Beautiful scenery, a hentai scenario at school around night time
Hina had some nice moments covering for her sister
A romantic hiking trip of Hiro and Sacchi with Yuki accompany Yannagi at the dance club

I would get the last mentioned couple, but the other two feels odd
Sacchi's intention is still not clear and Touko getting togheter with Kakeru, because they both have supernatural abilities
That's what I assume so far

I am totally and completely lost. I hope Seiyius's post will shed some light on this anime for me. Been watching since episode 1 and I don't know WTH is going on. I must be retarded.

Sachi goes on walk with Hiro, disappears in shock.....and then gets carried back! I dont know if she was tired, or worried about something, I dont know...

Yuki and Yannagi go for a run and to the dance practice...thats it...

and, a little more of a bond between David and Touko!

I wonder if the reason David had Touko listen to his mothers piano lessons were to see more of the future or hear more of the fragments I believe...or he just wanted her to listen to the classy music who knows...

Pretty average episode, nothing much happened, but I believe its probably the best one made so far for me.

Fell in love now. Seems that Touko doesn't want Kakeru to leave. Things got a little awkward when Touko's family went for a visit.
The story is a little hard to follow. But the scenes are understandable.

It's interesting because a lot happened, but it really feels like not a whole lot has changed. I guess every end is a beginning, and every beginning is an end.

Very pretty episode as always. The couples are all getting closer together, and Yanagi is pretty cute in some of her shots.

But, nothing much really happens in each episode...

What's the point in comparing Isshuukan with Glasslip or NagiAsu? Just because they are all romance genre? Isshuukan is made by a different studio,and btw,just because NagiAsu and Glasslip comes from the same studio,it's retarded to expect the same thing. fgs.

Sachi: "It feels strange not being able to see someone who's close, doesn't it?"
Hiro: "Can you see me from where you're at, Sacchan?"
Sachi: "No, not yet."

I thought this interaction was pretty powerful, actually.

My mom watches Chinese dramas.
Usually, she starts by watching the first one or two episodes.
Then, she skips right to the very end and watches the last episode.
Part of it is to conserve time [ after all, Chinese dramas can drag on for a very long time ], but she's said that honestly, there isn't much she's missing by not watching the bulk of the series. From the ending, she can pretty much piece together everything that happened.

I feel like the same thing, sadly, applies to Glasslip. It's a pity; I really wanted to like this anime and I had high expectations based off of what I had seen from P.A. Works before. They didn't fail to meet expectations on the artwork, but the plot is something that I'm still struggling to find. From the first episode, I could have watched this episode and had a coherent idea of what was going on. After all, didn't we see this coming? What makes an anime more interesting than others is that way of making the viewers second-guess themselves, to get absorbed into the characters and then find that not everything plays out as they expected. That's something that P.A. Works achieved with Nagi no Asukara, but for some reason, they fell short here, using hackneyed storylines and characters so predictable that watching them interact incredibly boring.

I have no idea what really happened this episode. We know Hiro and Sachi like each other, we know that Yukinari is probably going to realize his feelings for Yanagi, and it's been established probably since the first episode that Touko and Kakeru were going to end up together. In fact, this was just like something making what we knew more obvious. I'm not really sure what the point of this episode was, to be honest.

Additionally, I feel like Touko and Kakeru's relationship is somewhat forced. I've never seen them show much affection towards each other, and they don't even have a bond that I would attribute to friendship; it's more like Touko being astonished at the very few things that Kakeru says, and somehow that progressed to them in a romantic relationship.

I think my discussions- more like complaint sessions- about this anime with my friend at school really define what I think of this anime.

Seems Kakeru still hasn't made his mind. >.<

I thought we would see something like the meeting of parents is like an engagement for Touko and Kakeru, but we just got a normal visit like neighbors.

So Kakeru and Touko's families meet up. They all listen to that piece and the two of them get a glimpse of the future again. Was the fireworks a specter of the past, or a vision of the future? And whats with the sudden snow anyway?

The only thing I understood out of the episode is that Yuki and Yannagi, my preferred pairing, are the strongest bond of the lot. The talk with Touko is probably to clear the air, though I'm guessing that Yuki still has a dislike of Kakeru, what with his antisocial, unfriendly attitude. If Yannagi is leaving for university in the next year, then I wonder where that leaves them though. Maybe Yuki will find a Track and Field school where her Uni is too.

Sachii still has issues with Hiro, though they're slowly trying to work it out. That confession in the bushes was a bit on the downer side of things, kind of like a "I can't see you in my future yet, please give me some more time" kind of vibe.

As for the "Main" couple, I still don't get what the heck they're doing, but with two episodes left, you can bet your asses that there's gonna be at least a bit more of drama before the last episode. Perhaps he'll leave for a year and come back after promising to return in time for the fireworks or something.

I'm actually really disappointed in how things went. Was expecting a bit more angst and maybe some paranormal drama, but all we've had thus far is borderline chitchat that does nothing to advance the story much. Best we had was Sachii going psudo-yandere for a couple of episodes, but nothing much else..

Ah well... two more episodes and the entire ordeal will end.
Can't wait.

Fucking thank you!!! Jesus..all these Nagi reference comments. Same studio animating, that's as far as the reference goes. Nagi was good...we know. That is that and this is this.

This is a hollow show. Yes it is very disappointing.

Still as weird as always.

And Hina is rather creative, unless they've done that several times already. "make sure they aren't too worried" -> faking Touko is at home.

Wonder if their mom got actually fooled, or just decided not to pursue. She often looks like she knows exactly what's going on, whereas their dad is totally out of the loop.

Great visuals and good BGM doesn't make up for this terrible characters and boring plot.

The imouto is the best character out there... which is pretty sad.

I agree. I find that most of their screentime together is just random pretentious dialogue pulled out of their asses. Even their expressions on their faces aren't worth much. A studio like KyoAni does facial expressions especially well (like in Free!) but in Glasslip, our main couple's characters are like

Well that got a bit awkward after the kiss..but David and Touko grows even more closer together.

Pretty typical episode overall. There's still some connection development including some from Sachi at the local countryside.

Touko and Kakeru are probably the worst lead pair EVER. Their relationship (can you even call it one?) makes absolutely no sense;It hasn't moved forward beyond discussing these mysterious "fragments" that still haven't been given a proper explanation; And unfortunately, there isn't much in this episode that changes that.
And seriously WTF is with that perennial snowfall?
The better parts of the episode, though were the focus thrown on the other relationships that at least seem to be GOING somewhere. I enjoyed how the episode bounced around to each couple to reveal their different situations and where they are giving the episode at least something to fall back upon.
