    Just in time to celebrate the six year anniversary of Glasslip, it looks like someone was able to convince the poster to remove her "analysis" from one of the most upvoted posts there in the Glasslip discussion. As of September 27, 2020, Soulelle's "analysis" has been deleted and is no longer available for reading on Reddit. This comes very late in the game, but getting the reference to Soulelle's Glasslip "analysis" deleted is a big win, for me, and the entire anime community.

    While I am unlikely to be able to convince the 115 or so people who upvoted that post, plus the others who agree with Soulelle elsewhere (Crunchyroll, AniDB, to name a few) of her wrongness, at the very least, I am now assured that anyone coming across that Reddit thread will 1) no longer be exposed to the lies Soulelle was spewing and 2) it will be as though the people praising the analysis quoted will only be praising the other reviewer, Rodac, and not Soulelle. Soulelle never deserved that praise, and it's finally the case that this praise was rescinded: if people aren't going to agree with better minds who don't talk down to others, then they can't (and shouldn't) agree with Soulelle, either. The fact that Soulelle is a girl doesn't change anything: if one wants to be respected, they have to earn it, same as the rest of the world.

    People have agreed with Soulelle's psuedointellectual lies for six years, giving her opinion plenty of time to appear as though it was fact. Removing Soulelle from Reddit now has one important purpose even if it doesn't convince people of Soulelle's wrongness: this stops any more people from falling victim to someone who was in it for self-aggrandizement and cared little for productive conversation. With this being said, I am still open to an explanation and an apology from you, as to why you would bring Soulelle's nonsense here: it looks like a handful of people did indeed agree with Soulelle, and they don't appear to be interested in changing their minds.

    Soulelle's "analysis" on Glasslip was utter nonsense, and it is quite unpleasant to learn that the prevailing, incorrect opinion of Glasslip continues to propagate from Soulelle. Having read her analysis, I find that her opinions do not accurately represent the major thematic elements in Glasslip, for the reason that its focus is too narrow. She erroneously states that the chickens are of a crucial significance in mirroring Kakeru's own background and preference for security, and dismiss the "fragments of the future" as "figments of [Kakeru and Tōko's] imagination". This is clearly not the case: if Glasslip were to intended to be about a young man's desire to settle down, Tōko's friends would not have been a factor, and similarly, references to glass beads would not have been prominently featured.

    Soulelle's analysis is plagued with confirmation bias, where she had selected very minor details to fit her own, very narrow, views, while discarding events as insignificant if they did not support her own beliefs. Glasslip is certainly not about "[Kakeru and Tōko learning] about each other and about each other’s feelings and emotions this way"; if this were the case, Glasslip would have proceeded in the absence of Sachi, Hiro, Yukinari and Yanagi. The actual theme in Glasslip deals with relationships, and their impact on friendships. The "fragments of the future" were intended to facilitate the notion that even if people could see the future, the turbulence of love means that it would be preferable to take things one step at a time.

    Because of the damage Soulelle's load of bollocks does to any meaningful discussions of Glasslip, I ask that you retract your claims that Soulelle "was so good in explaining Glasslip that i want to share to everyone who may like them" and delete your posts praising her at first convenience. If you are looking to read a genuinely well-written, insight analysis of Glasslip, I will point you to this article. Further to this, here's another explanation of why Soulelle was, for all intents and purposes, making stuff up: had Glasslip really been about what Soulelle claims it to be, then why would the opening feature all of the things that Soulelle conveniently ignores?
