The painting world has two hierarchies and the lower hierarchy has a little colour missing

The actions taken by Papika and Cocona in the black and white world affect the real Senpai!
>>149719754
Yes. Coconas are for Papikas
>>149720608
So all that affects the real Iroha is the bit in Black and White at the end. The rest is just them living her memories.

I wonder if they actually alter her memories or just changed her feelings towards her memories like help her deal with the issue instead of keeping it locked away.
>>149720718
they're basically colouring her memories and turning them into happy ones instead of grey ones.
qrE3TInqs.
>>149721882
I like to think it is like the black and white bit represented the overall feeling towards that parcel of memories related to the old lady and by agreeing to go speak to her they made it turn orange into an overall positive experience rather than blue into a negative one if they hadn't gone, the memories themselves remain the same just the feeling towards it gets determined.
What is this in Cocona's dream?
>>149720608
You missed the last line:
>FliFla episode 6 contains deep content that is continued in episode 7, I really like it.
>>149722076
Something related to her vagina and suppressed lust towards YYK
>>149722076
It represents the intact hymen of Cocona's dream reality.
>>149722124
I don't really understand what they are trying to say there to be honest. Emotionally heavy like episode 6? It doesn't look it. Multiple layers of PI in episode 7? Maybe.
>>149722076
reminds of the tree/humans in that one old manga about traveling into the future.
Essentially, a human would be in that hole, essentially "hooked up" to the tree's root. The human sucked nectar from the roots while the tree gathered nutrients from their excrement andsemen and eggs
The freaky thing was the humans were alive and hella willing to live in the trees. They had never known anything else.
>>149722076
Dude, it's obviously supposed to be her vagina. She's worried about the hymen being torn so it's been protected multiple times.
>>149722076
You mean in Cocona’s actual life
>>149722214
Oh yea, it's not too hard to imagine that its a reference since there's a lot of old sci-fi references in this anime, like bu chan
>Cute, pretty, and handsome at the same time
>Loyal and protective
>Resourceful and adaptive
>Impeccable taste in interior design
>Cute, virile puppydong
>Will lick your pussy all night and cook exotic breakfast for you the next morning
Is Papika the perfect pet husbando (female)? Cocona is such a lucky girl.

>>149723069
I miss her hoverboard and big pink jacket.
Last episode hit a little too close to home. I thought I was just imagining things every time Cocona's aunt asked if she had a nightmare and handed over her clothes for the day.
I can't imagine them naked without cocks anymore. Thanks, /a/.
>>149722334
I'm not sure we'll get an out and out kiss (maybe offscreen?) But I'm increasingly convinced we'll get at least some sort of love confession scene. Maybe Cocona just coming to realize that she loves the girl who has loved her back this whole time.
>>149723617
I think Papika loves a lot more than just Cocona's back.
>>149723617
Papika is incapable of love
She just likes Cocona because she was first girl who didn't died
>>149722334
>Will they kiss by the end?
Yes, by doing that they will merge into one proper person who will become a proper date partner for Yayaka.
>>149723617
I’m pretty sure we’ll either get explicit yuri or them being the same person/similar tweeest fuckery. Currently gravitating more towards the latter.
>>149723348
At least she had to tell her about periods.
>>149723521
Can't believe it took me this long to realize that her grandma might not be KKK bad, but just have dementia.
>>149723807
There's definitely some hints of that but I don't think it will be as cut and dry as that. Between Papika hinting about her wish being about meeting Cocona and all that I feel like they're more destined partners in whatever sense. Like they're two halves of a whole but not as in they merge but as in they're both needed to do something.
Perhaps Papika represents PI while Cocona is the normal world so their relationship represents the bridge between those worlds? Either way, they're a designated couple.
I want to dress Papika up as a boy!
>>149723807
There won't be explicit yuri the director described their relationship as more than friends, less than lovers in Newtype this month.
>>149724087
As it is currently and during most of the show’s run, yes.
Anyone reading more into it than that, one way or the other, is an utter imbecile.
>>149724087
Yes but that could be taken as just the current state of things. Who says that pertains to the future?

>>149724187
If it’s not going to happen, then not due to that interview.
I don’t believe it’ll happen either, but mainly because I expect everything to fit into one big allegory and having your adulthood romance your childhood doesn’t quite fit. If that doesn’t happen, it’ll be at the very least Madoka levels of explicit.
What type of watch does this dork wear?
>>149724295
I don't think that will happen either, there wont be some crazy twist where Paipka was Cocona but Cocona was Papika all along. They will just defeat the KKK and some of Pure Illusion will be explained in some way and we will have a bunch of left over questions and that will be about it.
A mindfuck ending that doesn't explain anything is the best way this could end. Decades from now, FliFla would be considered a classic and people would still discuss what it all meant.

YOU'RE CRAZY IN THE COCONUT
>>149724542
Definitely the EVA of anime.
>>149723573
You are very welcome.
Anyone else feel like this anime really should have been a 24/26 episode thing?
They could have easily had an episode for the tetris wolrd and the bean stalk world and an episode for the extra fragment they had collected at the beginning of this weeks episode.
I think they are going to go full plot in episode 8 after Yuniko stops writing scripts because Yuniko says they don't get the story after that point. Just somewhat worried it is going to come off as rushed and convoluted.
>>149724932
>Anyone else feel like this anime really should have been a 24/26 episode thing?
No.
>They could have easily had an episode for the tetris wolrd and the bean stalk world
And it would add nothing.
If you listen to background music starting from 17:00 in episode 4, it's a slower instrumental version of Over the Rainbow. It's also used in preview of episode 6.
And in episode 1 starting from 11:38 there's a faster version.
I wonder if the actual song would be used as insert song at some point.
>>149724963
Sure it would. We get to explore more cool worlds one of the best things about this show and they get more time to develop the characters.
>>149724932
A 2-cour wouldn't be as consistent. There'd be boring episodes, QUALITY episodes and so on. Worst case, it would kill the entire studio like SamFlam.
>>149724963
It would also have meant they could have told a much more continuous story without the need for some many time skips. They way the skipped those two worlds felt like they had more planned but had to cut it because they couldn't fit it in the time.
>>149725086
Why would you assume that? Two cour shows can remain consistently interesting and well made.
>>149724992
>I wonder if the actual song would be used as insert song at some point.
Yes. For the final episode's ED
>>149725121
I read it more as the writers knew they couldn't sell CCN+PPK's relationship in only four episodes or so, so they let the audience know that more development, specifically the gradual "getting comfortable" phase, happened offscreen.
I'm fine with this.
>>149725017
But yes, even given what I wrote in >>149725221 , I also agree with this.
>>149725221
I'm fine with it but I think the story could have been told in an entertaining way across more episodes.
>>149725017
The episodes are already light on grand scheme information, you could easily condense it down more if you wanted to.
The individual episodes are nice, but at some point you are just blueballing the viewer for the bigger plot. Flip Flappers currently strikes a very nice balance and shouldn’t deviate too much in either direction, but it’s definitely closer to the verbose end of things, padding bigger plot points with very good side plots but still side plots. 1 and 2 are pretty redundant for example, the other episodes have either something unique to reveal about story and setting or are focused character development (4).
>>149725121
>They way the skipped those two worlds felt like they had more planned but had to cut it because they couldn't fit it in the time.
No. Not at all. The very fact that they could be skipped without ANY explanation about what happened there except for "they got the fragments, not us" tells you that there was nothing of bigger value in those segments. And that’s why they were never written in the first place.
>>149725273
I would have liked to see more "dreamworlds" before we started diving into people's real memories.
>>149723521
Same, I had a Great Aunt who went the same way. I was drunk when I watched the episode so I was a little more vulnerable but I ended up crying like a fucking child by the end.
>>149725336
Grandma gets lucky tonight.
>>149725313
Well next episode's PI looks to be a "dreamworld" so I don't know what point you're trying to make.
Deciding whether or not the series would benefit from a whole extra cour should wait until the final episode. There are more episodes that haven't aired than there are that have.
>>149719771
>>149725312
I just don't feel the same way I suppose. The idea that an episode is redundant if it doesn't reveal unique information isn't one that I think is true. I think you place too much value on the idea of having a "tight" story, just having fun in interesting settings is good in itself and gives more time for the viewer to develop a connection with the characters. Neither do I think is the assertion that 1 and 2 are redundant in this respect but that is besides the point.
>there was nothing of bigger value in those segments
The enjoyment of watching those events unfold is value in itself. Maybe I am just more used to watching longer format shows or something but I don't feel that every single piece of something needs to in any way be crucial to the complete narrative to be worthwhile.
I am not saying my opinion is objectively right or anything like that but I get a bit of a feeling that you might be being a little too defensive over anything that could even be construed as a criticism. I love the show and think its great and I would have loved to have seen more of the characters having fun in cool settings regardless of if that really drove the narrative forward in any developmental sense.
>>149725820
>I think you place too much value on the idea of having a "tight" story
I do exactly that, right. I love watching Precure too, but there’s a beauty in something that doesn’t outstay its welcome. Even the Precures I love the most could never be a 10/10 for me because of that, trimming fat is an essential process.
What I love so much about Flip Flappers is that it catches the fun of those episodic, long shows (and only the best episodes at that too!) while staying pretty damn tight in its narrative. It’s beautiful. If at the end I can look back at the whole cour and say "not a single episode was useless", it’ll probably be my all time favorite.
>>149725962
That's fair enough really. I quite like having a sizeable segment of essentially formulaic MOTW type stuff which in this instance would be Pure Illusion of the Week before getting to the real meat of the story.
>>149725312
I wouldn't call the first two episodes redundant. By the end of episode one Cocona is still wary of Papika and going back into Pure Illusion. If it jumped from from that to episode three it would feel rushed. Episode two serves to bridge a gap between episodes one and three by familiarizing Cocona and Papika more, which leads to the transition to their fight and later on their team-up against plant loli seem smooth and natural. At the same time the focus it gives to Yayaka is important for her reveal in episode three, and the focus on the rabbit/rabbit-based PI make the reveal in episode six that Illusions are based on people not feel like it came completely out of left field. Without the first three episodes, I feel like episode four would have suffered as well, since it builds off of the relationship Cocona and Papika developed.
Since the pacing in the show has been good so far, I feel like compacting the first two episodes would harm that and make the show feel rushed. They're both important, and both serve to do different things.
>>149726412
Yeah, it would be very difficult to combine both episodes into one without it feeling rushed as fuck. They’re not as densely packed as the rest of the show so there definitely is some redundancy, but it’s far from a useless episode.
>>149725086
The main reason I like Eva so much is because how packed it is. Every scene was placed there to tell us something and all stray pieces of dialogue too. I wonder if by the end of it FF will feel the same. But it's definitely be harder to do it over 26 episodes because the show doesn't really do much world building. I would like to see them try though. 2-cour show would be high risk, high reward.
>>149726884
eva most definitely has filler episodes, what the fuck are you talking about
>>149727410
And they're all great. The nuclear robots has so much world-building, Magma diver shows us a lot about Asuka. Non of them were useless unless with exception of half-episode recap and still shot like the elevator scene.
>>149727508
>Magma diver shows us a lot about Asuka
Look, I love Magma diver because it's fucking hilariously stupid, but it didn't really do anything.
Who is best boy and why is it Hidaka?
>>149727551
It did, it has Asuka lusting over Kaji with no result, has Kaji dodging her advances it gives some development to how she views Shinji after he saves her too. We see that Asuka is obsessed with keeping her position and insecure about letting other people take it. It built up her character a lot.

>>149729153
How is that an optical illusion? It's just a silhouette of a girl spinning to the left.
The arguments over 1cour vs 2cour is super useless without us knowing the whole story first.
If, when the show ends, the story is neatly tied up, then it was a story written to be told in 13 episodes to begin with. To add more episodes they would have to change the scope of the story, add more elements to it or just change the nature of the show itself.
FF has episodic stories but it's not Space Dandy and it's not Precure, it wouldn't work for it to have a dozen episodes that completely eschew the throughline.

The sillouette makes it that it can look like it spins in both way, it's pretty hard to do though if you focused on one side already

Reading the Wikipedia article, apparently this illusion was created by a Japanese designer, I didn't know that. Still not sure if the painting is a reference.
It seems that the figure in the painting is definitely facing towards the viewer. Otherwise her knee wouldn't bend that way. The ambiguousness is in whether the stairs ascend towards the viewer, or descend. It could go either way because the picture is so non-Euclidean.

>>149734971
I think it's more just that she won't try to leave papika again as she did in the first couple episodes.
>>149734971
I think it was referring to episode 3, where Cocona's dislike of handholding led to some desert kung fu.

It's also in part because in his Professor Jameson stories, the character has his brain placed into one of those machines bodies.
>>149738376
Well I think a big part of this show is watching Coconas path of self discovery. Both in terms of who she is and what she wants to do but also her discovery of romantic and sexual feelings. That said I agree I like that other than Papika being a genki girl and being rather clingy to Cocona, it isn't fully reciprocated though it seems as we go on we are watching Cocona become more and more attached.

Have we seen anything in the show to indicate that this theme is within its interests?

>>149739512
Its up to interpretation at this point. I think that you can view it that way either metaphorically though the episodes or just seeing Cocona reacts to Papika/Sayuir/Iro through the episodes.
There is something disturbing about Papika and Cocona's relationship.
Papika didn't seem concerned about her ex-partner at all when her ex seemed dead. She seems too objective oriented and so far I have yet to see she has done something purely personal for Cocona. Would she care if Cocona dies?
>>149739669
She learned that episode 2.

>>149739512
How about the episode dedicated to increasingly homoerotic relationships between girls
>>149739669
>so far I have yet to see she has done something purely personal for Cocona
What would you call risking her life to get Cocona's glasses back in episode 1?
>>149739663
Dorito senpai could just be Cocona being shy as usual. Her reaction to the demon loli was more blatant.
>>149739773
Papika is reckless and has no notion of risk. Risking life is the perception of Cocona.
You could say Papika wanted to get on good terms with Cocona after her initial reluctance.
>>149739729
>flip FLOP flip FLOP the sound when papika takes a walk
>>149739669
>Papika didn't seem concerned about her ex-partner at all when her ex seemed dead.
It's just an act. She cries every night. She remembers them all.
>>149739669
Cocona was the first partner she found by herself. The others were arranged marriages. Still when shit goes down CCN will probably tell Papika they were human beans too and slap her.
>>149739872
Individually I would say yes you could look at them as her being shy as her coming out of her shell is definitely a part of her character development. And I may just have my shipping goggles too tightly affixed but the way I see it if you take her reaction to all of them together I think it becomes a bit more apparent that Cocona may be dealing with the fact that she likes girls.
Biggest example I can think off the top of my head is when Papika sleeps naked next to her in episode 4. In most situations in anime I would expect that to lead to le wacky hi-jinx, Cocona smacking Papika and maybe a good old fashion pan to the sky EEEEEHHHH?!
Instead we see Cocona clearly uncomfortable until she decides to just sleep outside away from Papika. To me this indicates that it at least meant something to her.
>>149739931
>papika's wish is to bring them all back and introduce Cocona to all of them
What's his endgame?
>>149719754
Doesn't he look a bit like Dr. Salt?
>>149740449
Oh shit.
>>149739512
Papika and Cocona's relationship is definitely the most important point in character development.
But this relationship is far too unbalanced, one-sided, and almost pragmatic as Papika solely intended to "use" Cocona to achieve her objectives because she couldn't find other partners.
For this relationship to grow, some major development will be needed to show for example why Cocona is deeply fated to be the OTP for Papika and how Cocona begins to appreciate and love Papika's personality organically not just because of concern for Papika's well-being or that Papika has done something nice for her.
I suppose ep. 7 will give us some slice of life moments and Cocona would love the tomboy Papika.
>>149740153
and then they all have transformations
>>149740572
>how Cocona begins to appreciate and love Papika's personality organically
that development has already happened anon
>Papika solely intended to "use" Cocona
not at all, there's not some tweest facetious shit going on. everything papika says and does is genuine, like her concern for cocona's life in episode 2 or when she repeatedly says she likes her and praises her for things
Reminder not to sexualize the flip flaps
>>149740705
>that development has already happened anon
Cocona's reaction is too muted if any
>everything papika says and does is genuine
It's not a problem with Papika being genuine or not. The problem is the relationship has no substance outside of the mission to retrieve fragments (yet). To make it not a relationship of convenience there has to be either more life together outside of the mission, or plot destroying the normal life of Cocona leaving her with only the life of PI.
>>149740739
But what if I sexualize the Flap Flips?
>>149740846
their relationship is they bond through working together and become friends/lovers depending on how far the show takes it. what is this substance you're talking about? i don't understand the need for some external element validating the characters' feelings.
and it has already been set up, because they're two halves of the same entity (90% sure about this). but that fact alone shouldn't have anything to do with their liking for each other and i'm almost tempted to say the show will point out exactly this by the end
I-I'm done.

How is bonding through working together going to work when the work is forced upon? When asked by Yayaka Cocona said she was doing it as told by Papika and it was fun sometimes. As the premise of their relationship if the mission of PI doesn't mean something important to Cocona, their relationship would not be as important for her too because there is nothing outside of the mission. Thus either the importance gets explained or life outside of the mission needs to be shown.

Which is entirely built upon the premise of reducing their impedance as part of the mission. Also again, Cocona's reaction from this is too muted.
That ending bit of FLIP FLAP FLIP FLAP makes it sound really ominous.

I am pretty much looping and saying "Flip Flap" over and over.
(Fits that fairy tale themed ending.)
>>149740913
Fantastic.
>>149741273
I think that the nature of their work is an important thing to consider when evaluating the characters' relationships. Papika and Cocona, etc. do some weird shit if you think about what you see on the screen. Imagine living a somewhat traumatic childhood yourself as Cocona. You have shared that childhood with not one other person, but two. Cocona has an elderly caretaker and she experienced losing her to dementia, but as Iro. Cocona also has no memory of parents of her own but she experienced shitty ones.
They've fought huge monsters as well. It's some crazy shit at times and I have no doubt things will get crazier. The preview for episode 7 has either Papika in multiple styles or more than one Papika and there might be much more than that. The pictures that usually come on Tuesday sometimes show a different setting in which the characters might find themselves.
>>149740913
now we just need a pixel art music video to go along with it
>>149741549
I disagree. Yes it starts out as a mandate from FlipFlap as part of their mission and Cocona may start out viewing it that way but you can tell that fact is almost instantly forgotten by Papika over her excitement for being able to get closer to Cocona. This kind of sets the tone for the rest of the episode because they're never from there actively working toward getting closer in any kind of unnatural way. Rather their circumstance and generally just *being* together brings them closer (deserted island misadventure being just a vehicle for this.)
I'll grant you Cocona is muted but that is part of her character. She doesn't know what to do with her emotions. As I've stated earlier in this thread (I'm not the anon you've been replying to) I believe that Cocona finding herself both as a person and as a romantic/sexual individual is a big part of the show so of course she would be muted at the beginning since she's uncomfortable really letting herself feel (understandable maybe if you consider abandonment issues from her missing parents?)
But over the course of the episode we see that:
A) Clearly she feels *something* for Papika especially within the context of not feeling good enough for her whens she gets lost on the island.
B) Clearly she's reacting to Papika's forwardness (sleeping naked, the bath, just the general contact) outside of her usual approach to brushing Papika off/shoving her away. Instead we see her embarassed but not in an exasperated way, more in a subdued way that tells me she's dealing with feelings for the girl and whether or not she should be feeling them at all.
All of this culminates at the end when she promises to not leave Papika because, I believe, she has begun to start to come to terms with the fact that she may just like this girl as more than a "business partner" or even a friend.
>>149742500
Cocona has deep feelings for Papika and they will burst forward and they will get really close together soon and enhance their relationship
Just like the OP shows they are made for each other.
So Cocona and Yayaka fags-trying to force this unnatural relationship, get fucked
>>149742671I actually also like Cocona and Yayaka. It's a cute concept. But sticking purely to canon Papika and Cocona are meant for each other.
>shipperfags
>>149743074

But if Papika has an "accident" and stays in PI or whatever, she'll have no other choice but to stay with Yayaka, right?
>>149743132
Sure, Yayaka, you can have Papika's sloppy seconds.
>>149743132
I'm surprised they haven't tried this "one stuck in a PI" yet. But that be more of an endgame catastrophe.
I'm probably fucking stupid but where are you guys getting the beanstalk/tetris/other worlds stuff from? A post credits scene?

All well said.
There isn't really something I want to disagree with. I'm analyzing the missing pieces and unbalances in the current shape of their relationship hoping to predict its development. Of course it will develop because there is only half of the story shown.
The unbalance problem I've seen in their relationship more originates from the problem of Cocona's lack of motivation. She had problem choosing what to do after middle school, was said to have nothing inside, consistently did as told without own purposes (even to get manipulated by PI). There is this identity issue to be resolved first or along with her relationship, because to love Papika she must first love herself. The origin of the identity issue was well explained as she grew up without parental care and love. The resolution of the issue probably relies on her finding her life's purpose in the process of working together with Papika.
Papika's motives so far are too one-dimensional if genuine. Just "needing her to synchronize" is not a good enough reason to build a strong relationship imo. I hope future PI missions will add more depth to it and show some more deep connection to Cocona's life (Born/implanted with a fragment in her thigh? Parents dying of accidents in early PI experiments?).
Indeed ep 4 for the first time showed something Cocona truly wanted to do for herself and this is implied as a result of the positive influence of Papika. A scenario from here I could guess is Cocona projects her wish for reunion with missing family to the idea of finding the missing love in Papika. The show in general is very subtle with everything so I won't expect a strong expression of the relationship.

>>149743531
As to Papika I almost expect that she somehow already had a wish and used it to find Cocona. I suppose I'm just willing to accept Papikas emotions mostly at face value. Don't know why that is other than I just like her a ton. But I feel that Papika in a way already knows that the two of them are two halves of a whole (either metaphorically or literally) and I suppose in that knowledge that she's meant to be with Cocona, outside of hating the girl which she has no reason to do I suppose it would be natural to feel a sense of love for that person.
I feel we may end up with something subtle but what I am at least hoping for is some indication that Cocona has some to the realization that she loves Papika and that Papika has loved her back for most of if not this whole time.

Totally absent from this scenario is the antagonist, without which the analogy is inapt.
We already know the color/grey dichotomy isn't "awake/asleep", but rather related to the space's position within PI.
That old lady is still dead. They just changed Iroha's memories.
Nothing about this scene is like Snow White except:

>>149744026
And the fact that poison apple is specifically mentioned is just a coincidence? Even though there was no reason for sempai to say that? Yeah, right.
What's going on here?

>>149744304
But they don't bring her a poison apple. There is no poison apple anywhere.
More importantly, the analogy doesn't inform anything. Knowing that it's Snow White doesn't reveal aspects of the characters or the plot. If there were a tweet of the script cover with "THE SNOW WHITE EPISODE" on it, what would that show us? At best, some production-level in joke. It has nothing to do with the show.
>>149744340
Armpit fetish seems to be on the rise lately.
>>149744304
Like, we already know that someone on the team read Grimm in translation. This isn't new information.
>>149743749
I'm pretty sure most people immediately knew senpai was referencing Snow White when she asked about the poison apple. Granted nobody seemed to know why she did that.
Everything else you listed, however, isn't really convincing to me. Because they're all generic cliche, not characteristically Snow White. I admit it's the most reasonable explanation for the poison apple line, but if yes, then the writer failed at making symbol of that tale.
>>149744520
I think it's just more fairy tale theming, nothing in particular to do with the plot of episode 6.

You mean she's just plain tsun now. I wish Yayaka was more dere and wanting to compete with Papika for Cocona's affections, she's a much better girl than Papika. Papika is just too retarded to take seriously.
>>149745936
Leave Cocona's retard fetish alone.
>>149745936
I like that she's not deredere at all, it makes her more interesting overall. She evidently still cares about Cocona a lot whilst being an outwardly cold person. I really wonder what their relationship was like when life was still normal, did they just sit in the sick room and make small talk?
>>149745936
Sure is a good thing Yayaka has no romantic attraction at all to Cocona. So she doesn't actually need to compete with anything.
Will he ever come back?
>>149746016
>>149746044
She was initially protective of Cocona when she first met Papika. I just find it lame that she just went all "whatever" a little while later.
>>149746087
Son, what you have is called "autism". It's means you are unable to understand social cues or human interaction. Nothing Yayaka ever did was indicative of her being romantically attracted to Cocona.
>>149746180
Are you actually retarded? You realize you can at least be jealous about your friend getting stolen away by some random autist right? Not to mention Yayaka did explicitly act protective of Cocona when Papika kept pestering her. Oh nevermind you're a friendless loser so I guess you wouldn't understand.
>>149746087
Because you are fucking retard
She was against Cocona joining enemy organization and going inside of dangerous dimension
After Cocona decided to go anyway, there literally nothing she could do
It's obvious that she still cares about Cocona, but there no reason for her to be a drama queen after her friend made her mind
Go watch lostorage or izetta if you need artificial and forced social interactions so much
>>149746240
>no you don't understand, the characters are SUPPOSED to not interact
Sounds like you enjoy eating shit.
Anyone think it's likely that the last PI they will visit is the one resembling Cocona's dream with the boat?
>>149746087
It won't be lame anymore when it is revealed that Cocona is an unwitting pawn of KKK.
>>149746224
Don't worry, there are lots of resources that can help you. Just head over to autismspeaks.org
This chain of posts started with "compete" and "for affections". Which can only be used in a romantic context. Because if it was just friendship, there would be no reason to compete.
>>149746312
There have still been signs of Yayaka caring for Cocona, such as her giving advice in the time loop, or offering to return them home in the same episode, or cautioning Cocona and Papika not to enter the door in the most recent episode.
Not every character has to display the same degree of openness when it comes to revealing their emotions.
>>149746372
You sound well acquainted with resources for dealing with autism. I suppose you need it, being an autistic friendless loser and all.
I don't know if this is too complex for your autistic brain to comprehend, but when your friend gets a new friend who you don't like then a natural outcome would be to compete for their affection so they hang out with you more than the person you don't like.
>>149746375
The point is that Yayaka has already shown more openness about it, again namely in episode 2. Suddenly turning aloof and detached with random acts of kindness contradicts what we've already seen.
>>149746427
When you have autism, overreacting is also something you do. Like getting mad when you're wrong. Also affection is not really a word you used to describe friendship.Also, from the sounds of it, you were the friendless loser and you were always trying to bribe people to be your friend by giving them stuff or doing them favors, e.g "compete". Because none of them ever actually liked you, and they always wanted to hang around with other people. Haha, actual friendship is unconditional.
>>149746477
>people can only act one way ever and not change their behavior/attitudes based on different circumstances
Are you serious?
Also it was an episode's length of time in between events, so given the time to think and decide how to react to Cocona's affiliation with the "other side", it's not a stretch to assume that Yayaka could've adapted to the new situation especially considering that she's a soldier.
>>149746477
>The point is that Yayaka has already shown more openness about it, again namely in episode 2.

You sound like an ESL monkey. Would explain why you have such trouble understanding a simple concept like friendship. At least, I hope that's the case and you're not actually literally autistic. Nice projecting by the way.
>>149746372
Not that anon, but I always get jealous when my close friends start getting close to other people..
>>149746427
To be fair, if you don't state clearly "Yayaka is possessive of her friend," it's usually understood in a romantic sense. Especially since she's being jealous of Papika, who had been confirmed to be more than friends with Cocona.
We don't know how Yayaka actually feel for Cocona. Simply platonic, or also heading that way. So no use in getting butthurt, just have fun with all the possibilities.
is it trolling amateur hour again
yayaka obviously cares about cocona, and she also obviously is jealous of papika
she's just not the kind of person to talk about that all the time, and her being on the opposing team makes things even worse
it's like you guys never watched a sports anime
>>149746600
You make me laugh. Being ESL, which I'm not, has nothing to do with not being able to understand friendship. What you just did is called a false dichotomy. And you did it because you're grasping and upset. I also projected nothing, you're the one who said friendship is conditional, which is totally wrong.

No one is saying another. You should try reading.

You literally said "affection is not really a word you used to describe friendship." You're either ESL or autistic. You can't backpedal out of this.
>>149746715
>backpedal
I like that you used this word, because it's exactly what you are trying to do with the point you made about friendship being conditional. Which also makes your projecting point ironic as well. You've added nothing new since the last time you were proven wrong, so there's no point in furthering this.
TANOMO
>>149746695
>a simple linear change in the degree to which a character's emotions are revealed is an inconsistency
In the second episode, before knowing Cocona was part of FlipFlap, Yayaka showed her emotions more openly towards Cocona.
In the following episode, after knowing Cocona is part of FlipFlap, Yayaka's emotions are held back due to the fact that they are now "enemies", as necessary given Yayaka's own role which she clearly takes seriously.
In every episode following, Yayaka's concern for Cocona is heavily subdued but can still be found in the form of subtle signs.
The emotion is the same, but the magnitude to which it's displayed is varied, again given the changes in circumstances. What part of it is an inconsistency, or do you not know what an inconsistency is?
>>149740913
GREAT JOB ANON
>>149746798
If your English skills are rubbish then of course continuing this argument is pointless. You thinking "affection" is synonymous with romantic interest is only one obvious misunderstanding you have, I can only imagine what the fuck other words you're misunderstanding which makes it so hard for you to comprehend simple concepts. It's time to go back to anki my third world friend.
>>149737661
An Uexkull would make me happy too.
Which flip flap would you ask out on a date?
>>149746841
Yayaka isn't an introverted autist though. Considering she directly confronts Papika a few times when she first meets her, it would be more in line with her personality to be upfront with Cocona instead of being all aloof and mysterious. The only explanation for this change in personality would be that the KKK grand dragon forbade her from talking about PI and stuff.
>>149746859
That's nice. I enjoy watching you struggle as you try to keep avoiding the word "compete". Well, you can go back to bribing people to be your friends or whatever it is you do.
>>149740913
Thank you so much!
>>149746940
Yayaka, because she's just so cool.
>>149746952
>compete = bribe
I guess that's another example of your pathetic vocabulary. Is using a dictionary really so hard? You can't blame living in a third world shithole for your lack of a dictionary when you have Google.
>>149746045
He's there every episode anon.
>>149746969
What's the point of the helmet if she never wears it again?
>>149746947
Not being up front with Cocona has nothing to do with autism, it's professionalism. From what we've seen, she's highly loyal to Asclepius and chances are that there are conflicting priorities at hand which also explains the random acts of kindness.
Also, due to a greater difference in personalities or unfamiliarity or even jealousy, it makes sense why Yayaka would treat Papika completely differently than she would Cocona.
>>149747036
Rule of cool.
>>149746969
>>149747139
That scene in the OP where her hair flies in the air with the explosion behind her still gives me chills.
>>149746998
Yes, as a matter of fact, compete does equal bribe in this context. You should work on your English skills. Tell me, what do you think compete means? You are trying to buy favor with this person, thus with their "friendship". What does your "competition" involve?
>>149747082
It would have been more coherent for the events to have gone something like
>Cocona: I'm going to gather crystals and shit
>Yayaka: Okay that's dangerous and you have no idea what you're doing, allow me to explain [...]
and not
>Cocona: I'm going to gather crystals and shit
>Yayaka: o-okay y-you too *portals away*
I guarantee this crap is just setting up for the inevitable tweest episode where everything gets explained but seemingly too late because Yayaka simultaneously cares for and doesn't care for Cocona.
>>149747195
>allow me to explain
fuck off
>>149747195
She already said it was dangerous and she doesn't know what she's doing during episode 5 when she pulled Cocona out of her bed to talk. Then at the end of episode 5 she tells Cocona to give her the shard because again, as she says, you have no idea what it does, or what it is. Cocona still refuses and gives Yayaka her definitive answer of no, and then portals away without the shard.
>>149747174
You sound like you've literally never had friends before. Like, can you not fathom how to become more friendly towards someone without "bribing" them?
Here's an obvious one: you talk to them more instead of acting all aloof and antisocial, you god damn autist.
>>149747217
If the writers were actually competent they could explain things in a way other than a boring text dump. I think it's highly likely they're going to do what I said though.
>>149747195
I agree that a lot of it is going to come down to why the two groups oppose each other in the first place, or what stakes are involved in the whole PI/gathering fragments business. But this has never been a show that's too eager to tip its hand when it didn't have to, and that's a large part of why the mystery is so compelling. At the rate things are progressing, I'm pretty fine with how the characters have acted so far.
Is it thursday yet?
>>149747273
Ahaha, you are trying so hard to avoid directly answering what you think competition is. Because you know it undermines everything you said. What you don't even realize is that you attempted answer still amounts to bribery. Because you are trying to give them more "enjoyable conversation", thus giving them what they want. Again, actual friendship is unconditional.
>>149747264
If Yayaka is so professional and wants her shards so much why doesn't she drop a truth bomb and persuade Cocona into handing them over? This is what's so retarded about their interaction.
>yayaka is suddenly aloof because she takes her job seriously and cocona is the enemy now so can't be too friendly
>but she'll just let her enemy walk away with shards without a word because somehow cocona is too important to her to mug and complete her job
>but then again her job is more important than cocona so she can't be open towards her
Some real retarded doublethink going on.

This. The wait is killing me. It's been a while since the last time I've been so obsessed over getting the next episode of a series. I want fucking answers and multiverse Papikas now.
Punish the bullies.
>>149747389
>still unironically unable to think of ways to garner affection besides bribery
Yeah, you're an autist. Also context matters. If your friend is about to be converted to an 'enemy' team then it's naive to think you should just let it happen and everything will be fine because muh unconditional. In fact the show pretty much shows this, because now Yayaka is acting more distant to Cocona than before she joined the opposing team.
>>149747459
The handsomest.
>>149747477
>muh
Dude, stop, I'm going to bust a lung laughing at you. You honestly think just adding "muh" to your post proves other people wrong.
>>149747501

>>149747530

Textbook BTFO faggot. There aren't many more pathetic ways to concede an argument. Hit the English textbooks and try again next time ESL kid.
>>149747273
>If the writers were actually competent they could explain things in a way other than a boring text dump.
You mean like they have been doing the entire time that you haven't picked up on? We directly see the consequences of meddling with Pure Illusion every time they enter one and come out of it. The Flappers have dangerous fights, risk being trapped inside a PI for all eternity and last time we learned that they can even change people's personalities. Whether they altered memories or did something else is irrelevant. Their actions inside PI had real world consequences. They were at risk of never breaking the loop on their own in episode 5 and might have gone down with the world after it collapsed if Yayaka hadn't pulled them out. When Welwitschia recovered in episode 3 after they lost their transformations they were at risk of being killed and we don't know how that would have affected their real selves.
Every episode so far has taught you something about PI with the deepest insight yet in ep 6. The writers want you to pick up on the clues and extrapolate and speculate on them because it's much more fun to see your theories proven right or wrong than to just sit there and have someone on screen explain it all for you.
The reason that Yayaka doesn't give Cocona an infodump might be that she's sworn to secrecy and only revealed as much as she has because she cares about her. She was also cut off last episode when she was about to say something concrete, but the Flappers were gone before she could finish, again emphasizing the danger of PI.
>>149747501
But Yayaka is a small girl.
>>149747573
Stop. They're friends, not lovers.
>>149747589
>The reason that Yayaka doesn't give Cocona an infodump might be that she's sworn to secrecy and only revealed as much as she has because she cares about her.
See >>149747393
>>149747596
Yeah, that's why Cocona's marrying Yayaka instead.
>>149747596
Yayaka is just standing in as the father of the bride and is about to give Cocona's hand to Papika.
>>149747596
They probably would have had an intimate relationship had Papika never appeared. I don't think either had any friends.
That is unless Yayaka ended up going to a boys school.
>>149747573
>>149747582
>shitpsoting because you're upset

Still laughing. And your argument was already proven wrong, nothing you said changed that.
>>149747501
God damn, those braids. It would be criminal if we never got to see them again.
>>149747619
If you want to complain about everything being able to be resolved by people talking to each other, I recommend you find a Hibike thread instead of shitting up the one about the crazy weirdos going to dreamland show.
>>149747650
Haha, I knew this was the spammer pretending to have a real discussion for once.
>>149747650
>unironically typing your laughter
And you got proved wrong by the English dictionary. One last (You) for the ESL monkey.
>>149747393
Maybe she can't talk about exactly why their cult needs the shards? Dropping a truth bomb would mean either revealing more than she wants to about how the shards work, which would mean Papika which is standing right next to Cocona would get an earful of what KKK's endgame is, or she would blatantly lie about her main objective, which Cocona could easily perceive is not genuine, just like when she said they were collecting the gems for world domination.
>yayaka is suddenly aloof because she takes her job seriously and cocona is the enemy now so can't be too friendly
This is true.
>but she'll just let her enemy walk away with shards without a word because somehow cocona is too important to her to mug and complete her job
>Hand over the amorphous.
>No way!
>It's not what you think it is.
>No.
>Papika and I found it together.
>You know what that means, right?
>Not at all!
>But if you try something, I'll stop you!
>We'll never lose!
>Let's go.
Doesn't sound like she left without trying to convince her to give her the shard. And Cocona pretty clearly stated that she wouldn't let Yayaka mug her for one to complete her job.
>but then again her job is more important than cocona so she can't be open towards her
When Cocona's right next to Papika, this is a fairly justifiable stance to take. She did pull Cocona away from Papika to tell her all of those things during the time loop. I doubt she would have told her those things with Papika present.
>>149747628
>Yayaka is just standing in as the father of the bride and is about to give Cocona's hand to Papika.
@149747750
Christ, anon was right and you actually are the spammer? Honestly with how autistic you are I guess it makes sense.
>>149747777
You know that you just repeating the word spammer doesn't actually make it true, right? And it doesn't make you any less of the one spamming. Maybe if you actually owned up to reposting the same images every thread it would be less clear you are the one doing it.
why are non-thursday flip flap threads so full of autism
>>149747862
They're full then, too.
>>149747393
The people Yayaka's trio are working for don't exactly seem the diplomatic and understanding sort. She obviously doesn't want to fight Cocona, but her bosses might get her killed if she directly helped C&P or spilled too many secrets.
@149747845
So you thought I was crack spammer because you're too ESL to understand that "affection" is not synonymous with romance and now you're just sperging out because you don't want to look wrong on an anonymous imageboard. Well I guess I'm proud of you for not calling everyone akemi this time. But this will be your last reply from me since you're too stubborn to admit you objectively misunderstood a simple English word.
>>149747929
Ah, there you go again trying to avoid the word compete, and I didn't misunderstand anything. You always trying to avoid the word compete proves it.

>>149747393
Nothing so far suggests that Cocona would give up on collecting fragments after that truth bomb. If anything the opposite could happen, she’d try to stop Yayaka from doing it. It’s dangerous business and world domination isn’t the nicest thing you can do.
>>149746902X-skull
Just watched the 6 episodes. Reminds me of Jinrui.
Might be because of the ED though.
>>149749372
It's Papika's hairstyle that reminds you of Jinrui.
>>149749372
I got the same impression. The similar hairstyles and overly colourful worlds between the two are probably what's doing it.

Shitty tropes you don't expect to see in Flip Flappers. I'll start:
>Breast envy.
>>149750433
That's just because every character is unnaturally stacked for a middleschooler.
The best we'll see is Yayaka silently comparing herself to the other two at some point
>>149750557
They're hardly stacked. Even Sayuri and the nurse are flat.
>>149750634
This is stacked like a card shark's deck, anon.
You just don't get to see it often because the art style and their clothing hide these budding bazookas.
Last night I had a vivid dream of Papika dying. Director-san's comment about things getting serious scared me.
>>149750730
I want details. You can't just have a potentially prophetic dream and then not tell us more.
>>149750730papika dies and blue-haired twintails will replace her
>>149750762
It's weird because I can remember it was vivid, but I can't actually remember the details. All I remember was me watching the show, Papika dying, and me getting really worked up about it.
>>149750778
Blue-haired twintails will show up soon and want to be partners with either Papika or Cocona, and the other half of the pair will get in the way and she tries to kill them, calling it now.

Looks like they are just goofing around.
>>149751240
That has nothing to do with genders. Both sexes get equally freaked out if their appearance is vastly altered.
Nowadays males tend to have short hair so that's why you got the (false) impression that they don't make a big deal, but the truth is that dudes who keep long hair get really depressed/angry if they have to cut it. All short haired dudes I know would never shave their head, and get terrified at the thought of becoming bald.

Even K-on! is closer to a new Eva than Haruhi. I mean, K-on! was at least influential in that it helped establish the market for CGDCT. Haruhi on the other hand was just some rampant success.
>>149752408
Yep, nobody has been making self-aware light novel shit with snarky protagonists after Haruhi, and cgdct wasn't a thing before K-ON. Thanks for your analysis, anime_expert.

Ah fuck it. Watch Flip Flappers, shit's good mang.
>>149752688
Not him, but there would've never been so many Kirara shows if not for K-On success. Even though Hidamari Sketch was also relatively successful. Which would've led to more mixed-gender SoLs instead of all-girls shows.

>>149752908
Sure, the thing is just that our dear expert had it exactly the wrong way around.
Haruhi established a trend that we're just now slowly seeing the end of, it was massively influential on top of being a huge hit.
K-ON just cashed in on a trend that was already in full swing for at least half a decade, it's literally "just some rampant success". Even if you stick strictly to KyoAni, they were already making bank with that kind of thing with Lucky Star the year before.
>>149752935

It’s not like there never were any light novels before Haruhi either. K-On might have been later to the party, but in essence they were both massive cash cows that made even the most out of touch with reality producer you can imagine realize that this is a huge market. This is what makes a genre go from a show every few years to a show every season.
Lucky Star is a fairly different show because it’s supposedly comedy, whereas K-On really perfected the art of being about nothing at all.
