This is a boy.
>>290193903I prefer this thread for at least having the right subject. Why do retards who don't know how to make threads keep making threads?
and WHAT a boy
>>290194659MATING PRESS CORRECTION
I'm not gay buuuuuuut...
>draw a girl>call it a boyThey can't keep getting away with it
Where are you getting this she's a boy thing from?
>>290195182https://x.com/i/status/2089022404962197505>ルカの弟>Luca's younger brother
>>290193903Lala's true love
>>290193903He's going to grow up to be a strong man.
>tease cute loli character for half the season>sike she’s actually a boy!WHY DO ANIME ORIGINALS DO THIS
>>290195672it's fine; pederasty is more noble than pedophilia.
Shota trap chads are eating good this season
>>290194120The anime is called good bye Lara tho, what's the problem
>>290197401Even if you're going to use the English title, goodbye is one fucking word.
>>290194688Luca is a permabeg...
>laughs at your shitty drawingHow can you possible recover?
>>290199344>the worst thing she can say is no
>>290199344Jump into Lake Biwa
If we assume>Lara's mass is 60 kg>Throw angle is 45 degrees>Lara is 3 m from Mari's hand in the screenshot>Lara's maximum height is 1.2 m above Mari>A full body throw is about 80 cm>g = 9.81 m/s²Then, y = x \tan(\theta) - \frac{g x^2}{2 v_0^2 \cos^2(\theta)} which leads to v_0^2 = \frac{88.2}{1.8} = 49and the throw is>v = 7.0 m/s (about 15.6 mph).The force required can be found using F \cdot d = \frac{1}{2} m v_0^2leading to F = \frac{1470}{0.8} = 1837.5>F = 1{,}837.5 NA trained boxer could easily surpass that number when throwing a punch... but throwing a person isn't the same as throwing a punch. A full body throw like that is definitely cartoon logic.
>>290193903Finally watched the episode and dumbasses were losing their marbles over this? if they watched utena they would have a stroke.
>>290199513yes, Utena is objectively bad by both 90's standards and 2026 standards, too.
>>290199513hetfags are shitposting hard, just that
Okay seriously, this has to be one of the greatest yuribait ever conceived right ? It was so masterfully crafted that almost all yuri frens fell for it and then it all came tumbling down this episode.
>>290199436This actually foreshadows Mari punching the fish dagger away. Everything connects. Like Luca being Lisa
>>290193903>fish boy is actually a girl>cute loli is actually a shota
>>290199787>got baited into thinking it's yuribait>doesn't even realize the irony of their own post
>>290199787We are just halfway through the show you fucking retard.
If Lara doesn't end up with Mari, this anime will go down in history as the biggest bait ever made. A living lesson about what shouldn't be done.
>>290199907Yeah finale is going to be fucking beautiful. I bet shitposter-kun will keep seething about it years later just like Gwitch and others.
>didin't react the entire episodeYurichads never won so easily
You are watching yurifag cope, live ITT.
>>290199787I haven't seen fags get btfo this hard since Seikaisuru Kado
>>290199907>>290199929Lara will tongue kiss Luca and you delusional faggots will still say it's yuri.
>>290199953Just like GWitch, Lycoris Recoil, Hibike, etc.?
>>290200021See you in few weeks LMAO
Japan is really good at making shit series to own the yuritards.
Looks like the hetfag is mad...
>>290200053Ever heard of a bisexual?
kill luca
>Why yes, I DO think Japan will run and entire show into the ground just to spite... yurifriends.
>>290195312>>290195182What the fuck? Surely this is a mistake?
If this actually ends with yuri that anti yuri schizo should hide forever since holy fuck how do you even recover from something like this?
>>290200140He will just spam yaoi in the threads. He's done that before.
>>290200053>Lara will tongue kiss Luca and you delusional faggots will still say it's yuri.Well if her heart won't even skip a beat and murdering fish won't come at Luca, I think both you and Lara gonna get a hint this is fake love.>>290200066Mr Retardo, G-Witch ended in homo marriage, not our fault that single exec was anally probed and felt a need to clumsly correct VA printed interview later in digital form like his life depended on it.Hibike was never a yuri show so stop your retardation already.And Lycoris Recoil I have to say yurifags won since neither of the girls ended with guys.
>>290199994>exploded out of her panties for Mari>killed an anglerfish for MariCompletely over for Luca before it even began
why were lara's shoes wet at the end? did they have to dump her in the lake again?
>>290200053Literally not even one romantic interaction in the entire episode. No smiling, no blushing, fish did nothing. The entire point of Luca is that she thinks she should be in love with him but she's not.
>>290193903Unless they specify, Leo can be a nickname for a girl as well. Not that it matters anyway....
>>290200184She's foaming as a very subtle signifier that Luca the autist that triggers her trauma isn't her true love.
Thoughts?
>>290193903I would creampie this boy until he gets pregnant
>>290200132I'm sorry but this is a woke show
>>290200184She has sweaty soles.
>>290200219They probably taste like fishe.Not worth sucking at all.
this was a good episode and luca is very likeable [/spoiler] now I will get branded antiyuri schizo even though i have posted multiple times that luca and lara endgame is not happening [/spoiler]
>>290200235>a woke showShota traps being for men aren't woke in any way, just old japanese anime tradition.Only woke stuff might be Mari x Lara, or Koto being FtM human, but that's all.
>>290200209Seriously this whole thing proves how fucking retarded that yuri hater is. Episode was so fucking obvious be he still didn't get anything. Actually dumber than a rock.
>>290199344Deserved.Nice dubs
>>290200235I'm seriously sick of Nips' obsession with femboys
>>290200267He's fun and episode was great. And everybody with a brain can see he's not winning this.
FFM ending is set
>>290200267You fool. Now I will remind you that you messed up your spoilers for 10 years at least.
>>2902002194/10 needs far more detail
>>290200314Most of Asia loves cross dressing for thousands of years.
>we can have Mari princess carrying Lara, nah, lets have Mari throwing Lara off the bridgeI feel robbed.
>>290200267>luca is very likeableAre you a woman?I found him creepy and I hated how he was forcing himself on Lara too much after she rejected him already, I don't belive in his love for Lara being nothing more than empty attraction he doesn't understand himself since he is clarly autistic, especially seeing he thinks his real self is a blue haired woman.
>>290200267Look, just post when things are calmer. People are just annoyed by the spammer, I like Luca too. If anything I also think it's sad that they wrote him to really like Lara, when it's obvious he's meant to lose. Maybe Yoshiya will be there to sweep him away after his heartbreak.
>>290200267ctrl-s nigga
>>290200341Yes, Fish Fish Mari
>>290199344wtf I hate Lara now
>>290200355That's because Lara is the one who's meant to princess carry Mari.
>>290200267>luca is very likeableI found him weird, didn't like that much and I'm a woman
>>290200361He likes Lara but probably not in normal romantic way. They will end up as good friends.
>>290200238When your soles start producing foam that goes beyond merely sweaty.
>yuribait in a non-yuri series>"what the fuck is wrong with yurifags..? are they too retarded to understand they're being played? the show was never going in that direction">hetbait in a non-het series>"oh my god, het confirmed and yurikeks utterly btfo. we are fucking winning, it doesn't even matter that this is not what the series is confirmed to be about"
>>290200353A very enlightened country
>>290200415He's weird but inoffensive. Still weird.
>>290200429And then he seethes for years after show ends with lesbian marriage.
Luca will have a threesome with Lara and Mari and his cum will drip out of both of them as they bear his children
>>290200383>fishLara>fishuuuuh, Grace?>MariMari
>>290200267I like him more than Mari at least, at least his art schtick feels more relevant than her boxing thing.
>>290200171>And Lycoris Recoil I have to say yurifags won since neither of the girls ended with guys.Yurifags truly have low standards
>>290200353Fuck Europe for ruining it in most of places
>>290200473>his art schtick feels more relevant than her boxing thingHow?
>>290200459Why do you always think about another man's cum
>>290200497Xe can't help ximself.
>>290200497Well I wish it was me but they arent real
>>290200171>that single exec was anally probed and felt a need to clumsly correct VA printed interview later in digital form like his life depended on itwhy was this a thing that happened
>>290200536You wish you had Luca's cum inside you? Get a load of this guy lol
>>290200574Luca's dick is too small.
I'm a big yuri hater Luca is going to KISS both Mari and Lara on the cheeks
I'm a big shota lover I'm going to KISS Leo on the lips
>>290193903who's gonna say Sayonara to Lara?when is our titledrop dropping?
>>290200209either that or her mission-timer is running out and she needs to S!X someone fast
>>290200496The whole thing about seeing inner beauty is pertinent to how a mermaid can live among humans even when her natural form can seem horrific (yes I know we all want to fuck a fish but ignore that).I expected Mari's boxing to get some kind of attention in regards to how Lara should be asserting herself compared to the expectations of her family to "bring the light back" but that hasn't really gone anywhere yet, and we're rapidly running out of screentime.
>Kota is a tranny>Leo is a crossdresserLara futa is a genuine possibility
>>290200700We already got it in the first episode.
>>290200209You keep saying this, but so far all the foaming has meant is that the potions ability to maintain the mermaids humans form is wearing off.Why do you think it has anything to do with love?
>>290200732Why are you acting like 5 episodes isn't enough? That's literally a full movie's worth of time.
Lisa=Luca, Leo is a boy... this show's audience really is just a bunch of schizos
>>290193903You don’t appreciate enough how deep in gay territory we are with this. We are looking at a male shota probably mermaid in the frilliest ass gay dress imaginable who is weirdly invested in his older brother (definitely not female) fucking a mermaid.Why are you still doubting him or his disciples?
>>290200744Why is Lara's fish dagger so phallic?
>>290200787It's obvious they foam because they can't find true love yet. Maybe you'd understand if you actually used the eyes your mother gave you instead of disappointing her
>>290200886>It's obvious they foam because they can't find true love yet.Why haven't Kota and Lisa kissed yet?
>>290195923>t. priest
>>290200922Lisa is too focused on Lara and also likely still thinks of Kota as not a true prince even if she likes him/her/whatever.
>>290200922Because Lisa obsessively wants to fuck her youngest sister.
>>290200943Didn't someone also say that there's only one special princess able to bring light blablabla, or did I imagine that bit?
>>290200811Sure, I'm not denying it could happen, but frankly I feel like the anime has handled Mari extremely poorly and isn't that interested in her. She got one episode focused on her on episode 3 and since then she's just been... kind of there? This is just me, but if I was director I'd be sowing seeds about her future development, like having the odd scene where she has more tension with that senpai she doesn't get on with, or Lara being interested in her upcoming matches, or just... idk I'm running out of things to suggest because they've not really teased anything about her character, future stakes or development.
>>290200922Because Kota is a manlet.
>>290200574I want to bang the chicks, retard
>>290200125When Lara leaves Luca's house and for a moment it cuts to the floating fish in the sky I had a fleeting thought that he was about to get fishnuked.
>>290200967That's also true, you didn't imagine it. Lisa is not a special princess, so that may also be why she can't find true love that passes for giving light, and has to depend on Lara.
>trap mesugakiwhose dick did the studio chain up for them to spawn a literal lust incarnate and why
>his true self painting has the same colors of the witchhmmmmmmmmmm
>>290200886So you have no evidence?
>>290200787If you've read the book it all makes sense. Mermaids live for hundreds of years but turn to sea foam when they die. When a human loves them they can share a part of the human's soul and live out a human's lifespan and when they die they will have a human afterlife with a soul of their own. Alternatively they can return to the sea and share the soul that they took to help many mermaids have their own chance. The potion is amost certainly something like the remaining juice from previous generations of mermaids who loved humans but returned to the sea rather than dying as one of them.In the book, the mermaid refused to take a soul and dies as sea foam, but her goodness means she becomes a third thing. The foam scatters into the sky and she exists for hundreds of years as something like a wind fairy. The good behaviour of the people that read the story can slowly accrue to help her gain a soul and reach an afterlife though.
>>290200973You just seem to be someone who bounces off quiet characters. Which is fine, but that doesn't mean she's been done poorly. Mari's development and her relationship with Lara has been progressing in each and every episode with those "seeds" you've been talking about, including the Lisa one where they barely appear. Watch harder.
>>290201026>eye painted in the exact spot of Lisa's cracked mirroreither it means he's Lisa or it means he's a pawn of the witch just like Lisa unintentionally is
This is going to end in an apocalyptic MISUNDERSTANDINGS arc, isn't it?>Lara goes on dates with Luca>weird, why doesn't this feel as special as being with Mari?>right as Lara is realising the answer, Mari (possibly nudged by Grace with the threat of Lara turning back into foam) tells her she needs to stop hanging out with her and go be with her true love>tactical anti-rejection ballistic fishe nukes Shiga
>>290201026Oooh, it kinda looks as if his self is being taken over.
>>290200973>She got one episode focused on her on episode 3 and since then she's just been... kind of there?She's done nice things for/taken care of Lara in pretty much every episode and that has already been telegraphed as what leads to love.
Sayonara...Lara...
>>290201026>witch is weirdly pushing Lara to Luca (that looks exactly like the past prince) saying he's her true love despice being sayin to find a new love beforeShe is controling him, isn't she?
>>290200184It was a metaphor for her pussy after hanging out with Luca
>>290201181looooong fishe
>>290201181I can't believe Lara is fucking dead
>>290201026I pointed out in the threads last week that it was super suspicious that the "sister" seemed to have hairstyle almost exactly like Grace's. Also aren't the curtains in his studio covered in barnacles?
>>290201160>Lara fell in love with Mari because she saved her from drowing and gave her something to warm her heat and gave her a place to belong toKino
>>290201118This is 100% going to happen and I predicted it from the start. One of the PVs has a scene of Mari talking alone with Luca and she's obviously telling him something like "you have to be Lara's prince so she can save her people."
The only thing this show doesn't have time for is more Grace, which is the one black mark on this show.
the worst she can do is say no
>>290201272He's just so suspicious. Never trust a twink
Luca won
>>290201118>>290201026That's sad, I had assumed Grace was secretly a good girl all along.
>>290201295>she sees your dick
THERE GOES MY HERO
There's something fishy about Luca.
>>290201348...the losing award
Aren't Tanukis shape-shifting creatures in Japanese folklore? As the other anon pointed out, could Luca be someone else disguised?
>>290200267>[/spoiler]
>>290201395He's definitely not what he seems. Everything about him just doesn't add up. He might be an autist because he's a fishe transformed too
>>290201364I believe in Grace. That sexy fishe would never lead me astray.
>>290201364You assume correctly and she will be proven right about everything.
Grace didn't do anything wrong.
>>290201424Luca...
fuck leo in the ass
>>290201272>Also aren't the curtains in his studio covered in barnacles?Yes and it has animal bones too
>>290201364I don't think Grace is evil, she just doesn't understand true love any more than any other mermaid. She thinks it's just about finding someone with the correct set of characteristics, then magical true love light and something something Lara's mother comes back somehow.
>>290201453Many people are saying this.
>>290201471She just wants to see a cute mermaid princess get deflowered by human cock.
>>290201471I wonder if she plans to steal Lara's true love light to resurrect Lara's mom instead of actually reviving Lara's family?
>>290201318>she laughs at your small pp
>>290201466Creepy
>>290201529Leo probably has a bigger cock than Luca.
"I have a feeling he might be an animal of some sort who always loved Lara and was then turned into human by the witch or Lisa. Leo could also be an animal, given his name."Someone on /u/ said this and I think it's possible.
>>290201555That's why he needs such a long dress...
Luca is a total fag.
>>290201374
>people compare this to Utena.Utena was bad. Like, really bad.
>>290201471Mermaids don't have souls and aren't naturally good or evil. When they fall in love with a human the human can share their soul and that lets them have and feel and understand human morality. They can also just take a soul. Grace almost certainly does that, which seems evil, but it'll probably be revealed that she only targets evil humans that hurt mermaids, like the ones that captured Lily and put her in a circus.
>>290201616>if I keep repeating thing in every thread it will eventually be taken seriously!
>>290201622>Grace sucking my soul out of my balls
>>290201653Woah, Lara's dad.
Can a yuri show not contain elements of men?
When will Lara turn into a car?
This getting even more suspicious
>>290201622All I'm getting from this is total mermaid death
>290201616Not worth a (you)
>I'm going to die in 30 days.
>>290201699Forgot to link the post, it's exaclty what she likes lol >>290201466
>>290201669There's also the fact that Luca = Ruka, the mid-season character who arrived out of nowhere and tried to straighten Juri - it didn't work and he later died offscreen alone and unloved. Hetfags never talk about this one, oddly!
>>290201740>>290201699Take your meds.
>>290201395There's certainly something going on and he's either being influenced by someone else or disguising his true identity. There's still plenty of airing time for that to come out and be resolved one way or the otherAlso, what a cute pfp, he's so pretty. Hopefully we get at least a couple doujinshi of him getting fucked
>>290201756>We're probably going to get the TV Utena "Lara and Mari are just very good friends" ending instead of movie kissing while naked end.Sad!
>>290201740>Grace dancing with someone who looks like the prince's grandaddy in the opCould it be...?
>>290201680On the contrary, the best yuri shows showcase girls getting the girl despite the presence of men.
Real talk this completely destroys the entire het theory.
>>290201796They'll save that for the Lara movie, obviously.
>>290201864Obvious to anyone with a brain desu
I want the ost to come out already. Love that track that played during the Lara and Luca montage.
Luca will impregnate both Lara and Mari
>>290201864She met Mari, too. Why is she turning to foam?
Did anyone else think of Saitama when they saw this?>>290201466Lara's dialogue and the OST during this scene made it feel like something out of Aria.
>>290201864Not really. Luca is Grace and that's the only reason Lara is feeling anything at all.
>>290201945She was fine with Mari. It was only until she left Mari and started dating Luka that she became foam.
>>290201775>doujinshi of him getting fuckedBy LeoImagine the smalldom
>>290200973I kinda agree. Mari's just been weirdly disinterested in Lara's plight, even if she cares about Lara herself. Maybe I'm just hoping too much for this to be a non-ambiguous romantic ending.
>>290201994They should double team Lara desu.
>>290201960>Did anyone else think of Saitama when they saw this?I'm not a shounenshit slopguzzler so no.
>>290201962Luca is Luna
>>290201960I did.
>>290201395Imagine if the creators of the show just accidentally stumbled into large scale symbolism like this and some of the other stuff people are talking about but it doesn't actually mean anything.
>>290201917yeah and I when Lisa had to rush to her home to get to her lightbath and the knockoff juice.
>>290202013Nah, Leo and Mari's brother should double team Luca.
>>290201945Mermaids turn to foam when they die unless they have souls, which they gain from human love or by stealing them. It's to show that her time is running out. It doesn't have anything to do with Lara's feelings. A human has to love her. In the book it's marriage that does the soul sharing, but presumably the show will just let that happen from mutual love.
>>290202037They planned this show for 2 years
>>290202037welcome to anime.
Is the Luca in the room with us right now?
>>290201395>Luca is someone else in disguisethis is easily the most deranged theory to date.
>>290201960You may be onto something, anon.
>>290202063Evangelion is not all of anime.
I don't like Luca. He's weird.
someone link me the old thread pls
>>290202037Shiga is famous for tanukis, so its not reslly weird for them to be everywhere, especially considering this is a tourism anime,
>>290201960I see that butchered Jesus painting.
>>290202102>>290179305>>290193598
>>290202079Yeah, he's on my bed right now.
>>290202094>he keeps tripping because he's barely keeping human form.
arent they going to visit hakone castle?
>>290201960Lara is so beautiful...
>Luca trips and falls>/a/: THIS IS A SHAPESHIFTER TRYING TO TRICK US
A lot of people say this is meant to be in conversation with Twin Peaks.
>>290202105>Foreign characters immediately become obsessed with Tanuki's upon coming to Shiga.
>>290202196Anon, there's no reason he should be randomly falling down so often and the show pausing to depict it so deliberately each time unless it means something.
>>290193903tinder date
>>290200033Fags or antifags, the show imploded it's own plot and themes. As an SF fan, I couldn't enjoy the ending sequence regardless of shipping.I liked it in the beginning, with "we can communicate, lets talk it out" theme, then later with alien gifts and discussion about how much external aid humanity can we accept and still stay itself. But then it went all in on "aliens are too alien, communication is impossible, have to get rid of intruders by violence and keep our humanity pure"."no, all alien gifts must be taken away, even that free-energy-forever thingie that already improved our lives"Just felt bad to me.
>>290202261Based.
The show is accidentally set at lake biwa, which is famous for its tanuki statues.Lara accidentally attempted to stuff a tanuki statue into her bag when she decided she would leave mari's house on her own.Leo happens to carry a tanuki doll.Luca happens to have a tanuki figure in his pfp.These are coincidences and are not obviously the fabric that the show was built around and is building towards a reveal. Shape-shifting Western creatures are confirmed to exist in-universe, but shape-shifting Japanese creatures would be unthinkable in this series.
>>290202196Occam's razor.
>>290202030Actually an idea. And Leo is her jellyfish
>>290202261>Cosmic Princess>Bandori>HibikeThe holy trinity of yurifag takes across social media.
>>290202230Forgot pic, by one of the storyboard directors actually.
>shapeshifting as a theme>kota>leoI've been tricked into watching a troon show. Is this what the director meant by modern sensibilities?
This anime would have been much better with no romance at all. Just cute clumsy Lara learning new things and trying to live as a human.
>>290193903They are literally telling us that Lara's true love is the love for battle and violence. The witch is trying to turn her into a weapon of mass destruction to end human civilization. We've seen signs since her childhood and her propensity for decapitation.
>>290202094Isn't this the exact shape Lara took when she fell?
>>290202361That you think shapeshifting must be about that is a (you) problem. Seek help for your obsession with trannies.
>>290202370>Mari punched her lights out when they first metMari truly is the right one for her
>>290202287>Lara accidentally attempted to stuff a tanuki statue into her bag when she decided she would leave mari's house on her own.This was very sweet.
>>290202394>Took a second to put her gloves on Actually a qt
>>290202370The witch wants to convince her to steal souls like her, so she isn't alone for hundreds of more years with brainless mermaids. People think it's a love story between Lara and Mari, but it's really Grace and Lara with Mari as fodder.
>>290202387Luca is symbolizes Lara's position in the past, where she had a one sided love for the prince. Luca is now the same towards Lara, and Lara is now beginning to understand what the prince felt and why he rejected her through her relationship with Luca.
>>290202368coming of age / slice of life / lesson of the week.It could work.
fishe third impact SOON
>>290202274Oh don't get me wrong, it turned what started as a really interesting sci-fi into absolute garbage by the end. But the way it specifically baited the relationship between the MC and alien (whose names completely elude me by this point) before making him somehow evil and the girl correct felt like a comical fuck you to the yaoi audience.Babylon by the same author also similarly started with a really interesting concept only for it to completely shit the bed, although I feel it was more consistently entertaining thoughout.
>>290202370I could buy into this but bringing the witch in ruins it. She's definitely not anti-human, it was Lara's family who were.
>>290193903I don't believe you.
>>290202368Pretty much yea, there's a ton of differents kinds of love but shipniggers are obssesed with just one kind and will actively shut you off if you dare point this out.>>290202449Babylon was ass, you had all those important old people talking highschool level philosophy to the audience.Villain's design had something alluring about her to be fair.
>>290202497HABEEB IT
MARIFAGS DONT LOOK
>>290199787>>290200053You're in for a rude awakening. This episode essentially confirmed the yuri endgame if you have even the slightest amount of media literacy.
Lara nude modeling for Luca when?
can you lot go to bed in a jiffy so that I don't have 3 threads to catch up on tomorrow?
I liked the obvious portrayal of this being a different kind of love from her crushes on the prince and Mari. Instead of the spark of light we see the daisy and the firework. Lara's learning that this is not the same love, but still important and precious. Mari's boxing match, her work at the bakery, and now a genuine friendship with a stranger. She's learning more and more about humanity. It's quite heartwarming.
>>290202514>Babylon was ass
Why would Luca look exactly like the prince Lara fell in love with? What are the chances? There is no reincarnation in this anime.
>>290202524This guy over there? That's me.
>>290199344how do you respond without sounding mad
>>290202557Sex
>>290202370>Get in the Fish, Lara
why?
>>290202551Yeah, this show has been pretty good at portraying all types of love, even if some of the audience deliberately misunderstand what the show's going for.
>>290200884It's Mari's honeymoon gift.
>>290201378I was hoping his head would land on the entrance and those automatic doors keep slamming his head
>>290202592She's getting over the prince saying she's ugly
>>290201453>fuck leo in the assHey, we can all share here
>>290202621>his head cracks open like an egg>water and tiny fishes come out
>>290202566You fall down and cry like a bitch
>>290201960i thought of this
me all alone
If Luca is a fraud then why does he actually have a painting studio?
>>290202559Humans that eat mermaid flesh can extend their lifespan. It's probably something to do with that.
>>290202712His sugar witch mommy gave it to him
>>290202712How exactly does this teenage kid have some weird building all to himself to paint in without anyone else knowing anyway?
I just keep watching the ED on loop. Such good ep
>>290202452How do you know that? We see that originally Lara falling in love with a human would lead to that human's death if Lara hadn't stopped herself in time. I can't see the witch have well intentions towards humans in her machinations
>>290202551>>290202609Luca = romantic love Mari = platonic loveam I getting it right ?
>>290193903Sex with this boy!
>>290202124two already? fuck it's already midnightthank you blessed anon
>>290188320is akihabara maid good?
>>290202652Well, I'm more thinking that scene in the Simpsons where that happened with Homer working in the Kwik Mart
Don't take your fishe into high altitude.
>>290202833Yeah it's pretty cool, watch it, go blind.
>>290193903Wtf the Ancient Greeks were right?
>>290202833Yes.
>>290202795>the death of one human that serves her purpose means she hates the existence of all humans and her endgame plan is genocide!Anon, do you understand how that doesn't follow at all?
>SAYONARA RARA
>>290202833One of the best of this decade I would say
>>290202833No, it's a waste of hot girls constantly getting killed off.
>>290202906>>290202885Thank you anons, will download a few eps and hopefully it just doesn't dust out in my SSD like everything else honestly, i need more things to watch, distract myself from the world and pass the time so i will just watch everything thank you
>>290202833Watching it without /a/ won't be anywhere near as fun, but sure go for it
the fuck is this
>>290203010Art.

>>290203038this fuck women

They are just like us
>>290203120always
>>290203120inferior beings
I'm just saying but we haven't seen Luca and Lisa together in the same room
>>290203120Are they lusting over Leo like us too?
>>290203010Our heroine
let's be honest this brat needs correction doujins when
lmao
>>290203200what did >we do now
>>290203151even the cope are the same...
how do you respond without sounding mad?
>>290203190looks a bit chubby in this pic
>>290203190anal full nelson>>290203200>>290203221he's probably talking about the Chinese specifically, chinks are always extreme about... pretty much everything
why is nobody talking about this? it's the most important thing this ep
Candidates for Luca's true form:>Seagull>Lisa>Grace>Luna>Tanuki>FishDid I miss anything? Who is /a/ gambling on?
>>290203187Just as horny lol
>>290193903Damn. How many more days until Lisa loses the ability the walk.
>>290203273There's barely any explanation of this thing besides it looking like it came out of Evangelion and apparently is a part of Lara or is the light itself.
>>290203273It's a standard part of the story if you've read the book though? What's so important about it?
>LUca>LEoYeah they're absolutely connected with mermaids
>>290203310based
>>290203292it literally doesn't matter, none of these would make this episode any less shit
>>290203343It's her heart. And her heart needs to fall in love with a human then eat that human's soul, as that's how mermaids get light.
>>290203347I dunno anon my knives dont get up at 2am and tell me that they want the burglar's soul
why did they bait us with this then?
>>290203332>feathers on his headhmmmmmm
>>290203347There's a lot of people here that seem to be pretending to have read the story. The dagger in the fairy tail is just a normal dagger. Maybe it's magic (since they did get it from the witch) but there's not much detail. It's not a living eldritch abomination like this dagger.
>>290203292SEAGULL GANG
>>290203400Because the show's barely half over you dipshit.
>some faggot starts talking about other sites>thread immediately goes to shitlike clockwork
>>290203120I did not know they used green text for anything other than quoting in japan
yurisisters... not again...
>>290203292what if he's just some guy?
>>290203400because you fall for it every time
>>290203273It pretty clearly represents the dark side of emotional attachment, like the "light" represents the positive side.
>>290203400this is the art for the first BD box which only covers the first 6 episodes, I suggested that the one for the second BD box might be Lara x Luca. obviously that triggered the rabid LaraMarifags but I still think it's a fair assumption
>>290203475cockwork
>>290203400Luca is lucky
>>290203381Isn't that kind of... evil?
/u/ is already boycotting the anime, lol
>>290203200I keep seeing this on other jp websites as well, >I'm scared of this not being yuri because overseas yuri fags are very extremeand shit like that lmao, what do they think we're going to do, set the studio on fire?
>>290203573NO NO NOOOO NOT AGAIN
>>290203608The chinese seem to be the most extreme.I remember them being the most mad at Kamina Botan's author too.
>episode quite literally shoves in your face that Lara and Luca won't be an item>Somehow yurifags everywhere in complete disarrayEither they don't even watch the show or they are so illiterate that they honestly believe that the show isn't yuri anymore>>290203539
>>290203608>>290203654Good. Bait and switch needs consequences.
>>290203573They're throwing the towel too fast I think.Nothing's decided yet, though I do think this brought the balance back to pre episode 3 levels.
>>290203608chink yurifags go fucking nuclear in social media
>>290203539Love hurts.
ローワン Rowanラウラ Laura ローサ Rosa レア Rea ルナ Luna リサ Lisa ララ Lara ルカ Lucaレオ LeoPlus the design of the art studio, the details of the painting of Luca's "true self", the weird timing of Lisa's scenes, the mere fact it's extremely odd he just happens to look exactly like the prince and met Lara... It would be crazier for all of these to be coincidences/red herrings.
>>290203573>check /u/>no boycottingwhy are you lying>>290203608when they say "overseas yuri fags" they refer to chinks 99℅ of the time
>>290203686Anon is lying, he's shitposting in the /u/ thread but nobody is taking the bait and his posts get deleted so he came here to pretend otherwise.
>>290203714>red herringshehe
>>290203742>Luca is a literal red herring>Lara instinctively bites his head off
>>290203714>red herringsI mean...
>>290203691Chinks are just like that. Their yurifags are more extreme, their antiyurifags are also more extreme. They are just really psychotic people in general.
What is that symbol?
>>290203521fuck me i'm actually dumb. how do i get smart? thank you anon

>>290203797Dogs possess a wisdom we should all strive to learn from.
>>290203783It's the symbolism of the mirror shattering in front of Lisa's eye from episode 6. It seemed silly but it's in his self-portait too >>290201026 so it's getting more and more suspicious.
it's just like the spider in darlinfra

>Be Lisa>Suffer all kinds of shit for 200 years>your only companion is a loyal anglerfish (granted he is good company at least)>Now people on an anime forum think you crossdress as a guy because you're flat as fuck
I wonder what Lisa thinks Grace can do or is capable of doing? Is she just totally in the dark at this point, or does she have some grand strategy?
I just realised the family did watch it together like they usually do. Lara being with Luca only confirms that she's "not part of the family"
>>290203882>Darling in the Franxxlol lmaoSayonara Lara is a millions times better than that trainwreck
>>290203937Lisa is a loser who has no plan and is bumbling around getting nothing done except gradually getting FOAMed. I'll save her sorry ass eventually anyway, don't worry.
When will it turn into sayonara?
>>290203967ngl that's actually a genius move
>>290203902It's not really allowed in the west either unless it's a popular criticism that literally EVERYONE is making to fit in.
It might be because she's in love, but Lara was extra cute today.
>>290204008Yeah. I'm so glad I started watching this. It's so good
>>290203967>Lara being with Luca only confirms that she's "not part of the family"huh?
>>290203937>>your only companion is a loyal anglerfish (granted he is good company at least)well she drank the potion specifically because she wanted to be with him
Uh, you already hurt someone with that, Lara...
>>290204027YURIKEKS DONT LOOK
>>290204053Fish are food to her, not people
>>290203967more like she chose Luca over Mari and her family
>>290204027Yes, but she is already in love with Mari
>>290203967What? Did you watch it with your eyes closed the first time? I really don't understand how you could miss the fact that Lara watched the fireworks with Luca while Mari watched it with her family the first time.
>>290204069Somebody refer her to the Fish-Friendly Sharks support group
>>290203967>They are in a dark colorI don't think this is a good sign

i wish luca were built up as a character prior to this episode, either via the prince or with an earlier introduction. they had a lot of ground to cover this episode going from first impressions to multiple dates, a breakup, and then another date, which made it feel a little rushed despite having some very good scenes.
>>290204244nice art, I wish more people drew them but people seem to prefer crackships like Lara x Mari
>>290194659[x] needs correction
>The only shot with light is when Lara is seeing the fireworkWhat this means?
>>290204303Holy fuck you are obsessed. And anyone with a brain can see a million signs this episode that Luca is not the one. You are going to seethe so hard in few weeks.
>>290204145>人間を信じることへの怖さを乗り越えようとしながら、ルカとの距離を縮めていくララ。ララの素の姿を美しいと思ってくれるルカ。変わってしまった自分の心の形を、ララは受け入れて、前に進んでいけるのか。がんばれララ！
>>290204340that Luca is her one true love
>>290204267If this anime was good they would have already done this as a gag. Mari puts on the nature channel because there's nothing worth watching on TV, it just happens to be showing fish mating and Lara gets super flustered and embarassed.
>>290204340deaddeadLIVE
>>290204285We need a lot of light to resurrect all those mermaids...

>>290204393Yeah you are coping alright.
>pretending fireworks is equivalent to the stock photo of true light that gets spammed every episodewhat is the purpose
>>290204365God I wish they did, or maybe a reference to Spongebob or the Little Mermaid would have been funny.
>>290204365>if this anime was good it'd have juvenile sex jokesI'm sure you really believe that.
>>290204402>no uI accept your concession
>>290204419Can't wait for the tears. Like holy fuck if you actually think het won this episode you are sub 70 IQ or something.
>>290204285>>290204371Anime is not tagged as "tragedy" so I don't think so
>>290204407>>if this anime was good it'd have juvenile sex jokesThis, but unironically.
>>290202833It's meh. The first episode is by far the best and it never reaches that peak again.
>>290204440They will obviously stop her but that's her plan.
>>290204407I would loved a reference to Nat Geo or a David Attenborough BBC documentary
So is this yuri or not?
>>290203967I mean I presume it was Lara that refused cause she wanted to go with Luca.
>>290204439Be patient with xim, xe is not very bright.
>>290204463Yes 100%
>>290204463Yesn't
>>290202833Not really. Interesting premise that goes nowhere.
>>290204463it's Aquatope/Hibikek tier yuri
>>290204463As a Yurifag, I feel defeated
So this is Luca, huh.
Why doesn't Lara just go into the internet, he'll find a lot of videos about men loving fish, is pretty normal these days.
>>290204352So basically she will need to choose between Luca and Lara. That's obvious
>both sayonara lara and grow up circus rug pulled the yuritardsHoly based
>>290204463This episode basically confirms it's yuri. The only question is if it's going to be super "friends" ending or it's going to go all the way.
>>290204519it's over. maybe next season..
>>290204519>>290204532>samefag cope alreadyLMAO the end of this season is going to break you.
>concern trolling
why would a fish drool THOUGH ?
>>290204508I wonder who the little "sister" is.
>>290204440>>290204460They probably won't destroy Shiga, but that dagger's going to kill at least one person.
>>290204553It's just that hungry for heartsSurely that is drool, right?
>>290204500Same, I feel sick to my stomachI might have felt better if I could share this pain with other yurifags but most of them are still in the denial phase
You said that last time too
>>290204553>xenomorph dagger Nice comfy romance anime...
>>290204340That she's closer to the fireworks?
>>290204519>grow up circusDid I miss an episode Mizuka and Ouka making out with the ojisan?
>>290204575He's my childwife (male), of course.
>saving yuri art despite hating yuritsunderes deserve the rope
>>290204594I feel fucking sick too, but I still have hope anon
>>290204618who are you quoting schizoGOD
>>290204595You keep using this one show because it's the only one that agrees with you while you got raped 20 other times but will never admit it.
>>290204614He confused his fantasies of kissing old men with the show, you know how it is
>>290204508Kek. Imagine if Grace thought Lara was taking too long so she just made her eels play the part.
>>290204618Antiyurifags are mentally ill, what did you expect?
>>290204532Next season doesn't have a single yuri or yuribait show, sister...
this scene was strange right? it seems like his friends were trying to pal around with him and he totally shuts down. i'm a Lisa Luca truther, but temporary mind control of an existing person in the world could also work.this doesnt explain why he looks like the prince, but maybe that coincidence never gets addressed
>>290204618His entire plan is samefagging as le angry yurifags. Poor guy got mindbroken so many times I’m unironically surprised he's still here.
>>290204683this is a show about reincarnation
>>290204646>it's the only one that agrees with youUh, not really
>>290204705DELETE THIS DELE RIGHT NOW!"!!1
>>290204704He's spelled out as definitely not the prince. So this is either a weird coincidence or he was literally created as a false flag to lead Lara astray
So the next ep is the championship correct? What was ep9 again?
>>290204705>Hirolmao, and he was unintentional too
I just hope the leak comes out tomorrow so I can get rid of this pain

Lara is the only one making all the troubles, she's the real villain of the story.
qrd?
>>290204812I love how he always self reports. There are probably plants in my house smarter than that guy.
>>290204841If everyone dies because of her just like the other anons are theorizing, maybe yeah
>>290204758>tfw Lara will be sitting next to her boyfriend Luca and they'll be holding hands while Mari fight in the ringI wanna drop this
The motherfucker director didn't lie saying that would have a lot of conflicts and that wouldn't be easy, that fucker. It's being a wild ride.
>>290204683Grace has been active in this world for quite a while. She was found by Mari as a small fish when Mari was still little. At that time Luca would have also been little. So maybe Grace is contriving this whole Luca situation. She can use magic. Maybe she influenced Luca's birth so that he looks like the prince, and this whole "you need to find your prince" stuff she keeps repeating is for Lara to find Luca who she essentially created to look like the prince. The whole story is fake and controlled by Grace. I'm still interested in what Lisa's game is though. She seems to know that Grace isn't telling the truth about something but we have no idea what her vision of this whole situation would be to fix everything.
okay look at her. she does not care. why are people thinking she will develop feelings out of nowhere?

>>290204674I mean, the Madoka movie is about to come out, so..
>>290205008Madoka was never good.
>>290204965Are you talking about Lara or Grace? Grace is intelligent and is able to control things as we saw in the flashbacks. Obviously Lara has no idea what is going on, if anything. But so far Grace has done basically nothing in the present time. Why is she even a small fish? In the theory I just posted, maybe she exhausted much of her magic powers to influence Luca's birth and so had to use a different, smaller form. Though I don't know how the timing would line up, since Mari finds her in her fish form when she's several years old.
