I wish other versions of myself existed to talk with. It would be one way of assuring I'd get to have an intellectual conversation for a change...

I'd love that but unfortunately my "get better friends" budget is only a measly $10/month.

I have a feeling I'd constantly fight with my other selves.
Like that one story in Calvin and Hobbes when Calvin cloned a bunch of him to do his homework and chores but none of the clones wanted to do it because they were exact copies of him, thus ALL lazy and disobedient.

Are you saying you do that?
It was the best.... It had something special other comic strips do not.

I must admit with the newest episode I did get a genuine feeling that these characters have grown somewhat and have moved past their issues (as sanity-questioningly weird as those situations got at times). Well, Touko and Kakeru aren't quite there yet, but the other pairs I think are in a nice place.

Well I am a social introvert, I often feel like hiding when talking to people. There was also a joke ages back on the forums where I said that their were multiple of me or personalities to explain why sometimes my grammar was really bad, while other times I put a lot of work into expressing my thoughts. I hope that I have become more consistent since then, and I am not quite Tomoko levels of anxiety anymore. |

Episode 12:
Well, I had to ask myself what was going on quite a bit this episode until I realize it's some sort of spoiler[alternate reality]. Idk what this show is trying to do anymore but the technical aspects like artwork and soundtrack still looks nice. |

I understood Evangelion perfectly, but even I'm left wondering what the hell I just watched.

You guys sound like you are upset or offended that you are being challenged. Have you never seen Muholland Drive? Sometimes the best and most rewarding stories aren't spoon fed to you.
Magnificent anime. Animating all those moving figures of the township must have cost a fortune. Whatever was lacking in Glasslip up to this point was made up for with this episode. I rather like it when apparitions (Kakeru-prime in this case) are self-aware of their nature. You don't see that too often. |

I'm not particularly upset. I was quite jovial while watching it. I was just going "WTF?" every couple of minutes.

I agree here; I'm really liking this anime. One of the main reasons is that it's just plain different. It marches to a really different drummer than a lot of things, and that's why I think people are finding it hard to figure out. I find the effort of figuring things out-- things from why Yanagi sent the 'futon' text (which we later learn when Yukinari sees it) to what's going on with the weird vision events, to even for what purpose we're on this ride for. I think the show has now implicitly communicated to us what's going on with the weird vision events. I think DuskyPredator stumbled upon something close to the right answer after last episode. I think spoiler[It's not the future; what they're interacting with is parallel universes, the main one being where Okikura was living there for a long time and is established in the friend group, and Touko moves in in the winter. I think that this crossover happens between Touko and Okikura and moreso when they are close because these people and their moments together are the points of greatest overlap between these universes because the interpersonal dynamics there are coincidentally converging on something similar.] I also really liked the visceral aesthetics of the winter landscape, and the music and timing of everything. It really conveyed a unique mood extremely well. It resonated really well with Touko's loneliness and isolation. On a lower intellect note, I also get a real puerile sense of satisfaction from the visual innuendo gags this thing likes to pull, for example Hiro's sister walking in on him polishing a ski pole in his lap while he berates her for coming in without knocking, and Yanagi sucking the foam from Yukinari's ejaculating ramune. Usually I'd think this kind of thing is stupid but it works really well here, despite the fact (now that I think of it probably actually because of the fact) that the tone isn't the kind of thing that would usually do that. It's the serious presentation that makes it work. It's both funny and intellectually symbolic, if that makes any sense. |

I'm in the same boat as you. Just switch EVA with Air TV. I just sat though the entirety of that tonight, understood it perfectly, then watched this and am wondering what the hell I just watched. This show. I don't. What?
I'm not upset either. I'm just kinda going 'what'. I wish I cared more about the characters but I'm bored. Right now I'm just watching to get it over with. I'm not that attached to anything in this one. It's like "..........ok, whatevs." at this point. |

You will not see me talking to two other Chiibis or hiding while talking to people.  |
