Review of A Lull in the Sea

Nagi No Asukara in my opinion is one the greatest anime I've ever seen. There literally isn't an anime like it. I mean seriously what drew me into this anime was the first scene of the first episode. There is literally a male cooking with freaking fish swimming in the air. That already made me hooked into the anime. "Why is their fish? How is their fish? What the heck is this world?" I had so many questions just by the first second of the anime and was already so entranced. I could tell by the first few frames that this anime wasgoing to have really beautiful artwork. Anyways the storyline is really original. It is about a world in which the world is born from the sea but then people decided to go the surface because of reasons that is better explained in the anime. I don't want to spoil too much of the details but basically four children from the sea gets transferred to a middle school on the surface because their school is closed down. There is a more complex storyline but its hard to explain without spoiling anything.

Now lets talk about the characters. Every single character loves another and just seeing their relationships and dynamics is the best part of the anime. There isn't character plot line that I didn't enjoy. Each of them is unique in its own way. Hikari, the main protagonist of the show, was really a true protagonist. He really drove the show forward. If he wasn't in the anime there wouldn't be an anime at all. All the other characters, Manaka, Chisaki, Kaname, Tsumugu, Sayu and Miuna were also all essential to the story but not as essential as Hikari is. At least that is for my opinion.

The beautiful artwork and sound track is really what brought the story to life and that's something that not a lot of anime does. This anime really was just outstanding. Because of the originality of it's storyline, the amazing development of the characters and the beautiful aesthetics of the anime this anime deserves a 10/10. There is no mistake about what other reviewers say this anime is truly a treasure that everyone must see.
