Kokoro Connect

Hey guys sorry I havent been posting I have been really busy with school and work.  Lately I have been watching a show known as Kokoro Connect and its been quite amazing.  Its about a group of 5 friends in the same club and how supernatural forces begin to tamper with their everyday lives.  People fall in love and fall a part blah blah blah. Its just one of those subjects im a sucker for no way around it.

Nagi No Asukara- Nobody Loves Who They're Supposed To

Plot Summary from ANN: Plot Summary: Long ago, humanity lived in the sea. But the humans who longed for the land left the sea behind. They cast aside the special raiment they'd been given by the sea god that let them live in the ocean. The thinking of the sea humans and the land humans became as separate as the places they lived, and as countless time passed, they forgot they were once one people. This will change as the land-dwelling human Tsumugu Kihara befriends four students who live in a village at the bottom of the sea.

What this summary doesn't tell you is that all of the characters will fall in love with the wrong people and drive you absolutely insane.  My friend who recommended Nagi No Asukara to me said he loved it so much because he loved all of the characters.  That was not the case for me,  The only characters I can honestly say I liked were Hikari and Tsumugu.  They weren't boring like Kaname or stupid like Manaka.  The animation is gorgeous in this show and I would recommend this anime to people solely based on that. I mean c'mon

Like this show is beautiful

My biggest complaint about this show is although the story is good i just feel like it was too slow.  It might of just reminded me of my terrible experience watching Glasslip which is also by P.A. Works.. All and all I would give Nagi No Asukara a 8 out of 10.  Not my favorite, but i don't regret watching it at all.  Think I am going to watch either Noragami or Nisekoi next..will keep you guys posted!

Cheers,
Ryan

Glasslip- I cant stand this show anymore.....

I saw this show at the start of the Summer 2014 season and it reminded me of Nagi No Asukura so naturally I was excited.  I watched the first episode and it kind of sucked dick, the second episode was not much better, but the third seemed promising so I continued to watch it.  I have spent the past 5 weeks wading through the shit pool that is Glasslip and I could not be more fed up! The characters are so boring and nothing about this anime intrigues me in the slightest.  The best part about this anime is the musical score and i'm even tired of that because it plays in the background THE WHOLE FUCKING EPISODE!!!  If the relaxing piano that plays throughout the whole series does not put you to sleep the boring character interactions will.  Im 8 episodes in and I just have to say this show is a no-go.  Of course i'm going to continue to torture myself for the coming weeks because i'm in too deep!
