The funny thing is, the one who drew this likes Luca with Lara, but more Luca-leaning since he's a pretty, slender-looking boy. Also, they're mad at Lara for using him and want her to properly apologise to him when it all ends.

He tries his best. He did attempt to take her out on a nice date even if he was ultimately too autistic to notice she wasn't enjoying it, he tries to understand her but she just isn't honest with him because she doesn't actually love him, he shares his favorite drink with her, she just hates it, he remembers that she hates the drink and gives her another drink later, he stops her from kissing him since he could tell she didn't genuinely want to, etc. Like, his problem isn't being an asshole, it's being a bit obtuse and also not actually being compatible with her.

No. I bet you get a boner from mean people too.

>>290705092
But that's exactly why he's self-centered. Also his first date is buying them two buns and then eating them both in front of her. And as far as we know, he didn't stop Lara from kissing him because he could tell that she didn't want to, he did it because HE's a coward and didn't feel ready to commit like that. Everything he does is ultimately pretty selfish. And I don't really understand why they chose to write him this way.

>>290705255
I don't think the writers intended for him to be hated either, but to me that just underscores how much he sucks.
It's really really easy to make a "lovable loser." It's every damn harem MC in existence. The key is no matter how pathetic they are, they try to put the girl first. No matter how much they suck ass otherwise, that is the one thing that is meant to make them redeemable. They did not do that with Luca. That is a choice.
How do you interpret the scene where he confides in Mari that he doesn't feel like he truly knows Lara? Because it's a scene that shows that he should care, but also it's like holy shit dude, of course you don't know her, you've been going out for two months and you literally haven't learned the first thing about her, because you've never asked.

It's easy to assume they exchanged numbers when the three of them were hanging out. Also, after what happened in ep 8, it makes sense for the two of them to want to have each other's numbers incase something happens with Lara again.

So What's? Lara and Mari will cut tie with Luca after Both become couple?
>>
>>290706992
You are allowed to have friends even when you are dating someone. Although, after what happened in last episode, their relationship is probably going to be awkward for a bit. Lara seemed to genuinely have fun in a friendship way with him when they were hanging out. The times she didn't look happy she was either worrying about other things or weak from turning into foam. I feel the reason their relationship didn't work out was fully because of Lara's time limit. I saw some chink talking about an interview in the Spoon 2di. Apparently it said that Lara's and Luca's love was like a flower bud that, with time and care, could have blossomed. But because of Lara's time limit messing things up it ended up getting plucked. This is also supported by the light we see in relation to Luca. It is small, but it still was definitely there.
>>
>>290707175
Maybe if Mari hadn't been there either, but those conditions mean completely changing the situation.
>>
Lesbian scissoring soon
>>
>>290707175
>fully because of the time limit
I'm going to have to stop you there. It was never going to work out even if they had years. They're fine as friends, but even without a time limit there are multiple hints that they simply aren't compatible as romantic interests, from Luca not being able to notice that she's obviously scared of heights on their first date and even eating the croquettes when we've been shown she expresses and feels love through gifts, his own tastes being something she actively dislikes (his favorite drink) instead of things she doesn't understand but supports (Mari's boxing), and of course Lara feeling absolutely nothing after more than a month of dating, which is more than enough time to know if you actually love someone, especially for someone with Lara's personality. If more time were given it'd just be another year of her listlessly wondering when the warmth she feels for him will become love.

If Luca was real, would you fuck him?

She was destined to be with Mari if we take into account her ring changed color the moment they "met".

During the fireworks scene we see Yoshiya taking pictures while looking not that happy and then surprised. What if Yoshiya can actually see the fish dagger and noticed it in the pictures as it was in the middle of the event. He has just been keeping quiet because the first time he tried to point it out to his friends they didn't see it and he didn't want to seem crazy.
>>
>>290709173
It will happen next episode, probably Mari asking what did happen
>>
>>290709306
It was turning to night as the episode ended so Mari most likely rushes out to Luca to hear what happened with Lara. There is preview picture of them together during day time too so maybe they realize something bad must be going on and spend then night out looking for Lara. Staying out the whole night without contacting them while her room is left ransacked would give Mari's family a good reason to be upset at her. Mari wants to go back out to keep looking for Lara but then granny grounds her to her room.

>>
Aren't you tired of asking the same questions on a loop? Jesus.
>>
>>290711016
Because they don't have souls? Or they don't want to sacrifice each other
>>
>>290711112
You fags are always the same if the show was pushing Lara/Luca as a genuine thing you'd by jumping and down about how true love is romantic but because the only possible alternative is Mari suddenly we see the "well true love doesn't have to be romantic"
>>
>>290711021
>>290711272
>Soul
wait? merfolks need human soul to created the light?
>>
will magic mirror come into play again?
>>
>>290711016
Because Lisa is unable to recreate the light, remember that she even got a researcher to do it but couldn't either. Only Lara can and the only one who knows how is Grace, Grace likely got saved from getting foam'd after taking the potion because of Lara's mother and her light
>>
Speaking of, Lara's mother has been suspiciously absent from the plot despite being on the opening
>>
>>290711680
She Dead.
>>
>>290711005
She looks so fucking cool
>>
>>290711327
>Because they don't have souls?
They do, they just don't keep them alive for so long tho (i'm not sure if it's the same with sayolara)

>>290711374
In the original Little Mermaid, it was said that the mermaid does have a soul, but not sufficient to keep them alive for eternity or make them immortal, just a couple hundred years, then they'll disintegrate into seafoam.

The only way they can obtain a soul that keeps them alive for eternity is if a human falls in love with a mermaid more than they love their own family, and marries the mermaid, then part of the human's soul gets shared with the mermaid, so she ends up with one too, while the human still keeps their own soul.

i hope it's not that confusing.
>>
>>290711808
sharing a soul huh?, i wonder if the 3 years old mari and lara claps their hand together in the opening is the show foreshadowing that kind of thing will happen
>>
I wonder peoples around Nikolai's treat Lara's well?
>>
GraMari shippers rise
>>
>>290711808
>In the original Little Mermaid, it was said that the mermaid does have a soul
No
No
No
In the original, the mermaid's primary motivation is to have a soul, so that she will go to heaven when she dies rather than cease to exist. Finding a human's love is a means to that end.
It's not at all difficult to find a decent translation online.
>>
>>290712073
oh my bad, it's been a long time since i read it.
>>
>>290711808
>while the human still keeps their own soul.
so this means the human is alive not death.

as we know koide got inspired by the original then that means whoever willing to share a soul with lara is not getting their head chopped or death? that's honestly possible

Mari and Lara will end up together, but the show will acknowledge that gay marriage isn't legal. That's why Lara will marry Yoshiya instead to make her officially part of the family. Yoshiya will stay virgin forever for the sake of their happiness.

Sure. The man who is Lara's father and was literally married to the last special princess would have nothing to contribute to this story at all.

Also the last time we saw him, he took one look at Lisa and said "damn bitch you ugly" and begged for Lara's light like a drug addict begging for another hit.

They replayed eps 1 and 2. They enjoyed that Americans actually emoted because Japanese don't react to anything.

Shiori Tani did a live drawing of Lara cuddling Bucky the Beaver.

They didn't allow attendees to ask questions and had a pre-made list of soft ball questions. Koide says his inspirations for Lara were Miyazaki and and Junichi Sato, but didn't say there was a particular work. Nothing particularly interesting.

Not really, Shaddiq never dated Miorine and never had any chance to do so, it's more he was one-sidely into her where he even destroyed their childhood friendship in the end than support her.
Here you have Lara who dates Luca, both mutually and willingly, and Lara basically forces herself on him too strong which makes him back off.

Yes as friends.
And he didn't even belive in Miorine to act as her protector and partner while playing some retarded 3D chess game by putting Guel as her abuser.
Still this has nothing to do with either Lara or Luca situation, your comaprison is completly amiss so it sounds retarded why you brought it here.
>>
>>290722398

>>290722747
She won't lose shit, but we won't get the kiss and this is depressing as fuck.
>>
>>290722756
I mean, they do it for a reason. Yuri is a niche and yuri fans are a minority. Marketing your original show as yuri and/or making the girls explicit dykes is a surefire way to make it fkop.
>>
So the interview pretty much says that Luca looking like prince is just for contrast and there won't be any big plot twists with him. He's just an ordinary guy.

>What was the intention behind making the Prince and Luca look exactly alike?

>Episode 1 depicts how Lara ultimately failed to end up with the Prince.
>But with only the amount of time available in Episode 1, that inevitably feels somewhat rushed. And I also didn’t want to simply resolve all of Lara’s feelings toward him through flashbacks alone.
>So we introduced a character who, while not actually the Prince’s reincarnation, nevertheless gives the impression that he might be.
>Through that, we wanted Lara to properly come to terms with the question of “What exactly does the Prince mean to her?”
>I felt that, in order to delve more deeply into Lara’s heart, going through this process was perhaps necessary as a kind of rite of passage for her.
Lucafags btfo lmao
>>
>>290722989
They indirectly confirmed the prince was never her true love either then.
>>
The VA saying that fans’ interpretations are all valuable or some shit makes it clear as day that they’re not going to do anything explicit with Mari and Lara and we’re getting a reiteration of the same thing for the nth time

>>290722761

>In Episode 3, Lara’s emotions change because of Mari’s words, after which the dagger appears. It’s a very memorable scene. Was there anything you particularly focused on in directing it? And how did you want to portray Lara’s feelings at that moment?

>By Episodes 2 and 3, Lara had become extremely withdrawn.
>Given everything that happened in Episode 1, we deliberately chose to portray her that way.
>But I felt that unless we completely swept away those gloomy emotions Lara had been keeping bottled up inside, it would become painful for the audience watching her as well.
>At the same time, around this point I also wanted viewers to begin seeing the first budding signs of the relationship between Lara and Mari.
>With that in mind, rather than portraying it through something delicate and understated, I felt that this episode called for something firm, substantial, and emotionally weighty.

>That’s why we ultimately directed the scene the way we did.
>The dagger had already appeared in the original concept PV.
>For me, it was an extremely important image, so >I absolutely wanted to incorporate it properly into the finished series.
>What it symbolizes is the choice Lara faces:
>Will she take the other person’s life for her own sake, or will she allow herself to disappear into sea foam?
>Because the dagger represents such a choice, I felt that when it appeared, it needed to be presented in a way that was vivid and impossible to forget.
>I designed the dagger myself.
>I didn’t want it to exist simply as a blade. I wanted it to connect directly with the emotional side of Lara.
>That’s why I incorporated into its design imagery that suggests something “devouring” or “swallowing up” its target.
>And I connected that imagery with the emotion of:
>“Wanting to make the other person belong to you.”

Not really? That choice was seen in the flashback to the dagger trying to eat the prince. Lara stops it with her willpower and turns into foam instead. Of course the threat is going to happen again in the climax, the dagger resurfaced supersized.

>Episode 6 tells the story of Lara’s older sister, Lisa. What did you pay particular attention to when portraying Lisa, and what was most important to you when depicting the relationship between Lisa and Kota?

>For me, Lara is a character I have to confront head-on, so to be honest, there are times when portraying her can become painful.
>With Lisa, on the other hand, I naturally find myself wanting to portray her as someone noble and dignified. Because of that, she’s a character I find relatively easy to get into the right mindset for, and the more I work with her, the more naturally the portrayal comes to me.
>And when I say “noble,” I don’t simply mean that she has a strong sense of pride.
>Rather, there are things within her heart that she wants to protect, and things that she deeply treasures. That’s something I find myself strongly wanting to convey.
>Even when she reveals her weakness, I consciously try to make sure that there is still a certain nobility and dignity within that vulnerability.
>As for Lisa and Kota, I consider their relationship to be one of the purest relationships in the entire series.
>That was something I absolutely wanted to preserve.
>I wanted to portray their relationship as a pure love without stagnation or impurity
Lisa and Kotabros won

>I believe nearly everything that has come out from these interviews was already obvious
Up to interpretation/super friendship ending with a Luca end timeskip was very obvious.

Anime originals are the last place to look for yuri

>Episode 8 was an episode where Lara and Mari’s respective feelings became especially visible.
>Episode 8 was a story that took us quite a long time to complete.

>On one hand, the episode deals with the deadline for the medicine gradually approaching. >On the other, that deadline happens to fall on the very same day as the match Lara had originally intended to attend to cheer Mari on.
>Because the script contained several different layers of things happening simultaneously, we had to carefully organize all of those conditions and rules.
>While thinking, “We need to keep the focus on Lara and Mari,” at the same time, we also had to figure out how Luca, who had been introduced in Episode 7, should fit into this episode.
>So my most straightforward impression of Episode 8 is simply:
>It was really difficult.
>Also, Mari’s feelings aren’t particularly easy to read directly, so we repeatedly experimented with how we could portray them in such a way that her emotions would gradually seep through the visuals, little by little.
>>
>>290723016
Her ring never resonated for him either. Her heart fish attacks fake true loves apparently.

>>290723638
It attacked Kota, did you think he was Lara's true love?
>>
>>290723616
>respective feelings
Yuri confirmed
>>
>Finally, do you have a message for the readers?

>From Episode 10 onward, as the story gradually moves toward its conclusion, all sorts of things may happen that none of you are imagining at all right now.

>However, throughout the entire production, we have always approached both Andersen’s The Little Mermaid and Lara as a character with seriousness and sincerity.

>So I truly hope you’ll stay with us and watch the story all the way to the end.

What did he mean by this?

>all sorts of things may happen that none of you are imagining at all right now
Yoshiya is literally Jesus and walks on the waters of Lake Biwa to save the townspeople by offering himself to the fish.
>>
>>290723655
Ok then it attacks anyone she doesn't love.
>>
>Mari, we'll always be together!
>Yes, you'll always be my best friend!
Looks like friendship kino is back on the menu, boys
>>
>>290723454
Even if it's obvious, confirming things with still 3 episodes left instead of leaving any bit of hope is still stupid. Like we could probably guess that Luca isn't related to the prince at all but why confirm it outside of the show when the show is still running? And already talking about things being up to interpretation is also stupid and just makes you seem like cowards while the show is still running.
>>290723586
But /a/ told me anime originals are the best part of anime. Not that I think yuri needs to be there to be good, but if anime originals can't actually take risks and are all safe bullshit then why do people suck them off so much?
>>
>>290723737
We know by "none of you" he always means the retards in the audience, so basically "self-love", "love for humanity", and "friendship" are all off the table.

>Since her mother Keiko's death, Mari has felt a void in her heart. It's through her encounter with Lara that this void can be filled. That's the idea behind shaping Mari.

>>
>>290724048
>>290724170
>>290724306
How is the director pretentious anyway? The symbolism and themes have been pretty straightforward, most of the confusion stems from not having the whole picture yet
>>
>>290724367
The retards don't even know how to interpret the text, she didn't say that this won't go full yuri in the end or leave into the interpretation in the end too. Hetcuks baited again kek.
>>
>>290724432
>”I think this is a work that incorporates many elements, allowing each person to form their own interpretation”
what are you talking about
>>
>>290724432
Isn't this interview translated from Chinese which was translated from a Japanese source we don't have? I wouldn't take it 100% literally either way
>>
>>290724425
He constantly infers that people won’t get the symbolism though
>>
>>290724425
It mostly just stems from him acting like the show is super hard to understand when it really isn't. But if we take the viewpoint he's talking about casual watchers and not terminally online autists, then his words make more sense.
>>
>>290724306
I would love to watch a Breaking Bad but with lesbians...
>>
What is the source of this interview?
>>
>>290724464
Her words are also up for interpretation.
>>
>>290724544
There's probably already a genderbent fanfic of them out there, so.
>>
>>290724544
The same guy did Pluribus. Which has nothing to do with breaking bad but is an excellent lesbian show nonetheless.
>>
>>290724533
I think it’ll reflect pretty poorly on him from fans like us as well as the general audience if the supposed or obvious symbolism amounts to nothing despite all his auteur-esque commentary.
>>
>>290724633
Japs don't have a spine so it will keep happening.
>>
>>290724575
I don’t understand that viewpoint at all. She’s saying that fans have certain ways they look at things and she hopes people can keep doing that. What could she possibly be referring to otherwise?
>>
>>290724464
The show doesn't have a character explaining how you should feel every five minutes so you can come with your own conclusions as you watch it
>>
>>290723890
Yuri doesn't have articles dedicated to how the MC would have totally fallen in love with the male love interest but now has to settle with whatever the next 3 episodes are going to go with.
>>
>>290724633
It's all been so deliberate so I don't think it'll amount to nothing. He doesn't seem to be as good at interviews though, which isn't a surprise. Just because someone can make a good show doesn't mean they're good at expressing those ideas while talking.

The original Japanese source doesnt even mention that she is in love, rather that she started loving him.

God I hope they release Grace plushies soon
>>
>>290724746
I believe it either eats part of Grace's huge body but she doesn't die or instead of eating anyone the dagger is internally bleeding because Lara's heart is in pain
>>
>>290724790
The staff said in an early interview that they sat down to discuss what true love is to them in order to present a nuanced take. That you don't end up choosing whom you fall in love with even when you think you've found the one is an avenue worth exploring.

It's based on a classic fairytale so there's no sexual element. There should be a kiss based on the fact there were two failed ones but it would be a pure one as much as I'd like to see some tomboy tongue on stitched tongue action.
