Episode 11 pv out in 4 hrs
Luca will impregnate both Lara and Mari
True love will win
>>290787271The battle of our age
>>290787271If they give us a yuri kiss this will be bigger than Evangelion 4.0 when Mari won the Shinji bowl
>>290787415Women (Lara/Luca) vs incels and trannies (Lara/Mari)
>>290787415Basedo
>>290787415Mari heems
is this yuri
>>290787308Threesome end is objectively the best outcome desu
How many episodes in total? 12?
God i love it whenever Lara is being out of shape and pathetic
>>290787466Her name is Lara actually
>>290787466According to the cast and staff, no. Just friendship
>>290787565>Just friendshipwith benefits*
Cute monogamous couple
>I shall proceed to pleasure myself with this fish
>>290787565with benefits
>>290787525And then she tries to protect Mari anyway. Very cute.
>>290787271Grace is so hot. Hope they don't actually make the whole episode a flashback though.
>>290788127I want a scene like this again but in reverse.
>>290788161The first 11 mins is going to be a flashback.
I can fix her
Since Lara x Mari seems to be actually happening and Leo's gender thing was not adressed, I'm fully convinced that the issue with their relationship is going to be just the mermaid x human part and not that they are both girls. That also makes me believe again that this Himeka moment wasn't a "are you two actually fiends yet?" question, but a "are you two really JUST friends?" one. I bet there will be a scene near the end where Lara and Mari who are together meet Himeka and she says "when we first met, I actually thought you two might have been already dating."
>>290788356Forgot my pic.
>>290787415I bet Yoshiya can sing actually.
>>290788161Same.
>>290787271>"It was a medicine that felt as though it was life itself">"Like a star of life was contained within">"We spent our days pursuing a light invisible to us">"What is the true nature of this light?">"Where did this light came from?">"I want to know the essence of life that shines with light"Really makes you think what even is the true nature of the light and the potion. The fact that even though the light's power is about granting life yet the potion's effect somehow turns merfolk (and even fishes) into humans is strange. Perhaps Lara's power will save the merfolk not by reviving their kingdom but by transforming them all into humans
ENDING SCENE JUST LEAKED
>>290788644This happens soon after this scene
Pretending to like Yaoi just to own le chuds is kinda cringe ngl
It’s based actually
im confusedwill yuri win or is it all bait?
>>290788820yuri already won
Is Mari gonna punch something for the final few epiodes or what?
>>290788820Watch the episode >>290787384
>>290788851Only if she manifests her gloves out of thin air.
>>290788836>>290788874but it's not clear if it's going to be romantic or not, smells like a super friendship cope right now.The only indicator we had that it could be romantic was the attempts with Luca and mari silently seething about it... I'm not sure I wanna invest my bags into a real yuri ending, I'm gonna keep holding on them
>>290788899>but it's not clear if it's going to be romanticIt's romantic dingus, it's a combination of all types of loves in one relationship that both have.
How long has Mari had Gon-chan?
>>290788914we dont know yet. I hope it is but I've been baited enough times to realize that the author could be a coward hack and make it generic platonic love
>>2907889436 years
>>290788896She's doesn't need no stinkin gloves
>>290788943Since her mom died
Posting AI slop on /a/ should result in an instant ban...
Don't tell me this is going the incest route
>>290788797I would have slow reflexes too if I saw that
>>290789055Please tell me this is going the incest route
>>290788161Still hoping for Grace coming back as a fish
So judging by what Lara's father said in espisode 10, that Lara's mom was killed by a human, I can assume that Grace's lover killed her, right?
>>290789142Well Mari did say she wanted Lara and Gon-chan back.
>>290789163(Likely for trying to impede)
>>290788766ngl, mari's brother and Luca have more chemistry than him with lara in 3 eps
>>290789187the problem is they're both bottoms. meanwhile mari's brother is a chad
What did she mean by this? (new interview dropped just now)
>>290789427It's mean True Love it's not just about Romantic.
>It is mean True Love it is not just about Romantic
>>290789446>not romantic>starts by saying kinds of romantic love as her exempleslol
>>290789427That's the incredibly obvious central theme of the show. I'd like to highlight>or even found by letting gobecause Lara finally abandoning her preconception about her true love having to be the prince is what allows her to realize it's Mari.
I have not watched this show... But I've been checking these threads. I have no clue wether yuri-schizos or the anti-yuri-schizos are right. However, i am highly anticipating the final episode for the inevitable meltdown regardless of which camp are the ones left crying. Good luck anons.
>>290789427Friendship end fags btfo
>>290789504Yurifags post things from the showAnti-yurifags can only post interviews
>>290789542
>>290789555You wouldn't kiss a fish...
>>290789542What are they doing on the bed?
>>290789211But how's it going to work with Mari. Don't be fooled by her tomboy personality. She's a bottom too.
>>290789621Well it was something that kept Grace awake at night.
>>290789555Not the best translation tool but gets the meaning across.
>>290789504The Things There's no Real Answer about "what's true love"Writer and Seiyuu wouldn't say something like this of the show not go this way
Forget the yuri argument. This episode was fucking phenomenal.
>>290789746>>290789723She's a fish and that's gay.
>>290789850I hope the entire studio doesn't go out of business because it's clear they put way more budget into this than it will ever make back
>>290789652Yeah but two bottoms is the default yuri dynamic so it works out.
>>290789937They already have more Shield Hero slop lined up.
>>290789993And endless Cardfight episodes to work on
>>290789850Just to add some red to this, the colors in this scene really popped too.
It's time
Episode 11 PV: https://youtu.be/mPnuec2jUjI
>>290790081>Witch Grace and her older sister, Rigmore, once shared the same dream. However, that dream would eventually lead the mermaid world into darkness. What is the truth behind Rowan's creation of the strict laws, and what wish did Grace entrust to Lara and Mari?
woo
>>290790081Man I don't give a shit about the boomers' love stories
>>290790094Why Lara's mom doesn't look happy?
>>290790107Is actually in love with her sister.
>>290790081>>2907900965 episodes series stretched for 12 episodes
>>290790088Yeah 12 episodes isn't gonna cut it
>>290790107Nevermind, she's happy in the full scene
>>290790081>full flashback episode againI'm afraid the last episode will be rushed af
>>290790088Is Fukami going to voice younger Grace? Is she going to use her Minako voice? Can she still pull it off?
>>290790134Present Mari is there so I assume she will at least reach Lara at the end.
>penultimate episode named after the death flag characterShe's not gonna make it
>>290790094>kissing produces the lightMari is kissing Lara in the final episode lads
>>290790134I don't think the flashback will be even half of the episode. The previews tend to primarily show content from the first five minutes.
>>290790088>Penultimate episode>Grace flashbackYeah Lara is gonna fucking die
>>290790196Mari will save her by kissing
Looks like Rigmore was more interested in the human world than Grace was. And yet...I'm guessing Grace made/acquired the human potion for her sister, but ended up being the only one taking it.
>>290790208>>290790196my prediction/wish: Mari will die, then Lara's light magic will bring her back to life.
>>290787271
>>290790167It couldn’t be more obvious
>>290790268Anon you won’t happen to be polish would you?
>>290790094>another kiss that isn't fully shownthey're putting too much emphasis on this for there to not be a kiss in the final episode
A daring synthesis
>>290790094Will people admit it's yuri if Lara and Mari do this in the final episode
>>290790268Mataba
>>290790238There seems to have been some drama with Rowan that caused the sisters to drift apart.
>>290790167Yeah, it's inevitable.
>>290790288If only
>>290790298I do wonder what a jealous Lara would be like... or if she'd even be jealous instead of just sad or something.
>>290790268Honestly, I enjoy this guy's edits.
"I"
>>290790277>>290790167Yeah, this is giving me a tiny bit of hope...
>>290790088>>290790091Grace is going to fucking die for real, fuck
>>290787271I don't know why you fags think Luca "gave up" looking for Lara. They both sort of gave up looking for her for a week (not really though), the only real difference is Luca wanted to go to the police after they had exhausted all their options, which makes sense because he has a lot less information about Lara's circumstances than Mari does.
Based on the description it sounds like Rowan is an nasty fella who decided to use the power of the light to exterminate humanity after Grace and Rigmor created it for a good purpose
>>290790409And to add to this, there is no real reason Mari needed to hold back any information from him at this point.
>>290790432Probably why the prince hated mermaids desu
>>290790350At the very least we’re getting some sort of parallel to the kiss. The visual is too prominent to not bring it full circle in the final episode
>>290790268
This should have been 13 episodes, how they will warp everything in one episode? lol
>>290790457angy post
>>290790450No, mermaids/sirens were very traditionally known to be monsters.
>>290790081>full HET flashbackuh oh yurixisters...
This is really a ghibli anime
>>290790483There are two episodes, Anon. Watching a 30 second preview is not equivalent to watching an entire episode.
>>290790517At least half of the episode is a flashback anon
>>290790268>>290790457Are this guy's products real or is he just a meme?
>>290790511No matter how many times you post this it will never be true. And I know you're the samefag who was trying to claim is was like Evangelion a month ago
>>290790526What else can you tell us about the episode, Mr. future anon?
>>290790483>how they will warp everything in one episodeAt warp speed, obviously
>>290790537Meds.
>>290790511I don't like when they draw Mari like this. Probably some animator's art style. She looks out of place.
>>290790483Either shitty ending or sequel bait + S2 announcement. If Luna appears in the wheelchair you know it's sequelbait.
>she will die with a smile on her face, probably smiling at Mari;_;
>>290790578>Expecting anything good from a turd anime
>>290790614You don't like Lara?
>>290790081Her eyes are scary but also beautiful
>>290790613Goodbye Grace
>>290790606lol if we got a S2 I would be pleasantly surprised actually
>>290790547>Manhattan Project>first nuke>is just a ritual to kill soulsAre this spiritual nukes with us in this room? Anon
>>290790491Yea but where did that come from? Surely there could’ve been an incident in the distant past that caused humans to think of mermaids as inherently monsters
>>290790626You don't like this guy?
>>290790606>>290790633What S2 would be even about? Mari and Lara romcom story?
>>290790650I don't know who that is but he looks cool.
>>290790657Resurrecting Grace and Lara's mom.
>>290790626>>290790312>>290790305>>290790673Living definition of rent-free, folks
>>290790684I don't understand. What are you talking about?
Flipper over.
>>290790483There is only one thing that needs to be wrapped up. This episode will explain what Grace and the mother's situation was, and Mari is already positioned to, next episode, show up on the island, with Lara now aware of exactly who her true love is and Mari (having seen Grace and her mom's story) knowing what she needs to know. That is "everything". Rowan and the other mermaid family are just background running out of time, Lisa is starting to foam but also seems in 10 to be realizing what is going on with Lara and Mari. Kota is just Lisa's +1. The other humans are all just set dressing.After the Grace/Mom/Rowan stuff is shown, all that remains is for the true love to happen, and whatever choice it might require to be made. Another episode would just be extended epilogue.
>>290790483Genuinely what is still missing? The conflict is literally one kiss away from being solved.
>White Lilies: Represent Mary's purity, virginity, and spotless virtue.>Rays of Light or a Dove: Often depict the Holy Spirit descending upon Mary during the divine conception. >The Divine Spark of Conception: It symbolizes the exact moment of creation, how a single, sudden "spark"transforms into physical, growing human life.>Lara had all of this from the start. The white lilies represent her, and her spark is connected to life itself, just like Grace and the potion. Lara is a child of the new world where humans and mermaids can coexist. She is the spark that can change the world, and even her blade connects to all of this.Holy shit
>>290790697I love Flip Flappers
Flipping over.
>>290790715Finally, the Christian connection.
I know the namefag has been having a huge melty since SuleMio stole his T7Shit Christmas tradition but when someone used this guy for the very first time, his melty skyrocketed. It's like an erupting volcano. And there's him avoiding his fellow Madokafags.
>>290790715You thought they wouldn't go full Andersen because Japan isn't Christian, but watch Lara impregnate her literal virgin Mary.
>>290790715Lilies of course have the double meaning of being a symbol of yuri as well.The Lara/Jesus allegory has never been more accurate
>>290790749>watch Lara impregnate her literal virgin Mary.How she will do it?
>ChisaTaki>Ruri Rocks>Madoka>TakeP
>>290790578What do you mean? She looks the same.
>>290790698In ep 1 Grace said Rowan went to the human world as well. Doesn't look like that will happen in ep 11.
>>290790754Through true love, the love for Jesus Christ. You thought it'd be sex? Can't have that. Not Christian, and Mari wouldn't be a virgin anymore.
>>290790746>meltyFlip out
>>290790723>>290790727>>290790697Take A FliP
>>290790775They can have sex and stay virgins
>>290790775>Mari will die a virginFemcel
>>290790784I want the flip out now.
>>290790715"To serve man... is a cookbook!"Then I am the dirties bitch since 25 years agohttps://youtu.be/kkr9xT5vhBs
>>290790578I hope we'll see Matoi Ryuko Mari again in the last episode
>>290790810You can't box underwater...
>>290790803Not really, she will have sex everyday with her fish wife
Lara is just slightly better than Steins;Gate
Scriptwriter for this ep did episodes 3 and 8 by the way
>>290790828Yuri kino is back
The real question is why no girl has developed any feelings for Mari before Lara considering how cool she is.
>>290790770She never said that. People misunderstood what Greece said. Grace was talking about Lara saying the wrong thing to Rowan and ending up in jail.
>>290790819You can if you punch really really fast
I should commission some Lara art. Too much money and, they need the money more than me. After all, "Commission artist" is just another word for terminally online unemployed person.How about an iconic scene from the Little Mermaid but Lara and her gf?
>>290790746https://voca.ro/1adZ8j6Tah8v
>>290790840Boxing senpai was definitely sexually frustrated over her
>>290790819She HAS to punch something in the finale. Chekhov's gun and everything
>>290790760She looks too derpy, her eyes are too far apart. And her forehead is yuge>>290790810This is the way to draw Mari.
>>290790798Hey why did you crop out TakeP, namefag? Is that how much you hate him?
>>290790864>>290790891She’s gonna drink the potion and turn into a humanoid mantis shrimp
>>290790901Why are you flipping out over that?
The worst plot 2026.
>>290790880>>290790883>>290790907I can smell the seethe coming from this Filipino idol friend of ours
>everyone on X is expecting the kiss between Lara x Mari to happen now tooWe are going to get our dessert
>>290790828How much freedom does the scriptwriter have when they draft the episode? Obviously there’s an overall plot they have to follow, but do they really get to embellish it with added yuri scenes if it suits them?
>>290790918>seetheFlip out
Everyone is arguing yuri vs het when they should be arguing blue fish vs red fish.
>>290790922The only way I can’t see it happening is if Mari and Lara need to actively oppose the light or something, but even then, I feel like rejecting the machinations of Rowan and still sealing it with a kiss would be kino
>>290790922At some point it becomes fair to assume the writers are setting up a proper payoff and not going full retard at the very end.
>>290790929We need fanart of blue mermaid Mari desu
>>290790883Here is my contribution.https://vocaroo.com/1gfg76AqLmy1Nosu composesTorotpaiko writes
Luca or Yoshiya should have gotten this voice actor
>>290790940Why do countless people delete their own post?
>>290790955For a second I thought you posted the infamous man from Thailand Kimura Subaru.
>>290790955Whoops. Here's a bigger pic
>>290790775Plus, all mermaids enter the world through virgin birth. Born out of love, they emerge from shells, no intercourse necessary.
>>290790929Fatty Tuna. Toro. Best Sushi I ever ate. That was Japan Trip 2, where I had a lot of fun.
>>290790948>>290790883Why do "countless" "people" give "themselves"(You)s?
>>290790996Because there are more than one person replying to each other? Do you have an understanding of what a discussion is?
>>290790996?What are you on about?
>>290790439>there is no real reason Mari needed to hold back any information from him at this point.My Guess that Mari doesn't want Luca to worry about Lara's life and death situations.
>>290790861>she never said thatWhy do you fags say this like we can't just find what she said instantly?

>>290791105Very much
Lurked Catalog. The failed artist amongst us must be very happy about that ewhore announcement.
This is off-topic...
>>290791060I look like this.
>>290791107Do you feel addressed by those four words?
I thought this was heading to a "true love is the friends we made along the way" and a discussion how family love and friend love are also forms of True love, but I guess they are just leaning too much on the romantic love angle for it to be true.
>>290791132Sup Takeuchi-san.
>>290791060We look like this.
>>290791114Sendai-san
>>290791132>>290791135>>290791151>>290791155This guy is not right in the head. Even he subtly shat himself
>>290791136"True love includes but is not limited to romantic love" seems to be the message. It's why Lara could find it with Mari but not Luca.
>>290791136If anything it's the opposite, romantic love has been shown to be a failure for Lara
>>290790483Episode 12 just needs Lara stabbing Mari's heart with a dagger.It's not hard.

Breaking News: Lara is yuri.
>>290791231Epic crossover!
>>290791234We agree.
>>290790981>Brawler (Hibike Euphonium)Wait what? I don't remember seeing that guy in the anime.
Soon
>>290791256This, but I think the initiative has to come from Lara
>>290791272Why are you flipping out over a post 9 years ago then?
>>290791272Uh, I don't think this post has anything to do with Sayonara Lara.
Deleting my own posts = self-loathing.
>>290791276Again? It makes more sense if Mari kissed her.
>>290790883>>290790880>>290790948>>290791041Uh, I don't think this post has anything to do with Sayonara Lara.
>>290790840if i remember correctly, other students describe Mari as "arrogant" and "cold", and combine that with Mari having difficulty expressing herself, in contrast with Himeka
>>290791302Talking about ommissioning Lara art is not on topic?
>>290791302What a coincidence, we have the same name.
?
Suddenly namefagging doesn't mean seething (flip out) anymore.
>>290791323Yes?
Melty is getting the better of him
>>290791323Sorry, commissioning. I thought I hit the 'c' key.>>290791332>MeltyFlip out.
>>290791168>>290791211Nonetheless Mari has demonstrated all these types of love that make it up
Love dovey episode between Mari and Lara when?
There is nothing wrong with being Filipino or loving Flip Flappers
>>290791241>>290791234>>290791243So much samefagging
>>290791348I agree
>>290791350Two of those posts are less than a minute apart.
>>290791348Of course you're proud of being a Flip
>>290791346Spin-off sequel manga
>>290791341Because both Lara and Mari feel the same kind of love to each other, aka true love.
>>290791350???
Hopefully the schizo finally kills himself
>>290791346Preezu buyu da bru-rays douzo onegaishimasu

>>290791355>>290791367>>290791375Did you really have to have multiple ISPs for this autism
Important question for you all: why the FUCK is Grace so goddamn cute
>>290791367>Removing the timezoneYou're truly are a faggot
>>290791378?
>>290791391She looks like she fucks human men
>>290791378Proof?
>>290791391She knows she's going to be Gon-chan and set up her niece with a cute tomboy in the future and that sort of inner happiness radiates outward beauty.
Rowan will reveal he has secret water bending powers and will summon a massive water giant to destroy Shiga. Mari and Lara will fly to the fish dagger in a helicopter (piloted by Yoshiya of course) and kiss on top of the dagger to transform it into a mecha of love and light. They’ll battle the water giant and save Shiga together. The End.
>>290791420Fuck you Korra season 2.
>>290791391Oh, her pupils are diamond shaped.
>>290791346Best we can get at this point is like 5 minutes of the finale
>>290791171It could still go either way, Lara failed her 1st and 2nd attempts in romance, maybe third time's the charm?
>>290790081>Rowan invading the sunken ship that is most likely a secret place between Grace and RigmoreA dickhole coming between my incest yuri
>>290791489>dickholeThat's called an urethra, anon.
>>290791489>Grace planned everything about Lara and Mari to right that wrong and have het get cucked by yuri
>>290791518I am really curious about whether her meeting Mari or not was intentional. Based on the PV description it sounds like it might’ve been? If that’s the case, does Mari have some sort of significance on the greater cosmic scale?
>>290791301Let it be her "after all this faffing about, THIS is what I truly want"
Reminder that Grace's lover is Leo in modern times its going to happen
>>290791589Pointless character. Also literal loliconbait
>>290791368More like Ezekiel phoneic, amirite? lol
>>290791617Cute blowjob handles
>>290791558? Nothing about the PV description suggests that.
Mari's name is Otsu Mari,Otsu can mean goodbye in japanese so at the end of the anime Lara will get married into the Otsu family and her name will be Otsu Lara = goodbye Lara
>>290791589sex
>>290791649Her name is already Otsu Lara.
>>290791649Drector-sama, I kneel
>>290791664Not officially. She was just borrowing the surname to get that job.
>>290791631https://youtube.com/shorts/CQUJfs-DoS4>5th trumpetChiwa Saito is coming September 12th!Tooooot! Tooooot!!!
>>290791649Otsu is also the name of the capital city of Shiga. In the last episode Lara and Mari will have their wedding, and then Mari will suggest they go to the capital for their honeymoon, saying, “Let’s go to Goodbye, Lara”
What do you think is going to be revealed about the light and Grace’s backstory that will recontextualize what Mari needs to do to help Lara?
>>290790124>>290790107really? i still think she's not that happy... but we'll see in the full episode
Has anyone considered the fact that this episode might be trying to set up Mari and Lara as a parallel to Grace and Rigmor…
>>290791742Swearing eternal love to her (aka a confession and a marriage proposal) and kissing her.
>>290791761Only if Rigmor, in fact, loved Grace romantically, then would make sense a bit of sense.
>>290791761Nah, I think it will be a parallel to Grace and her prince. Her lover probably killed her sister, then she killed him with the dagger. She wants to prevent that from happening again.
>>290791761Maybe in a "don't repeat the mistakes of the past" way, otherwise no.
>>290790081>>290790088Young Grace is so adorable!!!
>>290791761Mari is a human. Her relationship with Lara is meant to be one of a mermaid with a human. There is no sense in paralleling two mermaids with a human and mermaid pair in a story about finally bridging the divide the two. She is more likely to be contrasted to the human prince Grace met instead.
>>290791761That's exactly what it's doing. Grace's failed romance with the human is obviously a parallel to Lara's.
These threads are boring without good schizo theories, so here's a new one: the show actually has two different ends. Basically another episode worth of content spread across two episodes, making it a 13 episode production masquerading as a 12ep show. The upcoming screening shows one of them, but they won't tell them it's just one of them. Then the broadcast version will be entirely different, producing good viral marketing.There will be a meta time travel justification for this, and the true end and true love can only be achieved after completing the loop another time.
>1000's of posts per hourIs Lara the Flip Flappers of or Generation?
>>290791869I had enough of this bullshit with Punchline.>The true ending? It's in this shitty Vita game that's 90% the same as the anime anyway.
>>290791890>Flip FlappersIt's more popular than that
Sad flashback story and episode incoming. I can’t believe the anon who said it was going to be a tearjerker episode was right.
>>290791931I expect the saddest scene to be Grace bidding Mari farewell rather than the backstory itself.
>>290791943Same
>>290791761i don't think so? That would be weird. Also, I think Mari and Lara will parallel Grace and her prince in some way, in terms of why the past relationship failed, and now Mari and Lara have to succeed
When Lara and Mari finally meet again, do you think that the surge of emotion from realizing her feelings for Mari and fearing for Mari's safety will cause Lara to revert back to mermaid? Like what the rush of fear from seeing Luca the first time in ep 7 caused to happen. Then everyone around her is confused about what is going on.
It seems very likely now that Grace tried to attack Rowan last episode to prevent him from forcing Lara to kill Mari, don't you think?
I'm not Christian.So What's is Agape Love? Its some sort of Romantic Love? Mari Win?
Now I want Mari to kiss Lara in front of Rowan. Can you imagine the seethe? It would be the same meltdown that hetcucks would have lol
>>290791931It just says that the show's coming to an end and they're going to miss Lara, not that the episode is sad.
>>290792007Because of bad scholarship it's generally taken to mean things like the love of community fellowship or Godly love, but originally it was closer to erotic love especially in the context of orgiastic cult rituals which is how the term entered the christian lexicon. Centuries of whitewashing just swept the christian orgies under the rug.
So since they apparently changed the one who woke up from Luna to Rowan what was the original plan? Or maybe she was supposed to wake up earlier, not at the climax and they've cut it out?
>>290792147There's a line in what sounds like her voice in the final pre-release trailer, I think she and the other sisters will still wake up although it's possible her original role was larger.
This really needed 2 seasons
>>290792225It's fine as it is
>>290792147>>290792147I mean, it's a concept teaser to test out ideas, her original role is probably the same as Lisa's but got changed. Also, they had Lara blushing at Luca in that concept teaser, which then got repurposed to her blushing at Mari.
>>290792260True, but another season of just cute LaraMari dates would still be nice.
Kino episode incoming
>>290792318Someone try and get him to comment on the yuri again
>>290792318Fuck, I think they might stick the landing on this show.
>>290791931The One who said that they know someone who do subtitles, right.
>>290791931>I can’t believe the anon who said it was going to be a tearjerker episode was right.And You Peoples doesn't believe me. Now wait for Final Episodes.
>>290792407Yes, he said that someone that does the thai subs posted in a group saying that this episode would be really sad.
>>290792435I fucking kneel anon
>>290792318Mari will realize her love for Lara is tomantic through the flashback story, I'm calling it.
Fuck, it's so annoying that we're getting leaks for episode 12 no matter what.
>>290792502romantic*
>>290792437It’s definitely gonna be Grace torture porn. My guess is Rigmor is probably killed in a misunderstanding with humans, and then Rowan probably kills her human lover. Then she’s ostracized from mermaid society for basically doing nothing wrong.
>>290792507Just avoid the thread (and the yuri thread too since they're for sure going to talk about it)
>>290792502I agree, I’m pretty sure Grace is meant to be a reflection of both Lara AND Mari. Mari has basically acknowledged her love but were of course missing those three key words.I also think it’s good that this ep is gonna be depressing cuz the ending is probably gonna be happy, not that that is very surprising
>>290791761
>>290792437>>290792450Well, This is what he hint about final episodes to me."Goodbye, Lara" have more than 1 means
Literally got the confirmation bros
So Grace definitely said something that blew up her own human relationship, right? That's why she insists on taking Lara's tongue the first time because she knew the danger directly.
>>290792574KINO
Superfriendship shitposters' last stand
At this point is either kiss or bust. No other choice
>>290792574The kiss is fucking happening, I’m putting it all on the line
AOTY potential
>>290792626Same here anon, they will kiss and it will be one of the best kisses in anime period
Bunch of larpers, bunch of cowards. You going to crawl out here for episode 11??? I've been here since the first pv and my prayers and the offering of my good breast is the grit that real yurifags need.
>>290792574What exactly would be the mistake Grace made with prototype Mari then? Mari and Lara's current mistakes are basically the inability to tell each other their true feelings, so for Grace, I guess that means... did she get NTRed? She got NTRed didn't she.
This will be one of the best yuri ever made
>>290792623The kiss is there to show how bigger Lara's light is even without the need to kiss Mari.
>>290792626>>290792696I hope you're right, guys.
>>290792782>here's my one last cope!
>>290792782Just imagine what is gonna happen when they kiss
>>290792755I was keeping my expectations low and saying they were making them hug here, but now I’m not so sure
>>290792318At least he's making good on his promise to not leak anything for the last two eps. Too bad we can't do anything about the finale.
>>290791823She was so pretty…Where did things go so wrong?
>>290792802I hope if it does happen they reuse the same track from the end of episode 3. I’ve been listening to it nonstop since then and it really fits with the anticipatory build up to a kiss
>>290792755I wonder if any prophets clocked it as yuri from the concept trailer instead
>>290792835The concept trailer honestly has very little focus on Mari and even has Lara blush at Luca. I have to wonder if there was a story change at some point or if it was just elite deception
>>290792765Maybe she used the dagger to take his soul like Lara's father is trying to make Lara do.
>>290792574>Mari dies >Lara goes goth >show ends with the new "witch" convincing the next mermaid that she needs to find "true love"
>>290792832>tfw this plays during LaraMari's kisshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Faebswi3hG0
>>290792927It would be too kinography
>>290792765>What exactly would be the mistake Grace made with prototype Mari then?She must have said something that either caused her mermaid origin to become a scandal or she verbalized her love and he didn't reciprocate. The catastrophe must have been the result of words which is why she takes Lara's tongue and gives her that warning.
>>290792800I'm just a pessimist.
>>290792927Or this one, I think this is what was used in ep 3:https://youtu.be/Utsh9hZttHI?is=VIGVrQpffYATgE-T
>>290792967I think this one will be used >>290792927, it has that climax kiss ending vibe.
I haven't been this excited for an anime episode in years. It's gonna be pure kino, I can feel it.
>>290792981Same here, good God. No wonder they were so satisfied with the ending that they decided to hold an advance screening.
>>290792947Alright but at least provide reasonable cynical theories based off the show instead of making stuff up.
>Grace: Mari, you are Lara’s prince, you must help her restore the shape of her love!>Mari: B-but….w-we’re both girls! I c-can’t just kiss her!>Grace: Huh? Who said anything about a kiss?
>>290793004The animation's been ramping up since episode 9, can't wait to see what they pull for the final ep.
>>290792981Episode 9 and 10 brought my excitement back
>>290793034Not 8? I loved it.
>>290792853Mari carrying Lara at the end was kinda suspicious desu. They definitely had their relationship as the main one in mind from the beginning, even if it might've been different than what we have now.
In which episode did Luca meet Lara?
>>290793091ep 6 post credit
>>2907930628 was incredible. Honestly 7 is the only one that’s felt weird to me but I think that was more the pacing than anything
>>290792927How are you guys able to play it? I keep getting a dead link.
>>290793034My excitement never left.
>>290793034So would you say it restored your light *ba dum tss*
>>290793106Thanks, I had dropped this at that time. Did het lose? I keep seeing yuri posts.
>>290793128Confirmed true love between the girls. Whether it's platonic or romantic is yet to be seen. Most people are betting romantic.
>>290793152>>290793128It's confirmed romantic in episode 11 judging by this post >>290792574
>>290793128Bait of the century if they fuck it up.
>>290792574Then why grace want Lara after Luca then?
>>290793257Because she didn't know that Lara had fall in love with Mari and Mari with Lara.
>>290793279i think ep 9 made her realise that he isn't the one for lara
Rowan added nothing to the gene pool except that red color
>>290792574Grace FAILS. Extremely grim omen for yuritrannies
>>290793175Yea they’d really be pushing it by setting up that parallel and not following through lol
>>290793337Lara is literally a carbon copy of her mother
>>290792835thats what i did honestly. my yuri radar went off when this happened. something about Mari's design and them putting her here at the end just signaled something.
>>290793354besides the hair and eye color difference she also has different shaped hair and her bangs are swept in the opposite direction. otherwise i think the face is the same.
hetcucks in shambles.
>>290793337It's too bad those silver eyes didn't get passed down to anybody, they're so pretty.
>>290793376Lara’s eyes will turn that color when she kisses Mari, trust
>>290792318>emotional reaction for character with 5 seconds of screentime...lol
>>290793376I like how this habit of Grace's passed on to Lea, its a cute detail
>>290793398Believe it or not, good writing can make you care about characters in a short amount of time
>>290793398>imagine not caring for Grace
>>290793426She died this episode and I felt nothing
,So True Love is Romantic after all.
>>290793337It's horrible how the red mermaids are overtaking the glorious blue mermaid line. Blue mermaids are going to come back bigly.
>>290793436Pretty sure she didn’t die yet though. I think she’s gonna impart her story on Mari and then die, which should be much more emotionally charged
>>290793484They already blew their load, it won't change anything
>>290792835For me knowing that it's an original done by people behind butai shoujo was more than enough. A total no-brainer.
>>290793337>>290793374Black haired mermaids incoming.
>>290793337She was dead before Lara was born...
Wondering how many interesting details I've probably missed during my first watch. These scenes are from episode 1 and 2 and they keep reminding us of the moon and the ring
>>290793660They will kiss in the same place they met the 1st time I bet
>>290793660Lisa is clearly being set up to join Lara’s side and give her the ring, which will change to red and confirm Lara’s true love
>>290793660Would be weird if the ring never showed up again; it's the next to last episode and no one ever mentions the ring.
>>290792755Do you think those two have something to announce
>>290793756It stopped being relevant after ep 2. They didn't even mention it again
>>290793772>>290793756It will appear in the end for sure.
>>290793760>as close as mari and larauh oh
>>290793756It's shown to be in Lisa's possession.This show much prefers mentioning something visually.
>>290793760to get into character they've been slamming clams and got married. i appreciate that work ethic
He So Brave.
>>290793863We all know this, but thanks for pointing that out Captain Obvious.
One of the very few anime where magic babies are possible in-universe and not a single fanart of hypothetical laramari offspring? Gotta say, I'm disappointed. Normally I'm not into that whole "becoming parents" trope in fanart but this time I find the idea cute.
>>290793864Kawaishi genuinely sounds autistic enough to visit lesbian bars in preparation for voicing a yuri role. Unfortunately she didn't know this show would be yuri, alas.
>>290793867>He So Brave.being a retard
>>290793867Notice how Mari only mentions Lara alongside Gon-chan and never individually.
Re-watched the first few episodes over the weekend, there's a lot of cute gimmicks dropped by episode 3.
>>290793935Both are import to her, but in episode 11 she will see the difference of the kind of the love she feels for Grace than what she feels for Lara.
>>290793756We keep getting shots of the rings through the series even after the whole episode about Lara's looking for hers. It'll play some sort of role at the end hence why Lisa hasn't given it back yet
>>290793978Why I'm getting the feeling that Lisa will fall in love with Yoshiya?
>>290793963The clam on her head? Luca also stopped falling over after only 2 eps.
>>290793756i think it'll show up again, it's like one of those subtext visual cues that confirm Mari is Lara's true love since ep 1
>>290794008That would be Luna, Lisa already has Kota
why the fuck do we even have a leaker for this? and he's some bozo that posts on twitter? are studios hiring westerners from twitter to freelance for them or something?
>>290793904The canon offspring appear in the after credits scene. A fat-tailed, black haired baby mermaid swimming by with Rowan's statue head in its mouth.
>>290794026>>290793978It's gonna be stupid, like, somewhere after the events of the series, Lisa would be like, "Oh, btw, here's your ring." And then it reacted to true love, and everyone would be like *slaps forehead* "well duh!"
>>290794104It's likely he works for Crunchyroll somewhere and gets access to the episodes while they're being subbed and dubbed.
>>290794011The little clam is the only thing I wish they'd kept every now and then. It was so cute and original.
>>290794104He doesn't leak for this series specifically, he just leaks staff lists and maybe announcements if they're part of the episode. People simply got interested for spoilers since it's an anime original and very good but at least he gave up for the last episodes. Also, I believe he just has a source that gets episodes earlier and posts shit for social media clout as usual
>>290793335Probably hence why she was all "Lara wait, you-" in that episode.
Luca is lucky
>>290792853I think maybe the broad strokes were already there, but they readjusted the focus a little bit between the characters.
>>290794104The leaker is most likely involved with the subbing
Any of you watch Chao the MC actually plaps his mermaid princess and makes half-babies
>>290791823So cute, I hate Rowan so fucking much
The fact that Lara was born means the mother can't be truly dead. Grace also implies in ep 1 that she can be revived somehow. She must exist as light or some shit. Anyway, I doubt it's gonna be a downer ending.
Someone pointed out most of the sisters look or act like Grace
>>290794617Rowan... why?
>>290794532Damn there's so much mermaid slop>ponyo>chao>lu>this
>>290794617Grace is the father.
>>290793867Question #1073370 that for some mysterious reason is never asked when the pairing is straight.
>>290794764It's irrelevant to normal natural relationships. Go back to shitter and cry
>>290794617Holy shit, what if the blue haired ones are love children of Grace and Rigmor and the red haired ones are Rowan's?
>>290794792Deboonked. He could have fucked Grace tho
>>290792755I'm sorry, King. I gave all I had to G-Witch and my old heart can't take it anymore. I've just been observing from the sidelines like a cuck.
>Sharp highlights: The symbol of a mermaid, sharp and dazzling light reflections Rounded highlights: The symbol of humanity, soft light reflections >When Lara thinks of Mari, the sharp highlights in her eyes fade away, which might mean she doesn't want to cause Mari any harm (because the light of the special princess has a dual nature: if true love cannot be obtained, the other must be killed). Lara hopes to love Mari more as an "ordinary human" than as a "princess with a knife."The details are so fucking good, I didn't notice that.
>>290794617All the sisters have the same chest pattern that Grace has instead of what either Rigmore or Rowan have.
>>290792638Yuri end - AOTSKiss - AOTY
Reminder that Luca and Lisa having sameface syndrome really was just hackneyed character design.
>Mari is Christian >Jesus died for the sake of everyone>Mari will die for the sake of all mermaids >Jesus came back life>Mari will come back to life Mari = Jesus?
>>290794931That theory was just yurischizo desperation
I would marry Lara's mom
>>290790715>White Lilies: Represent Mary's purity, virginity, and spotless virtue>lily>Mary>yuri>MariIs this a little too on the nose?
>>290788522In the book, mermaids don't have souls, but can gain them by marrying a human, which shares the human soul with them or by killing a human and taking it. They can just live as mermaids for hundredes or thousands of years in a kind of innocent eden like state too, but when they die they become seafoam and are gone forever. By gaining a soul they can attain salvation and reach an afterlife. The light is basically that. The potential to sort of ascend into a higher but less innocent state of being and gain love and the chance at salvation but risk damnation or to sieze it through violence and make a new path as a witch.
>>290794975Jesus is her son.
>>290795000It would've been way funnier than what we got with Luca just being a false lead.
>>290795056They live for 300 years and they don't get a soul for killing, they just won't turn into sea foam immediately.
Grace and Rigmor shimaidon
>>290794975That needs to happen. It would go hard as fuck, as youngsters say these days.
>>290794975Yoshiya is Jesus, and the director said he will do something in the final episode
Most male fish do not have a penis; instead, they reproduce through external fertilization where females release eggs and males release sperm into the water.No wonder Rowan is so pissed at human males who can actually fuck their fish.
Wonder Grace Go rush her relationship with the prince and become tragedy (dagger appear eat him) which lead human go war with merfolks.
>>290795268Has he been cumming in the clams?
>>290795358Nah it's more connected to Grace sister, maybe her Prince saw her sister as mermaid and killed her so Grace cursed dagger killed him for that starting the war.If it was just about Grace x Prince there would not be so much focus on the sister, and also Rowan in this.
>>290795403Maybe mermaids just lie one big egg for one baby, they lie it in the clam and Rowan role is to cum all over it.
>>290795418If true then How it's parallel to Lara, Mari and Luca?
>>290795268>>290795403>>290795441Oh gross... this shit must be Rowan's cum. What the FUCK
>>290795490Luca was just a red herring for Lara and the audience, I don’t think he has a parallel in Grace’s story
It's obvious that mermaids reproduce in vitro here. Shouldn't be too hard to adjust their magic voodoo a little to give 2 girls with TRUE LOVE™ an offspring?
What exactly did Kota do to get him and Lisa identification and he's going to do that for Lara too won't he?
>>290795519But Leaker said it's parallel of what going on in modern time.
>>290795538Mari's futa cock can do that the human way
>>290790995Agree but there are different kinds of toro. Akami isn't fatty. Chutoro and otoro are the best. Otoro can be too fatty even so I like it better as nigiri while chutoro would be my choice for sashimi.
>>290795584Leaker liked a post saying Grace and her prince parallel Lara and Mari, nothing about Luca. It’s likely Grace made a similar mistake that Lara is going to make in regards to Mari
>Grace was obsessed with a man>should have recognized the love right next to herHere comes sisterhood with a steel chair
>>290795591Just ask the witch for a futa potion.
What score would you give the anime if the kiss happens in episode 12?
>>290795723Betting that Grace's sister light it's from her love for Grace instead of Rowan.
>>290795723True Love is Familyy love after all.
>>290795723Yuritrannies would sooner believe Grace and Rigmor were fucking than the fact it will be a friendship/family ending
Now that I think about it, Lara presumably losing the “identify your true love on sight” ring right at the beginning of the story is kinda hilarious. It’s stupid but it works in regards to making people come up with theories
>>2907957319/10 if they stick the landing.
>>290792566>"Goodbye, Lara" have more than 1 meansWhat's that's mean? Several People's say goodbye to Lara?
Grace's flashback will tell why love detector ring it's useless.
>>290795819>Grace and Rigmor were fuckingHonestly they can't fuck in human sense, hell even almighty Rowan doesn't have a dick to penetrate his so called wife. He can just cum all over her eggs in the water.
>>290795584Leaker liked a reply that says Grace and her prince parallel Lara and Mari's relationship.
>>290795836If Lara hadn't lost her ring, the story could've ended in ep 3 when that dagger appeared and Grace saw it.
>>290796202>even almighty Rowan doesn't have a dickHow do you know that?
>>290792120The meaning as it relates to groups like the cult of Dionysus is probably less relevant to the narrative than those revolving around sacrificial love.
>>290792574Can't wait for the inevitable kiss between Lara and Mari
>>290790094Betting all my money on that she didn't love this guy. She probably loved a human and Rowan got all butthurt about it. That human is also a woman.
>>290796692Dumb one
>>290796692That's too many layers of yuri google.
>>290796692She loved her sister
>>290796692They wouldn't have needed to give Grace the backstory with a human if that was the case. I doubt they'll complicate things so much.
>>290796743Betting on both of them loving humans, adding even more to Rowan's butthurt about humans.
Rowan didn't do anything wrong.
>>290796855He threw his daughter in jail for interacting with humans, that's not very nice.
Grace did everything right
>>290793660Do what does the color of the ring signify?
>>290797110except for coming up with a good plan and being good to the other nieces.
You do realize that Lara and Mari cannot legally get married in Japan right?
Lara is technically born in international waters so she can do what she wants.
>>290797206They can in Shibuya.
>>290797173I'm sure she actually loves some random girl that kept her as a fucking goldfish more than her actual family.
>>290797290Lara is the true sovereign citizen...
>>290797173Rowan banished her from entering the castle, how would she have had a relationship with the other nieces?She just bet it all into the one that reminded her of her dead favorite sister the most.
>>290794975Would be fitting. Andersen couldn't stop Bible thumping for five minutes to save his life. Probably where most of his repressed homosexuality came from too.I imagine Koide's eyes lit up when he started reading up on Andersen bullshit. So much material for pretentious fart sniffing.
>>290794975Lara is jesus, she alreaday tecnically died and came back.
>>290797206Legal wedding and church wedding are entirely different things. Especially in Japan where the church wedding is complete LARP in 99% of all cases.Granted, Mari has at least some Christian connection so it's not quite as silly, but still absolutely something the anime could pull given plot justification.>Grandma, I need you to wed me and Lara, or Shiga gets shiggered>yes I do love her but that's not the point-
>>290797658I'm starting to think it's going to happen.>grandma officiates>Yoshiya plays the organ>Luca draws a shitty picture>the Andeken staff bake the cake>Himeka carries the rings
>>290797700>Luca draws a shitty pictureHey!
>>290795538What the fuck are you talking about? The very first scene in the anime is explicating that they are born out of shells, hell the very first LINE is "So this is how we're born?" Not to mention that Lara's mother is *already dead* as she is being born.
>>290797700That would bring everything full circle and give a reason for the cake shop subplot existing. I hope this happens.
>>290797700There are a lot of as of yet unused chekov guns that would all neatly fold into that kind of ending, and it would back reference Andersen's quite literal Christ faggotry too, in more ways than one. If Koide sniffs his farts as hard as I think he does, he absolutely has to go for this.
