Hang on. I need my Shinji kun here. Glaaslip is hated because its main storyline went nowhere in favour of random "deep" musings which amounted to nothing as well. |
| I my memory isn't failing me, I saw a review with the same start. Maybe you wrote it? Haven't looked into it though. Whats he point of posting a forum thread about it? |
 set by secret santa ; thank you! ily ♥️ |
Otakus ... love moe, ... melodrama, sad background stories, and tears. Sora no Method has all the moe and melodrama yet is disliked by the Otaku precisely because of the forced melodrama. What the Otaku wanted was another Asukara, another Key anime. how dare them wish for another series that they found to be enjoyable to watch. They wanted the feels. And they did not get that. Instead, they got reality. Shirobako is as close to reality as you'd get while still showing the whole anime production process in a way that doesn't feel like a documentary. Shirobako is highly regarded despite lacking all the "feels" as you said. |

| i feel insulted.. i never watch nagi no asakura because love polygon drama is not my thing, but glasslip has comedy and SOL tag when they first aired so i at least give them a try.. glaslip is not deep, NOR complex... how to say this.. umm... they are over minimilastic in things they try to tell that left too many ambigious interpretatious tone that left soo many possibility meanings... it make the viewer make their own meaning... and none of them actually proved by the series it self outside some hint here and there that can be argued and another theories ending can be logical as well.. just try read last episode discussion, many interesting thories possibly explained it, but the other theories also logical as well, but none can be said that is the truth, or at least mayority interpretation also realsitic? lOl... even my summer much more exciting than that and it coming from a nerds with few friends... |

Just because there is one thread or video praising it, doesn't mean you have to get offensive. If an anime is boring, then just drop it. But Glasslip wasn't just dropped, it was criticized and anime fans decided it to ripped it a new one. That's the point of this thread. If you consider Glasslip boring, then it makes me wonder why you are in the Glasslip section. Let me guess, to rip it a new one as well because its the cool thing to do? no because I saw it in the right corner with on the new discussions thingy lol Hating on glasslip was the cool thing to do almost 2 years ago, now it's already old so no it's not that bro, I just wanted to say glasslip is hated because it's boring nothing more |

| Glass lip is hated because it is stale and gets old incredibly fast, showcasing plot eliments that could've been interesting if they didn't just show them and proceed to go nowhere with them. Casting uninteresting characters that have next to no personality, with no real goals that the viewer will find likable or intriguing, and a plot line that runs in circles. It just ends up being a chore to watch, I couldn't even be bothered watching the final episode because I didn't care enough to see a conclusion that would essentially mean nothing. It's okay for you to like it but don't try to say it's because of people who enjoy moe shows. I doubt those kinds of viewers would've picked this up in the first place :P |

So yeah, two years does not matter. well yeah School Days is hated for different reasons, it will always be relevant. Glasslip will be forgotten in a couple of years |

| > It was non-episodic, mature, and felt real Yes, the jedi illusion episode indeed felt very real and mature. I really did not understand what SoL should be for all my life! |

BRB-kun said: I think this sums up most of the hate towards Glasslip. People can't accept stories that goes nowhere or ambiguous endings. It have to be simmetrical.Glaaslip is hated because its main storyline went nowhere in favour of random "deep" musings which amounted to nothing as well. Most anime plots are just like video game. When something steps outside this formula it feels like you guys can't accept the different thing. |
| Uh oh someone had to defend a shit anime that had a plot which was all over the place. This was probably the most hated anime at the time, because we had to find out what the hell was going on at the time. Even in the last episode we were wondering "why the hell did the guy leave?" And "will that guy fall in love with his sister" The saddest part is the chicken was the most interesting part of the whole anime |
 |
| After having read the OP I am now really intrigued in watching Glasslip. I'm a big fan of slow SoL shows so this show might actually surprise it. |
| Very much agree with this. Glasslip is great anime surrounded with wrong expectations. It's one of my favorite, glad someone else noticed what a true gem it is. |

| OP, I admire your optimism, but your thesis is way off. There are several reasons why Glasslip is hated. For starters, P.A. Works carries the clout of making phenomenal romance, slice of life, and paranormal anime (excluding RDG: Red Data Girl...there was nothing phenomenal about that). With that being said, people went into this series thinking it’s going to be a fascinating paranormal romance anime. Just one problem... The characters were about as likable as Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer. I get the whole “friendships drifting apart” element. As someone who has made and lost more friends in his lifetime than the average person, I completely get that. Hell, that’s actually one of the big focal points of one of my favorite anime of all-time (Ano Hana). However, as I watched this series, I felt no remorse for the emotions of these kids because these kids being friends in the first place was bad. These kids were just downright bad friends with shitty personalities. All I could think throughout the series was, “my God, Touka needs to kick her friends to the fucking curb because these kids are just the shittiest of people.” To add insult to injury, there just wasn’t any chemistry between Kakeru and Touka. Kakeru was about as boring as burnt toast and Touka just seemed incredibly oblivious to everything around her. There was nothing to their interactions that screamed “budding romance.” It just felt like a typical “protagonist is attracted to mysterious new kid” plot, but there was nothing interesting about the “mysterious new kid.” The other thing I take issue with OP is you claiming that this anime wasn’t designed for otaku. How do you know it was otaku that are hating it? I don’t consider myself an otaku and I watch a fair share of deep, compelling anime...and even I thought it was slow paced and boring as shit. I didn’t find it “2 deep 4 u” either, it wasn’t deep...it was nonsensical. The show went in so many directions that ultimately ended nowhere. So I disagree with your assessment wholeheartedly. People don’t hate it because it was “deep” or “different.” They hated it because it was just an overall bad show with terrible execution. |
