Episode 4: Lara goes to school and meets another princess
Lara steals her plushies
God hates Lara
>>289678064who drew this?
>>289678064How will she take revenge on Lara?
Prince when?
HOOOOOLD
>>289678064love this show
What does Lara see in her?
>>289678135This is a dark-skinned woman
>>289678135She is more masculine than the prince that's for sure
>>289678135Her pussy smells like fish
>>289678135>tomboy abs... eroticSomething like that.
Lara's skills are going to be wasted at the bakery
>>289678154She's too short to be a prince.
>>289678121Wait so does this female angler fish transform into a human boy or does the infatuation with tomboys just run in the family?
>>289678135
>>289678135Cute, brown, capable of domestic violence.
>>289678119official end card
>>289678250...by who
Literally me.
Tell me about Princess. Why does she wear the mask?
>>289678299His mom's death made him this way, right?
>>289678303Was getting rejected part of her plan?
>>289678303Does anyone know her VA?
I'll come find you soon, anon.
>>289678064What bullshit did this yuribait fuck ever do to get another thread already?
>>289671572Are you retarded? The anime is obviously about Lara learning more about humans and boxing is part of Mari's life. Is media literacy dead or is /a/ lower iq than it used to be?
>>289678270谷紫織
I'm guessing the sister still blames Lara for everything that happened
>>289678367To be my princess?
I like it, but I haven't been impressed by the storytelling. Ep 1 is a speedrun of the Little Mermaid, still good and perfectly fine for setting up the story. Ep 2 is great but then ep 3 feels like a speedrun of Mari's backstory, it dumps a bunch of flashbacks and inner monologues and I don't feel there was a good reason for Mari to be thinking about the past that much. Then Ep 4 was a speedrun of childhood friend/fated love loses, it seems inconsequential when it already seems like Lara might already learn this herself later. The show is rapid-firing with the "prince" and "true love" when I think those ideas were already properly planted and could have been explored better through character moments.
>>289678122>4 episodes>no sight of the princeThe prince is a metaphor.
>>289678135>cute athletic tomboyIt's a mystery.
>>289678514The prince never appearing will become a running gag.
>>289678339https://myanimelist.net/people/48351/Mizuha_KuraokaHuh, did not expect a 22/7 member there
>>289678498It's only got 12 episodes, if anything I think the storytelling strikes a good balance between enough for impact and fast enough to not waste time. Episode 3 is clearly just to establish the foundation of why Mari likes Lara (very important), and episode 4 IS Lara learning about how some relationships are doomed no matter what so the show can get moving onto more important things. Spending too much time on things like dripfeeding Mari's backstory or Lara slowly learning "fate is bad" is stupid when the story obviously has more places it wants to go.
>>289678456あざます
>>289678566Thank you!
>>289678101Lara needs to steal Mari's hoddie to make it official.
>>289678339Riko Kuramaru formerly know as Mizuha Kuraoka.
>>289678498Anime originals follow different rules than manga adaptations. At least that's the mindset that I come in.
>>289678633Why the name change
Someone pointed out that Mari is watching tv with Lara right after banning her from it.
>>28967858812 episodes? I thought it was going to be 24. I need more of Lara to keep going.
>OP by Ikimonogakari
>>289678457Is she wrong?
>>289678680Nta. You know what, I'm also curious about this and read a bit more about 22/7. Turns out most (all?) of the members changed their names after graduation?
cute dog
>>289678498I think they're doing a good job with how much content they need to explore while sprinkling the magic of character/relationship growth in each episode. No wheels are left spinning, they always have some sort of purpose and its great for rewatching.
>>289678588Since it is only 12 episodes I think the story should be tighter. I have a suspicion that Hime will be a throwaway character and we still have to deal with things like the incredibly ominous sister.
>>289678715She should blame the witch and her idiot father for putting his impressionable daughter in a cell with her.
>>289678774Obviously Hime is a throwaway character. The main protags are Lara and Mari, the important plot devices are Luca, Lisa, and Grace, while the rest are just side characters.
>>289678701She's the type to get whipped for her gf for sure
you WILL buy an iphone
How do you think will it end for Lara? I would say it's a given that she gets her family back one way or another, but what after that? Will she stay in the human world away from her family, or will Mari have to do a title drop?
>>289678794To be fair the witch broke in. Still could've had better security admittedly
>>289678840iPhone fold.
>>289678858Did she? I only remember her breaking out. I'll have to rewatch later.
Is this good protein for boxers?
>>289678855im thinking it'll be a bittersweet tragic ending. just a hunch though
>>289678774It seems like the pattern is "Lara meets new character that teaches her about what is love" and it will end up with her falling for Mari
>>289678855I have a meta theory that Sayonara Lara will refer to us, the audience, saying goodbye to her as the show ends. She bonds with all humans, she bonds with us... you know? Might be a copout for tragedyfags but I wouldn't mind it.
Why would you encourage your daughter to do boxing? At least have her do a less CTE martial arts like Judo or BJJ.
>>289678858Rude they kept her in a cell at all. If they wanted to prevent her from leaving the palace they just had to assign her a guard.
>>289678915There are some things that kids are drawn to because they have a talent for it. In that case you should just let them do it.
>>289678855She'll probably fall for Mary and learn what true love is, but she'll have to leave in the end for the "sayonara" part.
>>289678885Cute
>>289678946Her talent was fighting, even MMA is way less CTE inducing than boxing.
I really like the OP
>>289678855Lara will marry Mari and they will have beautiful half-mermaid kids. And there will be cakes for everybody!
Deadfish
>>289678885I wonder how much it'd sell for, royal mermaid caviar
>>289679052>half-mermaid kidsMermaid is already half fish half human so how would that work? A quarter fish human?
>>289678774I think it's already tight enough just not as tight as Mari.
>>289679092It will be a regular human that can swim very well and has those weird ears Lara has
>>289679092innsmuth
>>289679092Fish heads.
>>289679092Doesn't matter as long as they are good citizens
>第4話に、米原ひめか役で出演させていただきました！>滋賀県出身の私にとって、地元が舞台の作品に出演できたことは、本当に特別で、とても嬉しかったです。This Shiga prefecture blatant bankrolling is wild won't someone put a stop to it
>>289679210Imagine if they made an anime about your city and you played one of the characters, wouldn't you be proud or excited?
>>289679286No because I hate my city and its widely known for having ugly girls.
>>289679303At least it has cute anons.
Handsome and ripped with eyes of a beast
>>289679357This is a dark-skinned woman
I don't understand Lara behavior when she already had a life changing experience at the surface, is almost as if it never happened, or did I miss the part where they said she has amnesia?
Marispreading
>>289679416she's in a different country and not in the 1800s so it's even more alienhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZa82Xz1nys
>>289679453If anybody needed a proof, there it is, Mari is the prince.
>>289679377...with the eyes of a beast
>>289679453Not a flattering pose for Hime
>>289678064I think Lara is bi
>>289679458Cap was still aware that the benis goes inside the vegana.
>>289679643I think you are bi
Chance for Hime to turn gay?
>>289679686Hime is done until the final episode where Lala does a genkidama using the energy of everyone she interacted with throughout the show to protect Shiga from the fish knife.
>>289679686Side characters aren't allowed to have sexualities
How to train your mermaid.
>>289679826I like that Lara didn't snitch on Mari's brother.
>>289679453A grizzled, punch-drunk boxing champion stuck in the body of a small Japanese girl.
>>289678367Sometimes I fantasize about Lisa coming home drunk and beating me until I feel numb. She kicks me in the ribs until I can hardly breathe. Then she starts to cry and apologizes, begging me to forgive her. She holds me all night as I gently cry into her t-shirt.
Preview doko?
>>289679926Tomorrow
>>289678239funny seeing my drawing. I want mari to win an epic battle with a tough opponent and I'll draw her posing like muhammed ali
>>289680094Can you draw Lara kissing her feet?
CFbros... why do we keep losing...?
>>289680113no
>>289678400The other two threads didn't count, this is the real one for people who want to talk about the new episode.
Comfy.
>>289680165At least Lara putting her finger inside Mari's belly button...
>>289680094Your drawing's super good, please focus on her abs instead of her feet thnks
Mari's smelly feet... Just like my yuri...
There's some theories that this true love is gonna be the Christianity themed kind. What with Mari = Mary and her brother Yoshiya = yehoshua = Jesus. It was God's love all along....
>>289680287Does God approve of yuri?
>>289680298Yuri is God's salvation.
>>289678239>>289680094you made Mari look cool. I wish she looked like that in the show.
>>289680298God IS yuri.
>>289679841She was gonna dip regardless of him being there.
>>289680332Explains why the yuri debate continues to this day.
>>289678915Fock no. Non-contact sports only. Contact sports are for faggots.
>>289679686Lowkey wouldn't mind. She's way cuter than Mari.
>>289680420But what if your daughter is an actual faggot?
>>289678064I hope all anons understand the extremely complex message of this episode today
>>289680470MMA
>>289680548No, I will keep wondering if Lara's true love is platonic friendship.
>>289680428no one is cuter than mari
>it have the dagger formwtf, what that means?
Lisa being so vague about this makes me think it's something more than her being assmad about Lara being a part of the cause that destroyed the kingdom
>>289681011secret fish people
>>289681092She was blaming the witch this episode, so I don't think she's mad at LaraIt's probably going to be something like having to sacrifice Lara to save the mermaid civilization
>>289681092I really hope we finally delve into the mermaid lore next ep, I need to know what's going on. The only side characters left are the bakers and Luca's little sis, so we should be able to afford to skip learning about love from normies next week.
Everything in this show is such a labor of love its crazyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A062cCxs0p0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXUWiL8mY1ghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cDUUhe2W6c
>>289680428Don't you ever dare say that again!
>>289681190The anons on /a/ do need to learn about love
Foreshadowing for Lara becoming a boxing champion.
>>289681198True, but I think Lara can afford to take a little break
>>289681212Imagine if the cold open was actually fake.
>>289681235Mari is wearing the medal and holding the cup but it was Lara who won them.
>>289681212>hates boxing just as much as she hated being in the ocean
She already found true love.
>>289680229ok for you>>289680237>>289680318thanks yo
>>289681420>anon deliveredThank you so much. How scrumptious.
>>289681420HOLY BASEDGreat drawing anon
>>289681212
>>289681420I fucking kneel anon, it's great
>>289681420Great job anon thanks...Is it sweaty?
why the fuck is Lara watching anime for children?? she should be researching ptube or OF for some alpha chads to call.. that's where she'll find her prince
>>289681420Not yuri, she just doesn't know what a belly button is.
>>289681420Tomboy belly... thanks for the food drawanon
>>289681420Based.
>>289679453Lara likes butts
>>289681420thank you very much
>in the casket with an iv poleI just know this actually happened in some telenovela
>>289681420You're pretty great anon
>>289681420her belly button must be stinky as fuck from all the sweats and germs and dead skin cells
I think the title Sayonara Lara will end up referring to Lara saying goodbye to her former self who believed a prince was necessary for true love now whether they actually go full yuri with Mari who knows
>>289678135Manly
>>289678135wife material
Ohayo Lara
>>289682034She would have been named Yoyo in this case.
>>289681420Based
>>289681956I like this take.
>>289682682Lara is so lucky
>>289682700Indeed
>>289682706I guess Lara having a thing for Mari's abs is already accepted fanon, like Suletta with Miorine's legs.
>>289682724Isn’t the leg thing kinda text? She’s been staring
>>289682724Does Mari canonically even have visible abs? I don't think we have seen them yet
>>289682825Even if she gets drawn with zero muscle definition I'll just pretend that it's there considering her character.
>>289682882Yes i agree, she must be ripped or at the very least visibly toned
>>289682882Mari must be thrilled to return to her club activities next ep.
Mari likes fresh oysterit's a parallel to lara's vagina?so it's confirmed yuri right?
so what does the honking mean? does it mean the sisters wants to smash her clam?
>>289683108Obviously, didn't you hear Mari literally describing herself when talking about what a prince looks like.
>>289681924Do you not clean your belly button or something?
>>289683317It’s self cleaning
>>289683150Probably upset that she decided to turn human again even after what happened last time. She seemed fine when the sword in the sky was activated last ep, but the moment she heard about legs and saw her, she must have figured out that a human was the one who activated the True Love magic and not her. I mean her last line last ep was "find US, find your true love.
>>289683429Honestly what was she even supposed to do at that point? Stay a mermaid and live in the lifeless sea?
>>289683429Cucked by a womanlet. She will never live this down.
>>289683442slam clams with real clams?
>>289683482She's for sure picking up a vibe from them. Started laughing the moment she noticed Mari was just talking shit and hiding the fact she wanted Lara to stop being all sad and gloomy in this scene.
>>289683504She will take her to the deepest ocean and drown her.
>>289683442I'm sure there are other fish in the sea.
>>289683150She had a stroke and her head hit the horn.
BUT DO FISHE SLAM CLAMME??????
>>289683741Tuskfish love slamming clams against rocks
>>289683800what about sea otters?
>>289683813>sea otters>fishe
I wish yuri was more than just the subtextI WANT it to be FISHY and SMELLY and on the NOSE FUCK
>>289683868But fishes don't have noses
>>289683957GILLS then
with watanare we thought we had it goodthen came watatabe and you could feel the downgradebut here? not a hint of gayness>inb4 woah u didnt see the water explosion!?!?!?its BAIT
>>289683651Good thing Mari's full of muscles so she can sink faster.
>>289683868I was tricked into believing that Watatabe was going to have some nasty lovemaking scenes
>>289683987>not a hint of gayness
>>289684022same, instead it's muh survivors guilt with a stupid crybaby, really fucking annoying
>>289684056dude is really going all smug "here look at my bottom"
>>289683987>not a hint of gayness>water orgasm wasn't gay
>>289684196>anon sees his 1st baithibiki cucks are something else
>>289684271Are you retarded? I watched hibikek when it came out and it wans't even near as gay as this one
>Lara doesn't know anywhere else besides school where so many humans gatherhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mJAsgIIfNM
Beach/swimsuit episode when?
Lisa will attempt to stab Mari in the chest but Mari's cross will deflect the knife, it will be symbolic and kino.
Don't ask how.
>>289684610We're all adults here, we know how kids are made.
>>289684698but we don't know how marmeids make kids
>>289684610will the babby mermaid possess The Light™ as seen in the hitseries "Sayonara Lara (2026)" and start the doomed cycle all over again?
>>289684768Merfolks really need to get rid of that shit, you can't have your whole civilization resting on something so fickle.
>>289684610Cute iPS kids.
>>289684610I raped both of them
>>289685022That's not very nice
>>289685069neither is the garbage art you posted just now
Sniffing Mari's ass crack immediately after she finishes training.
>>289685022Why did you do it, Lisa?
>>289685088There's no need to be so hostile, Anon
>>289682682Lara could do so much better than Mari...
>>289685088Looks cute to me
>>289685227looks like an offmodel obese shitty copyget your eyes checked retard
>>289685255>offmodelThere's no contractual obligation for fanart to be 1:1 with official art.
>>289683504It's just ogre for her. Might as well dye her hair now and troon out.
>>289685333learn how to draw loser
>>289678064Damn, I know this is girl drama, but I can't help feeling a little sorry for her. FUG :D
>>289685345cry me a river
>>289685334Kek. Would be an interesting twist if it's revealed he's a fake and the little sister is just the angler fish.
>he got a boner
brown girls
sexo
KEKED
>>289679686I briefly thought what if she gets a crush on Lara since Lara was so nice to her, but making her new crush also end up with someone else would be too cruel.
Any futa Mari deep diving in Lara fanart yet?
Someone on x made a video showing all the yuri hints until now lol https://x.com/himejoshiful/status/2081727629472739781
>>289686733and then the director pulls a hibike100%
>>289686762I would be so mad if he did that
Dance episode when?
>>289684610Mari's futacock is powerful
>>289687471Actually, it's fishe that can grow that under some circumstances, anon.
why is she like this
>>289688665Not her fault the local mermaid isn't behaving
>>289684610Mari's genes are strong.
So what is an answer that only those of us living today can give?
>>289689162throuple
>>289689201Who joins, Grace or Lisa?
>>289689162He says so much, but says nothing at all...
Reminder we are dangerously close to Luca going from character to plot device with already four episodes out
>>289689309Just wait until Mari and Lara fight for Luca
>>289689309He will only appear in the secong half of the anime
>>289689586fight against Luca*
>>289689309If he doesn't appear by the sixth he's absolutely just a plot device
it's confirmed yuri thoughbeit
is this yuri or not?
>>289689723>>289689770It's friendship
>>289689688You know nothing about women or mermaids. Having Mari and Lara being in love with Luca is classic shoujo drama
>>289689770Of course it is. Andersen was already a faggot so this only makes sense.
>>289689930It's common for fags to hate lesbians. Just saiyan
I'm only on episode 2 but I'm investing in straightstock early this shit will not be gay.Or it'll go the frozen ending and reveal the true love was love for her family
>>289690064Japan fucking loves Frozen
>>289683987You're forgetting about the least gay of the bunch, Watayuri. The worst of the Watatrilogy.
I can't watch new episode, the second hand embarrassment is too much
>FRESH FISH>FRESH MEATI'm not a schizo! The similarities are everywhere!
>>289691986sorry xis but Lara is a certified hetkino
Fuck Lara
>>289688665No boxing practice=grumpy
Is this the thread?
>>289692849Mari is trying to
the >でも...>*beeeeeep*made me laugh
How do you respond without sounding mad
>>289693189I just ignore her and keep looking at the screen.This is what I do every day.
>>289680072Ok, it's tomorrow. Where is the preview now?
>>289693297Still ten hours.
>>289692999What is this expression trying to convey?
>>289693389>oh fuck i will NEVER be able to get married now
>>289693473fish juice is that good?
>>289693563yeah
>>289678244These are the alpha lesbian traits, I've watched enough cop videos to know that lesbians are really into domestic violence.
>>289693563Like a fresh oyster. And her ovulation is just caviar...
>>289688665powerful
>>289678121Is Lisa Anglerfish's true love?>>289678224I didn't know that only females had the light lure. But perhaps in this case it has no meaning.
>>289693761Mari's boxing helmet takes over Lara's brain and turns her into another Mari...
>>289685606> Has 10/10 childhood friend > Picks this over her. He choose poorly.
>>289693860The childhood friend was a 4/10 at best.
>>289693860New girl is cuter
>>289691578It's that oldschool fish-out-of-water cringe. I'm fine with it because there's nothing mean-spirited about it.
May 14th, a.k.a....
>>289694204... the day Hikari transfers in and of the first audition.
>>289693678It's actually female psyche. Women know this. This is why Mari punched her immediately. It's like imprinting. Lara is addicted to Mari like a honing missile.
>>289688665The fish got out again
>>289694204my birthday
Why does Mari like fishe?
>>289695392Omega 3 is good for the brain and Mari really needs it before boxing makes her retarded.
>>289681092I'm thinking that whatever happened after Lara died was actually her fault and she made some other bargain with the witch. Or maybe even whatever happened to Lara was her doing because she was seething about Lara being the "special" princess.
Mari is so cool. How do I become like her bros?>wake up early and go for a run every morning >take up boxing What else? No I don’t have a mermaid friend-soon-lover
>>289678064>Hime meets Lara>Is cucked moments laterIs Lara cursed? She brings misfortune wherever she goes.
>>289688665Stupid mermaid won't follow basic instructions.
>>289695857I can't blame Lara, I would fall for Mari too
>>289678855Serious prediction is Lara finds her true love (something more like a true love for humanity) and it causes her kingdom to come back to life. The bittersweet part of the ending is that she and Mari will have actual feelings for each other but must live apart since Lara needs to return to the ocean (it was make the anime title relevant). The execution will not be straightforward though, if the giant fish pillar thing that only the mermaids can see is an indication.
>>289696272Hime was cucked from the very beginning
>>289679053pillow princess?
>>289679357Mari was saying the kind of man she finds attractive
>>289696896She's a narcissist?
>>289696733Are you asking what the term means? A girl who's completely passive in bed.
>>289696969As they should be.If you let a woman ride you then you're a cuck
>>289696922Maybe but also there's a chance Mari doesn't see herself like that
Why is Lisa onee-chan so angery?
>Lara watching Nipflix again>Lara searches for mermaid love story>Lara watches Watatabe
>>289697122Imagine if your little sister set the house on fire, killing your entire family.
>>289697396She didn't do that though.If some nigger faggot prince doesn't like my sister's tail, and because of this the entire kingdom dies, I'm not blaming my imouto.
Translate it weebs
How many more hours till the PV drops?
>>289697122She's a siscon.
The big brother trying to fuck Lara was so creepy.
>>289683718Ha! I was right.
Is it gonna be like this every ep?
>>289695392She likes stupid characters, she said that in the big scene in some previous episode.
>>289698358It's ok he's too much of a loser to do anything

>>289698843She'll be accepted when she finally signs up for the HOP card
>>289698691>>289698733Thanks anon>that videoHoly KINO
>>289698928She did use Mari's card in the latest episode so she's getting there.
>>289698691>2005 was 21 years ago>Mari wasn't born thenWhy do you do this, anon?
>>289678588>Episode 3 is clearly just to establish the foundation of why Mari likes LaraWhy does she?
>>289698843That’s what a spouse visa is for
>>289699271She's the coolest!
>>289699426That doesn't do anything to explain why the tsunboxer likes the fish.
>>289699271Lara is cute, nice, and stupid enough to accidentally fix Mari's dead mommy issues
>>289699494Ops read that wrong. But I'm guessing she just finds her endearing. She did say she likes dumb and funny people. Maybe she's into comedy.
>>289678303It's usually for fashion if they're not sick
>>289699271She'll make a great wife/mom in the future. She's trained her well in these 3 weeks. All that's left is her bakery job so she can get experience in cooking.
>>289679092Why are you questioning that and not how two girls can have kids together?
>>289699847It's one girl and one fish actually
>>289679841I think she was too stupid to figure that out
Is working in a bakery some yuri meme like aquarium dates?Why does this dude keep bringing it up?
>>289699956Well, it's in the OP.
>>289680139
>>289699956>>289699974Did you really expect them not to have an episode about Lara learning how to bake glorious Shiga baumkuchen
>>289691986Shinji Aoba? What are you doing here?
>>289698691For a slip second I thought I was looking at Xavier.
its my fav show this season. The directing just has that particular intelligent "flow" that guides your attention perfectly and visually pleasing.
>>289697075A submissive girl in bed doesn't necessarily mean a passive girl in bed
Do the humans not notice anything weird about Lara's ears?
>>289697075>If you let a woman ride you then you're a cuckspoken like a true virgin
>>289700335They probably think she's a boxer like Mari.
>>289700439>everything was a boxing reference all alongTrue love... is getting punched in the face?
>>289678701It would've been funny to see Lara watch Prince of Tennis as part of her romantic drama binge. It's not even completely irrelevant since some adaptations lean pretty hard into Ryoma x Sakuno shipping.
>>289699271>Why does someone like cute athletic tomboyGee it sure is a mystery
They're gonna pull a Turkey. Romance anime? No. Boxing anime. Next 8 episodes will be about Mari's journey to win the Shiga prefecture boxing tournament while Lara watches boxing documentaries on Netflix and tries to act as her coach.
>>289701100>Next 8 episodes will be about Mari's journey to win the Shiga prefecture boxing tournament while Lara watches boxing documentaries on Netflix and tries to act as her coach.Sounds perfect
>>289701100This would unironically make it AOTS
>>289701100I hope Lisa meets her in the ring
>>289701222Final boss is Mari's mom.
>>289701100Turkey was nothing like that though, it became episodic melodrama for the most part.A thorough waste of the setting and premise.
Erm, actually it's Türkiye.
>>289678303No one cared who she was until she put on the mask
>>289701100>>289701353
>>289702723The fish at the park are free. You can just take them home. Mari has 2 fishe
>>289699079What? No. 2005 was just a couple years ago.No. Don't do this to me, anon...
>>289700595Where's that chart for yuri and domestic violence?
>>289703112Most of those titles aren't yuri
>>289699998This writer know shit about shoujo manga. The childhood friend often fills the role of the nice guy so he's friendzoned hard for the FeMC
>>289703200Only shit mangaka need to have the childhood friend fail to prop up the main character. Better yet have the main character be the childhood friend.
>>289703324title?
>>289703465The second story section of Tokimeki Tonight. The main girl is the childhood friend.
>>289699271Mari was getting too inside her own head with the boxing match and became too abrasive and self-absorbed. Lara reminded her about her mom's support when she brought Mari the cross pendant, then when Lara herself came to "defend" her and snap her out of her distraction. Mari wants to boxe to look cool and needs someone to support her and to look cool for.
>>289699847I think in a story where there's a mermaid princess and magic and resurrection and a mystical light formed from love - there's possibility.
>>289699847True love mermaid magic
part time job episode
>>289703200Wrong
>>289704678
>>289704693
>>289704701
>>289704711
>>289704726
Lewd fish!
>>289704735
>>289703200Also, Heroine Tarumono literally has a shoujo manga adaptation so I think they have the qualifications to make that claim
>still no LucaLOLE
>>289704814Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes...
>>289704814Will only show up in the last 2 episodes to create drama
>>28969332210 hours have passed.
>>289704814Probably will only appear on episode 7 lol
>>289704861They posted the first PV pic >>289704635 The rest and the PV trailer are in an hour and a half.
>>289704954Stop edging me.
>episode 12>Luca finally makes his debut accompanying his little sister who plays the flower girl at Lara and Mari's wedding
>>289683482lmao
>>289684610We've seen the mermaids come from shells.
>>289704711damn I need to watch the last season of this
Episode 5 PV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV81h1bvARo
>>289678915>At least have her do a less CTE martial arts like Judo or BJJ.I don't know if I can go down the daughter doing BJJ route. I don't understand the sport and I get turned on when I see girls doing it. Can you blame me? They're rolling around on the floor with their bodies interlocked. I watched a video of a girls BJJ match and it looked like to me that they just grabbed each other's feet and kept bending and twisting them until one of them submitted.
>Lara, it's time to stop lazing around and get a jerb
>>289705968And the preview pics.>Mari's grandma has had enough of Lara's freeloading bullshit and puts her to worklol>Mari is roped into working tooCute.
>>289705968>Ootsu LalaThey're married now.
>>289705968>entire episode is Lara taking Mari to make a cake because she likes it when Mari is happily eating cakesuuuuuuuuuuuu it's so cuteAlso >>289704814lmao he really is still not here
We're episodes in and Luca is still not here
>>289706017Do you think Lisa is going to be watching forlornly as Lara bakes like a happy retard
>Mari embarrassed because Lara saw her blissful face while eating chocolate cakeWell done Lara, this is how you handle tomboys.
>>289706046goodhet BTFO
>>289705968>Lara talking about the happy face that Mari did when they ate cake the last time, how she never saw Mari making that face before with a happy voice>Mari got embarassed and said her to stop saying that>Lara probably chose this job to make cakes to see that happy face from Mari againLara is a good wife
>>289706046If he doesn't appear by the sixth he's going to be entirely absent from the first BD volume
>>289706014>two old hags judging her in the same frame
>>289705968Oh.
>>289706069>can I maybe hope for some hot young guys at the bakery? >nah this totally is a lost cause, just like everything else this past month
>>289706054Good
The colors are so good in this show. Strong but in such a tasteful way.
Lara but 00s shoujo
>>289706141Make the eyes BIGGER
Mari gap moe. More, please more scenes of that.
>>289706173It feels like the episode is bound to end with Mari eating a cake made by Lara and giving her a big smile, like the reverse of last episode's ending.
>wasting her time fucking around with Marium... that's not very efficient...
>>289706187She's learning to cook for her future wife.
>>289706185She will get a love reaction from the smile Mari will make to her
I thought the thing under Lara's feet was just part of Mari's bedsheet but no, you can see that's a darker green and Lara is sitting on Mari's bed. It's actually Mari's plush that she stole. What the hell Lara.
How's baking going to help Lara find true love exactly?
>>289706334Who wants a wife that can't cook?
>>289706334The way to a man's heart is through his stomach.
Look at her cute shitty handwriting.
>>289706334She wants to make the one she loves happy
>>289706361How did Lara learn Japanese again?
>>289706371yuri magic
>>289706371Grace broadcast a learning tape while Lara was asleep in her shell like that one episode of Dexter's Lab with omelette du fromage.
>>289706361Mari's handwriting is so neat in comparison
>>289706412even her x is gay
>>289706412That's highschool level math? I once helped my cousin with same problems and he's in school.
>>289706361Who the heck would even hire her?
>>289706443Me.
>>289706443I would
>>289706425Where i'm from, no adults would remember how to solve that shit i'm one of them
>>289706361Can't tell what it says for academic background/work history.
>>289706513nashi
>>289706017>95% of the episode is Lara being a carefree retard>last thirty seconds is Lisa broodingRepeat until episode 11.
What's gonna happen if it's not yuri?
>>289706523will lara manifest a futa cock and finally fix her sister?
No Lara, we're not making fish cakes in this bakery.
>obsessed boxer would rather accompany her fishNot even in uniform. Just there for moral support.
>>289678064Is this anime good or is it all style with no substance?
>>289706525Yuri is such a broad term that even if it's not yuri, it's yuri. The real question is whether they'll kiss and be gay.
>>289706554She's wearing an apron, she can still help.
>>289706570It's pretty good and gay
>>289706525I'll rewrite reality to make it yuri.
>>289706361For someone who's learned all that in what, a month? It's not bad.
>>289706525>Luca is gonna appear in the second half>At first Lara is convinced that Luca is her prince and that her true love with him will bring her family back>Nothing happens and Lara realizes that Mari is her real true love>Family is back but Lara chooses to live with Mari instead, saying Goodbye to her family>Despite all of this the director will say in an interview that it's up to interpretation and her true love is familial love
>>289706628it can't be up to interpretation because it's been already said the true love is romantic
>>289706628>he thinks Luca is going to appearLuca was in our hearts all along.
>>289706652It's gonna be some bullshit like "true love is purer than romance" or some other shit
>>289706628I think it's going to be different. Lara fails to get a relationship with Luca. She's had doomed her family and goes back to the ocean to die with them. And then Mari brings her back and says she's her family now and that's how she finds true love and saves her family.
>>289706663>director said he was going to take things in a more cynical, realistic routedoubt
>>289706554This will also be an important episode for Mari's boxing arc, as she gets amped up from the sugar Lara stuffs into her face
She'll finally have a salary to pay rent and buy new clothes.
>>289706790>Mari can't take it anymore and rapes Lara>Lara forgives her but will always remember what happened when looking at their beautiful half-human, half-mermaid baby
>>289706813Finally we have the Kannazuki no Miko of our time
>>289706790>a more cynical, realistic routeSo Lara and Luca fighting over Mari?
>>289706966*Lara and Mari fighting over Luca
>>289706966I'm thinking Luca will fall for Mari too and Lara will realise that she loves Mari when she sees that the prince is trying to steal her from her
>>289707010Chocolate cake at their wedding soon
>>289678303to cover up her ugly facethe child hood friend probably knew what she looks like without the mask which is why he decided to date some other girl instead
I figured out the plot for Luca.
>>289707142>You must understand, Lara. I pretended to be the prince because I couldn't let you fall for a girl. That's forbidden love!>But Lisa, you're also a girl, and my sister...>The two forbidden loves cancel each other out!
>>289707142I will save this just because it disturbs me so
Who the hell is Fura
>>289707352It's hard to see but it's just Lara's toddler handwriting.
>>289707352Ningyo furai
Why does Mari have to work too?
>>289707424If you don't work you don't eat.
>>289707424She's there to make sure Lara doesn't burn anything down
Mari eating cake off Lara's body naked sushi style except Lara is the naked sushi.
>>289706017Cute employed fish
>>289707352>part time job for a minor is almost as many hours as a full-time job in my countryNever change Japan.
When will we have an episode as good as the third one again?
>>289707575Expert on seasonal anime originals here. The other high point is usually episode 7 or 8, right before the start of the bullshit forced drama leading into the disappointing ending.
>>289707595Jellyfishbro...
>>289707606It works with Flip Flappers too among others.
>>289707595Sora yori didn’t peak on episode 8
>>289707595>seasonal anime originalsAs opposed to what, non-seasonal anime originals?
>>289707768Stuff that runs more than one cour like Precure.
>>289707856thats kodomo anime tho?
>>289707865Does that disqualify from them being anime originals?
>>289707872*them from being
>>289707872it disqualifies them from following 1 season anime original conventions
>I just have to mention my pedo anime in this discussion!llool
>>289678121Dodge Challenger
>>289707922You can't just isekai a fairytale princess.
>>289695857Deadlift and shoot guns
>>289706443Who would say no to this smile?
>>289707901If only there was a word to express something explicitly running only in one season
can't wait for yuritrannies to get absolutely obliterated
>>289708103are het all this delusional?
Luca is gonna appear in episode 6 for sure
>>289707404Are you telling me a Ningyo fried that rice?
screw mermaids with legs, I wanna know how the anglerfish became a boi
>>289708253>he's an anglerfish>a male one at thatYou know what that means right?
>>289708253>boiits a manly woman no?
>>289708391Post a screenshot of the angler fish, I think you might be right
>>289708405the big anglers are girls, it's the small ones that are male... but it could be some artistic freedom and it was a boy all along? who knows????
>>289707352She works more than i do...
>>289678121Never mind I found the screenshot above, holy shit it might actually be female>>289708391>>289708405
>ep5 still no lucaahahahaha the plot device prince
do not underestimate my ability to sniff out bois
Maybe Luca has been in every episode but even more well-hidden than those two vtubers.
>>289708452We're just shitposting, I know he's a dude but the studio should have done their research, admittenly, there's other ways to laugh at him now
>>289707352>I work 12hrs almost every dayer....
>>289708462>We're just shitpostingthat's no way to behave on the 4chans!
>>289705968HETBROS WHERE THE FUCK IS OUR MAIN CHARACTER
Ending a show about finding true love on true love was the friends we made along the way would be gayer than a yuri end.
>>289708686Especially after an episode where someone tried to cope with "I'm fine if we remain just friends forever" before having her heart broken and resolving to search for another romantic love.
>>289708458Does he have a red and white hat that'd make him easier to spot?
>>289708729Nah he'll have a clown nose and wig
