Lack of awareness, lack of marketing. Most people still don't even seem to know it exists. It is a very /a/ based mentality to just try out every single new show in a season or at least to start from the assumption you will consider watching absolutely everything and then eliminate the stuff that is shit. A lot of people will just watch what they hear others talking about and besides on /a/ hardly anywhere is talking about Flip Flappers as much.

Phantom World was more entertaining to be quite honest.

>>149399419
Because it's an obscure original with little to no marketing, and appeal which doesn't summarize nicely into a synopsis, ad blurb or word-of-mouth summary.


Plus it's a colourful coming of age fantasy full of childish whimsy that isn't made by Ghibli. Those always get summarily ignored

>>149399350
As much as I enjoyed Phantom World (and still enjoy Mai doujin) the show wasn't quite on par with Flip Flappers, and the last episode was pretty lame given the conclusion. If they followed up episode 11 better, it would have been a great show. As it is, it can't touch floppy flippings.

>>149399560
You can see the lack of awareness and marketing in Japan just looking at the number of twitter followers. One of the absolute lowest this season of any full length TV anime, including all other originals. Either the advertisements just didn't catch peoples attention and make it look interesting, didn't exist in great enough numbers to reach enough people or people just plain aren't aware of it.

>>149399713
The real difference is Phantom World is LN garbage made to sell shit to otaku where as Flip Flappers is an artistic expression of love from animators who are passionate about the project and that difference shows up in the show quite obviously.

>>149399682
Idiiots who take it too far are the reason people can't discuss symbolism in anime without getting called idiots who look for something when nothing's there.

>>149399765

Why would you expect them too? Making a show to sell to otaku doesn't guarantee it will.

>>149399818
It is, the whole texture of the show feels so typical anime. I'm not saying that is inherently bad it just is.

>>149399832

I think you're confused. It's still harem, but that never other stuff never happens.

Tell that to KyoAni, or the rest of these LN shitters. I too would prefer if their ability to recognize bullshit would lead them to not do it instead of making a funny about it.

That isn't what I said at all though. I said being typically anime isn't inherently bad but that Phantom World is certainly typical LN adaptation garbage. I use garbage in the lightest sense here, like calling something popcorn entertainment, its worthless artistically.

>>149399818
It still didn’t have anything remotely interesting to say. The best part of that show was the tit limbo in episode one, had it stayed on that route it might have been at least keijo levels of enjoyable. Instead it was just terribly boring and the occasional episode by someone like Yamada wasn’t enough to elevate that.

>>149400023

>>149400009
It most certainly isn't. It doesn't even have a consistent genre. The only consistent things are the characters and their personalities get altered every week by their environment.

Not to the degree Phantom World is, and it also doesn't go around doing "hey i'm so super clever and self aware, but let's just grab boobs anyway" like >>149400037

>>149399600
All the strange things there are for its quirky and oddball casts. It quickly became boring once it reached halfway. It doesn't even have an overarching plot like FliFla, nor ultimate goals like liberating pure illusion or whatever Asclepius' endgame is. Or, at least they didn't tell it in the first few episodes, because I didn't finish Phantom World. Dropped it at episode 10. I only watched it for Ruru and Coitus and then for some reason lost interest at it.

But of course, all the things I said wouldn't matter to you, since you would still insist it's similar to Phantom World. Why not Madoka? They also collected shiny things from bizarre parallel worlds, right?

It happens constantly in the first episode, which is more instances than would be acceptable in 12 episodes. Which means I didn't watch more of it and you are also wrong when you say it never does it.

>>149400146
It really isn't true in the slightest but I understand that it is easier for you mentally to dismiss legitimate criticism if you can come up with a reason to ignore it relating to the persons character rather than what they are saying.

I watch anime because I enjoy anime, hence why I already said being typically anime isn't a bad thing inherently in my first post. There is just obvious difference between something that is typical LN adaptation garbage and artistically barren and something made with genuine artistic intent and passion. Even otaku targeted material can be made with artistic intent and passion, just look at something like TTGL.

>>149400260
I felt the same way. All the pieces were there but they just didn't come together. In the end it felt like I had watched an animator training exercise rather than something that had been made to entertain. It had its moments, but mostly it just looked pretty and nothing else.

What is this even supposed to mean?

Nothing I have said indicates that I think that way at all, especially seeing as I have mentioned shows like Ojamajo Doremi, Flip Flappers and Akage no Anne. It's like you aren't even reading what you are responding to. It just seems clear to me that Phantom World was made as just another piece of light entertainment with all the things that appeal to otaku. You have other shows KyoAni have made like K-On!!, Nichijou or Hyouka that go far beyond that.
>You're pretending to be an expert on the medium, but you're not.

You aren't even trying to have a discussion here. This is pointless. The shows were mentioned to demonstrate examples of shows that wouldn't be considered mature that I think have artistic passion in response to the claim that I thought all anime needed to be mature to be good or artistic.

>>149400936
nah, the last episode was the only spooky one. The first few episodes were this weird combination of loss and comfort.

The first episode for some reason is just a massive tearjerker (even before I knew anything about the series, and the second time she falls? holy crap) and the rest has the oddest untraceable nostalgia. I swear, I had a dream just like Rakka's where I fell into a pit surrounded by crows, into a labyrinth with dead crows. This was 20 years ago at least.

It wasn't even that pretty when you get down to it. Technically it was well done, but outside of vibrant colors, Phantom World was pretty standard in its art direction. Everything was very well-animated, yeah, but what's the point in putting such effort toward animating something that looks so terribly generic?

I think a show that's as basic as SZS still can look prettier and be more fun to watch than Phantom World on stylish art direction alone.

It reminds me most of Abenobashi Mahou Shoutengai and Sekai Seifuku. Despite being about being about the merging of the normal and supernatural worlds, Phantom World has a very literal, straightforward feeling.

Abenobashi Mahou Shoutengai, on the other hand, is very much about world-jumping, genre parodies, and coming of age. Gainax's early 2000's kinetic animation style seems to have influenced Oshiyama as well. The scene from ep 1 where Papika runs along the side of the giant creature feels really Gainax-y.

And Sekai Seifuku depends very heavily on visual storytelling rather that dialog-based storytelling, where it's necessary to pay attention to the imagery to understand what's going on. Or sometimes you just can't, the imagery is suggestive but not conclusive.

>>149399604
this scene reminds me a lot of the intro of the game rule of rose, sadly this game isn't well known so i'm sure this isn't intentional

>>149401256
i kinda miss her glasses

>>149401064
I must say that's quite the dilemma, can I get both?

>>149401650
Expressing an opinion isn't "tooting your own horn", I was merely responding to your accusations against my character by bringing those shows up as examples, not attempting to compare and contrast them with Phantom World or add legitimacy to my prior expressed opinion about Phantom World, I specifically mentioned shows aimed at children with reference to a comment about maturity if you were able to read properly you would be able top discern that quite easily.

I explained why I thought Phantom World didn't have artistic merit when I said it, it comes off as a garbage LN adaptation made to be light entertainment that sells well to otaku, it may be well produced LN garbage but it doesn't come off as attempting to be anything more than what it is and it seems content with being just that. It isn't an ambitious project at all just one of many of its kind.

If you want to discuss why I mention shows like Flip Flappers or Akage no Anne or Ojamajo Doremi as having artistic integrity I could write a fair bit about each but I don't think you actually have any interest in that discussion.

>>149401785
The show has always been very intentional with its references, I don't see why Rule of Rose would be an exception.

You think we will ever see a majestic beatdown like when shinji raped his best friend in auto mode?

>>149401859
>Giving examples in name only without actually explaining what you think

Yeah no, you're fine.

>>149401871
Because finger licking like that is a really common romantic trope, and not even one unique to yuri.

I already explained to you why I provided the shows names multiple times, as examples of shows that aren't mature, not as examples to contrast with Phantom World.

That is generally how an opinion works.

You seem to have more interest in stringing this out for yous as long as possible to be honest, probably your intent from the beginning. I'll just give up responding now and go watch Phantom World.

>>149401972
It's not just the finger licking, it's the whole creepy all girl school vibe.
The point is, the show references plenty of stuff every episode, so if you think you spot a reference to something relevant to the episode's theme (like Mad max and Hokouto no Ken for episode 3, and now Rule of Rose, Clock Tower, The Shining for the creepy atmopshere of episode 5) then it is probably intentional.

When I saw this frame in the previews, I expected Papika (and/or maybe Yayaka) would end up racing to rescue the falling Cocona.

But, no.

In the "Spiderman" clocktower scene the girl is a valuable item to be protected and fought over. But in "Flip Flappers" Papika *throws the girl out of the nest herself* to fall or fly. And, after getting briefly caught and supported by Papika's giant ball of oddly floating "water", Cocona does fly.

She and her future wife.

>>149404589
Senpai is best girl too, yes.

>>149404518
You're going to be a failure of a neet if you don't understand the difference between want and need.

>>149404518
well no wonder you don't want or need a watch. no one wants to see you so you're never potentially late for appointments.
>>149404545
Yes. Papika is cute but annoying. Yayaka is better than Papika but not as cute. Cocona is best girl.

>>149404589
But Cocona is my wife.

>>149404679
You got cucked by Yayaka.

>>149404589
How would they even work as a couple?
One is an unmotivated slob, the other is totally ambivalent towards everything in life except a rabbit.

>>149404721
No, Yayaka got cucked by me. She's doing her homework in our bed right now and telling me about how Yayaka keeps trying to hit on her and make her do her homework.

>>149404753
Wrong. Cocona likes Papika very much.

>>149404813
And me, her husband.

And me, Papika's husband.

>>149404545
No way, Cocona is a rude and reserved slut.
Papika is a star that never stops shining, she's a cute little beast.

>>149404833
Yes she is, I am just waiting for her to finish her math homework, then we are going to cuddle and kiss.

>>149404400

I didn't used to wear watches all the time until after boot camp. I learned there the importance of being able to know the time whenever you want. When it comes down to it, it's a control thing really.

>>149404826
>>149404837
Yayaka will never have a husband because she's a smelly boy and her vagina is probably used up from flip flapping for so long.

Something doesn't seem right here.

Which is why her suffering and/or death is imminent.

>>149404939
How is that gross? She likes older boys and I'm a boy that is twice her age.

>>149403817
>Flip Flappers characters don't really conform to existing archetypes and already seem to be growing and developing. I'm not sure this is accurate in any way.
Thanks for the laugh

>>149404982
Epsidoe 8 is coming, Papikamina

>>149404970
It's a boy's vagina, that's why it's gross and probably covered in cream cake crumbs.

>>149404048
>They need to do fanservice since the main plot isn't getting japs interested

>>149405043
It's not fanservice, it's my pretty wife showering near her heterosexual friend

>>149404982
In a few billion years yes

>>149404939
This must be the third time you post this and I still don't get the filename.

>>149405043
'They' like fanservice.
You don't get into this industry without being a pervert of some sort.
And you don't pass up the opportunity to depict a cute girl in a lewd situation when it's your own weird passion-project type thing. (Whatever Flip Flappers actually is)

Can everyone agree to call Yayaka as Yakisoba from now on? Thanks.

>>149405150
Yakisaba dessho?

I find it funny that FliFags blame the show tanking to the little publicity it had while completely ignoring how bland and uninteresting the show is to begin with.

My wife is 14, she does not like being called a child. If you saw her the way I did, you would not be calling her one.

If I was the writer, and I wanted to absolutely crush my audience, I would kill Papika. Not until close the very end though, which would in turn force Cocona to come up with a real wish.

>>149405170
>implying bland and uninteresting shows can't get good sales
Hibike s1 fits and it sold pretty well

>>149405279
I want one

>>149405279
Pets are total bros if you arent a complete asshole and Uexkull is no exception

>>149405279
>>149405359
Uexkull is not a pet, Uexkull is her reproductive organs.

>>149405288
shit, I feel like this could actually happen.

>>149405252
Neither does Aoba.

>>149405386
My wife Cocona is much more mature than Aoba.

Just finished the first episode.

Does any of this shit get explained or are we all just going blind here.

>>149405374
He is a pet first and foremost, but can be interpretated as symbolic of fertility

>>149405418
It doesn't get explained but you'll become more comfortable with it as the show goes on.

>>149405418
Which parts are you confused about? This was the first episode that was almost wholly self-contained.

>>149405418
A lot of stuff was already explained, you just didn't realize it.

>>149405418
No worries, here is a list of theories:

Maybe watch the other 4 episodes before asking questions? Jesus

>>149405379

Me too and I'm hoping that I am wrong.

>>149405374
Does this mean that the only thing that Cocona treasures in life is her virginity?

>>149405441
Why was Cocona forced to leave her symbol of fertility behind when she entered the yurigakkou PI?
