H2O: Footprints in the Sand

The first two episodes were rather funny to me: the typical erotic drawing, which is natural for a film adaptation of a visual novel, the harem – a crowd of girls with their own oddities – is very nostalgic, I started my way in anime with such series. In the beginning, there was a galim fan service and an introduction to the situation. Then a couple of moments opened up and the fan service started again, then all sorts of inappropriate things started. Considering that they decided to show all the branches of the novel, the plot is full of illogical events that sometimes looked completely out of order. Against this background, given the sometimes abrupt immersion in the fan service, which completely destroyed the linearity of the plot, all the skeletons in the closet that came out, which are the only interesting and worthwhile moments of the series, melt away and lose their significance. And the show's focus on a male audience knocked the last leg of the chair out from under me. It was interesting, but somehow not mine at all, although I liked the ending and the resolution of the situation with the village. And I was somehow unsettled by the very cruel treatment of the girl.

For some reason, they strongly resemble When cicadas cry. And not even because of the drawing, but in general, there is not a complete understanding of what is happening and the expectation of some stronger star, but I may be wrong, of course
