Ok, so I'm sure their have already been like a hundred reviews for how bad this anime, and mine may pander to that group, but I have to agree this anime was a giant disappointment.

Story: 3/10
The story follows Touko Fukami, a wannabe glass artisan who divides her time between spending time with her friends in a café and helping her father in his glass shop. Then all of sudden one day she meets this boy named Kakeru Okikura who can see into the future, and she somehow begins to see into the future as well. Unfortunately this plot never gets enough time to develop and is ultimately brushed off during the final episode.

The subplots of this anime mostly consist of the relationships between the friends and the presence of a love hexagon. The love hexagon basically follows Touko likes Kakeru while her friend Yuki likes her, Yuki's stepsister Yanagi likes him, Kakeru likes Touko, and Sachi, Touko's best friend likes her and their other friend Hiro. The feelings that each character has for their significant other are revealed throughout the anime, but considering how forced and unnatural these confessions came across as, I honestly couldn't care about any of their relationships.

Characters: 2/10
The characters in this anime were very flat and one dimensional. They also don't do anything worth making them likeable. First we have, the main protagonist, Touko Fukami, she wants to become a glass artisan and can see into the future apparently, that's all you need to no about her. Then there's Kakeru Okikura, he's best described as a loner who can see into the future, as well. There's Yuki who likes Touko and runs. There's Yanagi who likes Yuki and starts running. Finally there's Sachi who is bisexual having feelings for Touko as well as Hiro whom she ends up choosing and that's really all you need to know about him other than he works in the café they hang out in.

Art: 7/10/Sound: 5/10
The art and animation for this anime is really the only redeeming quality. Glasslip was produced by PA Works who have done an excellent job producing much more quality anime such as: Angel Beats! and Another.
The sound was average at best, the OP was cute, but also generic. The ED was also generic and nothing special.

Enjoyment: 4/10
I did not enjoy this anime all that much. I was quite disappointed by it, as it seemed to have a lot going for it such as a great animation studio but unfortunately it did not meet my expectations

Overall: 4/10
If you're looking for a great slice of life or friendship anime, I highly recommend you watch the Clannad series, Angel Beats!, or this seasons' Ao Haru Ride or Barakamon, they are much better than this shit.
