Tide-Line Blue is basicly a military drama, action is included but its mostly just watching torpedoes being fired at back and forth. Therefore what really makes up this series is the characters, plot and drama. Story: The story is nothing great, its rather quite simple but its ingenious in its simplicity. Simple but touching, not complex but still intriguing because of this it flows very naturaly and at a high pace which just draws you in. Art: I dont have much so say about this, its average, I think the characters movement and motions seem more fluent and detailed then usual otherwise its good but not great. Sound: Just amazing, Ialmost never noticed the music while watching the series the music just flowed naturaly with everything else, enhancing the enjoyment considerably. Looking back at the series now its almost always a good piece of background music being played.

Character:
Here is where it starts getting interesting, there's a bunch of characters in this series offcourse and at a first glanze everyone seems like a run of the mill character.
We've got the typical rash and hot-headed shounen main character, the lost twin brother, the first-aggresive, later-loving girl with the perfect love triangel buildup and the perfect "sensei" to always be there and guide everyone.
However none of these characters will fit into the molds that you think they will, the characters of this series will always come out of nowhere and surprise you with their depth.

Enjoyment:
I enjoyed this series tremendously, I just got sucked into its pace and after that it was over in one seemingly very short night.
Something I haven't mentioned yet that really made this series great is its humour, yeah thats right, you cant see the genre "comedy" associated with this series anywhere can you?
But its in there, its not very frequent at all but when its coming its coming to squeeze the shit out of your stomach muscles believe me XD Those rare short moments really brightened this series up considerably and earned it the overall 8.

Overall:
This series has decent drama but bad action however what wins me over is the "feel" of the show. How I just cant wait for whats coming up next, its not that i really care about whats going to happen its just that once your stuck in its mood you just feel that whatever is going to happen you know its going to be one heck of a ride.
