TheGruesomeGoblin
10/100Abysmal and boring series filled to the brim with annoying teenage romance rife with drama and chicken metaphors.Continue on AniList__Spoilers? Uh, here's a spoiler for you. Don't bother. I honest can't even spoil anything because by the end of the show they take a sledgehammer to everything they previously established in the span of like ten minutes because they ran out of time and providing an explanation for ANYTHING was far, FAR too much work.__
Introduction
...Have you ever wanted to watch something as unbearable as Lances n' Masques, that could also get really bizarre/absurd like Ranpo Kitan, but is as entertaining as watching literal paint drying? Glasslip is the show for you, then! Thank you, Junji Nishimira (the director
to blame for this show)!I wonder what he's been doing since Glasslip--oh...
Glasslip is an original show brought to us by the studio P.A. Works whom also made Another's anime, another one I'm absolutely not that fond of. But they also did Uchouten Kazoku and Shirobako so... I guess the (incredibly) bad shows balance out with the really good ones they did.
This is about when I'd try to describe Glasslip, but I don't think I really have anything to add beyond what I started with. It's only after I've finished watching it that I actually wondered what genre Glasslip would even be considered.
Slice of life? Technically true, I suppose. But I love slice of life, and there are plenty of slice of life series where stuff does happen and there are actual characters that are either entertaining or neat to watch as they undergo their everyday lives. In Glasslip, there's none of that. No interesting or entertaining characters (chickens don't count) and nothing happens. Absolutely. Nothing. Happens.
"I'm sure people would want to watch unlikeable characters go on a hiking trip for an entire episode. I'm sure that's something they want. It's a sure thing."
I'd describe it more as a faux supernatural drama about teenage romance triangles (far worse than a mere triangle). Here's a group of unlikeable teenage characters with a deep and complicated web of romance (he likes her, she likes him, she likes him AND her and so forth) between them and also oh hey the main girl can see the future when she looks through glass MAYBE.
Anyways... I'll... I'll try to cover at the very least the main points before my brain erases all lasting traces of this show.
Characters
Okay, what do we even have to work with here?
The main character, Touko Fukami, is I guess the main character as out of this group of "friends", she gets the show's spotlight most of the time. She helps with her family in making glass and whenever the show isn't focusing on episode long hiking trips, teenage romance/drama, or Touko's "ability" to see into the future, it's her usually making glass. It's never really brought up in any major way or relevant to the actual story of the show beyond the fact she usually sees the "future" whenever she looks through glass.
Although, it also happens when she's not even looking at glass so... why even try to establish that it's related to the glass in the first place? I mean I know glass is in the title but I don't really understand why it has to be glass.
_The real life inspiration for Glasslip's best characters. Jonathan the Chicken not pictured._ Kakeru Okikura otherwise known as "David" (Touko refers to him as this once in like the first episode and the others keep calling him this later on despite after having learned his actual name), is unfortunately the main male character. He moves to the town and then for some reason strikes up a conversation about how Touko can see the future and if she leaves her chickens outside, roaming packs of wild feral cats will murder them. As an outsider to Touko's group, he mostly makes zero attempts or efforts to try and befriend the others. Actually, he seemingly purposely antagonize everyone other than Touko (whom he seriously believes can see the future for some reason). He speaks in cryptic nonsense, sleeps outside in the woods or sometimes in a tent (for some reason), and apparently sees copies of himself and holds actual conversations with them (FOR SOME REASON).
WHILE ALSO HANGING OUT IN THE WOODS. No, it's fine. Touko's friends are the ones who overreacted, Kakeru is perfectly fine and well adjusted. IT'S FINE (especially since it's an actually recurring thing). Right in front of Touko, he at one point tries to have a running contest with the other guy who likes Touko, and whomever won would "win Touko"...? But he was actually not even going to run? I was kind of confused when the other characters actually treated him like he was insane after suggesting this and slapped him. I honestly thought they were going to go along with it.
Because after all, WHY DO THESE CHARACTERS DO ANY OF THESE THINGS THEY DO? IT'S INCOMPREHENSIBLE.
Sachi is absolutely the most infuriating of Touko's friends. She wears glasses, she reads books, and she's sickly. You could remove her entirely from the show and almost nothing would change. She's always either in the hospital or there are lines of dialogue being spoken about how she has to or should go to the hospital soon. She also confesses to her already current boyfriend and also Touko for some reason. I still don't really know what was up with that. It just happened so suddenly and then one minute later, we were back to future fragments, chickens, and David's mom playing the piano. Why have a character confess to two characters at once especially when there are NO memorable interactions between that character and the second character she's confessing to prior to this (or future interactions for that matter).
I honestly can't be asked to go in-depth about Sachi's boyfriend (that's his entire character) Hiro Shirosaki, or the step siblings Yukinari Imi and Yanagi Takayama. I just don't have the energy. Plus they were completely overshadowed by the other three, whom I hated or was constantly questioning their reasons for their actions.
Everything is pain.
Character stuff aside (there's certainly more I could have brought up), there's a lot more things in Glasslip that just... bothered me. Yes, the most obvious complaint, the show is slow and never isn't slow because nothing worthwhile of any note happens. Even now really, one of the only things that immediately comes to mind is when Kakeru ended up getting assaulted by both of the step siblings duo. Partially because I had to stifle a cheer because not only did something happen, but Kakeru is infuriating every moment he is on the screen or talking.
Still, despite how easy of a complaint it is, it definitely is worth noting that I don't think I've seen a show where even less happens than in Glasslip. But you also have to figure in Glasslip, they actually make an effort almost at the very end of the show to render all of the stuff they were establishing completely meaningless/pointless. Touko's mom outright says to her in the final episode something along the lines of: "Oh by the way, do you happen to see weird things when you look at bright lights and stuff? I sort of thought those were visions of the future when I saw them when I was younger, but the truth is it was all bullshit and in my mind."
I wish I was joking. They actually did that. I can't even imagine the audacity you'd have to have to pull that on the 13th and final episode of a show.
The fact that the future fragments were in fact literally nothing wasn't a surprise at all. But my prediction was that both Kakeru as well as Touko in fact had some sort of mental disease or disorder. It's weird to just be talking with your friend one moment and then the next, you see a random swarm of mind birds just suddenly fly and swarm at you.
It's not something that should have just been explained away in one line of dialogue by the mom. They... the whole seeing the future/supernatural stuff started in the very first episode!
"The show's over, and we didn't explain any of this. Oh well."
"I'm sure the people who actually sat through all thirteen weeks of this when it was actually airing weren't curious at all." As frustrating as a show or a series just suddenly retcons or explains away a whole earlier portion (or in this case, the entire thing), there's still actually more that needs to be mentioned.
The dialogue, holy hell. Most of it is just a lot of yawn-inducing nothing, but some of it is just... really awful. Unsurprisingly, a decent amount of it is sprouted right from Kakeru's mouth. The whole future fragments thing is just a whole bunch of nonsense in the end yet he speaks as if he's so assured that Touko can really see the future. But it is certainly not limited to only Kakeru. There is one specific moment in Glasslip that's burned into my brain because it caught me so off guard it caused me to react physically.
Agonizingly Long and Insufferable Context Describing Actual Glasslip Scenes: So, in one episode following Kakeru goofing on the male of the step siblings duo, Yukinari is depressed. For even while he confessed to Touko, Touko continues to spend time with Kakeru who seems to do nothing but ramble cryptic nonsense and sleep outside in a tent. Therefore, Yukinari begins to start running every day to take his mind of it. The route he takes just happens to be along the window of the pool where Touko's sister and her friends swim at, and they ogle at Yukinari whenever he comes running by the building. But eventually, Yukinari just keeps on getting more and more depressed causing the girls concern for this COMPLETE STRANGER they're staring at. The way Yukinari looks prompts Touko's sister to run out of the building get on her bike, catch up to Yukinari, and then spout perhaps the most ridiculous line of Glasslip that's also come the closest to causing me to physically cringe at something out of an anime.
She yells at him, a probably genuinely depressed person (his knee was messed up due to an accident previously in his life or something yet he was still running every day), to "stay attractive."
...Please don't try and treat this as some sort of deep and emotional moment. Of all of the possible ways you could came up with to basically get across "please cheer up", they ended up going with "stay attractive." Then, later Yukinari's step-sister Yanagi approaches Kakeru and hits him with "IT'S YOUR FAULT MY STEP-BROTHER ISN'T ATTRACTIVE ANYMORE." Both of these happen in the same exact episode, and it's just too much. Please stop.
Oh yeah, and episode twelve very hurriedly introduces a parallel world/alternate universe/imaginary world that is summoned/Touko is sent to because she listens to Kakeru's mother play the piano? Like basically everybody was opposite to what they were really like, and Touko and Kakeru's positions were flipped. Touko was the outsider who moved to the town, and Kakeru was in the group instead of her. Pretty weird, and I don't really see why they felt the need to introduce such a major thing so close to the end. Especially when it didn't add anything, and also in the immediate next episode Touko's mom would literally debunk all of the stuff Touko was seeing in her mind as... well, nothing.
Chicken Metaphors
Saving the best for last, let's finally talk about the chickens and chicken metaphors. The chickens appear from the very first episode of Glasslip and throughout almost every single episode following. The chickens are in the op and the ed, Touko and her friends adopt the chickens in episode 1 only for them to later end up back at the school where they used to be, during more than a few conversations (especially between Touko and Kakeru), the camera will just switch to the chickens as they're talking repeatedly.
Of the group of chickens, there is a chicken named Jonathan and in one episode, he is shown distancing himself/moving away from the other chickens. Is Jonathan the Chicken supposed to represent Kakeru, who is this loner sort of guy who keeps his distance from Touko's group of friends? Mind you, all except one and Touko herself basically overly hate. Hell, by the end of the show, he is physically struck by at least two of them.
What if... what if in truth, they were chickens all along? Look at the first pictures again. There are five chickens, and there are five members of Touko's group including Touko herself. But there is also a hawk or an eagle in the sky. Is that Kakeru? After all, Touko's group only becomes unstable after Kakeru arrives, and the chickens are in fact running away.
She asks the chicken if he's Kakeru for some reason, and then exclaims the same chicken isn't Jonathan. What???
What about the clouds? What are the clouds supposed to represent?
This may all sound like extensive hyperbole, but with a show of so much "nothing", it seems this made people more actively search for some sort of meaning. Chicken metaphors. Perhaps while born out of a desire to try and justify having watched the entire thing, it doesn't entirely sound too implausible. Especially if Junji Nishimira truly does have a history of... using chickens. But I haven't watched True Tears so I can't verify that either way.
Yet as far as Glasslip goes, there's no way there isn't something going on with the chickens. I refuse to believe they would purposely include them as much as they did if their only purpose behind it was "okay, there's chickens." It was pretty funny at the beginning but by the end, it was baffling that it was still happening/happening even more.
I think Touko was sitting on those stairs drawing the chickens at least two or three times. Does she just really like drawing chickens or does she want to ditch the glass making and try to be an ornithologist?
Point is, even though that explanation made me go "oh, okay, I can kind of sort of see that", it does not excuse this show for anything at all. If you want to try and make like this complex and deep plot with metaphors while also including all of this supernatural stuff about seeing the future... I don't know, maybe chicken metaphors isn't the best route.
I'm just saying. I've never made a show, I've never animated, I've never written a script, I've never directed anything but... it feels like, I don't know, that they could have done better than this.
Conclusion
A straight up and unhesitating 1 out of 10.
P.A. Works doesn't make bad looking shows (I mean come on, did you see those chickens? BEST CHICKEN ANIMATION HAND DOWN). If they had focused on one thing, Glasslip could have maybe turned out better. Make an actual teenage drama/romance series, a supernatural series where a glassmaker sees the future through the glass she makes, or just an outright calm and slow moving slice of life show that's actually about making glass. Don't shove all three together and then just slam chicken metaphors on top of it as hard as you possibly can.
"WE NEED TEN MORE SHOTS OF THE CHICKENS. MORE OF THE CHICKENS, WE HAVE TO HAMMER THIS HOME. OUR ANIME HAS TO BECOME KNOWN AS THE ONE WITH THE CHICKENS."
While my attention did sort of perk up every single time the chickens came back, or like when they did the episode where it was just a hiking trip and then immediately with the next episode, it was back to the chickens, it's still not enough. Glasslip is very much a bad anime, and even worse than that, it falls far onto the worse side of "bad anime." It's not hilariously absurd like Ranpo Kitan, it's not a ridiculously over the top and gory horror like Another... and even in something like Wizard Barristers or Lances n' Masques, at least things happened in those shows.
In Glasslip, nothing happens. What little that does happen, they make a point to essentially undo or deem pointless/meaningless. Therefore, really the only ways I could see recommending Glasslip is morbid curiosity, severe masochism, or if you actually like P.A. Works' other shows and have decided you're going to watch even the... less than stellar ones they did.
For the record, out of the three, I'd argue Glasslip's Jonathan the Chicken would beat Wizard Barristers' perverted frog sidekick and Lance n' Masques' cute horse girl as far as "bad anime" mascots go. Everybody loves chickens.TheFrostKai
30/100This Anime Has To Be One Of The Worst i've seen in a whileContinue on AniListIf You want to waste your time on awful animes well your in the right spot this is my thoughts on Glasslip one of the WORST animes i just couldn't, my brain was dying inside watching this pile of trash this anime is FILLED with bad jokes and chicken bs, i hate it when animes try to be funny with chicken jokes which doesn't work. I hate how quirky the anime is trying to be it tries to hard to be funny and relatable. You can see why most people dropped this anime because its trash. its just filled with awful teenage drama that doesn't make sense half the time. the anime just seems really rushed and bad
alright now to the characters and plot
the characters in this show are worse than the jokes the characters are wank straight wank
how are the chickens in the show are better then the characters i'm not even lying as well the characters are just so dumb the director ruined the show, i do really love a good drama slice of life story like a prime example of like Golden Time where characters fight and you can actually feel the characters pain unlike good ol' glasslip where the plot and characters just seem like a practical joke at this point this whole show is a joke i feel bad if you had to actually watch this trash. The "friends" in this show are so nasty to touko like it just rough to watch.i don't know how "David" or Kakeru can just copy himself and have a normal conversation with himself this whole future plot and copying yourself is just utter trash the whole thing with romance, drama, sci fi thing doesn't work at all unlike other animes that have the same genre it just doesn't work.
still going on the kakeru bro this guy is just getting assulted by the step siblings like dang bro leave this man alone like he didn't do anything wrong man.
The Animation
The Animation is beautiful though thats the only thing i can give some credit on this anime because the rest is some hot GARBAGE, i love the animation type that they did in the 2012 - 2014 animes because they should do it more often because it looks great i do love the new style of animation now but the 2012 - 2014 animation is god tier so i give credit when its due.
Conclusion
I'm cutting this review short because i don't ever want to be apart and never see glasslip again like on 3 seperate times i tried watching this and i simply couldn't the 4th time i got to watch it and i lowkey regret it so much like what a waste of time if you actually enjoyed this anime honestly you just need to stop and start watching some good animes because this is actually trash ill be generous because i love the animation like alot so ill give it a solid 3/10 if it had awful animation it would be a 0/10 but it does so thats lucky.
So Have a good day yall and i beg please don't watch this trash please.
TheRealKyuubey
60/100This show is kinda like a Fabergé egg... Beautiful on the outside, hollow on the inside, but still valuable.Continue on AniListHaving been raised in a family that owns a glass blowing business, Touka Fukami knows first hand how deformed something precious to you can become if you don’t treat it with the utmost care and focus... But up until the summer of her senior year, she's never known just how important that lesson could become to other aspects of her life. Growing up in a quiet, quaint seaside Japanese town, Touka has had the same four friends in her orbit for years, and as much as she cares for each of them, she knows deep in her heart that the clock is ticking against them, and time will eventually drive them apart. As fate would have it, though, Touka winds up having a sudden encounter with a new transfer boy, one she immediately nicknames David, and while she feels increasingly drawn to him by the day, it seems that his very presence may play a role in fracturing her precious friend group faster than she ever could have guessed.
I don’t think it would be unwarranted to call PA Works one of the most consistently high-quality animation studios in Japan. I don’t think I’ve seen a single title from them that didn’t look, at the very least, gorgeous. The visuals were literally the only thing I liked about Another, and Glasslip definitely has production values to match it. Much like everything else I’ve seen from PA Works catalogue, Glasslip has the immersive backgrounds and bright articulate facial expressions that seem like they were inspired by early Kyoto Animation, but without ever having to resort to the runny eggs animation of later Kyoto Animation. Depending where you are in the series, the animation ranges from highly lavish and graceful, to potentially cheap, but directed well enough that it doesn’t ever creep into ugly territory. There’s an element of CGI that occasionally pops up throughout the story, but it complements the 2D designs well enough that it never looks out of place, from the trolley in the beginning to the supernatural effects surrounding Touka’s glassblowing and... Well, abilities.
As beautiful as the animation and artwork may be, the real star of this anime is the design work. Starting with the setting, the cast lives in a charming seaside town that feels consistently rich and immersive, both historical enough to stand out as its own entity and familiar enough that you could imagine every member of the cast spending their lives there. The characters are incredibly easy on the eyes, and while I’ll admit one of them kinda looks a little bland, the rest of them each have their own share of subtle details; From Touka’s innocent looking braids to Sachi’s asymmetrical bob haircut and slightly pale complexion, to Hiro’s slightly off center grin. There’s also a lot of running in this show, seeing how one character runs track and another later starts running alongside him, and despite the anime medium’s long history of just using repeated running cycles to save money, it is thankfully a lot more convincing here, as each step either character takes has a gravity to it.
There’s no English dub, but the music is nice enough. It’s mostly piano ballads, which do feel like a tone-deaf choice in a few scenes, and it proves to be way too loud in others, drowning out the dialogue. This is also one of those few anime where I never skipped the opening or closing themes, not because they were really good... I personally don’t think there’s anything special about them, they’re pretty generic as far as themes are concerned, but because they fit the tone of the series damn near perfectly.
So yeah, the production values are damn near flawless, which isn’t too surprising considering PA Works’ track record, which is a good thing, because beyond that, Glasslip does not have a great reputation.
If you were to poll everyone who has seen this anime, whether in part or in its entirety, and you asked them all to describe the series in one word, the most common answer by far would probably be ‘boring.’ Glasslip is a coming of age slice of life anime, and there is a vocal contingency of anime fans who aren’t particularly intrigued by such fare. Slice of life stories in general are known to be slow moving and plotless with very little actually happening in them, and when you add teenagers to the mix, you will more than likely be setting up a ton of cliched character archetypes and melodrama that can range from pretentious to relatable. There are quite a few shows like this that have managed to find mainstream popularity, even if they don’t land particularly well with critics, but there are also entries in the genre that managed to melt even the most cynical of hearts. Normally, though, these titles have some element to them that works exceptionally well, whether it be an interesting gimmick, a complex and well written cast, a potent sense of humor, or just strong writing in general, so, does Glasslip have all of that?
Well, for the most part, no. It’s not devoid of these qualities, but it is kind of hit and miss. First off, while the characters are very likeable, they’re puddle deep at best. None of them are particularly interesting as individuals, and their most stand out qualities are often related to which other characters they have a crush on. Having said that, the bonds between them do feel real, and the interactions between them... With the exception of a few stiff and/or cringey lines of dialogue here and there... Do feel genuinely familiar. The writing can be funny, and there is a strong sense of comedic timing, but Glasslip is not primarily a comedy, and being funny isn’t really a high priority, although it happens on a serviceable enough basis for brevity in the story. As for the gimmick, well, the protagonist Touko does have visions of the future, and her love interest is a mysterious entity tied to it, but a LOT of viewers consider this to be the weakest part of the series, what with the way this supernatural element is handled, and the frustrating lack of an explanation for any of it.
Personally, I don’t think this subplot was mishandled. I think it was represented in a very specific way for a very specific reason, but before I get into that, I need to make two statements; First, obviously, spoilers ahead. Second, saying a story is deep, or that it’s about something, isn’t necessarily a mark of quality. When I posted my review of Serial Experiments Lain two years ago, I was called out in condescending fashion by fans of the show who accused me of not understanding it, or just not trying to understand it. I responded by telling them the same thing I said in my review... I don’t CARE what the series is about, because I don’t care about Lain, and I don’t care about the plot surrounding her. I’m sure it has some brilliant statements to make, but if the writing on the surface isn’t grabbing me, then I have no reason to look below. Hell, even if I did understand it, that doesn’t guarantee I’d like it. I know exactly what Darling in the Franxx was trying to say... Credit where it’s due, Franxx did a superb job executing it’s message, but guess what? Darling in the Franxx is still terrible, and everything it has to say is also terrible.
So, when I say that I think Glasslip has some depth, and it’s about something, and it has something to say, I’m not trying to scold you for finding the series boring. You have every right to find it boring, even if you DO wind up seeing what I’m seeing. And I’m not saying it’s a perfect show either... Hell, it features one particular LGBT storyline that ends in a hilariously disappointing cop-out, and I have no idea why David is able to speak to clones of himself, but I do believe there is one really strong theme throughout the series, and in my opinion, it does justify the supernatural element of Touka’s character arc... And that theme is the fear and anxiety over change.
This series takes place during the last summer that this small, tightly knit friend group is ever going to enjoy before they graduate high school, and then probably split up, go to different colleges and ultimately go their separate ways, and they’re all processing this. The various love confessions aren’t inspired by genuine romantic attraction, they’re born from a desperate attempt to hold onto something precious from this stage of their lives before it’s too late. Maybe it’s just me, but I felt a constant ambience of oppression throughout the story, where these characters feel repressed and out of place... Like they’re right at the precipice of becoming the people they were meant to be, but their friend group... And their small, picturesque seaside town... Are holding them back from doing so, and deep down, they’re all scared to take the first step. The entire reason David is here, whether he knows it or not, is to drive a wedge into their group and give them the push they need to venture out into their futures.
As for Touka’s abilities, I obviously can’t say this for certain, because I’m not the creator of the series and I don’t want to put words in the author’s mouth, but I don’t think they’re real, I think they’re purely metaphorical for her anxiety over the changes happening before her eyes. She sees ‘fragments of the future’ because she’s desperately trying to figure out what the consequences of every decision she makes will be, because she’s terrified of letting her friends drift apart and she’s feeling especially sensitive about protecting them. Visions of snow symbolize her fear of the end of summer. And here’s the real spoiler part: When it turns out that the future fragments she’s seeing are actually from an alternate reality, this is a metaphor for her finally acknowledging that her visions of the future are literally not real, and she’s worrying about things she can’t control, and when she tosses away those glass beads with David, it’s because she’s finally decided to let go and embrace the inevitable. Nothing lasts forever, not even the best of friends. Nobody can control the future, but no matter what happens, the precious memories from your past will stay with you for the rest of your life.
Now, I’m guessing some of you got through that paragraph and think I’m completely off base, and that I’m wrong, and that I’m just pulling all of that out of my ass to justify my enjoyment of a boring anime. Well, I would argue that by the rules of Death of the Author, audience interpretation is just as valid as authorial intent, but aside from that, yeah. You’re right. I like this show a lot, and while that entire spiel about it having depth and themes and stuff may have been extracted directly from the depths of my rectal cavity, that doesn’t change the fact that I still see it, and I still find it emotionally satisfying. I don’t care how flimsy my interpretation of the series may be, I still enjoy coming back to it. I don’t care how shallow the characters may be, I still find them exceptionally well designed and likeable. I don’t care how boring the series is, I think its totally valid to find boring media pleasant and engaging. And yes, I like the fact that they use chickens to symbolize the status of the friend group, that’s just adorkable. I like Glasslip.
Glasslip is available from Sentai Filmworks, but the original light novel is not.
Remember at the end of my In Another World with my Smartphone review, I stated that while I personally found that series boring and lacking in substance, I also completely understood if it was somebody’s comfy show? I feel like I’m on the other end of that sentiment with Glasslip. It’s a show a lot of people find boring and empty, but it’s easily one of MY comfy shows. It has its share of problems, and I’m not going to say anybody’s wrong for not being able to get over them, but I just personally don’t mind them as much. My enjoyment of this anime doesn’t necessarily make it not boring, at least in an objective sense, and I do see where a lot of the negative reactions to it are coming from, I just personally think it’s worth going into with some patience. I’d recommend it to anybody who just sat through something extra shitty and needs an easy, pleasant little palette cleanser to wash the taste out of their mouths, or to anybody who just doesn’t mind watching paint dry once in a while.
I give Glasslip a 6/10.
