I l type just like that, except I use the middle finger on my left hand and the index on my right. I dislike full-finger touch typing because moving ring and pinky fingers quickly is uncomfortable and their range of motion is awkwardly limiting.

If I was, then the wrist motion necessary to type like this would probably be impossible.

I prefer it because I have nerve damage in my right hand that makes precise finger movements impossible. It doesn't limit motion in my wrist or arm, so I use those primarily to accurately guide my finger to the keys. My left hand has no such injury but it's awkward using 4 fingers with one hand and 1 with the other, so I just use the middle finger to keep my typing pace symmetrical.

I think I'm starting to see a trend with the threads now that we're at episode 9. Wednesday is the day people build up their excitement for a new episode and the reposters get antsy. The threads are at their best when the episode is fresh in the minds of the viewers and there is enough fuel for interesting discussion(Thursdays-Friday maybe Saturday). Of course those threads still have shitposts of a different nature, but it's not as saturated as it is in threads later into the weekend and before the next episode.

It really depends. Sometimes the stuff going on in a given episode takes some time and a rewatch or 2 to parse. We've had weeks where wednesday night explodes into a series of text walls analyzing new insights and discussing interpretations of fresh observations, and we've also had weeks where that doesn't happen. It can be unpredictable how much discussion an episode gets and how long it takes to really get going. Episode 6 didn't have much discussion until after episode 7 aired, because you really need those two together to make more sense of things.

This gem cropped up last night, apparently. I;m liking how being 8 episodes down the rabbithole now gives us a chance to revisit some of the theories and speculation we had in the earlier episodes and position them in the wider context of the show now that we know so much more.

I like the bit about Papika being an inner child rather than aunt flo or an idealized yuri love interest. It makes me think of the dynamic between Yayaka and papika as one of a tug-o-war between contrary forces, with Yayaka representing a sort of emergence into young adulthood and Papika representing the childish state preceding it. Cocona is caught in between them, sort of like how she's caught in between being a kid and being an adult.

The whole idea that the underlying theme is about change and Cocona's fear of it is more interesting to me than a lot of the previous speculah about masturbation and menses, and I like how it connects the themes of the earlier episodes to some of the heavier stuff the recent ones have been dealing with.

A well executed bittersweet ending would really make this show memorable.
I'm trying not to lift my expectations too high though.
>>
>>150382045
With all the stuff about Iroha fromt he last 3 episodes, I think we're going towards a sort of "have your cake and eat it too" kind of ending. Cocona will get over her anxiety, come out of her shell, but still continue having fun adventures with Papika because getting something new doesn't mean losing what you had before. I'm expecting the epilogue to include her finally deciding on which highschool to apply to before going off to play with Papika.

It'd be more memorable if it ends in some sort of left field unexpected way. Bittersweet ending is about as typical as it could get, even though I wouldn't complain if it's executed well

This right here is where I lean too. Coming of age stories tend to be just as much about what you give up when you grow up. But what if we focus instead on the fact that adulthood doesn't mean giving up who you are or what you love? Yes there are changes but we grow with those changes and can still love the same things along with new things that come with adulthood.

It's partially due to me just being a shipperfag but I don't really feel a bittersweet ending would work too well. This show has, aside from individual episodes tugging on heartstrings (with iroha) been generally very upbeat with how it's treated our main characters. Honestly if one show could pull a pure GOOD END and do it well it would be this show.
>>
>>150381989
All this stuff is a vehicle for Cocona to grow up. By the end with or without Papika, the magic will disappear and she'll become a confident lady and a respectabl member of society minus being a lesbian.
>>
>>150382357
How on earth could you want this to disappear at the end. Papika is too pure for the world.
>>
>>150382388
Why do you want to ruin all of Cocona's development?
>>
>>150382385
It's also hard to see any character growth which "grows" Papika out of Cocona's life as being a positive one. I thinka stay-together ending would just work better in making the tone and emotional resonance of the finale better fit the message

Exactly. Papika has been a massively positive influence on Cocona's life for sure but why does the final stage of her growth due to Papika necessarily entail them separating? Cocona's growth isn't predicated on Papika being around but more is a result. You can see that in the most recent episode.

Additionally, part of Cocona's growth is learning to be close to people. She was, outside of Yayaka, basically a recluse at the beginning. Papika has shown her how to be friends with (and even come to love, possibly romantically) another person. To then strip that away wouldn't be a capstone on growth but would more just be straight cruel.

Aside from two parapgrahs and 3 goddamn linebreaks of throat-clearing, the actual article isn't too bad. The prose isn't pretentious and the argument is fairly reasonable as far as this sort of subject matter is concerned. In fact, I'm fairly certain I've seen similar angles argued here after episode 7 aired. The author just framed it in terms of the perspective of a western LGBBQ instead of the actual context it's situated in, which I suppose is reasonable considering it's probably the author's own perspective. Framing the show in terms of a gay girl learning that she's gay is something we've been doing pretty much since episode 1, anyways.

I will never understand the feelings of an america queer.

If I wanted to, I could have gay sex in a public park RIGHT NOW and the biggest reaction I could get would be a stranger offering us a blanket.

In my world queers can do wahtever the fuck they want, no one cares, and then I read shit like this and I wonder just how much of a shithole america has to be to foster these kinds of people.

That scene hadn't stood out to me much while watching but it makes sense in hindsight. It's one of those clever moments that can work on multiple registers, since the yuri angle works particularly for Cocona who's observing the memory while also working on the level of revealing some insight to Iroha's character.

I'm pretty sure that scene isn't trying to tell us that Iroha is gay, but I think it's interesting that the scene tells the audience different things depending on whether you consider Iroha the one that it's being told to or Cocona.

America fosters an attitude that you can say whatever you want as long as you pretend that it's hard to say and that it's being spoken as a victim. It makes you strong and morally virtuous to stand up and shout your hot opinion like it's the goddamn french revolution in 8 paragraphs.

It's not that the US is a bad place to be gay, but it's a great place to spout identity politics for attention because you're given a soapbox and an audience just by being self-righteous about who you are.

>>150383706
It's not really. In America, lots of people build their identity on who has it the worst. They actually have at times tried to codify it rather than letting it just stay the unspoken rule-- look up the "progressive stack."

You might get a couple of old people or really devout protestants giving you some shit for being a homo, but by and large you'd actually be praised for it-- talked up for being so "brave" and "honest" for being out despite it not really being a risk at all. They make it into a fucking spectacle, and the people who immerse themselves in it are the worst fucking people I have ever known.

I really like FF's treatment of this subject matter. We very rarely see disapproval from anyone on the outside, because this isn't about them. It's a personal story about the characters themselves, and how they cope. Society as a whole has no say.

>Either way, Flip Flappers nails the anxiety, guilt, and fear that one feels when confronted with the fact that they are not heterosexual as much as society - and perhaps themselves - wants them to be.
This seems wrong. I never got the feeling the social aspect of discovering oneself to be gay is explored at all in this series, at least not with Cocona if you accept the interpretation that Iroha's "aunt" was. I feel like Cocona is just clumsily and gradually discovering her sexuality at all, that it's with another girl doesn't seem to matter. Maybe you can see her defaulting to "You mean [love you] as a friend?" in episode 7 that way, but I saw it more as her not knowing whether her feeling was romantic love in general.

>>
>>150384281
Really I think you could easily replace Papika with a guy and the story would stay the same (not that I'd want that really.) Cocona isn't necessarily coming to terms with her being gay or not so much as she's coming to terms with getting close to another person. At the beginning she was coming to grips with trusting someone else ore relying on them or letting other people rely and sacrifice for you. Ultimately that lead to her friendship with Papika. Now she's struggling with the fact that her feelings go beyond simple friendship. Love is a daunting feeling for one who has never felt it before.
>>
>>150384111
>who has it the worst.
Also, who is most oppressed is completely arbitrary. I really hate to get political here, but right now, Muslims are at the bottom (or top?) of the oppression pyramid. So it doesn't matter if they want to murder jews, throw gays off of roofs, and blow everyone else to kingdom come, they still get a pass.

I'm not talking in terms of groups, or letting the sins of the collective stain individuals. Very often muslims, even clerics and other leaders, who have expressly said those things get a pass, and are praised for being... whatever they are... in spite of it.

I'm also not sure about the fact that she seems to have a baby in her hand ...wait..doesn't she and that hiding guy kinda look like Cocona?
>>
>>150384281
I think that line was meaning to get at the fact that she's aware there's a normal and that she doesn't align with it. Not so much that she's resisting the influence of society or is facing the social implications of her identity, but the author is taking for granted the idea that Cocona's conception of normality is socially prescribed. He's also making the assumption that abnormality here necessarily means "Oh my god I'm a fucking faggot drown me in sloppy wet Papiflaps" when it could just as easily be the generalized insecurity of an introverted young teenager. I suppose the gay angle is the whole point of the article, but it still reeks of projecting their own feelings onto the work rather than observing and drawing insight from it.

>>
>>150384437
I really don't think you could replace Papika with a dude. Why would Cocona be hesitant if she was falling for a male? Why would she not like to be seen in public with Papika acting like that?

And, it's not like it hasn't at least hinted at some wider themes, with Iroha and her aunt.

If they do bring society into it, give it the "context" (read: attention-seeking) westerners so crave, I hope they at least don't handle it in our typical ham-fisted way, where anyone who's anything less than completely in favor of it, even if they just don't think they're right for each other, is a bigot.

>>150384597
What? No. She totally is-- she was unmarried (evidenced by the lack of a shrine to him in the home, despite being otherwise traditionally furnished). What really convinced me was how people would talk about her behind her back. She's an outsider, where typically old women are seen as dear old mothers or whatever. Now, she's not weird, she's actually really nice, and she was a school teacher, so she should at least have some past students around who check in on her-- so what about her could have them gossiping so?

Problem with this theory is that to the extent that Papika is childlike and unchanging, we pretty much know the reason: Because her memories are suppressed.

As she regains her memories Papika is likely to change in to a more mature version of herself. Cocona's acceptance of this more mature (but still playful) Papika is a better way of highlighting her journey to adulthood then literally killing off her inner child.

>>
>>150386852
I do think it's interesting to consider Papika as an element of Cocona's subconscious that has "broken free" as a result of her anxiety towards the future. Even the first scene of the first episode seems to suggest this in the way its composed. Papika's "escape" follows immediately after Cocona's scene in the exam practice, which is inundated with images of time. We see Papika race down a long, winding tunnel that's distorted by perspective and lighting to appear soft, bulbous and almost fleshy (Papika being associated with soft circle is a motif that appears frequently throughout the series), followed by an image of shattering glass and Papika bursting out of the tunnel, breaking free of the myriad spindly appendages of pursuing robots and escaping into the night.

The scene works very well as a reflection of Cocona's subconscious facing the stress of the practice exam and the looming future it represents. The shot of Papika breaking free is immediately followed by Cocona looking out the window and seeing the twinkling of shattered glass on the horizon following the wake of Papika's escape. The comparison between the two events (exam and escape) is drawn pretty plainly.

It wouldn't be so bad if they were being used to the service of advancing some cogent argument, but it's basically just a list of "this is X, the series likes to use Y, Z is important because it ABs the CDs which in turn goes back to X: the EF of GH."

It's structured to insert as many technical terms as possible in matter-of-fact statements which are addressed to no scene or example in particular. It got particularly bad when he moved to make an example out of that scene with Cocona Papika and Yayaka all standing in the school roof/park thing and after blathering about subverting hierarchies for 2 minutes, then when on to use an example of "Yayaka is positioned slightly higher in this scene" which wasn't related to anything he'd just said. Even understanding those terms, I got nothing out of that masturbatory ball of prose except that Flip Flappers uses a lot of shots where the characters are aligned in a single 2D midground but occasionally uses shots where they aren't.

I got the impression they were trying to insert some resume of credible film critique knowledge by listing terminology, and it seems as though they don't actually have any arguments in favour of the thesis of the video beyond "look at how many big words I know. You should take my opinion at face value because I clearly know what I'm talking about."

>I got the impression they were trying to insert some resume of credible film critique knowledge by listing terminology

A thousand times this. It's a nice simple story about two people falling in love and learning to deal with those emotions, with growing up.

Unfortunately people feel they need to couch their arguments in academic language, as you said it makes them sound credible.

Besides who wants to admit they watch a yuri show for the fan service and psychedelic colors. They always have to try and elevate the medium at the expense of the best parts
>>
>>150389081
Yeah that is what I mean, its like "nice observations and all but whats the argument they are building towards because you have been making examples for about 5 minutes now without telling us what point they are in support of or explaining what importance it really has".

It is like basic argument building you get taught when you are 12, make your point, give some examples to support your point from the media, explain how those examples support your point.

I think one of the worst things about it is the way they just keep throwing those academic terms out there without breaking them down to be honest. If you ever listen to podcasts with an academic bent aimed for a populist audience when a more complex idea has to be employed they tend to at least explain it first rather than assuming their entire audience is aware. Failing to do that is just going to lose anyone who didn't get it straight away regardless of the quality or lack of quality of your argument otherwise. It is almost as if it is being opaque on purpose to be honest perhaps indeed to sound authoritative as you have suggested. It feels to me more like "look how intelligent I am" than "here is something really interesting about this show I want to communicate to a wider audience".

one of the things that the film school wankfest above got right is the way the series grabs its audience and forces them to think about what they are seeing on-screen.

Which is why its so strange that the staff would tweet things like "feel, don't think"

Maybe the tweet was a joke, or maybe everything we've seen in FliFla so far is all a huge accident or illusion

All the symbolism and crazy PI adventures are just to service the characters and their feelings. You should pay attention but only insofar as it helps you better relate to their feelings and struggles.

The show is to much fun to just spend your time in cold analysis

The bulk of Crunchyroll's features are low-effort shit like "The locations of...", "check out this show from our back catalog", "cooking with anime" or "let's compare this to the source material".

It's not surprising that the writers that want more tend to gravitate to Flip Flappers since that's a show you can say something about if nothing else, not just ANN-style "Yuri on Ice is really gay you guys, and you're completely correct for liking it".

A bunch of extras, I guess. It's listed on the website but I don't speak moon and can't parse google translate. It does say the extras included in the limited special edition are subject to change without notice, though.

Crunchyroll is more interested in showcasing stuff that people aren't watching already for obvious reasons.
ANN is always just trying to tell their users that the stuff they like is super great, also for obvious reasons.

Basically it's a version to donate more to 3hz.

I guess if you don't really mind what the extras are and just want to support the show more and can afford to do that it is worth it anyway. I could probably just about afford the cheaper version though so quite tempted to get that.

>>150384278
It's the previous "Cocona". Either Cocona is a clone of her, vice versa, or Cocona will wind up like that girl and Papika will find a new adventure partner.

That's right, my little c-word. One day, you'll be Aunty's little senpai.

>>150395133
This.

People in the west are obsessed with making sure our beliefs are consistent with our behavior. Which is fine, hypocrisy can be annoying.

But it also means we have to suppress or rationalize things that conflict with it, whereas they can be totally comfortable with their dual natures. "I am a rich, stoic businessman. I am ruthless in the boardroom, and even more-so in the bedroom. I also like to watch TV shows about grade school girls with the kind of strong mutual friendships I wish I could experience."

Their approach seems a lot more consistent with human nature.

The nips actually have a word for it but I can't remember. It was the thing where you have one way you act in on the outside, and then your internal feelings which you keep hidden.

>>150396820
Yeah, if used for bad things. There's other types of moral principles against that.

You don't go around telling people all your sexual fetishes right? They're kind of an isolated part of yourself you never look at, and only bring out when it's "safe."

In a way, they fully embrace their unavoidable duplicity, where we just kind of pretend it doesn't exist.
>>
Pardon me if I'm a slowpoke on this, I haven't been keeping up with the threads, but I had a theory about the most recent Pure Illusion. From how obvious it seemed to me once realizing it everyone probably already figured it out and I just haven't been in the threads to see the discussion, in which case feel free to point at me and laugh for informing everyone that the Earth orbits the Sun in 2016. Episode 8 seems to be an obvious example, like episodes 2 and 6, of a Pure Illusion corresponding to a specific character in the show. Throughout the episode it seems clear who this character is: everything in the PI seems to parallel Hidaka in the real world. From the confined, messy workspace, the general obsessive creative geekiness, the sensory deprivation chambers for Cocona and Papika to get into, and even the way Hidaka and Pops say "eempiidahnce," it seems a pretty 1:1 comparison. But there are some additional pieces of evidence that suggest otherwise. Continued in another post because I can't into brevity.
>>
>>150396980
Notice how at the beginning of the episode Bu-chan is at the bottom of the pool gaping at the swimming schoolgirls, and how Cocona and Papika fall into the pool directly on top of Bu-chan, at which point the portal to Pure Illusion swallows them up in a vortex leading to the bottom of the pool where Bu just was. Also notice how Bu-chan is repeatedly shown to be a brain inside of a machine, and that the Pure Illusion takes place on a brain-shaped planet (the brain-planet is also heavily scarred and damaged at the end of the PI sequence, following which Hidaka finds Bu a smoking husk in need of immediate repair). At first I thought this was just a metaphor for Hidaka's braininess, as it and other aspects of the pure illusion seem to fit his character personally. But then also notice how Hidaka and Bu-chan are often compared to each other, such as both celebrating the coming of the Singularity in episode 7, and how Bu-chan seems to be one of the few characters who goes along with and shares Hidaka's enthusiasms, in his pantomimed, eye-kanji way. The fact that Pops is almost literally a mini-Hidaka further points to this conclusion. I believe that Bu-chan is Hidaka's sibling, perhaps twin, perhaps little brother, whose brain is sustained in his conical robot shell. One might claim that Bu-chan is actually a copy or reproduction of of Hidaka's mind based on Hidaka's line at the end where he says "I'm running low on replacement stocks, too," but it seems far more likely that he's merely talking about the robotic unit containing Bu-chan's brain than actually having multiple Bu-chans/copies of himself, as the engineering of this show seems to be primarily mechanical, and him having multiple copied physical brains doesn't fit with that. I suspect it will likely be seen in the next few episodes Bu and Hidaka's true connection, and how Bu-chan came to be a brain in a strange little robot body.

Since you guys were cool enough to post it, here's my (probably somewhat questionable) translation:

>When the fragments suddenly started shining. that name came out of Papika's mouth:
>Mimi.
>Who is that?!
>Holding on to the [something I can't make out] of those tiny feelings,
>Papika and I fall into a new Pure Illusion.
>Wait, Papika! Don't go on your own!
>Yayaka and company appear also, and all five of us compete to find the fragment
>In the midst of all this, I get caught in the fragment's defense trap!
>Next time, Flip Flappers Episode 9: Pure Mute
>Look forward to it!

I don't think it's necessary to require that a PI has to be based on one person and one person only. Ep 8's can simply be based on both Hidaka and Bu, without requiring them to be this closely related - the fact that Hidaka maintains Bu and probably built him already makes them close enough to share a "headspace", no matter what the exact nature of Bu's brain is.
>>
>>150397507
Also I think the point was that the "city" was bu and the creator of the city was Hadaka. In other words, the scientist guy stood in the same relation to his city as Hadaka does to Bu. Bu his masterpiece

The reason why elements of both Bu-chan and Hidaka are present in the same PI was explained in Ep7. You even posted a screenshot of it.

Pure illusions are not born from specific people, they are born from the relationships between people and/or other creatures and objects.

I got that impression from the moment I watched the episode. Something seemed off about her explanation that she got fired as a schoolteacher for being "too old," and as >>150384786 said just being alone isn't reason enough to explain society's apparent rejection of her, especially since it seems they had the same suspicion and mild disgust of her even before she started babysitting Iroha.

We don't know enough about PI mechanics to make this call, and we've gone through this.
Yes, Pops is clearly related to Hidaka, but that doesn't mean we are in Hidaka's head; it may just be how Bu-chan sees Hidaka. The world itself is clearly based on Bu-chan, but that doesn't mean we are in Bu's head, it may just be how Hidaka sees Bu.

At the present, it's safest to assume what >>150397571 says - ep 8 is based on the relationship between the both, just like ep 2 was based on the relationship between Uexkull and Cocona, and ep 6's surface world was based on Iroha's art (which is itself an expression of her relationship with Granny). Only "deep" PIs are clearly based on a person's memory, and even there we have a sample size of one.

PIs like 1 and 3 are clearly based on Cocona's general outlook on life, while 7 is based on Cocona's relationship with Papika, as might 5.
>>
>>150397616
Except those things actually happen.
When someone gets too old, they're "encouraged" strongly to retire from work, because geriatrics are a liability to their workplace. She was old to the point where the school board became worried she might have a medical episode during class and pushed her to retire. It's very likely she was pushed to it after being diagnosed with the illness that was killing her when she met Iroha. She was a subject of gossip because she was a retired geriatric fossil living alone and waiting to die. Those people don't typically get much respect. They're just corporate leftovers rotting in the eaves troughs of suburban society, no longer able to contribute meaningfully and lacking purpose in life or loved ones to connect with and be supported by.

Being unmarried at such an age could certainly play a part in their perception of her, but it's by no means the alpha and omega of everything we learn about Auntie, not should your automatic assumption be that she was unmarried because she was a lesbian, and hated because everyone assumed she was a lesbian. That's a stretch.
>>
>>150397771
The point is just that she was "weird", and people clearly thought she was. Her sexual orientation might or might not be the reason, but it doesn't matter.

So Aunty was Clint eastwood in Gran Torino?
>>
>>150397571
I think you might actually be right now that you mention that. That would also fit in with episode 3 being Uexull's interrelation with the vacuum or his environment/umwelt more generally, and episode 6 being Iroha's relation to Aunty. I've also thought that episode 3 has some connection to Yayaka, given the visual similarities between the witch and Yayaka (same hair and highlight color) and the witch's owning the sexuality of her blue and pink-haired gimp slaves. I also thought the way the Mad Max robots raided the innocent desert world paralleled the way Yayaka, Toto, and Yuyu mercilessly scoured and raped the virgin worlds of Pure Illusion for the amorphous. If this interpretation is correct, it would seem that episode 3 would be largely based on Yayaka's interrelation with Cocona and Papika romantically and sexually, and how she wants to control their romance and sexuality that she has observed by then to keep Cocona to herself, and also her relation with what the KKK are having her do, and her guilt over it that seems to be latently present from the beginning. Taking this mode of analysis, what the other PIs represent or reify can probably be better determined (episode 1 being Cocona's relationship with the world around her and its expectations of her etc.)

As Salto says, it's all about "friction". Deep PIs are a person, regular PIs are about interactions (likely of that person).

The thing is just that "relationship" is such a vague term that you can apply it to any two things.

>>150398014
>episode 3 being Uexull's interrelation with the vacuum or his environment/umwelt more generally

Nah, it's more likely Uexkull and Cocona, with the vacuum lending flavor. Cocona wants a dashing hero to save her, and Uexkull wants to be a dashing hero protecting his owner.

Uexkull doesn't matter as a character. It has no identity, agency or affect. Episode 2's PI was about Cocona and her body. The only reason Uexkull was significant to it is because rabbits typically represent fertility and episode 2's PI was loaded with fertility imagery.
>>
>>150398061
What are they doing? Yayaka wears a ribbon instead of Cocona's ball hair clip so this is not from the swimming pool scene.
>>
>>150398243
Uexkull is depicted as your archetypal sapient but mute anime creature, him being a TTGL hunk is just as much his fantasy/self-perception as it is Cocona's fantasy.
>>
>>150397433

>Holding on to the [something I can't make out] of those tiny feelings,

小さな気持ちのすれ違うよかかえたまま。。。

I think I figured it out, the part I missed. Not that anyone probably cares too much about the exact wording of the fucking preview, but it's something like:

"While holding on to that small feeling of disagreement/not being on the same page, Papika and I fall into a new Pure Illusion"

I wasn't familiar with the term すれ違う before but it means to disagree, to miss each other, or to pass by one another.
>>
>>150398243
>>150398334

It can be both or more, PI is basically an excuse for the creators to put in anything they want. In the widest sense, PI is just a metaphorical space for anything - an expression of conceptual creativity.
>>
>>150398438
That's quite clever in a meta way, PI is basically "metaphorical writing made real".
>>
>>150398493
When you've read more books you'll realize that all fiction is "metaphorical writing made real"
>>
>>150397433

Do you remember the last time you were this hype for a show?
>>
>>150398014
The most interesting feature of Ep3 which no-one seems to mention are the two worlds, which can be seen to represent the two faces Yayaka must show towards Cocona depending on whether she is at school or working for the KKK. Alternatively one is her relationship with Cocona while the other is her relationship with the cult.

When working for the KKK, Yayaka's relationship with the KKK, Cocona, and Papika is cold, heartless, and thorny, as represented by the Iron Boys planet. The mother and child we see there is a hint that she is still very human under all the spikes and still cares for Cocona.

The desert planet depicts her relationship with Cocona at other times. There's some warmth and coziness in the Starhead villager's homes and lifestyle, but overall it is as parched and thirsty as Yayaka's love for Cocona. In fact Yayaka probably denied herself a chance at romance because she didn't want Cocona to get mixed up with or learn about the KKK, which gives us another perspective on the Iron-boy's raiding party as they originate from Yayaka's "KKK-world" and steal the life from her normal world.

tl:dr the two worlds nature of ep3's PI is the most Yayaka thing about it.
>>
>>150398875
Mayoiga, but the hype was unsubstantiated
>>
>>150398918
I mean, back when we all had survivor squads picked out it was pretty hype.
>>
>>150398878
The thing with that interpretation is just... It hinges on Yayaka being DEEPLY in love with Cocona. Which, outside of a ton of fanart, we don't have much indication for - yet.
>>
>>150398875
Symphogear
>>
>>150398968
And the planet duality works much between as a reflection of Cocona since it's between a barren desert (repressed) and a spiky ball of vice and violence (eg. what happened when Cocona was under the influence of the mask).

Inserting Yayaka into that paradigm when she was barely a character by episode 3 just seems shoehorned.
>>
>>150398397
>discord
But anyway why speculate if you can just wait for 8 hours.
>>
>>150398878
One issue I see with this is that Welwitschia is an Amorphous, and episode 8 tells us that these are not "natural" features of the world (even though they are themed after it). They only start cropping up once fragments land. This makes Welwitschia being a standin for Yayaka the same way that Pops is a standin for Hidaka rather unlikely.
>>
>>150398878
Oh, the two worlds... I had known there were two worlds, and the gray world was where the Road Warrior bandits came from, but I didn't think to connect them to Yayaka or Cocona.

Yes, it's pretty obvious that that world has had a lot of influence from Yayaka. Though whether the desert world is Cocona... I don't know. Maybe in her emptiness and the meekness of its inhabitants.

So could this be how Cocona perceives (or did perceive) Yayaka? I always thought Yayaka actually cared for Cocona, but would this indicate she wants to keep Cocona around because she feels some sense of ownership?
>>
>>150399137
In an emotional sense, Yayaka is the raiders that come down to bully and oppress Cocona's soul, and steal away her happiness.

From Yayaka's point of view, it might be very different. We will probably know more in this episode.
>>
>>150382693
So glad this show is flopping.
>>
>>150399077
>>150398968
Yayaka's feelings for Cocona were pre-existent and implied in the way most anime imply that sort of feeling from a character with a long background of relation who has become estranged, and the parallel between Welwitschia and Yayaka (appearance, obsessive sexual ownership of Cocona/Papika expies) is obvious. Again, PI is about interrelation, so the fact that it maps to both of them disproves neither theory. The dualism of sexuality/feeling for each other (which doesn't really have to be as deeply romantic as the one anon suggests to still be worth representation) that is repressed in both of them vs. violent interaction applies to their relationship to each other in spades.
>>
>>150398968
That's even more true of the "Yayaka wants to control Cocona's sexuality" interpretation. (which is not mutually exclusive with mine)

You could actually remove the romantic element and duel worlds = Yayaka's relationships still works.

>>150399077
That only works if you assume that PI=people since Cocona is internally divided but generally presents a consistent face to the world. Whereas if you stick to the PI=interrelationships school of thought, then I think Yayaka is the only good fit for ep3.
>>
>>150399080

Discord is a better translation.

>why speculate

Because that's what these threads are for unless you are here to shitpost.

Anyway it's not really speculating anyway, just an attempt at translating the preview.
>>
>>150399128
And yet they take on aspects of the world they land in, as the monster in episode 6 largely took on the characteristics of the paint world, and hence the relation of Iroha and Aunty it represented. It's likely the amorphous takes the most toxic aspect of its host PI and forms it around itself, hence Welwitschia being the worst of both Cocona and Yayaka's sexual and relationship dysfunction.
>>
>>150399128
True that, I personally think that the traps are influenced by the PI they are in, but should generally be considered separately. which makes ep5 interesting since we only see the trap and have just one hint about the nature of the PI: the gay Doki-Doki feelings that in inspired. (although it's possible that only the new building and clocktower are parts of the trap and not the school itself)
>>
>>150398968
It wouldn't be much a surprise honestly. But I think she'll somehow help Cocona and Papika to make up rather than pursue Cocona's rabu. She totally seems like the self-sacrifice type. A softie.Like a lesbian version of Homura.

So let's run with this idea: A fragment causes the most toxic aspect of a PI to become a boss monster. How does this apply to the rest of the PIs?

That would seem to be the case, if anything I think episode 5's pure illusion was rather postmodern in that it was the viewer's relation to Papika and Cocona's relationship, with the Marimite section they cross into being all the worst fetishistic, objectifying aspects of that.

Nothing wrong with exposition inherently. Probably too dumb to realise though. What people complain about is the type of exposition you find in LN and Manga which consists of the characters standing there for five or ten minutes hamfistedly explaining their backstory. A flashback for example though is a fine way of giving character backstory. Just like episode 6 where we got exposition about iroha all episode long.

>ジッター (Jitter) とは、電気通信などの分野において、時間軸方向での信号波形の揺らぎ自身や、その揺らぎによって生じる映像などの乱れのことを指す。「 いらいらする」という意味の英語"Jitter"に由来する。

>In electronics and telecommunications, jitter is the deviation from true periodicity of a presumably periodic signal, often in relation to a reference clock signal. In clock recovery applications it is called timing jitter.[1] Jitter is a significant, and usually undesired, factor in the design of almost all communications links.

I don't know why EP 9 is out already but I'm fine with this.
>>
>>150408592
You're confused why it's out on schedule?
>>
>>150408592
It got shifted to one hour early a few weeks ago but was delayed the first time. If I remember right.
>>
>>150408618
>>150408628
I was used to it being uploaded in 5 hours or so. I just noticed that episode 8 was this early too.
