Reception
Matt Packard of Anime News Network praised Glasslip for being visually beautiful, but criticized it for the generic characters, the lack of explanations for the supernatural phenomena introduced at the beginning of the series, and the presence of too many incongruities. Stig Høgset, writing for THEM Anime Reviews, also praised the striking visuals but found the characters believable and showed maturity when dealing with their respective relationships. Høgset ultimately found the show disappointing because its great start was marred by Tōko's visions leading toward a vague conclusion, saying that it "basically sells its own gimmick as a huge waste of time." Isaac Akers of The Fandom Post praised the series for its "aesthetic expression of mono no aware" through a traditional romantic drama narrative with characters that deliver organic teenage angst but said that its appeal depends on the viewer, concluding that: "It's unlike anything else I've seen, and its numerous strengths in expressing its core theme make for a show that's fascinating to watch. It's not a show that I'd recommend to everyone, but for those who are looking for what Glasslip is offering, you won't be let down." Chris Beveridge, also from The Fandom Post, called it a visual delight while its characters traverse through interesting relationships (highlighting both the Sachi/Hiro and Yanagi/Yukinari pairings), but felt it was one of PA Works' weaker shows, concluding that the series "as a whole is pretty well put together but is just missing something critical, a spark of some sort, to take it the next level."
