>two girls start making out in class>nobody else cares
>>290241170No one else is there
>>290241170>racemixingEwww. Japan has gone woke.
>>290241767It's just that weird framing.
>>290241170I cared and cried
>>290241170They're all distracted by two boys doing the same thing on the other side of the room
Kisses are gross, i don't like doing it and i don't like seeing other people doing it
>>290241170That's exactly what your yuri time stopping powers are for.
>>290241767Do you really want to bet?
Seiran died, Mimi laughed.
>>290241767the cameraman
I laughed every time Esther tries to be good it comes off as she trying to hit on a widow.
so how did we feel about this episode, tragic yuri bros?
ah cool, a new Grow Up Circus thread(it had complaints about hard to find threads loleinz)
>>290246228It hurts good.
>you're in a duel>your opp:how do you respond without sounding mad?
>>290241170>one girl fucking dies>nobody else cares
>>290246228it hurts real bad
>>290246582>Ari didn't wear protection
I was really hoping it would have been the more obvious death where Mimi obliterated Seiran in the practice duel or a rematch duel, so that Mimi experiences firsthand what taking a life actually means. But that might have been too cruel, which is probably why they didn't go that route.
>>290241796I count 3 short-haired cutes in this frame
>>290247647Based, cultured man.
>>290246228I can't believe they kept her alive just to have her die in front of Mimi.
Why would anyone care unless they’re girls who enjoy relationship gossip? Caring about intimacy between other people is called being a creepy cuck
>>290247850>Caring about intimacy between other people is called being a creepy cuckyou don't understand the definition of the word cuck
>>290246136Both Esther and Ari are single now
>>290248014A few others I made.
>>290246559They can't mourn everyone on war or else they go mad
>>290248130
>>290241170They usually do it in the girls' restroom, though this can happen too—provided you're in a public school, of course.
how come she turned into dust that long after the spell hit?
>>290241170Because they're in church
>>290248160The spell activates when the person dies, thereby preventing their dead from being used as hostages by the opposing side.
>>290248154
>>290241170Why aren't the boys copulating with the girls constantly?They are all fit and in a high stress situation effectively fated to die in a few years. Better make every second worth it
Did Mimi suddenly forget she can heal people more effectively Fran? I hope there's some kind of follow up on this.
>>290248294Who say they aren't? We see the show through the lesbians's perspective but there may be a lot of het sex going on off-camera
>>290248306Sheena would be sad if Mimi kissed other girls, so Mimi let them die !
>gets warned to be careful>gets on top of a tree and gets sniped
>>290248453pls understand, she just saved someone so she needed to aura farm a bit
Mr Mimi, I don't feel so good...
>>290241170how do you self insert into this as a guy?
>>290248590Just enjoy the show. But don't become a tranny, please. The yuri fandom has too many trannies already
>>290244186Ah, the rest of class were preying
>>290244186>how horny girls get when they can't get a real male around them
>>290248590only mentally ill retards self insert
>>290248590>self insertDon't.
>>290248868
>>290248590Just stick to watching Epstein Tensei bwo
>>290241170I remember this happening a lot. I would just sit there the whole time and stare. It seemed like a totally normal thing until they took my teaching license.
No real thread today?
>>290249875we already finished the real one >>290233219
>>290248306Who was she going to heal? The person who came back looking just as bloody as everyone else, who never even asked for help, even though she could clearly speak?
They were just exchanging their proteins
>>290248590Everyone can feel love and mourn
Mimi twirling in their mock fight was the cutest thing ever.
Would she have survived if she didn't use the combat medicine on the other dumb cunt?
Did the gyaru give her an immortality spell pendant or some shit?
>>290250394she might not have bled out early and lived long enough to get back to the school before dying in front of ari, yes
>>290250422No it was just a death flag.
>Ari-chan Is Interested In Lesbian Brothels!
I miss the watch along thread. How did it go? I held back on spoiling Seiran's death so much, and I really hope anons like it.
>>290241170>nobody else caresThat's the fun part.
>>290246228Just kinda confused.
I FUCKING LOVE TRAGIC YURI OW
Lesbian sex scene was pilot movie original content. There's just implications in the manga,
Mimi>power gap>sensei>Seiran>Sheena>Ari>Faggot Esther>Heather
I wish they would make the death flags less obvious, it would make it for a more interesting story seeing her get slowly more exposed to the many faces of war, getting used to it, have her personality disfigured by it, and just then dying. Or maybe they could have made her regret her decision yet she still has to go. Oh well.
for maximum emotional devastation, here's the letter at the end of the special ED ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ih45BgTUxlA ), which is what was put into the amulet ari made for seiran
>>290248868>Women only want one thing and it's disgusting
>>290251673>for maximum emotional devastationIt was set on stone she would die in this episode so I came prepared, now the scene from last episode of Sheena crying? Now that was impactful.
А на войне, как на войне...Прощай навеки, セイラン.
>>290241170Kissing and skinship is normal for women 3 beers and any women will kiss another stuff like this is just anime being realistic
>>290248590By wanting them to be lesbian with (You).
wtf did I watch
>>290251673>for maximum emotional devastationThis made you emotionally devastated?Holy fuck you zoomers are weak.She had tons of death flags and the scene was portrayed in a comical way.The ED is where I just bursted out laughing. Not even Maeda tries this hard.The direction completely lacks nuance.
>>290246228It was great
>>290252080>She had tons of death flagseven if you know it's coming, sad things are still sad>zoomeri'm 30
>>290252088>i'm 30I'm sorry.
>>290241170soo uhhhhhow is mimi gonna share the news with the girls?
>>290252505If she doesn't, the school will
>>290252505It's self explanatory when she doesn't come back anon
>>290248294>>290248329This isn't Blue Gender
>>290241170Everyone is complaining about the world building but I think the show just kind of sucks. If Seiren was dusted from a wild animal attacking her, it would be no different, the setting frankly doesn't matter since the focus is on the character drama. When you realize that, the entire show becomes hollow, because things are just happening for the purposes of tugging at your heartstrings. Will someone die? Did someone shoot her? It doesn't matter. They're going to die when the plot says they have maximum drama potential to die. That's why there was a comical amount of death flags. It may as well have been her last day before graduation on the day before her early retirement. It's like taking pic related seriously.
>>290252912How dare a show focus on character drama and not the same thing other 500 shows already do.
>>290246136>it comes offShe is hitting on her. She just need to convince Ari to wear a white wig.
>>290246228Great, I love seeing depressed lesbians.
Ari is ripe for the picking. Esther is gonna make her forget her dead lover.
>>290252926It would help if the drama made sense. Just make it make sense. No one would be asking at the end "Wait, how did that happen?"
>>290253009What do you mean? The drama is pretty clear and straightforward, she died fighting
I feel like it should have given her a couple more moments before getting wand'd
>>290244186and this proves OP wrong, as at least two other girls did care
>>290248160it wasn't the enemy spell that turned her into dust, in episode 1 they said that the school themselves put a spell on the body to make them disintegrate when they die, and she didn't die until she came back to camp.
>>290253009What? I can't make sense of your question
>>290251455Yes, but it's based on 14.5, they even have the same clothes.
>>290252080>Holy fuck you zoomers are weak.t. millennial who grew up on Maedaslop.
>>290252080>Not even Maeda tries this hard.He literally did with Yui in Angel Beats and that was a popular anime back then.
>>290253009>basic bitch "war bad/child soldiers bad">doesn't make sense to himI think you might just be a retard.
>>290251542where does the nurse fit in?
>>290241170In antiquity men used to make out like that as a token of greeting
>>290253059>>290253273>>290253345We have this entire world that's about war and child soldiers but we have no idea what the world is like, what the enemy is like, what kind of battles the child soldiers are even fighting. It's genuinely pointless to care about these things because the worldbuilding doesn't matter. It's completely arbitrary. Which makes the drama seem comical.
>>290253408You can care about the characters even if you don't know the contextual background, in fact I would argue that it helps empathize and sympathize with the characters themselves, since I really doubt they know more than we do about the war. Remember Seiran reason for fighting, for instance: she wanted to pay back the school for saving her from a life of poverty and prostitution. That's the worldbuilding that has real value right now. The rest, if necessary, will be probably explored in the future
Speaking of worldbuilding, why is the war happening?who the fuck attacks a school?Is the school evil?
>>290253672>>290253622From what I infer from the anime, we don't know who the enemy is but the war has been going on for a very long time (Mimi has been fighting for decades or even longer). We know the war is not going well because the enemy is getting closer to the school.Also, I read spoilers in the previous threads, apparently, the school is being targeted because it protects the book of forbidden magic where you can find how to resurrect people and make them immortal like Mimi, or something like that.
>>290251573>>29025167380% of her characterization was in this episode alone, man. It was cheap shock value at best.
>>290253740What? Not really.We already knew everything about Seiran before the last episode, except maybe for her reason for fighting, which makes sense, since she wasn't fighting before
>>290253740That's par for the course in a short series. You can even say that a character getting exposition is in itself a death flag.
>>290253408That's like the whole fucking point, retard.
>>290252080>Holy fuck you zoomers are weak.Yup, practically ruined the internet.
Who's going to take care of this beautiful young lady now? Don't fucking say Esther, she's an opportunistic hussy.
>>290254269Esther is gonna make her feel better and then make her dye her hair white.
>>290254269Esther, unless you want the useless fuck Seiran saved to honor her memory by putting a baby inside Ari.
>>290241170Should of had a saliva trail for extra intimacy.
So, who is next on the chopping block?
>>290254317__(you)__
>>290241170no tongue?
>>290254317Mimi, followed by Mimi, followed by Mimi.
>>290254242I was more sad for Ari than Seiran...Can you imagine? Having to live without the love of your life because she HAD to farm aura after volunteering to fight in a war?Hopefully Esther will keep her company at night...
>>290254327You don't tongue your other half in front of others, that's done in private.
>>290254382only zoomers think that
>>290254269One of the male students will take care of her good.
>>290254565They can't, they are too busy using healing magic on their bros.
>>290241795shes okinawan!
>>290252935And Ari will tell Esther to wear a black wig.
>>290253320At least he makes nice music.This series hasn't had a single memorable track so far.
>>290252942>I love seeing depressed lesbians.I know, there's something great about that, like eating a fancy meal.
>>290254797Don't engage with spastic zoomers.
>>290254797I like the openingAITAAAAAI KIMI NII AITAAAAAI
>>290253408Anon, you're genuinely so fucking retarded and autistic for this take. None of the soldiers in this war are fighting for... whatever the war is supposed to be about. They're fighting for their and their loved ones' survival. That's the point.
>>290254700Based bros before hoes soldiers
>>290255028Ironically, Seiran did not fight to protect her closed ones, nor to survive herself. She fought to "pay back the school". Or, at least, that's why she volunteered. Only later did she realize that protecting people and surviving to go back to her loved ones was the most important thing. But, in that case, she should never have volunteered in the first place.
>>290242287holy shit you're literally melet's kiss
>>290255028>and their loved ones' survivalMay we see them? May we see the danger these loved ones are in? May we hear about invasions, bombings, threats to the world outside the school? Or if you simply mean the loved ones at school, well that gets even easier. Do you know what happens when soldiers are simply fighting for their own survival? They desert. May we see that? May we see the consequences of being caught, the hopeful whispers about the ones that got away, the dreams of a little white cottage in a land untouched by war? When anons say they're disappointed in the lack of worldbuilding they don't mean a map with 100s of chatGPT named cities and a wiki article on wookie sex. They mean addressing the inevitable questions when you think about the characters and conflict. They can be simple answers that shut down any line of questioning as many dystopian series have done. But the story isn't even interested in that. And that's why it struggles to do more in nearly a decade of serialization than have everyone mope around and die when the plot needs a sacrifice to keep feeling like there are stakes.
>>290255206You might be retarded. All of these questions doesn't matter. Literally none of this have anything to do the children story. Knowing why Serian died won't change anything, because this specific war itself is irrelevant, this could be any war, and the situation would be the same. I don't even like the show, but this is a fucking basic bitch writing technique that have been used in other stories before. This is unironically a zoomer behaviour.
>>290254348It's not like she wouldn't have been sent to fight soon anyway. If you listen to the announcements throughout the show, the regular calls start from class 15, Seiran was sent to the battlefield just one year early.
>>290255496>Seiran was sent to the battlefield just one year early.That's not irrelevant.That's 1 year of training she didn't have.That's 1 year of wild yuri sex with Ari that never happened, man
>>290255206The very first image of the very first episode is a young girl dying, bloodied and alone, in a forest.This sets the tone and stakes.We see Mimi coming back in pieces again and again in a fucking bag.You don't need explosions or invasions to understand how brutal the war is.They are fighting so that their loved ones don't have to. And in the case of the orphans, their only loved ones are the other orphans at school.
>>290255496A whole year of combat training irl does a lot more than you think.
>>290241170bro shes 14
>>290255591So?
Why isn't Haru paired with anyoneIs she meant to be the third wheel to Sheena and Mimi
plot doko?
>>290255622stop sexualing children
>>290255652She's legal where I live buddy
>unironic HET used goodsdropped this turd
damn I've never seen such a blatant red flag being set upI didnt like this bitch anywayI wish the blonde slut was gone too btwI fucking hate these two sluts
>>290255688You're trying too hard.
>>290255693trying what?i dont like how always pissed off this bitch isand the blonde aloof gyaru is just boring
>>290255702>gyaruYou don't even know what that word means.Gyaru ≠ blonde and tan.Also, Seiran is not a bitch, never was, you would know that had you watched the anime.
>>290255720seiran glared at mimi openly and ari had to rein her in (in the first episodes) and she always looks like she has something stuck up her arseits a fact>uhrr shes not gyarugyarubait>oh no she doesnt polish her nails or wears like a slut so she isnt!!brolol
>>290255732Okay now you're trolling
>>290255668It says 小使い in JPIt means she cleans and cooks for the prostitutes, not serving the customers
>>290255737but who knows man? maybe she was also cleaning customers' cocks?
sooo the PV slam clamming on the bed was all bait???
>>290255591out of 10!
>>290255668What's wrong if they had sex with a man in the past?
>>290255787They're ruined, used goods if you will
>>290255787i know that ameritards are used to having used goods as their companionsbut in the real 1st world, virginity has actual valueand used goods aint gonna cut itcuck
>>290255811They are fictional characters. It's not like they will have sex with you.
>>290255828>accepting used goods in fictional mediaa new level of cuckoldry
>>290255828Still ruined used goods, and that impacts her value as character.She will be known as the used goods lesbian, not a loyal, faithful companion
>>290255688>she made it back..>PSYCHE>she actually got fucked up next engagement LOL!!!!>but wait shes back at the camp with mim so everything is daijobu..>BUT NO WAIT>SHE ACTUALLY DISINTEGRATED IN FRONT OF HER LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO XDDDlmao broswho wrote this again? I'm supposed to care for whom? it's like the author was trying to dramabaitmaxxxx but it's so fucking silly how it happened that I could only laugh lmao.get fucked seiran
>>290255872Go back, write like a normal person next time at least
>>290255897no rebuttal then? lol
>>290255966
>>290255979sora no woto is a masterpiece compared to the shitty writing im seeing here tho
>>290255990>sora no woto is a masterpieceI agree with you on that at least
>>290256001true that, AIJOU YUUJO liven rent free on my head for the past 10 years unironically
>didn't cry on her death scene but was in tears on this scene because I knew what was comingDamn
>>290256315Yeah I still feel pretty bad for poor Ari.If anything, the director showed well how much they loved each other
>every Japanese anime viewers are amazed by the death>every Western anime viewers say they saw that coming from a mile awayDo Japanese anime fans lack media literacy?
https://x.com/MMMbluefilm/status/2089783169109381151
>>290255096Thank you for explaining that you did not understand what you were watching.>>290255206>When anons say they're disappointed in the lack of worldbuilding they don't mean a map with 100s of chatGPT named cities and a wiki article on wookie sex.Incorrect. This is exactly what they mean. That is why you cannot name even one of these "questions" that desperately needs to be answered for us to be able to sympathize with the characters. They don't exist. You're just being retarded.
>>290256421>Do Japanese anime fans lack media literacy?Unironically yes
Did she use her tongue? LEWD
>>290256447>Thank you for explaining that you did not understand what you were watching.Explain
>>290256421No, because unlike what some people here think, you CAN feel sad for something you expected to happen. The whole "I know something sad is gonna happen, so I don't attachment anymore to this character" is a western mindset.
>>290256491It's a wrong mindset.You know your parents will die, that doesn't mean you won't be sad when that happens...
>>290256489Nta, but the whole "she fought to repay the school" was just Sheena's assumption, and while it's still part of her motive, Seiran make it clear that her top priority was always to fight for Ari sake. She is fighting so that Ari won't have to fight.
>>290256515You're right, i stand corrected.
>sad for stuck uppity bitchlol
did anyone even feel sad at seiran's death? she just stood on a tree without any cover in the middle of a warzone and was just speedrunning through death flags. the ending got me though, I thought they managed to save her
>>290256841I did.More for Ari than Seiran though, it was still a shame
>>290256841>the ending got me thoughit was non-sensical and done to bait the viewer/reader>she was le fatally inured>she is along her mates>but she doesnt even collapse, she just fucking TURNS INTO ASHlol
>>290256791they revealed later that she is actually the hot headed tomboy of the pair
>no seiran dont go to war until you're older and stronger>NO I WILL GO TO WAR NOW!
>>290256867>but she doesnt even collapse, she just fucking TURNS INTO ASHAlready explained in the first episode, maybe watch the show you are whining about.
>>290256935Ah, to be young, bold and reckless again!
>>290256957Go back to bed, grandpa.
>>290256956You do realize he only goes to these threads to shit them up, right?
she could have survived if she moved as a group with someone instead of venturing off on her own and getting complacent AFTER being told to be on her guard
>>290257012In a way it's to be expected, she was young and inexperienced
>>290257032everyone was telling her it was a bad idea but she didn't listen. did the manga explain why she couldn't just stop when she realized she wasn't ready after the first deployment?
>>290257080Eager to prove herself I suppose, which is not unrealistic
It's a shame Mimi didn't have Seiran's back or try to help her out there. I guess once she's in beast mode Mimi doesn't think about anyone else.
>>290254269>EstherDon't say that name I don't like that name.
>>290257207They were in different groups.
>>290257211I love this fatty and her flabby belly.
>>290253740putting seiran's death aside, it's still fucking sad and depressing, just put yourself in ari's shoes - her best friend and lover is gone, never to return
>>290255591was
>>290256491it's actually even sadder seeing certain things they do knowing they're about to die
>>290253682>We know the war is not going well because the enemy is getting closer to the school.How powerful is these enemy forces are we talking here.Are they immortal just like Mimi and others?
>has cute caring gf>have sex every night>goes to war??
>>290257567>I le have to le pay back le orphanage for... reasons!!!!!!
>>290257352>just put yourself in ari's shoes - her best friend and lover is gone, never to returntheir only option was to prison break, otherwise it's naive to think they can ride out this war or whatever it is without getting drafted while getting taught murder spells.
>>290257454they aren't
>>290241170I remember in high school I gave my girlfriend a smooch on the cheek when I saw her, before class startedit was an all girls school with religious staff, but the teachings were agnostic, and we both got expelled
I read the manga so I knew what was coming but it still got me a bit. The worst thing is how they actually managed to find her and "heal" her enough so that she could walk on her own, but nobody bothered to check up on her? Where are the field medics? She probably died because of internal bleeding, which your average rank and file soldier probably can't fix but a trained medic could have saved her.Also, I have an issue with the tactics the school uses. Why form units at all if they all go solo, making it convenient and easy for the enemy to ambush and pick them off one by one? It's like they want to keep losing people. Seiran especially, as a rookie, should have been assigned to partner someone experienced (probably not Mimi) so she could learn the ropes and have someone watching her back so she doesn't do stupid things like stand on top of a tree basking in the sunlight.
>>290257671You sure, then why are they winning this war?
>>290257615No, not for "reasons", the school saved her from a life of abuse and poverty and allowed her to, indirectly, meet Ari.She owes everything to the school, or at least she felt so
>>290257742Mimi can't be everywhere, and she isn't invincible.
>>290257658Things could have gone differently has Seiran waited 1 more year.She could have become stronger, maybe Ari could have joined her.
>>290257736Methinks there are "reasons" why they're losing the war, i.e terrible management and tactics.As they said, they don't give a fuck about throwing orphans in the meat grinder
>>290257736>The worst thing is how they actually managed to find her and "heal" her enough so that she could walk on her own, but nobody bothered to check up on hersome anon said it was implied she just got up on her own and waddled out of there on sheer willpower to see her waifu again, and then ran out of anime willjuice. Which would be the saddest thing of it all for me.
>>290257964I think that's what happened as well.Reminds me of Minowa Gin dying standing up
>>290257993dead people functioning on willpower is one of those anime things of oh damn Roy it's gonna rain again isn't it
>>290257964That's even more fucked then. Nobody asks the rookie who is clearly looking injured and in pain if she needs first aid?Shit, which side am I supposed to support in this war again?
>>290258049Yeah I'm a sucker for that stuff.Fun fact, the idea of "dying standing up" comes from Benkei's death, a warrior-monk who died without falling but standing on his naginata as a support
>>290258088The things is, no one actually noticed her dying, only Mimi.And as soon as the noticed, she passed away
>>290257852the nurse literally told her that the best way to pay the school back would be to stay safe or something
>>290257852good goydie for the (((orphanage)))
>>290258150>>290258164Yeah but that's not what Seiran believed
>>290258200seiran's a R word
>>290258218A raging lesbian?
>>290258108it's just shitty writing and yuri drama for the sake of itlike you could've wrote the death in a much better way, but instead it had to be compounding shitty writing decisions on top of each other.
>>290258227I enjoyed it desu and I understand Seiran's motivation
>>290258242I also understand her motivation, as these kids have been brainwashed into just being expandable pawns in this senseless war. I get it.But her death scene specifically was written badly, like she could be saved if EVERYONE and I mean literally everyone and herself weren't fucking retarded/oblivious, everyone is incompetent. But this is 100% not what the author was going for. This is all set dressing for this faggot to write about muh yuri drama/loss.
>>290255759It's happening in the flashback. Probably the next episode.
>>290258267i'm pretty sure she wasn't thinking properly on account of losing 90% of her bloodshe crawled back to base camp, but no one else saw her on the way and she finally died before being able to ask for help, but at that point it still would have been too lateyes it was unfortunate
eh what I didn't like was the way she died. she looked like she was just sightseeing and then got surprised when she got hit at a blindspot
>the scene from the trailer is actually Esther having sex with Ari.
>>290258351Anons in previous threads said the anime fucked it up, she wasn't actually on top of a tree but lower, covered by the vegetation.
>>290258391what the fuck. that would have been a lot better
>>290258267There are 2 things to consider.1) Seiran was losing tons of blood, the only thing on her mind was Ari, she probably wasn't even able to think about asking for help.2) The forest was huge, her allies were scattered and most of them injured.When she got back "to camp" alone though sheer willpower only Mimi saw her and, by then, she was too far gone.An avoidable tragedy but such is war
>>290258430my dumb ass thought seiran was already dead and mimi saw her ghost manifested through sheer willpower, that's why no one else noticed her
>>290258398She was also crouching like usual
I read the manga, why is the story such a nothing burger?
The organizational side of the school's war effort seems to be shoddy. They have no medical supplies or medics ready at the staging area? So injured combatants have to not only make it back there but then also survive the trek back to school before getting real medical attention beyond just emergency first aid.And as someone pointed out, these tactics are only suitable for Mimi. Really they should be moving in groups of 2-3 people at least, a lone fighter is so easy to ambush in a wooded area, it's absolutely suicidal.
>>290258768IT IS JUST LE TRAGEDY OF LE WAR!!!STOP THINKING!!!!!!!!
>>290258792Do you really need to keep doing this? We all know you only come here to shitpost because it's a yuri series.
>>290258833It's always funny seeing how yuri mindbreaks him every time.
>>290258768As an anime only my guess is that the higher-ups really see these orphans as expendable meat for the war, they don't want to invest resources in keeping them alive. Or maybe medics are just that rare and valuable and they cannot afford to allocate more than one for the school (the nurse).Alternatively, the war is going so bad for them that they simply don't have any more medics.Concerning the tactics, they are divided in "teams" before the battle starts. What happens after, though, I don't know. They don't seem to have a superior officer with the task of keeping soldiers in formation or giving orders, so you can imagine how that turns out...Battles seem very much to be a free for all, maybe because they're fighting in a fucking forest of all places
Be like Mimi and try to get along...
>>290259319>Battles seem very much to be a free for all, maybe because they're fighting in a fucking forest of all placesThis is crazy when you consider they are fighting a defensive war to protect the school. Yet there is a complete lack of any kind of defensive structures, no traps, and seemingly no particular emphasis on ambush tactics.They are just sent to blindly rush into a thick forest, rather than take up defensive positions and ambush the advancing troops.
>>290260033I agree with you, it's dumb, and probably the reason why they're losing the war.We don't know all the details though, maybe they have a good reason
>>290260033>>290258768More like poor writing.>>290258792Seriously, thinking is for redditors. I like to watch with my brain turned off and jerk off to the Yuri scenes.
>>290260247>We don't know all the details though,Because there aren't any. It's a lake a single inch deep but a mile wide. The show is really saying that it just doesn't respect its viewers enough to answer some basic questions about why this is happening in the first place.
>>290260247Realistically, I think it's the case of the author just not knowing how to write about those kinds of things. The entire magic system is very bare bones, you would need to figure that out before even starting to think about battlefield tactics. It's not the focus of this manga. But it does make it easy to poke holes if you even think a little bit logically.
This could've been cool like 86.
>>290260470Personally I really like the mystery and I'm glad the author is not explaining stuff yet, it wouldn't be half as fun if we already knew everything from the start. It puts you in the shoes of the characters because I'm sure they don't know anything either.It's also fun to theorize with /a/nons.I think this anime is just not for you
>>290260480Well I hope the author had some kind of idea.Although, personally, I don't mind it
>>290241170It's the same old story, standards of sexual behaviour going out the window the moment the relationship is homosexual
>>290260528I finished watching 86 yesterday, it was great, I'm hoping for S2 someday
>>290246228its a fake out, she gets resurrected next episode
>>290254269She is gonna resurrect Seiran using the pendant by sacrificing herself, Seiran will be a new immortal. (im just making up spoilers)
>>290259319>As an anime only my guess is that the higher-ups really see these orphans as expendable meat for the war.So far it feels more like plain badly written incompetence rather than any malice like it was in 86.Unless the entire neighbouring area with civilian towns is staged and high command lies to orphanage staff too.>>290260758>>290260844Wait a minute, what if body disintegration spell is actually forced on combatants to prevent resurrections?
>>290260958I think they just don't care about sending orphans to die. To the higher ups, they're probably simply expendable.>to prevent resurrections?I don't think so because you have to have the right magic to ressurect people (like Mimi's mom) and the spell to resurrect is a closely guarded secret.I think it's more so they don't capture their body. Why would they do that? I don't know desu, maybe to experiment on them?
Is this the episode 3 guy from the Botan threads?
Speaking of which, why dont the enemies just capture body parts of Mimi after they cut her to pieces?
Ari is going to power up now, right? She won't commit suicide, right?
I knew that dark hair was done for as soon as I saw the new girl hang around brown like a vulturethey could have been more subtle about it and save the widows bonding for later
>>290261168The body parts disappear after a while
Why don't they just nuke the forest?
>>290261489I guess things are not that desperate yet (even though it seems like they are).But yes, setting the forest on fire would make it extremely hard for the enemy to advance, with very little cover available.
>>290251673The lucky charm was in reverse mode
>>290261489Fran molest students in there.
>>290261354>widows bondingEsther just wants to groom her kouhai.
The more I think about it, the more I do not want the conflict explained. Why they're fighting, who they're fighting against, who they're fighting for, any of it. It's clear the point of the show is that war itself, at some point, becomes meaningless. What matters is who it affects, and how. To place concrete ideas behind the war is to actively undermine the themes of the work.
>>290265556I can get behind your interpretation, yes.I'd prefer the background to remain ambiguous too, a bit of mystery is always welcome
>>290265556I agree, but I wish they would find a less stupid way to show it than uncoordinated skirmishes in some random part of the woods.
>>290258088>Shit, which side am I supposed to support in this war again?Neither. This is a "war is bad" story. You're supposed to feel for the people getting hurt by it. The civilians, the children, the soldiers (on both sides), and especially in this case, the literal child soldiers.
>>290266403bro ur supposed to just enjoy the yuri and not think too hard about why stuff its happeningjust enjoy the yuri tears and make up sex
>>290246228too tragic
>>290258384Was she wearing a wig?
>>290268587She was roleplaying as Seiran for Ari, yes
>>290268638Why didn't Ari wear a white wig then? Selfish bitch.
>>290268690Esther likes Ari more
>>290260844It would be complicated without a body; for that reason, the orphanage authorities cast a self-destruction spell on the orphans upon their death to prevent their companions or partners from sacrificing their lives to bring them back—though there is another method to do so, and the answer is the same: FMC.
>ehehe I made it back>disintegrateswow kino writing lmao
>>290246228The emotional manipulation was so dishonest that I couldn't even feel sad. The sappy piano music, the flashbacks, it was just being laid on too thick.
>>290270274she was also walking around with multiple deathflags for the past 3 episodes or soand anons in these threads saying things like "is IT gonna happen in this episode?"
I wasnt expecting her to die this episode, maybe in 2 more after she got some confidence.why do they turn to dust when they die? I thought it was the magic attacks but clearly its not just that.
let this shit thread die just like the girl, let this be a lesson to having two livewatch threads
>>290270274Every piece of media manipulates you, uncultured swine. Seiran deserves mocking though for being too weak and gay, and daydream about her wife too much.
>>290270274This desuHer whole death was so forced
>>290260528This anime surpasses 86 though. I hear the author hinted that Kurena is a lesbian
When will Esther and Ari fuck?
>>290271523widow-orgy next episode.
>>290271523Sheena is getting the flags now. Would be actually interesting if the author kills her off now, but I think she's going for visual age-gap end.
Mimi, tell Esther to fuck my wife please.
What are the odds Sheena is going to thank Seiran for dying next episode, since it'll inevitably help Mimi grow mentally so that Sheena can wife her?
>>290272983Sheena isn't that tactless. But deep down she will think that.
>>290241170why should they care when they've done it themselves and have watched countless others do it?
>>290272594But don't forget to tell her to wear a black wig.
>>290271723Sheena can't die until the last chapter. MC privilege
>>290270274>The emotional manipulation was so dishonestThat's every piece of media that try to be emotional.
>>290258768You wouldn't be allowed to live in their universe, using your brain and all.
>>290267600This is how I felt about it. It hits the "darkness induced audience apathy" threshold for me. The school being an orphan mulching machine is something I can accept, but why are they so stupid about it? Why bother raising a special wizard super soldier and then send them into battle clearly before they are even remotely close to being ready so they can die? Why would they waste their own resources? Why? Because the nature of the orphan mulching machine clearly doesn't actually matter, it doesn't exist to be questioned, it exists to mulch orphans. It is tragic not so it can say anything, it is tragic purely for the sake of being tragic. I have not read the manga, but I know how this is gonna go on. In a better piece of media perhaps the students would question the nature of the orphan mulching machine, rebel, and splatter the people who run the orphan mulching machine against the walls, but that isn't gonna happen. The orphan mulching must go on, because if it didn't the characters wouldn't have anything to be sad about.
>>290279606I agree with your post but I will give the benefit of the doubt to the author still, we don't know enough yet concerning the nature of the school and the war.And, honestly, I'm enjoying this anime a lot regardless
>>290271475>I hear the author hinted that Kurena is a lesbianWHAT?Explain please
>>290280629most unfunny post in /a/ currently
>>290281240the sad part is it actually isn't
moronic show
>>290283971but its gay, so us yuribros have to be content with these scraps and pretend like the content is good to mega cope about the state of yuri
>>290283971See you next week
>>290283971>moronic showWake me up when you gonna write the same sentence to all other shows airing this season aside of maybe around 5-6 titles which are ok, or to any harem show with male MC ever created, then I'm gonna agree with you.
>>290279606>Why bother raising a special wizard super soldier and then send them into battle clearly before they are even remotely close to being ready so they can die?This is very dishonest framing though. The only reason you think she wasn't ready is because she died. She was sent on an "easy" mission first, got a kill, came back home. On her second mission, she seemed to be doing fine. She even saved another person. And then she got sniped. Because shit happens.
>>290285198Why are you here?If you don't like the anime you could just leave, you know
>>290285282I like the 2 mins of actual yuri being shown on screen and how mimi is mega retardedim getting the scraps I came forthe other '''yuri''' shit airing this season is all yuribait so......... well :)
When did yurifags of /a/ turn on Kimishinu?
>>290286330When the other animes they were shilling (Lara and Grow up show) turned out to be yuribait.Due to jealousy, they turned on the only real yuri show of the season.In-fighting has always been a problem among yurifags (i.e., if the can't have nice things, no one should)
>>290286385I heard about Lara but what happened to GUS? Last I heard they had a side couple, one of whom also calls the main duo a couple and got tsukomi'ed by someone else
>>290286462The side couple is not explicit just "implied" (no kiss).They introduced a male character all girls loved (as in respected) in the last episode and you know yurifags, male characters are a big nono.The main potential couple (the main 2 girls) are still far from being more than acquaintances so, yeah
>>290248762>healthy yuri enjoyerGood. Thank you.
>>290286330Did people turn on it, or is it just like every single other thread on this board, meaning there has to be one resident schizo who has to join every thread just sling shit around for attention?
People forget one thing, most actual yurifags read this manga ages ago and they know exactly what gonna happen, so what is there really to discuss left for them?Nothing, but with Lara as original go they don't fucking know what gonna happen next episode so the excitement or disappointment is kept on tight leash.
>>290287732>it just like every single other thread on this board, meaning there has to be one resident schizo who has to join every thread just sling shit around for attention?This, 99% of people in Kimishinu threads engage in civil conversation with valid critiques. There's just 1 or 2 anon trolling, baiting and overall being shitty
>>290287866>but with Lara as original go they don't fucking know what gonna happen next episode so the excitement or disappointment is kept on tight leash.That's true, but that causes Lara threads to be almost unbearable at times, especially right after the episode airs
>>290271114He mentions the dishonesty of it retard, not the fact that it exists.
>>290284335Did you even watch the episode? The whole point of the 1v1 against mimi was a stunt by big titted nurse to show the higher ups that she was NOT ready. To which the higher ups replied: "yeah but she wants to so oh well, we'll send her to the meat grinder kek".
>>290249099Yeah, and the thing is, those maletrons won't self-insert when the MC is an object or an animal, like in the anime about the sword, the vending machine, the pig, skeleton or the space octopus. Basically, the character has to meet their standards for a human male so they can project themselves onto him; otherwise, they feel pretty uncomfortable. That’s because most of those fags aren't capable of enjoying a manga or anime simply from the viewer's perspective.
Jokes aside you can self insert as the guy that picks up Kagami-san's corpse, sometimes even nakedOr the Dumbledore looking guy in charge of the school
>>290289807The nurse will always think everyone isn't ready. That's her whole character, she's against sending children into war, in case you didn't notice. Seiran was top of her class, and it looked like she was able to hold her own against Mimi for a while (although that was because she was holding back). Ari even said it was odd she hadn't been sent earlier. It's definitely not clear-cut that sending her out was an obvious mistake.
>>290286552>and you know yurifags, male characters are a big nono.Only one particular one. The rest of us don't care because he's like a father figure to them.
>>290295282The vocal minority can ruin the fun for everyone else, as always
I want to be groomed by Mimi.
>>290264568They may question his methods, but not his results.
>>290286385People watching Laura should've known what they were getting into, and yet they can still get their yuri end. Anyway p/u/rity always wins. Shoo, shoo, bi fish (bish).
I’ll introduce a good series for anime fans who aren’t “cool.”Gunka no Baltzar is a manga about modern war. It can be contrasted with Kimi Shinu in every way.First, both authors like homosexuality.In Gunka no Baltzar, the main character is a hero who fights on the battlefield and changes the war a lot.In Kimi Shinu, the main character does not fight on the battlefield and does not change the war at all.Gunka no Baltzar has royalty who decide the future of the country.Kimi Shinu has no important military officers or even commanders.Gunka no Baltzar is a military story.Kimi Shinu is a fantasy about people in very low positions.Do you understand?The important point is this: in real wars, most people cannot affect the war.
>>29026052886 was really good
>>290299709Sounds fun. Who's his boyfriend?
>>290299709He looks like that commie mage from Youjo Senki.
I notice Kimishinu gets a lot of fanart made by women in Japan compared to previous yuri shows. Is this the power of lolicon?
>>290300414Women cannot resist the allure of this adorable little girl either? Pretty based.
>>290300414Yes, stuff like Watatabe and Kimishinu are for women, that's one of the reasons they collaborated. They wanna cuddle and protect the mc's.
man after we had the best yuri anime of all time air (watanare) now everything else feels like crapSAD!
>>290241170it's just practice, i used to do this with my sister now both of us are married
>>290241795
>>290302199Congratulations! Where is this legal?
>>290284209I have read the first chapters of the manga and I think it is better than the anime.For example Seiran's death is less idiotic.In the manga she gets equally sniped but at least it doesn't happen three seconds after being warned by her superior.But the flaws are still there.All the war is a great mess. The battles make no sense. The students sit on a cliff, chatting in pairs, then they are called in groups as if they are about to enter a museum during a school trip. Then they enter a forest separate ways and not as a unite platoon.They go here and there, up and down, killing enemies wearing a cape which is identical to their own (in the anime; in the manga "our" capes are very dark whereas the enemy's are black).There are no positions to be conquered or to be defended.Then Seiran is hit. In the manga she manages to reach her comrades who were about to go back; she is injured but doesn't ask for assistance and dies. In the anime she is found by her comrades, she is brought back to the camp and despite having a big big hole in the chest, she tries to go back on her feet and dies. Oh, but the battle is over and the other soldiers go back like after a football match. We don't even know which side won.Another stupid thing: setting aside the fact that if the school is a training facility, it is rather inconvenient to move the active combatants each time (they shuld leave the school for their assigned destination), why they draft different numbers of people each time? It seems that they know beforehand how many people will be displayed by the enemy, so if there are 10 enemies they send a dozen?Test is stupid. Did anybody have to pass a final test in Full Metal Jacket? You are trained and sent to war. The roommate should have simply failed on purpose her test.I have more but for now is enough
KimiShinu can be firmly declared as a work that correctly depicts war among anime works, standing alongside the First Gundam. This is because the essence of war is a gamble that uses other people’s lives.
>>290302661The manga is better because it doesn't have to be an anime. The anime adds a ton of action stuff because the story is really 98% girls walking around and talking to each other in a school, and that doesn't work in an anime that needs a little more mainstream appeal.Nothing about the war or the magic is explained, so you can't really analyze the tactics or anything without just making assumptions. But if it looks stupid, then it looks stupid, and that could be a problem for people who care about that stuff, I guess.
>>290241170Are there any anime where girls can get pregnant from kissing
>>290286385>In-fighting has always been a problemI want to maximize my viewing of cute girls so I end up picking up yuri and """yuribait""" shows even if I don't take the gayness seriously. Without fail there's at least one fag causing a ruckus or throwing shade at other lesbo series. Why are you nerds like this?
>>290303373I dig how Seiran was dispatched, no epic stand off against the enemy or even protecting someone, just sniped by a faceless wand woman. Widow destroyed, mimi confused, tactless Esther trying to woo Ari. Like real life.
>>290248014Have you ever imagined what their battles in bed would be like?
>>290299709Does it have any yuri romance or subtext elements?
https://youtu.be/OANr12jHY1INext episode is dedicated to the courageous and unyielding yuri shahid of this season.
>>290304538>Widow destroyed, mimi confused, tactless Esther trying to woo Ari. Like real life.Wait, one of these sounds wrong...
>>290299709Why is homosexuality so rampant in the military?
>>290307256heterosexuality is banned because someone might get pregnant.
>>290304993I reckon wands are involved in that too
>>290302661>In the anime she is found by her comradesI don't think that's the case.It's a bit confusing in the anime but I think the voices you hear after she falls are already those of the people waiting to go home at their "base"I intrepreted that scene as Seiran standing up alone through sheer willpower and walking all the way to the base without receiving any treatment
>>290241795Yeah, but you have to admit that dark-haired girls look hotter.
>>290255787Then she would just be another whore.
>>290304021Ok but if you decide to expand the war element, you shold put some effort in make it belivable.They are depicted as if they roam the forest, searching for enemies as single units.The wounded comrade is alone and one enemy, alone, is about to kill him (at least in the manga there were 3 enemies); Seiran arrives running, alone, from somewhere, kills the enemy and treats the injured; then a superior arrives, alone, from somewhere and takes the guy back (without giving her even one potion). It's probably due to save on production costs but the result is disheartening.Even the atmosphere at school is wrong. There should be pain and fear everywhere but the students seems to not care (almost) at all.Fact is that the war is just a pretext to kill the characters at will. If you're ok with this, I won't complain.Even Mimi is dealt in a sloppy way.Having a completely retarded mass destruction weapon is fine in a comedy, not in a "serious" drama. But let's assume that her superiors can effectively keep her at leash in a way or another, why there isn't an entire elite team ready to track her body as soon as she gets dimembered by the enemy due to her incorrigibile recklesness? She is the most important and secret asset: the two parts should furiously fight over her remains to secure them. But the enemy doesn't care and our side sends one single man to pick up her scattered limbs, shove them in a bag (while she is still alive and suffering atrocious pain) and then toss the suffering blob in front of the nurse's office. Very well conceived.
>>290308571Ah. That may be true but the fact is that she is severely wounded but her comrades, after a brief treatment leave her alone and no one cares if she stands up again; is that the way to deal with the wounded? No medics even in the rear? No stretchers?
>>290310968I don't even think anyone but Mimi saw her before she died.>is that the way to deal with the wounded? No medics even in the rear? No stretchers?Granted, this is absolute bullshit and it's no surprise they're losing the war.To their defense, though, medics and healing magic in general are very rare (there's only the nurse in the entire school), so maybe that's the reason.Medicines are also clearly very limited.Maybe the have stretches, but since no one saw Seiran, they didn't use them
>>290310799The war is the background against which characters live and play their role.So far, the war hasn't been explored at all (in the anime), as the focus is elsewhere.We also don't know enough about Mimi or why she's not rebelling, but I think this will be the main topic the future. Remember, mentally she's still very immature, he probably didn't even think that the way they are treating her was wrong
>>290241170If I were an instructor at that orphanage, knowing full well what awaits them, I’d even let them fuck in class.
>>290310799bro ur supposed to turn ur brain off and pretend its a great work of art and writing and that people are just too low IQ in this world to know better.stop fucking asking question and enjoy the yuri
>>290248154she sacrificed his life, and Sheena didn't even give her a kiss on the cheek.
>>290311666Is she older? Why is Sheena with an older girl instead of someone in her class
https://x.com/anime_kimishinu/status/2090770904397836497sakuga... kino...
>>290310799Your criticisms would feel a lot more warranted if it weren't for the fact that you just assume that what you've seen so far is literally all there is to it. No one has explained the tactics they use in depth? That must mean there are no tactics. (To be fair, that's probably true. The author just want them to fight alone in a forest because it looks cool.)Some guy comes back with Mimi in a bag once? That means that happens literally every time, and it's always just the same person, and for some reason it proves that the enemy doesn't even look for her? I really don't understand why you'd assume that. You know that the bodies of the dead disappear. Why wouldn't you assume the same thing happens to Mimi, and the magic brings her back in some place where they can safely fetch her?Why would they need to keep Mimi on a leash? She likes being useful. She thinks what she's doing is good. It's the only life she's ever known. The atmosphere at the school is wrong? They all think that this is normal. The war has been going on for decades, apparently. It has always been there for these kids.
>>290311828Loved the fight coreography, it reminded me of Toji no Miko for how smooth it was
>>290311143>medics are rareEven magicians are rare (or they wouldn't use 14 yo lads). Send normal people to take care of them, they're precious.>medicines are limitedIt's not stated or implied but even if true, it should be the bare minimum to leave at least one potion to the person who used his stock to save a comrade and is left on the battlefield.>No one has seen herIn the manga is true thas she seems to arrive (but it's strange theta there is absolutely no one who thake cares of peole coming back from the battle); in the anime someone treats her and sayonara.>>290311180I know that the war is the background; the problem is that is a terrible background.>the war hasn't been exploredWe have just seen a very improbable battle take place.Moreover, in a previous ep, the general staff, while deciding how to deal with two particularly difficult positions of the map (a map we cannot see because it's a pain in the ass to draw), they went something like:Exec 1 "We send 9 kids here and 5 there"Exec 2 "I wonder how many will die..."Exec 3 "And the enemy's counterattacks are becoming fiercer..."Exex 1 "But the country pushes to use magic orphans because they are more effective than normal soldiers"Exec 3 "But they're children!"Exec 1 "Ok. So let's send mimi instead of the 5 brats and if she finishes it quckly she can also take the place of the other nine and conquer the other position"School principal "we always rely on mimi"Exec1 "Shikata ga nai".Then they switch topic...This is the way they wage war. If you think is a good one, I you suggest to send your curriculum vitae to the U.S army: in this day and age, you would be destined for a brilliant career.>>290311644I know you're right but simply I can't
>>290312759>This is the way they wage war. If you think is a good one, I you suggest to send your curriculum vitae to the U.S army: in this day and age, you would be destined for a brilliant career.There is a reason they're losing the war, they're just that incompetent>in the anime someone treats her and sayonara.I didn't see anyone treating her to be honest.I also believe magicians are still less rare than medics. Healing magic seems to be the rarest form of magic. Hence, it makes sense logically if potions are limited and theoretically fighters shouldn't waste them on dying soldiers and keep them for themselves.If the war being mindless or absurd really takes away that much from your enjoyment, then I highly suggest you drop the show, I don't think we'll have many answers in the next episodes
>its just not made for u, everyhing makes sense and is made as it is FOR YURI PURPOSES go away :(lol
>>290312951Why are you still here then, if you don't like the anime nor the replies you're receiving?
>>290312975are you ok?
>>290312979Yes, are you?
>>290312988idk the bitch dying because apparently nobody checks on people returning from actions and sending noobs alone... that really hit me hardthis world is really populated by retards... would've made more sense if they were like from namibia or ruwanda... I could've suspended my disbelief a little bit better!
>>290313075To me it's implicit that their country is pretty fucking shitty and that high-command treats them like worthless meat for whatever reason.It pisses me off too though, but I thinks that's the whole point.
>>290313108point is your supply of meat will run out really fucking fast with a setup like this, so they're just being literal retards. maybe they want to lose the war on purpose? lol
>>290313108It is highly suggested the enemies are also justified
>>290313075>>290313108>>290313133wellcome to special operationfag

>>290312936>I didn't see anyone treating her to be honest.She falls (from a very high position, without breacking a bone and with a 10" hole in the chest, by the way) and is about to lose consciousness. She calls for Ari and while her memory appears she thinks that she has to go back. in the following cut, while she reminisces the pendant, we hear voices of people tending to someone. Should we think that she was able to get up and arrive unattended at the camp? Ok...>I also believe magicians are still less rare than medics. Healing magic seems to be the rarest form of magic. Hence, it makes sense logically if potions are limited and theoretically fighters shouldn't waste them on dying soldiers and keep them for themselves.Even if we assume that there are few healers and they must be protected, there should be a normal medic or nurse in sight there should be a sort of camp, means of transport... We see magic scoreboards on which the students observe some results but there is anything more.Again: the setting is badly conceived. If you like it, I'm happy for you. I'm over.
>>290313871>Should we think that she was able to get up and arrive unattended at the campYes, I interpreted it as such.>there should be a normal medic or nurse in sight there should be a sort of camp, means of transportI think their base camp does have a field hospital, if you watch the scene they were saying stuff like "she's bleeding out" or "give me medicines" something like that. They just didn't notice Seiran.>the setting is badly conceived. If you like it, I'm happy for you. I'm over.It doesn't bother me desu.See you next week
>>290313871its just the horrors of warS!@!! lol!
