Valus said: Very good anime, from reading a lot of the other post it seems majority of people didn't understand anything going on in this anime. i'm guessing either very young age group with no life experience or just used to mindless fanservice and always in your face hold my hand happy ending explanations that don't actually require you to use a brain. Genres: magic, psychological, romance, slice of life Themes: clairvoyance, coming of age, friendship, love polygon, unrequited love seems spot on to me in regards to what the show's classification. I enjoyed the ending very much, very strong slice of life and coming of age tones. for me only thing that made sense was their relationships & it was clear who likes who after EP 10 or 11 even her visions made no longer sense, & final 2EP made it was even more confusing, i do not dislike this anime, but it lacks of explanation, they should explain it better Genres: Romance, Slice of Life, Supernatural i have seen psychological animes before & no problems, at the end all is explained |

| For whatever you can come up with in this borefest, that still doesn't excuse the non-existent communication of whatever it is trying to say. Sure, you can puzzle it together all you want from boredom, but that doesn't make the show any better for what it is: a BORING, mundane literal slice of life presentation with characters flatter than paper. |

QFT with the most unrealistic and awkward dialogue in all anime. :/ |
| I'm giving it such a high score only because of the art style.. ( expect for the character design ) The plot is just confusing, especially at the end.. And the Slice of Life and Supernatural genres does not go well together at all. I'm quite disappointed and sad right now.. x_x 8/10 |
 |
| I'm a big fan of shows that try to explain the plot in a different way than usual, but this was just a big mess. I don't care enough about the characters to look deeper into it. I guess it tried too hard to be something it isn't. And overall, the episodes were boring and I couldn't be arsed to care about the plot. The only good things are the animation and the music. |

X3blizzard said: Um....nope. When the mom mentioned that she use to have similar visions when she was younger she said they were not real, and that they were more like her desires....try watching it again dumb dumb.Being a slice of life anime doesn't justify it being crap and having absolutely nothing happen in 13 ep, if I wanted to watch a sol anime, I would have chosen the hundreds of different anime that actually wasn't total crap like glasslip, the only one that dumb around here is u and the people who enjoyed this clusterfuck of an anime, but I am not going to reason with you since giving this crap 8/10 is enough proof that u have shit taste.And fyi the future fragments were versions of alternate worlds , it seems u haven't really understood the story yet u are saying that it's all fresh in ur mind.In the glasslip deserves it's 5/10 rating since it's absolute crap, I would even go as far as to say mahou sensou was better and that's saying a lot |
 |
| Can someone explain this show to me please? Like the whole thing with the fragments of future and the relationship between Touko and Kakeru. Would really appreciate it. |

 |
| Don't throw the glass beads... that's gonna hurt if one falls on yer head! (ouch) The end fit in with the rest of the anime. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't anything special aside from it's slightly mysterious-romantic atmosphere. Who's voice was that at the end? Doesn't really matter I guess. The credits re-use of the stills was nice. |
  |
| I kinda going for the haters with this one cause the show is just too boring to bear. The only reason I downloaded it in the first place is that it was PA works anime. Don't get me wrong there are some good takeaways like the background scenes is good as in all PA works. The OSTs and OP music is very relaxing matched with the background scenes earlier but the upbeat Ending song destroys the mood. I don't need to mention the reasons why this show is just really bad you guys know the rest but my personal comment on this is it's just too boring. I feel like I'm watching the same episode over and over again. The relaxing feel also becomes a bad point as it allows you to fall a sleep while watching. I'm glad they used the opening song on the ending credits which I think is nice. |
| Guys i know what happened in the end :) They found out the shrooms they were taking were awesome :) |
| i enjoyed this series in the beginning but i swear to god, i did not understand a thing about it. xD seriously. i mean, whaaaaaat? |
 |
| This show gave me cancer. "Ehhhhhhh" doesn't come close to the confusion I had with this plot. |
 |
| this show is still easily the best of 2014 |

| In case you don't really like your life for some reason, watch this. You will shorten it by around 4 hours. |
 I've got a bad habit of clicking spoilers too fast, then regret it .. "The only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed." |
| (I watched this anime while it aired, so forgive me if I've forgotten stuff. I was finally inspired to at least say SOMETHING about it recently.) Sooo...what was achieved? What was the point of all of that? I mean, I just...okay so they can see into the future....and nothing happens with that. She forsees unfortunate events (let's be frank, events that might actually add a bit of interest to the anime)...but they never happen. And then an ending where I had NO CLUE WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I mean...does someone have an explanation? Tomzkk said: In case you don't really like your life for some reason, watch this. You will shorten it by around 4 hours. ^ For real |

StarryKite said: Rei7 said: This anime is a bit too deep for most people to understand. For you to understand and remember everything, you'll need to marathon the show. I know most won't give this anime a chance anymore but I definitely did. Once you understand the show you'll actually think it's quite good. The thing is, it doesn't matter. Yeah, it has some chicken symbolism and all this "I wanna feel at home" topic, but the characters are extremely boring and awkward, and so are their feelings. I don't believe these kids have ever been such close precious friends. Everyone's romantic feelings seem shallow and forced, especially Touko and Kakeru's. I just couldn't relate, couldn't make myself care for these characters, or care whether their affections will be answered or not. For a romantic slice of life it pretty much means that its core is already ruined. + 1 |

| copied from wiki In the end, Kakeru stays with his father because of Tohko as she makes him feel at home and attends school along with Tohko as he calls her name from behind. is this true? or someone just edited this to make this the ending? |

ss4chris said: really? how do we know this?o.O as the audience? We can't be sure if he did or not, since the voice Touka hears in the end calling for her can be something from her imagination. When the anime starts to reach the ending, Kakeru starts to wonder if he actually want or not to move, because he started to feel he found a place to live, rather than wandering around without people he can think of as friends or a gf. |
| @rooru-kun some think & still don't understand, awry1 is different & awry1 brain is different, some peoples brain is incapable of understanding it i mean its like with some art is, u need to be artist to understand it or a person who slightly has artist mind nothing against thinking, but this gave me a migraine, my head starts to hurt a bit if i strain my brain to much, like if a science dude explains things in hes own science lang that is impossible for me to understand cause i'm no scientist so normal anime fans & watchers won't understand it, only unique people will that also the reason i hate riddles in games, i always search for videos how others have done it, 2 much for my brain |

| What a waste of time |
| As one of the few people who thoroughly enjoyed this show, I feel obligated to post. Some stories are good for their characters or their plot. Others are good for their atmosphere. Glasslip succeeded in capturing the atmosphere of summer. Important questions like the nature of the future fragments and Kakeru's final decision remain unanswered, but they were never the heart of the show to begin with. The story is a pure slice-of-life, and I'm glad that the final episode stayed true to this vision. Real life isn't always wrapped in neat little bows. The story opts for a thematic conclusion over a narrative conclusion, much like Evangelion, with Touko hearing Kakeru's voice. Those looking for a close knit romance will understandably be disappointed, as they should be. This story is not for you. Overall: 9/10 |

| Ooh, I thought this was fun until about the middle. What the fuck happened after that? |
| I just came here to read the posts and feel good about hating this anime...btw did they delete the sarcastic review on the anime page? this one |

ooo333 said: rodac said: So in the end the only clear resolution that is shown is Hiro and Sachi, who are definitely shown as a couple (I'm not going to count Hiro's sister and her off-screen boyfriend). It's strongly hinted that Yuki and Yanagi are together, based on the reaction of the swim club as they run past and Hina's knowing smile--but it's not shown. As for Kakeru, the patch on the lawn where his tent used to stand suggests that he is off on tour with his mother although it is implied that he'll be back to watch the winter fireworks with Touko. I can tolerate ambiguous endings, but even for me there was just too much left hanging to be totally satisfied. It was pretty, the OST was marvelous, and if you worked really hard at it the ideas behind it were pretty engaging--but I wanted more closure damn it. (Later Edit: I didn't want to have to spend an hour going over it in my head to finally process and understand it--is probably what I meant.) I think one of the keys to this episode were the conversations between Touko's parents, and also between Touko and her mother. We have the exchange about how her father proposed during the meteor shower, and soon after we're shown all three couples watching the meteor shower in separate locations. Touko's mother also talks about the "fragments of the future" and acknowledges that Touko is an adult (as does Kakeru's father to him in another conversation). The way her family left Touko in the care of Kakeru's also looked pretty much like a symbolic acknowledgement of their relationship ("Please take care of our daughter..." although not directly said was pretty much implied). Back in the first episode we were given the foreshadowing that this would be the last summer that the original five friends would be together. That was true, as by the end of the summer things have changed forever--Hiro and Sachi go back to school as a couple, Yuki goes back alone as Yanagi rides the train to her modeling career, and Touko too is alone with her thoughts of Kakeru--the stranger who played a pivotal role in disrupting the comfortable world of childhood and moving them forward into adult relationships. This really was a slice of life, not in the sense we usually think of--cute girls doing cute things in a meaningless club after school--but in the sense of showing fragments of an important transition between two stages of their lives. It wasn't an easy show and it required a lot more effort than we normally have to expend to understand, but I think it was rewarding in the end. I do think that Yuki and Yanagi are together by Hina's reaction. Sadly, there were no kiss scenes between them. Touko and Kakeru brought nothing to the anime. Shame that they were the MC with their stupid visions. Interesting analys, still one of the worst anime I have yet seen, not saying much since I have been avoiding most of them. |

cometta222 said: i enjoyed this series. the ending was beautiful. the moments between touko and kakeru really did pulled my heart string. this is my understanding; so, kakeru decided to follow his mother, but no matter apart they are, they can still see and hear each other. kakeru wont be alone anymore. it's a bit heart-rending but their relationship is honest. 8/10 for me ^_^ But I wish they would be together in the future TT^TT |
| Just watch it yesterday. Really excited in the beginning of the series. But dissapointed in the last 3 episodes. Like, I don't even know what this series is all about. Is it about everyone's romance, friendship, or that "Mirai no Kakera". Like seriously? Or, maybe, just maybe, it's something like Interstellar. We don't know just because we're not understand. :v |

| What a shit show anime... Had sooooo much potential.. The art was great but seriously I couldn't even explain what this was REALLY about.. A girl who claimed to see fragments of the future but wasn't?? No idea.. So glad it's over. |
| LOL, the anime lot a hate. Personally I'll give this anime 5/10 because I didn't saw Kakeru in the end. I'm pretty confident that Touko heard Kakeru's voice, he was right behind her. I think he never left the village or at least he was there during the winter on the last minutes of the episode. And he probably stayed there permanently with Touko. The staff probably trolling us by not showing him but the hints are there that he was there all that time. |
