To be honest, I was kinda pissed off by the main lead Hikari, at first. Having many episodes downloaded is somehow irritating to me to 'drop this anime!', knowing how much money I spent in Internet cafe downloading this show. Well, just a preface, but then, I am not sure how to put it, I began to love it.
The story progresses well, very well indeed. The port town isn't something new, still the show makes it possible to 'renew' the usual plot port town concept. A remarkable thing in the story is the romance progress, makes it even greater (Is it possible someone much younger than you and loves you, then she/he becomes a peer to you?).
The art is commendable, I should say. Just take a look at the cover or simply watch the episodes.
Opening theme song as well as the ending theme song never cease to amuse me every time I listen and hear. The voice acting goes well, the female leads, primary my favorite.
Characters in this anime develop greatly. You'll definitely like it the time you start watching. Not to mention their cute expressions.
You'll enjoy the anime to the fullest starting the new opening theme comes, of course with some new features added in it.
Nagi no Asukara is a worth-watching anime for you who loves teenage romance, fantasy-yet-realistic life, and stuff. It's a great anime, a master piece indeed.
