Japan loved the ending and that's all that matters
Luca won
Fuck Leo
>Sayonara Lara MAL rating: 7.86 (and dropping fast)>Kamiina Botan: 8.13Yep, officially the best yuri anime of the year
So what was the point of the anime's Christianity?
>>291110672Lara isn't even yuri and Botan wasn't even best yuri of the season it aired in
Obligatory
>>291110712>wasn't even best yuri of the seasonThe fish yuri anime sucked ass, bro
If anything this got me to revaluate the safe, boring ending of NPSG
>>291101889>days pass and turn into weeks, Lara is still at Mari's side>Lara spent so much time holding Mari's hand that she became keenly familiar with all the calluses on her palm>Lara didn't want this>she didn't want to hurt Mari>she just wanted to see the world beyond her bubble>she comes to realize that she left Mari just like she left her family>always chasing something just out of reach>now, her family is sleeping at the bottom of the ocean, with hatred in their hearts>and the one who makes her heart ache so is sleeping in front of Lara, with loneliness in hers>Lara knows she's not the only one to blame>but that doesn't mean there's no blame on her>she squeezes Mari's hand tight, hoping for a fairytale miracle>like when Lara's love brought Mari back to her before>but she's only human now, there's no magic left in her>and no matter how far she goes, she will not find it>it's time for Lara to grow up>gently caressing Mari's sleeping face, she vows to never leave again>Lara will be there, always>she gives Mari a gentle kiss on the forehead>she knows Mari will be back>and Lara will be there to welcome her home

>>291110727You know ... when you put it like this in a vacuum it's not THAT bad ... but if you spend 10 episodes long showing a big boner sparkle that only kirakira's when Mari is involved as well as a convoluted sideplot of a reincarnated prince that only gets a limp sparkle ... as well as Lisa and Grace and .... Every character was filler.
Fucking kek

>>291110940https://pug.5ch.io/test/read.cgi/anime/1789924348everyone on 5ch understood it as "Lara and Luca dated a lot during the timeskip" so I'm thinking there's no mistranslation here and it's all western yuricuck cope
>>291111180she needs to find herself before settling down ;) she's a real woman who needs no romance and independent chud!
What did she die for?

>>291111237no one cares what time it is in your country, go back to eating curry
>>291111180Two possibilities One is she simply wants to explore more of the world now that she’s fully human and seemingly not on a timer anymore(if you read her texts the place she’s moving too is really not that far away). The other is that she’s still afraid that the dagger could still reemerge to try and eat Mari again.
>>291111194Nips understand the ending kek
>>291111180Because she felt like it
>>291111223Being the cause of everything that went wrong.

>>291111714>>291111729they going to fix it in the manga r-right?
>>291111841>mangaDepends. Are they going to hire an actual yuri mangaka, or are they going to go the CPK route and hire a manga author that has openly declared that they don't like yuri, and now fans of CPK are pretending that the manga doesn't exist?
>>291111771irredeemable and TERRIBLE one of worst main characters. Another non-coping yurifag here. Mari should never help her ngl
>>291111583If Grace married her sister, things would have gone much better for everyone
>>291110672Shitposting aside, I'm surprised how much of an active fanbase this has in Japanese. I still see a lot of fanart of it on my timeline.
lol!
It's sad when shitposters can't do anything except take screenshots of a different social media site in order to generate (You)s.
>>291111841>>291111860at this point it needs an OVA which confirms anons' theories how Human-Lara is completely miserable and devoid of feelings and she needs to reunite with Mari to get TRUE ENDING i.e. Lara back to halfmermaid and being baka, superbestfriends with Mari, Lisa and Kota learning to like humans, and Rowan & people awakening through Lala's love for humanity. I.e. still end somewhat wishy washy, but HAPPY ENDO
>>291111860They hired the author of Citrus+
>>291111860They hired Saburouta
>>291111983Honestly, we just need to see Lara reunited with Mari. It reminds me a lot of My Hero Academia - its ending was fucking ridiculous and memed into oblivion because it made the MC look like a fucking retard who abandons his friends and dreams to be a wageslave. Then the epilogue was released, which gave some actual context, and showed everyone being happy. Not the best ending overall, but decent.That's what Lara needs now.
The FFM novelist hire was the biggest RUN sign I’ve seen but yall gotta gamble kek
>>291111998>>291112032Okay but what if I don't like Citrus on a personal level despite being a fan of incest?
>>291111975>shitpostersI was rooting for this show. I'm simply venting my anger by collecting evidence of people shitting on the ending.
>>291112064Still yuri, still hope.
>>291112042I agree, this needs same treatement.
Anons, in your opinion did the imagery OP presented gel with the ending?
>>291112068>MerchThey're going to go the Bamco route where they soft-backtrack on the "just being friends" statement and sell an acrylic stand that suggests that they canonically married
>>291111945I'm sure you're super surprised about that extremely active fanbasefor every 1 lara jp fanart there's 100 new kaguya ones
>>291112169I'm talking about Botan fanbase...
>>291112187It's so fucking funny to me honestly.We can find better and gayer works out of China despite it being illegal in said country.Japan, despite being the so-called source of yuri, can rarely shit out a good yuri original. Japan's still so hilariously socially conservative that more often than not, their so-called yuri works end up being subtext.
>>291112187But what if it’s not actually an ltbg anime…
>>291111921>ruins her family and dumps them >keeps leading Luca on then dumps him>Mari is her true love, declares she doesn’t want to live in the world without her, then dumps her without any explanation after Mari had nearly died for her>freeloads off Mari’s family then dumps them without any explanation >declares she’d die for cake, drops the bakery job like a bad habit What the fuck is her problem?
>>291112286She became human…
>>291112245>their so-called yuri works end up being subtext.The worst part is that Japanese yuri fans just end up accepting this because they're generally just cucks to the corporation.>The ending was dogshit? Damn. But I can't be rude about it so I'm going to be veeeeeeeery aroundabout about my criticism while pretending that I actually liked it
>>291112245>being illegal It's not. The only ones that got clapped were some crazed BL and male idol fanbases that were being leveraged like a cult to get political influence.
>>291112245Why isn't this a problem for yaoi?
>>291112329Because yaoi is more profitable, unironically
>>291112326several yuri chink manga that got somewhat popular SUDDENLY would start going for just friends route. And some of the authors would at some point mention they had no choice. Don't be dumb.

Once he wakes up and find out his daughter prefers humans.
>>291112146The thing is, Bamco’s statement was completely meaningless for anyone not terminally online. The anime showed Sulemio as a married couple with rings, so the vast majority of the audience got the original message either way. Here, on the other hand, they’d have to retcon the show itself.
>>291112379>several yuri chink manga that got somewhat popular SUDDENLY would start going for just friends routeThat didn't actually happen.
God bless the chinese. It's sickening how apologetic and wishy washy every japanese comment is
>>291112379>that got somewhat popular SUDDENLY would start going for just friends route. And some of the authors would at some point mention they had no choiceWtf I love chinks now!
>>291112401ok zhang.

>>291112286>ruins her family and dumps themAnon the only one who died was Gon-Chan who probably didn’t have much longer to live anyway.
>>291112457There's nothing vague about KaguyaThere's not even a male love interest in it
>>291112573even that is wishy washy by kicking out integrated residents one day, and then make another deal for 1 million immigrants the next.
>Expecting yuri anime girls to ever date, kiss or fuck or even look at each other with sexual attraction Lol lmao even
>>291112245There are more explicit yuri from Japan than from Chinland, you are just too much of a faggot to read manga.
>>291112616Regardless nips are conservative across the board and not just on immigrants.
>>291112431This has been done to death years ago. One author had a chronic illness, which shitposters started saying they were disappeared. Another found the publisher they were under too restrictive, so they axed their series and started over with another publisher with more open rules.Chink yuri has more kisses and sex than most nip Yuri that isn't outright smut. They are usually more explicit about being lesbians than the average wishy-washy "I'm only gay for you" stuff you find in manga.If it was illegal, the government would not only wipe all baihe off the map, they would also block it from being seen from outside of China. Yet here we are in reality where you can read the raws of hundreds of baihe works from half a world away, no account needed. Sorry NED shill, but you are wrong.
>>291112551LisaKota is yuri
>>291112638Half of the yuri manga are just softcore porn.
>>291112559You can fall in love with people platonically
>>291112664But enough about Lara and Luca
>>291112660Softcore is where the best authors lurk, unironically
>>291111921>that faceless Lara through the glass leaving Mari behindMight be the single most kinographic sequence in the entire anime. Heavy, melancholic, ominous and ambiguous.
Do you guys want yuri or lesbian representation
>>291112660Anime nigga. Anime. Yuri manga and LNs are like a completely different world. Vague shits generally don't even work there.
>>291112664Can I fall platonically in love with you specifically because YOUR FACE is beautiful? Because that's the actual quote.
Kota won
>>291112653>Male va in both languages>looks like a male>never said to be anything else
>>291112660I mean, so are almost every het romances. Cherry picking yuri for being softcore porn is just pretending to have standards when you can criticize het romances for the same shit.
>>291112704>yuriYes, I would like more special relationships between girls, whatever form that takes.>lesbianSure. Girls that are explicitly sexually attracted to other girls is welcome as well.
>>291112704I just want anime girls to kiss and give each other lustful looks, but that is apparently too strange and too much to other yurifags considering how easily they get satisfied by various scraps.
ending sux
>>291112747>Goku has a female VAGoku x Chichi is yuri by your standards
>>291112747Kota is shown to be 100% female, are you doubting biology?
>>291112762I'm not criticizing yuri tho?
>>291112704>yuri or lesbian representationThese are mutually inclusive and any attempts to separate the two is just coping that the so-called yuribait work is actually yuri.
>>291110608japan also loves NTR, what's your point?
>>291112807Apparently tomboys and bokukkos are men now according to anon.
>>291112773Is Your Name not straight romance by your standard?
>>291112805>has never kissedChecks out all the necessary yuri checkboxes
>>291111841>>291111860>>291111983>>291111998>>291112032Pretty sure it doesn't matter who they get for the manga. If the committee doesn't allow it, it won't happen.
>>291112807Unless it was stated officially it's deluded headcanon. They even came out and said Leo was a trap.
>>291112329>>291112359I don't think that's true. I don't see yaoi anime existing on the same scale as yuri anime.
I think the real issue everyone has with this ending is the perspective. Yes, Lara's journey demands that she be more independent, which is what she does throughout the story. From that point of view, her leaving is not a major surprise; she wants to experience the world, etc. But this narrative completely leaves out Mari. Mari's the opposite - she was as free as you can be, because she has nothing other than her immediate family. No friends, no lovers, no hobbies besides boxing, no major ambitions. And that left her empty and lonely. But Lara gave Mari purpose. Mari was trying to be the strongest for Lara. She did so much for Lara, and even ended up dying for her. But then, her tragedy is ignored. Lara leaves, despite not having much of a reason, and doesn't even reassure the girl that she will come back. From Mari's perspective, this is not a happy ending. It's just someone close to her leaving her again. Is "her everything" not good enough? Is it her fate to always be a side character in someone else's story?The problem here is not Lara, it's Mari.
>>291112905Because you don't consume yaoi bruh
>>291111945JPfags just like pinksluts.
>>291112245based
>>291112844Surprisingly enough, there are actually femGoku x Chichi works out there. Didn't expect that, a welcome surprise.
>>291112914I'm aware of what airing anime are popular each season
>>291112927I honestly feel like the fact that gay romances are illegal there is forcing their fujos to write them better just to get away with it compared with Nips and their seasonal mediocrity
>>291112968I feel like the chink writing is often garbage,
>>291112805Female seiyuu are known for playing male characters. There's also purposefully androgynous characters who get played by women. But when you have men voicing a character who looks like a dude and there's no indication of otherwise, there's no reason to be confused. Otherwise you'd get a girl seiyuu to give some ambiguity. After this ending idk how people think the writers really cared about yuri.
>>291112245>We can find better and gayer works out of China despite it being illegal in said country.Name 50 original chinese yuri anime
>>291112359Ehh, yaoi doujin and yaoibait anime are more profitable. Actual yaoi anime is even rarer than yuri nowadays. There are like 7 full length yaoi anime in the past 6 years, in comparison, we got 6 full length yuri anime in the past 12 months, and that's only counting one that are officially labelled as yuri.
>>291112704I'm fine with either as long as the girls are getting dicked straight in the process of the story.
>>291112968>gay romances are illegal>Citation Needed
>>291112927>>291112968Yuri manga is way better yuri manhua though
>>291112652>. They are usually more explicit about being lesbians than the average wishy-washy "I'm only gay for you" stuff you find in manga.So it's lgbtq garbage trying to appeal to the west? Also I don't get how people can stand the garbage webtoon format , it's pure slop.
>>291113147>Citation NeededNext you're going to ask for proof that Americans aren't retards who would fellate Logan Paul on sight
>>291112968>seasonalWhy are you comparing chink comics with japanese anime instead of japanese manga?
>>291112638That happens in actual yuri anime like Simoun.
>>291113280Because Jap yuri mangas eventually get axed after 3-4 chapters while mid Chink yuri manhuas can keep trudging on with a budget of four taco bell crunchwraps per month.
How the fuck do you even argue that lesbians are somehow illegal in Japan when pic related aired last year to massive acclaim and commercial success? The entire show consisted entirely of raging lesbians out to scissor the feMC like their survival depended on it. No holds barred, from kissing to straight-up sexual assault. This is something you could never do in China or Korea.What they did here was not forced by anyone, unless the Shiga Prefecture tourism board hired the yakuza to defend their heterosexual honor.
>>291113316For 1) most yuri manhuas are just asset flips, where you don't even have to draw shit, they could be ai generated and for 2) there are plenty of yuri manga that don't get axed. Why are you here if you don't read shit?
>>291112968>chink writing>good
>>291113352Even this season we have Kimishinu where the girls kiss in the first episode.
I hope Lara's train derails and she's killed in the crash.
>>291112310Or maybe the japs can just watch the yuri that has not subtext
Japan simply isn't the place to look for good yuri works. If you want great gay media, look for it in a place where they're incentivized to write them great to survive. Nips are too kind to criticize their own dogshit works to make good stories.
>>291111030KEK
>>291112638
>>291113411>Japan simply isn't the place to look for good yuri works>t. has not read yuri mangaAnd western gay media is pure garbage m3dpd shit, keep that to yourself.
>>291113411>Nips are too kind to criticize their own dogshit works to make good stories.So if you hate all anime/manga why are you here? Haibane Renmei is better written than any chink/gook cartoon/comic
>>291113421Class S
>>291113393I hope she gets shanked in an alley, that dirty whore
>>291111044This lends credence to the idea that the ending was forced by a committee. On top of everything, what was the point of mentioning that Lara dated Luca on and off in those 6 months?
>>291112927soulless >>291113421soul
>>291113124Is yaoibait anime even popular anymore? I see more yuribait anime nowadays.

>>291113590>shitty ai generated manhua slop >soullol
>>291111194I guess 5ch has more honest, unfiltered Japanese opinions. Nips are probably too non-confrontational to trash the anime directly on the official twitter account.
Genuine question, does people here even read manga? Because people keep posting about how JP media won't commit when there is a ton of yuri manga out there where characters kiss in the first few chapters.
>>291113579I mean yeah, it was amazing, but how many more straight romances was also amazing in that same season? In that same year?You'd need ten whole more hands to count that. Meanwhile you can count how many great if not decent yuri works are made every year with just one hand.Just because you and I liked something doesn't mean that it's indicative of nationwide trends.
Why is this thread suddenly sucking of chinkshit? Their stuff is pure garbage. Doesn't even come close to the best of anime/manga. Hell their best comics were made back when they were copying manga.
>>291110940I trust the nips on this one, Luca penetrated Lara
>>291113655They're talking about anime originals obviously
>>291113671If you haven't noticed, this is pretty much just a bait thread full of shitpost.
>>291113688Wrong, they were comparing chink manhuas with jap manga, dishonest-kun. And talking shit about jp media in general
>>291112807Kota is a big boy
>>291113683No doubt about that
>>291113373Interesting how you haven't backed any of your claims up, saar
Why isn't this thread sucking of chink kino more? Their stuff is pure gold. Surpasses even the best of anime/manga. Hell their worst comics were made back when they were copying manga.
>>291113715Don't take the retarded chink shill too seriously
>>291113737Just look at chink manhuas, all the digital assets are obvious. Should I name all the yuri manga that have lasted for more than 3 chapters? it's extremely easy.
>>291113683Countless times
>>291113778>all the digital assets are obviousNip manga is filled to the brim with them too. You have no argument.
>>291113671Heck yeah, say the truth JSDFsis!
>>291113737name 1 manhua artist on par with Taniguchi Jiro
What's causing this is that one pathetic, and frankly malevolent, "public display of affection" concept. What a bizarre notion; discouraging people from proclaiming their romance like it's a victory over life. As one should.Nips take manners way way too far. Us Americans could stand to up the manners game a notch or two, sure, but the nips ABSOLUTELY need to take the manners game down a notch or three.
The manga will have MariLara as endgame (explicit) but Lara will fuck Luca a couple of time before finding out she's a lesbian (you know comphet and everything).
What did she die for
>>291113852Kino
>>291110608Was it a Barbie movie kind of ending? Does she leave to get her vagoo checked out?
>>291113852Also hafu baby on the way
>>291113857The same thing Mari died for.
>>291111610>Luca won>Shuichi won>Majima wonWhat have Yuricucks ever wonned?
>>291113819Not as much as manhua though, which are always fucking tracing 3d assets, you can't fin 1 that isn't doing it. And the digital coloring is so fucking garbage +panel format makes everything look like shit. You will never get a manhua that looks like pre-digital berserk because all the artists are hacks. For a manga that is closer to our subject, read Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou and look how absolute gorgeous the line art and backgrounds are, they give a feeling that can't be replicated in manhuaslop.
>>291113411>posts soulless gacha slop
>>291113530Or they never excised that part of the story after changing the concept trailer idea for het romance.
>>291113831>coping this hardStill can't deny the truth, where is the chink Lotgh or Texhnolyze? Oh wait... nowhere lmao
>>291113688There are some yuri originals that make it pretty clear that they are yuri.
>>291113671Chinks can only copy japanese ideas and aesthetics but with no meaning behind it
>>291113958>chink LotghI'm no expert but I'm sure Chang must've wrote something very similar like 50000 years ago
>>291113857>>291113893So nothing?
>>291113989This.
>>291113857If she didn't give Lara the potion in the first place so she could live through her and fuck a blonde prince none of this would have happened.
>>291113628yes there's that but also they are generally affraid of expressing negative opinions (especially when they could be controversial) on non-anonymous websiteshere are yesterday's 2chan threads if anyone's interested: https://futabaforest.net/b/res/1436266036.htmhttps://futabaforest.net/b/res/1436284258.htm
>>291113919>Not as much as manhua thoughDubious, not an argument, and also moving the goalpost.Using assets != Your claim of using AI to draw entire manhua.Provide proof.
>>291114001Yeah I am sure, I've read chink books but I was talking in terms of animation, you know 1 of the subjects of the board.
>>291111583Grace literally ruined Lara's , Mari's and all the ningyo's lives with her fucking around with humans. Not only she had to fail miserably and get her sister killed but also groomed Lara into making the same mistakes and made everyone miserable
>>291114037>Dubious,It's not dubious at all, when literally almost every manhua does it but I've named manga examples that don't. >Your claim of using AI to draw entire manhua.Never said that the manhua are ai generated, just that they are so low effort that they could be.
>>291113983Such as...
>>291114103>when literally almost every manhua doesAnd yet not a single shred of evidence has been produced by you outside of>trust me bro
>>291112575Anime originals have never been yuri, that's why you have to watch adaptations.>>291112405What do chinks think about actual yuri manga adaptations? Are they popular?
>>291114103>Never said that the manhua are ai generated>>291113373>1) most yuri manhuas are just asset flips, where you don't even have to draw shit, they could be ai generated inb4 "t-thats someone else!" defense
>>291114133>And yet not a single shred of evidence has been produced by you outside ofYes your very eyes, look at any manhua and you'll notice it. There are even memes about that like this 1
>story was never yuri>retards try to force their view just because the leads are two girls>as expected the ending not only isn't yuri, but one of the girls has dated a guy by the time it's over>delusional fags still pretend that the story did a 180 and they should've kissed or some shitlmao it happens every single time. imagine if that happened with every male - female leads story, to expect a kiss or some bs, you would be called a retard for that
>>291114172Yes that's my post,>they could be ai generatedI used in the sense of "it's so low effort that you might as well use ai to generate it"
>>291114093This is why the backstory made me feel nothing for her. Why did she even cut Lara's tongue?
>>291110712True, the Fighting Game Yuri show was better.
>>291114215>This retard can't even tell Korean from Chinese Saar, it's time for you to go to sleep.
>>291114121>>291113308
>>291114187there's nothing in the show that contradicts this interpretation btw
>>291114242The ending is shit even if it's supposed to be friendship. Lara basically fucked over Mari's life and then peaced out.
>>291114242The ending still sucks
>>291111347At least Eric confessed instead of leave it ambiguous. Even a fucking parody is better than the official ending
So, did the director succeed at making it "not your typical yuri" like he said he would?
>>291114243Pathetic excuse. You don't say "you don't have to draw shit" if you really meant that it's just low effort.Just give your concession and move on, saar.
>>291114277Simoun was 20 years ago... Yuri truly has regressed
>>291114254It's the same shit, gooks/chinks draw the same slop( I was curious if you would notice lol) but even gook fags consider them inferior to their manhwa and that is saying something. Literally open any chink manhua and 99% of the time you will see the exact same shit. Hell post your favorite one.
>>291114352It turned out pretty typical of anime originals.
>>291114352Not really, since it's pretty easy to pull up yuri works where one of the girls sleeps with men, treats the other like shit, and disappears from their lives without notice.
Literally nothing worse than chink apologists in yuri threads.please bully me villainess was like the one enjoyable chink yuri, and it's just been spiraling into mediocrity for a while now.
>>291114242Lara was a terrible friend to Mari by the end, so it's still shit. In fact, Mari just got shafted this whole show, her situation only got worse since meeting her.
>>291114354Sorry if you can't read into he context. What concession should I accept when manhuas are still garbage compared to manga? Why can't they draw better and write better plots to compete with manga?
>>291112245Yuri is western degeneracyYaoi is Japanese tradition
>>291114352I suppose he did, he made it the "typical western whore" story instead
>>291114187Nips don't fuck around
>>291114246she just wanted to do a bit a trolling.
>>291114374There is also Valkyrie Drive
>>291114394Is it? I'm actually struggling to think of one in the past 10 years.
>>291112584There are two male love interests in Kaguya. Their love interests are each other.
>>291114352No mention of romance or loveWas the yuri part even accurate
>>291114406>My dumb mermaid ran away from home for the 15th time, I miss Gon-chan...
If yaoi is more popular than yuri why does it rarely get any originals or adaptions
>>291114381>It's the same shit.>>291114413>Why can't they draw better and write better plots to compete with manga?>red herring fallacy Stop. Don't embarrass yourself further dragging that goalpost behind you. For your sake, just stop
>>291112187Out of main three asians chinese are probably the gayest asian ethnicity. Just look at Taiwan you would realise how big of a globohomo faggot they are. I only finds ccps only redeeming quality in putting their freaks into the firewall.
>>291114500because it's notpure homo cope(there's one homo that's 24/7 online in /a/ that loves to pretend yaoi is more popular than yuri)Literally the last relatively popular yaoi anime was yuri on ice and that shit was a literal decade ago.
>>291112405Cope wumao
>>291114448Probably meant it in the old meaning of yuri, which include any media that focus on the intimate relationship between girls that goes beyond simple friendship whether it's romantic or otherwise. It's why a lot of older anime are considered yuri despite them being subtext at best by today standards.
>>291110608OP is a retarded faggot. The ending was pure dogshit.
>>291114187Nice theory and it fits with the idea of yuri being a phase. I take it as canon
>>291114511>>It's the same shit.It literally is. Chinese otome manhua literally copy the same buildings as the korean manhwas. Stop being blind. >>red herring fallacyYou started the discussion by claiming they are better writers but fine. Let's test if your favorite manhua is free of those assets. Name it.
>>291114500The whole "Yaoi is more popular than yuri" is only a half truth. The area where Yaoi sell more is basically just porn and fan work of non-explicit yaoi anime. Explicit SFW yaoi manga and anime are not really that big.
>>291110696Something something defeating death? Who knows. As always, them Japs use Christianity as something that is either aesthetic or just fundamentally misunderstood. The only unironically Christian anime I've ever seen is probably Nobody's Boy Remi. And maybe Sonny Boy? In a very vague and subtle way?
>>291114246Because the mermaid was mute in the original story. Sure, there was no story justification for it in Lara, but who cares. Just look at the references and consoom.
>>291112644>nips conservative meme le tradFell for it again award
>>291110608Japan is patient with all kinds of retardation or straight up menaces and even praises dogshit that hates fans like Kizuna, so they can be wrong, especially about supposed yuri.
Japan also loved the new Nanoha which was dogshit.
>>291113891aren't Lara and Luca both white ?>But Luca is from Jap-It doesn't mean he's asian
>>291113564Yaoibait is all over the place, there are several every season, it's just limited to historical or otherwise complete dogshit shows you wouldn't even look twice at. Nobody talks about them here but if you visit an Animate store it's almost hilariously segregated with an entire wing dedicated to fujos. You obviously never see it discussed here but I think it probably helps that they are usually ensemble series with a huge cast of potential pairings, rather than a traditional romance with an obvious heroine and sole love interest. That sort of structure is more common in yuribait and naturally generates huge shitstorms when they inevitably pussy out
>>291114634>It literally isProvide proof that Chinese and Korean are the same thing.>Name it.The burden of proof is on you, saar.
>>291111180She has to travel to find herself. :))Live Laugh Love, am I right, besties???
>>291114352lmao the western magazine that probably purposefully mistranslated the director?
>>291110696Lazarus syndrome done poorly.
>>291114747Considering "yuribait" kaguya has been the most popular anime original related stuff outside of the top 1 shouneshit in a while, not sure why take that as truth. Lycoris Recoil also did crazy numbers, what is this yaoibait you're talking about?
>>291114500Because yaoi moved to live action just like shoujo
>>291110608Is there any community which purity spirals as hard as the yuri communityYou guys think everything that doesn't pander exactly to you and wrap everything up in a neat little bow is shit
>>291114741He probably meant hafu mermaid hafu human
>>291114321With the way Mari was breaking down, I think she might have confessed sometime during the timeskip. Lara then proceeded to not give her a response, and used moving away as a nonverbal rejection.
Man this was a legit bait series. When was the last time yurifags had this kinda meltdown?
>>291114696The Nippon Kaigi is on power. And if that wasn't enough, most otakus are chuds
>>291114771>Provide proof that Chinese and Korean are the same thing.Easy The Demonic King Chases His Wife uses the same assets that are available to both koreans and chinese. >The burden of proof is on youI am just curious about your favorite manhua. >saar saar saarWho do you think reads all these garbage power fantasies found in manhua?
>>291114747what are you even talking about? Most fujos don't even watch actual yaoibait, yaoi ships of shounenshit characters are more popular in japan than either yaoi or yaoibait.
>>291114858Lara has sex with Luca while Mari watches from the cuck chair
>>291113886I can't believe I'm going to bat for fucking Barbie, but that movie earned its separation ending 100%. Barbie rejected her expected fate of dating Ken from the very beginning and her existential questions required her to move on from being a static doll and becoming a real human. Ken was self-destructively defined by his innate obsession to prove himself to Barbie and by the end he learns he is more than that and can have his own friends and interests.Lara would still annoy me for yuribaiting if it similarly earned its ending rather than shitting it out of nowhere like they did, but it would at least be more acceptable if Lara was always shown pushing back against the idea of having to find true love and Mari was shown broadening her interests and circle of friends so that it was clear she'd be fine even without her. Rather than being chill and wearing the "I am Kenough" shirt, Mari ends up like K looking at the giant hologram of Joy after losing her.
>people barely even talking about the ending anymore>DUDE URE ALL MELTY STILL!!?who set this bot up
>>291114831>Lazarus syndromeShoujo is slowly coming back to anime, we even got one by the code geass director.

>>291114918This is still the 2nd fastest moving thread on /a/ desu
>>291114874Remember that you said:>>291114103>literally almost every manhua does it Provide a substantive amount of evidence to back up your claim. One isn't sufficient, since you yourself said "literally almost every". Get to it, I'll wait for the list with citations.
>>291114946And? actually read the thread.
>>291114946That just shows how dead /a/ is when not necrobumping week old generals.
>>291114920As you say, slowly and mostly from foreign pressure because female weebs left anime for k-shit in the 10s and western execs don't want anime to be associated with chuds only. About BL, we got Tadaima Okaeri not so long ago. You wish Lara and Mari could have children. Some seasons ago we got a BL isekai with a salaryman fucking a bishie at the early episodes when Mari didn't even get a kiss
Can somone explain why Lara became such shitty cold bitch after timeskip especially to Mari but also to Luca?A moment before in grand finale she said that she wants to be with Mari forever and she's the only one for her as reasoning go to be there on surface.And 6 months later, she leaves Mari, acts like indiferrent cold bitch to her, we learn she also toyed with Luca and dumps him in the end.What changed?Director or writer or executive intervened?
>>291114918holy cope kek
>>291114988>As you say, slowly and mostly from foreign pressureNo, I think from actual possible gains because of apotechary diaries.
>>291114739>lovedhow do you love a series and make 0 fan content for it again?
>>291114988>chudsI like shoujo but can we stop with this weird zoomer leftist terminology and all of this trash. Why can't we talk like human beings even here on /a/?
>>291115005Mermaid Lara sacrificed her ability to love to save Mari. Human Lara is now what remains, and you are probably familiar with how a person who lacks the ability to love acts.In terms of production, I'll go with either a writer hijacking the last 10 minutes to take a shit on the studio floor, or executive meddling.
>>291114747What yaoibait are you talking about?
>>291114960>Provide a substantive amount of evidence to back up your claim.Easy, every manhua I've checked has looked like that so in conclusion they all do lol. Also funny how now you ask for evidence when you never provided any for your 2 claims either.
>>291114988>tadaima okaeri is a BL, ABO>ABONo, I actually wouldn't wish this on the shittiest yuri anime original out there.
The epilogue is so disjointed from the rest and deliberately bleak and spiteful that I'm starting to believe in some schizo conspiracy theory about the committee forcing the anime staff to include it
>>291115005She was already show red flags with her screaming at Luca to become her lover. All the mermaids are kinda bipolar
>>291115093>every manhua I've checked has looked like thatAnd yet not a single list exists to prove it. I'm getting tired of this, so last (You). Savor it.
>>291114696Japanese people are liberal when it comes to personal autonomy but socially they're still deeply conservative. They're about as pro-hierarchy and pro-status quo as you can get. They don't really care if you want to chop your dick as long as you don't disturb social harmony aka "keeping that shit to yourself" That's why they have some of the highest acceptance of homosexuality in the world yet gay marriage is still illegal.

Using the same logic you can't claim that the majority of media is bad... because there is no list with the majority of media. Anyways go back and enjoy your chink shit.
>>291115193She just look bored and annoyed to me
You are laughing, the chinks are planning to murder the director, and you are laughing?
>>291114739Never watched the new one but Nanoha A is KINO.
>>291115193Looked suspiciously like a smirk to me when she got on the train
>>291115119Yeah, no wonder many humans hates mermaids here. No matter what, but if someone like Lara would left me on Mari's place I would probably regret even helping her lol
>>291115223Nanoha A was 20 years ago....
>>291115211yes
>>291110727How can the writers respond to this without sounding mad?
Lara looked so happy here with the person she loves, what the fuck did happen?
Okay I'll say it, Lara was prettier as a mermaidHuman Lara is ugly as fuck
>>291115211they're all bark no bite, even Japan knows it already.

Don't directors and writers feel any kind of obligation to the hundreds of people who poured enourmous amount of hard work into their anime? Don't they realize that some moronic decision on their part that everyone can instantly tell is retarded can singlehandedly nullify all that effort, since no matter how good the show looks if the audience hates the story they'll hate everything about the anime? I can't wrap my head around how so many original anime put zero thought into the most crucial decisions and ruin everyone's work.

I hadn't intended to comment on the finale of *Sayonara Lala*, but it’s been nagging at me, so I’ll just say one thing.The director claimed they intended the story to be "very simple"—a tale of a girl named Lala growing up, culminating in her independence. However, framing the premise around "searching for true love" feels like a massive case of misleading the audience.Going from a premise of "searching for true love" to a conclusion of "independence" is a jarring, abrupt shift—especially since it happens suddenly in the twelfth episode.If Lala had at least consciously explored "how she wanted to live" along the way, I could have accepted it and thought, "Oh, so that's the kind of story this is." Instead, the narrative was constantly obsessed with "I must find true love; I'm running out of time," making it seem like anything but a story about independence.To suddenly pivot to "I'm becoming independent" in Episode 12 feels like a huge letdown. If they had just depicted the psychological process leading to that realization, I could have been convinced.Personally, I could foresee and understand an ending where she breaks free from the "True Love = The Law" paradigm. But because they forced that shift in so abruptly in the final episode, I’m left feeling unconvinced and unsatisfied.I didn't need this show to be a *yuri* romance; I would have been happy with a satisfying conclusion even without a "girls' love" ending. But simply tossing aside the theme of "love" in favor of "independence"—effectively saying "romance had nothing to do with it"—just left me thinking, "What on earth?"If it was meant to be a story about independence, why mislead us with romance in the first place? I really wish they had shown the process of that evolution.
>>291115829This is from a yuri author.
>>291114911>if Lara was always shown pushing back against the idea of having to find true loveAll the shitposting about yuri vs antiyuri helped me understand what the show is about. Fixating on "love" is a narrow-minded way of thinking. The mermaids are obsessed with farming light since they need to sustain their kingdom while humans can just do whatever. Even Mari whose main thing is boxing also had Gon-chan(RIP). I think the ending at least makes sense for Lara even though Mari gets shafted.
>>291113662>how many more straight romances was also amazing in that same season? In that same year?>You'd need ten whole more hands to count that.Such as? There's like only Toumei Otoko to Ningen Onna and Otome Kaijuu Caramelise.
In Japan platonic love is considered to be greater than romantic love
>>291115761Kaguya is bait series with a nothing burger dogshit ending
Shitposter is still mad about Kaguya being the most popular yuri of the year.
>>291115800it's yuri and gay thoughbeit
>>291115783Doesn't matter, cultivation harem/isekai is massive in china too
>>291115874That's cool, but the show isn't actually about that until the last ten minutes. I agree with >>291115829
THE KAGUYACHUDS WON'T STOP BULLYING US, LARASISTERS
>>291115894learn to take an L lil bro
>>291115894But enough about Larashit
>>291115897seamonkey you yourself is a delusional shitposter.
>>291115904Cultivation is repetitive slop as well just slightly better but my point is they influence what anime gets produced. We could have more interesting manga get adapted or originals if it weren't for them.
>>291115884>In Japan platonic love is considered to be greater than romantic loveGreat but why it is always used for girl x girl relations as excuse to not make them romantic?Works were guy and girl happen aren't ending it with lets not date and just be platonic friends cause that is strongest love in universe reasoning.Kaguya, Madoka and now this Lara shit.
>>291115927Both are yuribait. Botan Kamiina is the actual yuri AOTY
>>291115964>MadokaMadoka was never yuri and was an extremely plot focused series rather than romance.
Kaguya is yuri.Lara is not.
>>291115947GOOD MORNING SAAR
>>291115988You are delusional
>>291115965Ibuki is such a boring heroine tho, Botan should've fucked Kanade or Akane instead
>>291115988cope>>291115996trvke
>>291115965Botan also didn't have any kiss or intimacy, so it's not yuri according to your logic.
>>291116014It was genuinely never yuri and I am saying this as someone that has nothing against yuri.
Name all the actual yuri anime ever made. All of them.
>>291116054but you've been shitposting and baiting yurifags since yesterday
>>291115947>you yourself is a
>>291115996Cope. Both are bait and ended like shit.
>>291116092I haven't. Not everyone you dislike is the same person.
hetfags with their unoriginal bait
>>291116098giga copium
>>291116111sure you haven't
>>291116142Yes, how can I prove it to you?
If you have to ask if something is yuri or not, it's not yuri.
>>291115988>Madoka was never yuri and was an extremely plot focused series rather than romance.Buitcher officially said that Homura love for Madoka is platonic and is even stronger than Sayaka romantic love for Kyousuke.So yeah you get that excuse used.
Yurifags explain to me why is your heroine dating my boy luca? Didn't you people say it's a yuri anime?
Miss that schizo guy. He must be enjoying yurifags getting ass raped again.
>>291116207Luca is much girlier than Mari.
Madoka? Yuri. Always has been. Always will be.How can it not be? It literally centers itself on a girl whose special relationship with another girl she met by chance causes her whole life, countless timelines, and ultimately the entire universe, to go completely sideways.That's pretty firmly yuri.Lara is bad yuri. It was about the special relationship between two girls, but then it faceplanted at the finish line.
>>291116191Ok but I am talking about the show itself without the writer's input.
>>291115965If you exclude episode 3 then maybe it has a shot at contending for AOTS
>>291116216Speaking of schizos, A*K bailed from this pretty early, I haven't seen him around since episode 7 or so. Good for him.
>>291116233GIGA TRVKEanyone who disagrees is either coping or baiting
>>291116216I'm glad he's dead and I pray to god you're next.
It's still funny to me they went out of their way to show nothing happened between Lara Mari in those six months and Luca is still her romantic interest kek
Kaguya wonLara lost
>>291116270Yeah he tends to avoid good shows
>>291116371He's usually worse at detecting fake yuri. Gridman had waaaaaaaaay less bait than Lara and still he kept clinging to it until the movie BTFO him.
>>291116270He's been busy in Madoka threads
lmao
>>291116345There's honesty no explanation for this other than open hostility to the yuri audience. No other reason to go out of their way to specify that Lara kept trying to date him even after it didn't work during the show.
>>291110608See, I dropped this trash at episode three so I won't pretend to know the full context, but seeing you all having a minor spam fit I have to ask, why are you niggas so assmad? >show's called Sayonara Lara (sayonara means goodbye)>Lara went goodbyeIt delivered exactly what it promised.
>>291116484kek 110% accuracy
>>291116516
>>291116484This is how I felt watching the timeskip epilogue.Like director showed a middle finger to fans of this work.
>>291116484It's okay, boxing will never betray Mari. Just kill her slowly while turning her brain to mush.
>>291116496Holy based
>>291112329eh, there's still baity stuff like Hikaru ga Shindai Natsu that got explicitly no-homoed by the author
>>291115442There was more at stake than just honoring the hard work of the animators. The director had a social and moral responsibility too and he failed hundreds of thousands of gay people across Japan who could've greatly benefitted from a progressive fairytale for the young generation. That's the real scandal.
>>291116484Fell for again award
>>291110650he did
>>291116496Yurifags had it coming though. Years of eating up superfriendship shows and fiercely defending them as yuri had to blow up in their faces some day
>>291110696to be spat upon
>>291116693>f thousands of gay people across Japan who could've greatly benefitted from a progressive fairytale for the young generation.Lmao
So how you guys gonna justify to read Citrus author manga now fully knowing the anime director and writer shat on the yuri genre you love?
Let her go, Mari. It's better for everyone.
>>291116345Lara only cried because she realized she was gay and was disgusted that she tried to deny herself by dating him.
>>291116795Hey, finally.
Donut said people were gonna be 50/50 on the ending, was he right?
>>291116484>broke my dead mom's necklace wtf I don't remember that
>>291116795Sayonara Lara's ending isn't irredeemable like Oshi no Ko's. The manga can fix it
>>291116832I've legit seen maybe 2% of people defending, not even praising, the ending.
>>291116832if he meant 1/99, sure
>>291116850When Lara's dagger pierces Mari's chest, it also breaks the cross. You can see it on the ground afterwards.
>>291116832Checked Japanese twitter and most loved it
>>291116832Most people don't have much of an issue with it, but yurifags are a really vocal minority and are trying to push the narrative that Lara is hated now out of pure butthurt.
How many threads you guys have been seething for?
>>291116888Nips dont complain on twitter, they complain on anonymous imageboards
She literally died for nothing kek
>>291116888Maybe there's something going on where the japs don't like couples visually in love because it makes them jealous or something. You know, the same when an idol or actress or whatever is discovered to be in a relationship and this is treated like a scandal and stuff like that.Meanwhile we westerners see watching girls hold hands warms our frosted dead inside hearts and CGDCT are the few sunrays we have left in this horrid world.
>>291116997She died for justice to be served. People seem to forget she's the evil sea witch who tried to fuck up things for everyone.
>>291116888>Checked Japanese twitter and most loved itChecked official jpn x site and pages associated with last episode and I see many complains about it especially how Mari got shafted.
>>291111072There's literally a male angler fused to her back as a third wheel. She's just a boyish girl.
>>291117032She would love Lara acting like fucking bitch with Mari and then leaves her lol
>this moment>dagger breaking mari's cross>Christianity is against same sex>Mari and Lara breaking the law, choosing to live for love>Literally a perfect moment for closeted teens who could relate to lara and mari>then the train scenehow. how can you fuck up this badly. holy kek.
>>291117094Director is against same sex too. :^)
>>291117094Based Japan dabbing on satanists.
>>291117094Maybe it wasn't such a bad decision on the director's part, you're right!
>>291115829I agree with this Nip dyke enabler. I'm not a yurifag and the ending is a complete and total non sequitur 11th hour tangent. It's a complete non ending, it's not the result of the events of the show it's just bullshit.
>>291117094Mari is a good Christian girl, freak
>>291117094Sadly Koibe as director was pretty serious about not wanting to make this a yuri story, even if every hint through 1-12 2/3 episode gone for it happening, then remaining 1/3 of ep12 destroyed it, first showing Lara still dated Luca for unknown reasoning and then dropping Mari like shit to abandon her like her mother and fish done before.
>>29111709499% of the time when you fight against the law, the law wins.
>>291110608HOLY FUUUUARK LUCA CAME *COUNTLESS TIMES* INSIDE OF LARA, IT'S AN ACTUAL YURICIDE
>>291117117I don't think he's against same sex couples I just think the anime committee personal fuck up.>>291117250Then why give him the reigns do this anime. It just seems like he did to piss off anime watchers that badly.
>>291117322Yaawn you can stop showing how retarded you truly are.He didn't even stick it once since he is an artsy faggot.That's why Lara is going into bigger city to get proper dicking as finding new light excuse.
>>291117094>b-but what about the heckin' in gay kids??It's just a phase and it's kinder and more righteous to not give confused insecure kids any stupid ideas which will make their lifes worse in the long run.
>Live for love, not for the lawsOk, but if it's not about yuri, then what?
>>291117354>Then why give him the reigns do this anime. It just seems like he did to piss off anime watchers that badly.Well he is the director so his words are final, lets see if Lara became a new big successful franchise he talked about seeing how he started to congratulate himself for making a masterpiece on japanese media too early.I really hope yurifags aren't as stupid to support it.
>>291117094Based. Christianity won and homosexuality is WRONG.
>>291117392>Ok, but if it's not about yuri, then what?Love for new bigger dicks than Luca's?His small light can't satisfy her so she had to go away to find bigger ones.
>>291116887>one symbol of Christianity destroys another symbol of Christianity What did they mean by this?
Ok but Lara had no choice but to abandon Mari. She literally killed Mari by loving her. Therefore a separation is the only thing that makes sense.
>>291116997>Forgetting that Grace is the cause of everything going wrong.
>Luca unironically wonI-I can't believe it....
>>291117379>It's just a phaseYou really don't know what that word means do you?
>>291117443Having small dick and being dumped for bigger dick experience can't be called winning Carlos.
Is Lara>15 years old>250 years old>0 years old?
>>291117392>evil witch says fuck the law, be a bug chasing hedonist instead>people act shocked when the witch's temptations and lies are cast aside
It's very odd that the director is a fresh first timer, since this was possibly the most boomer ending in recent memory. Lately japanese pop culture has become openly self aware of people's distaste for bittsweet endings, especially if they involve a tearful separation or the MC giving up special powers for an ordinary life, and so there have been countless bait and switch endings that seem to go for the expected outcome just to subvert it with a more positive one. As much as I think of him as an overrated hack, Shinkai might be responsable for the shift thanks to the success of Your Name and Weathering With You that did it first. Then BNHA did it, Kaguya did it, even a show for toddlers like Precure did it.And yet here we are with Lara that does the exact opposite, and twists itself into the most contrived out of character scenario imaginable for the sake of its shitty bittersweet ending, with hints of Class S and of adulthood wiping out joy and wonder for added boomerism.
Did Luca's crossdressing brother really need to exist...?
>>291116997Grace should have married Rigmor
>>291117354I'm not willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. The show ultimately came off as anti-yuri as it could have. Every single romantic relationship is straight, Lara is obsessed with finding a prince, Himeka, Lisa, Grace and Rigmor are all straight (to the point of Kota being portrayed as the wrong gender from his anglerfish appearance), not once is the idea of romance that isn't straight ever considered by any character. Of fucking course when Mari ends up being Lara's true love, the notion of it being romantic must be rejected. I don't think this is the kind of writing fumble that can be easily attributed to a production committee, it runs way deeper and is foundational to the work itself.
>>291117475She's old enough and that's all that matters.
Imagine being a grown ass man with no partner no friends no job and you are mad because some fictional female characters didn't end up in a gay relationship. Pathetic
>>291117507You make a very convincing case that Sayolara is an even better show than it seems at first glance.
>chew shit and don't complain lol. ok?
>>291117533>Imagine being a grown ass man with no partner no friends no job and you are mad because some fictional female characters didn't end up in a gay relationship. PatheticBe an antiyurifag and spend 24/7 shitting up against yurifags in almost every thread on /a/ possible where any hints of yuri are mentioned...Yeah your life is a blast instead.
>>291110962>side yuri couple is better than the main couple Is this a law of the universe?
>>291117485Ending on separation with the a crack in the door that they might meet up again is the biggest Japanese romance cliche this side of the double suicide going out of fashion.You can't escape it. It's literally everywhere. And I don't think the Nips themselves hate it the hate for Lara's ending is more specific than just this cliche being invoked for the 9001th time.
>>291117050Japan also have a lot of yurifags it's not the majority remember what happened with lycoris? It's still yuribait and will never commit no matter what they say
What's the yuri anime of the season now that Lara flopped and slopped?
This show isn't even good at being superfriendship. Like, imagine if at the end of CPK, Kaguya decided to leave Iroha, who spent 10 years of her life to create her body, so she can get to experience the real world.
>>291117475Biologically 15Chronologically 250 if she was asleep in the clam the entire timeChronologically 0 if she was reborn from the clam (debatable: if rebirth counts as a hard chronological reset)
>>291117475The more pressing matter is how she secured all the paperwork and got a guarantor when she's completely undocumented and stateless?
>>291117494Luca's family is full of homos. Mari's brother and Luca have something for each other. A Luca spinoff story is not out of the question.
>>291117583Lycoris Recoil is just a retarded turn-your-brain-off action show with some of the mildest yuri teasing imaginable, it has nothing in common with Lara which spent 99% of its runtime on Lara searching for her true love (romantic) and finding it and the remaining 1% denying everything.
Why did Lara cry with Luca?
>>291117614>Sorry Iroha, I'm going to travel all over the world to eat delicious things now that you've given me my sense of taste back. Keep working hard, I'm rooting for you!
>>291117681Because she will never see him again
>>291117681Because she's leaving for good. She can't cry in front of Mari.
cockcarousel sisters... WE WON!
>>291117681She was remembering that portrait of her he drew and was holding back from ROFLMAOing again.
>>291117681No one knows probably because she wanted to stay with him but still has things she has to figure out herself
>>291117621Lara was arrested on the train ride to Kobe and deported back to Denmark.
>>291117755If you have a free hand to type, you're slacking off. Now keep sucking.
So who won?

>>291117882Visualfags and soundtrackfags Lucalara is still good and mutual they even dated just didn't last long
>>291115829People don't understand the concept that a story could ever mislead you and that what the characters say could be a lie.
>>291117882Kaguya
>>291118058unironically less yuri than Sayonara Lara
>>291112701Symbolic and subversive. Shiga girls should never trust the WHITE WOMAN.
>>291118058Having a sexual relationship with her own daughter? Building an underage sexbot of her daughter for her exclusive personal use with shareholder money? How did she get away with it?
>>291117681Cock was too good to leave.

>>291118203>Sheena! Stay in the kitchen and make me onigiri!What the fuck is Mimi's problem?
>>291118244What the fuck is Sheena's problem? Someone as pathetic as her should just stay home and cook for her husband (Mimi) and give her kisses after work. That's the only thing she is useful for.
Lara should be arrested for not taking responsibility for turning Mari gay
>>291118156>>291118058>mother-daughter>age gap>reverse grooming it really has it all
>>291110608Japan just likes fish
>>291117533OK, but seriously though, who is this supposed to appeal to exactly? Not yurifags since they were thoroughly mindraped, but also not sane people? Just what the fuck was the moral of this story exactly?
I almost regret making fanart for this series. I mean, I enjoyed 99.5℅ of it, but those last few minutes...
>>291118591The entire final episode was just bad. And it retroactively taints the entire anime. Positively mind boggling finale.
>>291118591>fanartshow us
>>291117485Boomers were the last good generation
>>291117575Lara's ending is the biggest pseudo deep fag cartoon from the last decade cliche. Trains, travelling to find oneself, and giving up on being a merfolk or a magical princess included.>Steven Universe>Frozen 2>Lucaetc.Oh, and it's another shitty attempt from the last 3 years or so to subvert The Little Mermaid, like Ruby Gillman and the blackwashed live action version.AI-generated slop.
>>291117882Kota
>>291118641I think I already posted this when episode 3 came out.
>>291118719Bro, how the fuck can you watch /co/ slop? At least with anime you still get a good one every year or so but /co/ shit is unwatchable.
>>291118746And also this I guess. I miss my schizo theory
>Kaguyaho everyone! Hey guys, did you hear that story about a girl who gave everything for a mermaid and then that mermaid abandoned her? lol lmao even, couldn't be me. Anyway, today I will go eat pancakes with IroP!
>>291118756Nips watch it, and then copy it apparently after the tropes already went out of fashion.
>>291118777I kneel...
>>291118746>>291118772Cute a shame it ended this way
>>291117681Thet were probably crocodile tears anyway.
>>291117945Won't be made up with people buying merch or going to Shiga though.
>>291118791Ok but I am talking about you. > after the tropes already went out of fashion.Considering they still make garbage I doubt that.
>>291118746>>291118772Cute, nice job Anon.In this situation, it's best to just completely ignore the moment everything shit the bed, and have fun filling in the blanks yourself.
>>291118937I don't watch it anymore, all those movies are old but I'm pretty sure disney toned down the depressing endings after The Last Wish's success.
>>291118863>>291118991Thanks.>In this situation, it's best to just completely ignore the moment everything shit the bed, and have fun filling in the blanks yourselfYeah, I think I will just headcanon an ending where Lara and Otsu family go traveling together.
>>291119118I thought Luca was made this decade or something
