Mixed Feelings
I just finished Glasslip so I decide to do another review on it. Last one was on the first four episodes, this is on the complete show. So here it goes

Story- Generic slice of life story. Like in my other review I can't say much more then that. Granted I'm not a big fan of slice of life in general, but for the anime in slice of life that I have seen this is pret generic. But he story started to piss me off. Not because of the slice of life, I can live with that. It the other aspect they added to the show. The whole vision concept and power that our main MC and Kakeru (Hope to god I spelled his name right) have. It isn't never explained. They just showed glimpse and pieces of how it works. At first it was some future seeing thing but then the whole power got turned around in the final episode out of nowhere. It ended up being something different. And they barely explained that. That is my biggest gripe with it because they never fully explained how this power worked. I'm no expert in this, far from it, But I think if your going to add some supernatural power you need to explain it. Not show it, then say it might be something else and still not fully explain after you say it might be something else. Overall them not explaining that power took the story score down. Overall 3/10

Art- One of my high points in this anime, but I have a gripe with this two. Not the animation, no no no. It's the still frames. For anyone that has seen it you know what I am talking about. I don't know why but when they used the still frames all silly-hilly it pissed me off to know end. Other than that I got nothing bad to say about the background or the animation or the characters. Overall 8/10

Sound- The background music fits the theme and I really loved the opening and ending to it. And voice actors did their job. Not much else to say. Overall 8/10

Characters- While I will say these characters can be relatable, in anime, they are generic. Touko the MC who loves her friends and has a crush on David, Yanagi the girl who wants in incest love with her step brother (Kinda exaggerating that, but I sh*t you not about loving her step brother), Yuki the guy who has a crush on Touko, which isn't really returned (but has that incest direction if that completely bombed) , Hiro the cheerful jokester in the group, Sachi the quiet book reading friend who didn't want to lose any of her friends and Kakeru our mysterious transfer student who is the love interest of Touko.

Enjoyment- 7/10 I'll admit I actually enjoyed it. I'll honestly admit that much. Not higher because of the ending

Overall- 5/10 While the animation and sound is good the way it ends it without explaining the supernatural power that it tried to add to make it different from other slice of life, really ruined it for me. I'll will say though I would fully recommended this to slice of life fans. Others...not so much
