This ending is wrong, full stop. The writers couldn't answer the question they asked themselves: if Lara was so in love with Mari, why did she leave Mari, whose biggest fear is being lonely? Why does this happen? Well, they don't know. They had to end this with a separation because that's the premise of the title, but it's very clear that, by the time they arrived at the ending, the story didn't accommodate this ending at all. They could not ignore it because that would've made for an even worse situation, so they acknowledge it, but they can't answer it.This creates a really heavy atmosphere for a finale. The way Lara leaves feels dark, like she's being separated against her will. Mari feels heartbroken too. It's almost like the story did actually end on Lara killing Mari, metaphorically. She kills her own love for Mari and breaks Mari's heart. But again, why? What other kind of equal love does she expect to find?This is the core issue here. The writers wanted to deliver a message about true love being something infinite and ephemeral, the love for humanity as a whole, but that's not how humans work. There are some things we love more than others. You love your friends strongly, but your lover even more so. Familial bonds can be weak, or they can be unbreakable. The bond Lara shared with Mari goes far beyond anything else she had. She said she didn't care about true love, but it's clear as day that Mari was her true love.This is why this ending doesn't work. Maybe trying to be smart about ideas as old as humanity itself wasn't the best call.
So should I bother replying or is this another post from reddit transplanted here?

>>291100489In the end, Lara was really sayounara..
The ending wasn't bad, but it could have been done a little better
>>291100489Don't forget to buy the merch.
I think this story desperately needs an OVA that shows what happens later. Maybe 5 years later or so.>show Lara return to Shiga>show the mermaids waking up>show her convince them that humans are not all bad>show her reunite with everyone>show a kiss between Lara and MariIf there was ever a time for a bonus episode feature for the BD, the time is now. This shit needs it as badly as MHA did.
>>291101364
>>291101364I hope the committee goes after the director's ass when this ending produces a catastrophic drop in the commercial performance of the IP.
>>291101509Who got duped harder? Yurifags, or the Shiga tourism board?
>>291101219that looks just like a shitty ecchi
>>291101364Was planning to but not supporting this shit now. I actually couldn't even find their store when I looked a couple days ago. But I hope their sales are lower than expected.
>>291101007Outside of the schizo infesting the threads at the time, it was a chill watch with anons.
>>291101522Most probably this was the ending the committee wanted
>>291100950It’s kinda heavy handed trans allegory
>Lara leaves Mari behind>She travels Japan with her sister's finances>being a tourist, doing nothing in particular, having a good time>sends Mari messages once in a while>Mari is happy for her, but she feels abandoned>mom gone, Gon-chan gone, Lara gone, everyone seems to leave her>tries to drown her sorrows in boxing, training and sparring all day>her trainer tells her that this is wrong, but she convinces him that she found resolve in Lara's absence>...>one day, Lara receives a message>Mari is in the hospital>during a match, she fell and hit her head badly>Lara rushes back>finds Mari in the hospital bed, unresponsive>Mari's family welcomes Lara, but they don't seem too pleased>they try to hide it, but they quietly blame her>Lara goes to Luca>Luca moved on and found himself a girlfriend; they've been happy together for a couple of years now>he didn't even talk to Mari since Lara left, they didn't have much in common>completely lost now, Lara goes to Lisa>Lisa didn't talk to Mari either; it's not like she even liked Mari all that much>Lisa asks Lara if she found what she was looking for>Lara realizes that she didn't even know what she was looking for>but she's all too aware of what she left behind>now, she just stays at Mari's hospital bed all day>it was Mari's turn to leave Lara>and it was Lara's turn to spend the nights sobbing into her pillow
>>291101734I hope their sales are good since I want more anime with visuals and direction like this
>>291101895Maybe they should have tard-wrangled the writer.
>>291101935If the writer got her way, Lara and Luca would marry
>>291101964Would have been better than what we got.
>>291101836I would say it's more generalized to being born into a bigoted, traditionalist family at all. The way Rowan talks about humans is clearly more of a racist than sexist thing but Lara's struggle to define true love has a queerness to it and the juxtaposition between the palace and the modern human world focuses on very ambiguous forms of acceptance through the "melting pot" society it depicts as compared to the closed off depictions of the palace that emphasize it as being isolated in darkness compared to the sunlit upper world where no one is obligated to produce light for others. There is a lot of emphasis placed on the weight of that obligation for Lara which is something that goes beyond just trans experience.
>>291100593>my organic homegrown seethe
>>291100489Would you guys like the ending if Mari said "sayonara lara" here?
I hate cryptic endings
>>291101984Lara's complete change in personality after becoming fully human completely justified Rowan's hatred of humans. Not only does she now have l*gs, but she's far from what she should be with her royal blood. >>291102007No, but it would have certainly added to the hilarity and meme potential.
>>291101889KINO KINOOOOOOOO
>>291102016
>>291101984I think the light thing was an allegory of how much Japanese society put blame on women for the low birth rate. Single women are often called "selfish" for not wanting to quit their jobs for becoming housewives
>>291101889Uber kino cinema
>>291102016There's nothing cryptic about this and the dialogue literally tells you what the meaning of everything is as if the symbolism wasn't blatant enough already
>>291102066Nice dig at Eva
>>291102007The fact that she doesn't say it makes the ending semi-bearable.
>>291101828They'd blame the director anyway.
>>291101076
>>291102081Again, I think it extends to any sort of "obligation to provide for/accommodate the family" but I agree that you're definitely supposed to think about that specific obligation that society has for women. The topic is very obvious when we open the series with Lara's birth and most of the cast are women including a scene where sisters talk about how the rest of the family might understand in a decade if they keep talking it out.
Well, leaving aside the final episode for a moment, I can't say anything other than I loved it,I had been waiting for it ever since that concept trailer released two years ago. I don't know why, but I got really hooked on it; it felt very whimsical and kind of magical (?), dunno, I just got really interested in it, so I'm really happy to have seen it materialize. It's such an excellent series from a technical standpoint.I'll probably rewatch it later in the year, but for now, I loved it. I had an excellent time watching it.As for the threads, I had some fun with all the bickering, and the Mari edits were great as well.Anyway, should Mari just go full "NICE BOAT" mode on Lara?
The fact they had to rehash the ending so many times over means there’s a lot of moving parts they needed to fit together. I bet a huge part of it is the committee’s demand that it can’t be too gay.
>>291102276>Anyway, should Mari just go full "NICE BOAT" mode on Lara?While sashimi is always welcome on the menu, I think Mari should consider dating one of her fellow boxing dykes and try to heal and move on from Lara.
>>291102007It wouldn't at least given me a laugh. I was stuck staring in disbelief at a blank screen without credits.
>>291102277Or at all.
>>291102277But it’s the director who wanted it deep and not conventional yuri
>>291101889
Kind of reminds me of Jojolion where people kept waiting for the payoff to plot points dropped throughout the series only for the series to go in a completely different direction that drops basically everything.
>>291102399SHIROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU!!!
>>291102414>some aspects of it have a faint jewish smell on them.more like feminism, which is similar
The more a /pol/tard is repulsed, the better an anime is
>>291102456Holy cope
>>291102456There is no way you can twist this ending as something positive without looking like a schizo lol.
>>291102475
So what is conventional yuri and how is this different
>>291102484Quite the opposite, there's no way you can bitch about the ending without looking like a tourist from /pol/ who doesn't even like anime in the first place
>>291102510I think conventional yuri is like good. So they set out to make something really bad. They almost failed but they accomplished their goals in the last several minutes.
>>291102528Copium strong enough to kill a grown elephant
>>291102456>>291102528/pol/ would have been repulsed by a genuine and heartfelt girl x girl romance with on screen intimacy. They should have done that. >>291102533They were so close to not pulling it off, but I believed in them.
So how many sayonara's did we hear them say in the last episode?
Ikuhara must be so disappointed from the pupil of his pupil
Look at these fags being baited into thinking this was yuri
>This show will be forgotten in a week
>>291102551Idk. Many /pol/tards claim they're OK with girl-on-girl as long as the girls are hot. Their problem with western dykes is that they're fat and/or look like men
>>291102551These tourists are porn addicts who are mad precisely because it was a genuine and heartfelt story instead of girl x girl fanservice because they don't actually like anime, they just got in the habit of fapping to anime girls and pretending to be nerds to have standing in their culture war shitposting
>>291101591It's a very shitty anime in general
>>291102589The worst part is that the cast and staff warned them this wasn't yuri for weeks but yurifags refused to listen
>>291102081>Single women are often called "selfish" for not wanting to quit their jobs for becoming housewivesyou might be completely right. It really puts that episode where she was stuck in her job rather than looking for her light into perspective.
>ending sux>ur a /pol/tard if you don't like itThat's a new one.
>>291102626It's hard to take those things seriously when they appear to be directly contradicted by what was going on in the anime at the same time. They should have specified the show makes an about face in the last 10 minutes.
>>291102179Eva isn't the only cryptic anime of the 90s. In fact, it became trendy for a while to be as cryptic as possible.
Crunchyroll fucked the subs up. Lara didn't date Luca again at all, he was referring to her being indecisive and impulsive, referencing how she asked him out then dumped him so quickly.In this context, the ending being Lara going off to forge a life of her own before settling down with Mari makes a lot more sense, albeit still rushed and sloppily done. Yuri did win, just not in a well-written way since it asks the viewer to 1) not use Crunchyroll and 2) have pretty high media literacy.Lara has been told her whole life to love someone. Just because she loves Mari doesn't mean her whole life should revolve around that love. She'll meet her again when she's a Gen Z boss with a mini or something, gay marriage is legalized, and they can move into a snug apartment by the lake. That, and she literally has a new body she has to grow into, and she wants to do that without relying on anyone.Again, a huge part of the ending being shitty is the Luca scene, which was not translated anywhere near correctly by shitty ass Crunchyroll, who implied that Lara's love for Mari didn't mean anything to her after all to just go and date Luca again, and then left everyone. IMO this fixes almost all of the ending, save the pacing and the fact that they really do ask you, the viewer, a little too much.
>>291102644I think the people making these shows know better than some weebs.
>>291102570Lisa and Kota have such great designs. I really liked them. Would it have been cheesy if they subtly gave her a ring to replace the one she passes on to lala?
So, in order for Lara to revive her family she has to go out and find more "light" cause she's tapped everything she could from Mari, she's basically a hoe or a succubus or something?
>>291102654Nips seem to disagree. And even if it was true, Lara's farewell to Luca was more emotional than her farewell to Mari.
>>291102654Fags like you hone in on a single small thing and ignore all the other glaring issues. That one line didn't even stick out to me and I still hated the ending because it shits on Mari and ruins Lara's personality.
>>291102693her family is fineas for why? it's not really explained, they just got part of her light I guess.she's also completely human now, so she can't see what mermaids see anymore.
>>291102693Lara will debut on JAV and absorve the light from the male performers and the fans watching at home
>>291102683Yes, but if you have vague twitter posts or the show itself, you're supposed to ignore the show? Seems like the show should have been made better to get across the points the creators wanted to make.
>>291102654>referencing how she asked him out then dumped him so quickly.Now that's even worse. So Lara is a slut. RIP
>>291102570>road mirrors showing the same road diverge off in two different directions Finally some good fucking anime It was like the cute helicopter sfx they had for dissonance in the scene with Mari and Lisa
>>291102654Nope. That's just a nip interpretating that line that way while other native speakers are interpretating it another way. I also interpreted this line as her finally concluding that Luca's light isn't what she's looking for and she's finally letting him go and moving on from him.
>>291102707>>291102712>>291102731>>291102654I can't wait until the manga where it show her date Luca again once she return
>>291102606bait has to be believable
>>291102774If the Goodbye Lara committee want it, it'll happen. That's how the industry work. Do you understand why Oshii hates committees now?
>>291102794Because they wouldn't've allowed him to draw blacked CGI porn
I wonder if the schizo knows that he could make his headcanon as much as he wants on fanfiction.net and/or A3.
>>291102693Sort ofIt's more that she can't tap any more from Mari and Luca without hurting them in her present state. Her light is derived from living in the world together but she has lingering anger that makes her lash out at those who get too close. She's going out not so much to find more light but rather so she can develop into someone who can have deeper relationships.
I can't believe the 'Lara is a slut' posters were right after all
>>291102816That's Masamune Shirow. Oshii just want to fanwank over New Wave movies and weapons
Maybe we'll get a FFX-2 style sequel where Lara is an idol.
>>291102840So Mari was a phase
>>291102883*Luca
It didn't even hit any vital organs, Mari was faking it.
>>291102874Lara, Mari and Lisa make a team to find Luca.
>>291102883Yes
>>291102883>>291102892>>291102910Every Lesbian is a phase who need a good ducking
>>291102892Her love for Luca was romantic but she was still too immature. Mari's love help her but both are girls so it can't be a romance and Lara has to move on to adulthood.
>>291100489>endingThe main problem here is that is not in any way.
>>291102921This is what nips actually believe.
>>291102874>idolWouldn't the implication be Lara riding the cock carousel around the world until she's ready to settle down?
>>291102874>FFX-2 mentioned Obligatory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL8h85eHYks
>>291102942No that's just the truth
>>291102769The person who made that tweet is American living in Japan. Native speakers didn't interperate it that way at all.
>>291102774You won't be able to read it because you're Malaysian.
>uhh bro she's only moving like 40 minutes awayThen why the fuck is the show presenting everything like she's never coming back? That's the weirdest thing to me. The Otsus and Lisa and Luca could have come with her and helped her move in. Instead she gives these tearful goodbyes. You can't tell me this tone isn't kinda fucked up.
>>291102942Many lesbians become bi later in their lives.
>>291100983real
>>291103007It's because it's deep and meaningful so they play up all the feels.
>>291103007They didn't. She said she still wants to live with Mari in the future. The point is that she needs to make her own life as a real human bean first. Should that have been clearer? Yeah. But that was the point.
>>291103007It's like two hours away and yeah the whole thing is framed like a permanent farewell.
>>291103007She blocked all of them once she got on the train and finished watching Mari sobbing because of her.
>>291103059I think you're coping.
>No Mom>No Gon-chan>No LaraFinal destination.
Who was phone?
>>291103038>so they play up all the feelsQuite the opposite, as indicated by the notable lack of a backing track for the final scene. A more manipulative show that didn't want the viewer to think during the ending would just slap in some emotional music.
People were shitting on the chink and treating the leaks like garbage fanfiction, but they sounded better than the actual episode.

>>291103117At least the Eric confessed. Meanwhile Mari and Lara are stuck on ambiguity. At the end Eric was closer to Luca

>>291103148There seem to be people on all sides try and failing to justify the ending. I wouldn't call myself a yurifag but I was hoping for and expecting yuri and was extremely disappointed. Even outside of no yuri the ending sucked. And given how much I liked Mari it made it worse. I'm still clinging to Mari and hoping artists will draw her in art without Lara needing to be there.
>>291103118>CTE end.
>>291103098Her hookup
Maybe the moving company is like that disappearing van in Breaking Bad.

>>291103413If you search "yurifag" or "yuritroon" it's 99% southeast Asians, Indians, and a few hispanics desperately wishing they were white. The yurifags are overwhelmingly Korean and Mexican for some reason.

>>291103007That's because she's only planning to see Mari again once she becomes a pro boxer and her own family once they wake up. She only seriously cried with Luca because that's their final goodbye.

>>291103413Depends on what you mean by shitposters, latam loves yuri like you wouldn't believe.
>>291103466Nip yurifags didn't give a single fuck about this show. And they turned out to be right in the end
>>291103572The Korean fiction scene is more BL and yuri oriented than Japan so it's not surprising.

Watched the last ep. I lowered my mal rating from a 9 to 1. Hats off to the writers for creating the most offensively dogshit ending I have ever witnessed. The door was open to multiple possibilities and they picked the worst one possible.
>>291103582I imagine spics are the ones who make anti-het shitposts.
>>291103699You can stop with the fake outrage now.
Crazy to think that it would've been an okay ending if the last 5 minutes hadn't happened.
>>291103558Oh yeah, true. I forgot Grace exploded when she transformed lol.
>>291103699I changed my anilist score from a 9 to a 7 since it was still great 95% of the way. Though maybe I should still lower it to a 6.
>>291103728The fake outrage will never stop because mental illness demands contrarian shitposting
>>291103732It was pic related animated
Always funny when yurifags get baited again and again and again
>>291103781Give it a week and they'll move on to something else.
The threads are far less shitty once you filter out the schizo's repetitive buzzwords
>>291102707>And even if it was true, Lara's farewell to Luca was more emotional than her farewell to Mari.yeah everyone noitce this.
>>291103685How do we fix Mari's horrible sense of fashion?
>>291100950I'm just glad we can still get anime originals with promising starts and incredibly disappointing endings like the good old days.
>>291103790All the yumes got baited 10 times as yurifags in this one.Same goes for G-Witch.
>>291103466Funny when yuri are for straight men
>>291103835It was really telling she was never going to see him again.
>>291103814Notice how many of the shitposts are just saying that this show is like a list of other shows that he's shitposted about before. They never stop because their entire lives are spent shitposting, it just gets added to the rotation.
>>291103833Not bad.
>>291103814Give it a week and everyone will have forgotten about this show EXCEPT for the retarded antiyuri shitposter.
>>291103865Feel good being yaoi/bl fans, don't need to force canon or depend on the directors. Just make up their own ships that they know aren't real.
>>291103874>she was never going to see him again.that's make no sense. luca just ask her to see his art again.
>>291103728>>291103781>>291103814>>291103887You can stop talking to yourself, schizoNo one liked this shit ending. Your samefagging is just pathetic and shows how you're the mentally ill one.
>>291103961She made no promises.
Hot take: the ending sucks because it assumes you're not a retard.Yurifags think they lost when they won but in quite a mature way.Plotfags think they lost but they won because Lara pretty gruesomely transforming into a human and deciding to forge her own life delivered on all of the strongest themes.Gracefags think she died for nothing but Lara and Mari did in fact save the merfolk and defied death and Lara's destiny for love.True Lovefags think they lost when they won, because true love in reality, not a fairy tale, isn't defined by someone else. Lara and Mari love each other but that alone isn't going to fulfill either of their lives, it's just a part of it.The problem? None of this is explained to you. You have to pay attention to their dialogue and tones and put the pieces together yourself, all in the span of 6 minutes. You have to notice that Mari is comfortable crying in front of Lara because she loves her, and Lara is determined to be strong, even in pain, so that Mari doesn't fret over her, because she loves her. You need to see that Luca finally got to see the real Lara and paint that, that they're friends now and there's no hangups with her choosing not to date him. You need to notice that "Sayonara Lara" is the title of the anime and is not said at any point, because it's not a permanent goodbye. Hell, Lara's not even moving far enough away Mari can't just hop a train one weekend and have some sweet, normal, pussy on pussy lesbian sex if she so chose.It's not easy, and Lara is going to fuck something up and text Mari about it, and Mari is going to be lonely for a while, but by the time they're adults, they'll be ready to get serious about what they want to do with each other in life beyond a kid's promise. Hell, Lara's already talked with her about plans to move in together on their own terms.But will the average viewer connect these dots? Probably not, so they should have had some lines in there at least going over the basics.
Luca will impregnate both Lara and Mari
>>291103991
>>291103983>No one liked this shit ending. Your samefaggingYou can stop trying to force this narrative about the ending, your samefagging is obvious and has been for weeks. Everything you try to force sticks out every time you try to do it, because you're a tourist who doesn't like anime.

>>291103833Holy kino. Kaguya mogged Lara so hard, pretty funny considering it sold so extremely well it's in theaters again and selling out just like last winter and spring.
>>291104021Meanwhile everyone keeps shitting on this garbage on futaba, social media and these threads. I don't know what you get out of pretending to be retarded like this, but you do you.
>>291103991Actual viewers understood it because it's literally stated in dialogue. It's only shitposting tourists who only interact with anime ironically who will claim it's incomprehensible because they do that for everything in order to shitpost.
>>291104043>inspect element
>>291103833Lol nice oneKaguya is so good it killed any other yuri shows this year
>>291103833KAGUYAGODS I KNEEL
>>291100489>>291100950It's unironically a wholesome Christian anime.Lara is something of a Christ-figure, literally dying for our sins. Her love for Mari isn't romantic (it wasn't supposed to be), it was agape. The end has her post-resurrection visiting people and disappearing, like Jesus did to the apostles after his death. She rejects the old ways and forges a new covenant, and then leaves Mari to ascend to heaven.I dunno, maybe? Once I noticed it, the Christian symbolism appeared everywhere (Mari's grandmother is a pastor IIRC). I don't think it's supposed to be explicit, but there is some kind of message there.
>>291100672I would honestly love for this to happen so the people coping with their headcanon shit like>everything makes sense because Lara is breaking away from being a story book character so that's why she's desaturated and creepily cold, she's a REAL human, not a character now!!!can fuck off
>>291104115Spongebob edits, the OfficeShitposting tourists really are normalfags lol
>>291104115Ironically the Eupho movie rewrote the ending to be KumiRei and cucked Shuuichi for the final time. Even the Japanese were confused.
>>291103991Didn't need to wait for half a year >>291096355
What are you talking about nips loved this anime.Loved shitting on it. That's it.
>>291100489Lara and Mari's "relationship" (platonic or otherwise) is not really believable IMO. They don't even really do anything particularly friendly, like hang out together. They don't go to school together. They work together, but barely interact at work. They live together, but Mari wasn't even interested in watching romanceslop with Lara.It's really just a relationship of convenience for both of them.
>>291102007The way that this face is already becoming a meme in both China and Western circles is hilarious.
>>291104163Literally who cares what the Japanese think? What do you think? They're elves in Valinor?
>>291103833kekThat's a clean edit
>>291102654This is a lying gajin from the US btw. Check posts from real nipponese people. All of them are talking about Luca and Lara dating on and off for 6 months.
>>291104196Well? What do the elves think?
>>291104215>real nipponese peopleYou kind of undermine any attempt at being genuine when you're just openly racist like this. You're just cherrypicking to push your own agenda rather than actually caring what Japanese people are saying about the show.
>>291103699When you changed it did you say goodbye lara lol
>>291101115Goes a bit further than that, but this definitely applies to any work that doesn't present itself as explicitly yuri. Sometimes it works out, even in subtext and indirect confirmation, such as G-Witch, despite all of the executive meddling to make sure it didn't happen. Most of the time it doesn't, and we get shit like the anime this thread is about. Never fucking assume, unless it's specifically said to be yuri, otherwise the odds are demonstrably horribly against you.
>>291104196Not like it matters since they share the same sentiment as everyone else anyway
>>291104217Elf things
>>291104271You say that and they will be all over the next anime original starring 2+ girls. They never learn.
>literally cries after bidding farewell to lucahmm six months of luca cock really did a number on her
Seeing people's hype supercuts make me more emotional than anything in the anime desuhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjGnt2wHyaI
>>291104152/a/ voted Flip Flappers AOTY 2016 the month after it aired newfag. Lara wishes it got that reception.This was before the site was flooded with tourists who think yuri is an attack on men or whatever goes on in Cheong and Arjun's monkey brains.
when the novel release? will someone translate it?
>>291104337
>>291104362>This was before the site was flooded with tourists who think yuri is an attack on men or whatever goes on in Cheong and Arjun's monkey brains./a/ loved Kaguya and it came out months ago
>>291100489>but it's clear as day that Mari was her true love.I was with you until right here. Lara never experiences romantic feelings in the present despite trying so hard to force herself to.
I haven't watched a single episode.Is it true Lara spent 9 months dating Luca before she left?
Sequel would be Lara coming back after 5 years and notices how things went to shit without her, everyone would call her a busta. Like San Andreas with mermaids.
>>291104332>the next anime original starring 2+ girlsThere are plenty of anime with only girls in them that don't have people seriously talking about the potential for yuri happening, the fault is on the writers for baiting it. And that's the problem, they know what they're doing, they bait this shit to get a wider audience and then pull the rug. Actually, G-Witch probably wasn't even "yuri bait" in the beginning, considering the two girls got engaged, but it still fell under the umbrella of "don't trust these fucks unless they say so otherwise you have a 90% chance of getting btfo'd". The yuri audience is like battered wives when finding these shows and getting their hopes up. For as popular as it is, there's just not that much out there, and a lot of times it's because company executives are crusty old fucks who actively try to prevent yuri from being a thing. So yeah, stuff like Lycoris and Lara, always assume it's going to be pure bait and temper your hopes, because that's all they're doing: baiting your viewership, because they know you'll keep hoping.
>>291103991>Yurifags think they lost when they won but in quite a mature way.You retards need to genuinly get your head checked out. 'Yurifags' aren't talking about losing anything anywhere.The ending was just bad. It happens. And it wouldn't even be a big deal if not for the twittertards flooding /a/ these days for which all anime is some culture war against yurifags, real and imagined.
>>291104454No.
>>291104454Yes.
>>2911044546 months, but yes it's 100% true
>>291104454>Is it true Lara spent 9 months dating Luca before she left?not date but she still hangout with him at least.
>>291104418Kaguya threads had the same monkey circus as Lara. Hell the yuri threads resident lolcow is still trying to convince himself people should be mad about Kaguya to this day.
>>291100489Lara loved Mari until the scene when she rejects true love and becomes a full human. She then leaves Mari to live her own human life.
Might as well double down and have Lara leave with Luca.
>>291104418The difference is nobody was offended by Flip Flappers in 2016 besides Re:Zerofags losing, but in 2026 you absolutely will find people upset about the yuri and yaoi in Kaguya. There have been some in these very threads.
>>291104362Random botted /a/ polls mean nothing.Flip Floppers is tied with Fractale for the lowest selling anime of all time. 667 copies.
>>291103195Nah Penpen still worse.
>>291104612Yeah thats what they call a cult classic
When is the next flip flapping anyway?
so they still not answer about true love?
Blame the west for the modern trope of "You don’t get the girl at the end"
>>291102794Idc about Oshii’s opinion anymore. He is a hack.
>>291104652>blame the west for nips fetishizing disappointing the audienceNo, thats a nip thing.
>>291104496>>291104546C O U N T L E S SOUNTLESS
>>291104492The vast majority of hate this ending is getting because of a misconception about Luca and that they didn't kiss or say I love you so I don't really know what you're talking about.
>>291104695It was not 9 months.
>>291104695>>291102654Also according to xitter the dub script of all things doesn't say she dated him again either but leave it to Crunchyshit to give browns ammo for years.
>>291104696No, the vast majority of hate its getting is for Lara just abruptly leaving making her feel cold and unlikable. No one even expected the latter and the former is schizo babble from the same guy (who very explicitly hates yurifags) who had months long meltdowns calling Ajisai a bisexual whore for having brothers.
Yurifags are in blatant coping phase huh
>>291104740Actual megacope
>>291104628Or trash.
>>291103991Plotfags lost because because the tonal whiplash and lack of buildup makes the ending fail to compliment what should be a very emotional theme.Gracefags lost because the hot hag is fucking dead as far as we know.
>>291104362Straight men still love yuri though. That's why yuri threads are way more popular than yaoi threads here. Because there's no women here.
>>291104696The majority of hate its getting is for Lara being a bitch. No idea what the fuck you are talking about, the whole idea they have to kiss or say Love you for yurifans to be allowed to like it is the opinion of the exact people I talked about. Certainly yuri fans never requires it if they watched the show to begin with.
>>291104668>blame nips for copying a western trend?
>>291104646They had to awkwardly dance around it cause they cant or being nips more likely didnt wanna make it too christian, yet by not shoving it in your face and making a bigger focus/time on it for the episode kinda just leaves it all falling flat with a "that's it?!" Kind of endingJohn 15:1313 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.They knew they had to fit it in the last episode, plan was correct, execution not so good though so flopped the landing
>>291104763in "a" blatant coping phase, Takbir
>>291104740Her follow line about "no do-overs" makes no sense without the previous line being about their relationship.
>>291104805Wtf stop doxxing me
>>291104740Nips are the ones fantasizing about Luca diving deep into Lara's smelly mermaid pussy.
>>291100489Blatant AI post, Jesus
>>291101354I agree.
What was the point of Mari being a boxer again?
>>291104869It's a shiga thing.
>>291103991>Lara and Mari love each other but that alone isn't going to fulfill either of their lives, it's just a part of itThat's just a cope and you know it. They purposely wrote her leaving because Japs have bittersweet ending autism and reasonable happy endings in a drama offend their sensibilities. Leaving unceremoniously is not how normal people act, and we're supposed to take this whole ending as being a result of her becoming human. All you're trying to do is bargain and make a shit "these two like each other but they're just going to disappear from each others' lives because that's just how nipponese life folded a thousand times is". Bad endings are just that: bad. It's time to admit that Japs tend to be absolutely fucking ass at writing endings and love to default into making things bittersweet with relationships lazily somehow not working out in spite of two people liking each other.
>>291104935>They purposely wrote her leaving because Japs have bittersweet ending autism and reasonable happy endings in a drama offend their sensibilities.I recently watched Fairy Tale and it had a nice happy ending, I missed when nips could write like that
>>291104935>It's time to admit that Japs tend to be absolutely fucking ass at writing endingsThe west is equally worse, faggot
>>291101522It might have been the committee that forced the director to make this ending.
>>291104869I really wanted a dramatic moment where Mari had to punch some fish people to save Lara.
>>291104823That's just the relationship we saw. Go listen to the actual Japanese, he's not saying they dated on and off for six months, that doesn't even make sense.Or better yet, go listen to the dub if you can't speak Japanese. It's clearer there.

>>291101007>>291101055Metallic Rouge had a great OP, ED, and OST, especially the main theme>THE MOMENT HAS ARRIVED FOR FIGHTING>THERE IS NO ESCAPE OR HIDINGThe setting and visuals looked interesting and the first episode showed promise. But as the show went on, it became more and more clear that the script was a trainwreck. By the final episode they had no idea what they were doing.
>>291105050This, modern western usually has garbage endings
>>291104195What about Japan?
>>291104271I don't know how G-Witch even made the ending undeniably yuri despite the massive executive meddling and censorship
>>291105191You are not saying anything new bro
>>291105235GWitch is not yuri
>>291105235All they did was show a ring for some seconds
>>291105250I didn't say anything anyone already said in this thread.

>>291103117>(and also erics dog dies)
>>291105277You are pointing out something extremely obvious
>>291105320I'm just describing the deal with that show
How do we convince other studios to use this art style?
>>291100489One hundred penises, maybe even more.
>>291105334preezu purchasu za BDs kudasai onegaishimasu
>>291105235>I don't know how G-Witch even made the ending undeniably yuriI mean, what you say is undeniable is just them showing them being together in the end and both of them wearing rings. I take that as confirmation, coupled with the "up for interpretation" damage control post from the company, but it's still not explicit in that it never showed them doing couple things. They got away with it because they were clever with their subtext and wrote things in such a way that there's no other explanation that works for them still being together like that in the end.
Did Lara quit her bakery job?
>>291105365But that doesn't really convince the other studios. We need some big thing, this could revolutionize anime and lead to a new golden age of better visuals.
>>291103014No, they were always bi. All lesbians are actually bisexual. For that matter, all straight women are bisexual too.
so why did she leave again?

>>291104935E7 had a happy ending(the sequel matters not to me)
>>291104999Why do they keep hiding Lara's face?
So why did she date Luca for 6 months after doing all that for Mari?
>shows is called goodbye lara>people are surprised she leavesRetard or bait
>>291105641I don't think Lara was capable of walking for the first few months.
>>291105641Can't beat the dick, son
So what was with everyone on twitter who saw the advanced screening saying how good the ending was? Were they paid to shill?
How many men will Lara fuck before settling down with Mari?
>>291105591Cinema.
>>291105710She will invite Mari over to fuck ojisans together.
>>291105733Sonny boy was great.
>>291105701Nips have the worst taste known to man, and the MC dumping his/her loved ones in the end with barely any explanation is like the quintessential "deep and mature" Japanese ending. >muh 成長 folded a thousand times
I am going to be honest, the ending is garbage but I am fucking laughing so hard at the " spend 6 months with luca" because 1 anon had a rant about how that scene literally insulted him and absolutely destroyed. Lmao, I wonder are some of the yurifags actual lesbian women, or why does a cartoon shake their core beliefs so much?
>>291105789>Nips have the worst taste known to manAnon, most of the west consumes shonenshit daily. They have equally worse taste

>>291105591[X] gives up and becomes ELITE NEET
>>291100489Everything was great except the last 5 minutes. Those last 5 minutes felt like it wasn't even part of the same script. Like it was tacked on by a committee mandating that they can't stay together to fly in the face of>I still want to be in this world because this world has you. All I ever want is to be in a world with you.It's not like Wonder Egg Priority where it's unsalvageable because it was a trainwreck through and through. It's just the last 5 minutes. An ova or movie could save it if they wanted to.
>>291105737Holy kino
All these Lara edits in a shitty apartment are great though
In the end...We truly were"Goodbye, Lara"
>>291104109>I don't think it's supposed to be explicitDuring the opening theme she walks on water and the closing shot is of footprints in the sand.

>>291105833>woman priestProtestant slop
>>291103732It feels like it either needed one more episode or the last five minutes to be erased. I don't think I've ever seen anything like that before.
What's the next interesting original(not yurishit pls)?
I'm a bit slow so I'll need to rewatch to figure out whathttps://youtu.be/3ExGuHWdXCEwas about
But the 6 months later and train scene felt like "the authorities tracked down the culprits and prevented the bomb from exploding" ending tacked on kek why couldn't they have just ended it with the lake scene
Will you fags watch GROTESQQQUE?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4dAQP5MlCs
>>291106078Yeah cuz it's yuri
>>291106078Of course I will, I am retarded
>>291106078gambling time
>>291100489Haven't watched it, should I pick this show up while waiting for the fall seasonal?
>>291106068>"the authorities tracked down the culprits and prevented the bomb from exploding" ending tacked onWhat's this referencing?
>>291106099>>291106086It isn't yuri according to the reviews and they are all shorts anyways.>>291106094??? Why would you be retarded for watching it?
>>291106023Same. I would have preferred one more episode, but erasing the last five minutes would have been more than enough in this case.
>>291105972>Let them eat cake!
>>291105701sunk costs fallacy. picture being so into this show that you got to go to the advance screening.
>>291106104Yes. Just stop watching during the last episode when you see "Six Months Later" at ~6 minutes left.
>>291106109
>>291105626>sequel>singular
>>291106225*sequelsWho cares
Why does Japan love couples having an extended separation endings? Is it a courtesy to ntr doujin artists? Is this what keeps the anime and manga economy running?
>>291106121Girls kissing isn't yuri according to your sources
>>291106248Stay just like that anon. Some roads are better left not tread.
>Maybe>you'll sit and sigh>wishing that I were near>Then, maybe you'll ask me to come back again>and maybe>I'll say, "maybe"
>>291106269None of the reviews mentioned yuri so it's probably not important or relevant, especially when all 3 of the shorts seem very much style based rather than trying to have a deep story.
>>291106121Maybe one of three stories will feature yuri? Who knows?
>mfw ningens
>>291106333Would you watch it if none of them feature yuri?
>>291106326Matters to me and that's all that matters.
>>291106341Honestly pretty disappointing the other sisters never have any presence in the story and only the father for like 10 seconds
>>291106385Ok but make a pinky promise that you won't get angry if it's not a yuri story and just a cool animation showcase.
>>291106269>>291106385Anon.... COME THE FUCK ON. The last short is about a fucking vampire sucking blood. What do you think the scene mostly like represents? A kiss or blood sucking? Seriously are you so demented that you see everything as something else
>>291106409It's basically a single 30 minute segment of a 100 minute movie. There's a substantial difference between irritation for a show that had 12 weeks of buildup versus a single showcase animation. You're an antiyurifag if you're that rarted
>>291106494What are you even talking about? It's about it being shit but about it not being yuri. Will that maek you angry? Can you please make that pinky promise? I've also checked on letterbox and 2 reviews out of 30 call the last one yuri and only 1 even mentions that kiss but more as a joke.
>>291106357I don't watch things just because they have yuri or not.
>>291106539Ok, that's smart.
>>291106530
>>291106135>Just stop watching during the last episode when you see "Six Months Later" at ~6 minutes left.You think anon couldn't handle the last 5 minutes of a chinese cartoon?
>>291106169Kek it does feel like that. Did it cut to this right before the explosions?
>>291106561Yes, that's one of them and it properly illustrates my point, most people don't see it as a yuri and the "kiss" from the trailer is most likely just "sensual" blood sucking. Vampire yuri are often not actual yuri.
>>291106440They're all vampires. The blonde girl is the leader who has turned all the humans to vampires. The story deals with Shion, one of her new vampires who is navigating a different connection to their leader.
>>291106614I know. Vampire can suck each other.
>>291102654this lying burger yurishitter has no shame
>>291106631They can but in this case they are not.
>>291106639Kek cope to the max.Yurishitters are such cucks
>>291106169
>>291106611It's already yuri, don't gotta prove it to me
>>291100489good ending
>>291106654If you say so. The most I can found about the kiss is this >The crowd at Fantasia was super enthusiastic about it, and definitely made the film more enjoyable. Then about a fifth of the audience oooh'd and giggled loudly when two female characters kissed. Embarrassing stuff.but I am like 100% sure that it's a "blood sucking kiss">>291106689Ok just promise me that you won't get angry and in case it's not yuri you will donate some money to charity, ok?
>>291102654He took JLPT in 2024 which disqualifies him from claiming he’s a Japanese speaker.
What the hell were they thinking when they made the last 5 minutes
>Lara gets realistic colors>Lisa doesn't
>>291106756Lisa might still be a mermaid, no? With the light restored, she shouldn't be falling apart anymore.
>>291106756Lisa didn't stop being a portion human. They didn't clarify if Kota died. They didn't clarify why Lisa continues to live as a human despite relying on Grace's potion still. This whole 6 months later gave ZERO answers.
>>291106756It's cause Lara's going Sayonara while Lisa's still there
>>291106840If you watch that scene again, a shadow appears on the bench next to Lisa as someone walks up behind her after Lara leaves, at it's obviously meant to be Kota.
>>291106840The more unanswered questions the deeper the ending
>>291100489One of the best endings we can have in Yuri.
>>291105641/u/fags are in full cope mode, especially about that, kek
>>291102995I can read anything with chatgpt.
>>291100489A shame it ran out of gas at the end. Could the possibly salvage it with some BD OVA?
Mari deserved so much better, fuck the writers
>>291107063Is Mari your sister or something? She is a character not a real person lmao
>>291107079I still care for her a lot, shut up fag.
>>291107026That's my only cope and hope.
>>291103833Kaguya really mogged this show
>>291107026Yep. Feels like they're gonna have to salvage it somehow. Saburouta has the manga but someone pointed out the only kiss you get from her is between Rigmor and Grace.
Prodigious amounts of samefagging to pretend this is a poorly received ending
>>291107175I wish I was just pretending
I'm just mad that an anime with visuals this good was wasted on this garbage writer
>>291106840Kota won
>>291106440>>291106611>>291106614I don't care as long as vampires are biting girls and drinking their blood. Vampire victims should be cute girls.
So, is there any yuri for fall 2026?
>>291104935Like the TTGL bittersweet ending with Nia getting eviscerated. Sure the in-universe explanation was fine but there was no reason it had to be written that way.
>>291107175It was a good show with and a strong first step for the studio showing off its producers talents as they swapped out for the episodes, and it flopped in the end. Its like if how i met your mother shit itself in the final moments.
So basically, these two made a huge dick move with this
>>291107467Mari and mermaid Lara are that. Mari and human Lara aren't.
>>291107442>how i met your motherThat shit got boring quickly
wish i could see chart of bluray sales sharply dropping off after todays date or stock prices lol?
>>291107440The problem is that the in-universe explanation was not perfectly fine it could have been done better, yet TTGL is still a great anime. >no reason it had to be written that way.At that point write your own stories for yourself/
>>291107408No it's actually really grim
>>291107366Ok, just don't get disappointed if it's not yuri
>>291107508Good thing fakeass yuri never sells
>>291107532>>291107408Sisters, you can get baited by >>291106269, looks yuri right? :)
>>291107499>Mari and human Lara aren'tAgain: what's the reasoning for that? Oh wait, there is none except for "bitter separation ending must happen, such masterful nipponese writing". These fucks are so lonely and cynical that even in their escapist media they can't portray two people staying together and being happy as a serious thing. Real = sad, that's about the extent of this whole obsession with separation endings.
>>291107554The west absolutelly sucks at writing as well, just look at stranger things
>>291107554Watch more anime.
>>291102654It looks like other japs think they dated in the six months lol
>>291107508I really the BD sales/stalker thread. It needs to come back. Any site that tracks BD sales?
>>291107554That is one of the many issues plaguing every type of media. "Realistic" is codeword for making it safe, bland, cookie cutter nonsense that conforms to the status quo no matter what. Imagination is not allowed. Bright colours aren't allowed (which is why human Lara is muted.) Only consuming on phone is allowed. Obey.
>>291107602*really miss
>>291107611>it didn't conform to my expectations so it's blandly following the status quoFart sniffing behavior
>>291107578it's just gajins coping by spreading lies as usual
>>291107602You can view the sales with oricon subscription which some people do and share the data on twitter, as for pre order sales the easiest way is to lurk around 2ch and chink websites. there is not a huge dip for this series after the final episode because it wasn't anything extraordinary in the first place
Lol
>>291107653Good. Worthless piece of shit deserves to flop hard
>>291107572Western TV writing has long had the issue that the writers only plan for one season at a time with no shits given what their endgame ought to be in case they get renewed, so they are constantly setting people up to get rugpulled. This applies to Netflixslop like Stranger Things as much as anything. What's Japan's excuse? This is a self contained standalone story, it's not trying to be franchise bait, and they spent a long time on its development.
>>291107467Cringe.
Why is Mari not scared of Lara?
The Tsukuyomi VR space opens this Friday, you can take refuge in some comfy escapism to forget about Lara.
>>291102754I've been wondering about the helicopter and its sound. It's the only thing I'm uncertain about.Maybe it's a nothingburger beyond what you've written here, but I might go rewatch the earlier episodes where it made its presence known.
>>291107688>it's not trying to be franchise baitIsn't it trying to sell the manga
>heh, if a show is doing badly in sales that proves me right for disliking itSalestards should kill themselves
>>291107688Even single seasons have shit endings, what's the west's excuse? Also not all of their series go forever, even stuff with less than 20 episodes has shit endings. > This is a self contained standalone story, it's not trying to be franchise bait, and they spent a long time on its development. Production committees and shit.
>>291105701I mean they paid to see this shit show early, they gave actually money for it. They have to find the bright side at least. Plus, I remember at least one of them did say to temper your expectations.
>>291102579Ikuhara only made 2 good series.
>>291107688Digital circus was planned since the beginning yet it ended up like garbage
>>291107732>They have to find the bright side at least.No. They don't. Even if you spend money to view it, you can still shit on it if it deserves it.
>>291107761We’re talking about nips here
>>291107715That's just an adaptation of the finished story to a different medium. If they gave it some cliffhanger ending to hint at a second season and then shat out a bunch of side projects about minor characters from the main story in an attempt to reel in different audiences, that would make it a proper franchise.
>>291107752I only saw three episodes of that. It just wasn't telling the story they wanted to tell well. Nothing felt like it flowed naturally, but had to happen because it has to happen.
yuristsers... what's the next yuribait original we are going to watch? grotesque OR Lona ?
>>291107812It still had a garbage ending, even worse than its earlier parts
>>291102456/pol/ niggers love this ending tho since it makes yuritroons (and almost everyone for that matter) seethe
>>291107824Vertex ForceJust kidding. It's hetshit
>>291107877>ShotaBVLL animePicked up.
>>291107877Hetkino but cgishit. We need hetkino but retrokino like Lara
>>291102456/pol/ loves seeing troons and fags seething at their own projections and fantasies being shattered by the average nippon anime director.
>>291107926Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2?
Thank god Lara decided to go completely against that evil witch's words, she died for nothing like she deserved.
>>291107848No one is seething about the ending though, that's why you're trying to force the narrative
>chocolate can is completely gone at the end, not in its usual place in Mari's room nor was Lara shown to have brought it with herI'm sorry Koide-sama, I will never try to be media literate again. I'll only engage with anime on the most surface level possible like Donut and his fellow shonenchads.
>>291107981What a meaningless death, what a worthless anime. At least I only wasted time
I knew all along the yurifags were only fair weather "fans" for as long as they were banking on a gay marriage ending, and all the threads since yesterday have proven me right.
The sisters also having such crazy energy at the end was jarring. Like Luna was fully aware of Lara's interest in humans and always addressed it with nonchalance but now she wants all humans dead? No build up?
>>291108075Local mermaids a bit miffed after being zombies for 200 years.
>>291108072The first half is permissable. The last 6 minutes don't make any coherent sense. That's just a general audience take not a yuri one.
>>291108088Not really, no.Are you projecting, perchance?
>>291108171>n-no youThen why are you having a meltdown about it? Why do you equate anime yuri with modern lgtbq slop. Do you associate yourself with that group?
>ending is bad because they didn't confirm the yuri
>>291108192Ending is bad because Lara randomly decided to leave for no apparent reasonEven if you don't like yuri and you think Lara and Mari are just superfriends it makes no sense after what she said in this very episode
>>291108185Wtf are you talking about, I just got here and that was my first post. I think you need a break, go touch grass
>>291108217Only trannies like you got focused so much on that line in particular. Now answer the question, lil bro.
>>291108215>randomly decided to leave for no apparent reasonHow many months are you going to spam this for?
Please do not give (You)s to the mentally ill
>>291108215you seem to be lacking media literacyno, i will not spoonfeed you
>>291108257Tell me why Lara left her "true love" and how it makes sense in this story after the literal previous scene
>>291108192>says no one but redditors itt seething about yuri for no reason
>>291108279Don't engage it. He's projecting his plans to spam the threads with whatever narrative he's trying to spin, just like he's done for other shows before.
I wrote I was expecting the threads to lose steam in 48 hours after the ending but I guess it's already happening. Not like there's anything more to say.
>>291108279No, just kill yourself shitposterSlit your wrists now
>show is entirely about two girls and them having a great relationship>"doesn't count, scraps">single line that can, with a lot of mental gymnastics imply having dated off-screen>"y-yeah w-won, please be angry"What is this mental illness?
>>291108233Kek ok keep thinking what you want then
>>291108304Retarded nigger
>>291108302/a/ is nothing more than a latrine for the abused children from /pol/ so a show like this has no life span beyond the shitpost addict adding it to his rotation
>>291108313So great that Lara left her to fuck off
>>291108309Tough and real showNot your typical yuriSorry, I forgot to mention this only applied to the last five minutes.
>>291108313Terminal reactionary brain rot, they only pretend to be anime fans to own the libs and so they only come to /a/ to shitpost. They're the ultimate tourists.
>>291108313You can completely remove Luca from the story and it would still be a shit storyThis ending being bad has nothing to do with muh yuri or muh het
There are increasingly less reasons to bother trying to have any meaningful discussions on /a/ and 4ch with the amount of shills, schizos and bots that run rampant here. But then again, the internet itself is dying for the same reasons. Dead Internet Theory is real.
>use Luca and dumb him>just abandon Mari after all she did for herWhy did Lara turn into a bitch in the last 5 minute?
>>291108345Nah you just have avoid popular stuff
>>291108314Seriously why did that line make you seethe so hard?
>>291108390Humans are vile just like Rowan warned her about.
>>291108313Keep coping.
>>291108399It didn't, i don't care.Narratively, though, it doesn't make sense for her to have that speech before dying and then have that ending
>>291108394and things that don't trigger culture war monkeys.
>>291108414>i don’t careSure you don’t lmaoWhat does live for laws mean to you?
>>291107442HIMYM had a completely different problem. They had a clearly set ending from the beginning, but over the 9 seasons and various extensions they ended up wandering away from it, which then made the OG ending feel jarring and rushed by the time they finally circled back to it. SayoLara, on the other hand, had just one job: don't fuck up the very predictable ending after mere 11 episodes of what was essentially a very straightforward story. There was a myriad ways how to make it work even in those last 6 minutes, but they still managed to fumble it.
>>291108425Go for loli
>Kaguya waits 8000 years>get rewarded with Iroha making her cyborg body and now they are just going around eating delicious food>Mari dies and come back for Lara>get rewarded by Lara giving her the middle finger and fucking off
>>291108482Mari only died for like two minutes, she's clearly not devoted to Lara at all.
>>291108462Fictional ones, right?
>>291108507... Yes, of course!
I can't even write "Lara owes Mari sex" in good faith like I did other times when a girl did so much for another girl e.g. Miorine owes Suletta sex (which she eventually did provide). I just hope Lara stays far away from Mari and that Mari finds a cute boxing gf.
>>291108482>cyborg body You got to watch the music video and read the sequel. She's a real human bean now, so much mother-daughter sex to go around.
>>291108482Neither have the gut to go full yuri.
>>291108560Yeah, Mari deserves better than an ungrateful slut
>>291108582It's a bio-robot body.
>>291108606Close enough. Iroha won't beat the allegations regardless.
The worst is that Lara lost her sparkle and optimism. I hate the new Lara.
>>291102754Gridman had a lot of such symbolism. Maybe you would enjoy that series too.
Lara lost all the love she had, and now she's left with being an average nip teenager (300 years old btw). Grim.
would've been better if they just go full deus ex machina and have Mari break the curse with the power of christ
>>291108662The curse was already brokenLara just decided to fuck off for no reason
Lmao artists are working overtime to fix this dogshit
>a girl that loves her>a family that adores her>friends that like her>basically free room & board >a job with growth prospects >leave it all and live alone elsewhere because ????Even if Lara became a selfish narcissist, it makes no sense to just leave.
Was there any other anime that crashed and burned in the last 5 minutes like this? Like, not even last episode, just last few minutes of the last episode.
>>291108771WE GOTTA BE INDEPENDENT ANON
>>291108812All the leftists on twitter are livid at having been yuribaited, this is to go even further beyond.
>>291108771B-but muh unique Japanese maturity folded a thousand times. You WILL be a generic wageslave, you WILL lose all your sense of wonder, and you WILL live in a tiny shoebox all alone.
>>291108870Retard, Lara was a wageslqve in shiga as well
>rating plummeted down from 8.08 to 7.87deserved
>>291103399Too bad the characters and writing of that series were so bad I dropped it with ep. 4. Maybe there will be a non-shit yuri next season.
>>291108870Anon are you implying the opposite is good? Look at our modern society, zoomer in their 20s are living with their parents playing video games all die. They never mature. We are doomed.
>>291108853But it is an example of what their ideals preach
>>291103572Korean women are woker than westerners. They're very different from Japanese women who mostly don't give a shit about politics and just enjoy drawing fanart and shipping.
>>291108892Yuribro here>>291106269. Will you watch it? No bait haha… surely haha
>redhead girl that actually married and stayed with her wife
Lara looks so sinister here
>>291108935She looks really depressed
>>291108930Yes
I'm seeing a ton of negative Japanese comments now, safe to say the ending is generally reviled.
Is Iroha going to fuck this baby?
>>291108962Yes, based groomer.
Lara is evil
>>291108930I give it a go. I never watch series for yuri or whatever alone so I am not too hesitant to try new things. I just hope the writing is more compelling, at least it also looks good.
>>291108962That baby groomed her first.
>>291106269what's this, i'll add it to my yuri watch list.
>>291108979>just hope the writing is more compelling,Reviews say that the 1st one is just a comedy, the 2nd one is just pure action(with minimal plot) and the 3rd one just characters interacting(to bait the yursloper since they are a vampire polycule) so Idk if you will like it for that unless you are a yuribro.
>>291108913This, you gotta live the big city experience
>>291108898Multiple generations living together and supporting each other was the standard way of living for thousands of years until the Industrial Revolution, where millions of people were forced to move away from their families and into the city slums to slave away at the newly constructed megafactories. The nuclear family is unironically a modern-day scam by the billionaire class.
>>291109009It’s like you’ve only read half what I’ve said. They refuse to mature.
>>291109003trve
>>291108978This anime will only be remembered for creating one of the worst anime characters of all time
Do I need to watch other Gundam shows before The Witch from Mercury?
>>291109056Average shonenshit character is probably worse
>>291108942>She looks really depressedyou can't even see her face retard
>Lesbian human fell in love with a hetero mermaid
>>291108978Lara didn't asked them to that for her.
>>291109064no
I find it funny how Japanese audience are trying to be as nice as possible in their criticism, while the chinks genuinely want the director dead.
>>291109153
>>291108988GROTESQQQUE
>>291109153Cuck>>291109161Also a cuck but much funnier
As we shitposting here the director is receiving shit ton of death threats from china.
>>291109086that's how depression is depicted in anime
>>291109153Cringe jap>>291109161BASED Chink
>>291109190chinks cant be based, just look at live leak
>>291109153>we've dated multiple timesBut people told me that that was a mistranslation?
>>291109153>>291109161chinese are very honest, kinda based desu, none of those honne and tatemae bullshit like japs
>>291109153Japanese only nice on the outside, the imageboard where you could anonymously shit on each other started in Japan first Japkeks are afraid of getting doxxed and bullied and their career destroyed.
>>291109153Japs are such bootlickers that they can't even dish out proper criticism
>>291109237They have their own version of social bullshit, they just don't care about nips.
>whole world united in praising Kaguya againThanks for the free publicity, mermaid cunt.
>>291109243>zoomer doesn't know about 2chan
>>291109269wholesome platonic bff anime!
>>291107902>CGIdropped
>>291109307This anime made me realize that I no longer care about animation so I am ok with cgi. I am finally a plotfag

Lol, Mari, she used your good will
>>291109386>Ninja Skooleryummy shotakino
Funniest yuricuck breakdowns from this show
....Did Luca just won....ned
>>291103092Don't forget the CTE from boxing
>>291105641Lara is straight. Still no explanation for why she didn't just date Mari instead and in the end her "true love" was proven to not be romantic anyway.
>>291109533Uuuh her light would kill Mari if she allowed herself to love her even though she already destroyed the dagger and there'd be no reason for it to form again.
>>291109153So the whole "it's a mistranslation" cope was wrong because nips also see it as her dating Luca for those 6 months? Lol
What do you think Koide is thinking right now?
>>291109296"You are so beautiful, I fell in love with you at first sight... platonically of course"
>>291109488He got dumped and abandoned in the end. So, he won about as much as Mari.
>>291109488>>291109471lol no>>291109561Killing himself
>>291109561"lmfao yuricucks"

Mochizou, Yuta, Majima, Shuuichi, Kai, Guel, Stark, Laios, Shuji and Luca won btw
>>291109559Yes, it was established 1 minute after that cope was posted.
>>291109685Not even grotesque?
>>291109706Chapter 33 of Mahoako then.
>>291109781Meant for >>291109717
Haven't actually watch it, heard about the ending. Does she at the very least say Sayonara Lara at the end?
>>291109805No, it ends on her happy cuck face right where you'd expect her to say it but it just fades to black.
>>291109819Oh, so it's not even a "haha funny" bad...
>>291109718Why do you keep thinking about men? Are you gay?
>>291109718
>>291109886Cute ojiwives
>Guel wonlol lmao
>>291109892But enough about idolmaster whores
>>291109932Going to watch this show to spam "malemc's wives" to piss off yuricuсks
>>291109161Chinese are just like that one half of Americans
>>291109969Take a guess who's the MC in that show.
>>291109981a man with a penis
>>291109718They did?
>>291109559Everyone could tell it was pure cope. That entire scene would make no sense otherwise.
>>291109969>>291109981>>291109990>>291110014You're an antiyurifag hiding behind your yuri slayers but this guy pisses you off very much?
>>291110021You replied to four different anons.
>>291110021who is that bro evenall me btw. good eye
I won
>>291109990Suletta is not that masculine!
>>291103991>Lara and Mari love each other but that alone isn't going to fulfill either of their livesWhy not? And why does that mean they have to live apart?
>>291110177Okay let's call the penis a tanuki's tail
>>291110177Suletta has some good futa art though.
lol
>>291100489By this point I wanna ask one thing... why not bring even Luna of all characters to make Mari happy at least? To ber her friend or whatever, just to not make her sad standing there all alone. Why they couldn't do it? Maybe she would be better than her ditching sister and she was meant to be in wheelchair before?? it's all so weird they didn't even used her much in anime and her other sisters. Like besides making them Lara's and Lisa's sisters what was the point of bringing them here anyways. If she had exact hated for humans like Lisa years later Mari could probably change it lolz
Suletta's penis just flew over my house...
>>291107743Well that's two more than Koide.
>>291101889We need this to come as a special for the blu ray to save this dogshit ending.
>>291110253Did you miss the part where they all fucking HATE humans?
>>291110489she's still better than Lara for sure tho
