Review Glasslip

I think I'm a clone now

Toka Fukakami is a young woman who has the hobby of blowing glass like her father. She lives in a small town with four of her closest friends. Things looks like they could change when a new boy named Kakeru comes to town. His arrival awakens a strange power to see the future in Toka when she looks through glass.

Weren't expecting that in a slice of life show.

Glasslip is a thirteen episode show which is sort of cross between slice of life and drama which seems to be a new specialty of P A works, the studio behind this show.  While this formula has worked in other shows I found that it falls completely flat in the case of Glasslip. The problem I feel is that it is a combination of two genres but lacks the usual draws of both.

Dramatic undressing

As a slice of life show it fails as there isn't any good comedy or cuteness to distract from the lack of a plot. As a drama this show fails as there isn't any really good character development and much of the show lacks a clear direction. While some high concept types might accept this as naturalist storytelling, the presence of supernatural elements in the show ruin even that angle.

Overall Simply don't watch Glasslip. I wanted to like this show but it simply doesn't work at any level.

Rating the Tin flower (Aoi Hana) for being a dreadfully boring story about teenagers
