Both are single. Also there's a constrast because Mari is a tomboy while Luca is a twink. Mari can teach Luca to be more manly while Luca can teach her to be more in contact with her feelings

I'll give the manga a shot. Sometimes they're different enough to make them worth reading. I like Healer Girl's tie in manga for instance. Even if the ending is more or less the same maybe the manga can improve the tone and Lara's character.

>>291148359
It's not yuribaiting when it's just yuri. I have no idea how the separation ending made some retards miss the part where Lara literally spells her feelings for Mari.

Because they're trying really hard to not make it actually yuri and still left room for deniability.

I have no idea how retards like you can call it yuri when Lara immediately rejects those feelings and leaves her to search for a "new light", while only ever treating Luca as a potential romantic partner

>>
>>291148720
>>Lara's light is not like other lights (which could be interpreted as not being romantic)
How? It's the true love's light Grace was talking about. It's exactly what Lara was looking for while searching for her prince.
>Still tried to date Luca multiple times (which means she's straight)
One - the "multiple times" thing is entirely up to your interpretation, it's vague, and only the English subtitles translated it like that. Two - even if she liked Luca, that doesn't mean she's straight, especially since she broke up with him for good.
>Left Mari all alone after 6 months (which means she doesn't give a fuck about Mari anymore)
She keeps in touch with Mari, all of the post-timeskip art is of Lara being with Mari.

Not what the show says. Lara says she doesn't need true love, and her light is different from before based on what Lisa is saying.
>She keeps in touch with Mari, all of the post-timeskip art is of Lara being with Mari.
Again, not based on anything in the show. Stuff outside the show has no bearing on anything.

There's been a severe amount of headcanon trying to make the ending not a complete dumpster fire.

It's to bludgeon the viewer over the head with the fact that Mari's love is selfless and the inheritance she has from her family in contrast with symbols like the royal rings which are associated with conditional love (until the end where we finally get a reconciliation with Lisa and the return of the ring that establishes the sisters as family again even if there remains distance between them)

Checking out Mari's room after the time skip, and at least she still has HAL with her. Looks like Lara also replaces the hot cocoa can with an actual vase, probably symbolizing her growth from a naive mermaid to a human. She finally got her own clothes and her own backpack to take this time. And probably moved on from the tanuki statue.

It's almost like Mari is being punished for not realizing she fell in love with Lara sooner. By the time things were getting good, the autist came in and ruined her groove. Then she just gets one gut punch after another, ultimately getting hit with the chair when Lara rejects her at the train station. Now the only things she has left are her boxing and her family, which is pretty good, but she lost so much for nothing.

That's why there's the exchange where Mari says she's going to fuck up and Lara agrees without reservation. The fairy tale ending would be that the magical realism catharsis incident removes her trauma and she can live however she wants, rejecting that is the crux of the last scene and why it doesn't try to coddle the audience with anything more hopeful than Lara and Mari facing each other smiling as the distance grows (a direct connection with Mari's march to get closer to Lara earlier in the episode)

Maybe would have been nice to include some of this trauma when living with Mari instead of showing it be all happy with no issue until the plot kicks in. The trauma comes up mostly with Luca and by all indications a true love with Mari seems like it would have fixed everything. Not to mention Grace's flashback, where she sees Lara refuse to stab the prince initially and makes a big deal about Lara being different, but then the series actually has her stab Mari only to magic the consequences away like you're saying shouldn't happen. That kind of stuff I believe would largely be forgiven if the rest of the ending didn't piss people off. Alas.

Congrats on not reading my post I guess. I explained exactly why your interpretation makes no sense. It does not follow from the rest of the show. You can't just say "LARA HAS TRAUMA" right after showing her being happy and shit with Mari the entire show. Unfortunately the people writing and directing this show think that just because you say something in it that means the viewers will believe it. You need to have it actually make sense.

I feel like this thread is the objectively correct view of the ending
https://x.com/nara_1225/status/2102449055700078962
>In episode 11, Grace says, “Live not for the rules, but for love,” distinguishing between the “rules” that have bound Lara for so long and “love.” When she says “We are born twice,” I think she presents “love” as the second birth—as the stage of “living,” as one of the paths (or perhaps the collective idea of the paths) that we choose for ourselves and walk down. But Mari, who is lonely and unable to understand the weight of the mermaids’ rules, says that she was “born to love someone” (perhaps, on a meta level, because she is Maria), conflating “loving someone” with “existing” and “destiny.” That is why Lara rejects those words, and why Mari is pierced by the blade. Lara has spent all this time suffering because she was bound by the “rule of loving”—the destiny/curse of being an “existence” destined to love.
>But Lara only rejected that one, misunderstood statement from Mari. She herself still loves Mari; she never truly wanted to hurt her. That is why she goes so far as to retrieve Mari’s soul even at the cost of tearing herself apart. I think that self-sacrifice and obsession are undeniably forms of love too. However, before that, Lara needed to be freed from the curse that “I exist solely to find true love.” As long as that curse remained—as long as her very existence depended on “love”—Lara’s blade would continue seeking the souls of those she loved.
>>
>>291150293
Nips are tearing apart the ending in 5ch. It's just that they can't say what they really think using their names. And there are many western yuricucks defending the ending too
>>
>>291150395
>I think what finally broke that curse was her defiant “Don’t make a fool of me,” followed by her choosing to leave the Otsu family and become independent. I don’t know what kind of life Lara will choose after that, but precisely because she might want to choose the path of living with Mari (loving her), as she confessed at the lake, I think Lara needs time to transform from the “mermaid” who “seeks only love” and “tries to devour the souls of those she loves,” and instead learn to live firmly rooted in the human world.
>Only after Lara gains a soul of her own—an existence and sense of self that isn’t dependent on loving someone—will her blade finally stop attacking Mari. That’s why I still think she’ll eventually keep her promise to make Champion that cake. And I think the desire to “live together with you” is unquestionably love, whether that love is romantic or sexual or something else entirely.
>I don't think the ending of Sayonara, Lara is actually denying the possibility of a romantic relationship. Rather, I think it’s saying something like:
>“There are things you need to do first—you need to establish yourself as an individual.”
>“If you try to love someone without first becoming independent, you can end up simply becoming dependent on them and hurting them, so that’s dangerous.”
>“And, fundamentally, true love shouldn’t be something that someone forces upon you or exploits you for.”
>That’s how I interpret the ending of Sayonara, Lara.

No, not really the anime had beautiful animation and a nice score
Not much is going to help the anime ends where the story feels it should've been several episodes earlier
The manga probably won't progress the story enough and just meander just waxing pseudo philosophy on love, and talking about the light
The fish dagger in the sky was the biggest hook for intrigue involving Mermaid magic now that it's gone it feels like the story lost some thing
It would be like Kamen Rider with no villains for the second half
Unless they bring back Grace or something the magic from the series is gone both a literal and figurative sense as now it's just about a girl who used to be mermaid with no magic curse hanging over her
Which makes it feel like any other fish out of water story about a girl in Japan

>>291150458
Luca is a bridge between Lara and Mari. He was the false path Lara the Mermaid was walking, the path that ultimately would've led to the same tragedy as the one Lara and Grace both experienced.
This explains the issue of mermaids really well, in fact. Mermaids are ultimately incompatible with humans because mermaids only exist for love, literally feeding on it. Not being able to find love extinguishes them, and when they find it, they consume it. This is why they're portrayed in such unfavorable light to Lara. She doesn't want to consume Mari, she wants to exist alongside Mari as her own person.

Mari doesn't deserve to suffer until Lara finds herself. You're telling her to be like Anthy, getting stabbed with a million swords, and just accepting that abuse with a smile. Lara can go on her sabbatical, while Mari heals and moves on from her.

You're pulling these six months out of your ass. They dated "on and off", meaning Lara was just going out with him once in a blue moon, and ultimately, she separated from him. Luca was not her prince, no matter how much she wished for it. That's why she sheds a tear when she leaves him for good - that's her last goodbye to the childhood dream she had. Mari was the one for her, she wants to become her own person for Mari's sake, so they could "live together", and she could bake a cake for Mari.

Lara told Mari she wanted to live together and then she moved away from Mari to live with herself

Yes, it is. Anyone who says otherwise is a shitposter.

Yeah, I know you're a spamming shitposter. That's why I don't respect you at all and I'm not going to pretend it isn't obvious every time you post again and again. You aren't expressing genuine opinions, you only come here to shitpost. You're going to keep doing this forever because you're mentally ill, hundreds of shitposts a day, until you kill yourself and I finally get to see what percentage of total posts your derangement generates.

This is a pretty good take, however
>Only after Lara gains a sould of her own
I disagree with this. I believe Lara and Mari are sharing a soul now. There was a line in the original little mermaid story about how the only way she can live is by taking a human soul. While that would normally kill them, if they both love each other fully, they can share the soul instead. This is why I believe Lara was able to fully turn human and why Mari was able to be revived. They are now literally soulmates.

That's wrong because Lara tells Mari she wants to stay with her, and reaffirms it at the train station. She just can't stay for now because >>291150410 . But it's clear as day that they're supposed to reunite one day.
There's still an error in this ending, but it's not in how Mari leaves, or what she says. It's simply in the fact that her reassurance comes off as a bit vague and bittersweet, making the audience feel like she's not coming back. But that's clearly not the intention here, as we see in pics like this. If this anime gets any sort of extended material, this would be the thing to show us properly.

Why are you still here? Yurifags like this anime just fine, despite the questionable ending, which they discuss. Then you come in, hating both yurifags and this anime, and proceed to shitpost day in and day out. Why?
>>
>>291151192
Yurifags/tards/troons/trannies don't actually exist it's just a hallucination conjured by a few shitposters (whose shitposting style including using yuriXs as a boogeyman has moved to twitter as can be expected from how often they post screencaps of twitter here) as an excuse to rant performatively in a neverending crusade against an enemy that's just an excuse to make hundreds of shitposts per day both on /a/ and on twitter. Wouldn't be surprised if they do it on reddit too but someone posted a link to a twitter account that posts the exact same way so that's the only one we can be sure about until someone goes digging for where else they repost the same shitposts.

>>291151177
I have a higher expectation for things and am not willing to write someone's anime for them like you are. The anime completely shits on Mari in the end and indicates that Lara is the only character you should care about. That Mari's feelings do not matter and that Lara's desire to leave for whatever reason she's doing so is more important. Maybe she'll come back at some point (temporarily) but Mari is secondary to her. Despite superficial words to the contrary. Just like the rest of the ending, the writer wants you to take what characters say over what they do.
>>
>>291151375
>everyone shitting on the ending
No, I saw a few people spamming, that's why it's so easy to spot the same people spamming again today. You spam hundreds of shitposts per day and then have to pretend it's surprising you get called out. There's no point even pretending to engage with you faggots in good faith.
>>
>>291151438
You weren't even there, faggot. No one was even attempting to defend it. It was quite possibly the most negative reception to an ending on /a/ since Franxx.
>>
>>291150923

You say that yet it's very obvious you're the only one pushing the "anyone who didn't like the ending is a shitposter from /pol/" narrative.

>>291151392
She also left Mari's cucked ass and didn't even respond to her questions
>>
>>291151470
Well no I mean I was here last week when you already started forcing this shit by spamming based on leaks, picking up where you'd left off spamming from the previous airing. None of this is hidden, it's always been blatant wherever you shitposters operate, because you spam the same things hundreds of times per day and samefag with proxies to agree with yourselves.
>>

Where the fuck are the deleted posts, let alone the bans? Are you okay? Is your psychosis getting worse? So you think after episode 11, everyone just stop posted and got replaced by a few shitposters spamming nonstop 24/7 for multiple days matching the insane amount of thread activity previously?

sorry anons, it's clear that Lara doesn't care about Mari that much. she even wasted all her tears for Luca
>>
>>291151385
And you still didn't answer the question.
>>
>>291151599
All sorts of /pol/tard nonsense has gotten deleted over the course of the airing threads lol
It's not like this is the first or only show you do this for either, part of what I mean by it being obvious is that you do this over and over all over the board for all sorts of shows so it's really blatant. Again, I'm not going to pretend that you shitposters are actually anonymous because you make so many hundreds of posts per day that you're easily recognizable.
>>
soo... who won?
>>
>>291151638
The production team and the fans of anime, the amount of tourist whining and attempt to force a narrative about it being a disaster tells you how good it actually was

>>
>>291151678
Well yeah, it's impossible to make the truth more true.
Another way it's easy to tell that this is being forced by tourists is that it's the same disaster narrative being forced on twitter, presumably all across social media by the same organized shitposters who all use the same buzzwords like yurifag. If you went on /v/ or /pol/ and made a Lara thread they'd say the same exact things as the shitposters here, and you might even see one or two of the recognizable shitposters with specific buzzwords show.

It's sort of how like how lately there have been a consistent rate of misposts that were meant to be threads on /v/ that confirm the shitposters here are tourists who just expand the same shit they do on /v/ and /pol/ to /a/.

Again, I'm not going to pretend any of you are actually anonymous since you only come here to spam hundreds of shitposts per day while hating anime.

bro you literally need to get checked, youre not right in the head

>>291151781
I'm exactly right, that's why it provokes such a frantic response from the mentally ill losers who spam hundreds of shitposts on /a/ every day. Again, it's not like you even try to hide your /pol/ lingo so it's pointless to do this gaslighting now.

There's too little activity on the board for you not to stand out when you spam hundreds of the same posts per day and spread your shitposting to whatever series happens to be trending on twitter
>>
>>291151628
>So you think after episode 11, everyone just stopped posting and got replaced by a few shitposters spamming nonstop 24/7 for multiple days matching the insane amount of thread activity previously?
You still haven't answered this. There were 4000+ posts on day 1 with 16 deleted posts. You vaguely referring to posts getting deleted doesn't mean anything. Be specific about where in those 16 deleted posts you see evidence of ban evasion responsible for the 4000+ other posts.

I'm not jumping through hoops for a ban evading shitposter whose mental illness compels him to spam hundreds of posts trying to force your narrative about a show. This isn't an argument, there is no audience to perform for.

Wait, so you think that not only are a few shitposters responsible for all the posts on /a/ and presumably /u/, but also all the negative posts across all social media?
>>
>>291151854
you're responding to a bot
>>
>>291151835
Oh, so you can't answer the question.
>>
>>291151848
Yes because a ban evading shitposter who uses proxies to pretend to be multiple people and agree with himself whose only interest in yuri is as a porn addict seeking material to consume is an authority on what is and isn't yuriful

>>291151854
Yes, that's how it is with everything. Negative responses are always vocal minorities of haters pretending to be outraged fans to engage in endless shitposting. It's the entire "/v/ hates video games" cancer that's metastasized, thus why all the disaster narrative forcing with hundreds of posts is right out of the /v/ playbook in regard to the release of video games that trigger tourist snowflakes for being woke.

Do you think any of this shit isn't obvious to someone who has been here since 2005?

>>291151884
I don't have to, you're not a real person. You're a shitposter who will be here tomorrow making hundreds of the exact same posts as you made today because you have mental illness driven agendas to push. This entire game of creating random goals to fulfill to justify whatever was a particularly popular troll tactic on /pol/ where it's usually simplified to demands for denouncing the talmud or whatever other icon of bigotry is chosen for the performative purity spiral. It's a lame tactic I've encountered over and over because you're a brain dead husk brainwashed by the internet who behaves exactly the same as the other cattle.

Why does yuri specifically always attract these schizophrenics? What about it makes them so triggered?
>>
>>291151942
>I don't have to
Yet you still responded but without answering the question because even you're realizing how ridiculous it sounds.
>>
>>291151960
It's a dissonance reaction to the prevalent themes about mental health which they must reject in order to continue wallowing in the abyss where they spam hundreds of shitposts about yuri shows every day. It's sort of like a schizophrenic having a stare down with a bottle of pills and yelling abuse at it as part of a psychotic fit preventing them from reaching for the pills.
>>
>>291151961
No, again, there's no audience. It's just you and me. We're not having an argument, I don't have to jump through any hoop you pull out of your ass. You're just a trolling piece of shit whose suicide would be detectable by the drop off of hundreds of daily shitposts.

He's literally just ACK if he complained about /pol/ instead of being a /pol/tard himself. Just as lame.
>>
>>291152079
Every community has its own incel tourists who all pattern themselves off /v/ and /pol/ (or its iterations as that crowd has remigrated off 4chan to other social media following the edges of lax moderation) lol
Granted, a percentage of all of these "native" shitposts are indeed sock puppets created to be used as props by another to say "see look, a real Japanese person agrees with me" to pretend to lend authority to a shitpost. This is the root of the behaviior where you all post twitter screencaps on /a/ as if that doesn't immediately out you as tourists.
>>
That's why it's so obvious all the talk about "what the Japanese are saying about the ending" here is the same shitposters spamming the same fiction over and over. There's no subtlety to any of this since board activity is so low that you're the majority of posts.

No shit, how else am I supposed to take it when you are up to date on every twitter drama and cross posting between /a/ and twitter as you spam hundreds of shitposts per day? Again, when every show you choose to shitpost about suddenly has twitter screencaps posted in the threads while you regurgitate the same recycled trolling with the same buzzwords you always use, it becomes really obvious very quickly how much time you spend not only on /a/ but anywhere with an anime community you can trawl for shitposting material. Spending all your time on this kind of thing is why you're incapable of speaking without sounding like a /pol/tard bot set to shitpost for eternity.

Rebellion did something new and novel for its time, Revue Starlight movie didn't.
