Synopsis

Long ago, all humans lived beneath the sea. However, some people preferred the surface and abandoned living underwater permanently. As a consequence, they were stripped of their god-given protection called "Ena" which allowed them to breathe underwater. Over time, the rift between the denizens of the sea and of the surface widened, although contact between the two peoples still existed.

Nagi no Asu kara follows the story of Hikari Sakishima and Manaka Mukaido, along with their childhood friends Chisaki Hiradaira and Kaname Isaki, who are forced to leave the sea and attend a school on the surface. There, the group also meets Tsumugu Kihara, a fellow student and fisherman who loves the sea.

Hikari and his friends' lives are bound to change as they have to deal with the deep-seated hatred and discrimination between the people of sea and of the surface, the storms in their personal lives, as well as an impending tempest which may spell doom for all who dwell on the surface.

Though I must admit that I really liked the anime, but I have to say that Chisaki is the most self-centered and privileged character of them all. But except for this the character development in A Lull in the Sea is exceptional. Each character is well-rounded, with personal growth that feels both natural and impactful. Hikari’s journey from a brash youth to a more mature individual is particularly compelling. The relationships among the characters are central to the story, and their interactions are portrayed with genuine emotion. The complexity of their feelings and decisions adds depth to the narrative. The animation and art style ...

Mixed Feelings
Nagi no Asukara (NoA) or a Lull In the Sea (it's English title) is an interesting anime with lovely art and a wonderful score of music. I feel like folks who are a fan of high school shoujo or drama anime/manga/shows will probably enjoy this one (especially if y'all like tsunderes).

That being said, I do have some critiques:

1. The main character: I'm sure there are a million other reviews that cite this critique as well, but the main character, Hikari, is incredibly annoying. He's stuck up, rude, unwilling to compromise, and overall, gives the viewer very little to root for in him. That being ...

Every anime has something special that sets it apart. Whether it’s the incredible world-building, the relatable characters, the beautiful art style, or the deep themes that stick with you, each one has its own unique charm. Every time I watch, I’m transported to a new place, meet unforgettable characters, and experience stories that stay with me long after the episode ends. Anime has a way of making me feel everything from excitement to inspiration, and I love how each series leaves a lasting impression on my heart. Here’s to all the anime that’s made an impact on my life and to discovering even ...

The Art of Time Skips: When, How and Why

With flashbacks, plot twists and foreshadowing often being the most analyzed narrative elements in anime, time skips get ignored quite often. However, they offer just as much potential, for better or for worse.
