Review of A Lull in the Sea

Wow there's a lot to say about this anime, but let me just first say, this is one of the best anime series I've ever watched. The series tackled more genres and themes than I could even imagine possible in a single series. Discrimination, change, love, friendship, you list them. A beautiful romance tale that includes a fantasy world, and showing how fate can be changed, and that it's okay for change to happen. The love triangles were strong in this anime. There were so many love triangles that it was hard to keep up with. And with that fact in mind, it is reallydifficult to satisfy all the viewers, as everyone has their own view on the character relations. With a heavy emphasis on feelings and emotions, honestly I did think some parts were pretty sappy and cheesy. But I was really satisfied with the ending, having the characters mature emotionally. While I can't say I cried, I definitely teared up at parts. More than anything, this anime isn't sad, it's just really heartwarming. Watching this series felt like watching a fairy tale movie, like something from Disney. I loved the fantasy world aspect they threw in, as well as the whole "prophecy" aspect of it. The art style was also just amazing. I haven't watched that many works by PA, but this series has a super similar art style to TARI TARI (if you watched it you'll definitely notice the similarities). Overall, if you love the romance genre, you must give this one a watch.
