lol Why are u asking about that? I would like to ask ppl why they dislike even Pupa, IS or YonSLCwM, but why I should ask others about their opinion, it's enough that I liked em...
Is it GreanPeace? I don't think so - whine to your parents or tell'em to buy sth for ur buttpain. Those ppl won't help you.

Glasslip seemed like it'll be a good romance, or maybe a story about supernatural. But it somehow wasn't. After it ended, we were left thinking "is that it?".

because they like their boring shows with repeating plots and storylines. Like every Japanese cartoon shows out there with cardboard cut-out characters with the same tropes with other japanese cartoons existed before

Because I wanted a show about fucking glass blowing - that seemed like it'd be interesting.

Instead it was a tedious 'romance' with dull characters.

basically this

but there are some other factors to come in play about why Glasslip is *so* disliked

the anime aired back to back with the much acclaimed Nagi no Asukara, both made by P.A. Works, thus many people had high hopes for Glasslip

many people have high hopes => many people disappointed => many people express disappointment online => "glasslip is bad" becomes a meme => self fulfilling prophecy

if it were made by silver link in 2009 i think it would have at least 1 more point of rating

Nothing happened. It's a shame because when I read the synopsis for it before it aired, I thought it sounded good and the characters were appealing, but literally, nothing significant happened.

While it's the worst anime of P.A. Works I still actually enjoyed Glasslip. Slice of Life and Romance are my favourite genre after all and that anime did cater to my taste perfectly.

And lol at those who say nothing happened. The romance in Glasslip goes further than in most romance anime.

The romance or rather the relationship between Touko and David itself made sense. What didn't make sense was the ending of the anime.

It was a romance and it felt like something should have happened but nothing did. There also wasn't much comedy so it's pretty much "slice of life" in its purest form.

While I'm not particularly hate it, It is indeed a bad shows by my standard.
Teasing us with a few plot point that looks interesting just to end without any of it resolved.
The art and the sound was kind of superb tho, I love the ending song.

If Red Data Girl taught us anytihng, it's that PA Works is great, but sometimes they don't nessasarilly execute it properly. That anime frustrated me so much, because it had so many good ideas and could have been so good if it was just better executed

Also, I'm not done with Charlotte, but it's easily the weakest of the Key anime adaptations. It might be better than "Air", but it's been a long time since I've seen Air, so I might be wrong.

It tries to be like True Tears. It tries so hard and failed miserably.

True Tears was awesome. Glasslip was just a True Tears wannabe that fails to live up to the expectation. Not to mention both series were made by the same director.

Anime watchers have a very objective mindset and this show goes in the opposite direction. Subjective. Contemplative. It lacks direct messages/critic and progressions, but they are dilluted and we got to think about it - if we're inclined to go that far. As a product aimed to profit, its a challenge, and I'm happy it exists, its something that we can redirect to our life or experiences from the past.
I understand the low rating, its necessary to change our mindset to see it from a different perspective.

How was it offensive? Don't tell me you got triggered by that last episode.

As for topic, I'm usually very forgiving when it comes to anime, but watching Glasslip weekly was an ordeal in of itself. It was going for that DEEP romance starring a rather pretentious character. Not to mention it came after the well regarded Nagi no Asukara. When I get more enjoyment out of people shitposting an anime on 4chan than the show itself, then there's a problem.

Guess PA Works learned their lesson because they followed it up with SHIROBAKO which is another great anime from the studio. One thing I notice about them is when they release a mediocre show, they make up for it with a good one afterwards.
I wish Cowboy Bebop never existed.

The world was/is not ready for Glasslip. From the feeling what I got, it really is Nishimura's doing - nostalgic and melancholic, no emotion really overused but the idyllic one. I would even consider it Nishimura's oeuvre.

I personally interpret Glasslip as some kind of art. On the surface it is something. Behind it, by facing the details and think over left and right, a whole new world is opened. What did Nishimura feel and think when he created Glasslip? We can only guess, and I didn't grasp it after rewatching. But, considering the characters release theirselves from some rule and bring theirselves into a whole new situation and learn about themselves like from anew, Nishimura might've intended to manifest his ideals, rather left-liberal ideals. I personally liked how Nishimura didn't imply that anything was a win or lose and how he support gaining experiences. Well, imo Nishimura intended to make people think about rules and love and how they're connected.

Also, I loved the voice acting. It was pretty natural, which reminds me of Shinkai's preferences. Nishimura kept the voice acting similar in Windy Tales iirc.

And I actually liked Glasslip. It wasn't anything great, but I liked it.
It was more complex than usually SOL. And I assume that most of people who are complaining about it wasn't watched much SOL. Glasslip is not supposed to be mindless action show.
