>>290368363Leakers are out of control, man. Animated sequences, now? What next, full episodes?
>>290368424It's funny how posts like these never have images with old filenames.
Yuri kino incoming lads
>>290368702Sounds good.
>>290368363Lara autists trying to outautist Bandori autists
We gonna have a third thread?
>>290368755>>290368813Why the hell do we have a tripfag here?
>>290368826Damn that technique. Almost looks like real coral. Quite the artist. With time she'll be better than my friend.
>>290368515what do you mean by old filenames, like reposts?
If you see some annoying aidoru tripfag, just post male producers to repel him. He will screech his hate for a certain group in a moment.
>>290368872Just looks like reaction images to me.
>>290368813Technically it'll be the 4th.
Got to say, this show probably has one of, if not the best OP of the season.
>>290368981>>290368902>>290368830Wasn't Idolmaster a yuribait franchise way before Hibikek did? All the idols, no matter how flirty they are to each other, wants Producer-san's dick?
Someone made a clickbait video re: Lara on Youtube warau.
>>290368363Do you watch this if I just like the visuals?
>>290369090It's also pretty sexist for female self-inserters. I feel so bad for people who want female producer-sans
>>290368448Leakers are sugoi, mad and DNGAF>>290369228Yes. That's part of the reason why I watched Tekkon Kinkreet and Bubble.
Whatever happens, that ED is definitely a love song. But is it a Girls' Love Song?
>>290369238>Ooops all male producers!This is why Love Live and Bang Dream are so much better. They don't need those pieces of trash to be successful
>>290369390Bang Dream has Sadaharu, who is quite the successful businessman.
>>290369364Is the singer Hana Hope a hafu?
>>290368826First day with a marker and she already draws better than Luka.
Kasumi's boyfriend sure is cute
>>290369638Hanakotoba is too deep for me.
>>290369507Cringe>>290368830Based
>>290369507It is because of this man alone (a significant male) that Bang Dream cannot be considered Yuri. Sad.

The most handsome.

>Lara and Mari getting into an argument this episodeThey better make up kiss
>>290369991It have one more
>>290369968Why doesn't she fight like this? She basically has 3 hand with this setup.
Will Lara finally realize that she wants to be with Mari because she likes her this episode or nah?
>>290368830It is because of this man alone (a significant male) that Idolm@ster cannot be considered Yuri. Sad.
>>290368830>>290368981>>290368902Didn't TakeP obliterate every single CG idol in terms of popularity? What the fuck were they thinking?
>>290370019Last time there was 5.
>>290369743The Filipino Definition of Yuri is too strict
>>290370146Because Lara makes him mad, so she wants to ruin our thread
>>290369968Zoomed out this almost looks like an AI fuckup with three arms.
>>290370050Doubt it.
>>290370146Classic idolfag behavior: he doesn't like it when his idols get near men especially if they're male love interests
>>290370050>>290370184Time to place your yuricoin bets.
>>290370216It has to be in this episode or episode 9.
>>290370050Nah this gonna have friendship between girls but also hetero side romance for Lara happening at the same time.In director mind making it not a typical yuri story between two girls is to make it hetero shoujo story for one of them and other accepting that in just friendship.
The biggest star so far that we had was in episode 5. We'll probably get an even big reaction this episode and the big fish probably will do something too.
>>290368902It took a while but he did it >>290370154
>>290370332Something's gonna happen.
Luca is lucky
>>290370242>ESL>"gonna">allergy to grammarI keep telling you, you're far to recognizable for shitposting.
>>290370238Not today. I guess it could ep 9 since it's apparently must watch episode.
Maybe you guys should post Luca and this anime's boys. Our idol trip friend doesn't seem to like pretty boys. He prefers men like >>290369507, probably sexually too.
>>290370399I'm not shitposting, that's gonna happen.And I don't try to hide my bad grammar since english is not my first language, why should I?This is an international board where most people post in broken english than a correct one judging by this thread content alone.
>>290370020You try swinging an empty glove at someone like this, it's only going to tickle them.
>>290370480It's for feints, the opponent won't know if the red shape coming to his face has weight behind it or not.
If this guy was an ugly old bastard like the fatass from Ave Mujica, our idol friend would have gooned to him all day long
I am reminded that someone here bookmarks yaoi. Like a lot of it.

>>290370718Same.
Will this episode be the knockout blow for yurishitters?
>>290370018I hope so.
>>290370718Wow is this real?
>>290370792I would love for Mari to beat the shit out of that name-changing, grandpa-fucking idol schizo

I have ESL shitposter fatigue.
>>290370930May I interest you in some EOP shitposting? No?
>>290370899>WFMWe will see, maybe we gonna get an epilogue where Lara and Mari are married wearing matching rings while holding hands on the beach and a scene earlierin Yoshiya calls Lara his sister-in-law too.
I have name/trip shitposter faiigue.
>>290370873not him, but the number of the image depends on when you saved it, as this number works the same way as the post number. So if everyone who makes certain posts with an image with a newer number, it means that it's a new thing.

>>290371516Then report under "This post violates United States law." while using mobile data. Reports like that get priority or something like that.
>>290371554Probably
If this ep doesn’t at least straightforwardly hint at romantic connotations to Lara and Mari’s relationship I think the yuri’s gotta be called off. Even if they reveal it as some plot twist in the next couple episodes they haven’t laid the groundwork during the middle third of the show for that to make any sense.
>>290371651It will happen, just wait for it anon
>>290371651They laid the groundwork for it in the first half, but then it ground to a halt with the flashback + Luca episodes. It still wouldn't come out of nowhere though.
>>290371458>>290371596>>290371516If only Love Live/Bang Dream/yuri thread and the entire /u/ board took note YEARS ago

We just had only one new image of preview this episode, I'm hyped.
>>290372264Who the fuck is Laura?
>>290372323Wait no, that's one of the OG promo pics. Still not new.
>>290372378Only this one is new >>290371528
>>290372200>>290372213>>290372146Do idolfags like this samefag retard get mindbroken by 3rd worlders all the time?
Luca will win both Mari and Lara
>>290372131It would actually be nice to see Mari feeling anything, problem is that has nothing to do with her having romantic feelings for Lara cause she wasn't against her dating Luca and even helped Lara to go for him cause that was Lara wish.I can't see it how they could spin it into being romantic love now, they just needed 1 speedrun episode to completely put Luca in the spot out of nowhere.
Mataba
>>290372352That guy looks like he has stabbed at least two people already
>>290372324So Mari does all the heavy lifting so Luca could just take Lara away?
>>290372593Luca is her true love afterall.
Deleted post is not relevant to the topic.
>>290372532's eternal gratitude for being best man at their gay wedding
>>290372323So they're gonna tell Mari that Lara can't love humans and then she's gonna tell Luca to stay away?
>>290372324Mari selling her body to Lisa so she can keep Lara.
Nah, it will be a glorious FFM and Mari will be happy.
Grace is going to teach Lara how love works
>>290372715Most likely they're telling her that she's going to die and should be with them because they know what's up.
>>290368830Bold words coming from an incubator, QB
>>290372739No, I am.
It's up

>>290374594The message of the anime is that het will literally kill you
Director is a faggot and a coward.

Luca is so autistic it's kind of cute. I just can't hate him.
>>290374605FFM is the abbreviation for my city, drug ending confirmed.
>this is what women wantwhy
>>290374594Love will tear her apart
Lara has only been drawing for a few hours and she's unironically already a better artist than Luca.
>>290374768I usually prefer male characters but Mari is unironically girl of the season.
>>290374768this is how we know it's truly yurilara wants someone big and strong to beat her, it's a staple for lesbian relationships
>>290374786Luca taught her that
>eeh? eeh? ehh?
>this is mari's opponent for tomorrowholy shit she looks like a GIGA dyke
Episode was 300% pure kino. This is also me right now.
I take it all back. This is 100% yuri wtf.
Who won? Who lost?
>>290374863Fuck off Luca. You aren't welcomed.
>melting in front of marinormally i'd say this is really cute and romantic but uh, unfortunately not in this context
>>290374951Luca fucking lost...
>>290374863Always talk down to manlets
>>290374607She learned from Lisa.
>giant fish touches down on the lake to give Lara's boat a massive speed boostlmao
>>290374951Yurifags lost, zero romance for Mari x Lara, heterofags won Luca is still the dating bf of Lara.
>calls Luca to say she's never going to see him again>borderline annoyed>gets one look at Mari on phone and immediately changes her mind and decides to go back>tactical fish nukes lake to get back to Mari fasterOh no, hetbros, where did it all go wrong?
>>290375009I would be happy if yuritroons lose but I fear we are getting uppity too early
>>290374951Prince Luca, slayer of yurishit, won the Larabowl

>>290375183Ido!
>>290375192>falseflaggingAs who...? Falseflagging as shitposters? That doesn't make sense.
>that marriage talk like at the endYep, they are getting married bros
>>290374981Yoshiya and his girlfriends
>>290375269He’s gay tho
>>290375269Yoshiya wouldn't cheat on his bf Luca like that.
>lara is still scared of the surface, and thus will never find true love with a human>give her back to MElisa x lara incest sis yuri route confirmed!?
So the lame Prince ends up lonely? Or will he get the sister?
>drugging your friend while she's unconscious bit of a dick move honestly, but i suppose it was for the best
Okay, they had Luca himself spell it out for the slow people in the audience.
So what exactly is Luca's purpose in this show?
Yuri status?Het status?Friendship status?
>>290375471>Yuri status?Dead>Het status?Blooming
>eventually...of course i'll find my true love LARASHE'S RIGHT IN FRONT YOUSTOP LOOKING SO SCARED AND REALIZE IT ALREADYLARAAAAAAAAA
>>290375466Yuri facilitator
>>290375466To be Lara's true love.
Hetfaggots BTFO
then romance her mari, it's that simplebe her destined true love and she won't have to to fade away
>>290375466>So what exactly is Luca's purpose in this show?So they could start the story sticking to the original premise, before they could do whatever. Also het bait.
WHAT THE FUCK MY LUCASTOCK I BOUGHT LAST WEEK IS WORTH NOTHING NOW I SHOULD HAVE DUMPED!
>>290375484This is a face of a girl in love
>Lara when Luca>Lara when Mari
8 episodes in and 0 yuri
>she actually ran back to her sisterok then, what's the plan>take your timethey have no fucking time, she's already melting and the potion band aids won't last long lisa wanted this to happen but she's got no fucking clue on how to make lara find true love either
>>290375466To make yuritrannies cower in fear and chimp out at the thought of him getting in the way of the yuriz
8 episodes in and 8 yuris
Was obvious, Luca is way too boring. Even if it was het Mari's brother would have been the better choice.
>>290375639the kiss and wedding will be shown during the finale
>>290375623do sweaty tomboy boxers really cure depression????
>>290375335I understand that Lisa doesn't want Lara to be with humans, but what exactly is her actual plan. Other that her and Kota there aren't any non humans to fall in love with. Unless she is saying "forget about humans, truly love only us mermaids and the light will shine for us".
>>290374878So did Mari's sempai, but she still has a boyfriend.
Imagine watching this and thinking this wont end in a Love all humans bittersweet endAmazing how you fags obsess over yuri, anti-yuri, and shipping to the point that you spend all your time fighting, basically going against what the show is trying to say
Lara is a cute loving wife
>>290375183Shut up Mari, you're beautiful!
>>290375695anon those are called shitposters who don't watch the anime who only come here to degrade thread quality because they're attention whores
>>290374546Mari…
I'm starting to think that Luca and Lisa are not actually the same person.
>>290374607If your boobs are nearly touching your throat, you got a problem, anon.
>>290375660The potion let Lisa and Kota hold on for decades before the effect started to wear off, it's not THAT urgent in her eyes although the big fish threatening to wipe Shiga out will most likely be the real time limit.
>>290375572There is no such thing as hetbait
>>290375376It's okay when it's mouth-to-mouth.
>he got hetbaitedKek that's what you get for celebrating your "victory" after 7 episodes in a 12 episodes anime.
>>290375183I’m No One btw
well well well yuri won
Interesting that that is the same question that someone asks Lara in in this PV at 00:46 in a line we still haven't heard in the show.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjq7xyVdv5I
>>290375671His purpose is to prove that hetfags will self-insert into any male even if its the biggest twink ever
>i won't let her (the witch) get in the way>lisa's mirror starts glowing>next scene is the witch looking out the window from her tankcan she actually view what's going on from any mirror? so she's spying on lisa and lara right now if that's the case
Luca will draw an incredibly shitty portrait at Lara and Mari's wedding.
>>290375792It's more like that's what you get when you ignore the first 7 episodes.
>>290375765>says while deepthroating the hook.
>>290375695That's what happens when you base your entire identity around a fictional homosexuality fetish
Schizo theory status...?
>>290375695Seethe more.
>>290375792>hetbaitNot a real thing. It's 100% yuribait, it's even following the typical yuribait formula all yuritrannies fall for before the inevitable schizo meltdown
>mermaids light comes from nationalism and love for their people and homeno wonder a fucking race traitor like lara destroyed everything
>>290368363This anime is a great way to vasectomize yourselves
>>290375854>Lisa on the boat at the same time Lara is next to her talking to Luca on the phoneA minor setback.
>>290375826Was already established in Lisa's flashback episode, where Lisa realizes the witch has been able to watch them the entire time they've been doing shit, but also implied way back in 5 when it was clear that she was fucking around with the glass window of Mari's house and the lamppost outside.
>>290375838It will be a glorious one. He can't get outdone by Lara's first drawing >>290374786
End card and comment:>Lara has decided to search for love in the world above.>And the promise that Lara and Mari made to each other——.>Please look forward to next week’s episode too!
Dear Mari: Do NOT come home. I've baked an absolute dogshit cake. Just completely fucked it up. I'm so sorry--Yours truly, Lara
>>290375660Why does Lisa have an ice cream freezer in her living room?
>>290375639I have been in the yuriswamp for a long time, and the last scene in this episode, with Mari and Lara chatting on the balcony, was one of the best yuri scenes I've seen in any anime.

>>290375971>embarrassing cope theory*amazing schizokino theory
>>290376000Yeah, the whole "dead mom predicts Mari will find a soulmate like herself and Mari's dad" thing was very heavy-handed.
>>290375933there was some more purple sparkles down in her lair tooi guess she doesn't actually need a mirror to pull this trick off and any "surface" counts? unless of course it's mirrors anywhere else and her lair is the one exception on the count of it well, being her lair
Mari is actually more masculine than Luca, there is no reason to choose him even if Lara was into guys only.
>>290376034>>290376050I am going to enjoy the yuritranny meltdown
>>290376083Wouldn't you be the tranny if you are so desperate on Luca's cock?
>>290375695>Imagine watching this and thinking this wont end in a Love all humans bittersweetActually fine and quite fitting.Especially after we find out this episode that previously mermaid Princesses only needed to realize a general love for the ocean.Honestly, what was Lisa thinking. That was never going to work with Lara.

>>290376145So a friendtranny? What a cuck.
>What do you really want?>Mariholy YURI
>>290375335I still have no idea what Lisa's plan is. She even seem to be acknowledging that it's true that Lara needs to find a lover but then is trying to isolate her from everyone else.

>>290376061Stop being a miserable killjoy. It's entirely realistic that Mari's mother had a conversation where she expressed her faith in Mari one day finding a partner in life as good to Mari as Mari's father was to her.
TACTICAL FISHE INCOMING
>>290376253handholding next episode y-you'll see!
>>290376180The promise at the end could pave the way for a more bitter than sweet ending
Friendship won
she tanked that
>>290376326I wasn't complaining. Sometimes subtlety is for fags and heavy-handedness is appropriate. This is technically a fairytale adaptation so the latter is even more so.
>>290376230Who are you quoting?
>>290376411The voices in his head
>>290376253it's not as bad as lycoreco, this is still good but for originals you need to maintain engaging hook for every episode and it is difficult while maintaining 2 tones without whiplash
>>290376365Amazing how Kaguya turned into a yurifag humiliation ritual after the director opened his mouth
This turned out to be yuribait but, honestly, this episode was great, I loved it.I'm so glad I don't give a fuck about yuri or hetero, this anime is great either way
>>290376411His own repressed desires for chicks with dicks I guess
>i'm going to stay here on the surface, with all the positive emotions i've experienced here, this is where i can feel the lightso, "love for her home and people" - lara's light WILL come from her love of humans and the surfacemermaids light comes from love of their home, it just so happens lara feels more at home on the surface than the ocean unlike other mermaidsshe is a special princess after allbravo
>>290376383That punch would have KILLED Tenshinhan btw
>>290376319>no blushesowari da
>>290376454kys antiyuri schizonobody's falling for your falseflags
GRIT THOSE TEETH
>>290376295obviously the short raging high-T bulldyke tops the submissive romantic maiden
>>290374184They'll reveal later she fed her the potion with a kiss.
>>290376494Kek fuck off yurifag, enjoy the anime for what it is
>>290370792>yuricucks shilled the tournament like it was the biggest thing ever>lara just fucked off and didnt even attend 99% itkek>arrives 1m before the endKEK>takes 1 pic and thats it K E K
>>290376253hetfag cope and seethe
It's Friendship yuri. Lara is straight and likes cute boys but Mari is her true love (platonic gal pal).
>Mari starts blushing when her fishe turns up to motivate her to WINCUTE
>>290376489Those two little lines under Mari's left eye when she smiles are consistently shown to be the extent of her blushing. She's not going to go full tomato like episode 3 Lara.
>>290376454I find these always a great lesson in how many posts a single dedicated schizo can really push out. I could not imagine being this guy.
I honestly don't feel like there's been enough of a plot, it's like we get drip-fed a few seconds at the end of every episode. Also pacing has been all over the place.
our local schizophrenic is trying soooo hard today, it's amusing
>>290376397Reactions to pretty much everything in this show show that subtlety is too subtle, you need a sledgehammer for people to notice things.
>>290376040
>>290376589What are you on about? I just got here
>Lara's "heart" dagger STILL only reacts to MariAlso this series looks amazing. I think this might have been the best looking episode so far. Some of the art looked super detailed and clean and it had quite a lot of interesting shots.
>even without me, Mari's a strong girl>I'm sure some day she'll find someone to stand by her and gaze in the same direction brehs...
>>290376604A cliffhanger != the plot. Learn what words mean.
Yuritards can't see 2 females interact without going "THEY MUST BE HAVING SEX TOGETHER"I know for a fact you disgusting degenerate even ship sisters in every fictional story since yall cant see 2 female interact normally, porn addict yuritards
>>290376573cutecutecutecutecute
>>290376652>Mom, can it be a mermaid?>What the fuck are you talking about, Mari?
>>290376454Its a decent yuri anime sofar regardless of the ending. Nips tend to fuck up on the last few episodes though, so we'll see but I'm optimistic.If it goes all the way or not only really matters for if I spend money on it or not.
THEY MUST BE HAVING SEX TOGETHER
>>290376656Yes, backloading the plot into the last 10 seconds is a cliffhanger, thank you for explaining.
>>290376661>even ship sisters Especially!
>>290376700If anything, the anime looks great either way regardless of the ending or how good the story or characters are
>i can make custard too now!>*waterfall noises*mari is so easy...
fake princes who lost to yuri
>>290376610This episode really stung, huh.
Hibikefans LOVE this anime
>>290376721This, but sincerely and unironically.
>>290376661Thats right, we love wincest. What are you gonna do about it normalfag? Cry and spam even harder?
Lads, I think Lara might love Mari. Am I media literate?
>>290376661Hetfags can't see a male and a female interacting without going "THEY MUST BE HAVING SEX TOGETHER".
>>290376756This is a look of a girl in love, it's a sweet look full of love
but what will she do now? just accept it and turn into foam?
>>290376754Visually its okay. I wouldn't go so far to say its so visually appealing I'd watch it even if the characters and story were bad.
>>290376803she's going to LOVE mari and things will be DAIJOUBU
>>290376791uhhh but that's literally the yuritranny delusion with two female characters...
With today's episode plus the speedy introduction of Luca I'm actually surprised they need 4 more episodes to wrap things up at this point.
these threads are garbage, nothing but yuri and anti yuri
If Lara doesn't take Mari I will. Her and Luca can attend our wedding.
man, last week's ep was so much better
really enjoyed this episode. its sweet to see lara opening her heart up more and more instead of retreating into her self deprecating attitude or hiding her feelings and trying to push past the fears especially with this and last weeks episode. hope for more lara love
>>290376661just admit you're a homophobe who is asspained he lost the culture war
>>290376844
>>290376838yeah pacing has been poor
>>290376843We need enough yuri to drown out the anti-yuri and the threads will be good.
>>290376816Well, so far imo the characters are quite good, story decent but nothing to write home about, but it shines when it comes to artistic style and animation quality. Without that, it would be average at best
>>290376734>backloading the plot into the last 10 seconds is a cliffhangerBro, I repeat. Learn what words mean.
>>290376756Did you notice the slight faltering in Mari's voice when she tells Lara to promise her to bake her that cake when she becomes world champion?
>>290376838We haven't hit the mandatory last third twist that ruins the entire story yet.
>>290376907ESL?
>>290376910Yeah that's a death flag right there, Mari knew that too
>>290376870nta but i might be homophobic if it doesn't involve cute girls
>>290376910yeah!
>>290376757At least El4n had massive trauma and was doomed by the plot, Luca is just an autist who's never gonna make it.
Mari will save Lara at the end with a kiss
I’m sorry I want to believe in the yuri but something in the direction or writing just screams that they’re pulling their punches at making this anymore than a strong platonic bond with maybe some subtext
>>290376757The best Elan briefly won, and then she died.
>>290376838Next episode will very likely be mostly or entirely a Grace/Lara's mom flashback to set up what the giant fish will actually do if Lara loses control.
yuri stock status?
>>290376835>trannytrannytrannyWhy is your brain so full of cock all day?
>tfw your mermaid starts leaking>>290377000They kiss and Lara lights up and releases her light, which envelops all of Shiga and revives her family. Would be a great moment.
>>290376843>being mad about yuri posting in a yuri anime thread
>>290374878Are boxing dykes really this hot?
>>290376940Why do refugees think yurifags care about anything that isn't cute girls?
>>290377002It was clear from the start
>>290375466different forms of love
>>290377065uh oh melty
>>290376253There will be a fall 2026 akibameido to show these fishes how it's done
There has to be some kind of endgame twist with this guy or he's a completely pointless character.
>>290377072Yuribait*
>>290374878I want to forcefully feminize her for the gap moe.
>>290377102You should go have that check up. It may be hard with no free healthcare in your country, though.
>>290376843I wished we could have normal conversations, but too much of /a/ is just schizobaiting now and the anti-yurischizo is too good a target. Its a plague on almost all of our seasonals.
>>290377122He represents the rejected traditional love, it’s not that deep
>>290375466Yurikiller
>>290375466Hetbait, an obstacle before Lara realizes that her true love is Mari
Mari's mom in the hospital scene looked completely different. I guess because she cut her hair. But what was wrong with her? I thought she died during Mari's boxing match but I guess that was just the start of the hospitalization? And usually cutting/losing hair is associated with cancer.
>>290376873>>290376844Interesting choice from Lara to leave the hot chocolate can behind this time. Also Mari immediately taking the plushy Lara has been sleeping with in to her bed. I bet she slept hugging it while pretending to not be thinking of Lara.
>>290377139lmfao wtf is this schizobabble
lips throbbingwomb loweredFallopian tubes going haywireclitoris quiveringnipples hardened
>>290377002The end of the boxing match where they don’t make eye contact or anything and it’s just implied Mari gets her energy back from Lara is a classic subtext move
>>290369238Second from the left WAS from the branch appealing to women. The in game version of P was gender ambiguous, they just made a version of that P into a boy for the anime. I think the only actual female producer was ritsuko and 876's, and even ritsuko went back to being an idol
It was pretty cool seeing the giant ugly fish able to act in a positive way. Cute weapon of mass destruction.
>>290377122If this was a donghua he'd win because those Chinese are obsessed with lovers in the past life become lovers in their new life
Marriage proposal
>>290377122Lara and Mari still need a catalyst to realize their true love is each other and it will come in the form of Mari getting jealous and Lara realizing she doesn't feel that way towards Luca.
By the storyboard artist (a Trigger animator, curiously)
>>290375718We're back to the start of episode 1
>>290377388>Mari getting jealousShe was shipping them last week
>>290377122Lara thought she wanted romantic love but she actually wanted friends. Luca is used to show how this isn't the love she wanted
>>290377456>She was shipping them last weekNot such a thing, she was just happy because Lara was happy
>>290375718>world's best>womanWhat did she mean by this?
>>290377456And in this episode she came to know Lara will die if she doesn't find true love, she won't be okay leaving it up to that weak faggot.
>>290377456The wingman/woman becoming a love interest is a classic. And also they always win.
>>290377388>only realized as Lara is fully turning into foam>"Sayonara, Lara">deus ex fishe happens
Just got here. How are Lucaschizos coping?
>>290377542MASSIVE cope
Dominate Kinky
>>290377554>world's best>bantamweight, male or female
I'm concerned for hetfag mental health. They're really losing their grip on reality. They might start hurting themselves if they don't let go of their Luca/Lara delusions.
>>290377068I can imagine a scene where Mari kisses Lara. Waltz of the Flowers stars playing as the light bursts and they get engulfed in a shower of flower petals.
>>290377593Pretty weakly, the episode shut them down too hard.
>>290377424Looks like Ryuko
>>290377614>world's best*
>>290377651Princess Tutu?
Luca did nothing wrong
>>290377677His very existence is a blight on this show. All girl cast would of been better.
>>290377677You gotta understand that his very existence threatens these people
>>290375466Getting Lara into painting in order to set up the scene where she asks Mari to pose nude for her.
post from one of the writers. Apparently one person wrote episode 3, episode 6, and this ep. Looks like they’ll be writing at least one more too. Anyone notice a pattern?
Luca will win when the girls need to find a sperm donor to have kids
>>290377677He didn't. He'll still lose. Such is the way of the world.
>>290375466Cameraman to show Mari's match to Lala.
>>290377677>Master must go to her tomboy gf real quick, let me just blow softly into the water.
>>290377827Lara has a huge fish dong floating over a lake
they gave themselves a very easy (and predictable) out by having Lisa say the princesses’ love of the sea in general can create the light. They’re gonna drop the “Lara’s love for all of humanity is her light” like it’s some groundbreaking twist
>>290377827They'll ask a real man like Kota.
>>290377907
>>290376624Sad this is gonna be the last episode with boxing
>>290377804You feel threatened by yuri
>>290377827He'll donate the sperm directly into both of their wombs
>>290377925It's not a twist if they're foreshadowing it and you're paying attention.
>>290377927>WRONG HOLE LALA
>>290377925>They’re gonna drop the “Lara’s love for all of humanity is her light”Retard hetfag, her heart only shines when she thinks about Mari
>>290377927SAUCE NOW PLEASE
>lara tells luca she can't see him for a while>luca more concerned about the ladybugWhy is he like this
>>290377992google works
Yurifags, we are so back!

>this is the male love interest everyone wants
>>290377992https://poipiku.com/7407345/13371802.htmlcute!
>>290377925Rewatch episode 1 and you will see how obvious that is
>>290378020Please don't make fun retarded children.
>Luca literally demoted to tool to bring Lara back to Mari>who once again is the only person who affects her light and heartAre hetfags okay?
Ponytail for blowjob.
>>290378061EH? EH? EH? EH??
>>290378061>zero reaction to him trippingBased Mari
>>290378061He dom'd that bulldyke in this scene tho
>>290378033I'm sorry I usually don't spread AI crap but I fucking lost it.
why the hate for Lucaeven if you were a yuri diehard it's not like he's a particularly threatening character
I get it, you are jealous that yuri is getting all the best shows while you are stuck with dogshit like kanokari and mushoku tensei, but you need to stop shitting up these threads. It doesn't help your case at all.
Hetbros, did we get baited?
>>290378172lol
>>290378061>Lara rejects Luca >Luca goes full yandere >Lara suddenly disappears>Mari can't find her >suddenly police cars pass by >Mari follows >police at Luca's house >Police find that Luca murdered Lara ate her flesh and used her blood to paint one final piece of artwork >Mari forever traumatized >Luca given death penalty but the mermaid flesh made him immortal>Sayonara Lara
>>290378089That's 100% a lesbian.
This board ruined an otherwise good series. Thanks everyone!
>>290378242>Leo was the true mastermind
Why does this bitch Lala not care about her boyfriend?
>complex plot about humans and mermaids>/a/ JUST GIVE ME MARI X LARAwhy
>>290377677I mean yeah? Not his fault yuri hating schizos also hate men.
>>290378248Rape lesbians is the best.
>>290369507This guy fucks young woman a lot
>>290378292>>/a/ JUST GIVE ME MARI X LARAit's literally just one schizo
>>290378292Some people have more sophisticated tastes than you, it's okay. Have fun focusing on the superficial aspects of stories instead of what really matters.
>>290378172>AI confirmed it's friendslopFriendCHADS literally cannot stop winning>Those who cannot conceive Friendship as a substantive love but only as a disguise or elaboration of Eros betray the fact that they have never had a Friend - C.S. Lewis
>>290378292Why not both?
Don’t forget Lara still said Luca gives her a warm feeling that’s different from everyone else
>>290378358>AI confirmed it's friendslopAnon, the picture is about Lala skewering Mari with her fish dick.
>>290378292The message that lesbian love is just as valid as hetero love is literally the core foundation of this story
What was that one theory? The barrier stuff? Is there any difference with that in this shot?
>>290378342Pretty sure the only one schizo is the one getting triggered over yuri every thread.
>>290378400The subs said she felt it FROM him, not for him but I'd really like to know what the Japanese line was.
>>290378400you are coping
>>290378020He is so autistic it's cute. I want to buy him a box of those metal ring puzzles where you need to separate the two rings and watch him struggle with them.
>>290378358>ask AI who Lara is likely to end up with>Mari is the most likely person to save Lara from her fate.Damn... thanks AI!
>>290378485look into the mirror, you'll find the schizo
>>290378400>the face she makes when is talking to himLOL >>290374281
>>290378564I'm sorry I brought up AI in the first place, can we please not do this?
Is it just me or did Lara go through the exact same development two episodes in a row. In both she basically commits to living with humans despite how scared and traumatized she is.
>>290375466Always's been a red herring, both for Lara and the viewers.
This show should've focused more on Lara x Mari like Kaguya instead of doing hetbait
>>290378292I understand that there is something very moving about learning to love the little interactions we have every day, the smell of plants and flowers, and the whole world around us.But that could never compare to my true desire for watching girls fall in love, passionately longing for each other, and then having lewd kissing sessions.That's what makes us ningen, I think.
oh wow this might be the worst thread yetand i thought the episode was so good...
>>290378510She doesn't say either in the Japanese. She just says she feels a sense of warmth. >温かさみたいなものを感じるのThough prior to that she does say "ルカから" which does seem to indicate what she feels is from Luca.
>>290378404>>290378564t. friendcels
>>290378677The hetfags will run out of steam and cope eventually and we can have a good thread then
>best part of the episode was they talking like a married couple in the endingWe need more moments like that.
>>290378757Your friends skewer you with their dicks? Lucky.
Is she shitting?
>>290378619I think that’s supposed to be the theme of the show, not lesbians having scissor sex.
>>290378743Thanks, anon.
>>290378795why does she sit like this
>>290378795It's a metaphor for the show's pacing
>>290378795thinkin of luca gave her the diarrhoea
>>290378564Very cool AI-sama
>>290378485>yuriUhh that's just rape...
>>290378900Maybe her butt hurt?
>>290368448as expected this ended up being better than what we actually got
Cute carrot.
>>290378965>LGBT+ trans usersIt's over... we've been exposed
>>290378988yuri rape is the purest form of rape
Pretty good show, shame it's over. I liked the part when the true love was the shitposting on 4chan.
>>290379039I love that she's sweet on Mari now.
>>290378965DELETE THIS
>>290378822but we’ve seen Lara steel her resolve to keep living with humans after doubting it like 5 times now. I get it’s part of the theme but can’t you expand on it without doing basically the same plot point over and over again
>>290378795It's made by the made in abyss studio
Nice boat.
>>290379074Nice of them to provide a mid-series end point in case the show goes to shit in the last few episodes like most originals.
The sign looks like a dick with balls.
>>290374281Even I was more excited about the random fuzzy caterpillar my mom found today.
>>290379274Reference to the penis towers in the Disney version.
>>290379197Why are people so pessimistic about this show all of a sudden? What happened to make people angry like this?
>>290379003From what?
The only full text yuri this show will have will be when they reveal Grace was deeply romantically in love with her sister and she’s using Lara to bring her back
>>290379433Ain't no want to fuck Grace.
>>290379184Take a good hard look at the motherfucking boat.
>>290379433>eleventh hour incest plotline
>>290379433Nips aren't based enough for that anymore
>>290379485That is a man
>>290379388To be fair, that post isn't pessimism. Thats just the routine for anime originals.
>>290379388Bad pacing + not enough plot for 12 episodes
By another Trigger animator
So now that yuric/u/cks got utterly btfo how will the rest of the series go
>>290379593>not enough plot for 12 episodesBetter than too much plot for 12 episodes like I usually see. Though I don't really agree. I think the pacing is fine.
>"it was definitely made with 24 episodes in mind" until last week>now there's not enough plot for 12 episodes
>>290378965Its a shame they can only ever use current cataloge snapshots. I wished we could have them psychoanalyse a whole season of threads for a show, this is hilarious.
This face was hot.
>>290376432>but for originals you need to maintain engaging hook for every episodeTHey don't need to do that, not really. there are plenty of SoL anime originals that can survive without that.
>>290379634Pretty clear that a lot of the story has been cut, I don't see how you could argue that
>>290379521>>290379521naw, from the fanart I've seen Lara is the man.
>>290378965Fucking kek
>>290376661Imagine being on fucking 4chan and using the phrase "porn addict" unironically. Where the fuck do you think you are, woketard?
>>290379388I wouldn't necessarily say I'm pessimistic, but I feel like Lara is in a weird place where its got all the ingredients there to make it great but just can't quite scratch that itch.
>>290379634You have to understand. Last week they thought Luca was going to win.
>>290377122The point is that het doesn't do it for her, it's that simple idiot.
>>290379747I'm an old fag been here since 2016, 4chan is a conservative right wing website, we hate porn here
>>290379747>woketard?Anon, if someone is angry about lesbians and using keywords like "degenerate" or "porn addict" they are on the other side of the quadrant.
>>290379767He is gonna win.
>>290379758It feels like the show was made to bait people into a shipping war for engagement's sake and is spinning its wheels rather than commit one way or another.
>>290379837You're a fucking election tourist.4chan has always loved porn. It's you mentally ill zoomers who can't handle the sex and push their puritan faggotry on everyone else.
>>290379913Sex is only between a married man and woman for procreation
>>290377106Akiba maid was great
>>290379837Anon please, even satire needs to have standards
>>290379531And non-original anime and animation in general and manga and basically all media. Most of everything is shit.
>>290378988
>>290379883That projecting the behaviour of a extremly and supremly mentally unwell minority on the consumer demographic. If you leave the bubble you'll see just most viewers happily gushing over Lara×Mari and not really caring about any of this. Same as almost every other time.
>>290379883the show definitely wants to have its cake and eat it too by placing the focal point on several characters in Lara’s life while also trying to drive home the “general love for humanity” message that would be better done if it was Lara + expanded cast every episode
>>290380031Sturgeon's Law
>>290380022What satire. I came here from the Donald and we hate degeneracy here. A bunch of left wing zoomers are trying to ruin the state of this website by infecting it with woke like porn and gays
>>290379837>"oldfag">20-fucking-16
>>290379433The only confirmed same-sex couple being the presumed villain of the show and her sibling would send a hilarious message
>>290380105It's not even bait at this point, you're just throwing in the rod
>>290379837>I'm an old fag been here since 2016>2016>OldLmao
>>290380140Yes? That was 10 years ago over 1/3 of my life. I'd say that qualifies me as an oldfag so to speak
>>290380200See>>290380261
>>290376757Yeah, but let's be honest: both were coded for maletrons.
>>290380326women pretending to be men > men pretending to be women
>>290380153Evil being sexy and cool again?Fuck I miss the villainous lesbians.
>>290380261>"I'd say"What you'd say means precisely SHIT. If you weren't here before 2008 you're not an oldfag, so shut the fuck up babby.
>>290378292i just want a kiss
>>290379883>>290380085It wants to be sol but also a serious drama; it wants to give you the impression that these small moments are what lead to "true love" but also chop chop Lara, you need to hurry the fuck up or you and every other mermaid will die; here's our intro with a rich cast of characters, but don't expect any of them to speak more than a few lines of dialogue beyond Lara, Mari and Lisa. There's a few other things in there but it definitely feels like the structure is at odds with itself.
>>290380084But the "viewers" you're talking about are the same ones who will have a meltdown at getting baited yet again
>>290380487>2008Sorry but if you came here post-/l/ ban you're not a oldfag.
>>290380140I honestly feel bad for any boomer who's been here pre-2016, shouldn't you be playing with your grandchildren or something?
>>290380746Weirdly every single time the only meltdown we see is the schizos obsessed with imagining other people being mad and spamming how mad the people in their head are.
>>290380657Yeah I'm pretty miffed that Himeka completely disappeared after her intro. Like didn't she say in that episode she wanted to keep in touch?
>>290380657A lot of sols are also serious dramas
