So H2O: Footprints in the Sand is about a boy named Hirose Takuma who is apparently blind, but meets a strange girl that only he can see/communicate with named Otoha. This "magical" girl goes and heal his illness of blindness, and Hirose starts to befriends the people in the village, especially the town hated girl named Kohinata Hayami.

Story: I have to say that it is a pretty interesting psychological/magical/dramatic/comedy kind of anime. Its quite an interesting blend, but overall it was pretty good. The plot was somewhat interesting, however, for those of you who don't like a slow development, like many other of its genre, I would not recommend you to watch it. Since it is a romance/drama kind of show it goes an a fairly slow pace, and most of the episodes may seem kind of irrelevant, but I do feel that this anime was like a puzzle piece or riddle. That each episode was a subtle piece that when slowly put together gives a somewhat satisfying plot and ending.

Art: The artwork isn't that outstanding beside the cute girls and typical boy like many others of its genre. However the anime is filled with beautiful scene and lots of rice fields since it does takes place in the country side, though the school doesn't look normal at all just saying.

Sound: The soundtrack was amazing in my opinion. I really loved both the OP and ED. The characters also sound nice, and their voices does fit their personality, so I thought that was a good one. Though the best part was the OP and ED, those were great songs.

Character: To say there was a deep character development would be an exaggeration, but to say that it lacked character development would be an understatement. So the anime's character development just falls in right around the middle. It was pretty good in how Hirose, and the girls that he meets slowly changes. Especially how Hirose tries to help the town hated girl named Hayami that is constantly harassed, even beaten by her own fellow classmates for a reason you will later find out later in the series. ;)

Enjoyment: I really loved this anime, however there was some part of it that wasn't the way I thought it would've been. It was really good, it evoked so many emotions from happiness to sadness. But overall it was pretty good. Though there was an episode that was like a curve ball and was totally random. And the last few episode evoked a lot of the WTF is going on kind of feelings. However unlike others of its genre, I do felt that it had more potential to be a little bit longer, and yet again like many others of its genre, the ending was a little bit too rush. But overall it was a great anime that you should give it a shot, so hope you enjoy! Well if you click not helpful(or one of those few who clicked helpful) I would greatly appreciate it if you could tell me what was good or bad about it so I can improve my skills! :D Well thank you very much! Hope you enjoy!
