Review of A Lull in the Sea

If you think Nagi no Asukara is just a drama/romance anime then wait! you might quite miss a great piece. Nagi no Asukara circles around three main factors: - Two villages living close to each other: the sea village (Shioshishio) and the surface village. - Five school students: four from the sea (Manaka, Hikari, Chisaki, Kaname) and Tsumugu from the surface. - Many supporting characters from sea and surface villages. Nagi no Asukara, is a relationship work between two different cultures; sea and surface village. An anime between four friends & one who will come later in the series. It is an anime that magnificently utter lessons in bonds, friendshipand love.

I thought Nagi no Asukara would be just a plain drama/romance anime .. and I was wrong. I was amazed by how at a certain point in the series everything starts to turn out into a wonderful masterpiece; the story, the attachment to characters and even my steady level of enjoyment, all began to raise up to a higher bar.

Not all animes do quite well with such points of turn, but Nagi no Asukara did a great job.
