It’s been a few years since the last box set edition of Nagi no Asukara saw its way out in Japan and there’s been little on the domestic front as well. Now, Netflix has added the series under its localized name of A Lull in the Sea on the site with its August 1st, 2020 debut. That would be the first time the series has been streamed on the service and I think the first time streaming since its original simulcast. With the show live, we now know the options for it and this is one that didn’t get anything extra with it. It’s in its original Japanese language and there is an English dub for it but it only has English subtitles.
The series was released in a beautiful premium edition from NIS America as A Lull in the Sea, which you can read our review of here.
Plot concept: Long ago, humans lived in the sea. However, some humans defied the Sea God and moved to the land, creating the division that now exists between Shioshishio, the Sea Village, and Oshiooshi, the village of the land. Now, four middle school students from the Sea Village, Manaka Mukaido, Hikari Sakishima, Chisaki Hiradaira, and Kaname Isaki must attend Mihama Middle School on the surface. While getting used to their new lives, these four and their new friend from the surface, Tsumugu Kihara, learn how true bonds of love and friendship can overcome any separation.
