Episode 11 outRaging debates over spoilers for advanced screening legitimacy and accuracy are ongoing.
I love Grace even more...Do (You) love her too?
>Goes out saying gay rights
Posting this for no reason.
>>290916868>Grace disapproves of age of consent laws
>"um so like maybe you shouldn't lie?">kills you and takes your lightWhat the FUCK is wrong with mermaids?
>>290916748(Sad) reminder that Luca got closer to kissing Lara than Mari ever did.
>>290916791Sayonara Grace.
>>290916868>>290916921BASED Grace
Sex is gonna happen
>every leak was fucking wrongIs it AI translations that are wrong? Or are people just really bad at understanding what they're watching?
This girl lost her mom twice.
>>290916868If I didn't know about episode 12 already I'd be 120% convinced this was leading into the LaraMari kiss. I'm still 120% convinced it would make a lot more sense than what is actually going to happen, because holy shit.
Can doujin even save this
>>290917076Fuck royalty, Grace may have been sad about it but I approve her actions.
>>290917093The leak is for the final episode schizo
Reminder that the message in episode 11 is followed up directly with the supposed leaks, down to the exact lines:Episode 12 roughly goes like this:Mari arrives on Okishima and encounters the anglerfish that is about to disappear, with Lisa standing nearby, unable to do anything.Lisa gives Mari a long lecture, but she doesn’t stop her from going to Lara.Mari eventually reaches Lara, who is in her mermaid form — and she looks absolutely gorgeous!Lara tells Mari not to come any closer because she might accidentally kill her.Lara then intends to use the fish sword to kill herself and break the mermaid curse, because she doesn’t want to kill Mari.“There can be no ending for a mermaid and a human!”But Mari doesn’t care and tells Lara:“You were born to love, weren’t you?”At that moment, the fish sword pierces through Mari and swallows an orb that seems to contain Mari’s soul.Lara breaks down crying over Mari’s death. She starts smashing the fish sword and destroys half of it.Then the fish sword opens its huge mouth and swallows Lara as well.Inside the fish sword, Lara searches for Mari, but the inside is filled with spikes that surround and trap her.Her memories with Mari begin flashing before her again, and her “princess power” starts shining. She breaks all of the spikes.Lara rushes toward Mari with all her strength and grabs her in an embrace.Then the fish sword explodes, sending the two of them flying into the air, and they are saved.Six months later, Lara says goodbye to Lisa and receives her mother’s ring from her.In the end, Lara says that she wants to live on her own, so she leaves the Amatsu household.Lara and Mari go to the station together. Lara gets on the train, and Mari runs after the train for a while.The final shot shows Mari’s profile.And that’s the end of the series.Yes, that’s right. The title Sayonara Lara literally means that they really do say goodbye.
>mom is just copy paste of daughterGetting real tired of this shit
>>290917093Third option is people just like to make shit up
>>290916868This was pretty gay to be honest
>>290917093Imbecile
>>290917093Please explain how does this episode proves that the chink leak is fake. The leak included that Lara would be in mermaid form and that Mari would tell Lara to "live for love", both specific details that were set up by this episode
O-owari da...
>>290917147They have different eyes though
The closeup on the cross is definitely supposed to convey that Mari has been demonstrating the “live for love” message that the show is pushing now, connecting it back to the Christian themesThis is also verbatim what the Chinese leaker said in regards to what Mari says to LaraSo indeed the final message of the show is a callback to the original Christian tale of having love in your heart throughout all aspects of life like a good little Christian. Koide subverted nothing and this is quite plainly retelling of the exact same story
i guess 2 atoms were not enough
>>290917099She loved her Gon-Chan so much :(
Koide did exactly what he said he was going to do: he gave the little mermaid a steadfast companion who helped her avoid the fate of the original story by giving her the confidence to move past tying her fate to romantic love and now she gets her happy ending by freely living on the land.
>>2909171812 atoms is the size of Japanese writers' brains upon having to write an ending.
I told you all two threads back that The final message is Lara living her life for the experience itself as a demonstration of true love. This is why she leaves at the end, to continue to experience new things that widen her meaning of love. Mari helps her understand this next ep
So none of the problems would've happened if Grace fucked her sister?
>>290917179> throughout all aspects of life like a good little Christian. Why does that make you seethe?> Koide subverted nothing The ending sounds shit but I am tried of subversions, they are almost always garbage. We should play things straight more.
>>290916791She risked the entire kingdom just to project that dumb dream onto the girl. Goodbye, Grace, you won't be missed.
>>290917204>showing that true love is romantic the entire episode just to trow it out in the trash in the final episodeBravo
So, Grace set Lara up just to prove a point?
Is this what you expected the show to be, going in?
>>290917140>Lara says that she wants to live on her ownfake
>>290917227Awesome. Why was Mari herself the focus every time Lara's true love got brought up, up to and including her explicitly thinking about her when asked point-blank? That seems just a little incoherent with the answer the show is arriving to.
Do you reckon this is how aliens talk about us?>"those humans will fuck ANYTHING you know?"
>>290916791Nah. She accomplished nothing.
>>290917256Yeah, like fucking ROMANCE.
>>290917271I expected more boxing.
If the story ultimately ends up being about self-love, was an entire episode dedicated to Himeka’s story really necessary?
>>290917207Watch Gunbuster. Read the Climber.
>>290917271I always expect friendship ending unless stated otherwise yes
>>290917256I don’t really care if the show wants to go with a Christian ‘universal love throughout life’ message but shit like the shot of Mari explicitly when Rowan asks about Lara’s true love means nothing in that regard
Please tell me you fell bad for Grace.
The flower shown here as Lara is looking at the dagger outside is called star of Bethlehem. Flower meaning seems to be mainly about purity and innocence.
>>290916748Lucalara won bigly
>>290917260What has "the kingdom" ever done to deserve salvation? Bunch of pricks just moaning and waiting for help to come from above.
>>290917181i wonder if japs also say “two towers were not enough” when watching american shows with garbage endings
>>290917140You know its almost like the leaker probably attended the event knew the events of episode 11 then made a fanfiction of episode 12 just to fuck around on the forum before it exploded in engagement
>>290917306Renders almost all episodes meaningless
>>290917290As you’ll see in 12 the show is implying a deeper connection between Lara and Mari but doesn’t elaborate on it, such as with the dagger stabbing her. Again, I think it’s part of what makes the finale confusing as it follows through on 11’s message but leaves some things unclear like that.
>>290917260She didn't even really care about her nieces. The only thing that mattered to her was a silly dream.
>>290917376Nice try fish
Satou going crazy on the boards with this one. Good episode. Loved the way they stylized the surface world in the past, gave it a very fairy tale, pop-up book feel that separates it from both the sea world and the modern day.
>>290917262>showing that true love is romantic the entire episode just to trow it out in the trash in the final episodeat least we got Rowan and Rigmors kiss that proves TRUE LOVE is, in fact, ROMANTIC. But the kisses between girls is forbidden as usual
>>290917333I was talking more about your mocking post when saying “ like a good little Christian”. The shitty modern world is a result of not acting like that.
>>290917306Himeka’s episode in context is more important for the ‘I can continue to love and experience new things even after heartbreak’ message than anything else
>>290917262I won't lie, if they really wanted to set up different perspectives of what true love can be then this episode fucked it all over. Pretty much the only examples of ACTUAL true love able to recreate the light that we have seen were romantic
>Japan loves it>/a/ hates itexplain.
>>290917439The merfolk grieving dress code was cool
>>290917140This is full of inconsistencies. The dagger is small enough to pierce Mari but big enough to eat Lara? How is Lara moving about while in mermaid form? How is she back on land afterwards with, presumably, legs?
>>290917306That episode was about how you don't need to end up with the "prince" to find "true love"
Tuesday PV should make or break the leaks
>>290917479A country of cucks from creators to audiences.
>>290917479We have been tainted by fake spoilers
So what's with mermaids with red and blue hair?
>>290917402Ugh I fucking hate wishy washy bullshit like that. So cowardly. If you got nothing to say, don't make an original story.
>>290917487You know what Himeka was shown to have done later? She found another romantic partner.
>>290917515Royal inbreeding
>I didn't expect them to have 4 legs and such a big cock
>>290917505I assure you that your country is even more cucked. Where do you live?
>>290917140>I like living with you so much so let me just go away and live on my own, far away from youno way this is real
>>290917179The close up of the cross is a reminder of Mari's mother and the love she received from her mother. Once Grace had recovered she could've left that place at any point but she stayed to watch over Mari. They healed each other.
>>290917511Ah, denial stage, I see.
>Lara's mom was not the Fish of DoomSo what is it? Some kind of allegory?
>>290916791Bitch
Why can't the Japanese ever make a good ending to their mediaHas there ever been any single piece of Japanese media with a good ending?
So was there a kiss in the final ep? Some yurifags seem likely to actually kill themselves if not
>>290917483The dagger first reappears handheld sized like it does in the first ep and with Grace. After it stabs Mari it reforms again in its massive form and basically destroys a part of Grace’s lair in the process of eating Lara as well.
>>290917505>hates anime/manga>is on /a/Kill yourself.
>>290916868>Live for love, not for laws.What is the het explanation for this?
>>290917574
>>290917382And then conveniently deleted everything
I don't know man, Lara leaving Mari and all the other people she bonded with just like that... It sounds TOO retarded and sudden, like drama for the sake of drama. What's the point?
>>290917580Nope In fact Lara leaves mari forever
>>290917536Yeah, but it wasn't "Ouji"
No one has mentioned that the twitter leaker likely got brain damaging watching this ep because there is absolutely no parallel to Grace’s Prince and Mari lmao
I can't trust any spoiler text in this thread after episode 11. The chinese leak still stands
>>290917598Most laws are fucking gay
>>290917579Please tell me this is bait. If it isn’t bait then you are the reason everyone hates your clueless generation
>>290917479Japan has an endless appetite for swilling friendslop since they're all hikikomori loners.
>>290917479>Japan loves itIt's like 50/50 japanese/western fan art for this and not a lot of it for either regions.
>>290917615The show is called goodbye Lara >>290917642What was the
All leaks are fake until next sunday.
>>290917633Mari isn't the prince yet. Why does Lara have to eschew romantic love entirely instead of being with Mari when even this episode showed the light of true love is romantic?
Get real tired of gay shows this season.
>>290917466>>290917487Lara's light reacts after Himeka says >"He's not the only prince out there, you know?">"I'm looking forward to meeting my new prince!"And then episodes later she starts dating a new guy. Does this shit makes sense to you?
>>290917663Anon?
>>290917595>Lara destroys half of it>It reformsYeah no
>>290917640No, we were all very clear he's fucking retarded and that it was a bad sign for yuri if we were relying on him.
>>290917579Not anime.Anime is just expensive advertisements (yes originals too), so they're not supposed to be final and conclusive. Open endings are better for business
>>290917648So you can't name a single good ending then?
>>290917649Lol, the japs consume a lot of porn and the west is getting more and more sexless nowadays.
I'll be honest, I would freak out tooBecause I don't know how big the tank would have to be
>>290917633*the prince either
>>290917684Pretty gruesome
>>290917482You know they fleshed out some details of merfolk society in true autistic japanese fashion. If they do make sequels I'd want to see more merfolk adventures.
>>290917598>>290917615Im not sure how else to restate the idea that what true love is is truly dependent on the person, and that it shouldn’t follow any preconceived notions or rules. For Lara, it means experiencing all life on the surface has to offer, venturing out and encountering new people and places and filling her heart this way. I think perhaps Mari is a piece of this, but the ending does not elaborate on anything romantic in nature
>>290917684Yummy yummy heart.
It's literally called Sayonara, Lara. The Japanese are not known for their subtlety.
>>290917642What did the Chinese leaker say
>>290917673Lara had it in her mind she was looking for her prince, but it turns out she was looking for something else, and that's also true love. That's the only thing you need to take away from Himeka's episode.
>>290917700Another retarded zoomer, watch more anime.>>290917703>>290917316
>>290917623rip yurifags
>>290917515It looks pretty and striking?
>>290917741It skipped over episode 11 and is basically what >>290917140 mtl says
Live to Love is the theme here, meaning Lara needs to find all sorts of love to keep bringing the light to her people. So her leave makes perfect sense. Mari and Grace was just one form of love, the love of friendship. Next is romantic love which might be with Luca. Then maybe maternal love for their child.
>>290917754Why would I?I read literature, bitch, anime is for children.It's a just a relaxing hobby for me, one when you don't have to think much
>>290917700if you hate anime then why are you on /a/? also literally 99.9999% of all media is made to sell something, it’s not just an anime thing and indie anime does exist
Anyone in the mood for sushi tonight?
>>290917227>>290917290>>290917271>>290917333>>290917728>both Grace and Rigmor produce light when they feel love for humans>Lara also sparks light when with Mari>somehow Lara need to find another meaning of love by separating with Marithis shit is confusing.
This show has been shit ever since the bakery episode
>>290917570You too will learn skepticism when you grow up
>>290917728>>290917751Again, every time the subject of true love comes up, it was always about Mari specifically. The light reacts to Mari far stronger than with anyone else. Mari is the only person that pops up in Lara's head upon being asked. Lara's true love being experiencing new things on the surface could've been what the show built up to, but it just wasn't.
>>290917794>literaturemost of that is pure slop ngl
The spoilers sound plausible, but they also sound obviously incomplete. I want to see how the story is actually presented.If they don't show the mermaids revive, that would actually be a pretty major plot hole that renders the narrative incomplete. You don't just leave the kingdom without the light. Regarding the romantic kisses - come on now, this was always a story about "all kinds of love", not just romantic love - the creators mentioned that they didn't want to answer what true love is, full stop, so don't expect it, obviously. Leaving the town behind is... weird, it doesn't really flow with the found family idea, but I guess it makes sense with Lara being as open as she is? But at the same time, being too open is a problem. Lara's not gonna survive long if she turns into a hippie who tries to love literally everything.We'll see.
>>290917728Who is the one that asks Lara the "Lara, what was it that you truly wanted?" line from PV 3?
>>290917623She doesn't leave her forever
LisaxKota happily ever after in the end.
Luca won
>>290917842Maybe recent books
>>290917688Yeah, it does. That's what Himeka was looking for, that's not what Lara was looking for. I also agree with the other anon's interpretation that the episode was about being able to move on after failure.
>>290917794>anime is for children.Yes anon, Sawaranaide Koteashi-kun is clearly a great kids show, fuck Barney, my sons will grow up with this!
>>290917802Only the last one is, because it's fake
>>290917798Anime is advertisement for something external, just a piece of media in a bigger whole.
>>290917863Luca means Light
>>290917794So literature is the only media you consume? Ok zoomer. Also this feels like you are pretending since zoomies can’t put their iphone downs and are the most illiterate generation. Hard to believe ngl.
>>290917891Based, your sons might actually grow up heterosexual.
>>290917919I'm not a zoomer
>>290917358Have you actually seen the episode? If you’ve already seen it, take your medication and watch it again.
>>290917909All media is an ad. Also what was odd taxi advertising?
>>290917845>the creators mentioned that they didn't want to answer what true love is, full stopWell, they literally showed it this episode through Rigmor and Rowan bringing back the light again through romantic love. In fact, any chance they had of showing other facets of love they always defaulted to romantic being more important/stronger
>>290917640There is? Both prince and Mari are food for the blade
>Rigmor's light is a man>Grace's light is a man>Lara's light is a womanWhy is she the only faggot in the family
>>290917924I'll reward them with ecchi anime and manga if they do well in middle and high school.
>>290917794> anime is for children.Wrong. Watch more(start with Texhnolyze and maybe some Oshii and Kon stuff)
>>290917941Like the interpretation of the sea witch as a failed little mermaid, I'm sure that will get some mileage in the future
>>290917775Lucafag you are a creature to be studied
>>290918000Mari is a boy
Threadly reminder this was never advertised as yuri in Japan and "girl-meets-girl" is so innocuous that Toei uses it to describe entire seasons of Precure. You took the bait willingly.
>>290917977You know what, this shit was gorgeous
>>290918007Pretentious shit?
>>290917977why does anime not have bright colors like this anymore?
WHATISLOVE
I can't believe I fell for the yuribait, AGAIN.How do I cope, bros?
>>290918021And I'll do it again, and again, and again.
>>290917700>>290917909>muh adsEven if that was true, under the right director even ads can become art. RoV is a masterpiece.
>>290918000Could be worse, could be like Kimi wa Meido Sama in which the main girl's light is Katsu sauce
>>290917869Lara's light sparked when she said that. What do you mean it's not what she actually wanted when it represents what her heart wishes for?
I guess Luna really isn’t going to show up again before the end, huh?It seems like they probably intended her to be a major character when they were working on the first episode, though.
>>290917830Again, like I said, you can easily interpret Mari as being someone with a stronger, unique, possibly romantic bond with Lara. But ep 12 does not define it in line with the creators not wanting to create an explicit definition of true love. Unfortunately, the more I think about, having the only explicit demonstrations of true love being achieved being between a man and a woman in a romantic nature is a bit of writing flaw, though.
What is the thought process of screening the finale episode before anyone else can see it? Do they expect people to just not leak cause people are gonna say shit, that just how it is. Just seems pretty dumb
>>290917955won bigly is literally a schizo's catch phrase, anon.
Literally all you need to get people to believe shit on /a/ is by posting stuff in another language on another post board
Come home, yuriGODs.
>>290918028>likes literature, the epitome of pretentious shit>says thisLol and no Kon’s movies are pretty direct unless you are low iq.

>>290918115That's a boy too apparently
>>290918092Holy shit lmao
A thread full of people who don't read literature, watch cinema, watch independent animation/anime or anything that hasn't been subbed by CR arguing about what medium has the most worth and what's pretentious. Thread didn't stand a chance.

>>290918080The thought process is money
>I think the ending was great>/a/: trollYou just can't win with these people, man... What is wrong with the ending? It opens up the possibility of:Mari x LaraLara x LucaMari x LucaEveryone get the ship they want, you should be happy.

>>290917775I'm sorry, but Luca has been completely filtered out.

>>290918202Grace sort of turned into a male fish when she became Gon-chan. So Who knows?
Episode 3 ending going down in infamy
>>290917867if by recent you meant 25 years
>>290918255>implying the West is better at endings.
What if Lara just... moves out of Mari's house? She can't crash on Mari's couch her whole life. She also can't go anywhere far away because she has a job. Seeing how Lara, according to the leakers, doesn't say that she's moving away, it's a safer bet to assume she's simply moving out.
If anything from the Shiga tourism association is reading this, fund better shows.I liked Biwako when I went there, but I'm not coming back just for some lame "love all humanity" bullshit.
but did grace get to see the rest of the story...
>>290918262You must be fun at parties.>>290918265There you go, ship anyone you want.
>>290918266Thing is the show itself was putting ideas into our heads. Like I can look past everything until episode 10 with the Mari shot, genuinely they should’ve cut that out if we’re getting the end that we are
>>290918279There have been countless excellent books released this century alone
When the next girl-meets-girl original comes out, we all will return to being excited and expect actual, explicit yuri. Surely the nth time's the charm, right?
>>290918255Neither does the west, have you seen game of thrones?
Either the leak is fake and we get yurikinoor the leak is real and we get to witness xitter troons meltdown I'm fine with either.
>>290918271Both born girls mean yuri
>>290918237oh yeah the big market of people being miffed about 200 year tale they watched (because they didn't read it) while still a toddler
>>290918282She moves into her sister's house.
>yurifag loses>hetfag loses>everyone losesI’m genuinely laughing my fucking ass off right now
were grace's years with mari the best of her life
>title of she show is literally "Goodbye, Lara">noooo Lara leaving comes out of nowhereLmao
>>290918319already happened this yearalready wonstay mad
>>290918282Well the leaker said the train is going to a completely different city so
>>290918035City was literally last year
>>290918312nah, they are slop. the world ended after 9/11 and peaked in the 80s. you are too young to understand.
>>290918092>its a poochie moment
>>290918344He said it's going to Kobe.
>>290916908I can already guess who is behind this.
>>290918319jellyfish was yuri thoughbut it was just shit yuri
So why did Grace hair turn red?Heck, why are mermaids born with either blue or red hair?
>>290918332>Her window breaks
>all the japs saying it came together satisfying way>only a chink who probably can't understand japanese is giving his impressions with huge gaps The leaks are 90% fanfic at this point. They likely have truth to them sprinkled in but its framed by an unreliable narrator who can't explain dialogue besides "long lecture"
>>290917845Lisa didn't turn into foam in the leak. So I assume everyone survived.
>>290918358*90s
>>290918351So, nothing?
If this ends with Mari and Lara separate and no kiss westerners are gonna be very toxic
>>290918396cope
>>29091835890s kid who doesn't engage at all with culture pretending to know better. Tale as old as time.
>>290918396Ah yes the Japanese who are famous for having good taste when it comes to endings
>>290918341>inb4 Shitguya
>>290918339We thought she would say goodbye to her mermaid family...
>>290918380Luca won
>>290918375lmao I was just about the post this
>>290918396>all the japsall 2 twitter screencaps I guessgood on them to represent a whole nation by themselves
>>290917949I doubt that. All millennials have seen at least some anime growing up, especially toonami stuff, that had conclusive endings.
>>290918396Japs like shit endings because they themselves know they wouldn't be able to write anything better
>>290918380By the way, fagjimalucatrannys, how was this morning's bread?
>>290918378where's kobe here? It's near the bakery?
leave gay mermaids to the professionals
Seeing twitter full of people expecting the next episode to go full send on Mari and Lara being in love is kinda sad
Would anyone really spend tens of thousands of yen on a Blu-ray box just because the artwork looks good? Especially when Japan’s poverty rate has been rising and people are increasingly reluctant to spend money on expensive purchases.

>>290918396Says a lot about the state of, well, everything, that people would jump at the ONE chance to be negative instead of paying attention to all the other impressions.
>>290918339Without any setup? It does. Persona 4 ending is like that but you know from the start that the protagonist will leave the town at the end of the school year. With Lara you only have the title and nothing else, apparently not even the merfolk are saved

>>290918523The Japanese literally can't complain about if something is bad they will say it's good irregardlessly
Just binge-watched the entire show so far and couldn't see the so-called yuribait, if it's there then it's subtle compared to something like Hibike Euphonium
>>290918441that's not how inb4 works you absolute newfag.
>>290918523All the other impressions are just “it was good!” repeated over and over while the Chinese leaker provided some more nuanced responses to things

>>290918140It’s a female anglerfish, anon. Possibly a hermaphrodite, because female anglerfish can absorb the tiny males and gain a pair of balls in the process.
Judging by the leaks, Mari still shares her soul with Lara in the end, so shes really her true love.
>>290918504They will come up with a cope or harass the japs

>>290918598It's absolutely hilarious how you can tell the amount of tourists multiplied because they GOTTA see who "won". Shit is crazy.
>>290918594>animeI thought you weren’t an anime watcher. Hell if you also like movies, you should 100% watch Kon considering he has influenced live action directors.
I'm not reading this thread or any of these leaks, but this is the easiest layup ending of all time, right? Lara and Mari kiss, that magically gives Lara legs again, she says "sayonara" to her family and they walk off into the sunset. If that doesn't happen, what the fuck are we doing here?
>>290918710That's a nonsense ending kek, I still don't get why she leaves it like that
>>290918734Just take is as entertainment, most will leave today, tomorrow we can have actual discussions, it's comfier
I request the humble opinion about the leaks from someone who isn't invested in yuri or shipping.
>>290918652The Wire is from less than 20 years ago bro. Even then, contemporary shows like Sopranos and Mad Men were better. Even in the past 10 years something like The Terror or Barry gives it a run for its money, and this is just talking about western TV. Still a good show though.>>290918738I'm not the guy you were replying to initially, I'm just pushing back at the idea that modern stuff is inherently worse. Just a fundamentally incurious viewpoint by people who don't care to look beyond the surface.
I think people are missing the point with the Chinese leaker. Saying his explanation lacks nuance or enough detail doesn’t really matter if that’s the broad strokes of the episode. Regardless that means things are up to interpretation
Kobe Station is in the complete opposite direction from the route from Otsu to Anderken. I guess this really does mean they’re saying goodbye for good.
>>290918637Then she leaves for a cock carousel across japan lmao
>>290918750That's just the Disney ending with a more convoluted destination. Would that really be satisfying?
>>290918750You aren't thinking like a writer. You job is to not give fans what they think they want.
>>290918783I think the show handled the ‘true love is your own experience of life’ message well enough, but I think aspects of it do feel unsatisfying simply because they didn’t want to provide too clear of a definition for the love. I think the dissatisfaction comes from a lack of proper character conclusions versus a conclusion on the overall themes of the show.
>>290918823do they not have smartphones in Japan?
>>290918823The leaker didn't say she leaves to not going back, it meant to be only for a time.
>>290918783it just ain't good Michaelbro
>>290918796i said modern as in from the last 5 years.>the terroronly watched some of it but i doubt it reaches the highs of the wire or miami vice> Just a fundamentally incurious viewpoint by people who don't care to look beyond the surface.curious, what’s the best anime made in the last 5 years in your opinion?
fucking KINOthe finale has a very high bar to clear
>>290917140So Lara won't see the birth of Lisa's child at the end.
>>290918423And they will be right, genuine yuribaiting 101 when the series only showed straight couples (pending Kota's gender).
>>290918783I don't have much to say, good animation, mediocre story. It's another anime that I'll probably forget in a month.
>>290918396Bless you, anon, for being level-headed.
Japanese writers’ inability to write satisfying endings needs to be studied
>>290918873i hope you failed to mention some long dialogue that happens in the last episode cause this leak makes no sense
>>290917140great, no i have to avoid these threads until next weekfuck you all mongoloids
So, now that Sayonara Lara is confirmed to be a good show with a potentially lackluster final episode (still a good show though, fite me), what's gonna be the /u/ obsession for the next season? Any clues?
Honestly, this show has had its moments, but I’m really not sure about the finale. Grace’s story had all the ingredients for a genuinely emotional and meaningful arc, but I don’t think the writing quite gets it there. The characters like Rigmor and Rowan feel kinda cliché and flat to the point that some of the bigger emotional moments don’t land the way they should. And I know people don’t really give a shit on here, but what bothers me is how familiar the “give up your dreams and marry a man” storyline feels without saying anything interesting about it. The show seems to frame that choice through such an old-fashioned view of what a woman’s happiness is supposed to look like. And with so much media finally questioning the idea that romantic fulfillment has to follow this exact path, I expected more from this show since it has a strong undertone going against that. The potential was absolutely there. I just don’t think the writers knew what to do with it.
>>290918944> good animationMore like good character designs/ background art that are reminding us of the past
The meltdown will be big next sunday
why are you guys treating the leak as a fact?
>>290918975It's probably just that the Chink missed some details.
>>290919034> don’t really give a shit on here, but what bothers me is how familiar the “give up your dreams and marry a man” storyline feels without saying anything interesting about itTbh modern women tend to be unhappy. Feminism has destroyed their brains.
>>290919068I'm not
So why did Grace wake up Rowan with her last powers here? He wants the exact opposite of Grace.
>>290919033There's nothing /u/-related next season, fortunately
>>290919034>but what bothers me is how familiar the “give up your dreams and marry a man” storyline feels without saying anything interesting about itPart of Grace's "fuck the laws, live to love" to Lara and Mari is supposed to be addressing that, they're just going to go about it in the most nonsensical way possible instead of the obvious slam dunk in front of them.
We getting yuri ending or not?
>>290919084men are also unhappy sodon't say it's because of women unwilling to marry because I will fucking kill you
>>290919045we're in for a treat
>>290919068I'm not either. The fact that they will be spammed as gospel here for a week is annoying.
>>290919034The finale literally does the opposite by having Lara get happiness by not settling down and she will fuck others while travelling like all modern women
>>290918975I mean yes there’s dialogue but the whole sequence with Lara inside the dagger is very visually oriented for a climax
>>290917977absolutely kinema i love the art in this anime
>>290917728>love is the friends we made along the wayShittiest ending conceivable.
>>290917479>/a/ hates itJudging by how quickly the threads are moving, it doesn't look like it.
>>290919033There's nothing yuricore, unfortunately. But there's nothing for anyone else either.
>>290919128Yes and no, the yuri got confirmed, but they don't stay together.
>>290918710>>290918753>>290918828guarantee there won't be any dialogue leading up to the train scene because it would be wayy out of character
>>290919107Yes anon, I too slash people's face open when I want to wake them up.
>her sister dies because of her>her niece dies because of her>her country falls to ruin because of her>does fuck all but get cared forWtf, the evil witch was actually evil?
>>290919139Of course they are> don't say it's because of women unwilling to marry because It is at least one of the reasons and you know it’s true.> I will fucking kill youOh no :O
>>290919107She didn't. She was trying to shut him up because he was going to get in the way of the human/mermaid end she was holding on for.
>>290919033Nothing yuri happening next season except for maybe a dumb ship in apothecary diaries (I wouldn’t know I haven’t read the source) and a side couple in an anthology movie in November
So what does this mean for the other two times we have seen the rings glow?
>>290919213I LOVE GRACEI LOVE GRACEI LOVE GRACE
>>290919115>fortunatelyfaggot
Fuck Grace
>>290919167Looks a lot like one of the early promotional pictures for the show. Shit, I don't have it on hand, it's basically the same but with more of her face IIRC?

>>290919213She's based.Mermaid kingdom looks like a bunch of fags, if I found something more interesting to do I'd choose that as well.
/lara/GODS...we lost the hype train. it's over. anime failed
While most hardcore fans who attended the screening were likely ready to accept whatever conclusion came their way, the online community certainly isn't. Every single shipper out there is going to have a long list of grievances. At this point, you've almost gotta pity anyone who still naïvely believes we'll see a clear-cut romantic resolution.
>>290919226nah women don't make you happy cuz if you aren't happy with yourself then no will be happy with youit's a side effect not the cause and careful now you're in range of my blade
>>290919045>Luca got closer to kissing Lara than Mari ever didHow will yuritrannies overcome this #trufact?
Who even wins with this ending
>>290918944>I'll probably forget in a monthDefinitely not in my case. For me, this is gonna be on par with something like Apocalypse Hotel, I'll remember it fondly. The visuals were wonderful, the characters were great, and I enjoyed almost every episode. The last episode probably won't satisfy me as much as I'd wish, but that's fine. As a whole, this was probably the most worthwhile show of the season, and Mari's the best girl of the season.
>>290919254Cope, your fetish will always be a niche
>mermaids dont have sexits over...
Honestly if it really is gonna end with Lara saying goodbye then it's not the end of the world, people can move along in life but can still stay connected. This a cope on my end but I still quite enjoyed the show for the most part and as long as Luca doesn't win out of nowhere
>>290919227But he only woke up after she died, not before.
>>290919267Who?
>>290919299Mari didn't like Lara that way
>>290919166In what scene does this >>290917850 line happen and who says it?
>>290919304me, artchadwhile unwell mentally ill people discuss kids relationships
I mean it's not like Luca and Mari doesn't have Lara's phone number.
>>290919319Luca will win in the movie
>>290919271The thing is, and I say this fully knowing how pretentious it sounds, the acceptance level for certain aspects of storytelling are different in Japan vs the west. Like legitimately a vague, noncommittal ending works for them. Western stories almost always tend to be more explicit, and that’s why people were ravenous over the wishy-washy symbolism throughout the entire show
>>290919289> nah women don't make you happy cuz if you aren't happy with yourself then no will be happy with youThat’s true but younger generations interact way less nowadays. Back in the day were few came out of highschool as virgins while now it’s the norm.
>>290919267we flew a whole two threads so its definitely outpacing other threads. but the newest ep finished airing and people are just waking up to watch now.
>>290919344She likes her that way, that's why she was able to share her soul with her. That's the point.
>>290919262
>>290919267Kill yourself.
>>290919356As far as I can remember that isn’t said in the finale. Might’ve been a cut line at this point.
>>290919400That's the one, thank you.
>Lara leaves>Grace from fish heaven: "What the fuck? I was clearly telling them to smash clams."
>>290919381Just 2 more weeks.

Someone needs to do the edit
>lara doesnt go yuri>absolutely falls downbrutal
>>290919327She knew he was going to wake up because she was fading away and needed to keep him down somehow. It's why all the mermaids were supposed to be asleep.
>Kaguya's yuri was denied by the director>Lara's ended in nothingBad year for yuri originalsOh wait, that's just like every other year!
>>290919045The rainbow and pink/blue flag people are gonna hate this
>>290919184> But there's nothing for anyone else either.made in abyss, cyberpunk, GROTESQQQUE, vertex force
>>290919458Fish hell*
There wasn’t any spoiler about Mari and Lara sharing a soul, was there?
did you really think japanese tourism anime will be explicit yuri?
So the real answer wasn't het or yuri, but Lord Jesus Christ our Savior?
>>290919381>Show ends with Lara leaving>After credit scene>Lara will return in Hello LaraWould you clap?
>>290919507slop slop slop. i didn't think grotesqqque was airing. i'll watch the lesbian vampire part of .
>>290919488Total manime victory
>>290919484Could you post those icon pngs please kek
>>290919498Ehhh Kaguya is really a death of the author moment. The official spin-off manga has them calling each other “My Iroha” and “My Kaguya”
>>2909194982006
>>290919271From what I've seen of the RedNote users who've read the spoilers and watched Episode 11 now, a lot of the grievances are towards how flimsy the mystery of the "light" ended up being. It ended up being weirdly straightforward as romance between Rowan and Rigmor but for Lara it's a more of an ambiguous, all-encompassing thing when they could've just played it straight as a romance with Mari. Like in the end Lara wasn't even wrong for seeking out a Prince since the narrative showed it actually worked for her mom, the only reason why it didn't work for her is because the light apparently doesn't work the same exact way for each special princess.
Why are all the mermaids flat?
>>290919577Slop=something with no effort or passionI am sure the made in abyss movie will have passion put into it. Same as cyberpunk. Idk about the last one.
>>290919561Did you expect anything different? That was always the message of this fairytale
>>290919616They're fish, anon. Born from clams already grown up a bit. They don't need breasts to nurse.
>mari runs after the train and yells Sayonara, LaraWill you clap?
>>290919616You ever tried to swim underwater with two buoys strapped to your chest?
>>290919561Grace is pure sex. Easily sluttiest mermaid in the show
>>290919616they are born spontaneously from clams, they have no reason to nurse
>>290919595>The official spin-off manga has them calling each other “My Iroha” and “My Kaguya”So what ? I used to call my dog like this too.
>>290919660I'll clap Koide should I ever see him.
>>290919542Botan was tourism and it was yuri retardbro
>>290919609Precisely this is my gripe with the ending as I’ve thought more about it. The show does not do enough to reinforce the idea that true love is different for each person, every example before Lara is a straightforward romance. And Grace’s story doesn’t really explain what she did wrong either, other than she wasn’t ’strong enough’ to stop her lover from being eaten???
In defense of the shippers, the official Twitter is posting stuff like this. https://x.com/Goodbye_Lara/status/2097958259479232695/video/1?s=61
I almost died.ララ「薬飲んだら脚生えたわ！」グレイス「失言は命取りになるから舌切るぞｗ(原作ではそうなってるけどさよならララのストーリーの中では意味不明の行動)」ララ「ｸﾞｴｰ」ｼﾞｮｯｷﾝララ「泡になって消えるﾝｺﾞ･･･」グレイス「こいつ王子を殺さなかったぞ面白い」グレイス「復活させるついでに舌縫っとくか(意味不明)」
>>290919724Yup literally meant nothing Grace was just doing it for shits and giggles
>>290919616 I really like the theory that mermaids aren't mammals.
>>290917140fake and gay
What is a point of doing stuff like this to dismiss it completely an episode later?
I know I’m going to love Grace. She had an unfortunate fate, but deep down, she’s a good girl. I feel like she deserves her ending, but I still feel bad about it. Anyway, that was a good flashback episode.
>>290919714That's called engagement bait. Yurifags are the thirstiest people in a desert, they are always on beck and call.And until they understand what a standard is they will go every time.
>>290919789Again it doesn’t dismiss it per say but doesn’t explain any of it explicitly either
>>290919789It was not blatant yuribait, you just didn't understand it bro. :^)
>>290919227That was Lisa's bullshit interpretation of what happened.
>>290914404KEK
Now that the dust has settled.>Sayonara Lara>ChaO>Lu Over the Wall>Ponyo>The Little Mermaid (1989)Rank 'em
>>290919595didn't they learn from the meltdown over the adaptation artist and chose one that was already publishing yuri fanart
You're my true love, I like living with you and being around you, but lets seperate for now cause I want to find my true self by interacting with the world.Well this is a woman moment written by man.
Why didn't Mari have the name that references Jesus if she's the one that sacrificed herself and then was revived?
>>290919793She never did anything wrong even if she believes she did. "wow incredible Lala, you managed to kill yourself to save your prince, I bow to you the superior woman". Fuck this noise, if princes don't want to get eaten they can stop being assholes.
>>290919899correct
If they really wanted to show different sides of true love then this episode could've been perfect for that. Pretty much the same plot but the actual light would've been created by Rigmor's and Grace sisterly love. Instead it was more romantic love, as expected, but then they'll "subvert" it on the last episode
>>290919213GRACE DID NOTHING WRONG
This is the safest route the studio can take.Marifags can write all the fanfiction they want.Lucafags can too as well.Self-insert cringelords can also write in that they're now dating Lara.Y'all should be happy since everyone wins.
>>290919939This episode only set up a true love's kiss between Lara and Mari up to Grace's very last line. I think without the leaks that's what 90% of the thread would be expecting.
coping has hit the sayolara twitter community
>>290919871its literally what she says in episode 11?
>>290919267All numberfags should be executed.
>yurifags baited again
>>290919943It's a good thing she died. She made everyone suffer over a silly little dream.
>>290919981i still cannot believe that people really expected a kiss, it was never happening with mari or luca it's happening with lisa
>>290919981They're surprisingly calm. We'll see if that's just copium.
>>290919939It’s such an easy move to pull too. Had they just had ONE example of true love being found through something other than straightforward romance this ending would hit better
I told you, yuricucks.
>>290919936You’re right. She’s kind of the scapegoat villain of the show. The humans were the assholes all along. She deserves better.
>>290919979>Live to love>live to love>LIVE TO LOVEHow can you miss this messaging? Grace was basically telling her that love shouldn't be contained to one thing. Like the love of your sister/family. Love of friends. And the love of your offspring, or in this case your niece.
>>290920059>I told you, yuricucks.Not really, more like yurifags were saying from start this director is a faker.
>>290920038I think the departure ending coming out of nowhere will be the breaking point for a lot, especially if it implies the connection between Lara and Mari
>>290920090>director is a faker>continues to obsess over his shitWhat does that make you then?
>>290920012She's the reason Lara got to fall in love with humanity and Mari.Without transgressors society does not move foward. She sacrified herself for the greater plot.
>>290919724Oh wait this was Grace putting in the cut tongue with the sea foam. I was wondering what sea slug she was dropping in but that makes way more sense.
Go get your princess, Mari
>>290920151Go risk your life someone who will leave you later Mari
>>290919979Yeah, it's no wonder that the yurifags on Twitter are all over the moon because that's pretty much the only outcome being set up by the narrative
>>290920090>THIS will be the eternal cope for this seriesKEK
Why japanese can't commit to an ending?Just pick a side and make it happen than this vague shit.You as director wanted Lara x Luca? Then show it happening in epilogue.You wanted Mari x Lara? Show it too than this escape ending.Fucking cowards on all sides.
>>290920181Except they continue to gloss over the “live for love” message
>>290919936>>290920076But again, I think I cant fully justify what she’s been doing. I mean, she definitely did it with good intentions, but after her sister died, I feel like she became blinded by her ambition.
I'm fucking tired of SEAnigs and Indians, bros.
>>290920081How else am I suppossed to interpet it when it's presented like this >>290919789?
>>290920081it's exactly what she did all the anime until now?
>>290920090Archives exist bro...
>>290920090lolIf you actually believed that, Lara's threads wouldn't be so garbage since you'd fucked off weeks ago.
>>290920194Japan is very conservative anon. It takes a lot of balls from the studio and director to not vague end a show.
>>290920081That doesn't really reconcile with the gigantic light Lara's feeling for Mari has produced throughout the show. Banking the finale on a line said by the antagonist at the 11th hour generally isn't a smart idea.
>>290920220The conclusion is basically Lara needs to pick herself back up after every setback and continue living life. There is no conclusion regarding romantic love or humans accepting mermaids. It’s all nonsense
>>290920168You wanted them to share the twin mattress? Lara got her own place but they're dating.
Does anyone have a screenshot of the Chinese spoiler post?
>>290919248Anybody here shipping Grace with Rigmor? I can't be the only one.
>>290920194>>290920266Why can't yurifags watch or read actually yuri series?
>>290919381>Luca will win in the movieOnly if it's base on in the concept trailer.
>>290920278this is my last cope
>yuri confirmed>/a/ ignores it because they're not slamming clams
>>290920291Lara is a prestige anime series, most yuri anime is lower tier.
>>290920266>It takes a lot of balls from the studio and director to not vague end a show.It doesnt reallyI know you're a newfag but there are yuri shows out there, it's not forbidden.
RIP in peace Lace and Ligma
>>290920194>>290920266Watch more anime. Really. Also Luca would have never been the end, he was mostly an unimportant character
>>290919789Grace believe that Mari will guide Lara to find true love.
>>290920268Because the truth is that Grace had no idea what the fuck was going on and just wanted to put her niece’s life on the line to see if she could live on the surface world. She’s as clueless as the writers themselves
>>290920318>Grace will never be your sisterWhy bother...
If you're gonna shitpost, at least try using images from the show this thread is about.
God damn it, you children are insufferable. You got swept up in your own hype, everyone knew this is a story about "all kinds of love" since we saw the opening for the first time. The overall message was incredibly transparent.However, this is still undeniably yuri. We have already confirmed who Lara's true love is. Episode 12 will not deny it either; we know that much even from these spoilers. Luca lost completely because he gets literally no screen time, and his big confession scene went down as smoothly as a tapeworm. Sayonara Lara is not modern romance yuri like Watanare, but it definitely counts as traditional yuri like Utena.
>>290920287I have been shipping them since they were first shown in the op.

>>290920081What about all the times we saw Lara's light, which showed what her heart desired through the whole show? Yeah, love doesn't need to be bound to a single thing but Lara's heart went all in on Mari and nothing else. Now we saw her mother being able to create the light through romantic love too
>>290920358They don't watch the show
>>290920319>most yuri anime is lower tier.Because yurifags don't watch yuri anime>>290920403Not your boogeyman
>>290920367Yuri victory is when there is no romantic confirmation and one of the main pair leaves the other for no reason other than vague “experiencing the world” BS
>>290920268>>290920422The light doesn't mean anything anon, it's just used to transition between scenes.
>>290920389Yeah, as proper yurifag I posted it there.
>>290920367Cope and sneed.
>>290920395I don't care, what makes it prestige is the animation team, the sakuga, the voice actors, etc.Even if the end is subpar it will not change that fact.
>>290920367Retards like you are why yurifags have to put up with this shit.
>>290920440/u/'s standards are the lowest tier imaginable. Please understand.
>>290920407Utena TV, obviously. I doubt it'll get a movie.>>290920440Watch the original Nanoha, and tell me how it ends.
>>290920382This is highkey why Lara has to suddenly leave.
>>290920458Idk I generally value good writing over most things
>>290920382Lisa will probably fake papers for her like she has been doing for herself and Kota for 100 years.
>>290920367>We have already confirmed who Lara's true love is.We know It's her love for humanity.
>>290920482>tfw Lara has to leave due to sansaito ruleskek
>>290920491Same, this anime has too many holes to be a prepared and overly analyzed project in the making.
>>290920226The internetz can still be a place for hobbyists and fans to talk about the things they like. Don't lose hope over the rabble anon
>>290920403He really is a sad little guy. He probably spends more time shitposting than watching anime, kek.
They kiss while falling from the sky. And if there's no kiss in the show there's guaranteed one in the movie just like Utena
>>290920395Grace says in her backstory this episode that humans only value words and her human lover accused her of trying to deceive him when she attempted to explain herself. She cut Lara's tongue to try and prevent her from making the same mistake. It didn't do shit so it was pointless, yeah, but there was an attempt at establishing a reason.
So is there an actual confirmed source for any of these spoilers or is this the beginning of doom posting week over made up shit?
So who won? Who lost? Whom did Lara finally fuck?
>>290920476It ends with a separation but for good reason. Everyone who’s commented on the episode 12 ending has stated it comes out of nowhere
>>290920491What I am saying is that this series is clearly a heavy investment and meant to be of a higher quality.We don't know yet if the writting of the last ep will elevate it or break it all down.But clearly the team and producers behind it invested a lot in it.
>>290920367>this is a story about "all kinds of love"The only type of love that has gotten actual meaningful focus has been romantic. We just had an episode with two different romantic relationships, one of which was able to save the merfolk kingdom
So if the mermaids get rejected for any reason they fucking kill you?
>>290920527yurifags got baited again
>>290920523nips on twitter are taking them as true, no one is denying them. it's over
>>290920527WANDERLUSTCHADS WON
>>290920541Mermaids so live in a society I guess.
>>290920494That was believable in Lisa's era, not anymore. She isn't even a governtment worker or anything
>>290920541If their love is true and reciprocated then it brings light to the mermaids. If it is not true love then the mermaids will kill to steal the soul and become a sea witch.
serve yurifags right for ruining yet another seasonal thread with their bullshiti will never forgive you subhumans for ruri rocks and this
If you truly love someone you should let them go.Strange message.
>>290920527Luca was just a stepping stone to true love between Lara and Mari
>>290920531>It ends with a separation but for good reason.>but for good reasonIt was not a good reason.It's just the fact that traditional yuri often ends in some kind of separation, but unlike the dark age of yuri, the kind of yuri Lara takes inspiration from prefers leaving everything as an open-ended "They will see each other again".
>>290920538There was so many opportunities for them to explore relationships beyond het romantic ones, but they never do.
>>290920283I saved
>>290920382she's got 90 days visa-free as a really really old Danish citizen
>>290920614Watch your second anime yurisubhuman
>>290920527Who won? I didWho lost?IndiansWhom did Lara finally fuck?Besides that fish plush and a barrel of baumkuchen its Mari
What happened to my boywife Luca?
>>290920612Ahh yes perfect, it’s like a callback to class S where the female-female relationship is super strong, but ultimately has to be left behind so the woman can go out and find a good man. Bravo for the modern story Koide-sama
>>290920598That barely aligns with what apparently happens in Episode 12.
Superfriendship wins again
>>290920567Nips seems to think that this opens up a possibility for an OVA conclusion. That being said they said the same thing about GLT(doubt anyone here ever heard of this show sadly) and an OVA nver materialized.
>>290920606>i will never forgive you subhumans for ruri rocks and thisFuck off RR show is comfy show which can have yuri shipping in it which doesn't harm anyone, author agreed.
4 het couples btw
>>290920448>The light doesn't mean anythingThis is the most retarded explanation you could've come with when the script is repeating "hikari" like a dozen times in the last episodes
>>290920519I would be satisfied with a separation ending if there was at least a goodbye kiss.
>>290920635>Who lost?>IndiansTrue, they got yuribaited again
>>290920639Team Luca has disbanded. See you in the next anime original.
Not a yurifag or anti-yurifag, I just want a good romance anime for once. God fucking damn it friendship endings are always the most coward shit. We're really never getting a romance anime to rival Kare Kano, are we?
>>290920382It's only getting in the country that's hard. Once you're in people just assume you're legit.
>>290920661There is no and will never be yuri n RR, but thanks for proving my point subhuman
I like how the hetcucks are pretending they won when Their Boy ended up alone, unloved, and forgotten.
Did Yoshiya find love?
>!does this means all mermaids are related to each other?!<
>>290920621Thank you!
>>290920686idgaf about luca x lara. i just want to fuck his bussy
>>290920714Hetchads told you this was going to be a friendship ending and yurifags got baited againYou dilated for weeks spamming about muh subtext
>>290920712Yes anon posting retarded posts about the girls wanting shotas or ugly faceless men for no real reason is so much better, Mr Retardo.
I can now safely say that the witch and Lara deserve the fucking rope
>>290920661Author is a shotachad tho
>>290920715don't worry,he has free gyūdon for life at Yoshinoya
>>290920595She can't be pretending to be over 100 years old so that means she has had some way to get new younger identity later.
>>290920765>shotaAuthor is into themAre the ugly faceless men in the room right now?
>>290920395Poor Lala, everyone else was allowed to take the potion without losing their tongue
>>290920649It makes zero sense as we see it now. They supposedly fit perfectly together narrative wise. I really don't think the leaks make much sense as is.
>>290920358
>>290919693I thought Botan was alcoholism made palatable by anime tiddies.
>>290920756>Hetchads told you this was going to be a friendship ending and yurifags got baited againIf you actually checked archives hetfags were saying that Luca will win and OP date picture gonna show up in epilogue montage or that we gonna see Luca x Lara kids in it.
ToT
>>290918783Mediocre is the word i would use. The cast was boring, Mari is a nothing character with the personality of someone with serious autism. Lara acts like a typical shoujo lead, but her drama is infuriating. Luca is... just pure autism. The fact that he didn't turn out to be some sort of ghost weird like creature is still hilarious due to the way he was written. Overall, the story was a bore, and the OG one is better by miles. Animation, character acting, direction, and art style, however, were superb. No complaints there
>>290920648Well, that's traditional yuri, yes. Again, romantic yuri with kisses and sex is incredibly new, it only became a thing in the 2000s. And Lara was definitely never going in that direction.I would suggest simply using your imagination. That's how we always did it. Lara is not leaving Mari. They will see each other soon, and their love will bloom forever.
>>290920675It’s true though, the light is literally up to interpretation and whatever the princess who generates it wants it to be
>>290920791I get the feeling that aspect and Kota's gender just weren't thought through.
>>290920739The chinese leaks said nothing about him.
>>290920827>yuri is when there's no romance
>>290920816>One anon shitpostingFriendship ending was always obvious
>>290920817the kids are so cute in this show. Wish they animated the shots of grace and rigmor
>>290920804God it’s sad, I really feel bad for them
>>290920804Justified spergout next week, I hope the chinks deliver cow shit at Kinema Citrus' address too.
>>290920800>Author is into themAnd you lost the argument, cause author is also into yuri as much he is into /ss/ stuff seeing his seperate doujin works.So by your own logic RR can be a yuri show too.You lost.
>>290919891It seems mermaid media is pretty good on average, except ChaO
>>290920804did you really make a compilation of tweets of literalwhos
>>290917238Yeah. Should have claimed her from the start
Imagine if there weren't any leaks for Episode 12. Expectations would be way higher (especially for something to happen between Lara and Mari) and people would be way more disappointed with the ending.
>>290920804keep doing it the collage anon, we are in for another anal devastation.
>>290920816>If you actually checked archivesI don't need to, i was in the threads seeing your low quality posts about how you saw in xitter that there's muh subtext and yuri would win and, and i quote, ''homophobic japanese otaku'' don't matter
>>290920887Sure but I would have had a beautiful week with hope in my heart.
>>290920859>Friendship ending was always obviousI saw you guys posting something else during episodes 7-9.
>>290920887This, the meltdown would have been much worse
>>290920827>only been a thing since the early 2000sSo the last quarter of century? My guy yes standards have changed in this regard, of course they have. Why is it unreasonable to expect a modern rendition of this type of thing? Honestly, having the show be a visual callback to that era would make you think more that it’s going to subvert those tired tropes
I don't get why you'd make a show like this just to go for the weakest ending possible. You're just asking for it to be forgotten by the annals of time. All the amazing production values poured into this show down the drain just because of this coward shit.
>>290920875RR is not a yuri nor a shotacon showIt's a show about cute girls talking about rocks. There is no romance in Ruri Rocks. /ss/fags existed but they were never as annoying as the yurifags like you that plagued the threads and unironically spammed how it would be a yuri anime in two more weeks
>>290920804Oof
Media literacy bros... were we just schizos?
>>290920775What's funny is that the rules permeated every facet of the human world, and human women of the time, especially, enjoyed less freedom compared to mermaids. Grace was completely misguided and plain wrong.
>>290920675>show ended with the light and ring meaning fucking nothingYes, anon is the light in the room with you now?
I still find the idea that the survival of the entire race depends on a girl's hormones just terrifying.
>>290920843Thinking that yuri can only be pure romance is the mistake Westerners always make. Again, Nanoha is one of the most fundamental yuri works; does it have kissing or sex? Hell, does Symphogear have Hibiki ever go full romantic with Miku?This is why I know you're young. You're spoiled by shows like Watanare, and you don't know how to appreciate more subtle romance.
>>290920938Like I said shut it. Yurifags have right to enjoiy RR as much as fags like you can, if you cant handle it, go post about it somewhere else.
This show always felt extremely toothless, I'm honestly not surprised it went this route at all.
>>290920804Kek, what a BITCH>>290920863lol, faggot
Lara is a disgusting bislut who becomes a ""lesbian"" only after riding the cock carousel
>>290920943Absolutely and I'm so fucking glad every one projecting their coming out experience on to this was annihilated.
When was the last time /a/ had threads this bad?
>>290920934Literally an explicit yuri ending would’ve cemented this show in people’s minds far more than the same rehashed safe ending that has been echoed by the majority of similar stories
>>290920887I think most people would agree that what's expressed in those tweets seems to be the direction the show is heading rather than what we're actually getting. Keeping expectations low (in absence of leaks) would be born out of the meta knowledge that anime originals always manage to fumble the ending rather than what's been in the show up to this point.
>>290920943People overthink anime way too much
>>290920943I remember that faggot kek >>290920983Yurifags didn't ''enjoy'' RR, they thought it would be yuri show and latched into it like cancer. No yurikek talks bout RR anymore because it was never yuri
>>290920704> We're really never getting a romance anime to rival Kare Kano, are we?Simoun
I'm gonna post on oficial x channel next week that I'm completely disappoitned with the coward ending than giving us actual Mari x Lara romance, but I know they gonna ignore me like I asked if Kota is a female cause he is based on female anglerfish.
>>290920967I don’t care if you wanna use the Japanese definition of yuri or whatever. Lara leaving Mari behind is dumb no matter how you classify their relationship.
>>290920704Mari literally got abandoned for no reason. That cant even be called friendship
>>290920938>unironically spammed how it would be a yuri anime in two more weeksAs a yurifag who watched Ruri when it aired, no one spammed anything close to that. Everyone just appreciated the show for what it is.
>>290916791She might genuinely be my favourite character of the season.
>>290921030>Yurifags didn't ''enjoy'' RR, they thought it would be yuri show and latched into it like cancer. No yurikek talks bout RR anymore because it was never yuriNobody talks about it anyway, I see threads which are just creepy shitshows, there's zero discussion in it about actual manga or rocks.
>>290920826>Zenshufag
>>290920997Idk but I can tell you Gwitch threads were this bad from the beginning
>>290920943>Mari is shown to be Lara's true love every episode, it will also be shown in the final episode>every depiction of true love that generates the light has been romantic>"You know what, my superfriend? My true love is fucking around away from you so I'm leaving. :)"I should start watching anime with my eyes and years closed and my brain turned off, sounds like a more efficient investment.
I'll take my doomed yuri incest.
Oh man, I'm having flashbacks of "author very obviously changed the ending he was setting up at the last minute" again
>>290920804The upper 5 seem harmless and I have some compassion for them, danceonth3moon should be thrown into a pit of molten lava however.
I love how uppity they get before the episode airs and then they scatter like roaches when it doesn't pan out....I like to imagine them in their slums.....angrily looking at their chinkdroid phones.....desperately scrolling, refreshing.....their ugly brown thumbs shaking as they try to find another unrelated reaction image to post.....
>>290920934There are plenty of old 90s ovas with garbage plots but cool animation that are still remembered
>>290921048AAAAEEEEERUUUUUUUUU
>>290921118You never watched a single Gundam show in your life, saar
>>290921145It really does feel like there was two separate visions of the ending sewn together lol
>>290921184but enough about you brownbro
>>290921133Your interpretation might not be in line with the director's vision.You should just accept what you see and wait for the ending without speculating too much, lest you get disappointed
>>290921203Why japanese do this?
>no umoot should have ranged banned south asia
Lara is one of those typical male obsessed fakebians who pretend to be lesbians after getting their hearts broken by Chad, only to hop back onto the nearest cock at the slightest inconvenience.
>>290921145But Isayama said he regrets parts of what he wrote.
I had my expectations low for the ending but it’s hard to believe they went for the soul-searching timeskipslop for this one
>>290921030wtf are you talking about. I thought the amount of shipping was pretty restrained considering the author had done actual yuri works before, those threads were chill. You even had a few anons going and actually sharing albums of their rock collections and stuff
Getting flashbacks of that Jellyfish anime. People were so sure about a strong yuri delivery after that cheek kiss.Nope, safe friendship ending.
>>290920943Either we were all schizos or the director/writer/studio shat the bed. Your pick
>anime doesn't have the state-mandated queer couple, therefore it's shitDid the author actually say this was a lesbian show? Or are you just mad that you can't watch two chicks scissor?
>>290920704Uhm Idk Basilisk? Pretty good rendition of a Romeo and Juliet like story
>>290921118They were trying to infest the Gquuuux threads as well until Shuji showed up.
Speaking of which, what happened to that hardcore Luca/Lara shipper who went to the screening?
>>290920523>an actual confirmed sourceThere's one Chinese guy, that's it.
>Anime is called "Goodbye, Lara".>Anime ends with Lara leaving.>/a/ gets mad. Always remember this ONE TRUTH: Japan doesn't do symbolism.It's never deep. It's never complex. The simplest explanation is exactly what will happen because the rice-addled brains of the Japanese wouldn't understand it otherwise.
>>290919213those dick sucking lips though
>>290921245I believe you might be replying to someone severely mentally ill.
Lara hates transbians btw
>>290921236All lesbians can be conquered by cock
>>290921264Probably committed sudoku.
>>290921264They haven't said anything.
>>290920804>bold statement against the patriarchy and homophobic society uhh do these people not know that 99% of the staff involved in it are homophobic
>>290921247At least Jellyfish turned to shit for the last four episodes so people were already in the acceptance stage when the second-to-last episode was wasted on Kiui's gender dysphoria. This ending is going to hit unspoiled people like a freight train.
I don't even know what is going on in this thread, goodbye
>>290921247The only shows that are sure bets for yuri has the 'Girls Love' or 'Yuri' tags. Even G-Witch had the 'yuri' tag, this show and Jellyfish never had the tag.
>>290921245There's no point in engaging the spambot, anon. He wasn't there. He is delusional enough to make a fanfic version of history so he could troll indefinitely.
>>290921151honestly? mods should just rangeban all non-firstworld countries, at least for a month
>>290921296Based.>>290921304Tranny.
>>290921282> Japan doesn't do symbolism.But they do? Most of Konata’s works including Lain and Texh do symbolism. Watch more anime. Hell fucking read Tezuka’s works.
>>290921145When people started posting collages of LaraMari moments, I immediately thought of ErenHisufags.
>>290921289>clit sucking lipsFTFY
>>290921337You would lose 60% of 4chan posters that way.
Looking into the staff for this I've found that the person responsible for series composition only just recently got into writing for anime and is more experienced writing for J-Dramas.
>>290921282What part of "the problem isn't that she leaves but how it happens" can't you understand
>>290921374Grace had a flashback of LaraMari moments this episode. According to the leak Lara will have one next episode.
I know people here dont care much about Luca, but the way she treated him and played with his genuine feelings is awful as well
>>290920934this anime will remain eternal for people complaining about modern anime/manga having shit art styles. this will get used as a counter example
>>290921337>mods should just rangeban all non-firstworld countriesThey can't since losing US traffic would be catastrophic
Sad I missed the last ep and in turn the opportunity to post a Killing Bites catchphrase.
>>290921282It's not that they don't do symbolism, they just contradict themselves often because they use it more as an aesthetic than a thematic signpost.
>>290921294>>290921335Oh my bad. Replying to a schizo in one of these threads is like finding a needle in a needlestack
>>290920934Media promoting homosexuality in an age of collapsing fertility will not be looked on kindly by future generations, so if anything, shying away from going full yuri gives Lara a fighting chance to stand the test of time.
>>290921394>60℅More like 80℅.
>>290921133> You know what, my superfriendAcooeding to the leaks she sees her as love. I know the ending is shit but a lot of older aniem/manga had the trope of a lover leaving the other one to travel, usually with straight couples
This show was always style over substance
Mari will LIVE for our sins
I think this show is nice.
>>290921096>Nobody talks about it anyway>I see threadsKek>which are just creepy shitshowsWhat are ''creepy shitshows'', yuriredditor?>>290921245>wtf are you talking aboutThe yurifags that claimed RR to be a yuri anime and how yurifags will do anything but watch actual yuri anime
>>290921472We know it's not going to confirm their relationship status so they're superfriends.
>>290921296BASED
>>290921264Her final verdict was "I have watched episode 11 and 12," look it up in one of the previous threads from today.
>>290921446There are times where they don’t contradict themselves and desu the west sucks at sumbolism as well.
Where exactly did all the good anime original writers go? Or even just ones that'd give us something exciting. Say what you will about writers like Urobuchi or Mari Okada but at least when they crashed they crashed hard, this is just such a bland cowardly way to go out.
>>290921506Then why are you talking like a tranny?
I love how Grace just finds the potion in some vault somewhere it’s never explained lmao
>>290921282>Always remember this ONE TRUTH: Japan doesn't do symbolism.Sweety, you're just a homophobic otaku that lacks media literacy
>>290921545They are still here, Mari okada literally made some shit 1 year ago
>>290921545Even some OG good ones turned to shit with age, Watanabe went from Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo to Carole & Tuesday and Lazarus.
>>290921282>>290921446There'a a difference between symbolism and untreated mental illness. If you need to microanalyze every detail scene by scene, then you're not engaging with the narrative or intentional symbolism.
>>290921403The lesson here is, never trust merfolk
>>290921506Straight men too love it, love to stroke it, suck it and eat sperm and get fucked by it.
>>290921337A month with almost no yurifags on the site would be a dream
>>290921555Do trannies claim that? Well all trannies should rope imo but it won’t change the truth. All lesbians can be defeated by cock.
>>290921545Homogenization due to the need to appeal to general audiences
>>290921506>Lesbians love cockThis is quite literally a typical sexual fantasy that trannies have, anon. Not a good look at all.
>>290921579Episode 6 shows that it's made of the mermaids' light so I don't think it really needed more explaining, easy to assume a past princess similar to Grace distilled it.
>>290921619>A month with almost no yurifags on the site would be a dreamI would want to have at least 1 week without antiyurifag present aka Majimafag/Guelfag or any other identity he goes by.
>>290921640Read >>290921622>>290921615Nice projection faggot
>Mari needs someone who will stand alongside her>Finds someone who will stand halfway across Japan from herWhat did they mean by this?
>>290921247lmao jellyfish also baited yuritards?i remember them being super annoying about that one too>>290921258No, the author never said anything like that. Yurifags just got baited by a mistranslated western-only interview
>>290921394quality over quantity lets be so fr this place tanked as the hordes acquired access and 4chan lost revenue too
>>290921658literally who
>>290921624If Sayonara Lara wanted to appeal to general audiences it would have been a battle shonen with a mermaid theme. Also Mari okada always appealed to the general audiences, same as the butcher.
>>290921619I was talking about you though
>>290921622>Do trannies claim that? Yes you do. You are obsessed with dicks and always refer to yours as your "girldick." You fuckers have ruined yuri communities.
>>290919724Grace is the worst character in the series. Her actions basically make no sense.
>>290921671You are mightily cocky for someone who hasn't even seen the finale yet and is putting his trust in chinese gossip.
>>290921686>lets be so fr>>290921717But i'm not a third world yurifag
>>290918617The way everything is drawn differently in Grace's flashback on land feels nice.
People are saying the “Live for love, not for the laws” line is a critique on Japanese gay marriage policy lmaooo you guys wish it was
>>290921733Lol I find that funny but don’t get me wrong, I don’t dislike yuri. I am just claiming the truth about real life lesbians.
>>290921733>You fuckers have ruined yuri communitiesThat was just yurifags>>290921615Ok...
>>290921619>ESceLs refuse to go to sites ran by their own countries and come to English-speaking ones onlyUnless your shithole can't even develop websites for you to shitpost on
It's good /a/ is getting its meltdown out of the way early.that way the threads next week will be beter.
So all this time writing>animation ? Well redline and ninja scroll bros lost I guess
>>290921640Pretty sure trannies rip their cock out>>290921802But i agree with your proposal to nuke ESLs...
>>290921814Gonna be worse if the ending is what’s been describedActually Tuesday should be fun too if the PV is accurate to leaks
Anyone smart would have avoided this place like the plague for the final episodes. Especially after the catastrophic idea of doing advanced screenings
>>290921785Even if you don't want to see any real life parallel in it, the most direct way of taking it is Grace telling Lara to follow her true love without being shackled to the laws Rowan created. Said true love is supposed to be Mari, who happens to be a girl.
>>290921746Is this really the cope you will go with??
>>290921841>funYou have a strange definition of "fun", anon
>>290921655Episode 10 showed the same shot of the potion being analyzed by the researcher as Luca saw the flower transforming into a frog... Very weird callback to make when the next episode reveals that the potion came out of nowhere. Also interesting how Kota went out of his way to get a read of Grace's biology, turning out she wasn't even a mermaid or human anymore, which really didn't matter either
>>290921787That's just a "truth" that trannies like you like to repeat over and over.>>290921789Yurifags are no where near as bad as trannies. They at least like to keep things yuri.
>>290921854I’m sure they made a good chunk of change doing that so they got what they wanted
>>290921835Still a common tranny fetish thoughever
>>290921802Japan can't even develop their own sites anymore. If it's not a legacy site that could go tits up at a moment's notice, they're on silicon valley honeypots. The last major thing they have is Line.
>>290921864>the yuritard is doing the tumblr media literally bit again>>290921887>Yurifags are no where near as bad as trannies. They at least like to keep things yuri.Tomato tomato, buddy>>290921896Trannies hate males, like yurifags
>>290921864Except according to the leaks we will never learn if Mari is actually her true love
X will have one of the biggest meltdown in the history next week.
>>290921655>>290921881The whole research subplot seems pretty damn pointless now
>>290921881>Episode 10 showed the same shot of the potion being analyzed by the researcher as Luca saw the flower transforming into a frog... Very weird callback to make when the next episode reveals that the potion came out of nowhereConsistent with the property of the mermaid's light being able to transform life into something else. Flower to frog, mermaid to human.>Also interesting how Kota went out of his way to get a read of Grace's biology, turning out she wasn't even a mermaid or human anymore, which really didn't matter eitherYeah, I got nothing on that. Just a convoluted way to foreshadow her transforming five minutes later.
>>290921938Still a tranny fetishReply more
If the leaks are real then1.) Why does Rowan want Lara to turn into another sea witch?2.) Why does Mari get stabbed? That seems to happen when love is rejected but Mari would certainly not reject Lara. Is the writing really that bad?
the "leaker" said nothing about the cake
>>290921887>n-no youBoring. I am a man and I hate trannies and lesbians do get addicted to cock. Cope.
>>290921998How is wanting to have sex with girls a tranny fetish?
>>290921942>we will never learn if Mari is actually her true love We actually do, it's kind of confirmed she is
>>290921733Half the yurifags I come across are men larping as women and it's so strange
>>290921900Japan wasnt able to develop software at any point. They can only manufacture quality hardware. Their culture makes software development so torturous to the point they can barely maintain simple websites.
>>290921999The leaks aren't real but hitshitters will roll with them for a week anyway. It's their last line of defence before their cope crumbles apart.
>>290922017It's true, lesbians are not even real>>290921733Mate, anons on /u/ and the yuri general on /a/ literally call themselves ''sisters'' unironically
>>290921942I mean based on what we've seen so far. That's why people are getting their hopes up so much about Grace's final line, you don't have to do any mental gymnastics to think she's telling Lara and Mari to love each other without caring about Rowan's laws. The show shitting itself to make it ambiguous is the unforeseen result.
>>290921999leaks are fake and mari getting stabbed is lowhanging fruit.
>>290921835>rip their cock outOnly like 10%. The vast majority don't.>>290921938>Tomato tomato, buddyHuh? Yurifags don't want dicks in yuri, trannies do. Your response makes no sense.
>>290922050>The leaks aren't real>>290922072>leaks are fakeHoly copium
>>290922017>I hate trannies but I have a niche fetish common among tranniesKEK
>live not for rules, but for loveobvious metaphor that grace should have gone for her sister or for her brother in law instead
>>290921974>chinkUh oh
>>290922090>Yurifags don't want dicks in yuri, trannies doThis doesn't make sense, trannies literally rip their cocks out because they are so disgusted by it and want to be girls
Koide knew that no one would watch a show about female friendship so he tore up the script so that schizos would stay engaged and hallucinate an entire romance subplot.
I'm really excited for next week. The yurifags that went to the screening were just chanting THANK YOU THANK YOU I'M SO GLAD SAYOLARA CAME INTO MY LIFE.It's going to be a complete masterpiece
>>290922093You and your ilk have been getting BTFO 11 weeks in a row. All credible accounts of the screening suggest that this streak will not end next week. Prepare your anus.
>>290922017>fake quoting n-no youI'm not wrong. You might deny being a tranny, but you sure do act like one.
>>290922162>You and your ilk have been getting BTFO 11 weeks in a rowAnon, every time a new episode comes out it gets proved how it will be a friendship yuribaitHow am i getting BTFO? Last episode literally leaked too
>>290922166>>290922094Making lesbians straight is older than trannies. Keep coping.
>>290922125But that doesn't make them female lol
>>290922125>rip their cocks outOnce again. Only 10% do. The rest are obsessed with them.
>>290922205Never said it did, just proving your retardation on how trannies have a fetish for straight sex wrong
>>290921999> Why does Mari get stabbed? That seems to happen when love is rejected but Mari You should have asked that when the spoileranon was still here not now, you retard
>>290922093what do you like about this show?
>>290922012The cake represents the dream of fulfillment and a perfect ending (yuri). We're never getting the cake.
>>290921881Speaking of, how did Grace even made more potions and why couldn't she make them anymore? That was one of the biggest conflicts of the show because without them Lara would turn into foam after a set amount of time yet we just discovered that Grace found the first potion sitting on a vault
>>290922204Whatever you say, "Lilith".
>>290922050You got one guy who posted something that will not be able to be verified for a few days at least, went poof, and everyone is eating it up. I mean really?
>>290921999I feel like the writing may genuinely just shit the bed because the Mari stab scene genuinely makes no sense in all the context we have right now.
>>290921739She is just a Bitch
>>290922012Do you actually believe it will timeskip to Mari being the world champion in women's boxing?
>>290922236Not my fault I wasn’t here lmao.
>>290922240Fuck you GLaDOS.
>>290922241Idk if Grace knows how to make them
>>290922238The girls, they are hot>>290922243Why would a tranny want to make a lesbian straight when they think they are women?
>>290920606Sayolara threads could've been really comfy if it wasn't for rabid yurifags. But the director does share a good chunk of the blame for laying down the bait that attracted the menace in the first place.
>>290922296Then why are you excited for the show to end in a lackluster manner?
>>290921999The leaks and the context of them feel too detailed to be a total farse, unless that guy created this incredibly elaborate story that also somehow doesn’t negate other’s reactions. But the fact no one has denied them is pretty telling.The actual content of the leaks is kinda ass though. Like even beyond implicit LaraMari, a lot of it simply doesn’t make sense even if they were going for a more general understanding of love
>>290922354The leaks sound like they're following up a version of the rest of the show that's not the one that aired.
>>290922349NTA but that ending is in line with my expectations for the show. It was a lot of flair with weak writing.
>AOTY ruined because of a bad endingIs this Wonder Egg all over again?
>>290922414WEP went to shit as soon as they introduced all the retarded technobabble.
>>290922414Egg was never good
>>290922241Either she didn't actually make then and just found more at where she got the first one from or making them required the light and when the light went dead she lost the ability to make more.
>>290922296Because they self-insert as the lesbians. Don't ask me to make sense out of it because I don't get it myself. Trannies are just really weird porn addicts in general.
>>290922390>>290922398I think it could be a case of weak writing but Mari getting stabbed for no reason would be legitimately horrendous writing. There’s either gotta be a huge chunk of context missing or a genuine failure
>>290922414Wonder egg didn’t have 90% of the episodes be good or used a retro art style
Someone brought this up but until now all the rulers are mermen while the burden of upholding the light and continuing to produce light for the merpeople rests solely on the princesses. The show really leans into the themes of rigid conformity (a deathly habit within japanese society) and assigning both the blame and the weight of the future on the female half of the species.
>>290922354>no one has denied themIt's on a Chinese board that only the most desperate of anons will find, why would Japanese viewers from the event even stumble across it? Now if a Japanese account had posted it and no one had denied anything I'd say yeah okay, it's damning.
>>290922442Egg was way better than this
>>290922349>Then why are you excited for the show to end in a lackluster manner?I want the show to end in a lacklust manner just because i never fell for the yuritard headcanon?
>>290922414Nahh Half of the episodes are kind of mid
>>290922562why'd you bring up yuri I didnt mention it
>>290922496I don't see an alternative being presented though, more like an inevitability like the females of every species being the ones who create life. It doesn't seem like the show has been pushing Lara to just abandon her responsibility either, it is a matter of fact that her family and species' survival depends on her.
>>290922447Hetrannys do it all the time, but the MC they chose to self-insert as was a total loser.
What is 2ch saying about the leaks? Are they even aware of what the chinks are claiming? Pretty sus that shitposters have been unable to unearth evidence for their claims on 2ch.
>>290922552You didn't watch egg and you didn't watch this because that statement can never be true if you did either.
Any possibility of a movie/sequel? And remind me what the novel is going to be about if they mentioned it
RIP Grace-sama...
>>290922562>anon doesn't even mention yuri>durr yuritardHoly obsessed
>>290922496If you read the show that way then wouldn't the natural ending be something like Lara not using the dagger to kill herself, or Mari sacrificing herself but instead stabbing Rowan with it. A symbol of the old world and the tether that binds Lara to it.
>>290922661>Any possibility of a movie/sequel?lol>And remind me what the novel is going to be about if they mentioned itIt's just a retelling of the anime.
>>290922656https://may.2chan.net/b/res/1434726788.htmthey're too busy discussing about how bad the anime is
ARE THESETHE DEEPEST DEPTHSOF YURI!?!?!?!?!?
>>290922693I don't think literally killing the past would be warranted since Rowan does have reasons for what he did but Lara and Mari should find a way to restore the light without Lara having to stab Mari while still shattering Rowan's convictions in the process. Yes, they should just kiss.
>>290922496The show seems fine with saying that that’s a good system though. Rigmor falls in love with Rowan and there was no critique on that idea really
>>290922643So is there any actual reason for his constant clumsiness or is that just a funny quirk he has?
>>290922447>Because they self-insert as the lesbiansSo not what anon said>>290922622>>290922689Because my original post was talking about them
>>290922750Nailed it
>>290922447>Trannies are just really weird porn addicts in general.True but they have nothing to do with actual yurifags, since yurifags loath TS stuff in yuri works while actual trannies think that lesbians should settle with crossdressing guys thinking they are women.
>>290919213I knew she had to be evil because I love evil women and I love her.
>>290922855You know what, considering Koide seems to have lost himself in his own pretentiousness at the finish line, I can't say they're wrong.
>>290922641>I don't see an alternative being presented though, more like an inevitability like the females of every species being the ones who create lifeLisa and the other sisters are out there attempting to fulfill the requirements the merpeople set on them but its only Lara they want and say only Lara can shine her light on them. Despite there being people who want to conform - the society will damn itself to entrap Lara. It relies on her and feasts on her while they could likely ignore her and find an alternative route they won't. >It doesn't seem like the show has been pushing Lara to just abandon her responsibility either, it is a matter of fact that her family and species' survival depends on her.Which is incredibly unfair to her. Why can't she have the life and love that she wants?
>>290922805No he’s literally just there. Inexplicably a semi-foreign blond haired boy who looks almost exactly like the prince stumbles upon Lara in a random town in Japan
>>290922859no they dont, trannies self insert as lesbian 2d girls not crossdressing guys lol
>>290922855>a return to the past sovl, i miss the 90s/00s
>>290922855Just proves that director-sama managed to recreate the retro aesthetic all the way down to the molecular level.
>>290922884It’s fine don’t worry. The ending is apparently that Lara should just do whatever the fuck she wants and that’ll keep the mermaids alive anyway
>>290922643>hetrannysWhat is this even supposed to meanYurifags are called trannies because a bunch of trannies are into yuri. Trannies absolutely hate ''hetslop''
>>290922855Truly a disciple of Ikuhara
>>290922461I thought the whole "true love" thing meant she had to be stabbed according to the dad?
yuri doko!?!?!
Now I want to see how the script with more exposition looked like. Apparently Koide wants to trust the audience to understand his vision but if the leaked ending is real then it seems something went wrong
>>290922967Just interpret it. No, don't ask me why Mari was always the focus when true love was discussed and Lara's light shone.
>>290922805Most likely, he was such a faggot that his own balls got in the way; what I don't get is how the hetrons still had hope for Luca after seeing that.
>>290922967the real yuri is the cocks lara sucked along her travels to find herself
>>290922954The real problem is that nothing is fucking being explained. Why should we believe what Rowan says? The only times we’ve seen the dagger do the stabbing have been in cases of rejection. On top of that, when it’s successful, the only thing we’ve seen is that the mermaid gets turned into a witch. Why would he want that? It makes no fucking sense
>>290922793No because there's nothing wrong with things working out without pressure. That's the message. If things go as planned then there shouldn't be a punishment or sacrifice as it were. But Grace resisted the demands of her people and was punished with everything that occurred afterwards. Or so it seems. Her story is proving that there is another way that doesn't conform to the rules set by their people and it doesn't have a horrible ending.
>>290918380What's even worse is that this >>290918443 jackass is nowhere near as autistic as that idolfaggot
>>290922296Trannies want to date lesbians. Trannies(this mtf type) are men. Though they delude themselves into thinking it's gay and their "girldick" is appealing to women into pussy
>>290922859Yeah I agree. They also always talk about how lesbians should accept their "girldicks" and how lesbians who are not interested in mentally ill crossdressing men are "bigots". Really nasty bunch, I tell you what.>>290922905Then how come they're almost always the ones pushing for TS/GB/crossdressing stuff in yuri spaces?
>>290922447This, go take a look at the forums in Dynasty Scans. They're already arguing that Tranny + Female equals yuri. The cringelords over there are trying to push for more mainstream acceptance so they can proceed with the next step.Unfortunately most of them are broke because they can't hold a job due to their mental illness. So they can't really financially support their obsession with the genre.
Honestly Kamiina Botan absolutely lapped this show in the AOTY race
>>290922251Lara's heart is hungry for blood and a soul. She stopped herself with the prince, but that can only get her so far
>>290923076You're forgetting episode 3
>>290923059Yeah but we are talking about men fucking girls not whatever you're making up
>>290923034>Why should we believe what Rowan says?Because he's a benevolent patriarch who shoulders the responsibility for the merfolk's wellbeing and who wouldn't lie to his daughter about such a grave matter?
>>290923096even so
>>290923084But we’ve seen that that manifested out of rejection. If someone can receive acceptance why would it still seek to consume like that? And again, Rowan should know what would happen to his daughter if that does happen
>>290920674>>290917863Ruri Rocks is yuri btw
>>290923062Notice how they push Genderbend, meaning they don't like cocks
>>290923076botan was boring trash.
>>290923034The mermaid lore was always weirdly inconsistent to me but I don't see any reason to not believe the cripple dad's exposition with only 1 episode left.
>>290923126You're a retard btw
yuri bros did we win? its not clear to me
>>290923143I mean sure it’s just weird because we don’t see what happens when the stabbing occurs outside of Grace becoming a witch, so the reasoning behind his decision makes little sense
>>290923173You won some scraps.Like always.
>>290923173nobody knows
>>290923126How?
new thread doko
>>290923062People call anime “tranime” because of yurifags
>>290923112>corrupted one princess>killed the otherWhy wouldn't we? He had every right to declare war on the humans.
>>290923034Well Grace's dagger did return to light once it killed her prince, so he's not totally wrong about that. Now why he would think that would save the mermaids, that I don't get. It's not like light returned to the palace after it did.
>>290923169>>290923214Thank god Ruri doesn't have a male lover. Otherwise you would have rendered the threads useless like you did with Lycoris threads
>>290923133What about the TS and crossdressing stuff though? You also ignored the first part of the post (believe me, it does happen and it's as retarded as it sounds).
>>290923214Don't try to reason with his deranged Filipino mind
>>290922776Daggers are made for stabbing. If you gotta stab someone, stab Rowan.
>>290923195Meanwhile, the Lucasisters didn't get so much as a crumb.
>>290923262Calm down, GMT+11 retard
I have a question for Ruri fags but i ll wait for the next thread
>>290923247Cute ojiwife
>>290923221I'm pretty sure only autistic brown children call anime "tranime" to begin with.
>>290923124But that rejection hasn't been erased. She was rejected and her heart and light haven't turned back to their original form due to that event. For me, it seemed like with true love (not rejected), the dagger would return to its original form, but it seems like they've decided that she has to eat someone whether she is loved again and reciprocated or not which is ass imo
>>290923247I never watched Lycoris because of the old interracial gay coupleNow answer the question, how is Ruri Rocks yuri>>290923249>What about the TS and crossdressing stuff though?I don't know, i don't talk with trannies like yurifags do
>>290923300Manila
just realized lara is used goods

This thread suddenly got prickly
>>290912544WaifuGODs, Kumiko and Reina belong to us now!
>>290923328Like they had it right there. The perfect allegory to someone who's heart has been broken and they're afraid to love again out of being rejected. It is through new connections and trust that we amend it, even from the attachment theory. So sad to see them throw it away.
boring witch backstorywheres the fucking slam clam?
>Chinese lesbians
damn the ed transition got be bawlingfuck u lara u stupid fag
are people really not able to follow such a simple plot that they think things arent explained enough? lmao
the light = the gayness?
WATASHI WAAAAAAAATASHI
these threads are so fucking terrible, this level of shitposting should be reserved for sunrise trainwrecks or somesuch, just why are these threads so unbelievably shitty?
>>290923407Mataba
>>290923312Just like Kumiko and Reina
>Humans are beings who live by words>Humans reject anything that cannot be expressed by wordsAn old ass mermaid just roasted every /a/non to ever post in this board with just two lines. Mocking your media literacy and overall comprehension. Humans are and always will be cave men who need to be told things directly, who become idiotic and aggressive over the smallest details. Unlike us fish who don't even need words to get laid we just go "glu glu" and our women give us eggs to cum to. Checkmate, leggers.
>>290923247That never stopped them; I remember that in the few scenes where guys appeared, the maletranny's would start fantasizing in the Ruri Rocks threads, about a relationship with the FMCs. The same thing happened with Kamiina Botan threads.

LaraMari kiss in the finale
>people making up their minds about the ending by reading a few lines of spoilerLet me guess, you also read the plot of movies on Wikipedia and think it's the same as having watched them.
>>290923481no because the plot continues to introduce contrivances
