>the interview where the director called the show "yuri" has been confirmed fake and made up by americansWhat now?
Endgame.
You might not want to admit it but Luca is way cuter than Mari or Lara.
>>290479113has a nicer vagina too.
>>290479040I just finished the episode and then watched the PV, with the little crossdressing brother showing up again I am starting to feel some actual hope for my investments in maternal coin, the rest of the family and everybody else that could have raised him will die suddenly so lara will have to care for the kid and find true love that way
>>290479040The yurifags kill xirselves
Drop it because you have self respect and don't watch yuribait, or keep watching because you're a pig and will eat up whatever they put in your trough.
>>290479076See >>290479040
>>290479040What copes do we have left?
>>290479040>hetfags spend the last few weeks explaining how the phrase "not your typical yuri" means the show isn't going to be yuri>now that the alleged interview is being stated to be fake hetfags somehow understand that mentioning yuri unprompted in an interview pushes the work towards being yuriFunny how that works
>>290479543These because they can't use their eyes and think somehow it's still yuri despite it being fake>>290479576>>290479570
Sell me this anime.Would I like this if I am watching himawari circus?
>>290479621If you do pick it up do make sure to actually read the little mermaid first it's not long, episode 1 goes over the story with some adjustments but I think you will still appreciate it better being familiar with the source materialalso there's a concept trailer people will talk about which isn't exactly so much a direct trailer for the anime as something they put out while they were thinking up the anime
>>290479621Fuck off we're full
Cute fish
New interview just dropped.>Q: This might sound a little uncouth but did you have the intention of yuri when it came to Lara's and Mari's relationship?>Koide: Hahaha (laughs).
>>290479040>interview was fake>"No I don't have proof but I'll make the claim anyway!"
>Yuri baiting>Female fish that becomes a human male>Crossdressing kidThis show has homo written all over it
>>290479889>>290479976>>290479978>No i can't cope that it's yuribait despite being told it's yuribait so i will moan until i get banned because i don't want to wake up to reality
Well this thread is off to a good start.
>>290479040We have pictures of the actual magazine though. What I think is that the original Japanese text never existed and was instead a translation made by someone on the internet.
>>290479040Are you seriously this retarded? The interview happened and there's no dispute that koide said "yuri". You have a problem with the japanese editorial staff cutting the the full interview. Global promotions have access to the entire audio and are allowed to select from there. You're mad they published what the monthly magazine couldn't.
>>290480157We even have pictures of said booklet with the authors freaking signature
>>290480157>>290480158>>290480199Sad sad yurifags can't cope with being baited that they attack everything around xirselves and post "proof" to show that they wasn't baited
>>290479589>>290480033>>290480225ESL-kun are you ok
>>290480253Obviously not
>>290480266>>290480253>Yurifags being baited by yuribait are asking if someone is okayWhy do you cope and act like you wasn't baited
>>290480157>the original Japanese text never existed and was instead a translation made by someone on the internetWasn't that confirmed to be exactly what happened?
>>290480253Shhh, let them have their stroke in peace.
ESLfag is posting like if he does it enough his dad will finally love him
>>290480306>>290480282>>290480316Yuritards will post endlessly about how they weren't baited even after it ended up being bait
>>290479040>another het cope thread
>>290479040Based. So they're really going for the typical yuri romance
>>290480442>>290480415What will you fags do when it baited yurfags
I want to mute the word "bait" but that seems inappropriate for a series about fishes. What if they start discussing how to catch mermaids in the wild?
>>290480511>What if they start discussing how to catch mermaids in the wild?Throw fish heads into the water and pull out whatever bite
>>290480467You can't call the typical yuri subtext bait.
>>290479040You’re all dumbasses. It isn’t fake, it’s a completely different interview that was done for advertisement to American/Western audiences. While the Japanese interview does not mention the word, Koide still bring up the word unprompted in the interview.Now you can argue whether or not they knew western audiences would devolve into feral beasts arguing over the word, and intentionally baited them, but it’s not fake
>>290480525>fish headsYeah that'll just be Lara
>>290480545Stop making up shit, you can’t claim an imaginary interview exists without proof
>>290480545>While the Japanese interview does not mention the word, Koide still bring up the word unprompted in the interview.The final cope
>>290480541>yuri subtextYou can't make the whole story out of subtext
>>290480545It's just one retard latching onto whatever internet rumor proves his cope.
>>290480442It is mildly sus that they put the single piece of official art that can be framed as romantic behind a special edition bluray limited bonus when the actual BD box looks like this.
>>290480591You're right, sometimes it's literal.
>>290480545I want it to be yuri but its obvious that american translators translated “gyary meets gyaru” as “yuri”
>>290480553Just throw other fish parts into the water to see what bite
>>290480623Just means they know that will get fans excited. Probably not bait unless they want to make sure no one buys the second BD.
>>290480646Gyaru Mari when?
Who in this world is schizophrenic enough to write a multi-page fake interview like that after the first episode of the show came out. Are you all insane? Where is the rumor that it’s fake even coming from?
>>290480282https://x.com/i/status/2092823384589492440The dark blue article is the same interview in Japanese but it does not say anything about it being yuri. I'm not saying that means the English version of the article that calls it yuri is fake though. It was published by newtype global and they wouldn't just make stuff up.
>>290480646none of the characters in this show are gyaru are you on drugs
You twitterfags can't stop arguing about this fucking interview even here?
>>290480728Grace could kinda fit
Mari x Lara sisters...
>>290480699if it’s coming from an official publisher this argument is mute. The word yuri doesn’t get translated as anything else unless you’re really stretching it as a translator, but it would still have to be officially approved
>>290480739Fags can't cope that they got baited
>>290480759No she wouldn't. The only character that might is a genderbent Yoshiya
>>290480777>they got baitedI don't think it for bait purposes
The English newtype interview was available at Anime Expo where the director was. The English VA’s retweeted the article. It’s not fake but it’s probably bait.
>>290481140>whines after the lies of the interview being fake were debunked
>>290480623they showed off the special edition poster as soon as episode 3 dropped. they knew they had people's attention. i'll bite as soon as the finale gives me what i want.
>>290481216>bankablehows the interest rate
>goes to /u/ and probably shitposts there more than actual yurifags
>>290481216>>>/u/4587163It hasn't even been brought up.
>>290481216You do realize people can just go on the board and see you're lying right
>>290481194>yurifag whines after the lies of the interview being real were debunked
>>290481276His shitposts there get deleted promptly unlike here.
>>290481332What lies? We have the photographic evidence of the interview right here >>290480157
>>290481389Weren't you just saying that yuri needs to be banned from /a/? Sounds like your an equally fragile tranny then.
>>290481140I post yuri because it's cute and hot.
The Director rtalked about how the story focuses on two main girls and their relationship, seeing as in anime such pairs are often quickly related to yuri they made the remark that they didn't want to make a stereotypical yuri, but rather a much more unpredictable and complex relationship.
>>290481763Question remains what director considers stereotypical yuri and what not.
>>290479040Seems like a completely insignificant factor next to this show's colossally radiant gayness. It's clearly bending over backwards to be really, REALLY gay, yet it's not supposed to be gay at all?I'm not buying it.
>>290481789Considering his comments afterwards, he considers most yuri to be depicted as weak and simple.
>>290481881What?
>>290481915when she sees your fish
>>290481927What?
>>290480728The interviewer said girl meets girl in english, and americans translated it as yuri
>>290481990>or are you going to make up an interview>doubling down
>>290481991That was another interview retard
>>290481990Is there any type of non gay reasoning for half of the shit in the show and films
>>290481991Do you have original page of the interview in japanese?
>>290482043Last thread
>>290480511
Why Lara threads attracts these fucking schizos?
So in japanese interview word like "yuri" wasn't used?
>>290482128Isn't it just one guy? Keeps crying in any vaguely yuri-related thread for some reason.
>>290482128Hard not to with such a bait OP.
>>290479040Why are Americans like this? Why do they worship homosexuality to such a comical degree?
>>290482325This is a japanese animu
>>290479113>t. banana waver
>>290480157Wait I'm lost, so this interview is fake or that means the japanese version of this interview was never made?Because this interview isn't saying that the show isn't yuri either, just that the author take on it prefers to add strenght and complexity to it than make it typical I suppose light hearted yuri story.But if that is what director thinks yuri is about he clearly is a yuri noob and stopped his yuri education on YuruYuri and similiar type of light hearted yuri comedies.
>>290482378>the japanese version of this interview was never made?This. It was specifically an interview for Anime Expo.
>>290482299>Theyre making it impossible for normal people to use /a/.Not really, the one who does it is the so called resident anityurifag/Majimafag/Guelfag etc. who whenever see someone talk or post about yuri starts acting like some retarded demon on steroids against it for no real reason than not being able to accept it in his personal psyche.
>>290482368Don't worry just join one team and attack the other team
Not every girl has to be gay you know
>>290479040>finally a show where there is no source material to spoil what's next and you can have fun speculating >niggers straight up make up leaks if they cannot find anyI hate you so fucking much
>>290481915when she meets the biggest baddest kemono in town
>>290482342Yeah, but it's americans who scream at the top of their lungs that they demand the animu to be a celebration of gay love
>>290482498>Yeah, but it's americans who scream at the top of their lungs that they demand the animu to be a celebration of gay loveCare to show 1 post who did that Mr Retardo?Why are you fucking lying so much to create fake narrative?
>>290479040Pretty sure in the cutout posted here before the word used was 百合
>hate girl x girl relationships>enter thread about series with heavy girl x girl relationship implications regardless of how it ends up or any interviews>get mad You can go watch HanaKimi that's currently airing for a series with a main straight relationship. I'm watching that too.
>>290482498keep twitter tranny crap to that place and not mix it here
>>290482587Yes, he is just shitposting
>>290482567Anon, he's posting entirely in bad faith, this is what he does for fun, it's what he has in his cold and empty little life.
>>290482399So, the anti-ACK?
>>290482567it's implied by the gloating behavior of anons such as >>290441299
I don’t know what to believe anymore. I’m starting to think this entire show isn’t real and just a massive psyop meant to drive me specifically insane
>>290482981Believe in the you that believes in the show being real, anon.
>>290482934And you gonna post a fanart of Luca x Lara for that, nothing scary anon.
>>290482368I don't think we have any confirmation but if I had to guess both versions of the interview are "official" but they actually aren't 1:1 transcriptions of the original live interview
>>290483076Based on what others are saying elsewhere this is correct. The two articles focused on different things that were asked in the interview and neither of them recorded the full thing
>>290479040It’s called “good bye Lara”
>>290483240But who is saying goodbye to Lara?The reply to that question will decide if the anime is yuri or not
>>290483076At the end of the day it is an attempt to poison the well because now every Lara thread will have replies like "Oh your citing the fake interview!" and shit
I knew it after the prince join the cast, the threads were going to be shit, but I never expected to be THIS shit.
>>290483431At the end of the day Mari is the daughter of a Christian household and would never steep so low as to enter a sinful homosexual relationship
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFqCl_GvHe0
>>290483630Protestant so it's allowed.
>>290483630*blocks your path*
>>290480763This guy has been caught faking and editing results constantly, why do you repost this shit?
>>290479040Marry Mari. Huehuecall me basic, but I love short black hair on girls.
>>290483751Because people like them are not smart
>>290483660>>290483702Regardless we need not worry. After Lara turns to foam, we will get a sequel series where Mari gets sent to an all-girls Christian school and seduces the majority of the student body out of guilt for her lover’s passing.
>>290483783Deal but only if there's at least another fairytale princess or two among the students.
>>290480545That sound like a friendship ending. The staff don't want to piss off anyone and yurifags take friendship endings as yuri anyway
>>290483811
>>290480545It’s not a different interview, it’s two written descriptions of the same live interview that chose to include different parts of it in the respective articles
>>290483702It's literally a phase so it's OK
>>290483925Not for Sei or the author.
>>290483431Gaslighting shitposters are the absolute most annoying.
>>290483946Sei was punished for being a lesbian and the author fucking hates lesbians
>>290484016The author considered her work being called yuri to be the highest praise.
>>290483831Honestly I think people would get really pissed off if it’s not at least (if not more) explicit than Kaguya was
>>290482102Thought someone had modified a pic, but no. Perfect for these threads.
>>290479040This useless thread again...
>>290484156Someone start a new one with Lara and Mari kissing again
>>290484055You don't know yurifags. They'll take any scrap they can and claim they won. They're not only delusional but also prideful so they can't admit they bet for the wrong horse
>>290484050Really? Have any source? Because I always heard the author hated when people call Marimite yuri and she insist it was shoujo. That's consistent with the way lesbianism is treated in Marimite.
>>290484242Sounds like you just want to deny yuri to get back at yurifags.
Can anyone who thinks that this will end in het come up with a legitimate, non-trolling explanation for this picture?
>>290484242>You don't know hetfags. They'll take any scrap they can and claim they won. They're not only delusional but also prideful so they can't admit they bet for the wrong horseSame thing to be honest.If there will be friendship ending, both sides gonna say they "won" and no one gonna admit they lost cause no romantic ending either for het or yuri.
>>290484263From the second volume of the light novel:>On the internet dictionary page for “Maria-sama ga Miteru,” I read a lot of comments describing it as “soft but definitely yuri.” I laughed. Thanks, everyone, it’s the best compliment.
>>290484179Ok, you asked for it.>>290484419
>>290484280Teasing the otakus
>>290484509This image isn't romantic tho
>>290484536
>>290484762>looking at the fourth wall instead of each other
>>290484823I seriously doubt the fujos were fantasizing with a threesome. They wanted to see Ban and Ginji fuck
>>290484875If the art is meant to appeal to fujos, then art like the Lara one is meant to appeal to yurifags.
>>290484762>clearly has this shit saved on his computer Have a confession to make anon?
>>290484762
>>290485363anal in the ass
>>290484900But Ban and Ginji are canonically best friends
Are release day threads better?Might try to watch the episodes in time if that's the case.
>>290485493Not by much, really
>>290485493>Are release day threads better?lol It's been even worse than the week threads
>>290485493worst threads by a mile even after schizo theory of Lisa= Luca died. Nothing worthwhile to discuss, just stay in taiari threads.
>>290485643>even afterLisa = Luca was the most fun time to be in the threads.
What is going on here
>>290480699Oh you sweet summer child, localizers make up stuff all the time
>>290484457
>>290485783hetfag meltdown
>>290485937Why?
Not watching if this is not a girl.
>>290484080I hope whoever designed that logo gets a raise. A mermaid on a fishing hook for a bait shop is genius.
>>290486324It's a girl(male)
>>290479040>>290484419>mia film quality died for yuribaut console warsSad
>>290486597If that thread was at the bottom of page 10, then it probably wasn't that good.
>no japanese source>l-localizers would never make something up!>it was officially approved, look at this signature
>>290486708If anything shouldn't you thank the localizers then because they tricked people who enjoy yuri into watching 12 weeks of a het romance series?
Quality fanart
There are people watching this show who actually think that Leo is a crossdressing boy but there won't be an explicitly yuri ending because the writers are too timid
>>290488443That's the thing: Nips would rather show femboys and troons than explicit yuri.
People are starting to go insane
>>290488939I mean it’s true, they’re highlighting different parts of a live interview so this hasn’t confirmed or unconfirmed anything
>>290482587sorry but that was just an English-to-Japanese translation of the English interview
>>290480157>>290480699the interesting part is that even the questions don't match up completely
I remember one time a shitstorm happened when an unedited interview was accidentally published so I fully believe that the English version is no more of a fiction than the Japanese one.
>>290489948If one is fiction, it's 100% the english one
>>290479040>>290479076>not a YuriAmen
>>290482934Good thing they learn the lesson.
The previous princesses found true love for their underwater world.Lara will find true love for the whole world, both under and above water.It'll be an inconclusive ending where she's still friends with both Mari and Luca and not lovers with either of them.>I did my best to avoid making it a typical "yuri" anime" and to portray their relationship with strength and complexity.Here he's saying that a typical dual-female protagonist anime is a lighthearted yuri-subtext anime, and this is not going to be that kind of anime.Everything is solved. All you theory crafters can go home.Nobody won. Yurifags lost. Hetfags lost. Everyone lost.
>>290482102>>290486343>We are a unique female run bait company with unbeatable customer services, competitive prices but most importantly the belief that quality matters.
>>290487249It really is pretty good.
>>290490295The first design is pretty funny
>>290490180Lisa is portrayed as in the wrong.
>>290490022THAT JUST MEANS SHE LIKES WHAT I LIKE
>>290490484By pushing Lara away from the land, yes. Lara needs to love BOTH.
>>290487168It'll be open to interpretation. No kiss or love confession but yurifags will insist Lara and Mari are scissoring off-screen. We've been through this countless times. It's always the same
>>290488939Look like the staff don't want to offend anyone and not only gay marriage is legal in USA, for now, but also queers are extremely vocal in twitter
>>290491229leaving anything to interpretation in a show that has been about love itself would be horridly ass (so very possible for an anime original)
>>290490180>Hetfags lostYour parents are hetfags, otherwise, you wouldn't be here writing shit.
>>290491293Yurifags are pathetic enough to take it as a win
>>290487249I am sexually attracted to fishe.
>>290484536>>290484823
>>290492601>Threesome with Luca
>>290492643No one here wants to know about you wanting a threesome with Luca.
Imagine still talking about het when leaks have already confirmed Luca rejects Lara in the next episode because even he knows Lara isn't in love with him.
>>290479399I'm not really for our against Yuri but if have so much respect for this studio if they had the balls to upset the fanbase with a yuri fakeout and had Lara end up with the Prince in the end.
>>290495374ESLbro...
What's up with Westerners trying to push some sort of yuri agenda in shows that are marketed to Japanese viewers? I've seen on reddit what they want to push next, with them saying stupid shit like transyuri is yuri.
>>290480763Let's go hets
>>290495644Typical western entitlement. They still see non-whites as their inferiors and in need to be civilized
>>290495644I blame the French.
>>290480763I've been looking on pixiv and Luca receives a lot of fanart considering he got introduced just a couple of episodes ago. Most of his fanart is of course Luca/Lara.
>>290496153He's been getting fanart since the beginning of the show. He's just the next boy yumes can cling onto.
>>290496283I wonder how the yumes are going to react with the most plausible endgame Luca/Mari
>>290496309>plausible>two characters that have only interacted once and mari had utter disdain for luca and ignored him when he fell flat on his faceWhat sort of faggot cope is this?
>>290479040if it turns out yuri by the end, then i'll watch it.
>>290496757Why only watch something when you know how it ends?
>>290492643Mari would agree but only cause it would make Lara happy
>>290496793i would watch a good yuri show, not necessarily a nothingburger.
>>290479040I don't understand lisa's plan: she knows lala has to fall in love with a filthy human, so why even bother get in the way? They would fucking die if she doesn't
People are so focused on the yuri they don't pause to think about the fact that Mari is probably a wifebeater
>>290479040Another Flip Flappers lmao
>>290498435We watched Mari meet Lara by punching her in the face.Domestic violence is nothing if not yuri.
>>290498462>another good anime with great production values that remains good even if the main relationship isn't entirely explicitOh no...
>>290498326Her family will die or be in stasis forever if she does.
>>290498326>she knows lala has to fall in love with a filthy humanIn episode 8 she said that in the past it wasn't the love of a single person but the love for their underwater world that made everything work. But it isn't going to work this time.
>>290498326I imagine her plan was to force the witch to do something but yeah she's stupid
>>290498326She probably thinks she'll fail again and die. Then there well be no hope left for the merfolk. She did mention that she believes Lara is to scare to open up to a human again.
>>290498525>good animelollmao
>>290498525>flip flappers >not explicitMaybe if you watched with your eyes and ears closed
>>290491492They took gwitch as a win so yeah
>>290496464It's a twist ending and it follows the original tale
>>290498326She believes it's impossible for a human and a mermaid to be together as all other times it's failed. The only love she knows of is when a special princess felt love for the sea.
>>290499025>guelfag still seething after all these yearsthey shat out gcucks specifically for you and you still can't move on
>>290479040>>290484419Why are you Lara schizos so hellbent on outschizoing Bang Drean schizos?
wasnt aware newtype in english was still around
>>290498525>Cheap craptastic Hibikek wannabe>good anime
>>290484762>posts two characters who canonically love each other, their scenes were written as a romance, and are revealed to be literal Satan and Jesus who defied their families and broke the allegedly unavoidable prophecy with the power of loveWhat did anti-yurifag mean by this?
>>290491404Not all straight people are hetfags.
It's funny how the japanese side of fandom doesn't have any of this infighting and they're drawing a lot of group fanart
>>290502976People have posted things from 5ch (2ch?) That are similar to what is being posted here. There's a mix of reactions in Japan just like here.
So, from what I could infer from Lara's threads, if this anime goes full yuri it shall be remembered as one of the best anime of the year, if not the best. If it doesn't, it shall become one among many disappointing yuribait. Am I correct?I would disagree with this sentiment because, regardless of yuri or hetero, the anime is good in and of itself
FFM ending incoming
>>290505104Hopefully. Female fish x Mari.
>>290479040There are two female characters, so it will be yuri.
Thank God it's not yuri
>>290505115*Futa fish
Why Yuri Peoples serious on this show than Young Lady play Street Fighter?
>>290505760No they're fake yurifags. They think the likes of LWA and Hibike are yuri
>>290505760>Young Lady play Street Fighter.That's series barely focus on Yuri.
>>290503813I think the issue is that the show has a lot of visual motifs and framing that would suggest something in the yuri sphere. I also believe that the ending can be good regardless, but I even have multiple friends who aren’t into yuri at all seeing the visual cues as being something that’s hinting towards MariLara, then that says something. There’d be a dissonance in the narrative and the visual metaphors
>>290506151That's fair and I agree with you.But, sadly, it wouldn't be the first time, see Hibike or Aquatope.I've been baited many times already, so I'll wait to see the ending, because I learned that visual or narrative coherence is not often a valid indicator of what the ending is going be.Of course, you could argue that then the director would willingly worsen their own work. I would argue, though, that their idea and vision might be different from ours.At the end of the day, we'll just have to wait and see
>>290501118And now you know.
>>290505137But not a typical yuri.
>>290507962>>290508000I should I was just like herI mean her fitness, not her gender
Yuribait never wins
>>290508282Too bad for you then, this isn't yuribait.
>>290508405Yeah, it's ffm kino
>>290479040>yuritroons latch onto anime that isn’t actually yuri and make up fake interviews to copeMany such cases!>>290484280>Can anyone who thinks that this will end in het come up with a legitimate, non-trolling explanation for this picture?That’s not automatically romantic, your yurigoggles are on too tight.
>>290484280Just a reminder
>>290480157>Says “Goodbye Lara” is more based on the Hans Christen Anderson version of The Little Mermaid rather than the Disney movie>Gives Lara red hair like ArielFor what purpose?
>>290509540At least the prince has black eyes like in the fairy tale rather than blue like in the Disney movie.
>>290509379But yuri won. And Kai lost.
>>290509592Yes, just like Hibike!
>>290509632>bringing up an adaptation Keep seething kai shitter. It will never make him a winner.
>>290509540HCA never gives the mermaid any physical description aside from eyes as blue as the deepest sea and skin as clear and delicate as a rose petal.So maybe she should have Zoidberg-colored skin to be properly accurate. Or just red hair to keep the rose parallel.
>>290509660Why do you think I care about Kai.It still doesn't make Aquatope a yuri. After all they are "sisters" not "lovers"
>>290509540Japan loves Disney.
Will /a/ survive episode 10 leaks?
>>290509752Kai won in the long run anyway. When the girls decide to have babies, he will be the only male available
>remains on 1st placeLarachads can't stop winning
>>290510027I'm not gonna stay around to find out. I'm out after ep 9, originals shouldn't have spoilers for the final stretch like this.
>>290490022Gay tomboys are the cutest, thoughever.
>>290510660>I'm out after ep 9Why anon?
>>290510730Because I want to enjoy the last 3 episodes without anyone telling me cherry-picked moments from the ending.

FFM sissies, we wonned
>>290509540Everyone loves redheads
>>290510027I think it entirely depends on what the leaks are
>>290510826Luca is lucky

>>290514530If you post a decent question or comment there's a good chance you'll get a real response, but the threads default to shitposting.
>>290514553So it's a fake yuri fan
>>290514553So it must be Yuri then? Under the Filipino Definition la.
>>290514522Hey this doesn't align with my Aidor/u/fag Definition la.
>>290514553>>290514621You're the Definition of Obsession
Our DanceOur ShowOur Performance Our Stage
2016 Aidor/u/fag>Contains his autism to /u/ and shills his idolshits and yuribaits on the General Yuri Discussion Thread2026 Aidor/u/fag>Seethes and namefags over his ex-boyfriends across 4chan while pisses himself over Flips
>>290514590That, and the threads need to have a decent op too. Shitpost ops that start with torrents of trolls are going to be garbage unless there's more sane anons than idiots online, which isn't true except on days an episode releases and a day or so after it.
>>290514621I believe so. The hidden subclause after "strictly no important males." "If written by a Yuri fan, mangaka or doujinka, then it is Yuri."
So Ruri Rocks really is R/u/ri RocksRIP Ruri Rock/ss/
WHY!?Just fucking always why this shitty idol namefag and his boyfriend producerlover end shitting up the Lara thread?This is not idol shows for fuck sake, go somewhere else with your off-topic intentional shitposting.
>>290514824Under the Filipino Definition it is. But going by that Definition u149 is /u/149.
>>290514834They have been pissing around across /a/ and several other boards. That idol namefag has been bragging about his autism for 11 years
>>290514553It was written by a woman. They are capable of liking yuri and het and yaoi at the same time.
>>290514862Damn I didn't know this producer is a tomboy all this time
11 years of great memories and achievements
>>290514864So why they can't be banned? Why reporting them doesn't work? This is a classic example of fucking intentional shitposting, baiting and trolling as rules go.
>>290514903And you do all that shit FOR FREE
>>290514912That idolfucker has done shitload of mental illness in threads like yuri and Bang Dream threads. His most recent "narratives" include namefagging, crying about flips, and then this >>290497521 shit which hasn't been deleted despite being spammed 159 times as seen here >>290509096
Just post male producers or Luca to repel the racist idolfucker
anyone else think there’s gonna be a good payoff to the “don’t look away” lesson Mari learned from her mom? I guess episode 8 was kinda that, but I’m expecting more
>>290514988>>290486210>>290514621>>290514862I have no idea why this clown is so fascinated with flips. Clowns gotta be clowns, I guess
Try 600
I really wish I didn't let the other thread die.
Try being a normal human being for once, idolfag.
>>290515145Crack just be huge in his area
See? He's smoking too much pot
>>290515088"Don't look away" essentially just means to be honest and fight for your true desires, so yes there should be a payoff for it soon. Episode 8 wasn't just kind of that, it was obviously signaling Lara losing the stareoff because of her doubt in Luca compared to Mari's feelings of worry, they're going to keep the "don't look away" motive in mind. And also, there's been a focus on Mari giving side glances to Lara every episode after 3, so again, her and the writers are definitely keeping that in mind.
And a piss poor poet at it
>>290515295all very good points. And in a similar way, a big message of the show so far is that Lara herself has been “looking away” from the love in front of her by trying to fulfill some foregone fantasy that doesn’t exist. Both of them are definitely going to need to reconcile with this avoidance.In fact, I wonder if this is why episode 8 didn’t have Mari make direct eye contact with Lara at the boxing match. We’re not at that stage yet.
>>290509540to not get sued. it is based as much on the original HCA (the tragic end of the tale) as well as the disney movie (Lara literally has her own cave of stuff she got from the surface like Ariel, the Witch's eels are a connection to those Ursula has and there was a red crab in the first episode).
>>290509540I think they said in an interview that Lara was originally conceived as blonde but decided red stood out more. Probably some Disney influence but could also just be convergent design with red standing out well with ocean blue in animation.
>>290514912Same reason why some Madoka and Dragonball shitposters haven't been banned yet.That idolfag brags about being a phoneposter. He has been banned several times on both /a/ and /u/ and sometimes, he gets away with it. Either the mods are incompetent or not enough anons who care about the problem.>>290515191The other thread was already fucked and it would have been fucked anyway. The idolfag goes where his archnemesis goes or where he believes he's in. He's been obsessing about him for years.
>>290515810Don't reply to me, annoying faggot. I do not care about your bogeyman.

>>290525769Probably.
>>290519541get real, all the schizos like you care about is if it ends yuri or not yuriyou've had faggots literally say as much in these threads, that their enjoyment completely hinges on their ship winning at the end, that it doesn't matter how much they like the show if the end "ruins" it; despite ostensibly enjoying the show as it is right now since they're watching it weekly.Also really telling how "my ship not sailing" is conflated with "bad ending" in your addled minds.
>>290526001legit what would be the point of them having the same favorite color if they’re not connected (and it being white of all things like whose favorite color is that anyway)
>>290526001>>290526288The episode will make this clearer, but from the leaks it definitely seems suspicious that Grace is ready to finally spring into action as soon as Lara activates the giant fish through her failed confession.
>>290526288Luca's favorite color is pure white because things like pure whute flowers area beautiful and he loves beautiful things. Grace's favorite color is white because she was gay for her sister who had white colored eyes.
>>290526361the Grace unrequited incest love plotline is gonna go so hard
>>290526288>>290526361It might just be that white = light and that both characters are related to that. Grace likes white because it's both her sister's eye color and she's invested in finding the light of true love through Lara, while Luca like white because he's been stated to be interested in seeing the beauty of things, so it might refer to him being able to see the beauty of Lara's light of true love even if she can't see it (because she doesn't understand that it only shines around Mari yet). Or Luca is a seagull. I just find that theory funny.
looks like Lara and Mari went on another non-canon date that I’m sure the writers will be quick to mention is a “what-if” that will never happen in the real story
You think humans killed Lara's mom?
>>290526414Definitely possible. Something pretty bad has to have happened between mermaids and humans for the mermaids to be so strict about not interacting with them
>>290526403>ooks like Lara and Mari went on another non-canon date It's isn't a date, stop projecting. Not eveything they post are with romantic undertunes. Except about that bonus poster, that's fucking ultra gay,
>>290525799>spend the last 3 episode going out with a guy>telling everyone the guy is he true love>/a/; she’s definitely in love with a girl that’s giving her a place to stay?
>>290526623They're just coping, as always
>>290526623Retard, she's in love with the tomboy.
>>290526686Proof?
>>290526693
>>290526623>telling everyone the guy is he true loveYou're definitely watching the show with your eyes and ears closed if that's your take-away of these past couple episodes.
>>290526623But they're not showing any of the developments with luca. They are showing the developments with Mari. As if certain developments are more worth spending screentime on than others.
The ones here are just shitposters, but there will genuinely be people who won't understand why Lara's confession to Luca fails.
>>290526700Not romantic love, just affection and care, platonic or familial love if you want
>>290526707Not romantic development though
>>290526731Someone having a different opinion doesn't make them automatically shitposter, reddit kun
>>290526743Cute cope.
>>290526732If you think that's a face from someone that think the other is family then you need to watch more shoujos.
>>290526761You prefer being filed as a retard who can't follow a story then.
>>290526762Proof of it being romantic?
>>290526761It does when they ignore basic facts or have the media literacy of a fucking toddler.
I for one am most interested in the leaker's latest spin on each successive episodeLooking forward to xer reaction to the ending the most
>>290526776>>290526782Until there is actual explicity yuri development, their opinion has as much worth and validity as yours, it's all about interpretation anyway, which could, in turn, differ from the director's vision as well.
>>290526779Retarded fucking zoomer. You haven't watched the show.
>>290526813Kek I accept your concession faggot
>>290526807This is some pathetic cope. Truly, truly pathetic.
>>290526827You're all so predictable and boring, always cope this and that when you cannot argue or defend your positions or accept that people have different points of view.You still have to post proof of there being something clearly and inequivocally romantic between Lara and Mari. I am waiting!
>>290526066Lisa likes green because Kota is green. Rowan likes emerald green because he is a narcissist who loves his own eye color.
>people keep biting the obvious baitstop giving him the attention he's begging for you tards
>>290524380>>290525506I didn't realize Lara and Lisa were the same height. That small difference in the heel height of their shoes was enough to make me think Lisa was more taller.
Is it Sunday yet
>>290526873Not wasting time explaining the show to you. You're too fucking retarded to waste time on.
>>290526996Good, I accept your concession too!Man if this is the level of people watching this anime, the last episode is going to be amazing!
>>290526993That's a very cute picture
>>290526873Proof of there being something clearly and unequivocally romantic between Lara and Luca?
>>290526993Soon.
>>290527047Never said there was, I'm not that anon.I simply think the anime will not have a romantic ending at all, there is nothing to prove otherwise without doubts yet, although I would absolutely welcome a yuri ending for once ffs
>>290526806the leaker is pretty unbiased desu
>>290527143>pretty unbiased desuHe's a yurifag
>>290510250I'm watching 2 of the shows in the top 10 oh god am I into the mainstream now
>>290527176lol it’s pretty obvious that he’s not. I don’t think he cares either way
>>290527392Gigantic boxing gloves.
>>290527412the boxing gloves stay on during sex
At this point Lara could tell Mari in episode 12 "I love (aishiteru) you" and people in the thread would argue she meant I love you to all of humanity but that Mari served as humanity's representative
the troon fish is going to kill Mari next episode
>>290527466that’s gonna be the ending so you’re spot on
>>290527466Lara eating Mari out is a metaphor for her inviting all of Shiga to dinner.
Wake up babe new interview just dropped:https://mantan-web.jp/article/20260828dog00m200064000a.html
>>290527644Goddamn region lock
>>290527644nothingburger interview
>>290525799>Male and female can be friends without fucking.No, 95% of men consider women too vapid to befriend.Besides, most women aren't really interested in male friends either.Friendship between men and women is only possible if both are married to someone else, and even then there's a vector risk there. Or alternatively, incompatible sexual orientations.
>>290502947Likewise, not all yurifags are straight.
I noticed that in this sequence all the sisters hold Lara's hand in different ways. Are there some deeper meanings to how you hold someone's hand that these might symbolize?
Ignoring whether it's yuri or not I think relationship between Lara and Mari needed way more bonding moments to feel natural. I know it's been developing subtly in the background but still feels kinda rushed. With this pacing wouldn't be surprised if writers consider ep 8 to be good enough for their development and we will get nothing more till the final episode.
>>290527176Why to lie? He liked Luca and Lara together so he is sad about the rejection.
>>290529291No, there's no third page.
>>290527644Nice
>>290529291feet detected
>>290483702Does Maria-sama watches over fishes too?
>>290528048My sentiments exactly. There were many great opportunities for some bonding scenes between Lara and Mari but the creators never took them. It's like they're doing it on purpose, almost.
>>290514770I completed a challenge now go forth and conquer my future self.Deliver one final blow. Finish what SHiN Sensei started

Would you look at that, a new pic from tomorrow's episode.
>>290530720>This doesn't taste like chocolate...
>>290525667>hates insects, summer, and vegetables Luca is such a turbo faggot, holy shit.
>>290530720>drinks a potion before the confession>that depressed faceIt's over for Luca
>>290530807how would you like humid Japanese summers with cicadas making anime noises 24/7?
Luca needs to win
>>290530951at least one game of CoD Modern Warfare 4 when it launches.
>>290525667What is Luca's favorite FPS?
Lara looks so pretty with miserable eyes i hope she is never happy again
>>290530720>suddenly a gust of wind blows all of that dramatically flowing hair back in her face
>>290531290She'll be over the moon at first when she marries Mari but the smile will gradually fade as Mari's punch drunk syndrome gets worse and worse.
pretty striking similarity between the concept trailer blush (when Lara sees Luca) and the episode 3 blush. And we haven’t seen it this way anywhere else. Hmm
>>290531844It was discarted and they made Mari the love interest intead
>>290531886won’t make a solid statement on that but it definitely seems like certain plot points were changed from the concept trailer
>>290531886That would be a massive shift and not really fit with what Koide said about the show's production, but I can't rule it out. I hope they talk about mid-production changes once the show is over since some definitely happened such as Luna being cut, and it would be very interesting.
>>290531908Yeah and she looks much more in love with the face that she makes on episode 3 than the pilot movie trailer
>>290531844Worth noting that the top also led into her comically fainting while bottom ended up being completely serious.
>>290531942it’s interesting for sure. I think the overall message even in the concept trailer is probably the same as what we’ve got, in that Lara is ultimately going to have to move past her mermaid life and her preconceived notions of love. But Luca’s role still seems a bit different from how it’s hinted at in the concept trailer. They don’t even show his face or anything
Soon
>>290531844I like how in the concept she looks somewhat disturbed but in the episode 3 one she looks genuinely infatuated
>>290531886Nah, concept was relationship between Lara and Mari from the beginning. Concept trailer just doesn't spoil the plot twist.
>>290530909>humid Japanese summersno>cicadas making anime noises 24/7yes
>>290532743No anon, at some point you just want them to shut up. Cicadas are fucking noisy.
Luca the winner
>>290479040>"yuri" has been confirmed fakedropped
>>290532715I would say they did a really good job at making Mari seem like a small side character in the trailer lol. I guess her carrying Lara at the end is supposed to be a hint in that case? Or just funny
>>290533798The trailer is like that but all the concept art and promo art has always been strictly Lara and Mari as far back as 2024.
>>290530878>Lara still not putting two and two togetherShe's not the brightest, is she? Bless her non-existent soul.
Getting a little nervous cuz it feels like there’s a lot to wrap up in 3 episodes (based on what the leak says happens in episode 9)
>>290534585This show really feels like planed for 24 episodes and 2 cours than what we got as result. Seems much content was cut off and the rest from episode 6 looks like on speed run per episode.
>>290519256>>290519194>post doesn't mention anything about boys or Luca>somehow hallucinate and quote something that doesn't existDo we have to add schizophrenia to the list of mental illnesses yurifags have?
>>290534951Many such cases
where the FUCK is my fan art of Mari as a mantis shrimp
>>290525701>140 cmImagine...
>>290531942>>290534951this is why I think the story could’ve actually seen a pretty big shift in where it’s supposed to go, especially with stuff like Mari. The concept trailer seems like maybe it was built with a 24 ep story in mind, hence why we’d get less hints about Mari as well. Maybe they were even going to try and have a more convincing romance between Lara and Luca but had to cut a lot of it out for time
>>290535127You specifically targeted people talking about yuri instead of people talking about romance in general so you obviously are biased to one side. You people have an extreme lack of self awareness.
I’m of two minds on the idea that it was once 24 eps during planning because one on hand more slice of life slower pacing might make the final message more impactful but on the other hand I could very well see it getting old and boring very quickly. Honestly I’d rather studios just get in the habit of doing however many episodes they need and not an arbitrary number. Maybe this show would be perfect with like 15-16
>>290535397>Honestly I’d rather studios just get in the habit of doing however many episodes they need and not an arbitrary number. Maybe this show would be perfect with like 15-16Not how airing slots work.
>>290535397The problem is that the industry isn't set up for doing things like that. You sometimes get odd numbers (like 11 or something) but often when that happens it has streaming involved in some way. Like Bakemonogatari having 15 episodes and other strange episode numbers. I do agree that the cour system often causes issues.
>>290535127>schizophreniaBut that's a antiyurifag illness, just look at the deleted posts in this thread: https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/290426876
Genuinely tho what does Luca actually say to Lara when she confesses.The most predictable answer is he returns the sentiment but with a very clear platonic angle (“you’re a great friend!” or something)Either that or his autism starts showing and he just talks about how aesthetically pleasing Lara is and he loves painting herAlso the possibility he does return the confession, but Lara doesn’t actually feel anything and as a result nothing happens.

>>290519150No, not really. people that constantly whiny about shippers are more annoying

>>290535656>Genuinely tho what does Luca actually say to Lara when she confesses.
>>290525667Him having such a neat room and then a random bag of chips in the middle of it looks so odd. Also there looks to be another can of this >>290525769 drink on his desk. In this shot the can seems to have some star shaped logo on it that the shape kind of resembles the logo that was on the back of his phone.
>>290535656It depends on the sequence of events. If Luca's conversation with Mari happens first then maybe he can tell that they should be together. Or maybe the way she says things to him makes him realize she's forcing herself.
>>290535656It's going to be about what Lara says. She'll confess but it'll be something like "I need you to be my true love, so I can stay with Mari forever like I promised!", and he'll be like "okay I think you kinda need to unpack what you just said a little by yourself".
>>290518957>Lucahomo pretending they aren't the ones shitting up threads
>>290536136>LucahomoI'm pretty sure the ones shitting up threads are shitposters, and those don't watch the show. They simply use Luca as a tool for their shitposting, which is unfortunate because Luca is a likeable character. My autistic twink doesn't deserve this.
>>290536383Fair.
>>290536383my condolences, anon. they really do make it quite hard to see that a chill lucabro can be a thing.
