don't see this episode as a waste of time, but the next one will play a crucial role in how I feel about the big picture. |

"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
y123y said: You seem to confuse this with an anime that makes sense. :PI think its very obvious how the final episode will go: Yuki, Yanagi, Sachi, Hiro, Touko, and Kakeru will meet up at the cafe restaurant. They will all finally have a conversation together and then Kakeru will be welcomed into their group and Kakeru will no longer be lonely. Then Yuki will tell everyone that he and Yanagi are a couple, then Sachi will tell everyone that she and Hiro are a couple, and then Touko will tell everyone that she and Kakeru are a couple. Then the couples leave the restaurant together. Yuki and Yanagi kiss, Sachi and Hiro kiss, and Touko and Kakeru kiss. Then later during the episode, to close out the anime, they are all wearing yukatas and are going to the festival to enjoy the firworks together. And then that would be all. |
Just when I asked myself: "What the heck is this?" And she's like: And then it kinda got to me. No, seriously, I loved this episode! ^^ |

Also, this episode feels different from the other 11 episodes. I'm not sure if it's the writing (different writer?) or if it's the direction (someone else at the helm?) but this was the first time I thought everything flowed coherently. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| This episode.... what the heck happened? ¯_(ツ)_/¯ |

| So this episode is all because of that glass vase showing 'fragments' or whatever? This time, Touko was the new girl in the neighborhood. Seriously, what the hell? What another weird episode. I'll say it again, I can't follow this any longer. |
| I expected a lot of things to be explained this episode, but like many here, I was thoroughly disappointed. When I started to dig for a deeper meaning behind the episode, then things didn't seem quite so bad.. cometta222 said: that was deep. the vision is like an interpretation of kakeru's sudden, unexpected loneliness, and touko is being put in his shoes. i get goosebumps from watching. 5/5. next week >_< I feel like this is getting overlooked way too much. It actually provides a really good explanation to things that are going on within this episode. It might've not been amazing but it passes I suppose. It gives a bit of insight as to what the "fragments" actually are and I kinda had my ideas about them myself. Not exactly the future but to me they seem like a sort of "what if" scenario. I'm still disappointed with this week's episode but at least it's not horrible. |

| tl;dr Touko f*cks it all up. The moment she pops up, Sachi gets sick and Yuki gets injured. This episode was their way of saying she sucks big time. The world would be better off without her. If this episode was ep1 and they proceeded through that world, this show probably would have been a lot better. How can you call this artful? Those fragments are there literally so that they have a reason to get together. Nothing more, nothing less. There's no way I am gonna accept that. It's about as deep as a regular harem plot. It happens "just 'cause". Also: http://myanimelist.net/manga/78169/Hinas_Lip AT least they know who is the one interesting character in the show. |

| Gender inequality :/ They were really rude when Kakerunrun joined them lol And that transition on the lighthouse is so retarded. |
"Your taste is shit cause you like what I hate. Believe me I have 1000 cartoons that I rated with less than 5."  |
| Tamaya! Reminded me of that episode of Tamako Market hahah |
| Horrible episode. But... I actually liked Kakeru in this episode. He was 1000 times better than in the "reality", although it was more than strange that he left Touko during the firework. Well, this anime doesn't make sense at all. :x |
 |
| Just checking if the anime is still bad after I dropped it on episode 10. I think the anime could be really improved if there was a plot twist at the end. |

It's about as deep as a regular harem plot. It happens "just 'cause". Yeah at this point, I can't really appreciate anything they're trying to do with this show. I understood the whole alternate reality/imaginary world-future thing = fragments that they tried to show/explain in this episode, but that still doesn't make this anime really good. The idea itself is interesting and I like it, but the execution of the idea didn't come together very well in the anime imo. It could also be because the characters aren't fleshed out and it's hard to feel connected to them that makes it even more underwhelming. At least they did end up explaining what the fragments are. Still, this was the most interesting episode so far, and hopefully the next will be good as well... |

| I was a little confused at the beggining and thought maybe this is the beggining of how they all became friends, and then everything switched and then peopledidn't notice Touka was more confusing Though I did finally get it after that and we made it to the end and i guess she saw a fragment of another world? I did like David a whole lot better in the fragment imagination world a whole lot better then the real world |

ThreePointer said: I'm just here watching this anime and saying Haha perfect gif. :p I have another perfect gif for my personal feels:  Do whatever you want, show. >_> I'm done. I was done a while ago. But dropping an anime at 12/13 episodes would be inane. >inb4: Mari Okada haters switching sides and asking for her to come back. I REALLY LIKE HER MOST OF THE TIME. SHE COULD HAVE MADE THIS ONE WAY BETTER THAN IT IS. Truly the Evangelion of Slice of Life. XD I think you're giving it too much credit. People are STILL talking about EVA....but nobody is going to remember this glass thing in 20 years! |

| Well, at least everybody is talking about it *now*. Not many anime generate that much..well, interest? Given that she kidnda reversed roles with Kakeru, shouldn't she realize it's not *the* future she is seeing, but at most *one possible* future? Also, this anime could basically be done without all that future fragment stuff. And it's not about glass, besides glass being (most times) the trigger for the future fragment stuff. So they could basically remove two of the things that are supposed to make up this anime without actually removing something.. Unless they plan to insert both things heavily into the last episode in a different way than before. |
silverwalls said: well, this was absolutely pointless. how are they even going to wrap it all up in the last episode? nothing has been resolved so far. Nothing? Except: The relation "ships" are set to sail! The "ESP" problem is resolved. ALL 6 main characters have grown before our eyes. Aside from that... wait, what? What do people want in a 13 episode romance? Shakespeare? It's beautiful, low-stress fun! With mystery, relationships and chickens. It rewards those who pay attention, and that's refreshing!! |

Shakespeare? Something that makes me care. Look, romance is my favorite theme ..........but I just don't care this time. That's.........rather significant...for a rabid shipper such as myself. lol actually Shakespeare's romance isn't a very sound example. |

And if they were planning something impressive and philosophical with that other world stuff why they wasted so much time(10.5 episode) on mindless low stress fun...The anime contradicted with itself,thats why people feel that wtf feel... |

| I have no problems with mindless low-stress fun. Lucky Star is a great example of that. But Glasslip isn't "fun". It's boring. It's tedious to sit through. For me, at least. I've had more fun watching harem series...because at least the comedy is normally good and the leads develop a better written romance. |

| Contrary to all the hate: I was mesmerised by this episode - the fact I'm writing this comment is the ultimate proof thereof, as I seldomly interact with the forum. I couldn't help but find the overall experience of this part to be really diverting and was extremely surprised when it ended so fast - time literally flew by on an instant. It naturally kept me wondering what was going on at first, but I quickly saw through the idea behind this setup and thus could fully indulge in the scenery, leaving me with a marvelous feeling when the ending song started to play. Long story short: I'm looking forward to next weeks instalment and hope it will leave me with a similar sensation combined with an overall pleasuring ending. |
| The episode is just barely savable, hope it doesn't end like this. |

| I seriously don't know what is happening in this anime, it's just been way too random >___> |

| watched this today (Friday) only regret about watching it late is that I came here with eight pages already in the forum wtf two Yukinari, Yanagi, Sachi, Hiro of each in imaginary world? one of them can't "see" Touko and is illusionary and one is not? wtf whatever this anime isn't good enough to dwell on stuff I don't get didn't like the episode |
| I don't consider myself a good judge. trying not to be an obnoxious otaku |
| Such a deep, meaningful and profound episode. Totally mind blown. |
 |
| WHAT THE HELL DID I WATCH? |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| So the fragments from last episode were actually this alternate reality? This series can't even manage to organise and explain one reality let alone a second alternate one! I suppose this was Touko's way of experiencing Kakeru's sudden expected loneliness but beyond that I was confused as hell. Even when they were talking about it, I was still confused. It's hopefully going to sum up and explaining everything in layman's terms in the finale but I know that is way too much to hope for. We'll probably just get more mindfuck... |

-Robunaga said: So the fragments from last episode were actually this alternate reality? Close! ALL of the "visions" are actually from that other reality. There's a time difference, that's why it SEEMS like they're seeing the future. It's winter there., snowing. So when Touko "visits" this other place in Ep.12? Some can see her but others cannot. She's seeing a different world with different events, her brief visions didn't give her enough information to know that. The David there can see her, and it's possible the David she saw way back in Ep.01 was "other reality" David too... visiting her reality... It's a really nice concept! I like it! (I hope I've got it right, lolz!) Now as for the 3 Davids talking to each other? Hummm... |
| I can't help but wonder why so many people were confushed by this episode it really wasn't that hard to figure out. |
| For most of the episode I thought this show was going full Madoka with time traveling and alternate realities, but I think it was just Touka's imagination. Still though, quite an interesting episode that had me absorbed trying to figure out what was going on. |
 |
| Ehem, i honestly had a high expectation from This anime, the first few episodes were just beautiful but now... Im confused as F -ed trying to figure out exactly what is happening :( |
 |
 |
| The fate of destruction is also the joy of rebirth |
| I got so lost in this episode until the last scene. I was going to give out my final thoughts for the final episode, but I don't think I'm patient enough to do so, so here's what I think of this show overall. I found it pretty decent at the first episode. However, it became more and more tedious as this went on. I was excited before this began airing; I feel so fucking disappointed. And mind you, I enjoy Slice of Life anime, but this has to be the dullest and most boring Slice of Life I've ever watched! ALMOST NOTHING'S HAPPENED THROUGHOUT THIS GODDAMN THING! *Internally screaming* |
| Out of all the episodes this is probably the one I liked the most. Basically because I was actually interested in what was going on. And this is from a person who usually finds Glasslip to be really boring. |
