Fish eats girl. Greatest love story ever told.Two episodes so far, share your h/u/mble opinion about the adaptation, manga or sensitive subjects.
Love the manga, thought the adaptation had a lot of potential but got worried when I saw the trailer. I don't think it's gonna be a Sasakoi but honestly this anime is very generic in terms of directing and overall visuals, which is way less than this manga deserves imo.Anyway I guess I'll just have to settle for an average adaptation. Sad because this is one of my favorite yuri manga but eh what's done is done. The team seems to have passion for the series but the lack of production value quite honestly made me sad. I know its still better than most seasonals I just don't like it that much.
>>4481744I WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH THIS ENDINGdoes anyone know who was in charge of the illustration for it? literally my favorite anime artstyle atm but i can't find any credits
I'm not into Yuri or Romance in general but the manga is incredibleDisappointed with the anime adaptation, clearly needs more of a budget and/or better staff or time. I do think the OP shows us a vision of what it could have been with more resources and I think that's great, shame it's only the OPI will say episode 2 had less badly composed shots and much better executed surrealist water scenes/effects then episode 1 at least, hopefully the trend continues>>4481751Is it better then most seasonals tho? Your average seasonal shonen looks pretty dang good most of the time
>>4481821Don't think its fair to compare action shonen to this but yeah I'm really disappointed. I'm not really hyped for any upcoming yuri adaptations other than maybe KimiShinu, pure romance even when well-written just bores me
I always found it odd how Hinako wears long sleeves even in the middle of summer. How much you wanna bet she cuts herself?
>>4481902She has scars on her arms because of the accident, that's why wears long sleeves.
>>4482026ah right the "accident"
>>4482026Will the audience ever see those?
>>4482091You can catch a glimpse of the scars in episode 1, when Hinako's getting out of bed. But it's a blink-and-you-miss-it moment.
>>4482106Ok I found that on Ch1 p4 of the manga too, on her upper right arm.I am just curious if the mangaka did some research or if its just an excuse to always draw her in sleeves and tights.
>>4481780Needs a wallpaper version.
>>4481780It looks close to the manga’s artstyle, so perhaps the mangaka drew the stills for the ending
>>4482108There's a more direct shot later in the manga too but I don't remember the exact chapter. I completely missed the early scars and only noticed when someone pointed it out to me.
>>4481821I'm honestly a little puzzled why they adapted this. I love the manga but it's a very slow-paced work with a lot of talking and I feel like it doesn't gain a lot from being animated.
Hinako, who currently wants to kill herself, is being pursued by two youkai who are presumably still immortal? And one is a mermaid. If you remember the Japanese conception of a mermaid, if you eat a bite of its liver you will gain eternal life. And as it is already a youkai, stabbing it and removing a piece of its liver won't kill it. So ryona? Maybe even self inflicted?When the manga ends will the suicidal girl end up choosing eternity with her youkai friends and abandon humanity?
>>4482919Good clanker.
>>4482911I think it really could have benefitted from it if they almost did it in a spiderverse way, where there's still speech bubbles and paneling and such that's depicted with the surrealist water effectsThink about the first sequence in the classroom where Hinako's depression is depicted as her being underwater with fish swimming by in the window, having the speech bubbles there become wavy was a thing in the manga that was still lost in translation a bit even if the speech become drowned out in the anime
>>4483978Inaccurate. The skirts are too short.
>>4483983Miko's a bad influence.
Yashiro Miko: Story of a monster.
The rest of the season better have that Miko-chan ED.
>>4486027She's a groomer, not a kidnapper.
>>4486029More like kid eater.
That tone shift at the end of the episode was awful and really took me out of it. How disappointing
Furry gf or scaly gf?
>>4486174Which one smells the best?
>>4486107you're just jealous because you don't have your own ED.Personally, I don't have any problem with that, it raises the difference between both girls.
Greatest love story ever told.
>>4488042Why are all yuriMonsters in this mango...fans of Itou Hachi?
>>4488048Yes.
>>4488042>>4488317FBI!...oh right, its allowed now...
>>4486174Miko was always the better option, but alas... Main heroine always wins.
>>4489334I swear she was not.
>>4489334I don't think she was ever in the race. I reread it recently and had a feeling the author never even seeing her as a potential love interest. All romantic interactions are strictly between Hinako and fish and Miko herself from the start held to a place of best friend.
Hang on. This could've been an oneeloli story this entire time?
>>4489827Miko actually cares about Hinako and has loved her since birth, even if not romantically right away. Her conflict between her nature, her guilt for being unable to protect the family and her earnest wish for Hinako to be happy is far more compelling than anything the stinky fish brings to a relationship. >>4489831I think you're intentionally ignoring a lot os subtle moments that show Miko likes Hinako way more than just a friend. But her role and the guilt make her mostly feel responsible for her as a caretaker more than a friend or a lover.
>>4489973What Hinako can gain with fish:>Immortality and cool powers>Fish can take any form she wants to fulfill her deep dark fantasies>Bodyguard girlfriendFox offers:>Toxoplasmosis>Will see her mother's face if they kiss>Tanuki watching
Yeah, but Shiori's pussy has gotta reek, plus she probably clogs the toilet once a month when she releases a clutch of eggs.>Shiori, is that salmon roe?>Y-Yeah...
>>4490098This is a biased post. Both of them would make an effective bodyguard.Also, has Shiori ever shapeshifted into someone completely different? If she has, are we to assume Miko cannot do the same?
>>4490098I love dumb ":D" Shiori faces. Imagine her giving that face when she realizes she has an out for eating Hinako.
>>4490248You mean eating Hinako out?
>>4490105>Shiori's pussy has gotta reek
>>4490266Yes.
Bad fox.
Wait whatWhen did this air Any big changes from the manga
>>4490586Pretty big changes, the drawings move around and talk now.
>>4490586Shiori's species was changed from a tuna to a viperfish.
>>4490586Filler arc about Miko and her first human wife and kid.
>>4490640The kid was an orphan they adopted, just in case anyone thinks any weird shenanigans were going on.
>>4490586Not really, the only notable changes are that they sometimes work in the bonus chapters into the actual events of the chapters, though other times they're just included as a bonus scene at the end of episodesThe adaption itself is kinda eh, though, pretty plain direction/storyboarding and very budget animation.The effects and compositing are fine, but not as good as the series deserves given all the cool shots the manga does with surrealist water imagerya lot of those moments don't hit as hard as they do in the manga.The OP is great though and is what the show should have looked like.
Episode 7 should take us about half way to 2/3 through volume 5.
It looks like the author is treating Miko as if she is a one of a kind creature. Its interesting as in Japanese mythology kitsune can appear as lone entities, especially in some of the oldest strata of folk tales, but are more frequently associated with the goddess Inari.If they went with the more modern, Inari centered folk tales, Miko would eventually have to run into another kitsune and the kitsune network would want to know what the hell she was doing eating her own tails and stuff. And if they then find the mermaid on land through her, there is all sorts of potential problems there. Not just a terf war between the two kinds of mazoku, but the value the unique properties of mermaid flesh would have in the modern world if the public found out would be something Inari herself couldn't ignore.But it seems they are going with Shiori and Miko being one of a kinds without any larger populations still existing. A reverse thought, it would be strange wouldn't it if Shiori and Miko were each one of the last of their kind and yet they are trying to bed a human instead of finding a mate? How ironic would that be?
>>4492214>dead mom hair
>>4492707Although Inari's influence runs throughout Japan, modern kitsune tend to be associated with Kyoto, and WataTabe is set in Shikoku, so there's a level of separation there.
>>4492214No wonder Hinako got injured so often, her mom was apparently blind.
>>4489334The way I see it is that Miko is the annoying mother in law
Sneak peak at magazine cover
Hinako was purpose made for being showered with love and orgasms.
>>4495061Fish woman...
Does Miko have a bunch of nipples like a fox?
>>4495182If Hinako wants her to.
>>4495182In fox form, yes. In human form, yes.
>>4495326Proof?
Someone asked me to repost spoilers here that I posted for the novel over on /a/ yesterday so here it is.Chapter 1: Dealing with a bell youkai that puts humans to sleep forever and drains their life. Hinako gets put to sleep, Miko knows the solution is to go into the human's dream and wake them up, so both Miko and Shiori go in there. Miko gets distracted with a dream ver of Hinako's family, and Shiori meets a happy version of teenage Hinako who acts how she would if the accident never happened (picrel). They have fun together all day and Shiori has a hard time making the choice to wake her up and starts thinking maybe it's better for them to stay in the happy dream. Miko shows up to call her an idiot and reminds her Hinako would actually die in that case and so they wake her up. Hinako doesn't remember the dream. Chapter 2 is a sleepover. They all watch horror movies. Shiori likes shark movies. A youkai tries to break in during the night. Hinako almost opens the door to let it eat her but then locks it, Miko and Shiori kill it. Hinako thinks about how she actually does want to be eaten by Shiori and not a random youkai. Chapter 3 Hinako has some recollection of Miko being with her in childhood pre-accident. Flashback to Miko helping and playing with child Hinako but erasing her memories afterward. She feels a deeper bond with Miko after realizing Miko was there with her even if she forget and Shiori notices them acting extra close.
>>4495815Chapter 4 is a more detailed account of Miko getting sealed by the monk, living with him until his death, getting closer to humans, meeting Inugami Gyoubu, learning about the bell youkai from chapter 1 etc. Chapter 5 Has Shiori being kind of down because she noticed Hinako and Miko being closer than usual and gets jealous, and also she keeps thinking about the happy dream version of Hinako and comparing real Hinako to her and it makes her feel guilty. Miko invites Shiori to go to the movies with her and Hinako but it doesn't really help and then afterward Miko confronts Shiori about acting weird and pisses her off by guessing that maybe she likes dream Hinako more and feels guilty about it. She helps Shiori process her guilty feelings which she didn't understand on her own and then they save Hinako yet again from another youkai and there's a short but really nice manga sequence with picrel.
>>4495816Last post, just mentioning a funny scene from chapter 1 Shiori is so into how cute happy Hinako is that she tries to get Hinako to beg her for something and asks her to call her osakana-san (Miss Fish) while she begs. Hinako is confused as fuck because she doesn't know Shiori is a mermaid in the dream but she does it for her anyway with a little <3.
>>4495815What novel?
>>4495816Shiori has the best "lol" face.
>>4495826https://www.kadokawa.co.jp/product/322505000416/ It just recently came out.
They didn't show the full gore of Shiori ripped apart Ayame like in the manga.Boo
>>4495815>>4495816Thanks, anon. Shiori just wants her loli back.
Consider that Azami may have a right to be angry.
>>4496354Nah. She just can't grasp that Fish is indeed retarded.
>>4496415Love makes retards out of all of us.
>>4496567Cute wives
>>4496571Forgot pic
>>4496567Where can I be served yuri along with pastry and tea? Where were you at?
So Azami and Erika are a couple, right?
>>4496649If they aren't, they will be.
>>4495061this post smells fishy
>>4496647I was about to link the yuri cafe but the site redirects somewhere else, did they close?https://yuricafe.tokyo/
>>4496663>Patrickthumbsdownboo.jpeg
Fox x Fish deito next week.
It's not too late for Ayame to get a wifeOr gf
>>4497174She needs to breastfeed a starving loli to repent for her sins.
>>4495816what the hell is dream Hinako and why is Shiori feeling guilty about a fake not real dream version of the girl she likes? unless it means Shiori feels guilty about liking a more idealized version of Hinako more maybe?
>>4497219Not like that you pedolesbo, I'm talking about Ayame trying to romance Hinako
>>4497339>Shiori feels guilty about liking a more idealized version of Hinako moreIt's that.
>>4497341She's too late to the party; she needed to start 10 years ago.
>>4497341Ayame is old fashioned.
>>4497341>>4497174How about her aunt?
>>4497648Hinako’s real aunt? Sounds nice. She could be a better stepmother to Hinako too(no momcest obviously)
>>4497641Imagine the things she can do with that tongue.
>>4497850she could eat ice cream really fast
New chapter where?>Newest manga is out.>Remember that handkerchief in the OP?Some yokais had that brought Shiori's attention to Hinako again? It was from Azami's first encounter with Hinako.Why is Azami trying to call Shiori out of hiding now after all these years?
>>4497946Presumably to kill her like the other times. She spent just as long recovering from her kamikaze attack and it doesn't seem like Azami has any way to hone in on Fish otherwise.
>>4497957She really is crazy if she thinks killing the fishie will free her. Most of the myths about eating Ningyo meat have the Ningyo already dead before the meat was eaten. Even where a Ningyo feeds itself to a person, there is no story that killing the Ningyo later ends the curse. This is excluding the versions where the Ningyo are immortal themselves
>>4497960Has she explicitly stated that she wants to kill fish because she thinks it'll undo her immortality? I thought she just wants to kill fish as revenge for granting her immortality.
>>4497990But what is she going to do with her life if there is no fishie to hunt anymore?Or is that part of the larger plot like Hinkao gaining the desire to live and such?
I think Azami is like a lesbian Captain Ahad. Fish having a new toy she actually loves just adding to her eternal butthurt.
Cute hitodenashi being supportive to her wife. >>4498017I think that's also part of the reason she tried to fuck with Miko through Tsubaki. The idea that a yokai and a human could actually form any sort of bond must really piss her off.
>>4498023>The idea that a yokai and a human could actually form any sort of bond must really piss her off.Sounds like a her problem. She has had how many years to fix this? Instead of finding another immortal to live with- or hunting fishie to chop off enough to make one- she just goes on a destructive 'im a victim' spree over years? Dragging in other innocent youkai and ningen?
>>4498060Makes you wonder about that girl with her.
>>4498017Honestly, rather than romantic interest, I'm thinking she'll turn out to love Shiori as a mother. She's just applying the same "if I can't be special to you because you return my love, I'll be special to you by being the one to kill you instead!" yandere logic to that.
>>4498336The first thing that went through my mind was "why not both?". Dammit, /u/, it's your fault.
>>4498336Yeah I'm honestly anticipating the same thing. I wonder if they can mend things and have some kind of positive relationship by the end of Azami's arc or if she'll just get over it and fuck off with Erika.
>>4498358>positive relationship by the end of Azami's arc I hope she'll continue to be Hinako's aunt in Ooshima
What is the significance of Ooshima anyways?
Just can't trust those Japanese mermaids to keep their promises.
>Hinako's pussy when she found out the yokai hottie wasn't going to disembowel herWhy is fish's wife like this?
The company our girl keeps
Maybe all gods were yokai at some

Surprised it took this long to see a period joke for this series,
>>4500273Why would you want period jokes?
>>4500464To go against the flow.
>>4500469Isn't that going with the flow?
>It's you! You're the Red Fox! You're wanted for... for molesting all kinds of girls!>You're wanted clothed or naked! I'm choosing naked!
>>4500469>>4500531You're all sounds like my aunt
>>4500594Your aunt is a sound?
>>4500608Are 45?
>>4500464>Why would you want period jokesThey said, >Surprised it took this long to see a period joke for this seriesNowhere in their post does it say they WANTED period jokes, it sounds more like they were assuming to expect period jokes made sooner.
>>4500695NTA but I want them. The fish being clueless about it is funny.
>>4500695Alright,I will rephrase itWhy would you even expect menstruation jokes?
>>4500711Also NTA, but Hinako being surrounded by youkai who may not fully understand human biology creates opportunities for funny misunderstandings, including period jokes.
>>4500750It's kinda gross though
>>4500711>why would you expect menstruation jokes from a series where blood is a major plot point
>We'll be together forever!
>>4500937In a just world, Azami's lovers' suicide would have been successful.
>>4500711>why would expect to see menstrual jokesBecause this is the internet?Because ppl will choose to be gross if there is zero chance of backlash? This isn't your first day I assume.
>>4500767I have a feeling that you laughing and mocking me irl>>4500957Or maybe some anons just love it, sure it sounds a kind of joke your boomer aunts will make
>>4501061You sound like a massive autist who doesn't understand how the human mind works.

CANON.
>>4501169Delinquent proto-Miko and bitch gyaru Tsubaki is my jam
Anime-only here. This show is so good. Best episode 10 angsty yuri backstory reveal since Madoka.
>>4501184If you like the anime I'd definitely recommend the manga. The unofficial translation is a bit wonky at times, but the art is gorgeous.
