https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUa2V044BK4This is an animated short film called the lovers. It was funded on kickstarter in mid 2023 and came out today. Its about a mermaid and a sushi chef who fall in love.I had heard of it several years ago because the maker of a webcomic i like did guest art for it . I coincidentally checked on the flick yesterday and found out it was releasing today.

There's gonna be an english dub at somepoint. And they say they're gonna make an alternate ending version as well, so I wonder how that would go: https://studioheartbreak.com/pages/the-lovers
>>155236379Neat
i thought this was gonna be more psychological but i guess you have only so much time for that with 15 minutes. maybe it'll be turned into a movie.
>>155236379>It's not in English What the fuck? The original trailer was in English. Don't know why they would delay the dub release. That aside, visually this was very well executed. Story wise, it's okay. Most tuned in because of lesbian obsession and nothing more. Would have loved a more cynical twist that the siren never loved the girl and used her vulnerable situation to seduce her into getting back to the ocean. Kudos for not shying away from the nudity but YouTube is likely going to pull some fuckery because of it
>>155237606>Would have loved a more cynical twist that the siren never loved the girl and used her vulnerable situation to seduce her into getting back to the ocean.ngl all these years i thought that this was where it was headed. i am surprised that it's implied that sara and the siren don't enter a relationship though.
>>155237606>>155237765I think it does a kinda brief bait and switch near the end when the siren pulls the girl while shes in the water and we see a flash of her opening her mouth and lunging. it made me wonder for a second if she was going to eat the mc
>>155237606>Kudos for not shying away from the nudity but YouTube is likely going to pull some fuckery because of itit was already age restricted before you posted this comment
>>155236379Why is doomed Yuri so much more interesting and common than Yaoi which is just fucking gay

>>155236379The backgrounds are great
>>155238466>Age restricted This just killed their momentum, fuck I would be pissed if that was my project I slaved 3 years over.
>>155240032They knew what they were doing? Boobs on youtube getting age-restricted isn't a new or surprising thing.
>>155236379Flipanon here, if you are in Binondo (i doubt you niggas will but oh well) i recommend eating at Delicious Restaurant. It's very good chow. And yeah, i can see people eating mermaids there, last time i was there i checked out these shops right next to the river that was selling fried frog legs. Didn't go though because i thought eating next to the pasig river was kinda gross.
15 minutes thats it
>>155240211The trailers had mermaid boobs but there was no restriction on it. It's genuinely unfortunate that YouTube is killing the reach on this
I wanna buy the Keychain plushie but it's a shitty gacha blind box and it's only 50/50 if I get the pretty Mermaid or random College student
>>155236379I only know the makers of this where glazing their show in every QRT at Xwitter when Disney when back to their "no gays allowed" era
>>155241240>>155240211>>155240032i get it in this case, but youtube age restricts shit for no reason sometimes. they'll age restrict music if it has fuck in the title of the song.
>>155238732Yaoi is almost exclusively written by perpetually online female shippers and tends to treat the characters less like human beings and more like dolls.Yuri is written by a mix of types of authors, some male, some female, and is more likely (though not guaranteed) to treat the characters like actual people who have personalities and motivations and goals that go beyond>tee hee de pretti boisu go kissi kissi sakki fakki
>>155242193Age restriction can happen in 2 ways. A video marked for kids vs a video only viewable by adults. Both are a death sentence for a video in the algo but the latter is worse. Not even 200k views after 16 hours? This was one of the more anticipated indie projects of the year.
>>155238732Because Yaoi is just fucking gay. It's kind of self-explanatory.
>>155236379So this is pretty much the Filipino version of This Monster Wants to Eat Me? Sounds cool, will watch later.
