Anyone well-versed in anime originals saw this coming.
These are the last place to look for a yuri kiss or romance

Fans of yuri really have no reason to complain. In this season alone, they got two (One hard confirmed) yuri series. Sure, it may not be as many as fans of normal/regular love series get every season, but better than nothing, right? You people should really be more appreciative and less greedy.
>>
I don't like this idea of love ultimately being this gentle harmonizing/healing force that fixes everything. It should be something that shakes and shatters you. True love should be disruptive/destructive, especially when you're dabbling in themes of forbidden love.

We sort of see this with Grace and how her love led her to killing the object of her love. We see the same thing with Lara who almost killed the prince. We see the ruin of the merpeople brought about because of love.

Christianity is a main theme in the original story and isn't christianity about a dude who gets violently crucified because of his message of universal love? Not a very gentle thing.

>Q: At the time of this interview, it's before the show has aired, but you have had a showing of the first episode. The setting is so wonderful that it seems you're already receiving a lot of fan art, right?

>A: Thankfully the reaction to the advanced screening was really good. We were really nervous while making it, so the reaction is really encouraging and makes us happy. Some people are even drawing fanart of the characters in pairs and I think everyone has different expectations about what kind of relationship they want between whom, so I don't know if it will go the way you expect or not, but I'm sure that no matter which way it goes, you'll come to love every character.

That's romantic love. Mari and Lara are like Grace and Rigmor. They're sisters
>>
>yuribait is bait
>yurifags immediately turns against it
>>
The reason there’s so many shots of Mari and the can, etc. is not because of romance between her and Lara. It is because Mari represents the ideal of “living for love” that Lara will strive for come finale. Mari brought unconditional, universal (christian) love into the lives of both Grace and Lara. Lara will take this lesson she learned from Mari and carry it forward as she goes off to experience the world beyond Shiga.

You clearly were not engaged with the fandom daily. Fgas were sure of a yuri ending when we got leak storyboards and when Nyaa and Machu joined forces to fight shuuji in the final episode. They were jumping with excitement until the last 10 or so minutes when they were hit with reality

Lisa tells up that the previous princesses created their lights from their love to the sea. This means that Rigmore's light wasn't born from her love towards Rowan, but instead it was born from her love towards her people when she chose to give up on her dream for them and marry Rowan to become their queen after the old king died.

They don't care about yuri shows; to them it's more about ideology than actually enjoying anime. And their ideology is to push LGBT shit and make it mainstream at all cost.

This show saw two ideologies intertwine, waifufags vs yurifags. The people who just wanted to watch to see what happens got caught up in the middle. The story is pretty simple; you don't have to look at it from a philosophical standpoint.

>mermaid adjusting to living in Japan
>a bit of romance happen between her and a boy
>romance didn't really pan out
>climax happen
>everyone is saved except for Grace and everyone goes back to being friends

It's a pretty simple concept.

As other anons have said, Mari sacrificing herself is part of that universal love theme. Obviously she cares for Lara but the finale explores it more from the angle of being willing to take risks and continue living in the face of pain and challenge.

The cake promise is actually mentioned during the train scene chinese leaker was being very broad strokes. Might just make people mad tho cuz it still feels a bit weird for Lara to leave with how it’s presented.

Seems kinda underwhelming to me that they're recycling Grace's story with Lara's in ep12, only difference is that she is angry and she gets eaten too? Wouldn't it have been easier to explain that acceptance of love whatever the form it be changes the light's design?

Kino ending
Yurifags hate it because they are cumbrains that can only get off to fictional lesbians instead of legitimately consuming the art
>>
>>290924356
And yet the only love that mattered through the whole show was romantic. Grace? Romantic. Rigmor? Romantic. Rowan? Romantic. Himeka? Romantic. Fucking Yoshiya? Romantic. Even Lisa and Kouta leans on romantic
>>
So when Grace attacked Rowan's slumber shell last episode, was she really just trying to kill him before he can push his human genocide shtick on Lara?
>>
So what happens to Rowan and the rest of the castle?
>>
>>290924445
Explain
>>290921999 and the rings
>>
>>290924370
>>290924409
The ring was explained this ep basically. It guides you toward your objective. When Lisa gives it to Lara in the finale she more or less explains that and says that she hopes Lara can use it to ‘continue searching for and experiencing love’
>>
So Mari isn't Lara's true love but it's more like she embodies the christian love Lara admires and will try to find it by herself

Well for one Watanare cannot be legally sold in China which had the biggest audience outside of Japan. And westoids don't like it for some reason.

Westoid seems to only like yuri if one of the girl looks like a bulldyke. Because this one seems to be doing well here...
>>
>>290924201
Rigmore's love is actually Grace. True love is about letting the people you love go so that they can pursue their dreams or so you could fulfill a higher purpose.

This will be mirrored in the ending where Mari will let Lara go so she could live elsewhere while Mari devotes herself to boxing in Shiga.

>>290924513
Other anon in previous thread got it right. Basically Lara’s heart at this point needs to consume something because it’s been primed to do so. I think the reason she doesn’t become a witch is actually because Mari doesn’t reject her so it sort of counteracts everything. Kinda vague and very dream-sequence heavy. Rowan’s reasoning isn’t really explained either lmao
>>
>>290924337
That's not all yurifags, although far too many of these have cropped up over the last 15 years to the point where they dominate discourse in most English-speaking communities. I think pockets of oldschool yurifags are still holding out in Japan. Those are the yurifags who went to the advance screening and didn't shit their pants despite not kiss nor commitment to muh gay cause.

Just watched episode 11. Even without the spoilers, the bullet was chambered the moment this episode decided to focus on sisterhood and grace expicitly saw herself and Rigmor in Lara and Mari.

Grace and Rigmor had their light shine for each other and true love is clearly being set up as not limited to romance as expected by society of women.

Exactly, that was what I thought so too. She could manage somehow ofc but it really rubs the wrong way isolating her. As others said in previous threads, this type of ending would work with a protag who's lost everything or something important and Lara won? But even after all this ambiguity, we're supposed to understand that she loves the human experience itself and not erm humans.

Did you even watch this episode? Grace's obsession wasn't about love. She didn't go on land just to find a guy; it just happened. Her thing had always been that the merfolk and humans can coexist. Even after her sister got killed by them, she still believed it.

Next week will prove that; hell, the leaks proved that. Or are you somehow implying that Grace is keeping up with Japanese politics and wants Mari to change the LGBT marriage laws?

>And westoids don't like it for some reason.
Watanare is a yuri with a huge skew towards a male audience. All the post-movie tweets in Japan were talking about how the audiences were basically only filled with men. Westoid males/trannies have been trying to shill it to other Westerners but it was always DOA for females who don't like haremshit and could smell Renako being basically a genderswapped generic male lead personality-wise from a mile away. Note that it's always the trannies trying to refute the last point kek
Not to mention that "dubious consent" chapter immediately killed its chances of selling well in the West since LGBT Westerners are moralfags about "problematic themes" in manga. That's why Wayama Yama's BL with a huge age gap sells like millions in Japan but flopped with less than 2k books sold in the West.

>>290925034
Grace never really encourages her to do any particular thing, she wants Lara to discover her own form of true love. The flashbacks show that her obsession with Lara forms from Lara having a different, selfless outcome to the same set of circumstances that Grace found herself in.
I don't think Grace really has any idea what form of Love Lara should find, she just wants Lara to prove that she herself wasn't entirely misguided when she abandoned her sister to seek out her light (love) on land. She wants Lara to redeem her.

I can only tell you that I've read the chinese forum and it was described as broad strokes because he didn't explain shit about the mermaid's fate, luca or stuff like that. Some comments asked him and he replied. There's an archived threat with a paste of all said on the chinese forum.

Info not mentioned by the guy is the theory made before about the dagger maintaining its design instead of changing since Mari would accept Lara's feelings. That part is made up by using anons thoughts, yes, not confirmed. They're conclusions made out of the leaks as to explain why it would pierce Mari, because the chinese leaker did mention that she would get pierced. I don't like it one bit, easier to make the dagger/light change form through love and overcoming past grieves regarding the prince's rejection, but whatever.

Picked up the show and watched all 11 episodes. I agree with the sentiment this show is very wishy washy and doesn't know what it wants to say. We're next to last episode and I still have no idea what message about true love it's trying to communicate. That is bad.

Honestly, yeah. Lara should've thought he was the reincarnated prince and confessed in the same episode or next and figure out that he wasn't the boy she fell in love with back then. Not that it would mend her heart, but it'd have been one step closer to figuring out how to stop the dagger through love

While I understand that the choice to write Luca was to deal with her trauma with the prince in hindsight it doesn't make much sense when the goal wasn't romantic love. Could've easily skipped over all that shit to focus in other aspects of love, but whoops, it was all romantic by the end
>>
>>290926153
Kojima earned sniffing his own farts, don't disparage him by comparing him to pure hacks.

The true ending is Mari confessing her love to Lara which causes Lara's light to transform from a dagger into a dildo.

>>290926197
No, it's a woman who has experience writing romance stories. The interview from last week said the director made major adjustments to the script to reflect his creative vision.
>>
>>290926247
Women are better at writing romance. This show (despite being themed around love) is completely unromantic. That's a sign of a male writer.

Reminder that the novel serialization is done by an LGD artist.

>>290926122

>>290925085
I like how this post is made up nonsense, because the Watanare anime was very popular in the west. Just look at how many views the episodes got on Youtube. Also, Watanare is popular with both genders. Lots of Japanese viewers though it came off like an otome but with the genders reversed.

Btw, the novels are sold out in english, and Seven Seas for some reason can't be bothered to reprint stock. They absolutely fumbled a great opportunity to advertise the series while the anime was airing, but they're a shitty publisher. I have no doubt Yen Press would have treated it much better and shilled it to hell.

In regard to Mari, I'm pretty shocked. I figured if Grace died, Lara would still be around for her. But I guess the director was being up front about not wanting to make a normal coming of age where everyone is happy and that he is a contrarian.

I’m sorry but it’s vague. This isn’t a Kaguya situation where we get an indirect confession or anything. They’re not going to verbalize anything.

Because suddenly her true love isn't Mari herself but the human experience and leaves to live it. Which, first of all, doesn't make sense since if that were the case, the brightness of her light should be the same with anyone that is living, such as Luca, her coworkers or the rest of Mari's family. Secondly, randomly leaves instead of staying when she can experience human life in the same town she met all cast. And, on top of that, makes real Mari's fear of being utterly alone without her or Gonchan. Doesn't seem to mention if she'll be back even after Mari sacrificed herself for Lara and her senpai.

It’s supposed to represent the mermaid’s heart so it doing things to protect who she cares about makes sense but I find it ridiculous that her heart has some uncontrollable desire to stab someone even if that someone has genuine love for them and accepts them wholly.

How would the ending shit the bed?

>>290927288
They did that bc they were chickened to proceed with a romance between the two of them, that's it. But it's pretty stupid to throw away the chance to give a good message where new connection mend anyone's heart. They wouldn't have needed to commit to romance to show that type of allegory. They did Grace 2.0 but at least they won't die

Yes because the cases are the plot(the mini-plots really). That’s the point, there is no sol like in lara, the plot is properly spread out and you have more than 3 episodes dedicated to the main villain.
>dogshit

>>
>>290927348
It’s been an unfocused mess from the beginning. The first three episodes were really solid but then goes nowhere with Mari until 5 episodes later despite making her central to the plot. 4 and 5 feature side stories that don’t actually further along Lara’s character arc (she just ends up making the expected mistakes in the proceeding episodes). 6 goes in depth on two characters who proceed to do basically nothing for the rest of the series. Luca is this weird red herring that the show couldn’t settle on giving a strong purpose, etc.

What vision??? This show has a different vision each episode. There’s hardly a cohesive theme. The “live for love” ending is some nonsense they came up with last minute to justify fucking around with their silly characters for the last 12 episodes and trying to apply nonsensical value and meaning to it

How cool would it be if the dagger flew towards Mari during the confrontation scene and she proceeds to punch it away while wearing her boxing gloves.
>>
Can someone just do a little recap of the episode? I Was sleepy so maybe I lost something but:

>Flashback
>Two sisters, Grace and Lara mom
>Lara Mom marry the King for love
>Grace is bored of that fishy life, do all the thing and kill her human lover
>Lara mom sacrifice herself for Grace
>The King ban Grace and forbidd human contact
>Grace see that lara resemble their former selves and want to try helping her just see if this time is different
>Is not so she use her own life to mantain all the kingdom
>The King want to stop Lara from that

To be honest it seems a very plain and predictable story that doesn't say anything, nearly a filler episode that could have been a mail
>>
>>290927521
She rejected Luca for Mari, didn't she, and was her true love.
>>
>>290927482
What's bad about them is that it's a handful of sentences used to summarize 20 minutes of screentime. You can make any show or movie sound absolutely terrible doing that.
>>
>>290927239
Well yeah, I think most people here agree? Personally I'm rewatching some scenes from the whole show to see if I can "understand the vision" but so far I've seen Lara reaching to a similar conclusion from the leaked ending twice through the show yet somehow Director-san wanted her to keep going in circles for no reason
>>
>>290927543
And the love she feels for Mari isn't romantic.
You got baited, yurifag.
>>
>>290927535
Grace’s backstory was pretty much to a tea what people predicted except for the fact her relationship with the prince was a carbon copy (well the original I guess) of Lara’s. I don’t know how it made people so emotional

the difference is the christian theme, that seems stronger than previously expected, here the love is the christian one, the law... is not the law of the conventions... but the laws of the mortal world. Grace was surprised by the fact that Lara, didn't killed her prince, she preferred put everything on herself. When Grace become Gon-chan, she see the cross in Mari(a), probably she even knew christianity from the sunken ships.

I don't get how the fish stabs Mari suddenly if it's the size of a building. Shouldn't it eat her? And if that's the case how does Lara smash it then get swallowed by it?

So according to the leaks Lisa and Koto die, presumably Rowan dies (he wasn't mentioned at all), Luca and Hoshiya don't do anything, and the ending is basically nothing happens and Lara leaves to explore the human world?

Not particularly believable because every single theme of the show is either thrown away or contradicted by it and it means we wasted multiple episodes on characters that didn't end up mattering at all.

Why did Grace cut Lara’s tongue out?
Was it because the prince told her, “Don’t speak human language”?
Even someone with an average level of intelligence should be able to understand that the prince rejected her because she was a monster—not because she was a monster who dared to speak human language. But apparently, Grace doesn’t have enough intelligence to figure that out.
And then, in order to avoid that bad ending, the most obvious thing in the world would be to tell him, while she still has her legs, “Actually, I’m a mermaid.” Yet somehow, Grace can’t even come up with that obvious idea.
The story can only be defended by making Grace into an unbelievably stupid character.

Initial leaks said movie ends with Madoka abandoning Homura on a bench, when the ending is Madoka fading away after being absorbed again by the Law of Cycles. Leaks didn't mention the appearance of the soulless Law of Cycles as the final boss at all. Leaks also misrepresented who Wasu/Margarette were and didn't talk about the movie's religious overtones at all.

I've read a lot of books in my life. Just not lesbian ones(they cannot read, same as with watching movies). I'm a fish supremacist though, so I think I can finish this show to it's end.

I can tell you're a post-2020 tourist from the third world because that image is ancient, yet yours and all your other images begin with 17x, when it should be 12x at the latest. You don't even know the series it's from. Also, your need to respond indicates you're either him or a shitskin like him.

Not really, Akiba Maid War wasn't called yuribait despite most promotional art featuring Ranko and Nagomi. It only happens when a show has little going on or tries really hard to to bait /u/fags
>>
>>290929310
More like when a show has a cutesy artstyle, which attracts yurifags. See >>290912649
None of those shows are yuri, but yurifags still claim they are
>>
>>290929299
The way they drew the iris (and pupil too I guess) is so fucking gorgeous
>>
>>290929335
Kimishinu is canon yuri. The rest are just waifu fodder

Akiba Maid War was one of a kind and the threads were good too unlike this cesspool. How did it do it?

By keeping yurifags out of them

Yurifags didn't watch because there was no yuri fanservice. If anything, this shows that it's non-yurifags who start shitposting when yurifags are around, because there's no shitposting in Kimishinu threads either.
>>
>>290929364
>>290929451
I knew 3/4 weren't yuri so i assumed top right would follow the pattern and also not be yuri
I stand corrected

The point still stands
>>
>>290929423
>>290929438
Yeah, it repelled yurifags from the very first episode despite being an all-girls cast.
Such a thing was an amazing accomplishment.
>>
>>290929482
Director-san mentioned yuri in his interview for the show so Lara also counts as yuri. Chainsmoker Cat is yuri-adjacent when it has lesbians by any stretch.
>>
>>290929474
You say that, yet yurifags latch onto any CGDCT and they don't need to wait for any yuri fanservice to do it regardless
>>
>>290928615
Kota, the most important, she doesn't know…
>>
That's an amazing amount of samefagging
>>
>>290929474
The opposite
Lara threads are bad because of yurifags acting like this non-yuri anime thread is yuri and then getting butthurt when people point out the obvious. Mind you Lara threads were good at the start before yurifags came in


If yurifags kept contained to yuri shows this wouldn't be a issue, like it wasn't in Akiba Maid War threads
>>
>>290929517
>Director-san mentioned yuri in his interview for the show so Lara also counts as yuri
Not only he never did, but also that's not how it works
>Chainsmoker Cat is yuri-adjacent when it has lesbians by any stretch.
One joke character that appeared for one episode and never again does not make a anime yuri
>>
>>290929518
Yurifags express interest in CGDCT because they sometimes can contain yuri, like Grow Up Show does this season.

>>290929527
>like this non-yuri anime
Yet the director purposely brought up how he wanted to do something like yuri.
>>
>>290929451
What's yuri in this image?

They're just friends, and one is dead.
>>
>>290929527
Nah. Shitposters who don't watch the show are the issue. Do you agree?
>>
>>290929527
Lol poojeet
>>
>>290929568
I agree
But there are also shitposters who watch the show, like the ones saying this anime is bad because it won't have a lesbian ending
>>
>>290929549
Grow Up Show was yuribait just like this show
>>
I pity the hetfags who are falling for the chinese psyop to make them think that Lara won't end in yuri. We know the reactions of jap yurifags and they were thoroughly ecstatic.
>>
Everyone here except the anons who post nice fanart and pretty screencaps are just so... exhausting.

If you're talking about Yani Neko, you don't know that because the character appeared for one episode.
>>
>>290929626
It will count when they kiss and fuck on screen. Until then it's just bait and lip service
>>
>>290929518
CGDCT is literally made for the yuri genre. The entire Manga Time Kirara catalog is run by women and women who are publishing yuri doujins. They are creating entirely female casts. Are you also surprised when fujos flock to all male cast shows?
>>
>>290929606
I never stop being stunned by how good the designs are
>>
>>290929628
Do you want me to use the term sapphic instead, lol? Lesbian is just the default name for a girl attracted to another girl if we don't know anything else about her.
>>
>>290926280
>what’s the best anime made in the last 6 years?
Tojima tanzaburo wa Kamen Raida ni naritai.
>>
>>290929650
Meanwhile, the most successful CGDCTs like Yuru Camp have no yuri fanservice whatsoever.
>>
>>290929643
>no kiss/sex
Then I guess Lara was a straight bait anime then too with the Prince. Weird how you aren't mad about that though.

>>290929716
So why do only yurifags lose then? Sounds like non-yurifags lost even harder because romance was outright denied with Luca.
>>
>>290929739
This show wasn't advertised as a girl meets boy story, though
>>
>>290929739
>So why do only yurifags lose then?
because yurifags were the one claiming this was yuri
>>
>>290929757
>>290929761
People were also claiming that the prince would win and fuck Mari. Several yumeshippers got real satly, more than any yurifag has.
>>
>>290929795
>more than any yurifag has
not in these threads as i dont know nor care about anywhere else
