Ultimate Form
>>290753628It's a magical setting. That shouldn't be a problem. Rowan's daughters born from shells after all
>two scenes of Luca and Yoshiya interacting>ten times more chemistry than Luca had with Lara or MariI see how it is.

>>290753251>Luca about to fucking deport Lara by outing her to the policeUseless faggot
I hope you appreciate my autism because this took way too long to make.
>>290753957Luca repeatedly giving up like this is why he would've never had a chance with Lara.
>>290753976Nice catch anon. Here's a (you) for your many hours.
>>290753251Don't believe artist lies. Mermaids are sluts.
>>290753976What the fuck, I recognized a few but didn't think almost every random character was in that artwork.
>>290753976HOLY SHIT THE PRINCE IS STILL ALIVE
>>290753976Jesus anon, that's some dedication.
>>290753803Imagine falling for such an obvious red herring
>>290753982He unironically can't handle her. Lara's weirder, grosser, and much more dangerous than the "beautiful" mermaid he believed she was before, and only Mari, the girl who punched her with no warning at the start, can.
>>290754050>The Prince reincarnated but he's just living his life>Luca's just some randoKINO
>>2907538414kids dubs be like
>>290753822I've been loving Grace since episode 1.
>>290754156Anthony bourdain? I love that guy!
>>290753976Could Mozart still be alive?
>>290754156>yurifags are handsome and successful millionaires with influence over global politics and access to real cunnyNot the slander you think it is.
>>290753949Hey, Mari isn't a boy just because she looks like one
>>290753786Mari hates water now.
>>290753591>>290753774>>290753901Trash fagslop
>>290754358>Grace is still somehow alive>Tells Mari the whole story>Mari knows what to do now>Lara angst and Lisa shouting at her to just LOVE and bring LIGHTI guess it'll be like that next ep.
>>290754358I fucking love you. Thank you.
>>290753628Many fish can change gender to mate.
>>290754358Classic youtube poop energy.
>>290753628Other way around, Lara will fertilize Mari's egg cluster.
>>290754487Mermaids can't grow dicks, anon.
Virgin Mari will remain technically virgin, and her daughter (by Lara) will be the Mermaid Savior.
Luca needs to win
>>290754575Jeez, did you even watch the episode?
>>290754575They don't need to "grow" it, it's already there, in its sheath.
>>290754650Lara is going to give mari a piercing? lewd...
Rowan will become an avid browser of footwiki after everyone is saved.
So Lara will Stop go Date with Luca? And He never finished his Lara's art?
>princess penetrating the prince That's not right
>>290754577Anal still counts in the modern era
Lara's mom's name fits the R/L merfolk names too, predictably. The only question is why the fuck Luca and Leo have those same kinds of names too.
>>290754756>It's okay, Lara. If it's to save your family and race, I will gladly die. Now penetrate me as hard as you can! Don't hold back!
The yumes feel threatened
>>290753748Mari es Ultima
>>290754908>the NTR stare
>>290754908LMAO isn't that the artist that at one point drew her avatar on a date with Luca? Funny that she's continuing drawing that series like this. She just needs to convince both of them to fuck her.
>>290754798atp it's probably just a fun easter egg that doesn't mean anything. Also, you're starting to sound like a homestuck you know...
>>290754255Based
>>290754756If this show breaks the curse of tomboys always being the top I will clap
>best character and best design in the anime is a literal fish
>>290754027Only before "fish fister" Mari gets a hold of them
why does /a/ suddenly like fishe
>>290753841Baffling how 4kidz caused so much damage.
>>290755175We'll love any animal if it's gay.
kino
Luca Bro.
>>290755267Why didn't Lara just smooch Mari right then and there instead of waiting six months and letting things get so dire?
>>290753976Oh, shit. Does Lara want to make Mari sing again?
Luca can still win once Mari dies.
>>290755267director-sama I kneel
>>290753976I forgot Ouji and his new girlfriend.
>>290754097Tbf Mari didn’t get to see the bizarre frogs spawning from flowers.
>>290753251
Someone who done the subtitles of the show said next episode it's tearjerker.
>>290755328Because she's a slow fish, she realized too late.
>>290755267There is a straight explanation for this, anon.
>>290755406Sauce??
>>290755388That's rude.
>>290755383Very top right next to the Andeken manager are probably the mom and daughter Lara creeps out in the elevator in episode 2.
>>290755406>someoneSure.
>>290755467*Very top left, sorry.
>>290755443Thai Yuri Fanpage.
This is the best episode since episode 3
>>290755267>I think I love her>Oh no I think I love her
>>290755467No they are above Mari and Lara. You can see the mom's cap and on the shoulder ponytail and the kid is holding a mermaid princess balloon.
>>290755386Probably wouldn't phase her that much
>>290755455>>290755384>>290755507Seriously. What the fuck is wrong with this retard? He's been seething over flips for over a week now.Also he's being a smartass racist with that name field
>>290755504>Thai Yuri Fanpage.Link? I don't know this shit
Mari loves her fish.
>>290755383Also the two spiky hired boys and the short haired one next to headband boy are most likely members of Mari's boxing club, but I don't care enough about them to match their faces.
So This is Last Time that Lara and Luca have interaction?
I wonder how many men had sex with Lara's sister.
>>290755406post print
>>290755386What’s with the frogs?
>>290755664Something something the mermaids' light creates life.
>>290753251Can hetcucks leave now so we can have good threads? Nobody wants them here.
>>290755626Nah he'll be seeing her more often when he hooks up with Mari's brother
So is next episode going to be a 2 for 1 with Mari getting Grace's backstory which probably intersects with their mom and how she died? Intercut with Lara learning the same things from her dad?
>>290755690Yeah, but it could have been something "prettier", fish, butterflies, birds.
>>290753803but the girl that barely spoke two words for all the episodes off course
>>290754650Kota is so cool
>>290755596>on jp twitter women literally LOVE grace>they make their own Grace plushieI don't understand.
>>290755699Give it time, they're slowly coping over their loss
>>290755734Life, like love, is ugly.
>>290755734It's probably just water creatures since it's the mermaid's power, also Luca likes beautiful things so witnessing an "ugly" one better justifies him hesitating in his search for Lara.
>>290753748Reminds me the old synopsis said "Mari is the witch descendant" or did I misrember?
>>290755589>And then, when the thread asking him for proof, he vanished
>>290755769Mysterious sexy hags are irresistible to lesbos
>>290755732>rowan was wrong>lisa was wrong>grace was rightNext episode is going to be so satisfying.
>>290753251Lara's real prince right here.
>>290755769Why yes, Grace is a fascinating character.
>>290755769This has been your only example for weeks now. But at any rate, of course women would relate to the evil manipulative witch the most.
>>290755734You'd be surprised how "ugly" all those things can getbutterflies are known to literally drink piss if they're allowed to
>>290755831Anon will surely deliver...
>>290755267Notice Mari is the only one who can make Lara go all starry-eyed.
>eng subs are wrong againDamn, she is actually is saying just about Lara here, she says “I wish you’d keep annoying me forever." in pic related, it's basically a confession. Mega gay wtf
The Yuri is doomed isn't it.
>>290755920You're right. Gon-chan has never been trouble for her so it wouldn't make sense to include her in that speech anyway.
>>290755920English subfags are hetfags. I have been noticing these little changes for a while now.But no matter, true love will win in the end aka the yuri gods.
>>290755626They will minimum have a double apology where Lara is sorry for trying to rush things and Luca being sorry for not understanding her situation.
Was Mari always such a charismatic smooth talker? Why aren't girls throwing themselves at her?
>>290756057Maybe they are but she was too focused on boxing to notice.
>>290755967Am I hearing a "あんたら" or is it just me being shit at recognizing words through sobs?
King Rowan thank you for your service to the yuri cause for allowing Lara to finally realize her feelings.
>>290756119There are still hetfags coping even now after this if you can believe it
>>290756173Funny thing is I can believe it. Watching the het fans of this show coping after every new episode has been such a joy to watch. No matter I will still eat my yuri meal. Just a little bit of Schadenfreude I guess since there are so many other het shows that could watch and yet they come here and try to shit up other people's fun.
Total yuri victory. AOTY
>>290756057There should've scenes of girls getting their panties wet over Mari. Missed opportunity.
Ganbare Lara-Chan!
SUPER FRIENDSHIP ENDING SCENE JUST LEAKED
>>290756264They sure look like good friends here
>>290756092Your ears are correct. Other anon is wrong and subs are right.
>>290755967Anon, literally last episode she said Grace kept nitpicking about her fish tank. In the first episode she tried to order cake on Mari's money. She's foul-mouthed and annoying but she still loves her.
>>290756119I was nodding along all throughout his speech because he spelled out what everyone who isn't retarded or a shitposter had already figured out about Lara turning away from acknowledging her love for Mari.
>>290756215Many yurifags were triggered by the interviews yesterday. The show still isn't over. And the staff is very fond of a friendship ending
>>290756264>mari toppingExquisite.
>>290753808>"LALAH!"
Yup this is easy 10/10. AOTY so far and it's not even close.
>>290756307>In the first episode she tried to order cake on Mari's money.That will never happen again because Hal is also dead now... Mari lost everyone who used to liven her room up.
>>290756313He knows his daughter, and knows she's too autistic to figure it out on her own.
>>290753808Lala is beyond the time...
>>290755386Mari adopted a fish that could talk as a child, punched the shit out of Lara as a mermaid when she came flying towards her and then saw Grace's monster form and didn't give a shit. She can take it
>>290756307>>290756355Second episode, sorry. Is Hal really dead or just inactive.
>>290754097Shin Godzilla like shit.
>>290756372>lara you have to bang mari, its for the sake of our family!
>>290756333>>290756389Gon-chan is a fish who could've been a mother to Mari.
>>290756333That Lalah finally found her prince, even if it took her decades in real time
So...let me guess, Yuri won and the shitposter that was posting le ebin seiyu article dissapeared?
Sayonara Lara is a modern classic. /a/ will still talk about this anime in 20 years
>>290756057
>>290756400Japanese Chirstian girls are built different aren't they?
>>290756173The shitposter will never admit he lost. He still copes about G-witch to this day.
>>290756427Hey yurifag. I didn't hear no bell
>>290756355Not once in this episode was Mari's room depicted as having any kind of the brightness it used to have. Just dark, empty and depressing.
>>290756442Japanese Christians are tough. They dealt with centuries of persecution
>>290756427The retard thought the seiyuus were telling the ending would "leave to interpretation" lmao
>>290756477The were only persecuted when they started trying rebellions.
>>290756424Why is every other UC ship just paedo or gay shit?
>original>does not shit the bed until finaleThis is so rare.
>>290756092It's ら迷惑なあんたらにずっといて欲しかってんShe's talking about both Lara and Gon-chan.
>>290756438Don't jinx it
>>290756492To be fair, the main writer is a huge Luca/Lara shipper. She's always trying to push Luca. Episode 3 was written by a man
>>290756477They're protestants, not catholics. They converted after Meiji when Christianity was legal
>>290756441This is what goes on in Mari's head, what she would say to describe is maybe a few short senteces
>Syrenchads we are going to keep winning.
>>290756536You talk too soon. The director said true love doesn't need to be romantic
>>290756555She's prefers het romance, yeah, but she also likes Lara x mari.
fuck mari
>>290756614Lara, calm down
I guess Rowan is being set up to be saved by Mari unlocking Lara's true love and surviving. He's going to hate it.
>>290756566Holy fuck S2 would be amazing.
The shitposter continuing to ignore the show and point at "b-but the xitter tweets" reminds me of how yurifags used to grasp at straws in interviews and writer comments in the old days. How the turns have tabled...
>>290756313Jesus it is so blatant
>>290756606Maybe she likes them as friends. That's very shoujo, see pic related and Nana
>>290756576>The director said (headcanon)>It's clearly romantic ??? He never said that
>>290756626They are going to kiss and fish sword will change. But show won't end with 100% obvious yuri marriage so shitposter will keep shitposting.
>>290756631I'm not too optimistic considering Watanare was a megahit under yuri standards but still didn't get a S2 but if somebody deserve to break the yuri curse, it's Watatabe
>>290756346Gon chan why you go around kidnapping ma girl Mari
>>290756644Yuri started winning in 2011 and since then every year it just wins harder.
>>290756670Unless sequel was already planned before S1 even aired it always takes years for S2. Look how giga hits like Bocchi or Lycoris still don't have S2.
>>290756442That ring flying between them
Friendly reminder that there will be no kiss, no confession, and Lara is still Luca's girlfriend.
>>290756670Inb4 someone compares it to Demon Slayer on Google Trends.
>>290756707Is this your last cope?
>>290756685As far as we know, the staff originally wanted to pander to incels only because they're infamous for making pilgrimages to anime settings hence inflating the tourism but unexpectedely got many female fans and they're rooting for Luca and seething at the latest episode
>>290756685Japan was doing gay romance stories decades before Hollywood started doing it.
>>290753251>At least I can count of Lisa to keep the royal bloodline pure>Hello Stepfather :D
>>290756685It makes sense. The original story had blatant gay subtext based on the author's personal life.
>>290756424This Is good
>>290756726True but it was either gay romance novels aimed to samurais or class S novels that ended with the girls marrying men
>>290756685Andersen was pretty "westslop-coded" himself, whatever that means.
>>290756707Luca is just Lara's beard and soon he won't be even that.
Their kiss will be super ambiguous so that hetfags can rest easy.
>Homura comes back for Madoka the same time Mari is going win over Lara This means something greater, I know it
>>290756719He's right at the first two. I find it very farfetched that Luca end with Lara at this point
Reminder that Luca means Light. It was over for yurifags before it even began
>>290756746>the saliva trail is just because they're underwater!
>>290756707Luca is already taken by Mari's bleached brother though
>>290756746It's been done
>>290756741Anon, 80s and 90s already had super obvious gay ships.
>>290756729Cute Kota
>>290756743He wasn't even that good of a beard, too much of a twink.
>>290756757Urobutcher already said Homura isn't a lesbian. I trust more on the creator of the franchise than some random anon
>>290756729He has three other daughters anyway.
>>290756757Imagine if she actually fights the fish girlboy in the finale.
>>290756783Yeah, most people who saw him, Lara and Mari together probably assumed he was their gay friend.
>>290756759I find it kinda far-fetched as well, but there will not be a scene where Lara tells him that they're no longer together. Since everyone is superfriends, we will never get any. So yes, Lara is still technically Luca's girlfriend even though they're not together.
>inb4 Lara is in love with Mari but Mari just sees her as a sister >inb4 the fish dagger with end up devouring Mari whole as a final act of revenge for all the heartbreak
>>290756797He literally never said that. Also Madoka aired 15 years ago. They had to be more ambiguous back then. Today like 3/4 of the greatest hits are yuri.
>>290756775Sailor Moon is such an outlier, even Usagi is canonically bisexual
>>290756685Because, its simply better.
>>290754097man that was some Annihilation shit. good shit right there.
>>290756814Yeah, that might happen. Yurifags will still take it as a victory though.
>>290756838Don't forget lesbians end up adopting a daughter and raising her with another lesbian.
>superfriendsbut what about superENEMIES?
>>290756859They can, but there will always be a doubt lingering in the back of their heads somewhere. I am just here to reinforce that doubt.
>>290753822She's not really dead... r-right?
>>290756814Luca isnt her true love lmao. What do you think Luca will do? Accept that his girlfriend is fucking Mari on the side?
>>290756871Go watch Coyote vs Acme.
>>290753957Luca is such a buster.
>>290756817Lara will pierce Mari with her massive erect fish and there will be a scene like Luluco's romantic awakening
>>290756838CCS also had lesbians. Gundam had faggots. DBZ had faggots. Almost every big harem series had a side lesbian. Japan pioneered this.
>>290756891NTA but the main writer said Luca still could be Lara's true love
Threadly reminder!
>>290756916CCS has fags. Clamp find lesbians disgusting and only allowed Tomoyo to live because she knows her place and will marry a man.About faggotry in general, Japan believe it's a youthful phase so it's OK for teens to experiment because they're going to marry the opposite gender eventually. That's been a thing since the Heian period
>>290753251Just finished watching the episode. With isn't dead is she? Rowan is the real bad guy i thinkAnd Lara loves Mari? As a friend or more?? More than anyone else i thinkLooking forward to next 2 episodes
>>290756891Both of them are her true love.Bestfriend as the true love = MariBoyfriend/Husband as the true love = Luca
>>290756941>And Lara loves Mari? As a friend or more?? More than anyone else i thinkAs grandma says, true love doesn't need to be romantic
>>290756917The irony of this when this>>290756934 exists
>>290756891They'd make a cute throuple
>>290756954>>290756934
>>290755904She died like the jobber she is.
>>290756974I wonder how the female audience aka Lucafags would take it? They believe lesbianism is just a phase so probably they'd be OK with Lara and Mari being superfriends as long as she dates Luca
>>290756934Not yet...
>>290753803
Dagger in the sky has come to kill Mari. Lara wants to prevent that by forceful separation from Mario. Now Mari got kidnapped by witch-samaWhat are your predictions for the next episodes?
>>290756940>Japan believe it's a youthful phase so it's OK for teens to experimentTrue 20 years ago, not true today. You would know if you watched JP streamers. Almost every female streamer is a massive yurifag.
>>290756536The fact that the whole series has been high quality production-wise up until now is a fucking miracle
>>290756441She's is crazy in love.
>>290753803Goddammit If this isnt a yuri ending this will officially be the biggest yuri bait of the decade
>>290753841>He cant speak japaneseHe says love, nigger.
So both of Otsu's children will turn out to be gay? What went wrong?
>>290757048They're pandering to the male audience. There's nothing a male otaku like more than his waifu having his same tastes.
>>290757078They were raised in the western way.
What's with the current drama? What Rowan's plan is supposed to be? Why was Lara trying to escape?
>>290757078Dead parent during pivotal development years.
>>290756666>fish sword will changeInto a big heart or a gigantic strap-on
This is just yuribait like Kaguya lol
>>290757115>Why was Lara trying to escape?>You have to kill your love to save your family LaraThat would make most people upset I imagine.
>>290757085I guess the explosion of lesbian brothels in japan is also pandering to male audience.
>>290756707I'll save this for the future.
>>290756119
>>290757188Holy shit, she's looking at Mari's grandma!
>>290757043My prediction is that when the dagger appears to launch the attack on Mari ro kill her, Mari will either confess her love for Lara or kiss her, dagger turns to the light it originally was, merfolk saved, laramari endgame. The end.
The ending will go full Eureka Seven, Mari will confess to Lala, then the dagger will transform into a big ass laser that's going to draw a heart on the moon
>>290753251>reee legs reeFuck you bitch your daughter got the legs to try to fix the mistake your youngest one did
The evil fish will have its head bitten off.
>>290757148Aquatope is still the best comparison with all the aquarium and oceanic theming, tomboy gremlin with a mission X princess who is trying to find herself, and fake out male love interest
>>290757157But why does she need to kill her didn't he say he just needed to feel true love instead of uncertainty?
>>290757243We're gonna need a bigger fish.
>>290757258Watch the show >>290754650
>>290756685>not understanding nips are basically already the jews of asia
>>290757258The fish dagger is supposed to eat her true love's soul because it was formed when she was betrayed by the prince. Only after that happens will it be purified, or at least that's what Rowan believes. Lara and Mari will probably manage to avoid that.
We Evangelion now
>>290757306That's the Chinese.
>>290756685yurikino > hetslopsimple as
>>290756940>Japan believeSource?
Lara may be the mermaid by Mari is the true siren
>>290756119now this is peak cinema
Mari is so cool and cute
>>290757188Koide himself did this episode so it's no wonder the directing is pure kino.
THEY'RE TURNING THE FROGS GAY
>>290757367Lara, her wife, and her gay friend
I need the full OST for this
Lara will become human permanently and will never be able to go back to her kingdom
>>290756707>Friendly reminder that there will be no kiss, no confession, and Lara is still Luca's girlfriend.Their Last conversation getting interrupted by Giant Dagger Fish.So It's would be awkward if no scene between them again because Mari is Lara True Love
>>290756670>>290756631Watatabe S2 would be brilliant. The first half of the manga is good, but it's really just set up in preparation for the second half. S2 gets to be just non-stop major episodes and character/plot developments
Tiny tomboy
>>290753251Mari getting yoinked made me laugh so hard, what a goofy scene.
>>290756934>His light was just too small...
>>290756940>>290757048>>290757085>implying anons don't all want to see girls kiss
>director and VAs already all but confirmed a super friendship ending>yurinegroids still eating the bait
>doomposting all week>the episode is greatThis has happened several times already. Can we not do it for the rest of the show's run?
Japanese audience is starting to see the laramari agenda
>>290757441Makes more sense than Mari becoming a mermaid because she's still got her own ambition in human society.Wouldn't be surprised by a "Lara's completed light allows mermaids to transform whenever they want" ending either though.
>>290757517We need the bait fish as the Lara Fish of Doom
I didn't pay much attention at first but Grace's mansion seems very interesting. Between all these artifacts from the human world she also had that old wheelchair around, hopefully we get to know what was her deal
>>290757521They're still at it right now despite the episode eviscerating them.
>>290757459Mari is true love platonically. Message is that friendship >>>> romantic love
>>290757491It was a big success no reason not to give it S2.
>>290757521I kneel. I was completely hopeless yesterday because of that script writers comments on luca x lara. Just let them cook and see what happens. For now I keep my fingers crossed
>>290757517Are you going to be crying about this show for years like with G-witch?
>>290757549The real question who built it?
Mari and boxer senpai makes a better pair desu
>>290757533Lara needs legs, she's still got a job and they're waiting for her. Besides, she promised Mari to bake her a cake.
mari bottom confirmed
>>290757605>I was completely hopeless yesterday because of that script writers comments on luca x lara.Same, now I'm full yuri support again
>>290756438We'll be lucky to have /a/ in 5
>>290756264Neat.
>>290753976That's really impressive, thanks. Also Luca/Yoshiya endgame confirmed.
>Surprise motherfucker
i got hetbaited so i can disregard this anime now right?
>>290753976Where's the original image for this?
>>290757530Dang, really? But it came out of nowhere. I couldn't fathom ever thinking Mari would be Lara's true love until they asspulled it in this episode.
>Lara doomed your race with her degenerate footfetish>Lisa is fucking her pet fishBeing a merman is suffering.
I believe
How many hours have passed since the episode aired? Why there's still no lewd illustrations of Mari and the eel?
>>290757730Funniest scene
>>290757771Holy smokes Mari looks hot in those pants
>>290755769Women love evil princesses, I don't think you understand that all of the villainess shows are made for them
>>290757774This show is not popular in Japan, anon
>>290757769Considering we haven't seen mermaids outside their clan...I think finding random fish and other sea creatures to marry might be standard. Lara was originally told to just go out there and find a partner, but like, what are her options?
>>290757801This is still her best outfit.
>>290757846I do like that outfit too, or when Mari and her opponent were bouncing in their uniforms
Grace ate too much cake, that's why she died
Any spoilers for the last episode?
>>290757549Why was Lisa making Lara sit in the middle of the room?
>>290757774The eel isn't her true love
>>290757921It's 20 minutes of Lara and Mari having sex with Lara's light getting brighter and brighter until you can't see anything.
>>290757758
>>290757832Lisa did say past mermaids got light through loving the whole ocean, so basically it doesn't seem like mermaids have a concept of romance at all except Lara and Grace.
>I just wanted the last slice of cake... ACK
>>290757967They were waiting until Rowan waked up fully
>>290757998I appreciate it anonLara looks so adorable
>>290757832
What would you do if your daughter Mari told you Lara is a siren and Gon-chan is her aunt?
>>290758061>"...can I see her tail?"
>>290758061Ask my home insurance company if they cover creatures of the sea breaking my windows
>>290758061>Enough schizo ramblings, tell me if you're smashing clams already.
>>290753591Yoshiya is so lucky...
>>290758103Important questions here.
>>290758104Not the first time Ayumu has voiced a crossdresser
>>290758104Luca should have been a girl.
>>290758094
Heterosexual explanation?
>>290757832When your mother begged you to find a girlfriend she wasn't suggesting you shag the dog.
>>290758182Love that transcends the human definition of romance
I still think this chick is the source of the light
Now imagine what that fish dagger will do to Mari if Mari doesn't love Lara back
>>290758182So Lara knew Mari was her true love all along? She was just too afraid to accept it? The prince stuff was all baloney?
>>290757816It's been doing decently well from what I've seen
>>290758132I don't think it's even the 5th time Murase Ayumu has voiced a crossdresser
Yaoi won
>>290758182The only reason I don't accept a platonic explanation for this is because Rowan also says that Lara kept avoiding the truth right in front of her eyes which is that Mari is her true love. Why would she even try to avoid it?
>>290758291>"B-but we're both girls, Lara">Shiga razed to the ground
>>290758291>what would happenAnd to really rub salt on the wound, the dagger would do it twice.>>290758325I honestly love his role as Iruma, without a doubt, Crimson wasn't bad either but the anime was mediocre at best
>>290758355If Leo is a boy then maybe Luca is a girl.
>>290758293She only realized it this episode but she now knows she needs to pierce her heart
>>290758061What a roundabout way to come out.
>>290758408Then that would make the first time Murase voices a girl despite voicing like a dozen traps
>>290758471>lara: i need to pierce you, mari, if you know what i mean
>>290753251what does he think of his daughter fucking an anglerfish
>>290758355>Raised Christian>Ended up gayWhat is the implication here?
>>290758521That this sort of thing always seems to happen
>>290754421>>Grace is still somehow aliveShe's dead, Jim.
>>290758521They allow yuri, yuri is fine to them.
>>290757521how would lara react to seeing mari this emotional
Next week is gonna be fun with all of the leaks.
>>290758408They're both boys that look like girls. Leo's just the one who's embraced it.
>>290758521Foreign ideas are turning the nips gay.
The christian hints in this remind me a lot of The Colors Within from a few years ago, obviously because of the art and color palette in this show toohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-vMM6YblOI
>>290758497He definitely hates that the angle fish has legs.
>>290758567Rape
>>290758521Humans are naturally drawn to that which is forbidden
>>290758061Friendly reminder that Mari's been telling them that her fish can talk likely since she was a kid. The fact that the first time she did so Grace likely promptly pulled a Michigan J. Frog notwithstanding.
>>290758061Assume she got CTE from boxing.
>>290758592They were a bunch of literal pederasts centuries before foreign ideas touched their shores
>>290758355I originally was shipping Yoshiya with Himeka, but I guess this is fine, too.
So Luca still doesn't know about Lara situation (find tru love) at all?
>>290758790I feel bad for Mr Otsu, his bloodline is over...
Fuck so I won't even be able to read the threads for the next 2 weeks?
>>290757339are lake monitoring stations really this cool?
>>290758355Prince and the delinquent is a great pairingIt's kind of a shame he didn't get involved earlier because the searching for Lara montage could have included more male bonding
>>290758856Why, what happened?
Wow, Japan is just like us
There is such a huge disconnect between what the interviews say and what is happening in the episodes.
>>290758888>I already know you prefer replies to animethat's a great line
>>290758874Early screening of eps 11 and 12 next week in Japan
>>290758905Did the staff take tips from Kaguya?
Lara was right after all. Love doesn't need time to shape.
>>290758905>"I don't really know how to classify their relationship." = "They're fucking in the end, but that's a spoiler, so I don't think I should say that yet."
>>290758905That's true of everything ever. It's why I stopped caring about interviews outside of postmortems, and that's mostly because those tend to get into things that didn't happen and why.It also means you get to let the art speak for itself, which also means you never end up with one of those situations where a creator turns out to be a weirdo because you don't even remember their names.
>>290758940Fuck.
>>290758888He just like me fr fr
Massquoting /a/ posts on /tv/ is a totally normal thing to do and everyone in the world does it.

>>290758940Then I'm leaving these threads. I don't want spoilers.
>>290758952She fell for Mari in a matter of days
>>290759073Alright, you're just writing like shit on purpose now.
>>290755920Someone tell Crunchyroll they actually changed the end of the episode 3 lines because of this
It has always been obvious that Mari is endgame

>>290759111Lara reacts to the word suki. She wants to be told that she is loved. That is Mari's job

>>290759340Trans women aren't women
>>290759238Ambiguous yuri ending is the most likely route. It is what will keep the majority of people still talking about it in years to come.
>>290759358He never said that, he is trolling
Super best friends who occasionally slam clams.
>Mari at the end of the episode.
New cope meta is to complain that Mari and Lara’s relationship wasn’t built up properly. Where was all of my slice of life! Why do they even like each other! Writers are hacks!
>>290759328>Behead ESLsBut then only yurifags would be left.
So did the yurisisters win?
>>290759106No. Because that person is wrong.
>>290756917>NTA but the main writer said Luca still could be Lara's true loveYeah but that if Lara didn't have time limit.
Grace next episode.
>>290759459>complain that Mari and Lara’s relationship wasn’t built up properlyI do this and I'm a yurifag
>>290759599yes and the yaoibrothers too
>>290759669unfortunately you can really feel the limitations of the 12 episode curse on this show, though I do think they’re doing a terrific job with it and LaraMari is still very believable
Mari's big light piercing Lara's darkness
>>290759707The veranda conversations did a lot in this regard. There's a sense that they've settled into this routine where they talk there every night before bed.
>>290754421>Lara, Gon-chan told me everything, you need to french the one you love RIGHT NOW>But what if they reject me? >Don't worry about that, I'll support you all the way
>>290759565>But then only yurifags would be left.Based?
>>290759449hehalso <3 kohina
>>290759797Extremely based.
>>290759785yup and a strong sense of chemistry through their bond as well. You can really feel how it’s changed since they meet in episodes 2/3 all the way up to episode 8.
>>290759267Alright, here you go
did this end up being yuri or did it get rugpulled
>>290759164>>>/tv/223031140
Great episode. No idea if they'll go yuri or power of friendship but I think I'll be satisfied either way, assuming 2 more episodes is enough
>>290757070Learn to take a joke, autist
>>290759654>turns out she was protecting everybody with her magic and now that shes gone they have less time
>>290760024I did like the episode but I wanted some more revelations.Regardless I think I can say without a doubt that this is my AOTY and there were a fuckton of contendersThis is also going to be one of the anime that I will try to safeguard as well with multiple copies
>>290756666>The fish changing mid fall as it's about to kill mari
>>290759984Are hetfags alright?
God hates Lara
>>290756333https://youtu.be/9JUddIyrCUY>Mami Tomoe tiro finale'd>there was nothing insideChimata Tenkyuu lives!
>>290760265That's why he sent her Mari to make her better
>>290760120I'm satisfied with the light/giant fish dagger being explained for now. I'm not going to call this AOTY yet but I won't be surprised if that ends up being the case (assuming Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider is considered a 2025 anime)
>>290759984Why are yurifags like this?
>>290760024I don't care if they go full-blown face-sucking yuri (very doubtful) or just hug and hold hands yuri (way more plausible), but the important part is that it has to be a yuri story of Mari and Lara, ultimately. The two of them have more chemistry than any romantic pairing I've seen in a very long time. Luca, despite being "the prince", barely elevated himself above the rest of the town when it comes to interacting with Lara. He simply does not have the kind of energy that's required to truly save her. Meanwhile, Lara's relationship with Mari is electric. She managed to melt every wall Mari had, and Mari, in turn, taught her more about humanity than anyone else. Luca and the rest are free to show up at the end, but Mari is the mandatory centerpiece.
>>290758905>There is such a huge disconnect between what the interviews say and what is happening in the episodes.You should never pay attention to interviews that take place while an anime is still ongoing. The staff can't spoil the plot, so they come up with non-committal and vague answers that can be interpreted in many ways.The post-finale interviews are where you get the staff's real thoughts and answers.
Gentlemen. I require your fluffiest Laras.
>>290756783A beard needs to be able to grow hair. I think he'd find that challenging.
>>290760435>The post-finale interviews are where you get the staff's real thoughts and answers.And you shouldn't pay attention to those either.
>>290760303My rules for determining AOTY are simple>must have aired that year>is not a continuing season>>290760440Take it
>>290760440The beginning of the window's suffering.
>>290760440
Lara is adorable I wont lieI'd gladly buy a figure of her
damn this episode was good
>>290760303>I'm not going to call this AOTY yet but I won't be surprised if that ends up being the caseI'm torn between this and Jaadugar. I almost wrote this show off but episode 1 was such a well done pilot that I stuck around. This show's animation is gorgeous
>>290760440Neet Lara was the time she was fluffiest and fattest
>>290760440Sorry, the fluffiest Laras I have are too lewd for a thread like this
Lara's red pubes
>>290757138Be honest, you would have fallen for Kaguya too in her place.
>>290760440Hair down Lara is the way
women cannot functionally have sex with one another
>>290760666Mermaid magic dick growth its that shrimple
>>290760602It was for sure, but I sill have some unanswered questions>was the fish the soul of Lara's mom>why was grace going after Lara's dad>why was Mari kidnapped>is Lisa justified>>290760617Jaadugar is fantastic but I think Lara holds out better for the style of animation (the cel style) that is pretty much a lost art and that it is not dependent on an ongoing manga>>290760666They can functionally have raw sex with me, Satan
Ok but who's saying goodbye to Lara?
>>290760689Not with that attitude.
>>290760718Luca before she walks down the aisle to marry Mari
>>290760440You wanted fluffy?
>>290760698The next episode is probably going to have a final message from Grace to Mari. They said that Mari is like the main character in the last 2 episodes so I expect something similar to CPK with Mari as Iroha that can't accept Lara's self-sacrifical ending.
>>290760666Straight women orgasm the least out of all gender and orientation combinations

October 4th isn't a full moon day.
>>290755514*Episode 5Wagie kino was great
This made me smile because Oct 1st is not only the day 4chan started, but also because it's the day EPCOT openedOct 1st, 1982
>>290760917Episode 5 is my favorite, so far it is the most sliced-of-life episode.
>>290753591Yoshida is finally having some relevancy, huh?
>>290760917>>290760968Episode 6 was my favorite but 5 was good too
>>290760917All the episodes are good but so far 9 and 10 have really upped the bar.
Lily status?
>>290760917If Mari was more involved then I would've liked that episode better but it was just a nothing filler episode.This is currently the best episode by a mile.
So the original Prince is considered true love since it’s what triggered the fish dagger in the first place, then why is Lara so autistic about not knowing what true love is? She already experienced it before and just needs to find the same feelings as back then.
>>290761817why are you pretending to be retarded?
>>290760659If I was Mari I could spend hours playing with Lara's hair desu
I'm still holding out hope that Mari beats the absolute shit out of some fish
Many people (including yurifags) don't realize that GL (and BL, for that matter) really doesn't have to be erotic. The important part is the pure, almost cosmic connection between the girls. It represents the kind of purity that cannot exist in romantic love between a man and a woman, which will be seen as carnal. Yuri's main feature is the two young girls discovering each other and themselves through their feelings, forging a bond that is stronger and more chaste than any friendship or romance. You can leave depicting eroticism to the fans; it's not necessary.
Luca still end game bro.
Carry scene next episode?
I think they deserve a happy ending
>>290761955Why are you and so many other people so insistent that it not be romantic? Why is it being romantic a problem? Especially when literally every indication up to this point is that what the "true love" is that fixes the problem is romantic? I don't think Lisa is correct that Lara's mom produced light due to some nebulous "I love the sea" type love.
>>290761990I think Kota should get a punch in the face
>>290761955No it isn't, you just fundamentally don't understand eroticisms since commercial porn has blinded you to the spirit of eros
>>290761025His name is Yoshiya. People need to learn his name.
>>290762013Hope Mari throws the punch. How dare he/she/they move to attack her

>>290762032Mari needs googly eyes too.
>>290761955Lovely bait.
Full blown sexual chemistry between Lara and Mari next episode
>>290761955>purity that cannot exist in romantic love between a man and a woman, which will be seen as carnal.Jesus Christ, I don't know where to start.

>>290761955Nah bruh it’s necessary girls deserve to get hot and heavy with each other if they want to
>>290762123Eh, I can't get it to really work. I don't think it looks good, regardless of orientation.
>>290756330that is too predictable lara topping would be better
>>290762295Lara submissive topMari dominant bottom
So Luca will come to island alone?
>>290762394His boyfriend is bringing him.
It's pretty obvious how the show will end here. The dagger will become light again once Lara confesses to Mari and Mari accepts her feelings. But the light doesn't help the humanized mermaids and they foam up.
>>290762007I don't insist on it not being romantic. I'm pointing out that yuri is, ultimately, about the kind of "Love" that exists beyond the boundaries of common understanding, and thus could be expressed in all kinds of ways (especially self-sacrifice; boy was there a lot of self-sacrifice in yuri historically). Of course it can be intensely erotic, like in Watanare. But in Lara's case, it's clearly going for something more subtle.>>290762024Japan historically had a different understanding of love compared to the West. The Western idea of love (ren'ai) only came to Japan during the Meiji period, and took some time to be fully established. Before that, Japanese writers separated love into all kinds of different concepts that don't necessarily overlap with similar Western words (for example, "koi" was used to describe longing for the absent, something like nostalgia, while "ai" was used as deep, slavish craving for something), and even after Westernization, these centuries of culture didn't go anywhere. In the Class S literature of the early 20th century, the stuff yuri mostly traces its roots to (google it), we see heavy blurring of lines between lovers and friends. I would describe it more like "intense female intimacy", with cute nicknames, passionate letters, declarations of complete devotion, but no open erotic love. This kind of complexity is something GL enthusiasts in Japan are actually pretty proud of, that's why they don't want it to be seen as just "lesbian romance", which is a separate category.
>>290761955Fuck off class s bullshit
>>290762513>it can be intensely erotic, like in WatanareLol.
>>290762513People do not make these kinds of write ups for straight relationships. It is purely a phenomenon to explain away or discredit yuri (maybe yaoi too, but yuri is more common on /a/ from what I see). It's for some reason treated differently and needs to have all kinds of special qualifiers instead of just being straightforward, romantic love. Please kill yourself.
>Yeah that weird fish thing is my wife
>>290760666And yet they have better sex with each other than with men.
I'm so glad this shit is over in 6 days.
>>290762582That's what it is in Watanare. Mai is a slave to her passion, so much so that she comes dangerously close to raping Renako multiple times, and hurts her in the process. It's pure eroticism, and there's a lot of yuri like that. But that's definitely not what the connection between Lara and Mari is like.>>290762594Straight relationships are simple. There's always a certain power dynamic between a man and a woman that's written in our biology, and could hardly be argued against. Those who argue against it never arrive at a satisfying conclusion. But making both sides female changes everything, so of course it's more complex, and there's more to say about it.
>>290761937Hair down Lala is a universe miracle.
Do you think Mari's grandma will approve this relationship
>>290762751Then you can select a new show to whine about next season because you're a tourist who only shitposts without actually liking anime
>>290762802She's probably been waiting for them to confess to each other already.
>>290762802What, you think she's mermaid-phobic?
>>290762802Depends if she cares about the bloodline.
>>290762925Don't worry, she still has Yoshiy-
>>290762960Yoshiya WILL impregnate that boy
