I watched Cosmic Princess Kaguya the other day and I wasn't sure if it was just shitposting or not but there really is a lot of things you can compare between it and Lara. It's funny these two came out the same year. Someone should make a "Cosmic Princess Kaguya is Sayonara Lara done right" image. Maybe I will at some point.

I thought about making a comparison image myself as I noticed a lot of the similarities but after Lara's finale I'd rather not think about it anymore and I deleted the episodes anyway. Some of said stuff, aside from the obvious basic setup of "fairytale princess meets contemporary Japanese high school girl":
>the way Kaguya looks at Iroha when the latter is brushing her teeth / the way Lara looks at Mari when the latter offers her the chocolate can
>Kaguya going to live with Iroha, draining her bank account and later repaying her / same with Lara and Mari
>going grocery shopping together (a funny detail is a sign saying "fresh meat" in Kaguya and "fresh fish" in Lara)
>Iroha/Mari wasting away motionless in their room after Kaguya/Lara leaves
>Iroha and Mari make similar faces when Iroha is getting pulled into Yachiyo's memories/Mari has the air bubble around her head and is about to witness Grace's memories
Thank fucking god for Kaguya, it feels purposely designed to be (re)watched to wash away this garbage.

>>291235705
It's the perfect foil. Kaguya's big theme is about chasing for the happy ending. Lara's biggest failure is wanting a contrived bad ending that makes no fucking sense.
>>
>>291235705
There is a reason Kaguya is one of the most successful movies of the year and the most successful anime original of the decade while Lara will fade into obscurity only to be brought up in discussions about originals that went horribly wrong.

I saw Kinema Citrus in the credits of the movie too (along with a bunch of other studios), which is even funnier.

It was a very lukewarm ending, but I don't hate that Lara's true love was more abstract than just a person
It isn't hard to see why people thought a yuri ending could happen and feel betrayed it didn't, though I never felt that sort of bond between Lara and Mari

Yeah, because it tries it hardest to appeal to zoomers: vtubers, idols, gaming, every character has to make funny faces™ every 2 seconds to prevent their audience from losing focus.
>>
>>291237102
It needed 16 episodes to really flesh every idea they thought of out. Considerimg the light keptbrunning out even during the grandfather's time, the light princess providing light to all sounds more like a curse or evolutionary defect. Maybe thats why they arre one of the last pods left.

The real love was Nikolai who died centuries ago. The way he looks up at the moon in merch, he realised his mistake too late. If only but it was unfortunate she had no tongue to tell the truth from the beginning. She has enough daddy issues to keep trying with his descendent with some other woman and she keeps breaking it off. Enough yume fuel.

It's yuri, but there's zero intimacy, and the ending brings nothing but frustration instead of fulfillment. (They promised to live together in the future, I guess. Truly underwhelming after 11 episodes of baiting).

Yeah that's right everyone agrees Koide fucked up and the ending is bad because that's what we all agree together (even though we started spamming about how bad it was going to be before it ended, we just all knew anyway). Everyone unanimously decided the last 10 seconds are the stinkiest poopiest ending ever.

Kaguya is more of the "the girls say they love each other and other blatant yuri stuff but still ends as non-committal". Hell of a lot better than Sayonara Lara that shows active contempt for its audience, but still part of the problem.

The two songs that play over the credits are blatant love songs too.

Koide makes anime, you spend all day every day shitposting on /a/ and twitter because you're a tourist who hates anime. That's why you instantly came back to make another shitpost when the site went online. Literally the first post after the downtime is you spamming the same thing yet again.

The meltdown over this and the ensuing vitriol towards the director reminds me of Chainsaw Man anime.

Every time someone tries something different or dares to put the audience out of their comfort zone even a little, you "people" lose your minds. No wonder anime sucks today.
>>
>>291241326
It's not different. The ending is a cliche that I've seen a million times. It's just usually better handled and not completely at odds with the rest of the show.

All the post anime official stuff will go full yuri like Kaguya and the anti yuri schizo is going to keep seething and crying it's not canon or whatever.

>>291237102
She still loved her and it's 100% confirmed, she has to lie to herself about loving the world Mari lives in so blade won't kill Mari.
>>
>>291241393
Well that is true. If you want to do something do it in the anime. Why do you consider stuff outside of the main work more authoritative than the main work?
>>291241448
Why do you think the blade still exists? Rowan said that once the blade gets what it wants (Mari's soul in this case) it will turn back into normal light. It got Mari's soul (even if Lara took it back in some desu ex machina) and Lara is also not a mermaid anymore. There's no reason to believe the blade is still an issue.

Or cut down to a movie where audiences are more receptive to ambiguities

Fena Pirate Princess's problem was that it was a 00s anime airing in the 20s. Back in the 00s, it'd get 26 episodes and female weebs were almost half of the international audience. Meanwhile in the modern industry everything get one cour only and the vast majority of international viewers are men

It's exactly the same in the sense that its a vocal minority of shitposting tourists forcing a narrative about the ending and outrage over the staff where no one else actually cares.

Chainsawman's direction was overly drab and "cinematic" and din't do justice to the manga. Lara has fantastic direction. It just has a weirdly open ending.

Not "doing justice" to a steaming pile of shit is a kind of justice in its own way, you feel me

I'm saying the ending of Lara is not different or unique. It's an overdone cliche, just done in the worst way possible by someone who doesn't bother making it make any sense.

It's based on the manga.

"Not wanting to make anime" is also something the CSM adaptation and Sayonara Lara share. It's strange though that it worked for Sayonara Lara all the way through until the last few minutes.

Apparently the ending was planned from the beginning, and the show ended up developing in a different direction from the director's original vision but the ending was kept the same.

Mari was just a tool to free Lara from being a mermaid and allow her to be free to roam the human world.
