When is the director interview coming out? I genuinely want to know what he meant by this ending.
>anime is a hate letter to the fans
>>291118528It's obvious, isn't it? Lara stopped being a fairytale character and became a real human with muted colors, dialogue and reactions to other people. It's deep and shit, please ignore how it clashes with everything up to that point which had her growing and becoming less naive while still not turning into a gray joyless person.
Hilarious how every native nip speaker interpreted that line exactly like it was translated, but yuritrannies claim to know better. Sheer hubris after months of >muh media literacy
>>291118528Can you fuck off already?
>>291118528mistranslation
It'd be a real shame if Kinema Citrus got Kyoani'd...or not?
>>291118736Stop coping already.
>>291118704Someone on staff thought it needed to have a "realistic" ending, and slapped it right at the end. Maybe they even switched the tapes that were sent to the stations with this travesty instead of the one intended.
>>291118704That's actually pretty interesting if they made it more explicit
>>291118770Just bomb Koide's car, Kinema Citrus at large still makes Made in Abyss and Revue Starlight.
I'm willing to bet that they'll scramble to get Shiori Tani to draw some official art with grown up Mari and Lara together to placate people a little within a few days.
Her fin ears were so cute...
>>291118770Kill yourself.
>>291118770Love yourself.
>>291118820>Kamome ShirahamaI can only imagine how disappointed she is considering she's one of the few outwardly outspoken nips about their social issues plus just being a writer who presumably appreciates stories that don't go to shit for no reason.
>>291118770Ignore yourself like Lara ignored Mari at the end.
>>291118770most sane yurisister
>>291118913
>>291118889Tbh her manga also went to shit
Lara being a massive bitch and Mari's entire situation was a bigger issue for me than some vague line from Luca.
>>291118970Lunacy, Silver Eve is when WHA gets truly amazing.
>>291118528Lara the troonslayer... I kneel...
>>291118820At least they kept her tongue stitches
>>291118736This. The real translation is him saying that everything she does is flaky.>>291118771You browns don't even speak Japanese, in every other language including the dub he doesn't say that. All the Germans, Mexicans, and even Japanese were confused and thought it was a joke when they saw people saying Lara got back with him.
>>291119168I haven't seen a single confused japanese, they were dating and that's it
Luca won
>>291118770you are entertaining the thought of mass murder over a fictional story
>>291119168All nips say they were dating, stop coping. This is getting pathetic.
>>291119008I thought it's wokeslop ngl. There are plenty of older manga to enjoy so I dropped it.
>>291119328>>291118528I don't even care anymore. Actually more than that, I went from coping to believing in the worst interpretation possible just to hate the show more.
>>291115005>>291115065>Mermaid 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.That's pure headcanon. I don't even know if they thought up of an explanation.>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.The director can rein in the writer so the only option left is executive meddling. I don't think >>291115113 is even schizo. We know this stuff happens. That ending is so disjointed from and clashes with everything before it. It went from>Mari will find someone who will stand beside her looking the same direction>Lara's true love is Mari >All I ever wanted was to be in a world with youto suddenly in the last few minutes>lol jk Mari's pet fish dies, her cross breaks, and now Lara is leaving her for no reason>also Lara was dating Luca on and off the past 6 months>and for some reason she's sadder about leaving Luca than Marilike it was trying to undo and spit on everything before as quickly as possible. I've never seen something crash and burn at the very last moment like that. An executive committee forcing that ending is the best explanation I can come up with.
>>291118978The vague line from Luca isn't the big issue with the ending but it's more like why did they even include it. It leads to speculation that the staff was genuinely forced to make this ending.
>look at these twitter screencaps of tweets with zero engagement from accounts with 10 organic followers! The grok translation says what I want it to say, so this means I'm right!Sad existence of a schizophrenic.
>>291119534gonna cry ?
>>291118528Which is the more realistic cope for me to have? That there will be an OVA or BD special that has a better ending or that they will make a manga continuation?
>>291119627The healthier cope is to forget and move on.
>>291118770pipe bomb.
Luca is lucky
>>291119627Go watch Hayamin's anime and forget about this turd.
Should have gone with threesome end desu.
>>291119784I'd fap to a doujin of Lara fucking both Mari and Luca with her mermaid cock
Does anyone like Utena but hate SayoLara? I feel both endings are similar.
>>291119824Love Utena and really liked Lara, I just think the final scene is too vague for it's own good.
>>291119802Such a glorious future they took from us.
Mermaid sashimi...
>>291119824Utena was groundbreaking. Lara is cowardly
Lara apologizing about raping Luca countless times doesn't fix the problem
>>291119824Not the biggest fan of uten but I love Penguindrum
>>291119824Liking Utena (literally top 3 anime ever made) and disliking Lara (seasonal trainwreck #69639)??? No way!
>>291119534>Impulsive?>Yeah, you show up out of the blue, then just as quick you disappear.>I guess that's true.>Like, you had that urge to want to date me, then you wanted to break up. It kinda hurt.>I'm sorry.So which one is wrong, the script submitted to the dubbing team by the Japanese studio writers, or Crunchyroll's AI slop subs that famously fuck up twice an episode of every show they do?
Lara loves Luca They will meet again
>>291120025What are your top 3? >seasonal trainwreck #69639I unionicaly wish we had these many originals
>>291120008What's the appropriate ratio of apologies to rapes?
>>291120085Utena FLCL and Eva
>>291120100>EvaGay but I like FLCL
>>291118770bro this shit wasn't even good enough to convince anyone to leave the house to begin with
https://files.catbox.moe/h1z4qg.mp4Posting actual proof to shut subhumans up.>dubIgnore the shitty actors, it's the script that matters. I can't believe we have to fucking use official dubs to determine if Crunchyroll fucked up their subs so often now. Hate Lara all you want, she didn't fuck Luca.
>>291120209The dub absolutely took liberties. In fact you can tell who watched the dub because they'll argue Mari called Lara cute at the end of episode 3.
>>291120209Cute mermauds.
>>291120202I don't know the chinks seem pretty upset
>>291120209Bro nobody cares.The subhuman antiyuri schizophrenics don't care. Even if it's provably wrong they'll keep spamming because it makes you mad.The yurifags don't care either because it doesn't actually matter, they still aren't getting what they want.Nobody that actually wants the show to be good gets anything out of this ending.
If Lara was a guy would people still find the 200 years of rage over a rejection ok
>>291120209https://pug.5ch.io/test/read.cgi/anime/1789924348Nips also took the line as Lara dating Luca. Just take the L it's not worth the coping or defending anymore.
>>291118528How did the show go from such heights to getting mogged by pretty cure's mermaid story?
Japs are vocal about the ending
>>291120025but just imagine the absolute yurifag seethe if Utena aired today
>>291118770Yurisissies don't have the balls required to do it.
>>291118736>implying I paid attention to the scene instead of tuning out every time the twink was on screen
>>291120303>supposed 200 years of raging hatred>this is only manifested through the dagger plot device and not by Lara's character in any way whatsoever Lazy lazy lazy
>>291119417>I've never seen something crash and burn at the very last moment like that.Go watch Kuma Miko right now.
Holy based
>>291120051Everyone went opposite direction of Lara Luca was going towards opposite direction too but he changed his mind and decided to follow Lara. Its subtle amd Luca is endgame
>>291120361Not really fair. Laura grows as a character as opposed to Lara.
>>291120361Precure even had a better fakeout separation yuri ending
>>291118770Just take the whole place down atp they already ruined Revue Starlight with the movie and they're gonna drag its corpse through more shit with the upcoming new work.
>>291120463Its opposite Lucalara was endgame but they changed ending because they were scared yuritrannies
>>291120524>Lucalara was endgamecope
>>291119824Utena made sense. Most of the copycats it spawned did not.
>>291120290People are mad all day on twitter about non issues. Give it two days and they forget.
>>291120498I liked the starlight movie way more than the series. The series was a 7/10 at best and the movie a 9/10.
Stop watching originals anon達 it's that easy.
Laramari had such a weak relationship I can't even feel mad
Fucking moronic retards.The "countless times" is referencing what Luca said ten seconds earlier, about the fact that Lara surprised him time and again by being impulsive.CR's translation is extremely misleading.So no, they never dated during the six months.
>>291120556Ikuhara tried to copy it again himself and every series he has made after the incest penguin one has been shit,
>>291120663MAAAAAARIIIIIIIII
>>291120663Mari…
>>291120620But most of my favorite anime are originals.
>>291120662I trust nips more than you
>>291120663Accurate summary of the ending.
>>291120681I liked Yurikuma more than Penguidrum (both nowhere close to Utena anyway)But the main problem is that he stopped working with a real writer for some reason
>>291120603The series had mostly great characterization aside from the shitstain that was Hikari who worked better as a symbol rather than an actual person in Karen's life. The movie sucked outside of FutaKao and Karen's backstory.
>>291120723What nips, some random xitter retard?
>>291120773>I liked YurikumaI didn't
>>291120579Damn. We're really at that level, huh?
>>291120579Maybe if Mari came out as trans
>make series about finding love>end it on the millionth "I need to leave to find myself" endingIf they like finding themselves so much why don't they make anime about that instead of shoehorning it in at the end of otherwise good series? Also, at least according to the shoujo manga I've read, you're supposed to have the time skip after leaving, and then they come back and get married or something. Not a time skip before and then nothing after they leave.
>>291120921The timeskip had to be where it was because they knew they had done nothing to set up Lara's decision and so it was a bandaid to skip having to show why she changed so much from the character she always had been.
>>291120780what are your rating for the movie/series?
>>291120662>>291120340There are nips who also got that impression and they aren't watching CR. Blame the writers.
>>291120270Yes anon, the script that was delivered to them weeks in advance by the anime studio was clearly tampered with to pervert the writer's intended cuck fantasy message, but the subbers forgot to do the same. You caught them.
>>291120921>supposed toKantoku san tried to be original and subvert your love expectations without understanding why subverting love expectations is a bad idea in what for 11.8/12 episodes was a love story.And that's why originals suck. The japanese can't write endings and you are guaranteed one in every original. At least adaptations almost never cover the full material.
>>291118528Lara found endless possibilities beyond mere love and found unity between humans and fish. A truly beautiful ending.
>>291118770Least deranged yurifag.
>>291121062>The japanese can't write endingsThey absolutely can write endings and there plenty of originals with good ones.>At least adaptations almost never cover the full material.If you genuinely prefer 12 episodes adaptations, you are everything that's wrong with modern anime.
>>291121044According to the modern understanding of Quantum Physics there is at least one universe where this happened btw.
>>291121062If you hate them so much why don't you switch to western media, genuinely?
>>291121062>And that's why originals suck.I trust this >>291120100 anon. Originals rule(d)>>291121169In western media you also get 99% of the time shit endings.
>>291121147There's nothing wrong about preferring good 12 episodes adaptions to dogshit originals, anonIf you thought that Lara was better than Jaadugar you're mentally deranged
>>291121062Retarded post. Name 1 other original you watched this year. Bet you cannot even do this.
>>291121025The series is an 8.8/10 and the movie is a 7.5/10 and that score is strongly influenced by the music and visuals. When reducing the weight of those elements, the movie is more like a 6/10 to me. Karen and FutaKao hard carried the movie.
>>291120340Wow anon one shitpost that's clearly clowning on the whole ending, that definitely is a serious post, just like how the brown schizo who posts Luca will impregnate Mari every thread here is totally serious and thus must mean MariLuca is canon because that one jeet definitely interpreted the show that way.I get that yuri-adjacent threads have been retard central on /a/ for half a decade or more and people don't give a fuck about the plot or canon or anything, but as long as you're talking about the actual shit ending, the Luca shit is the retard's reason to hate it because it literally is a hallucination.
>>291121210There is nothing wrong with preffering good originals over dogshit adaptations either, strawman-kun. I grew with 00s anime and 99% of the time I will take a good original vs a good incomplete adaptation(and I am saying this as someone who loves the mushishi anime).
>>291121147Are you really implying the average original is better than the average seasonal adaptation? With shit like Lara, Kamisama ni Natta Hi, WEP, Mayoiga, etc? Especially if you have more than one braincell and ignore anything that has Isekai, reincarnated, level, kicked, rank, party, etc in the title.>>291121169Because I watch anime as the glorified ad that they are. I watch the adaptations of what I read already, I consider reading the source of the ones I enjoy and I drop anything that makes me bored.Anime is the bottom of the pyramid, not the top.
>>291121267A lot of cope.
>>291121210nta, but Fatima is probably as smart as Lara.Both series ended up being big disappointmentsSaynora Lara 6/10Jaadugar 7/10
So the time Lara spent during the series with humans doesn't count towards "finding herself"? What was the point of having those things?
>>291121307And among the manga you've, you've never read any with greta endings? Then you have very shit taste >Are you really implying the average original is better than the average seasonal adaptation?No you retard, I am implying that great originals are better than average adaptations and even good adaptations. Also you have a backlog of anime that starts in the 60s.
>>291118528Yuricucks truly lost
>>291121267Yuribrownies are the third-worlders infesting these threads though
wdym? True love is wage slaving in Tokyo.It's pretty self explanatory.
>>291121267no one cares about your worthless opinion so feel free to fuck off anytime
>>291121307Well then I wouldn't consider you an anime fan. I also read manga but I actually like anime and like the anon said there are plenty of fantastic ones made in the past, only a zoomer would constrain himself to seasonal bullshit. I watch anime that are more than just "ads" and are actually good.
>>291121307Yes, especially since you need to go 10 years back just to gather 4 examples of bad ones.
>>291121336They warned you with the Revue Starlight movie. The entire story of the MC from the anime series was trashed for a separation arc and ending in the movie. This is what happens when creatively bankrupt hacks produce things, they can only ape iconic classics without understanding why and how they became great in the first place.
>>291121336That was to find her old srlf. Now she needs to find her new self: a glued to her phone, social media addicted, jaded, emotionally distant, narcissistic, self absorbed, manipulative human female.
>>291121307So do you watch western slop?
>>291121362>>291121365Mari was Lara's true love and her love for Luca was extremely shallow and never going to work. How is that a victory for anybody?
Obligatory
>>291121336Those were what made her be willing to give up being a mermaid permanently.
>>291121430At least Luca tasted Lara's fish pussy for 6 months
>>291121430???
>>291121424Lisa and Rowan were right... Grace died for nothing...
>>291120912>Gets the shit punched out of her by her coach>he rapes her and knocks her upWEP was kino as fuck
We just posting takes we found?
>>291121467>I loved doomed off-screen romance scrapsThe gay cuck wouldn't even accept a kiss.>>291121512>she says while the fish stabs mari anyways
>>291120912Did that really happen...? I dropped this garbage halfway through episode 4
>>291121353In my experience, very few endings are as good as the average arc, let alone the peak. I just don't consider it a bad thing in a manga or novels because I understand they are years long commitments and the peaks and valleys tend to balance out.However, in a 3 month original, going from peak arc to shit in less than a month feels much worse.And yes, great originals can be better. They are also once every a few years things.And if one happens to air, I will watch it because I have nothing in specific against them, but I do so knowing that Sturgeon's Law counts double.
>>291121550Yes and it was one of the more interesting episodes in that humongous trainwreck, though it somehow managed to be both supportive and deeply offensive to that character's experience.
>>291121546>The gay cuckBut enough about (Yo/u/)
>>291121546Bro that was after Mari got stabbed. Then Lisa says the light isn't like the light of past princesses which would be romantic love. And then Lara says she's gonna find a new light. And THEN leaves Mari behind, no hug, kiss or anything. It just isn't how you'd present a romantic love.
>>291121430>her love for Luca was extremely shallow and never going to work>Lucayou meant Mari right ? Lara treated her like shit till the last second while she had an emotional goodbye with Luca
>>291121556So if you realize that in general endings tend to be bad why do you claim that "only japs" do it? When it's a general trend? >However, in a 3 month original, going from peak arc to shit in less than a month feels much worse.Then only watch finished originals. >And yes, great originals can be better. They are also once every a few years things.Considering that you have movies as well, you get 1 per year and like I've said you have 5 decades of backlog. What's stopping you from enjoying past works? >ut I do so knowing that Sturgeon's Law counts double.Not really, there are way fewer of them and the percentage of good ones stays the same.
>>291121307I can't imagine watching random adaptations, I only watch those made by good directors that try to make something more interesting than just a manga advertisement. .
>>291121585>supportive>she claims she's a boy>she goes to hell for girls>not the hell specifically for boys>which only happens if girls commit suicide>because girls are dumb and emotional>After getting raped by her teacher
>>291121620I don't know what the authors were going for because the ending is so confused and muddled.>>291121600She treated both like shit. Everybody lost.
>>291121527>presents itself as a feminist anime with the groomer male teacher as the villain>turns out that he was a saint, falsely accused by a BDP teen whore who accidentally killed herself while trying to frame him for rapeWEP is so fascinating, its failure deserves to be studied
I like the characters and I can safely say that this was carried by the art direction, music and animation. The plot is too retarded and simple, and it tried to do too many things without tying a single loose end. The ending was extremely weird with Lara not even properly smiling at Mari or looking happy at all, besides with Luca. This just shows how if a shows is beautiful it tramps almost every flaw until you wake up from the dream and look back
Yurifags can't stop getting BTFO by originals since Gridman. It's pitiful
>>291121686>presents itself as a feminist animeDeserved to fail just for that. Hope they never try that garbage again.
>>291121657Momoe accepts his/her/whatever chosen identity and it ends "well". But yeah, the circumstances around it like the objectivity of it being the egg dimension for girls makes it offensive. The whole show feels like it hates women even aside from that instance anyway.
>>291121512yuricucks don't care about what is actually said. they turn off the volume, write their own subtitles and pretend their yuri fanfic is canon
>>291121724>makes it offensive.Are we seriously acting like xitter fags here?
>>291121724
>>291121732Compared to the fanfics of Luca impregnating Lara/Mari we see here?
>>291121780Accurate woman portrayal
>>291121742It's an episode specifically about trans representation (down to the trans flag colors in decoration) so it gets to be judged upon those standards.
>>291121783Luca at least dated Lara. He's closer to Yuta and Mochizou than Guel
>>291121800Does it end with the character committing suicide? If not, it's not accurate
>>291121794A woman wouldn't say that. Especially a 13 year old
>>291120051Lara's farewell to Luca was more emotional than her farewell to Mari. Luca confirmed as the real love interest. Mari is Lara's best friend
>>291121821it started with the character committing suicide and they are implied to be in a hell meant for women despite believing they are male
>>291121821Girls committing or contemplating suicide is the whole premise of the show. It's supposed to be some sort of catharsis even though the message gets scrambled beyond repair by the end.
>>291121872>>291121866I see, i was asking because trannies tend to have very high suicide rates
>>291121866Do women get tortured differently to men in hell?
>>291121783>fanfics of Luca impregnating Lara/MariAll I see is people discussing about Lara and Luca dating during the timeskip like it was stated in the episode. Is everything alright in your head ?
>>291121804>at least I only had 8 fingers cut off instead of 9This is just sad.
>>291121926https://desuarchive.org/a/search/text/impregnate%20Luca/Why play dumb?Ask to that them.
>>291121686>>presents itself as a feminist anime with the groomer male teacher as the villainThis was never even slightly true, it was just vocal misandrist feminists in the western anime community that instantly loathed the father figure in the show. I don't usually keep up with anime news from American but watching the weekly reviews of the show get more shizo and angry that the strong, capable, caring male in the show was a genuinely good guy who did everything right was hilarious. The episode where she confessed and he let her down gracefully like a loving adult in position of power should do broke them and is partly why WEP causes so much seething whenever it's mentioned to this day.We got total justice for sensei and he deserved it entirely.
>>291121965Kek this guy really mindbroke your fragile yuricuck brain. I don't pity you though, you kinda deserve it.
>>291122046He will continue to spam a catchphrase long after I stop caring about the show. So which one of us is mindbroken here?
>>291121984>This was never even slightly trueThat was absolutely the impression the initial episodes wanted to elicit. Sensei was presented in a sinister light and the audience was supposed to believe that Ai's friend was a positive character. It wasn't until later that the show pulled the rug under everything
>>291121928Romances don't always have a happily ever after ending. The fact that it happened and the flame was there, as evidenced by Lara's strong emotional farewell to Luca, is enough to outweigh whatever yuricope you made up in your mind
The ending is incredibly poetic. It mirrors Lara giving up everythi g for a love she doesnt even know will work out and shows us what it looks like from the other end.
>You'll own nothing and you'll be happy
>>291122100Not at all, and I only found out that people felt that way after viewing. That entire narrative was pushed heavily by those types who saw a man in a position of trust and power over a young girl who was infatuated with him and were utterly unable to conceive of a scenario where he wasn't taking advantage. The fact you took it that way too speaks more of you than it does of the creators.
>>291122107>she dumped me but I kinda liked it so it was goodJust as pathetic as anyone claiming a yuri victory.
>>291122157A talking fish pet? A fairytale princess girlfriend? Get real.
>>291118813>Kinema Citrus at large still makes Made in Abyss and Revue Starlight.>Revue StarlightThese guys have built themselves a reputation of screwing over yurifags.
>>291122108Really it wouldn't be so bad if they at least showed that she grew from the experience too, like what if opening up to Lara taught her how to make a lot of friends she hangs out with after the timeskip, so she also has someone keeping her company after Lara leaves? But nope
>>291122108To love is to let go.
>>291122193Why do you care so much? Yuri lost. Let hetfags have their fun, it's what the writers probably wanted all along
>>291122166>Not at all, and I only found out that people felt that way after viewingYou might be retarded dude. Like we're talking about basic cinematic language in how sensei is portayed on screen in every damn scene, even ignoring the story that's a whodunit where he's initially thought as the culprit.
>>291119627Kota won
>>291122275Your brain is fucked up and you can't even tell.
>>291122314You haven't even watched the show
>>291122267>he's coping about the authors now
>>291121686That scenario has literally happened irl. Women falsely accusing men happens all the time. Idk why they are so hateful.
>>291122108I mean in a lesbian relationship mari is lucky tgats all that happened
>>291122267The main writer is a huge LucaLara shipper
>>291122333Coping is yurifags' national sport though
>>291122108And Mari didn't even get a kiss in the cheek while Lara spent six months having sex with Luca
>*vinyl scratch sound*>YOU'RE NOW LISTENING TO>*car crash sound*>102.3>*elephant sound*>REAL LILY FM>*explosion*>WHERE WE PLAY NOTHIN BUT YURI, YURI, AND MORE YURI>*glass shattering sound*>*police siren*>THIS AIN'T YOUR GRANNY'S YURIBAIT>*goodbye lara starts playing*
>>291122419Seems like you're coping just as hard.
>>291122449Wait a minute... this is exactly like my granny's yuribait!
>>291122449Fauna?
>>291122463I'm just stating what happened in the show
>>291122330is that the best you can do when challenged lolsensei was a bro and always was a bro, the other anon is right
>>291122202In my mind, Revue Starlight ended when the tv series ended. The songs from the movie are incredible though.
Why didn't Mari just ask for a potion to give herself a dick?
>>291122585Because she's a total bottom
The only thing realistic about this anime is that girls who practice boxing are all gay and also suck at boxing>t. Went to a boxing gym that took girls trainees for years
If that shitposter is this dedicated to ruining the discussion it must have been great
>>291122628And how does that affect my statement?
>>291121965The schizo is pathetic.
>>291122694She wants to be pierced by Lara's big mermaid cock
>>291122717Luca sex is what Lara wanted. True to the show till the end.
>>291122721Human and mermaid cock frotting.
>>291118770yurifags are so deranged. you guys truly deserve nothing (but contempt)
>>291122749Frotting to orgasm to fertilize Lara's eggs
Honestly, I was expecting Lara to die, which is probably why the ending didn't disappoint me at all
>>291122791I would have preferred to see her dead rather than how she is after the timeskip
>>291122791I genuinely had preferred she had. At least it would give a good excuse to her just deciding to leave.
>>291121600You seem to be more interested for Luca and "yuri slayers" that you cling to than Lara and girls, though.
>>291120361Not a fair comparison. Laura is fun from the start.
I definitely smell malicious executive meddling. Luca was some old crusty fat blob's self insert and tried to force things in his direction as much as possible at the last minute, to the point that Lara treated Mari like a fart in the wind. This just looks like a more extreme version of what the bamco execs tried (and failed) to do with G-Witch. It's just unwanted guys being mad at yuri because they think it's an attack on their god granted right to all women. There's a reason nip women are disgusted with their men.
Lots of futa potential but the show was too ass for anyone to bother making doujins of it. Sad.
>>291122870No it was the director sniffing his own farts and thinking that happy endings were too cliche.
Was it really necessary to paint Lara as a promiscuous slut ?
Mochizou, Yuta, Majima, Shuuichi, Kai, Guel, Stark, Laios, Shuji and Luca won btw
Lisa did nothing wrong.
>>291122951Lisa did nothing.
>>291122108Man Mari really got fucked for helping a mythical creature
>>291122897is she gonna grow up to be some christmas cake in another show sad she never settled down?
>>291118528So im not a show watcher, and i asked around mid season or so to yuri-fans whether or not they would still like this show even if it didnt end in yuri, and i remember most of them did say yes.Now that the show is ended (i heard it wasnr a yuri ending but i dont know), do you still hold the same belief?
>>291123127That's not a nice thing to say, Mari.
>>291118770The kyoani fire had nothing to do with hibike you deranged maniac.
>>291120456>Go watch Kuma Miko right now.I remember those threads. Still one of the worst ends I've seen.
>>291121150that is not the modern understanding of quantum mechanics. that's just scifi.
>>291122870>There's a reason nip women are disgusted with their men.And they still fuck them. Holy projection, Batman.
>>291123264Only when gaijin Chads aren't around
>>291120456Well Kuma Miko was an anime original ending that failed probably due to incompetence. That whole part was the problem. This is different. This literally the the last 5-6 minutes that narratively could've just been erased entirely and it would've been great. Everything was going along splendidly until that sharp turn epilogue. Even movies need at least 10 minutes to ruin the ending.
>>291123264>And they still fuck thembarely and that's a reported fact.
I wonder how many times he's going to reply to his own falseflag. I'm thinking 30 times before autosage.>>291123264>And they still fuck them.No they don't. There are more self-admitted virgins than ever in Japan. The younger generations are afraid of interpersonal relationships that aren't parasocial.
>>291118528wet fart of an ending. i'd have preferred to go edgy grim ending like the original little mermaid or a saccharine happy end so it at least could have been a good series with a meh end, but a bad ending really kills it.are there any good mermaid yuris to watch right now? is that one recent philipino one any good?
>>291121150>there is at least one universe where this happened btw.No, this is just one of several interpretations of Quantum Mechanics. To be clear the modern, most commonly accepted one is the Copenhague convention one, which assumes that the wave-particle function of subatomic particles in inherently undeterministic, that is until a measurement is taken forcing the wave function to collapse, leading to a deterministic, single state.
>>291123405Schrodinger's cat...
Schrodinger's fish
Dude imagine if Eternal Return is legit.. having to experience this shit ending again and again
is toppy involved in this?
>>291123519It is legit and you're proving it by your shitposting obsession forcing you to experience it again and again as you spam the board nonstop
>>291123364While we're at it please take out the>I don't need true loveline because what the actual fuck was Lara talking about.
>Pick up from when Mari is coming out to where Lisa is>More or less the same interaction, but when Mari turns to go after Lisa telling her she's going to die, she gives her Lara's ring.>Same confrontation with Lara, but Mari brings the ring out to hand it to Lara at chest height.>Fish dagger impales her, destroying the ring instead of the cross (see below for alternate where the same thing as in the show happens)>Same scenes until both of them are lying down and Mari's alive again>(Alternate: The ring isn't destroyed, there's a scene of Mari putting the ring onto Lara's finger mimicking Lisa and Kouta from before, otherwise if the ring is destroyed above this scene plays out the same)>Maybe if there's time show Lisa going back to the father and other sisters and do something with that.>Last scene before time skip shows some quick scenes of Lara and Mari going back and meeting with Mari's family and some of the other characters from earlier in the series>Same 6 month time skip>Mari gets home from boxing practice and her family gives her a postcard from Lara>Put something nice in there and even just a sentence saying why she felt she had to leave, but that she's going to be back at some pointBetter? Worse? I feel like only minor changes need to be made to make the ending not feel like a massive fuck you.
>>291123676It must suck to go through life being as dumb as you are lol
>>291123709Oh yeah and this is without increasing the icky yuri they want to avoid despite pushing it so much in the series. Would be just as easy to have a direct confession or a kiss somewhere in here if the director wasn't a coward/homophobe.
>>291122897The cock carousel posters were right all along
>>291123709Complete dogshit. There's a reason these people make anime and you're a broke retard with no friends.
>>291123709Better since yours doesn't kick Mari while she's down and leave her there in the snow.
>>291123352Most Japanese women wouldn't sleep with a gaijin (gaijin here meaning Brown or Black specifically), much less marry or have kids with one, but sure. That's actually more of a fact than what that anon claims. >>291123374>>291123394>barely and that's a reported fact.This is probably more telling of the general ignorance about statiscs (including by dweebs and weebos) than an actual, verified fact. Most of Europe, China, Korea and even some countries in Africa have a natality rate as low if not lower than Japan's. Does that mean they're not having sex either? I've seen sensationalized reports where it's claimed in Japan, something like up to 30% of women between the ages of 15 and 30 are virgins and similar percentages for both sexes have supposedly never been in a relationship, but those headlines generally ignore the fact that those people do intend to marry at some point by their own admission, or fails to track how they'll actually be doing a time after that data was taken. For example, the alarming (depending on who you ask) 20-30% of virgins reported in some of those polls lowers dramatically by age 30, and even more by 35 for the exact same cohorts, and then there's the issue of the method by which most of those studies are taken. Lastly, when you actually look at the reasons given by the very same respondents, it has little to non correspondance to what that anon claimed (i.e. That Japanese women find their men yucky or whatever, that's just extrapolation of social media vocal minorities, or like I said, projection by westerners), and more to do with ecomical, housing and education level issues (surprise, surprise, just like everywhere else).
>>291123766What I posted is largely just working with what they gave us. If I wanted to spend more time on it and do a complete rewrite I could probably come up with something better>your ending is 99% the same as the official one but actually has slightly more payoff and doesn't actively try to piss the audience off so it's worse
>>291122870The biggest Luca fan in the staff was a woman. You're projecting
>>291123812You're incapable of creating any story that isn't complete garbage. Even just using some strange word like "payoff" tells me you have a totally brain rotted view of storytelling and art that means you're incapable of infusing soul into a work. You're a soulless husk.
>>291122897Kota is a man and Mari is a woman. It's not the same
>>291122870
>>291123852>Kota is a manWe've been over this
>>291123851NTA, you sound insanely frustrated over a mere suggestion of a rewrite.Actually explain how exactly he offended the very idea of storytelling or shut the fuck up. As it is you are just throwing mindless insults.
>>291123899We've been over this anon, the director has been excused for not having actually done the bare minimum research over one of the few fish he used in his work.
>>291123851>strange word like "payoff"Most obvious ESL that probably uses AI to write all his posts
>>291123792r/asianmasculinity is in the house
>>291118528Lara watchers should do everyone in the world a favor
>>291118528I always viewed these girls as straight I don't care.
>>291124014hi
At this point just a straightforward hetero anime original romance anime would be a breath of fresh air.
>>291123792You are really small brained if you think the nation that has genuine issues criticizing ficitonal works are genuinely going to go on a national survey and say "I don't want to fuck man because I'm disgusted by them". Holy retardation. And of course, when you go to older people the statistics are different considering it's a whole different generation.Everyone knows what's going on in Korea, being even with a country that is basically in the midst of a gender war is a pretty bad look. China has been doing actual birth control. And going "most of Europe" without even citing examples? amateur all the way.
>>291123906Shoehorning in a wish fulfillment happy ending completely negates the emphasis the show places on how being a better person isn't some magical easy thing that instantly makes everything better. That's why there's also an entire conversation about the tedious process of maybe one day having the rest of the family wake up. This is the kind of thinking that shouldn't be seen beyond 12 year olds, let alone to have any pretense that it's better writing rather than utter dogshit writing.
>>291124079That's a wish fullfilment happy ending? they're not even together or anything. I'm not sure you actually read what anon even posted.Disregarded.
>>291122897Kota's light is too strong.
>>291122157Lara truly turned Mari into a Christian ascetic.
>>291124097Yes, having any kind of indication about return in the ending is retarded wish fulfillment slop. It's just pandering to emotionally weak consumers who want to feed at the trough like the pigs they are. And stop pretending it's not just you lol
>>291124031That's the real issue, most writers aren't even allowed to do hetero romance straightforward. Truth is, I'll watch/read just about any romance as long as it's good, yuri included. The problem with yuri especially is that it's so rare outside of hentai for things to work out for a yuri pairing, and if it does eventually work out it MUST be angsty and stall progress as much as possible. But still, like you said, it's all romance that has this problem at the end of the day.
>>291123936a shame they didn't even do the anko-san bare minimum
>>291123437The Schrodinger's cat thought experiment was an attempt by the eponymous physicist to show the absurd implications of extrapolating the results of matemathical models and subatomic particle experiments to the macroscopic universe. He did NOT in fact claim that a cat could be both dead and alive in any practical sense in the real, observable world (how the FUCK is a cat supposed to be dead and alive at once?) . The famous multiple worlds interpretation of Quantum Mechanics is precisely an attempt to bridge the gap between the robust, verifiable results of said math and experiments at a subatomic level, and their seemingly nonsensical consequences for everyday life and just as importantly, for the way physical objects behave at a larger and astronomical level. Therefore, instead of the cat being dead and alive at the same time until someone opens the box like Schrodinger suggested, this interpretation claims that when the Quantum event happens inside the box, reality itself branches and you get both results, with one observer in one reality getting a dead cat, and another observer in a second reality getting a living cat.
>>291124137I've noticed that subhuman monkeys have this addiction to believing they're smarter than they actually are and anyone disagreeing with them is always this same one person.I really don't get why you monkeys don't just stick to reddit if you want always to be certain about who you're arguing with. Do you just like anonymity because when your arguments are destroyed you can just leave the thread?
>>291124176I should reread this instead of lurking this garbage culture war thread, nothing new has been discussed in a while now.
>>291124137You can't use "muh wish fulfillment" as an argument when the characters aren't acting like human beings to begin with. It's a badly written forced separation ending because that's what these retarded Japs are obsessed with, get over it. You're not smart, they're not smart.
Honestly, this was a bigger disaster for yuri than Hibike was. Because at least that was written in stone it wouldn't work while Lara was up in the air for most of it. Hell, it even seemed locked in until the final 5 minutes.Although it wasn't as popular Hibiki was back then and yuri in general is much bigger than it was in 2015 so it doesn't rock the boat as much as it could've. Plus, we had some yuri originals like G-Witch and Kaguya recently. Hell, there's an upcoming yuri anime that has fucking Nirvana as the OP. I mean, what? Where does that money even come from?
>>291120209Bro at best that line is up to interpretation. You can think they dated on and off or you cannot. I'm pretty sure this both sides shit was the point.
>>291124249Kaguya isn't yuri and GWitch is officially open to interpretation
>>291124242It's very well written, by far one of the most mature stories in the medium in the past few years. Your childish tantrums rejecting it because you hate these ideas just shows how stunted your development is. That's the funny thing about endings like this, they piss off the people who most need to heed the message. But you won't, you'll continue to wallow in mental illness and shitpost day after day.
>>291124276Well, Lara's farewell to Luca was more emotional than her farewell to Mari
It's always funny to see the meltdown. They never learn and keep blaming the writers, directors, etc.
Why is there so much latinx laura art?
>>291124296Kaguya and G-Witch know exactly their audience and stick with itLara feels like this weird amalgamation of trying to appeal to everyone and it ended up satisfying no one
>>291124315>mature is when nobody is happy and characters do random shit for no reason because the director thinks keeping things from the audience makes him seem smartMost obvious brainlet that these kinds of endings are made for because you think they're profound.
>>291124377>random shit for no reasonEverything that happens is clearly explained, often directly in dialogue. You will continue to spam this shit day after day because you are retarded, developmentally disabled. You're a 12 year old on crack who spends all his time shitposting on /a/. You aren't smart, you don't even have good bait arguments. You persist simply because you ban evade and spam from multiple proxies nonstop. I really do wonder what percentage of total posts on the board each day are yours. It's that obvious since you're the only one who ever does this bullshit about "bad writing" despite being completely illiterate and uneducated with no ability to talk about storytelling besides internet brain rot buzzwords.
>>291124181The true implication is that nothing is externally real, and all of the philosophical quandaries with the theory go away as soon as you realize that there's only one true reference frame and separate frames are an illusion created by our awareness. The cat isn't dead and alive at the same time, there's just no point talking about the cat as something external to you. In its own frame of reference, the cat is either dead or alive. Shared reality is an illusion.
I seriously can't wait for the day you finally kill yourself just so we can find out the drop in posting rate
Lara will be remembered as the greatest yuri slayer there is. She knew how to take up the mantle
really now
>>291124365Yeah they should blame the Seele illuminati controlling the industry for the shadows and specifically going after yuri
>>291124440>schizo rambling because he likes a shit endingI accept your concession.
>>291124375It satisfied anti-yuri schizos
>>291124509Do you think it gets any less obvious the more you spend multiple days spamming and samefagging?
>>291124523So people who only "like" the show to dunk on their enemies and won't actually buy the BD or merch
>>291123852How did this Amashit end?
>>291123852>Amanchu!Funnily enough it also had a separation scene at a train station toward the end, but Pikari unconsciously follows Teko onto the train and they make a promise to see each other again (they actually do reunite in the last few pages of the manga). It's the good end Sayonara Lara will never have.
>>291124550Meanwhile I'm salivating to put a Mari figure next to my Kanbaru
>>291124531>more schizo rambling
>>291124574Sure you are.
>>291124582The problem is there's no crowd for you to perform for or hide in, the board's so dead that you always stick out
>>291124296>GWitch is officially open to interpretationYuriCHADs made Bandai walk back on that however
>>291124607I'm going to laugh if the director and/or writer of Sayonara Lara comes out and says he never intended any romance. It would be the cherry on this shit sundae.
Damn Mari dodged a bullet with that vile bitch leaving for good. It won't be hard to find a better girlfriend.
>>291123963Not an argument.>>291124057>people lie in the exact same polls I'm using as evidence because I say so. They also don't have kids (which you've yet to explain why you're conflating with not having sex period, btw) for the reasons I say they are, because I'm a mind reader on top of a colossal faggot >I don't know what same cohort means>I'll exclude China for and Korea for meme reasons... Because I say so, ok? Let's ignore the fact that China lifted its ban on children per household decades ago in some provinces and yet they're in a natality crisis like most of the developed world. >Europe doesn't count because you didn't list countries 1 by 1, heh.It's a long post already but let's please this fat bitch. Europe as it was last recorded has an average birth rate of 1.34 per woman. The catastrophic birth rate in Japan that's so much worse? 1.14 at its record low. But let's look at individual cases. Spain worse record in 2024? 1.10, Italy 2025? 1.14. How about Germany? 1.32. The UK, 1.39. Switzerland 1.39 And those are all rich countries with mass migration propping the numbers (for now, in a few generations all those migrants will have fallen into the exact same trend as the natives, provided their economies either don't fully collapse or somehow take a complete turn for the better).
>>291124636Of course it would, it would be them admitting that they were baiting maliciously. Imagine someone doing the same with a will they won't they hetero series and the director coming out and saying that he never intended romance.
>>291124636Nothing would be lost because there's nothing here to begin with.
>>291124658I just understand why people go to bat so hard when someone brings up Japanese birthratessincerely why the fuck do you care so much?
Did you guys win
>>291124636That was probably the reason, and he went scorched earth in the epilogue because he realized he did a shit job at making that point over the course of the show
>>291124734Neonazi brain rot from the internet
>>291124636Then they're going to release some fuckass yuribait merch
the big question would be why he settled on two female leads on a romance anime to begin with
>>291124636I think it would be more pathetic if he still tries to bait people thinking it's actually yuri to make people read the manga
>>291124757Nobody is going to buy their shit anymore lmao, they managed to piss off everyone
>>291124757what is fuckass yuribait?
>>291124765No anon you don't understand, I NEED to pretend to be making yuri. How am I supposed to make an anime without yuri bait? Is that even possible?
>>291124783It's always the Chineses
>>291124783What can I do to directly take money out of Kinema Citrus' and Shiga's pockets? I could just pirate the series multiple times according to the Japanese, but I want something more direct.
>>291124783Wow it really seems like people on twitter didn't like it...You should go back there
>>291124734I don't care if the Japanese go extinct save for the fact that I like their funny pictures in both animated and printed format, but that anon is a retard peddling retarded arguments and bad understanding of statistics, and I have time today so I had to take him to school.
>>291124734Genuinely, they wish they were Japanese and they wish they could fuck a Japanese woman to bring up them birth rates.They're that fucking weird.
>>291124783they obviosly didn't know what they were doing, they made a plush of Mari's brother, who the hell would want that? makes me wonder if there was supposed to be more there with him
>>291124784anal fisting yuri involving fishing equipment
>>291124734NTA>bring up meme stats>get countered with more meme stats >w...why you care so much!!! *drops hrt*Dont bring meme stats to a thread about lesbiab mermaids and seething
>>291124841>literally a draw at best with the worst birthrates in the entire world>heh, it's not the worst by a margin though! got you!kek.
>>291124826The more you seed their shows the more they lose money. Or at least that's how they want you to think when bringing up potential losses to piracy.
>>291124734Chinese, or maybe even Koreans, trying to deflect from their birthrates being just as bad(worse in SK case).
>>291124658Destroyed that bitch
>>291124369Because they are actual anime fans. That's why they got the Madoka movie, and burgerland didn't.
>>291122108Lara is off to another town to seduce another young lesbian and right before the girl is about to commit, Lara sayonaras to the next town to repeat the cycle.
>>291125143The sequel anime's going to be about a long-lived Mermaid who's still struggling to find the meaning of true love, as she journeys across Japan in Lara: Beyond Journey's End.
>>291119627If they weren't allowed to have a good ending in the anime proper, chances are they won't be allowed to add it in an OVA or BD special. The manga might have more leeway but I wouldn't count on it.
>>291124636That still wouldn't explain why Lara randomly decided to callously leave Mari after realizing she's her true love and declaring she wants to be with her.
This ending left such a foul taste in my mouth that I must go rewatch revue
>>291124775the manga will continue after Laura leaves and she realizes being alone sucks and being cared for by her tomboy gf was superior. then when she goes back to mari, mari will have drunken a poison to turn into a boy so they won't have to worry about yuri
>>291125412Thanks for the light bitch!
>>291124945The argument wasn't even about birth rates you illiterate mongoloid. The point was that everywhere you look, developed countries are almost always below replecament rates (almost like this has been predicted by economistas in one way or another since the fucking 18th century), and yet, it has absolutely nothing to do with the meme reasons (like muh gender wars, or Japanese women finding Japanese men icky) put forward by some demented yuriwhales in this thread.
>>291125472*replacement
these threads will not survive the week brehs
>>291125705Good riddance
>>291122157
>>291125732It was foretold.
>>291125763I feel like I wouldn't care about the ending so much if Mari wasn't so dang likeable
>>291125412Best guess is she wants to see more of Japan now that she’s not on a time limit. Her dagger exploding and scattering across the sky as opposed to Rigmore’s big Singular light with Rowan seems to imply she chose humanity as a whole as her love.
>>291125873>imply she chose humanity as a whole as her loveIf that's the case then what's with the speech about her entire reason for still wanting to live is because of Mari?
>>291125873>seems to imply she chose humanity as a whole as her loveLike the anon said, it still doesn't explain why she was so callous to Mari and noticeably less so toward Luca. It was just a bitter separation ending made to spite the viewer. They knew their audience, they purposely catered to them and baited the yuri, they know what they did.
>>291125804The director felt he couldn't push Lara forward without making Mari suffer.
I can't fucking get over this comparison
this anime lives rent free in my headI still don't understand WHYEven mari didn't understand whylike there's no fucking VALID REASONalso why the fuck was mari smiling at the end?"WOW LMAO THE WOMAN I LOVE IS ABANDONING ME TO FIND HERSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"like WHAT THE FUCKWHY
Mari needs a boxing anime where she gets a rival girlfriend who doesn't play with her heart, mistreat her and abandon her.
>>291125804I find Mari's story to be much more engaging than Lara's.>she loved her mom more than anyone else, but lost her at a young age>she had a hard time making friends>Grace becomes her mother figure>then Lara appears, becoming Mari's first partner>in Lara, Mari finds a reason to try harder than she did before>she finally finds happiness, but Lara doesn't seem to realize how much she matters to Mari, obsessing over "true love" instead>in the end, Grace dies, while Lara is taken away>Mari throws caution to the wind, sacrificing her life for Lara>Lara accepts Mari's feelingsAnd the story would've been perfect if it ended here, but then Lara leaves Mari, which feels downright heartless.
>>291126019>(and also erics dog dies)
>>291126019what comparison
>>291124320man....
>>291126073I remember seeing a suggestion early on that Mari should’ve been the full main character and I kinda agree now
>>291125705good, once all the good will from this show has completely rotted away we can forget about it
>>291126073Yeah, Mari was the best thing to come out of this anime. Hopefully she gets tons of non-H doujins and H doujins showing her after the story ended continuing her life without Lara.
>>291126070>also why the fuck was mari smiling at the end?We call that the cuck smile 'round these parts.
>>291126073It's amazing how quickly they were able to destroy a good storyline, going from>local girl comes to learn what love is after meeting her fated one to>local girl loses everything she cares about because her fated one decided to leave ber
>>291126070Its the typical young women bullshit but applied to a yuri story, cant say its not inovative.
>2 week advanced screening for the ending>Kinema really thought they cooked with this one
I’m actually curious to see what kind of post-finale PR we get. How long is the official account gonna keep posting for? Will they let Koide, the writer, etc. say anything or go radio silent for fear of causing more drama? Will they actually manage to sell any merch?
>>291126159Also all the Lara x Mari fanart I have saved is just annoying to look at now.
this scene was more yuri than the entirety of Lara
>>291126142this is an all time classic at worse it will become flip flap tiier on this board
>>291126222you can't even lie without making a typo man
>>291126159>All the doujins will be about Ryona, how she becomes punchdrunk and can't even tie her own shoelaces anymore, or about how she gets the million dollar baby treatment.
>>291126202Just delete them then retard.
>>291126159>>291126202The vast majority of fanworks and doujinshi will completely ignore the last few minutes of the show, and you can't blame them when they do.
>>291126265Man this doujin was so fucking hot
>>291126070And by "cuck smile" I mean this.
>>291126246girl on girl ryona is still yuri ;)
Is there anything /u/posters do besides losing and coping and losing and coping and losing and coping...?
>>291126304Yeah, we all do your mom.
>>291126311N-no, my mum is loyal to my dad...
>>291126311Thanks, she's actually feeling quite lonely being a medicated schizo and all.
>>291126282I'm glad footfag tanuki was acknowledged and rewarded
>>291126216it's crazy how much more straightforward lel this anime would've been if the leads had been Lara and a guy
>>291118706japanese language is vague so it could mean multiple things
>>291126070>also why the fuck was mari smiling at the end?She’s probably happy Lara isn’t like a lost puppy tailing behind her anymore. Also they clearly show Lara can use a phone properly now so it’s not like they’ll never talk to each other again.
>>291126070Like it or not, it's these kinds of endings that really stick with you. I still vividly remember finishing End of Evangelion for the first time around 2007, and then going back to the torrent to check if I'd forgotten to download the last file or something.
Yuri always works best as a tragedy, because being a woman its by itself a tragic outcome, so double the tragedy, double the pain.
>>291125873But why did she have to move out? She didn't tell Mari why she was leaving. She didn't tell Mari when or if she'll come back for her. Even if Lara leaving to see more of humanity was set up by the writing (it wasn't), it didn't have to be executed like that. She just abandoned her.
Love the implication that a consensual homosexual relationship was as toxic and suffocating for Lara as a forced heterosexual relationship that both parties were uncomfprtable with.
>>291118706It's probably just some/u/fags, cos the usual yuri threads anons are shitting on his cope
>>291126359This scene feels gayer than gay sex somehow.
>>291126236nothing about it was a lie
>>291126363EoE is an all time classic follow up to another classic. Sayonara Lara is not.You can excuse and look deeper into one. Not the other.
>>291126389Not like Lara ever had a normal relationship to compare anything to. Jumping straight to whatever Lara decided to do is retarded.
Such a shame about the ending. I really love the sound and visual direction.
>>291126216Gwitch was so good with these moments. They almost cancel out how bad the show got when they spent almost the entire second cour leaving the girls in separation with zero relationship development in favor of shit that didn't matter.
>>291126142I feel that this show can't be completely forgotten just from sheer WTF factor because it was the first time something tanked so close to the finish line with something that didn't need to exist and was worse than anything anyone imagined. That epilogue didn't resolve any plot points. All it did was set everything it built perfectly on fire.
>>291126446What even was this sky changing stuff. They didn't do a good job with how it even worked.
>>291126474Domain Expansion
>>291126463>the leaks sounded better than the real thing somehow
>>291126446Yeah such a waste honestlyThis is one of the most beautiful anime in recent years
>>291126403You can look deeper into whatever you please, and the desire to do so defines what a classic is. As much as I want to see a continuation with Lara and Mari reuniting, I also have to admit that this ending caused enough discourse this season to match Mushoku Tensei's most pivotal episode, which is a big deal.That is to say, I think Sayonara Lara is not going to be forgotten by anyone. I wouldn't call it a classic on the same level as something like Utena, but it's gonna be up there. And the ending is part of it.
>>291126246Endless douijns of Mari cucking Lara.
>>291126366This wasn't a tragedy. A tragic ending would've been one of Lara and Mari sacrificing themselves to save the other. A tragic ending would've been the two affirming their love for each other but they must stay apart because of plot reasons (don't pretend that's what happened). This was just nonsense.
>>291126507You're living in the same headspace as the people who ruin modern media. Don't give them what they want, be bold and challenging! Only then can you deliver something truly great. Only then you can call yourself one the greats.Eat a bag of dicks. You people killed Hollywood.
>>291126494>"You haven't even watched the episode yet. You don't know the dialogue and context. It'll make sense when you know the reasons behind it.">the dialogue and context makes Lara look even worse somehow
>>291126474Kota won
Oh yeah and I forgot.MT is only as popular as it is because it gives the audience what they want.
>>291126222Flip Flappers was unironically KINO though. Like, I don't give a fuck about Yuri specifically, but I started this show drawn by its unusual look and it seemed to be animated well enough in its trailer, but this show didn't deliver on the animation and overall audiovisual experience in the level Flip Flappers did, not even the best version possible of this show would have done that, I think. Plus, listen to this fucking ED and look at its presentation, what a treat. https://youtu.be/-XuEyho9mM0?si=Uf6P3t_rYQXFq-_WThe fact that it turbo flip flopped only cemented its status as a cult gem.
>>291124369Spics love yuri the most only surpassed by chinks
>>291126461I'd forgive them if they have something interesting to say about the politics but it was irreverent in the end too.
>>291126446desu despite my qualms with the last scene i really loved this series and I'm going to be thinking about it for a long time.
>>291126403>EoE is an all time classic follow up to another classic. Sayonara Lara is not.The Little Mermaid is a classic
>>291126636This was the moment when Lara finally decided that she'll go Sayonara
>>291126544In 1995, the reactions to Evangelion's ending looked pretty much exactly the same as what we're seeing here. Coping, moping, tons of hate mail sent directly to Anno (because the Internet wasn't big enough to accommodate everyone's rage), people swearing off Eva forever. It was infamous, and Gainax proceeded to capitalize on it in every way possible, including EoE, which didn't even resolve anything. Utena was the same - the original show ends with something even less romantic than what we got here. And both of those shows went down in history because everything about them, including the weird confusing ending, resonated with the audiences.This show definitely resonated with me, which is why I'm still here talking about it instead of just putting it on the shelf along with all the other seasonal shows I've watched. And I feel like I'll keep following it.
>>291126654>In 1995You weren't even born by 1995.
>>291126653Was this show about a dad trying to prevent his daughter from going down the wrong path and failing?
>>291124636There are interviews already available where the cast and staff said Goodbye Lara is about female friendship and not romantic love
>>291126461>when they spent almost the entire second cour leaving the girls in separation with zero relationship development in favor of shit that didn't matter.This right here is exactly why the show was dogshite as a Gundam series and why Sunrise was retarded for making it in the first place. They should've never tried to cater to you ""people"", it's literally casting pearls before swines.
>>291126670As a matter of fact, I was.
>>291126474The Light is some kind of godlike power that can spawn life from nothing.As for the sky changing, it looked cool.
>>291125118Didn't Trump rise the taxes to foreign movies? I think that's a mistake considering a large portion of magatards are otakus but who understand current politics
>>291126654The 1995 ending of eva was more open to interpretation in interesting ways. No one is even that interested in diving into Lara's ending because we can kind of already guess what we'll find, and no one likes the answer.
>>291126695Watch your Hathaway and pipe it down bitch.
>>291126654The thing with Eva is that the show heavily broadcasted that shit was headed toward some weird ending where the world ends. In that case, the ass pull ending would have been things magically working out somehow (see the final rebirth movie). Lara leaving and treating Mari like shit was not broadcasted at all, it was about her learning to love and become human until it wasn't in the last five minutes. No human does what Lara did unless they're lobotomized.
>>291126695SuleMio won. You lost. Cope for all eternity.
>>291126732>No one is even that interested in diving into Lara's endingTwitter definitely disagrees.
>>291126019Hey, at least Eric confessed his love to Ariel. That's more of what Mari achieved
>>291126363>>291126654Evangelion's ending did not betray its own theme and buildup (quite the opposite actually). Neither did Utena's. There is a vast difference between an ending that relies heavily on metaphor, and one that simply shoots itself in the foot.
>>291126769stopget some helplove yourself
>>291126774I mean they did say they want to live together on but I guess that's the usual corporate-filtered """confession"""
I'm not a CD or vinyl guy usually but I may have to get the OST when it releases cause I've been listening to the songs we do have non stop.https://youtu.be/f9rXyRAW_Ck?si=NutbH084A6gmTvhN
What's another original whose reputation was ruined by a shitty ending? Sonny Boy? Franxx?
>>291126359Kaguya stating that she fell in love with Iroha's beautiful face at first sight was already more yuri than anything Lara could hope to be
>>291126818Franxx had turned to shit loooong before the end.
>>291126818Franxx went to shit by like the halfway point and it's plot wasn't anything to write home about in the first place.
>>291126572But Goodbye Lara gave me what I wanted.
I would love to know what Mari thinks of having been stabbed in the heart and dying. She's cool on the outside but I want to know her deepest thoughts on the matter. The ones that kept her up all night at times during the 6 month time skip.
>>291126818There's nothing wrong with Sonny Boy's ending. Self-inserters need a kick in the balls
>>291126769>Twitter definitely disagrees.I just checked and the first 30 messages were all people complaining. No one was having an actual discussion.
>>291126841Ok albino.
>>291126845What kept Mari up all night was Lara's moans while having sex with Luca.
>>291126867imagine how Mari feels looking Lara date and breakup with Luca constantly despite him not doing anything other than being there after she died btw
>Socks and sandalsCome on Mari
>>291126740I read the novels well over a decade ago. In Japanese, EOP bitch.>>291126761Well, I don't give a fuck about that so suck on it.
>>291126855There's plenty of other stuff, come on now.
>>291118770I'd fucking shoot your heart out and feed it to my fish you mentally deranged nigger
>>291126893Literally the patriarchy. Damn, I love being a straight man
>>291118528I don't know what can he say. Is even possible for Lara to sink ever further?
>>291126923That's a yurifag trying to cope. Where's the discussing about the themes of the show?
Any JSL speaking authoritatively on the correct way to read that countless line is a fraud. It's ambiguous in jp too.
Lisa and Kota were the real winnersKota won the hardest, I'd invite him for pints at the bar out of respect for that mad lad.
BROS
>>291126920>I read the novels well over a decade ago. In Japanese, EOP bitch.Riiight. So you've been at this for that long and still get triggered at people enjoying Gundam in the wrong way? For SHAME.
>>291126572MT is popular because it has the only semi decently written world building in all of Isekaishit (which is still a low as hell bar) and because the girls are hot. It was never going to have the same kind of appeal or try for the same kind of audience as this.
>>291126845>Weren't we all born to love someone?Mari is a hopeless romantic underneath her distant demeanor. And just like many princes in the past she was taken advantage of by a filthy mermaid just to keep their disgusting race alive.
>>291126591LMAO
>>291118528>I genuinely want to know what he meant by this ending.She's Jesus and the people who are upset are too fucking dense to think beyond their genitals and deserve this hell they've made for themselves.
>>291126936What's this thing's problem?
>>291126591I think this is 100% queerbaiting now
>>291118528A thread died for this piece of shit?

>>291126972AIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>291126972Too bad. Bridges already burned. Try not fucking up at the very last second next time.>>291126993I bet nobody can coherently explain the religious symbolism.
>>291126972LUCABROS IT'S TIME
>>291126591I told yurifags this mean Lara feeling accepted by the human world but they refused to listen. Look at them now
>>291126982The problem isn't enjoying Gundam "in the wrong way" you retard, the problem is that you just said you care absolutely nothing for Gundam and its themes, world, idyosincrasy and just wanted it to be windowdressing for yurishit, and you're clearly not alone in thinking that. Of course Bandai and Sunrise were right to kick you faggots to the curve, you literally would do nothing but poison what's left of the franchise's corpse.
>>291127053Well the story itself kept pushing it. There's not just a single scene.
>>291126551She did.
Why are we still here?
>>291127041The symbolism or the meaning behind it?
>>291127059>Of course Bandai and Sunrise were right to kick you faggots to the curveThey tried and failed, the show went with the yuri ending and that damage control tweet did nothing but make people disregard the higher ups as useless faggots even more than they already did. You lost.
>>291127074It was Class S played straight
Sayonara Lara is a feminist story about women's societal pressures to have children. And some anti-racism as well. That's it.
>>291127059>you just saidAlright buddy. Hoping it's near you bed time.And "Bandai and Sunrise" hadn't said shit since the director confirmed the faggot marriage.And go fuck yourself. Imagine thinking this franchise is still worth a shit outside of the material Tomino wrote.
>>291127038i think it's different
>>291126969I just realized something neat. Her hair here looks like a fish about to eat Kota.
>>291126729I completely forgot about that. I guess the rest of the world is giving the US the middle finger on this one. Imagine Madoka not being accessible there until a webrip drops mid 2027.
>>291126687Why the fuck did she just abandon her friend after she lost everything (which all had to do with her)?
>>291127078*He
>>291127167HEEHEE
I finally get the ending...
>>291127183Can't read this
>>291127157Mari was an important friend but at the end she was a phase in Lara'a development. Read more shoujo
>>291127078*Xe
>>291127183>well you see unlike most anime I wanted mine to be deep and meaningful
>>291127183I can read this but choose not to
>>291126969>him
>>291127192I read a lot of shoujo manga and most don't have characters as shitty as Lara. They can also have female friend characters without yuri bait.
>>291127183wow how TOUGH!!
I think that the anime was great and compared to various other original anime it is way betterThe ending wasn't that bad you fucking nerds, could have it been done better? Yes.Is it the worst thing ever? NoNow here's some tomboy MILF Mari and an older Lara and have a good fucking nightYou fucking nerds
>>291126352She didn't need to move to a different prefecture for that.
>>291127183>tfw to smart too rite a gud ending
>>291127183>タフで生っぽい作品にしたかった>同時にわかりやすさを犠牲にする道でもあるThat's stupid as fuck. They already got their point across with Lara finding a job and getting over her fears. The ending was unnecessary.
>>291127223MILF Mari looks like a bulldyke
>>291127241She looks like Kota.
>>291127183Read. I still don't get it.
>>291127192Then Lara was a shitty friend to abandon Mari like that.
>>291127241Not with amazing tits like that, I'd turn her into my cow if you know what I mean
>>291127103You will NEVER see a Gundam series with a yuri main couple again. And good riddance. Shit, count yourself lucky if you ever see a lesbian side couple at any Gundam show at all. >>291127118They don't have to. You maggots are already persona no grata, and you don't even realize it. And this has nothing to do with UC vs AUs, the issue here is that trying to cavort with you faggots was a mistake, and now even the retarded suits know it. You're pests, and you will ALWAYS be.
>>291127233Mari and Lara had a mother-daughter relation. Lara leaving is like a daughter going to college
>>291127265Look at the state of the franchise, faggot. LOOK AT IT.You have better things to seethe about.
>>291127183He's basically blaming the audience for being too stupid to understand lmao.
>>291119194>>291122923>Guel won>Luca won?
>>291127254Friendship is a guy thing
>>291127265Imagine being this mad over gay Chinese cartoons
>>291127241She's a professional boxer and a professional lesbian
>>291127223>nobody's is commenting the wedding ringsBoth are married to men, btw.
Not even Mari Okada was as savage against yuri as the Lara writers
>>291127307Me.
>>291127307yeah both to me.
>>291127241Mari would be a top tier tomboy mom. her being a lesbo would be a waste desu.
>>291127336Lara is out of the picture so Mari can marry Luca
>>291127318Why do you love your "yuri slayer" faggots so much but this guy makes your anus bleed so much?Also why do you hate yuri so much? Were you cucked by a lesbian or something?
>>291127350How fucking mad would yirifags get if that happened?
>>291127350Luca's pencil dick better not get anywhere near Mari
>>291127363They're a dead horse at this point. Would you get any pleasure from kicking them further?
>>291127365Lara liked Luca's dick. She liked it a lot.
>>291127381but not as much as anon does
>>291127265we getting yaoi main couple next
>>291058592>Hibike/Kumiko thread completely devoid of Shuuichi autismI wonder what happened to him
>>291127396Luca's biggest fan is Goodbye Lara's main writer
>>291127409his second biggest fan? anon
>>291127381You sure love saying dicks, anon. Have you sucked some before?
>>291127398That would make infinitely more sense. Fujos have carried Gundam since its inception
>half the thread is filteredYep, it's that time of day again.
manila
>>291127360>Also why do you hate yuri so much? Were you cucked by a lesbian or something?They're gay and thus hate all women. Even more so when it's two women. It's the same posters who call Luca a twink or that they want to fuck him.
>>291127379ALWAYS.
>Unironically wanting his waifus to have boyfriends and getting fucked by themHetcucks never learn and they keep losing like cucks. WaifuCHADs stay winning.>>291127444The faggot is just hiding his yuri slayer shit to mask his homosexuality>>291127440Sorry that you're such a faggot
>>291127478matabaname your top 5 favorite yuri manga, mr yuri defender
>>291126654The end of the Evangelion TV show was esoteric because they ran out of budget. EoE didn't undo anything about it. Sayonara Lara's ending is just baffling. We don't know why they ended it like that, but the thing is it isn't unsalvageable. In fact, it would be very easy to save it with a film or ova, but chances are whatever reason made them create this ending would also be the reason they won't do that.
>>291127478>Hetcucksanyone who uses the word 'het' is cancer as well
>>291127265>You will NEVER see a Gundam series with a yuri main couple againI'm fine with that, I like all types of romance. Gwitch was about space lesbians from the start and it was still about space lesbians in the end, the relationship was an important part of the plot and despite the meddling things still worked out okay. The only thing I have a problem with is when a relationship is baited for viewership and the show doesn't follow through. I get mad when this happens with straight romance, it can happen, just absolutely not as much as shows baiting yuri.
>>291127398>>291127426Already tried that with IBO (trying to bait yaoifags, I mean) and it was a bust. The fujos who like Gundam are fine with it being subtextual, I guess.
>>291127443>>291127493>>291127496>>291127440The fuck is wrong with this idolFAGGOT?
>>291127514Idk
>>291127514no one who is straight uses the word 'het'. stop falseflagging.
What's going on here?
Hold on, let me see if this works.
>>291127523So you admit to using it then
>>291127307Mari's just visiting her FRIEND Lara, who she knows is a dirty whore that cheats on her husband. Mari is going back to her cute wife though.
>>291127508IBO was successful at the time. But then the director pulled a Lara and detonated his own series. Who would want to care about ship where both characters died horribly for no fucking reason?
>>291127539Doesn't seem to work
>>291127543If I were gay then yes I would. I'm not gay so I don't.
>>291127495>because they ran out of budgetThis is actually a common myth. While they did go over budget, they did not run out of money completely. Anno actually intended the ending to be like that.
>>291127363I don't think that would make anyone any madder than the ending itself did.
I remember some faggot mentioned "John Cena" last thread. Well here he can have this Cena
>>291127557With how much you're obsessed with another man's penis and sex life, it could only be that you're very gay.
>>291127457One of a number of ultimately pointless scenes given the ending.
What if both of you are gay but tsundere for each other??
>>291127578Sorry but homosexuality is a mental illness. Using words like 'het' is a mental illness. Get help.
>>291126972Imagine >>291127350 >>291127457>>291127363It'll be so bafflingly stupid since it's not built up in any way and Luca and Mari have no interactions outside of Lara but after that ending it hilariously won't be unexpected. In fact, it'll probably confirm some people's suspicions.
>>291127586It had a purpose. Just not one you will like.
>>291127601You're the most mentally ill person on /a/
>>291127610What's the purpose of that scene when Lara leaves Mari (and in the end they're facing in opposite directions) with no indication that they will be together in the near future or future at all? Without headcanon please.
>>291126972Enough.We've already said goodbye to Lara.
>>291127109>Sayonara Lara is a feminist storyIt would be if Mari was a boy
>>291127624Why? Because I'm saying the truth? I also notice you haven't once denied being gay.
>>291127659Mari is too manly to be a boy
>>291126072That doesn't fix things. It'll just feel like an obligatory consolation prize to mitigate how Mari was done dirty after everything that was built up in Sayonara Lara.
>>291126972I know it'll most likely be a nothingburger, but damn, imagine if they actually give us a glimpse of Lara and Mari in the future or something. At least show them holding hands or something.
>>291127635Well, you see, life is cruel and this is a deep anime unlike others.
>>291127471Based
>>291127586>>291127635I guess the point was to show that Mari's mom was fucking wrong.
>>291126818Charlotte
>>291119784Not every gal can be as alpha as Ange.
>>291127696They'll show them at a cafe with Lara staring at her phone the whole time. And with something to shit on Mari even more. >>291127716>mom dead>mom's dying wish to see her daughter with someone she loves still unfulfilled
>>291127716but dead anime moms are supposed to be all knowing...it's literally in the rules
>>291127444>It's the same posters who call Luca a twink or that they want to fuck him.Those were yurifaggots who wanted him to be gay so he couldn't be a threat to their ship, and too bad for them it backfired
>>291126972Can't help but think they are going to post something that'll rub salt into the wound they made today.
>>291127761>todaybeen two days already breh
>>291127696>>291127728Clearly you're not in the same headspace as the writers.It's gonna be a picture of Lara, Mari, and Luca together.And Lara will have her pre-epilogue design, just to twist the knife a bit.And in response, I will personally draw a picture of Mari committing suicide by jumping off a roof.
>>291127659>It would be if Mari was a boyMari is just a friend though. Lara left to go ride the cock carousel.
>>291127805Mari needs to live. Draw her beating up the writer and director.
Fuck you anons for bullying my sweet boy Luca who was being taken advantage of by a perfidious siren.
>>291126972we are so back yuri bros

>>291126972I remember when Kaguya announced the Ray MV and I was so hyped for itI don't feel anything about this right now
This has to go down in history. Is this unprecedented? This isn't failing to deliver on yurifag expectations. Sayonara Lara gave the audience exactly what they wanted then in the last 5 minutes blew it all up in their hands.
>>291127930It didn't give me everything I wanted. They teased kissing 3 times and showed one actual one but there was nothing for the ending with Lara and Mari. But I definitely would have felt much better without those last 8 minutes or if they didn't suck shit.
>>291127109wtf i was JUST thinking about playing muv luv
>>291118770Sanest yurinigger.
>>291127960Most adept Japanese ending writer.
>Lisa tells Mari that humans became blind ro true loves light>Lara no longer recognizes the light of true love and leaves MariIs it supposed to be that bleak?
>>291127953How would you feel if they did kiss in the climax then the epilogue ended the same exact way?
>>291128013NTA but if they kissed and the ending kept that same tone more so than sequence of events, I would have assumed something terrible happened in those 6 months.
So what shall we latch onto for the fall season?
>>291128054I don't think there's any yuri to look forward to.
>>291128054I'm just gonna wait for MygoMujica season 3
>>291128054Lulutto Lilly will be incest yuri in its second cour for sure! And also these two.
>>291126831>>291126834I know Franxx was always shit, but normalfags ate it up anyway, yet after the finale the show vanished, despite being everywhere while it was airing.
>>291126818Usagi DROPPED.
>>291128112Wait shit I'm retarded, not only was that not original, it was ruined by the source material's ending.
>>291122870>There's a reason nip women are disgusted with their men.Tbh so are western women with their men, zoomers are the most sexless generation
>>291126818Can't believe NO ONE mentioned Erased
>>291128067Zombie Sagashitemasu has an all-female cast, might be /u/?
I believe in Mari's happiness.
she looks so dirty now
>>291128142Not yuri
>>291123374They all fuck chads retard
>>291127991It isn't, remember the siblings calling out about the light in Lara's voice. She had found true love with both Luca and Mari (to different extents as shown by the different size of their associated lights) and was capable of sustaining them somewhat. It's not because of the light or lack of it that she leaves Mari but rather because she needs to develop into a full person who can get closer to others without lashing out due to lingering resentment. Just because the magical stuff was all resolved doesn't mean her heart itself has changed yet. And Mari knows it too which is why she stops herself after she has her outburst and forces Lara to leave without voicing any doubt or criticism or placing any expectations on her. She doesn't speak up again except to ask about Lara's legs out of concern. The ending isn't bleak at all.
>>291128191Man, there goes my only reason to watch it.
>>291127930I think this is the latest I've ever seen a show completely shit the bed. Usually the trainwreck is more telegraphed. Things start falling apart an episode or two before the end. But managing to ruin everything in the last 6 minutes, that's probably some kind of record.
>>291128189It's like they're not even the same character.
>>2911281896 months of ____ing does a lot of things to your body
>>291127009And many more will until we get our way. Consider yourself warned.
>>291127280>Look at the state of the franchise,That's his point, gwitch was literally the same garbage gundam has been doing past the 90s but it only got fans cause of yuri shit
>>291126818Well, on the topic of yuri, Jellyfish. Nobody likes it or defends it.
>>291128277real shame people will defend Lara in the future because it makes them feel like smarter pseuds
>>291128216>only reasonYou fucking idiot.
>>291128277Jellyfish shat the bed on the garbage final arc.Lara's final arc WAS good, it's just the final 6 minutes that ruined it for no reason.
>>291128287I already resent these people but I'm numb to the cope. Whenever a post starts spouting head canon my eyes just glaze over and I move on.
>>291128142Isn't it from the non-pink Bocchi author?Might be standard CGDCT then
>>291128306Is resenting imaginary people what propels you to shitpost for months? I guess that's why you samefag so much if you're emotionally dependent on shitposting
>>291128189She aged 15 years in 6 months.
>>291128320dumbfuck
>>291128298Not a big fan of zombies.
>>291128328fuckdumb
>>291128337and FUCK Lara
Yusisters will you watch grotesque? It has a vampire polycule
>>291128328Kill yourself soon please, I'm torn in suspense over guessing what percentage of the board's daily activity is just you shitposting. You don't have to announce it or anything, it'll be noticeable pretty quick when your buzzwords disappear and all the threads you make never get remade.
when I come back that illustration better be something lulz worthy
>>291127280It would take a blind retard not to notice it's in shambles, especially the AU entries, but that's not an excuse to kill it for good by pursuing opportunistic, gnawing rats like Yurishitters who don't care about it all except when it serves as a vehicle for your fetishistic masturbatory material. >>291127286How about you suck my hairy nuts, faggot. Fuck off.
>>291128365this shit anime must've broken your fucking mind and I'm sorry but I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about
It's funny when the tourists from /v/ try to do console wars shit for anime despite having zero information about the industry
i dont get itis lara a slut?
>>291128398See you tomorrow when you're reposting the same garbage, retard
>>291128411we can ask luca
>>291127006>queerbaitingDon't bring your shitty west slop into yuri spaces
>>291128411Yes. She converted a nice Christian girl into a lesbian and then went off to get more dick.
Lmao even the seething gundam schizo is here. Truly schizos hour
>>291128385You still post on /m/? You have this very specific mindset and rhetoric that makes me believe you people are reason everyone left and we have to put with Duel making endless shit threads that never go anywhere and which he keeps bumping endlessly.G-Witch invited so many retards. And you niggers let those people in because they too hated trannies or some shit.You go look at that catalogue right now. It's the bed you made. You will now lie in it. G-Witch? Still talked about on Twitter or Reddit. Even /u/. But /m/? Fucking dead.
>>291128300I can't even think of another show that has ever cratered as hard and as fast as Lara, that's the thing. Usually the cracks start showing up far earlier like Jellyfish's divorce arc. This came out of absolutely nowhere (and made no fucking sense at all) and that's why it hurts so bad.
>>291128226>>291128468It's amazing. I didn't think it was possible to shit the bed that close to the end. It's funny to think that if it weren't for those final few minutes, Sayonara Lara could've become /a/'s AOTY. I wonder if someone will make a release cutting out the last 5 minutes, and maybe replace it with an AMV of the OP and ED.
If you samefag to agree with yourself while spamming the same narrative for days, it'll make it true!
>>291128462Can I just say, I don't post on /m/ at all, and so the only times I see it referenced on /a/ is when somebody goes>Oh I know this guy he's a psycho from /m/which happens shockingly often
>>291128462Nta but gwitch lost. Even if it had better pacing and got all the content it needed without cuts it would still be a mediocre gundam series at best.
>>291127281>you expected satisfying ending>too bad RUMAO!!!!!!!!!>*proceeds to sniff his own farts*truly groundbreaking
>>291128508I'm sure somebody is working on that fancut as we speak. But it is a bit like brushing a dog turd off off of a cake. It might still be a tasty treat underneath but you will be hard-pressed to find anyone willing to stomach it.
>>291128546It won't be to make yourself feel better. It's so you can show it to your friends and pretend the epilogue doesn't exist.
Someone who worked in the final decided to post a cute little fanart.
>>291128320I''m not your schizo boyfriend. And they aren't imaginary. Fuck this guy >>291128530I don't even care if he's trolling. Fuck him anyway.
>>291128587Maybe they should have made Lara like this after the time skip instead of how she was. Putting what people want in bonus shit is retarded.
>>291128619>a thread op makes you seethe so muchMove on, faggot. Go outside, touch some grass and have some sex instead of still being obsessed with a meh chinese cartoon
>>291128619Do you think it hasn't been obvious how you've been forcing this narrative even since last week and double time since the episode aired? There isn't enough traffic on the board for your forcing these things not to be immediately apparent.
>>291128647I've been avoiding these threads because of the early screening, dipshit.Also what narrative? The narrative that the ending sucks? Wow, super hot fucking take, really had to force that one.And that applies to both Sayonara Lara and Jellyfish, if that's what you're fucking mad about.
>>291128208I don't really understand the outrage in these threads. Would an ending where Lara continues living as she was with Mari work? I see how Lara was living as being dead and only at the end was she truly reborn.
>>291128454>everyone I don't agree with is my boogeymanTalk about irony. >>291128462I left /m/ years before Gwitch, so I don't know what you're talking about, but even if I didn't nothing you said here invalidates my argument. There would be nothing left out of Gundam if it was to be sold out piece by piece to serve as a shell to other fanbases. That's exactly how so many other franchises died.
>>291118770and yuritroons still wonder why everyone hates them
>>291128708>I don't really understand the outrage in these threadsIt's a few tourists from /vpol/ (or twitter, as you can tell by how they obsessively post screencaps of twitter posts instead of just staying on twitter) and two or three particularly mentally ill shitposters. There essentially is no outrage, it's all manufactured as a fake drama they can shitpost about and ruin discussion. That's it. That's why they spam the same things and samefag to agree with it over and over. They brought the leaks here specifically to start up that sort of shitposting cycle and then went with whatever to do it again for the last episode. The goal is just shitposting because they're tourists who don't actually watch and enjoy anime.
>>291128462>G-Witch? Still talked about on Twitter or Reddit. Even /u/. But /m/? Fucking dead.Have you thought about going there and stay go so you can talk about your favorite nonmecha slop, then?
>>291126654>tons of hate mail sent directly to Annothis is a myth that has been parroted for yearsAnno never got much hatemail if any at all. Evageeks has an article about it
>>291126818>Sonny Boythe only faggots that mope about its ending are the NEETs that populate this boardI've literally never seen anyone else complain about it
>>291128189>thousand cock stare
What a bullshitty thread. I'm going to jerk off to yaoi on Pixiv
>>291128952rope urself faggot
>>291128819Complaining about Sonny Boy's ending beyond the fact that the MC didn't get with his high school crush would entail that someone understood its story and could make head or tails about what it was trying to say beyond superficial themes of coming of age and being a part of society as a youth, so I believe you.
>>291127284Yuri kinda whips ass.
