And holy fucking cow! What a messy romance. A love-triangle? No. Quad-? Penta-? No no. It was a freaking love Octagon. I don't want to watch anime like this again. I was really looking forward to see how the sea and the land people interacted more and the dynamics between them. But no, we just have to deal with this messy teen romance.
But I would definitely be lying if I say that I didn't appreciate some of it's moments though. They were really well done. The artwork was pleasing. The story had a poetic undertone. The characters weren't your typical-anime-level dense. I can definitely appreciate all that.
The ending was also pretty conclusive and I think it made most of the audience satisfied. But as for me, the one lesson I think you should take from this story is... FUCKING COMMUNICATE. The sea god didn't do it. His wife didn't do it. And they are going to suffer all of eternity for that. Sure. That's cool. But even at the very end, the two characters who should have learnt from this eternal mistake don't freaking say it out loud. Haha. Are you kidding me? What was the point really? Don't tell me, "Oh you have to just feel it and understand it". Fuck no. Communication. It. is. vital.
Anyway, I'd love to watch an anime set in a unique world like this for sure! But anything with these weird romance plots, please... no.
