Ok. After soaking up the snuggles from everyone and getting a couple of hours worth of sleep, I'm more balanced to write about the anime that is "H2O ~ Footprints in the Sand ~".
Beware. There will be embellished writing ahead!

During the Winter Season I didn't catch any new series (beyond Clannad) and instead read about most of the others on a anime blog, which I regretted in hindsight since there were a few that would've been nice to see instead of just reading about. H2O ~Footprints in the Sand~ didn't get any attention beyond episode 2 because of that particular blogger's lack of interest in it and due to it clashing with other shows on that particular day. The premise intrigued me, however, and even more so after Ichigo reviewed part of it in Episode 118.
Determined as I am to follow a lot of the Spring Season's offerings first hand I have also gone on a general downloading spree. Having nothing but Naruto and Bleach to follow (the latter managed to instantly put me off with its very first episode in a new filler arc) in between waiting for new episodes of my selected Spring shows spurred me on to buffer up my archives further. In the midst of acquiring old as well as new animes across the board I caught sight of a torrent for H2O ~Footprints in the Sand~. Said and done, it was given a folder in the archive. Here are my views and thoughts of the show compiled in a brief review.
