Sakura Quest (2017)

Tags

Hanasaku Iroha, Sakura Quest, Shirobako

Sakura Quest is another “young people working” anime from P.A. Works who previously delivered the Hanasaku Irohaand Shirobako. Stacked against those Sakura Quest is a very slow burner that pulled an emotional reaction in the finale but not before.

GLASSLIP (2014) couldn’t even manage an ENTERTAINING trainwreck

I admit it: choosing “Oh what a lovely trainwreck” in the How Low Will GLASSLIP Go Poll was unwarranted optimism on my part.

I should have chosen either “What were they thinking? Were they thinking at all?” or “Oh well, we’ll still have Nagi no Asukara and Hanasaku Iroha”.

When I wrote my first thoughts I was still cautiously optimistic that GLASSLIP would recover from its directionless wander into an actual story.

I also recommended following Pedantic Perspective for a good set of episodic reviews[1].

One out of two aint bad I guess.

GLASSLIP is in many ways a typical P.A. Works[1] production: pretty to look at, filled with engaging characters that you rapidly connect with, blessedly devoid of fanservice for the most part[2].

There’s only one problem: the first half of the series seems to be missing.
