Then next episode Yayaka is going to try join Flip Flap and Papika won't be able to get over their personal differences and will fight with Yayaka which will piss off Cocona leading to the described argument I bet.

It could be one of those too, could be lots of things.
Her mistaking it for candy (ie it's not plastic) and it being in a school swimming pool makes it more likely to be a chlorine ball though.
>>
Rip yayaka.
>>
>>150131573
Personally if it turns out the backstory is more along the lines of dual personalities/Cocona being Mimi and Papika being sort of trapped in a loop where she is repeating her original relationship with the person unknowingly, I would like it a fair bit more than the more obvious but less interesting Gendo/Yui ripoff
>>
>>150131557
Was it? I didn't notice, I was too busy being reminded of Haruhi.

Pretty sure it was Hidaka's PI with that new models suck line. Nigga's into old school mechas.

It's definitely OtR, a neat little detail.

We also learned that the fragments are an extraneous element to PI and only corrupt (consume?) the worlds they land in. Why are they suddenly appearing all over PIs? That's backstory material for ep 10 or 11 probably

It was ok.

That and mecha references.

>>150131187
PIs are more like ideas then people according to Hidaka, so it's probably Hidaka's conception of Buu.

That's...Cocona with Papimouto's hairstyle, huh?

I guess that confirms that all those Papika's are reflections of Cocona('s feelings).

Well, they entered the PI by slamming onto Bu-chan in the pool so it belonging to both Bu-chan and Hidaka (the latter represented by the scientist) seems likely.

>>150131985
It would make for a nice bit of symbolism if it turns out to be the case, with Papika "leading" Cocona into the house where the witch resides (taking her on the journey to rediscovering her lost identity), thus creating a rift in their understanding/relationship with each other, and Cocona finally resolving to be simply herself rather than anything imposed over her, thus throwing the witch away and reuniting with Papika.

It would only work -really- well if what I said here >>150131619 turns out to be the case, which is still up in the air. If it turns out it's all just a mother-daughter thing with obscured motives then the idea kinda disperses and I dunno where they could go with that other than generic "beat the KKK because ur SPECIAL"

>>150132061
Hidaka is the Great White Creator and his city (which is a literal brain) is his most precious invention (=Buu)

Going back to 6, that world could also be Iroha's relationship with her craft or a particular painting. The direct memories they accesed through the door doesn't have to be of the same nature as the usual PI which seems more like an abstract representative layer that exists between reality and the subconscious (so you can access someone's mind from PI, but PI itself is not someone's mind)

Mimi was holding a child and the Child could be Cocona...I think the twins are more rei like.

Something like that. I wasn't thinking about it enough, but it's clearly Hidaka with the way everything is set up. Hidaka's work is his art, which is why Cocona thinks about Iroha's painting.

Kind of a bland episode unfortunately. Just "we go into Tron world and fight the giant robot." And practically all the conversations were expository.

This show has really taken a nose dive in quality after episode 6.
>>
>>150132467
This is my idea >>150131619 >>150132083

I think at this point it's pretty likely either of the two cases:
-Mimi is Cocona's mom and Papika is some sort of ageless being who was friends with Mimi and her resurfacing memories due to the fragment are making her confuse reality
-Mimi and Cocona are actually the same being/two parts of the same being/some other split personality shenanigans and Papika is literally remembering that 'Cocona' is also 'Mimi' which will create an identity conflict for Cocona (who has been basing a lot of her newfound self-worth around Papika's comfort and assuredness in her)

I somewhat agree. Despite having a lot of great aspects (Pops, super robot with the IN song, Yayaka bullying, etc.), it felt like there was something missing. A lot of style and not much substance, especially with how previous episodes were chock full of themes and imagery to analyze. Maybe I missed all of it. It was a fun episode but even with all the service, I don't think it measures up to the previous episodes.

At least this episode will help get the ball rolling since it's likely that Yayaka's aide here is what will get her replaced in KKK and we'll begin to learn about Mimi now that it's out in the open.

This might be an episode that is better appreciated after the show is finished. I agree that there isn't much to chew on compared to previous episodes.

Despite not being a big mecha fan, I still enjoyed the hell out of this episode.

There was symbolism hinting at it, that doesn't mean she's actually suicidal though, it's more like a general direction of her mental state.

I mean if your idea of substance is things that reveal bits of plot in a fictional universe then you are very easy to please or your definition of the word substance doesn't match with how most people use it in most contexts

this is why the style vs substance dichotomy is pure garbage when it comes to talking about art. i'd even take the form vs content talk before it, but only if the people using it understand 'content' in a broad enough sense because otherwise it's still talking about nothing

Yeah, Yayaka probably has do to most work to get them back together (at least i hope this will happen)
I guess she will have a talk with Cocona about how her feelings are genuine even if the situation was forced and probably will have an actual fight with Papika to make her understand the situation.

If we aren't lucky Cocona and Yayaka will leave all this KKK/Flip Flappers buisness, fuck up both their plans and we get a sad looking Papika while they are leaving. This would probably break me.

How the hell did this series get the go ahead for an animated series, of such quality, without a proven publication, ensuring profitability for the studio and investors? For all we know, the show would have flopped hard and be bad for all those involved.

Style and Substance are not buzzwords. Style refers to animation, one-liners, aesthetics, visual puns, anything that can be appreciated regardless of context. Substance is the parts that only make sense within/ help drive the narrative.

Substance:

Ep 2
>dangers of PIs are revealed by the adventure
>PI helps ppk realize fl/fl's mortality and she becomes sympathetic to ccn
>ccn sympathizes with the fun they had

Ep 3
>ccn's desire for relevance conveyed by her actions and dialogue with the baddie
>ppk's chaotic good nature revealed through her helping the villagers
>fl/fl's disharmony demonstrated by their starting locations
>kkk reveal as neutral evil

I could go on, but I trust you see it now

obviously a geass reference
>>
>>150133930
she drew a comparison between Iroha's painting and Pops' city as both were creations precious to their makers

Cocona destroyed Iroha's paintings, metaphorically by making her not care about it anymore, so she was afraid of doing the same thing to other people in other PIs. but she saw this episode that she can also protect them from the fragments' corrupting influence, so she finally found a positive sense of purpose from her excursions to PI
>>
>all the pervy stuff feels out of place in FliFla

>the PI was technology-based, and some emphasis goes to the cramped spaces, which is something Sayuri complained about in Hidaka's workspace. Hidaka's chuuni is also reflected well in Pops
>CCN and PPK entered the PI by landing on Buu-chan in the pool. The world had a brain-like texture to it. He was also completely absent during the PI portion of the episode. And then he exploded for no reason at the end.

See your problem is that animation and aesthetics ARE the substance of a work like this. The narrative isn't some god everything should serve towards lest it be discarded as superfluous eye candy (which is what 'style' implicitly judges when used in this way). Poets have made entire careers on their 'style' regardless of their subject, not to mention everyone in the visual arts.

Form vs Content at least makes it easier to realize that narrative is just another kind of form, while content (i.e. the ideas) has to be found and judged holistically on the strengths of a piece's use of its medium.

Hidaka. People probably don't change unless they mess with their gates. Sayuri's behavior fits what we have seen so far. She's like a big sister, Sweet but strict when necessary. She's living with a manchild, a pervert roboto and a puppy after all.

PI don't belong to single individuals, they're idea worlds based on subject interrelationships. They affect everything.

Except the faction conflict wasn't introduced in this episode. We've known Yayaka is at ends with the KKK previously and this episode reinforced it.

Iroha's PI helped hammer home the point of how dangerous the other world actually is; Hidaka's showed Cocona gaining the resolve to battle in PI despite that, which is a development that could have been done better in any scenario. There was nothing in this PI that was integral.

>>150133475
References, sure. Flashman, Golden Boy, etc., those are fun but ultimately without meaning. Hansel and Gretel, The Thinker (and the Gates of Hell), and so on contribute to the atmosphere of the show itself. They might end up meaningless in the end depending on how everything plays out but so far, a lot of what we've seen relates to the themes throughout the episodes.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the episode immensely. I absolutely love super robot and most of the service we're getting but I'm looking for something more palpable than simply what we're seeing on screen. There needs to be more showing, less telling.

I'm of the opinion that PI don't exist within someone but instead are created based off the interactions between other individuals. So the PI was structured after Bu and the monsters where possibly damage from water or whatever, but Hidaka sort of created Pops and Sayuri's negative attitude sort of influenced the monsters. Presumably the PI opened after their fight which explains the sudden conflict and after the they obtained the fragment their relationship improved.

Basically what I'm trying to say is that PI doesn't exists inside one individual but instead along side other individuals. Its all three of their PI's
>>
>>150134233
That's what 99% of anime originals are nowadays though.
They almost never make much money, unlike you are Madoka at best you will probably break about even, and are only really there to advertise the studio.

For a studio to be able to produce an original and not have it end up a disaster shows investors and potential business partners that their projects are save with them. It's a passion project in the sense that they need a shitload of passion and competency to be able to pull it off.

A style that is consistent can also be substantive because the narrative must adapt to the style. That doesn't mean you can dismiss style. The animation is both style and substance- the plot dictates that unique animation must occur but the animation can be appreciated regardless of the plot. The visual pun of the size of the doctor vs. the girls was style as it hasn't been consistent throughout the plot.

What's prententiousness is writing text walls over how despite enjoying the episode, you still think it's shit because "muh style over substance". And complaining about it in a show that relies on it's style a lot. Yes, there's usually a lot of substance hidden under the style. But complaining that an episode is shit because there's not enough substance for you (even when it has enough interesting bits) is retarded
>>150134614
Yes. A retard who complains there should be more showing and less telling, when I don't know when this episode did any kind of "telling" instead of showing
Being an attention whore (no other reason for constantly tripfagging in every thread) just adds a lot of insult to the injury

>>150134578
>I hope they die because yayaka isn't around
They need to die at the hands of Yayaka, Papika, and Cocona. Having some random monster kill them because Yayaka isn't with them isn't good enough.
>>
>>150134446
A character introduced so late into the story has to have some sort of role to be remotely worth it, especially because KKK was shown to be doubtful of YYK all along, so if they had a better replacement at any time they would've switched her out. That it's only happened now might mean something
>>
Why Yapico boy was so much stronger than Papiking?
>>
>>150134802
She's Kaworu.
>>
>>150134807
because Yayaka's not a scrub like CocoPapi and she doesn't fuck around.

Why? I really like them, both are cool and funny. They're the best characters around right after the main 3.

Pretty much. The world was boring as fuck too. At the start you saw this big neon cityscape but then they were pretty much just fighting on top of a bunch of black cubes with red outlines.

Lack of Studio Pablo really hurts their visual style. It's like they had a vague idea of what the world should look like but no way of making it actually look good.
>>
>>150134721
There was no showing or telling in this episode because it had nothing of importance. Except for it being Hidaka and Bu, which was shoved in the viewers face.
>>
>yapico boy
i don't know why but i fucking lost it

amazing episode
>>
>>150134893
Me too. It's Yayaka's unenthusiastic way of saying it that made it hilarious.
>>
>>150134869
the concept behind the world and Pops were more interesting than the actual visual world where the events occurred, which is a decent compromise but still a compromise and worse than Pablo Pablo'ing it up like in previous eps
>>
>>150134878

Yayaka is one lesbian kiss away from changing sides, this was the first episode they really fought side by side and not against each other.

She has significance for sure. They wouldn't show her in the OP in such an ominous fashion otherwise.
>>
>>150134878
We learned more about the workings behind the fragments
We saw Cocona get her resolve back and find a purpose unique to her, rather than merely following Papika
We saw Yayaka's faction struggle finally come to a head and it doubled as decent character interaction for her in the episode

Besides, Pops is important. Respect Pops.

But the reason she joined the KKK in the first place was to get that kissu though.

I didn't mean she's literally Kaworu, just that she might be analogous in terms of role (i.e. 'character introduced late who turns out to be important to the story').

How about Yayaka's conflicting loyalty resulting in her unambigously helping Cocona and Yayaka but still trying to justify herself to remain in KKK, and the fact the twins'll report Yayaka's actions and thus, get her fired from KKK?
Or Papika calling Cocona Mimi?
Or Cocona finally getting some initiative instead of following Papika?
Or the absolutely cool pure classic gattai super robot vs kaijuu fight with an absolutely great insert song?

I love this trope of introducing a major character late into the story to shake things up. If she turns out to be the most evil character yet it'll be even more refreshing.

Yeah, me

Last episode, Cocona told her about what happened with Iroha-senpai and was blaming herself over it. Yayaka had been worried about her.

>>150135118
I'd like it if she's more ruthless/chaotic neutral than evil. Like an antagonistic Papika.

Was it just me or did this whole episode feel like something out of the early 90s?

Not just the obvious super robo references, but even the scenes around the pool felt reminiscent of that old style of directing

This whole show feels like it could've easily come out in like 2006 aside from some visual digital things

Shit ep6 was essentially a Doremi scenario, just played out within the rules of Flifla's setting.

To me it felt like an OVA special. Definitely a turn down in quality, but that's due to pretty much a completely different staff doing this episode.

They make her overall color scheme, when in full PI garb, match a swallowtail butterfly.

It's a huge hint that Yayaka is going to swtich sides.

It's never a single person. Rewatch episode 7 and listen to what Hidaka says. PI is about relationships between people/objects

Nothing in that episode indicated that.

Duh. As if Welwitschia wasn’t making that point already. Or heck, even the monsters rushing towards the fragment in episode 1.

Pops already had his city built before a fragment landed on it and started spawning monsters.

>>150135390
Did you even watch the episode?
Someday it just appeared and the monsters started spawning. Pops explained it clearly to everyone.
>>
>>150135446

That doesn’t say the fragment wasn’t part of the world before. Just that it was somewhere different inside that world.
