>>284575243muri muri...
>>284575180Not that. The one by Hinako.
>>284574694I feel very happy about it.
They're all annoying, useless characters that don't deserve a happy ending and should end up alone or dead.
>>284575203Ugh.
So the fish is just stringing her along and has no intention of doing it? Is it true the biting was just a prank with no binding power over the fish?
overall the pacing for this adaptation has been really good, and it should be ending at a good point next episode. really hoping we get a 2nd season
>>2845751773P endgame is real
>>284575357she is going to eat her out
>>284575177foxe can watch
>>284575357she says it's an official pact so assumedly she's magically bound to fulfill it
>>284575357>So the fish is just stringing her along and has no intention of doing it?No, the fish is fully committed to it because the alternative is Hinako just killing herself.>Is it true the biting was just a prank with no binding power over the fish?Two seperate things. It's unclear if there's any sort of external binding power beyond keeping her word to Hinako. Which is just as important in itself because it needs to be be Hinakos choice to live, anything else is just another betrayal from finish.
>>284574727>fishe predator instincts activated
>giving your dirtbag husband-wife one more chance before you decide whether to sign the papers or not: the series
Hinako's a bitch who's hurting two poor animals who care about her instead of rubbing their tummies and giving them treats.
Why lesbians like to lick each other's blood?
>>284574963She was never in love with Hinako
You can't fuck a fish.
>>284575742Not with that attitude
BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH HINAKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Hinako is a poor soul that needs constant hugs and therapy for a non autistic yokai.
Shiori got Hinako's first kiss.Miko will get Hinako's first sex.
I want to torture Hinako until she sees the importance of life.
>>284575650Hinako is literally the type of girl that only a creature from the depths of the dark abyss can love.
>>284575654free iron
>>284574694tell me ep 13 is a time skip finale and she gets ripped apart from both shiori and the fox
The more I reread the manga, the more I realize that their relationship seems to spend more time in the lows than in the highs.
11 stitches
Blushing Hinako is very cute
>>284576019Has Hinako started to see the fish in a different light yet? Instead of just her preferred way out I mean.
Consent?
>>284576019It's supposed to be frusterating and uncomfortable. >>284576063C52 was a pretty big turn. She's able to seperate the Fishe that gave her blood as a child and the Fishe that's there in front of her in the now
Great soundtrack.
>>284576039>>284576111Thank you!!!
>>284576063Well, Hinako finally grasped the fact that Shiori cares about Hinako as much as Hinako cared about her own family when she heard Shiori's heart racing while trying to protect her from a youkai, and has been more caring toward her in return. I would say by the latest chapter it feels like they are finally standing on more equal ground where they can both communicate and support each other emotionally.
Finally some actual yuri action this episode
I've been behind a few eps and am just catching up nowFishe is not as bad as I thought she was desuFoxe still bestBut fishe is okay. Stinky but not completely awful
>>284576480>Foxe still best
>>284576389Understanding that the fish cares about her is one thing, but in order to actually start looking forward in her life, I think she'll need to start thinking about how she feels towards the fish, as well. The manga's been very careful so far to always frame Hinako's thoughts towards Shiori, even as they become genuinely closer, as "someone who really cares about me, just like my family"; I think the first time she realizes she's also "someone who I really care about, just like my family" will be a very significant moment. If Azami's worked out a way to pose a genuine threat to Shiori this time, that might be a big part of her contribution to the story.
>>284575868Fucking lol'd. Just needs Shiori's dumb :D face shopped on the fish.
>>284576585Yeah they've definitely been sprinkling some not so subtle hints about the story moving in that direction, like when Tsubaki asks Hinako about what Shiori is to her but Miko makes her fuck off before Hinako has to come up with the answer.
Why is all the sitches just Hinako crying?
>>284576480fox is boring as hell, fish is more entertaining
>>284577020>fox is boring as hell
>>284574694Amazing episode and great adaptation so far. I'm pleasantly surprised.
>>284577060if you showed this to Miko 300 years ago, she'd ask the monk to just kill her right away
>>284574694Did they pussy out with an offscreen kiss?
>>284577060Wannabe tiktok viral dance that never happens in the anime itself?
>>284577116Even Towa no Yuugure got an onscreen yuri kiss
>>284577206didi the fish manga had the kiss?
>>284577116Honestly I thought it made it much more intimate to not show us but still making it pretty clear that they kissed
>>284577233The cuck mindset
>>284577116>Did they pussy out with an offscreen kiss?yes
>>284577381>Yeah...lemme just plaster my whole face onto you...
>>284576019Standard lesbian affair
>>284576213What was the song with vocals that played on the beach?
>>284577116It wasn't a kissFishe bit her mouthFishe doesn't know what a kiss actually is
>>284577489Give up, Kanye.
>>284577489Guess Miko needs to step in and help the dumb fishwoman for the 100th time...
Post fishe :D
>>284576938It's a hinako crying show
>>284577560TrueFoxe needs to initiate a PROPER three-way kissuTo save hinako, of course
>>284577489She knows, she just needs to work on her technique.
>>284577489She literally talked to Miko about “stealing a first kiss from a young lady”
>>284577489she literally brags about tongueing hinako directly to mikuck
To be fair, if you lived in the ocean all your life you'd probably think a kiss was about teeth too.
>>284574780This felt much lewder than the manga panel.
>>284577750hey, it worked though
>>284577831true I guess, her fish rizz is just that strong
>>284577707It's not the first time fish does it. Poor Azami, the things she probably had to do.
>tfw your life is under threat again
>>284578173Touch grass, get laid actually works. Hory shit
Hinako needs a therapist
>>284578218>Hinako needs a rapist
>>284578218Shiori just needs to get Hinako to sit on her face and she'll surely feel better.
>>284577629Aren't the youkais suppose to fix that? Are they stupid or something?
This could all be solved by summoning her dead family so they can tell her to stop being a fucking retard and live.
>>284575962This Shiori would fix our Hinako by now.
Is this rape?
>>284578702Shiori is keeping Hinako alive without consent.
>>284578702just a fish lesbian mating ritual
>i'll eat you someday>eat her pussy insteadNever ever trust yokai scums
>>284574694How do you feel about spoiling plot developments in the OP
>>284578771Everything Shiori does is for herself so consent doesn't matter.
Any manga/anime where the yuri couple gets ntrd by a man?
>>284578939Yes. Now fuck off.
I ship fish with fox
;_;
>>284578999Is this another lie or a metaphor?
>hinako dies of old age>shiori and miko have gay sex to remember the good old days
>>284579023what's in a word?
I will never let weebtrannis gaslight me into having sex with a mackerel! (※Unless...)
Hinako says fishe is always selfish, but I don't recall JK Hinako ever doing anything selfless. Even her wish that fox becomes friends with fishe after she dies is nothing more than self-reassurance.
>>284574694Why did the fishewoman mouthraped that poor jk?
>>284579125Hinako is not gonna die if she keeps drinking Mermaid blood thou
I'm so mad they didn't show the kiss with the camera being so close to showing it, it's such an awful tease but at least I hope it's fixed in the BD.
hinako is back on the menu!
She's gonna eat her for reals, just not that way.
wait what do you mean episode 13I thought this was the last one up until the endcard
Marebito has a similar scene at the end but that was a masterpiece of eroticism and violence. Watatabe staff is full of cowards
>Shiori eats Hinako>Hinako regenerates from some blood splatterdevilish
>>284579780Especially because recently Watanare became a huge hit showing several kisses so if it was studio mandate, that mean they're severely out-of-touch
>I want to die.>I'll kill you.>Actually, only after you're happy.what was the point of this series
>>284580088Retard
>>284580123It's not like the show is available to children. They have no excuse
>>284580148I'm happy it's filtering the watanare crowd.
>>284576039She'll need more than that after I'm done with her!
>>284580182After 12 episodes I wouldn't call it filtering.
Fishe's feelings for Hinako>wants exclusivity >wants her beloved to be happy>made a lot of mistakes and trying to become a better person>self-harming devotion>sweet physical intimacies that affirm Hinako's value as a living treasure and confirm her physical presence to the Fishe>bite-kiss was a PROVOKED act of passion caused by Hinako's unreasonablenessHinako's feelings for Fishe>emotionally distorted and self-serving>offers her life and body to Fishe in return for extreme physical intimacy >does not respect Fishe's autonomy as a partner with needs and desiresReminder Fishe is a pure merMAIDEN in LOVE and Hinako is a lustful harlot only looking to get off. >>284580148Wait until 13 before we have all have a melty.
>>284578845well it's not really a spoiler if you watched the episode when it released like a normal person>b-b-but i was at workskill issue
>>284579570had to stop her from committing suicide
>>284580182Expressing love is something beautiful. It doesn't need to be censored
Miko is cuck
Memes aside, I really do love this chapter. A confession and a kiss were never going to be enough to save their relationship and it really sets up the pseudo-reset with the focus on communication and all the misinderstanding, angst and pain that comes with that.[/sooiler]
Why the episode title is "Beloved Child"? Are they implying Shiori loves Hinako as a daughter? That would explain why they censored the kiss
>>284580511In Japan, rape is the cause of and the solution to all life's problems. The writers are just trying to appeal to people who normally don't watch yuri
>>284580518Fishe's biggest problem was she was after a memory of Hinako that didn't exist anymore. It's here she chose to grab the Hinako in front of her.
>>284580550In Spanish, the title is "Querida Hija" (Beloved Daughter). I don't know how much contact latino dubbers have with Japan
>>284579780>>284580088This adaptation sticks close to the manga and that's how that scene looked in the manga.
>>284580289Hey Hinako is getting better toward the fishe even if it took 50 chapters
>>284580676They could improve the source material. >>284580054 is that scene done right
Season 2 when?
>NOOOOOOOO WHERE'S MY ON SCREEN KISSU BETWEEN HINAKO AND FISHE???!?!You'll get it when fishe does a proper kiss.
>>284580985No I wont because Hinako will ruin it by biting off a piece of the Fishe's lip
I AM NOT AFRAID TO KEEP ON LIVING
>>284580851>ex-wifeMore like ex-roommate. Hinako is the only bride for this fish woman.
>>284581010Imagine the incredible look on that fish's face if Hinako bit off part of her lip and ate it so she could be immortal with Shiori and stay with her forever.
Fishe should kiss fockse too.
>>284577831but at what cost, fishe is fucking miserable
>>284580985To be fair, you guys have been hyping up the no kiss for weeks. It's understandable many are disappointed
>>284581021Shiori's been inside Azami.
S2 never
>>284581564Shiori and Hinako have mutually been inside each other (blood).
I wasn't expecting Miko to be my favorite girl at the beginning. She's literally perfect.
>>284581732Miko is the male gaze
Predator.
>>284581331>you guysI never did. I only ran Tanuki propaganda here and remind everyone not to believe in fishe's lies.
>>284581894But you can't deny there were many anons hyping the no kiss as the moment everybody was waiting for and it was a nothingburger
>>284581935tbf the pages themselves were also posted many times
>>284581983They could improve the original material. It's an adaptation, not a page-by-page copy
>>284582076Sure but what does that have to do with what I said? If you were here to see anons hyping the scene they were also posting pictures of it without the spoiler tag so it wasn't a surprise what it looked like.
>>284582365True.
when is fox's girlfriend coming :(
>>284582569She's a christmas present. Just wait a week.
>>284582569Fish is already here though.
>>284582365Your feedback is a mirror. Watch that.
Bros can a a bro get a QRD of hte last 21 mins? I kept drifting off... zzzzzzzzzzz
holy shit I hate fish SO MUCH
>>284582877Shiori maybe wasn't a mistake.
>>284582895
>>284582569Next week. Final scene or post credits might be Tanuki insulting her cementing the humiliation ritual.
When will Hinako stop being a uggo? Her eyes are always swollen. She always dress in muted colours and always looks like she got 2 hours of sleep. Why does Miko allow this?
>>284583178It's actually a predatory tactic to lure hot youkai in that want to take care of her.
Umm yes, that was the sound of a lesbian kiss. Time for the little princesses to become women and pay their taxes.
>>284583285But Shiori doesn't have money...
>>284583357It'll be another episode of Miko saving Shiori's scaly ass again.
>>284583357So Hinako will give birth to their hellspawn, pay the bills and hide the bodies Shiori kills? Whoa.
>>284583460the only thing that fish is killing these days is a bag of potato chips actually it's pretty funny how easily Shiori seemed to give up eating humans without really caring and is just happy with mcdonalds or whatever

>>284582569Furry v furry humillation ritual incoming.
12 episodes and basically nothing has happened, they just constantly repeat the same three conversations over and over.It's like someone fed a 2m music video into an AI and told it to make a 7 hour TV series out of it.Fox is hard carrying this on her cute back.
This episode seems to be filtering a few anons...
>>284584508Watanarechads simply can't sanction out-of-screen kissing.
>>284584410Mimi doesn't like your attitude.
>>284585050She can't deny that anon is correct though.
>>284584410It kinda is like Hikaru from summer.
>>284585328Is that one fun? I'll need to cope with something when fish animu ends and I don't know when kimishinu will air.
>>284585328>It kinda is like Hikaru from summer.I liked that one better
why did she trust lying fishe again?
what did Hinako call Shiori again as a childsubs just said "fishe" but that sure was a mouthful in jp
>>284585612「お魚さん」Fish-san with a polite honorific in front of it
>>284585783thank u
But what did the kiss look like in the manga?
>>284585538because fishe used her words which shows integrity, which made her seem trustworthy
>>284585997sea lesbians only want one thing
>Episode 9 that broke Hinako airred the same week as chapter 52 Is this the yuri equivilent to the sealing and unsealing of Gojo?>>284585538Hinako has her own fucked up draw to Fishe. Also >>284585995.
Hinako looks really hot when bawling her eyes out.
>>284580851Get over it.
>Baww, you are selfish! leave me alone! i wanna die!>One rough kiss later>How about I cook for you?Women.
>>284586648I love Fishe so much.
>>284583555Shiori never saw humans as a particular delicacy, simply as another available food source. If it becomes inconvenient to eat them she doesn't really miss the taste, especially since the modern era has no shortage of food at all.
Was there any after credits scene this episode?My video file still shows a lot of time left after the credits hit but the video file shits itself if I try to scroll past where the credits ends
>>284586986No after credits scene
Is there another episode?
>>284587412Yep.
>>284587412YesShiori is going to ruin Christmas
>>284587412one more next weekmerry fishmas!
>>284583555>and is just happy with mcdonalds or whateverI'm gonna level with you, I'd do a lot of things for a McGriddle.
>>284587533But will foxe kita be there to save it??
Evangelion refrence
>>284587724Yes, Foxe is based next episode.
>>284587894GoodI will cum inside Foxe now
>>284585427>>284585328Is Hikaru real BL or just bros being bros? Are there kisses and buttfucking?
>>284587533>Shiori dies for some stupid reason>Time skip>Hinako is an adult now and say thanks to Shiori for helping her during her adolescence>Last scene is Hinako walking with her husband and daughterMerry Christmas
>>284588003Queer but not BL according to the author.
>>284576389> ...I see.Oh my, is someone jealous of the fish's new girlfriend?
>>284588027That sound like bros being bros. I like male friendship. My favorite anime is Saint Seiya, despite Asian women believe they all are gay
>>284576389Azami's rage leaking there.
>>284588095The protagonist is explicitly homo, he just can't see the monster as the guy he had a crush on. I haven't kept up with it for a while but it's as gay as your usual yuri manga that has autists arguing it's not really gay despite being really gay.
>>284574963Hinako is her daughteru
>>284577116Japanese people need to breed
Hinako is way to high maintenance
>>284588176Japanese men have bushido but it doesn't generate moe like romantic friendship so it's not the same
>>284588367iPS....
>>284577750Hinako will turn into a sexy baku
>>284588367The low birth rate is exagerated by neurotic nips and western boomers still mad for WW2. Besides, an economic system build on infinite growth with finite resources is insane
>>284578255Can confirm. Pumping my breakfast at Tiffany’s bpd semen demon full of cum has cured my depression.
Hina's pregnancy beam!
>>284578322Do you think Satan will just help a mermaid bitch out just because she asks?
>>284579780It seems more impactful seeing Hinako’s reaction to getting macked on by a stinky fish.
>>284587781Top: ShioriBottom: Hinako
literally all they did is talk in the rain this episode.
>>284580098Hinako doesn’t want to get eaten by a mean ugly fish demon or tongue monster but is okay with being eaten by a sexy mermaid illusion
How mad will you be if they don't show the start of ch29 next episode?
>>284588702and that's a good thing
>>284588176Those people have no patience.
>>284575520so why exactly hinako decide to trust fish again?
>>284581953Whuts it say
>>284588855>pervertWhy does Fishe think anyone wants to see what's underneath her "clothes"
>>284588862>>284586101
>>284588862Being suicidal doesn't mean you constantly want to die. It more appropriately means you don't want to live. This sometimes manifests in the active will to kill yourself but those moments are rare. Generally it's a very disjointed experience full of overwhelming clashing emotions that drive you numb, exhausted, and self-destructive. Hinako wants a reason to live but she's probably afraid to ask for it, thinking she doesn't deserve it or that it can't be real. Allowing herself to be fooled again is a compromise.
fishe bite hinako in lipfox bite fishe on butt
>>284588702and the episode felt like it was 5 minutes
hey anonsis depression really that much of a bitch? reading the manga has made me feel bad for both miko and shiori, dunno what I would if I ever had to deal with someone like hinako's irl
>>284589592>is depression really that much of a bitch?yesi have 0 motivationi feel like i'm in a constant state of being flat, i don't even feel bad or anything but i don't feel good either
>>284589592Yes. It's basically what >>284589637 says. Not sadness, but just complete apathy towards life. The manga is easily one of the best fictional portrayals of depression I've seen.
>>284589592I never cried when I was depressed, but Hinako's absolute lack of regard for the feelings of those who love her and want her to live on is 100% accurate. You genuinely do not care for their feelings even when you are fully aware that they exist because you're so wrapped up in your own mind. It's a situation where it's so easy to make things worse and so difficult to make things better.
>>284589637>>284589685well fuck, I hope to never deal with that, im pretty sure that I would be in constant angst if my special someone had depression, it would be hell for the two of us
>>284589637>>284589685>>284589846So how do you fix Hinako? And I mean actually fix her. Not throw meds at her and hope she doesn't grab a gun 10 years later.
>>284589846>It's a situation where it's so easy to make things worse and so difficult to make things better.so what the fuck are you even supposed to do?
>>284589954some things are unfixablebut as long as she has people who care for her she'll probably be "ok">>284589968>so what the fuck are you even supposed to do?see now why depression is such a bitch to deal with? it's a disease that takes you over and stops you fighting backyou continue being a creature that exists, not much else you can do
>>284576213Yes. Production was alright for what it was, but soundtrack was a real standout, and that's a good choice since atmosphere is critical to this story
>>284589592i've been severely depressed for as long as i can remember and yes, it really is that bad. it is completely life destroying. this series is a really good portrayal of it too
>>284588702Add crying and Fox being moe and that's every fucking episode. I don't know who this show is for other than people with incredibly short attention spans and teenagers thinking they're special for having suicidal thoughts.
girlfriends
>>284590527I like when Shiori plays with her hair
>>284590527>>284590579The Fishe was being very childish in this arc and I really enjoyed it.
>>284590579just imagine what else she can do with her fingers
I'm gonna say it: Shiori sings the ED better than Hinako
>>284590751the finale better have a duet version after a 22 minute long sloppy makeout session
>>284590751Well Shiori has to do something right for onceShe's constantly getting mogged by Miko
>>284590882>She's constantly getting mogged by MikoFurry paws typed this
>>284590751https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSQ7y43uOYAit really is true
getting hinako pregnant after giving her a whole bunch of orgasms
>>284590958>the most boring sex imaginable >creating a child that's doomed to be motherless by 13Why would you do this?
>>284591114Hinako should just try cuddling with fishe, that would quickly heal her depression.
Fishe is smelly.Fishe is a liar.Fishe will never fit into society.Fishe doesn't know what love is.Fishe brings bad luck.Fishe doesn't understand technology.Fishe is a glutton.Fishe thinks the best way to resolve issues is to kill someone.Fishe is garbage,
>>284591157Anon, I'm already a Fishefag, you don't need to sell her to me.
>>284591147It did honestly seem to be helping.
>>284591228It was probably the one time Fishe was being 100% honest and geniune with her back then and it made Hinako the happiest she's probably been in the manga.
>>284591578>it made Hinako the happiest she's probably been in the manga.On that topic, it's actually crazy how much Hinako has been smiling since chapter 48 after talking to Shiori on the beach again. It's pretty much every other panel.
>>284591721literally her moments before the ex showed up
Saw the ep and kinda of guessing it will be used next ep. There's no evidence of rain in the one from 29.The ABSOLUTE state of Hinako if she processed the bite as a sensual kiss>>284591721She and fishe had a good talk even if Fishe still can't get those feelings out, Hinako at least processed some of them and they certainly made her happy. >>284591922I noticed she was looking exceptionally cute these recent chapters.
>>284591721>>284591922Smiling Hinako is a miracle of the universe.
>>284589954Best you can do is put up some guardrails to keep her going along living and hope she gets better herself. In my case, there was nothing in particular, I just realized one day after the better part of a decade that I didn't think about killing myself every single day. Hinako is different because she has acute trauma so perhaps all she really needs is to realize that she has people (monsters) who love her just as much as her family did and time to let that sink in so she can accept that love. At the end of the day it's something that kind of needs to be sorted out on its own, it's only a matter of keeping Hinako safe enough to have the opportunity to reach that point.
>>284591328FOX HATE

>Tries to say that she's the one winning out because Hinako gets to have her wish granted of being eaten>Nevermind that Shiori will NEED to eat a happier Hinako and will have to live with itIs Fish aware that she just gave herself a terrible fucking deal or is she planning to not honor her promise?
>>284593259What if she eats her (sexually)
>>284593300It'd be very funny if that would count as a loophole to her vague pact
>>284593259Are you actually autistic? The whole point of the scene was that Shiori couldn't convince Hinako to live so in despair she had to bargain that she'd eat Hinako eventually because that was the only way to keep her from going suicidal.
>>284588026>Shori dies>will be reborn in 800 years>Hinako asks Erika for her meat>Live with Miko until Miko ascends to Godhood and leaves the mortal realm>Reunite with Shiori
I don't understand the story of this manga. Like, things happen but there is always a..lack of focus? I don't really know how to put, it's not slice of life but there is not real story arc as well
I really don't understand the "nothing happens and there's no story" complaints. There are pretty well defined story arcs, just not in the same way as the average shounen or sakugaslop. I can't help but wonder if people are getting filtered just because there's no epic action scenes or hype moments and aura to keep them entertained because they can't pay attention to a story.
>>284594263The story isn’t structured like a typical shounen manga with clear-cut story arcs, so gen alpha get confused
>>284593259>is she planning to not honor her promise?This isn't an option. Supposedly, youkai cannot go back on blood pacts. Some types cannot even dishonor basic promises, unless their existence is tied to breaking promises. It's something about them existing because of the human perception of them or whatnot.
>>284594691>youkai cannot go back on blood pactsBetting like two sharpodonty that pact loopholes exist
>>284594768NTA but Miko calls it a vague/undefined promise. It has to be honored, but at they end of the day it's up to them to define.
>>284594768Definitely. I'm betting on Shiori using one. I don't think she will sacrifice her existence for Hinako by not fulfilling the pact. There's no way Hinako wouldn't an hero afterwards if that happened.
>>284594894I just realized the bite on the lip could've also counted as honoring her promise
>>284594263>>284594666Indirect posting is cowardly. So is deflecting any form of criticism with buzzwords and template insults.
>>284594906I'm just kind of summerizing thematically>I'll devour all that you areThere's an emphasis on states of being. Does Hinako get devoured or does the Hinako of today, defined by trauma, cease to exist>the human must become its happiestHinako only ever attains ephemrsl happiness and dies or she finds a true reason to live and move forward (something she is struggling with currently)>I (the monster) meeting its despair meansEither Fishe returns to the sea forever alone or does she manage to crossover to the side of humanity, killing the hitodenashi within her (Fishe's arc is clearly about becoming learning to become "human")It's ultimately narrative meant to be subverted, but it's not looking for legalistic loopholes
>>284595117Damn, I was not proof reading this when I wrote it. Oh well.
>>284595117Honestly, the longer the story goes the clearer it looks like Shiori is the main protagonist. It seems to be about her learning human emotions by extreme circumstances/interactions. Maybe there's a message here about apathy and uncaringness being the opposite of what makes one human, making self-sacrifice a perfect ending, thematically. Although I hope that's not the case.
>>284595220
>>284595375The only time self-sacrifice is ever brought up is in the context of sacrificing your pride to be with the people you want to. Ultimately it's a story about bonds and living.
By the laws of immortals Shiori ad Azami will eventually body slam each other, so the child can borrow her for 80 to 90 years. No big deal.

holy fucking shit I HATGE SHIT FISH FISH FUCK U FISH
i keep tabbing out i dont undersatsand what this fucking fish wants to do, why is shitori so autingiustic HOLY SHITdid she really promise shell eat her again? what the fuckunless she means figuratively as in carpet munchingwhat the fuck am I watchingthis is so FUCKIUNG SHIT
whats the significance of drinking her blood again??? why does it matter holy sghit tgis is SO STUPIDwait wtf did she fucking tounge hernow we're talking bros
all this retarded shit again >uhhhr I promise I eat u UGHHH but first u get happyagain with this shithow fucking retarded
>this time shell eat me 4 reallmao what fucking garbage contrived plot
ok episode is over I can say fuck this retarded fish, I fuck miko and hinako should just kill herself for real fucking ABLOOO ABLOOOOBLOOOO I WANNA DIE retard holy shit.
Who gave the Tanuki a computer?
Saw a Japanese post summarize it well:The first time the promise to eat is based on deception and liesThe 2nd time the promise to eat is based on understanding and agreementThis is called character development
>>284597504but shes not gonna eat her, it's still a lie, fox even said it, its an uncertain promise.kys
>>284597542It is bound by magic, magic so strong it regenerated a little girl from near death before
>>284597595giving blood is not tied to promises or covenants, she's just giving it and that's itvows are spoken to be brokenfeelings are intense, words are trivialpleasures remain, so does the painwords are meaningless and forgettable
>>284597542NTA but it's uncertain as in vague, not that their is uncertainty she'd do it. >>284597504 is a good way to summarize it.
>>284597649yeah she committed to do it, but WHEN??? lol when she feels like it! LMAO
They keep grabbing each other by the chest this episode
>>284597673If it makes you feel better anon, you are correct: a narrative promise made at the little more than 50% mark of the story (and will probably end up being 40% when things are done) obviously has no intention of being delivered.
>Hinako if you kill yourself I am gonna kill myselfCheckmate
Just hire a therapist for your girlfriend, you dumb merdyke.
>>284598790this so much thisor just get to carpet munching
>>284598790Therapy is shamefur dispray
>>284594263>>284594666>I really don't understand the "nothing happens and there's no story" complaints.Retards these days don't even know what a story actually is anymore. If it's not a constant stream of shocks and cliffhangers and instead something slow that requires thought and ...paying attention, they don't get it.
>>284598790Fox should have spent less time pretending to be a highschooler and more time pretending to be a grief counselor
>>284595375Hinako is still clearly the protagonist because the events are primarily filtered through her perspective, and the main conflict is ultimately her versus depression. Shiori is, however, by far, the most dynamic character, both in terms of Hinako's perspective on her, but also Shiori's conscious and subconscious changes within herself.
anons i'm on ep 3. is the entire manga just a humiliation ritual for Miko? cause i'm starting to like this girl
>>284599085Watatabe is yuri for women. It recently got an article on Animage. Go watch yuri for men like Bad Girl, if it can even be called yuri
>>284599085After c29/e12 the story stops treating her like a cuck
>>284599121i need to endure then...
>>284599085Not really, she only gets more likable and earns more respect because she's the one who really has her shit together. She's the butt of all the Yaya jokes but she's strong and doesn't let herself get knocked down.
Foxe a perfect. Fishe a shit.
cute fox
>>284599085Being the only reason shit hasn't fall apart yet is a humiliation ritual?
>>284599914Miko fucking lost to a fish...
>>284599994>Being the only reason shit hasn't fall apart yetThat's literally fishe.>saves Hinako from the iso-onna>gives her a reason to live>goes all the way to make her life more fun and enjoyable>saves her from Ayame>even after shit goes wrong still saves her from suicide attemptMiko literally did nothing in present.
>>284600316And everything prior to that? Miko's doing.The reason fishe realized that lying won't work and brute force isn't always the answer? Miko's doing.
>>284600404>And everything prior to that?If you want to bring that up then Hinako would've died in that car crash without fishe.>The reason fishe realized that lying won't work and brute force isn't always the answer? Miko's doing.Did you, you know... watch the episode?
>>284600404Miko seems to be already too weak to protect Hinako when Azami first met Hinako. Looks like she and Erika got rid of a yokai sneaking on Hinako, and planted the hankerchief to lure Shiori out.
>>284599121>>284599141Ha!
Miko-chan is the Sun itself. She is 4 billion years old, masses nearly 2 nontillion kilograms, and with a radius of nearly 700 million meters, she is the most perfect sphere observed in nature. She radiates over 300 septillion joules of energy per second via nuclear fusion, primarily that of hydrogen and deuterium at a core temperature over 15 million degrees. Nearly 200 trillion watts of her light shines on planet Earth, and even at nighttime, traces relfect within the atmosphere in the dark. She is the fundamental source of energy for life. Her image is made into symbols of religion and culture throughout the world, including the namesake and flag of Nihon. Miko-chan is the Sun itself.
>>284594894Does she specifically say that somewhere, or just call it the word "vague"? If someone's specifically said they get to define what it means, I'm going all-in on the "Shiori-san, just like how the me you met at the beach died in the car accident, you completely devoured the despairing depressed version of myself you made the promise with" theory.
>>284601199It literally says that in the screenshot "Agreeing to such an undefined promised..." in relation to both Fishe and Hinako. Our wonderful E5thL translations translated it as "weird pledges". That's the reason they're focused on dialogue and trust because it's ultimate up to them to define it.
>>284601450Yes, but I'm asking if that's the only place you're getting that, and "it's up to them to define it" is your interpretation of what that one word means, or if someone in the story actually said somewhere that it's up to them to define it.
>>284601114So you're calling her fat.
>>284575938that's not how torture usually works!
>>284601584Miko-chan is not a black hole. She would need to be at least twice as massive to become one after depleting her fusion rate.

>>284593221ONE TWO SAN
Finally sat down and watched the episode. Really good. All the jump cuts during the not-kiss are leading me to believe we get it next week. Chapter 28 was structured to focus on the bite and Shiori's putting that monster mask back on. Next week is when we see her voice some of that anguish so I'm 70/30 they'll use it to confirm she's just a mermaiden in love with a monster.>>284602431The Twitter page specifically mentioned her in a Tweet, so I think she'll show up. I'm guessing 3. The VAs already said they had no plans for a 2nd season in an interview unfortunately.
>>284592022what is the "it" you are guessing will happen next episode?>>284602620We didn't see the kiss in the manga either, though
>>284602620Expected, but there is truly no justice in this world.
>>284602544Can someone shop slug fish mounting slug fox?
Shiori doesn't love her, she wants her possessively.
yaya fox
>>284603677She's learning, her fish braincell are just slow.
>>284603841>Minor spelling mistakeHeh, your loss dumb fox.
>>284603733Don't mind if I do!
>>284597504>understandinglol, people shouldnt speedread the manga
>No season two but we get a spin-off about the original story with low braincells fish and hinakoThere must be a Thanos quote for this feeling.
>>284597504Third time:>I was lying Hi-NA-KO. The pledge involves exchanging other fluids.>PLAP PLAP PLAP>It's done, next time I'll eat your real :D4th time:>I lied again, Hinako, the pledge actually involves a union of souls, like marriage>Thanks for the ring and ceremony, now i'll eat your for real, just wait :D
Moin.Miko is shit.Gute Nacht.
>>284605288Servus. Genau so.
>>284594263It's the story's rigid refusable to break from the status quo, even when things do occasionally happen we go straight back to the same 2 or 3 conversations and interactions that we've seen over and over again. Fish is evil but not really but she is but not really, fox is mad at her and trying to be ray of sunshine to MC, and the MC just cries and laments her dead family and wants to die so badly that she forgets there are ways of killing yourself outside of being eaten by a monster. A big part of it is the lack of secondary cast members, so the main three girls just end up repeating the same interactions because they have nobody else to talk to.>>284594666Embarrassing projection.
Fishe eating a happy Hinako would destroy her so badly, I actually want to see it happen just for the DRAMA
>>284605392>wants to die so badly that she forgets there are ways of killing yourself outside of being eaten by a monster.Maybe try it again, but this time on 2x speed instead of 5x.
>>284605392>that she forgets there are ways of killing yourself outside of being eaten by a monsterDid you just not watch these past 2 episodes
>>284605392Okay anon, perhaps you skipped the last episodes. But Fishu is never depicted as evil, it's just her nature, and seeing how this beast tries to become more "human" is actually pretty entertaining imo. I'd read a chapter where she takes a cat to a vet with Hinako. That's how fascinating the fish is, but to each her own I guess. You know who's boring? that faggot fox.
>>284605456>>284605444It took 10 episodes and 10 years of suffering for her to try drowning herself twice in her life.>>284605605Her nature is evil, Anon.
>>284605759Okay, I take it back. Maybe start slower, give it a go dropping it to 5x from 10x.
>>284605392To be fair, I was pretty disappointed when this point was reached during the manga, but in hindsight, at this point there's no real way to break the status quo that wouldn't be utterly contrived. The following arcs do start shaking up the status quo, but all of this was necessary beforehand.
Foxe is lawful good.Tanuki is chaotic faggot.Fishe is true fishe.
>>284605932What about 'nako?
>>284605605Incorrect. Foxe is the most entertaining when she's setting fishe's shit straight (gay). When she refutes fishe chalking foxe's humanity up to luck, when she points out how fishe always decides things on her own without regard for the other party, when she points out that fishe is the one who will suffer because of the promise, she's always spitting truth and guiding fishe along the path to humanity.
>>284605978Neutral evil.
Why doesn't she just erase the memories of her family's death?
>>284606092>why don't you turn the depressed girl into a schizophrenic
>>284606116she just had to rape herrape fixes everything
>>284606015Post a page where fox says "Sorry, children."
The VA did too good a job with Miko, she sounds WAY too cute.
>>284605793He's not wrong, perhaps you should heed your own advice and watch objectively, fanboy-kun.
bros whats next seasons gay animewatanare and watatabe were good back2back
>>284606269The yurifags consensus is hibernation until Kimishinu.
>>284606300Fake yurifag maybeRoll Over and Die airs next season
>>284606092Because that goes against what fishwoman wants to be.
>>284605288
>>284605759>It took 10 episodes and 10 years of suffering for her to try drowning herself twice in her life.Yeah, because she wanted to honor her family's dying wish, which she recently found out was just a big lie.Again, you didn't actually watch these past few episodes
>>284606230Actions speak louder than words. What good does apologizing to a tombstone do?
>>284589592can't speak from first hand depression experience but I got a schizophrenic, suicidally depressed sibling.You obviously want to support them but it's so emotionally draining, especially long term.It's so exhausting that I tried to avoid the whole situation more times than I'd like to admit.The cruel part is that sometimes you can't do anything to fix the underlying issue. Sometimes you can't even alleviate the acute problems.>dunno what I would [do?] if I ever had to deal with someone like hinako's irlTry to support them. Tell yourself it isn't so bad. Try avoid thinking about it too much, so you can deal with your own problems.Try to not not think about it enough and neglect them. Blame yourself for not supporting them more when you know you could. Feel awful.
>>284606422>How cute! now i'll prey on children in another way!She's truly a monster.
>>284606468>oh no le depressed people are SADGE!!! SADFAEC :(((I'd euthanize all depressed faggots tbqh
>>284606550kill yourself
>>284605804I think the manga is a lot easier to binge than do month to month.
>>284606766Bad meme
>>284606522You have it backwards. >>284581804
The unequal marriage (1862)
>>284606403nta but that makes sense, I genuinely missed that because the depressive crying in rain scenes made me glaze over, but it makes sense now.
This outfit is so sexy it's unrealI need foxekita's pussy lips wrapped around my cock
>>284606966This show definitely has a pacing issue, and a jarring obsession with tonal shifts when the fox shows up.
>>284607193The tonal shift is a feature, not a bug.
After all we said? after all we discussed? you honestly believed now that your family was abducted by aliens?!
Miko is as valuable as a summer ant.

What's with that NTR angle?
W-why are you smiling at me like that, Hinako?
>>284607999Miko is my precious my darling my lovely my girl

>>284588986Hinako is in deep depression stemming from her traumaThere is a different between>suicidal thoughtsHaving thoughts about suicide>suicidal tendenciesAttempting to put those thoughts into actions, even if in a light manor, such as walking to high places like building roofs and looking down or looking up youtube guides for making a noose>suicidal ideationNot actively wanting to commit suicide but being okay with dying via means outside of your own input
New tier from JPS: Suicidal ideation > grenade > monk
>>284609178>>284609238Miko is so pure, she sees all the clues leading to the fact that fishe sexually assaulted her yet does not link the dots together.
>>284608553But Shiori is the only reason Hinako hasn't died yet
>>284609825Not trueFoxe's love is keeping her grounded
>>284609825Before fish came into the picture, the two things keeping Hinako from offing herself were her family telling her to live and not wanting to make Miko sad. Then fish came along and ruined both of those because she's a dumb fish.
>>284609321Actually Watatabe remind me to Ayashi no Ceres, a shoujo from the 90s created by Yuu Watase (Fushigi Yugi). Maybe the author was a fan when she was a teenagerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0Kcc0H9iz0
Hinako can just pretend to be sad even when she's happy and then fish won't have to eat her.EZ
>>284611230>Hinako gets happy>Shiori has to eat her, which makes them both sad>Shiori no longer has to eat hergg
>>284610831I was just thinking about that the other dayStory is related to one of the mermaid legends (Ayashi no Ceres is based on the legends of a mortal stealing the clothes of a mystical being, which could be a mermaid or selkie depending on the culture), the female lead turns out to have met her love interest when she was six, and said love interest is an immortal that came into existence in the seaIf true, we better have some spicy sex scenes between Hinako and Shiori when they realize that they love each other
>>284611986Watatabe's author seems to be disgusted by lesbians despite she's working on a yuri manga. See the offscreen kiss.
This show nails depression so well that it's actively unfun to watch, it's as morose and boring as living with an actual depressed person.>>284612135Good, everyone hates lesbians, even other lesbians. Just keep the cute girls in ambiguously charged situations.
>>284576039Loved this scene, the voice acting and music created a great atmosphere. As always, this anime is just filled with good artistic choices, proving that budget is not everything.
>>284612135Next chapter after the kiss shows fish used her tongue.
>>284613226The cloudy sky's cleared up after Fishe made her feel like a woman
guys i'm worried about my foxi think coming home to shiori's kissmarks on hinako has awoken something in her
>>284613951Wingfox to the rescue
>>284613951It's called being a graceful loser. She cares about Hinako, so she's not going to try to sabotage her chance at happiness.
>>284613951Room service! oh my...
Also, Hinako looked even more pale than usual this episode, especially when they were at home. She's like a ghost, it's really well done>>284575877Images you can hear
>Making this pledge is killing me>tee hee It's killing you, huh?Ganbatte fish!
how do pledges work? cant they just overwrite the previous one? or maybe not overwriting but like just outright cancel it
>>284614561My uncle is a youkai, he says they can't cancel or overwrite it.
>>284614561Unironically don't worry about it. We know nothing about it except that it's hanging over the characters heads.
>>284614585your uncle needs to call a lawyer
>>284606269the sex android one
>>284614561>>284614590Saw someone saying the spinoff novel mentions breaking a pledge between yokai and human means complete destruction. Maybe it is supposed to be a Japanese folklore common knowledge?
>>284614619no that stuff is original
>>284576039Her crying face in this scene made me diamonds
>>284614619I wonder if Azami is pledged to Erika. It would give her a way to die and then drop that final reveal
>Hinako just never ends up asking Shiori to keep the promise, or even makes a new reverse-promise that she'll never ask her to keep the first one>Shiori is forced to keep the promise, but Hinako eats some of her flesh before she can kill her>but you already ate me, Shiori-san (metaphorically, about her depression)>but you already ate me, Shiori-san (metaphorically, about sex)>I'll sacrifice myself so you can live, Hinako!>no, I'LL sacrifice myself so YOU can live, Shiori-san!>*angry fox noises as she cuts off another two tails for the power to counteract the promise-curse backlash*>Breaking the promise means that Shiori will die! ...eventually. After a hundred years or so, maybe. Remind me, how long is a human life if they get regular mermaid blood infusions and also various other mermaid fluids?>Shiori-san is gone forever... Nobody except me even remembers her, not even Miko-chan... But this time, I WILL be strong and live on with her memory, because I'm the only one who can!>"Welcome our new transfer student, Shiori Oumi!">Breaking the promise would turn me to sea foam and kill me forever, the only way to truly kill a mermaid? Did I say that? Well, we youkai are liars who deceive humans, after all!>rimshot, cymbal crash, laugh track, freeze frame as credits start playing
>>284614619Oh now I'm completely on team Hinako's eating the McMermaid and Fishe is eating the scars
>>284614679Does it work when you are a human? If only yokai blood is magical then a pledge can only be made by a yokai to a human. If a human breaks a contract, the yokai doesn't need any extra mechanism to collect such due, since they are way more powerful and can do what they want to the human themselves.
>>284614805You forgot>Hinako, at 90 years old: I guess you can eat me now, Shiori-san *EKG flatlines*>Miko, quick, turn me into red paste so I am rendered physically unable to eat Hinako for several decades
>>284614861ever since anons suggested that Erika is also a fish, I am on team Hinako eating Erika for Shiori's sake
>>284614946But on the other hand, if you can make promises with human blood, or at least with human-substantially-affected-by-mermaid-biology blood, the fact that Shiori also drank Hinako's blood as just a prank bro no homo during the pledge might end up coming back and being pretty signficant in some way.
>>284615002Like this one? >>284593548 It's a really good concept and goes well with our apparent ShioHina insert song
Actually come to think of it, does Shiori even properly understand how "Hinako can't smile at me like she used to" and "Hinako wants me to kill her" are linked? Are we going to get a chapter where she's all>hey, Miko, Hinako told me that she finally thinks she's finding new reasons to live and is moving forwards instead of looking back, so I told her it looks like I'll have to eat her soon then and then she got all quiet and sad again! I even pretended to be all lighthearted and uncaring about it like she always used to like, even though I'd actually rather die! What did I do wrong?
>>284615220Miko sounds like a babysitter here
>>284615239Miko is a babysitter.
>>284615220This is all but certain to be a maximum suffering arc for Fish, so it's bound to pop up.
>sweet fucking Inari-sama, what on earth did I do wrong to deserve having to deal with these two?>oh yeah, eating all those toddlers
someone need to get eaten
>>284615477Bratty Hinako got fishe correction.
>死にたがりの彼女は海を待つThe episode 1/chapter 1 title is fucking legendary
>>284615495Yeah, the stupid faggot tanuki.
>>284615495If anyone, probably Azami when she realizes "wait, if it's possible for the fish not to be a monster, that means that me turning into a monster wasn't just because she gave me her flesh, it was because I chose to".
>>284615956somehow it reads really funny when such posts are translatedI suppose it is the deadpan seriousness of it
>>284615681>that means that me turning into a monster wasn't just because she gave me her flesh, it was because I chose toTo be fair to Azami, the entire "my parents abandoned my to be eaten by the monster except I ended up growing up with the monster instead" was a big contributing factor too
>Fishe will eat Azami>Hinako will eat ErikaImagine your ex and her gf literally eating you and your new gf
I agree with Shiori that Azami should get to live She is still not there yet and hopefully she gets to live happily
>>284616084who will Miko eat?
>>284616158I'm hoping she'll be the mother-wife to Erika that Fishe never could for her
>>284616178More toddlers.

The promise could work like being put under a geas. You're free to decide when and how to go about your quest, but the longer you spend not actively it, the more you'll wither and waste away.
