Greetings. My name is Jebuiz y’har. If my calculations are correct, you should be receiving this transmission in the year 2013 AD. It amuses me that you used to calculate your dates in relation to the life of an ancient man. You see, we have a slightly different timescale. But to make things simple, I am writing from the year 49,170 AD.

I... I wrote a song for Yuyu.

Why does Yuyu have to live in a world which is not real?
Mechanical arm of Yuyu.
Depths of solitude.
Nights of pure illusion.
Hours of self satisfaction
Why do I let my Yuyu hurt me like this?
I do not care about your opinions anymore.
They mean nothing to me.
A reckless past catching up to me... and for what?
I demand answers, and they are not hard to find...
Amorphous is the answer, to remove Yuyu from my mind.

I hope she never sees it.

Papika did this trick many times. Now It's time for Cocona playing possum.
>>
>>150521904
looks like she has two anklets, so she was carrying two shards?
>>
So I've been thinking about Yayaka, and it seems like her being turned into a robot is a real possibility. Remember "another bust" from episode 1? Remember robots other than Bu-chan from episode 1? Where do you think their brains came from? Those are all Papika's ex-partners. Or otherwise, any brains Hidaka could get his hands on. And now he's got a brand new brain for free.

In episode 8 Hidaka mentions that Buu-chan is an old model, this implies he's working on new models now.

Yayaka's body probably sustained too much damage.
Her sacrifice wouldn't be as meaningful if she fully recovers.
Yayaka is not present in ED, and doesn't appear much in OP.
Cocona would have meaningful motivation for "revenge" against Asclepius.
Yayaka becoming a robot would allow for drama-free PapiCoco end.
Yayaka doesn't appear in the preview of the next episode.

Normally I'm okay with shows sticking to subtext and going the more than friends less than lovers route. At this point though I think I'll be legitimately angry with this show if it doesn't end that way between Cocona and Papika.

That guy is speculating. We don't know how Buu-chan was made, it could be all artificial for what we know, like the supercomputers from Eva.
Also we don't know shit about the other robots, they seemed pretty unremarkable so they could have classic electronic circuits.

>>150526329
It is easy to get confused about the fragments and how many each side has at various points. As far as I can tell Papika and Cocona always had one each. Then the one they get at the end of episode 1 papika just keeps hold of all the time for some reason or the shard can magically permeeate the anklet thing when it glows. Then the one they get in episode 2 goes into salts box along with the one for episode 5. The one they got in episode 8 not sure what happened to it yet last time we saw it Papika held it in the shower.

So
Papika's ankle - 1 shard
Cocona's thigh - 1 shard
Episode 1 - Papika just seems to have this one all the time ( could be the same one as in her ankle if ankle one is able to just pass through the anklet)
Episode 2 - Salt's box
Episode 5 - Salt's box
Episode 8 - Papika holding when she said Mimi

I wonder if Cocona's defence trap would have been triggered if actually Yayaka tried to remove her fragment.

If YYK and episode 1 girl would actually die it's not necessarily bad to keep them in robot form, just pretty weird. Also i'm pretty sure this show wouldn't keep the good/bad line clear between KKK and FLFL.
Still i don't think they will do it to Yayaka, she might get robot parts though...

If she is an amorphous child removing the shard might cause her to stop existing.

If it's just embedded in her thigh trying to cut to it could end up cutting through that big artery and she'd just bleed out and die really fast.

Papika seemed to be really against it. She wouldn't really know if the person would survive if you cut out that chunk of the leg, but maybe she knew something about how cutting out this shard would affect Cocona.

She is being selfish. Her love is one way and he can't admit it. Instead of letting the person she loves be happy she is trying to fuck over Papika so she can force herself on Cocona. Sometimes loving a person means letting them go

She is afraid that if Cocona and Papika love each other she will no longer be loved.

Yayaka has a huge crush on Cocona, Cocona treats her just as a friend. Yayaka can't admit that her feelings are lopsided and wants to Cocona and Papika separate so she can maintain the illusion

Its selfish and to be expected from someone during their first crush. Yayaka will be happier when she accepts reality and moves on.

She can still be friends if she wants but she has to learn to let Cocona be happy with Papika

Yayaka did that all on her own and it's her own fault for being so passive with Cocona. The most she ever did with her was talk about nothing in the nurse's office while Cocona kept wondering what to do with her life every day.

>>
>>150532313
>never really tried getting that close to her.
Yayaka has been treating Cocona nicely by not butting into her life. She is taking the slow route, so to speak. It's Papika who carelessly drags Cocona into dangerous adventures, but somehow Yayaka is at fault here?
>>
>>150532330
Yayaka couldn't make a move. As much as she wanted to she had to keep a thin distance with Cocona because of her job.

Yayaka's job was to spy on Cocona. Yayaka needed Cocona's friendship very much and always wanted the best for Cocona. But Yayaka couldn't tell Cocona the truth which would hurt Cocona and destroy her job which was the sole reason that allowed her stay aside of Cocona. So Yayaka had to put on a cold persona to not get too close with Cocona. Yayaka worked her ass off to keep her place just to stay with Cocona, but Cocona couldn't recognize her effort because Cocona's mindset is sweet, kind, and naive while her mindset is shaped by pragmatism for survival such that Yayaka couldn't afford to be kind. When Papika appeared she knew there was no chance she could ever compete to keep Cocona by her side. Then she let go of Cocona and ran away and gradually devolved into paranoia of losing her place.

At fault for not being the kind of person that Cocona needed in her life, yes.

When you think about it, people around Cocona has been treating her very nicely. But somehow Cocona throw herself into dangerous adventures with a dangerous girl who don't give a damn if she turns out to be "just another bust".

I haven't been able to accurately predict where this series is going so far, so it makes me very anxious for the ending. I don't know how you could possibly have 9 perfect episodes and make the rest shit as long as there aren't major production disasters (and everything points to the production being ahead of schedule the whole time), but I still worry.

Episode 9 hit some really great and heavy emotional beats. I hope we get a Papika arc starting with 10 and I hope it's cathartic as fuck.

Papika ruined every aspect of Yayaka's life.

Come on, don't start this sort of shit. Just let them all get along.

>>150532313
Yayaka came off as an incredibly awkward person to me for the whole series. She really valued being by Cocona's side but just settled into an idle and comfortable routine. It's not like she wasn't there for her, she just wasn't dragging her out of her comfort zone like Papika did. This is simply a consequence of the differences in their personalities.

She's visibly pissed off by Papika's appearance from the start, but she never seemed to actively try to keep her away from Papika either. Note that when she extended her offer to have them help collect the Amorphous in episode 4, it was an offer toward both of them.

The reason she lashes out at Papika in this episode is because even if not willingly, Papika is the cause for all the stress Yayaka has been building up. Yayaka seems to have had two things she valued: her place within KKK and Cocona. Even the juxtaposition of the line the cultists say to her in the flashback and Toto's line not even 15 seconds away from each other, each using 居場所 (place to belong) to refer to a different thing (Cocona and the KKK, respectively), illustrates Yayaka's conflict. She feels like her place by Cocona's side is being threatened (or even already lost) due to Papika appearing out of nowhere and suddenly being closer than she ever managed to be to Cocona. Her place in KKK is threatened because she's been showing partiality toward Cocona, which has only happened because Papika dragged her into PI in the first place. On top of this, she's currently being pressured toward making a final decision. So of course she's frustrated and of course she's gonna be taking it out on Papika when she has a semi-justification for it this episode.

Is it correct of her to do so? Does Papika deserve it? Absolutely not. But it's understandable and doesn't make her irredeemably shitty or anything.
>>
>>150532504
>EVERYTHING GOT FUCKED UP BECAUSE PAPIKA BUTTED IN AND UNDID ALL HER WORK

What work? Yayaka was playing the best friend while all the time wishing the other person would suddenly see the magic and fall in love.

That doesn't happen, i would think everyone here would know that. Yayaka was very much in love, Cocona was not.

Well now that her only real choices are to be homeless or to work at Flip Flap, let's hope she chooses the latter. She'll have to get over her belief that her place of belonging could only be the KKK, but if she does it'll mostly fix her situation.
I hope so, at least. She's suffered enough, I just want her to be happy ;_;
>>
>>150532909
>while at the same time she hasn't been considering how Yayaka felt.

Arguably Yayaka has not sufficiently clarified her intentions with Cocona, its not that she is a jerk, its that she is unaware
>>
>>150532664
If Cocona liked Yayaka, she would have liked her more even after Papika appeared. So it could have just been someone else instead of Papika because Cocona never cared (that much) in the first place. There's absolutely no reward at the end of Yayaka's struggle.
>>
>>150532912

>>
>>150532749
>Is it correct of her to do so?
Yes

Does Papika deserve it?
Yes

Papika constantly talking about collecting amorphous to fulfill her own wish, not Cocona's. Yayaka collects amorphous to save Cocona, not for herself (or the KKK). It's really telling who have the high ground here.

>>150532504

I think it's a much more proud thing to do to choose the former. Although Yayaka doesn't have this mindset.
>>
>>150533092
>I think it's a much more proud thing to do to choose the former.

If Yayaka really loves Cocona, and not some stupid crush, she will work with the FliFla to help Cocona.

Sometimes your love will go unfulfilled, that does not mean you should suddenly stop careing for them and wish the to fail. Its the opposite you need to grow and should want to see them happy
>>
>>150533002
I think next episode we might learn a bit more about her circumstances. It depends on whether she can achieve what she wants with Flip Flap. I hope she'll be in a place she's satisfied with by the end of the show anyway.

>>150533254
With only four episodes to go I hope they don't make the mistake of dialing down the intensity too much. Exposition's going to have to go hand in hand with a lot of the action itself if they want to complete an ambitious endgame for the show. Thankfully I guess (and especially even nine episodes in) FliFla has always been reluctant to give a lot of answers directly.

Of course you will feel bitter at first, the point is a person should grow from that experience. Its unhealthy to let your love turn into negative feelings

At some point in time you are supposed to realize the truth, the other person never loved you and that is ok. If you can't accept that and let the other person find happiness you never loved them at all.

You were infatuated and delusional, you were placing your emotional happiness above the other person.

>>150533404

Judging by the stats (which were probably copypasted to save work) Papika is pretty much identical to Cocona (same weight, height, and other charts are also identical). So, assuming Cocona is normal human (which she probably aren't), Papika is physically indistinguishable from normal human.

I watched this scene again and by what we know now (that Papika probably wasn't escaping the Flip Flap HQ, but the Asclepius HQ), it's entirely possible that it wasn't the candidate that was a bust, it was the operation.

Papika still doesn't seem to be too concerned about her, though.

You mean other than the reason that Papika is shown alive and well in this exact scene, or that the hair is completely the wrong length?

Because she has different hair length to Papika. So even the notion that she's a Papiklone is directly contradicted.

The concern I would attribute to Papika basically being a blank slate in the beginning. You can see this with how she interacts with Cocona in the beginning. Her actions always struck me as those of someone who doesn't quite understand human emotion yet (indicated by the fact that it wasn't until episode 2 that Papika understood that her actions could hurt others).

That is because they don't love you and nothing in the world is going to change that. Friendship and love are different and one does not magically turn into another.

You can't blame others for your failure in love, its your fault and you have to take ownership of that. Using others as a scapegoat will cause you to be bitter and angry.

You may never find the love you are looking for and you have to accept that and move on. You can still find happiness but you have to work toward it.

He's right though. Friend zone is just a term created by losers who suger coat the fact that someone doesn't love them romantically. The term being created to pretend it's not their fault for being too friendly (Only to try to get in their pants) or give the illusion that they can "escape" it.

Same reason yayako is bitter and mad she couldn't step up and now it's too late.

I kind of think he and Mimi were the original flip flappers. Papika's costume has an open chest, which is a really nice character design in and of itself, but it makes a whole lot more sense if it's a variant of a tuxedo-mask like male costume that had an open dress shirt as its upper piece.

You do bear some responsibility for putting someone in the friend zone, though. Doing things that lead someone on, saying things that can be interpreted either way are a really easy way to get them to give you more attention. It's rewarding in and of itself.

The problem is that people who do this have never had it done to them, so they don't relate to how much it sucks.

You're not going to believe me but in high school I'd friend zone people all the time. I'm a male who likes girls, so me being able to manipulate them didn't have the knock-on effect of making them less attractive to me, but I've been told for girls that's a thing. Don't worry-- shit happened that made me a shut-in afterwards so I don't even have any real life friends anymore.

To get back to FF, I don't think Cocona lead Yayaka on at all. She just considered her a friend, and never floated hints that there could be anything more. She wasn't in any position to think about that kind of thing anyway-- Cocona was just limply carrying herself from day to day, trying to get it all over with.

>>150538139
Isnt that the idea? The friendzone is a one-sided exploitative relationship predicated on the misconstrued belief by one party that romantic advancement is possoble and entertained by the other party. To put some in that position inherently requires dishonesty and manipulation. The friendzone lives in the deliberate ambiguity of a relationship that's poorly defined. The moment the relationship is clarified, the illusion shatters and the exploited party is able to extricate themselves. Avoiding clarification is a means for the benefiting party to prolong the advantageous relationship.

Nobody should apply these terms to Cocona and Yayaka's relationship. Yayaka is just a possessive friend and Cocona is just a clueless introvert blind to social cues

I think you may be blind to social cues. You don't need yuri goggles to see this series is about love, not simple friendship.

there is a very clear progression in their relationship and the symbolism is hard to miss.

Just because they didn't give us 15 minutes of narration and a static background does not mean they are not in love.

Wanting to find love is the least autistic feeling in the world. I'm still pissed off about what that crusty old asshole said to me.

Listen up. You might think I deserve to die alone (fuck you again btw), but I refuse. One day I will find someone who loves me, and I will love her too. I will find happiness even if you don't want me to - even if you think I don't deserve it. I will not give up. I will not 'move on.' You do not decide my life for me. I will 'accept' solitude and 'move on' if I feel like it, and I won't if I don't.

Now go fuck yourself.

If we take "the series" to mean Cocona's character development, which the series has been all about up to now, it's about the difference between the two. Cocona feels romantic love for Papika but platonic love for Yayaka.

On Yayaka's side it could be platonic or romantic, because honestly it doesn't matter. Her main character issue is not the difference between platonic and romantic love like Cocona's, it's the trouble with choosing between the cult she's been in her entire life or her friend (whom she may have romantic feelings for, sure, but again it doesn't matter either way as long as there's some sort of bond there).

If you see it as platonic it's fine, and if you see it as romantic it's fine, because it actually doesn't have an impact on her character. It's just the bond between her and Cocona that's the important thing. Also, a romantic bond is not necessarily stronger than a platonic bond either, so arguing on that is pointless too.

I've been rewatching the early episodes of Flip Flappers, the ones written by Yunico, and in them, all of the characters display more Ne-Si traits than Se-Ni traits. I think that's the biggest difference between the two writers.

People take simple concepts and dress them up in the most unbearable language to feel self important, they don't add anything substantive to the discourse.

I'm the same. I have a few girls who like me, and I admit with minimal shame that I sometimes use them for an ego stroke.

To be fair, it's not all fun and games. There's some work involved. You have to throw out mixed signals sometimes to keep them interested, but you have to keep some level of ambiguity even when fanning the flames of hope so that you can backtrack if need be and feign ignorance. If you're TOO overtly romantic, you lose the advantage of plausible deniability.

Sure but that's because you've seen the show and discussed it in threads. I don't care if some people I've never met want to figuratively jerk themselves off over an anime. It seems like videos just get linked here so people can flame them. People shouldn't give a shit about strangers and their egos when it isn't affecting them.

I was referring to their use of language. They purposefully try to make things sound esoteric and complex. The additional complexity adds nothing additional.

As much as we all love to jerk of to the show, its a story about love with some awesome art. That is how you sell it if you want to build an audience.

I don't get this. I've been in the same situation unwillingly. Noticed too late and was too afraid to lose my only friend to actually make things clear. It was incredibly awkward to me for a few months and I kept feeling guilty. Then at some point I gathered enough courage to stop being shitty and made everything clear.
Two years have passed and we remain good friends.

I just don't get why anyone would put themselves in that situation willingly and actively try to maintain it. Sounds stressful as hell.

Well, the early episodes were much more about Papika, and she just oozes Si-Ne. She's been kind of relegated to the background in recent episodes, so that may have a lot to do with it, but it reflects in the PI worlds they go to as well. I saw some slight Ne leanings in Cocona as well in the earlier episodes, while later on she's very clearly Se-Ni.

The extremely abstract, unrealistic PI worlds, like 1 and 3, come from an Ne-Si point of view. I highly suspect that Yuniko is an Ne user (interviews bear this out a bit) and that's why there's such a focus on that kind of stuff. I think the director, however, is an Ni user. 7 and onward come from a very Ni-Se point of view. 6 is the odd one out-- it was probably conceived by the director, who is an Ni user, but I believe it was written from Yunico's point of view.

Ne is comfortable with a melange of sensory impressions and symbols that have ambiguous meaning, or may mean nothing at all. Si is reflected in the overall impression of an environment or experience-- for Si, the specific nature of a place, situation, or experience doesn't matter nearly as much as the emotional impression it leaves on you.

Ni looks at possibilities like Ne does, but it's far less comfortable with ambiguity. If you show an Ne-user a rock, they're going to come up with a million different things it could be-- a hammer, a missile to throw, or you can paint it with a face and make it a friend, and they're totally comfortable with those possibilities being shut down-- it's an excuse to come up with even more. The Ni user, though, wants to understand the rock in depth, and come up with one single best fit answer. Absent anything to contradict the initial impression, an Ni user will just call the rock a rock.

>>150542603
The reason I typed all that Jungian nonsense out is because I want to compare episode 6 to episode 7.

Episode 6 is still very much keeping in line with the Ne-Si nature of the previous episodes. It has a deep concept, that we're experiencing the memories of Iro-sempai, but it manages to steep it in ambiguity and sensory *impressions* (as opposed to perceptions).

The coloration of Iro's memories bear this out. Orange and yellow for Auntie, Blue for mom and dad. The reality of Iro's past wasn't important, only what it means. Take into account as well the conversation that Cocona and Papika have when switching-- "But Iro is Iro, there's only ever been one!" That is incredibly ambiguous, it's like catnip to an Ne user.

Episode 7, however, is far more interested in reproducing the reality of the world in depth. They capture a creepy sense of paranoia in the fact that the city is uninhabited by anyone else. This is Se-Ni at work. It isn't happy just recalling sensory impressions, it has to have an exact reason to show you something. It's not nearly as comfortable with ambiguity.

Each Papika clone had an exact meaning to Cocona, and each one conjures up a well of different thoughts and contemplatory themes in the Ni user. An Ni user never shows a symbol just because it "feels right," they always have a very specific and considered reason to do so.

Cocona's conversation with Papina(succubus version, if I fucked up the name) could only really have one meaning, which we all understood. Cocona might love Papika, but it has to be the *real* Papika.

What new characters? You mean like Pops or the villagers from episode 3? They're native inhabitants of PI. Sometimes they're obviously meant to stand-in for a real character (Pops = Hidaka), sometimes they aren't (ep3 as a whole despite the retarded DEEPfags that will try to claim otherwise).

It's not like anything really weird happens.

And understand that I'm not analyzing it as a "work of art" like some /lit/-fag. I'm thinking about this in terms of how the authors think while they're making this stuff. I sincerely hope there's actually a difference and I'm not just being an insufferable pedantic nerd.
>>
>>150543264
PI just provides a stage to play out their emotional conflicts. The best example of this was the last episode.

You were able to watch yayaka destroy all her happy memories of cocona in the fight right before your eyes. same with the room, it was empty, mirroring how yayaka felt.

Pretty much, yes, but the Ne-Si user doesn't like to spend a lot of time analyzing shit like this in depth anyway (me excepted, but I have my own reasons).

> unlike a lot of people that throw a bunch of symbolism on the blackboard with no interpretation
An Ne user doesn't care if things don't make sense. In fact, I'd call it a mistake to say that they even use symbolism-- they use "impressions" that conjure up certain feelings. They rarely are going for a specific meaning.

MBTI-kun, what do you think of INFJs? What are their good points and bad points?

Her plan to get some of the energy bar was miscalculated. When she bit down on Papika's hand that means she could not bite on the bar in order to eat some. At that point it was probably sticking down her throat a little so her only option would be to try to suck the bar out of the wrapper and Yayaka's hand.

What is Papika doing in ep 1 begining? Where is that? Who is the dead girl?

How can Papika be indifferent to death of a partner while having casual romance with Cocona? How is FlipFlap morally acceptable if they get girls killed all the time?

What happened between ep 1 and 2? (KKK kidnapped Cocona, didn't steal the shard, Papika got it, and KKK fixed Cocona's glasses, is this right?)

What does Salt collect shards for (i.e. what is the liberation of PI)? (KKK does it for "world conquest", ok.)

What is the actual meaning of Mimi being in Cocona's (recent bad) dreams? What is the meaning of Cocona and Mimi mirroring each other in OP?

Where is the Lake of Clover Flowers in OP and ep 7? What is Salt doing there?

What happened during Mimi incident? When it happened what were Papika and Salt doing (wearing white labcoat)?

What is the meaning of Cocona having a shard in her thigh scar? (Is Cocona some prime amorphous child? Is the shard an implant or natural formation?) What is Cocona to KKK if KKK has been experimenting on her?

Why Papika looks older during Mimi incident than she is now? What happens to her age?

What is going on with Papika confusing Cocona with Mimi. Is Papika's memory of PI nature thus influenced by simultaneous PI events or something else?

>We don't much talk about japanese lutetary references, neoclassocal painters or The Divine Comedy here anymore

That's because new references to those things stopped happening, well there were never any references to the divine comedy that was just some bullshit speculation someone came up with. When the world was being established though there were plenty of new names, and concepts being introduced that had ties to things thematically related to the show.

Since then most of the referential stuff has been to popular culture and easily spottable with no implications of "depth" just for being noticed, like episodes 5 or 8. Or self referential like episode 6 where Iroha's painting she was doing in episode 1 or 2 I don't remember which actually turns out to be the painting they have gone into.

I always said this from the start about the references in this show though, they are at best loosely related thematically to the show, none of them have any real importance to the plot or anything like that, just cool things to notice that the creators of the show knew about or thought were neat.

Even the whole use of sound references I don't think will be ultimately that important, its more just a technical sounding metaphor, a thematic anchor for any technobabble parts they need to employ for explaining the mechanics of Pure Illusion and creatively used in episode titles.
>>
>>150544864
Welcome to the concept called mystery
>>
>>150545049
It was strongly implied because Papika later said "Oh you're alive!"
>>
>>150545049
While that's true, there's really no reason for us to not think she's dead considering considering Papika's "you're alive!" line.
>>
>>150544864
Popular theory is that Papika escaped from the KKK base at the beginning of ep 1. We don't know who the girl is, but if it's relevant, it'll be brought back up. It's also unknown whether she really is dead.

Cocona has a shard in her leg that smells really good to Papika. No idea who fixed her glasses.

The shards are doing bad shit in every PI world they've ever been shown in. Salt probably wants them gone so PI can be what it used to be again.

We'll know more about who Mimi is soon, likely next episode.

We don't know where the lake is, but I believe it's another PI and the Salt we saw there was a PI version of him, like Pops was Hidaka's PI self.

Again, we don't know what happened with Mimi. She's the big mystery of the show.

The KKK probably hasn't been experimenting on Cocona apart from installing a tracker after ep 1. Nobody knows yet where she got the shard from. The KKK mentioned Papika being half the Direct Drive, so it's only logical that Cocona is the other half with how they've been monitoring her.

Papika could have just been reliving Salt's memories like she did with Iroha. Also, many people say she looked younger.

Papika's memories are being unlocked or overwritten with Salts. This started near the lake when her shard and Salt's reacted to each other.

Question of my own: Why do you need to know all of this? Does knowing all the answers increase your enjoyment of the show?

Some (but not all) of those mysteries are likely to be answered in the next three episodes. Come up with your own speculah or just wait and see.

>KKK kidnapped Cocona, didn't steal the shard, Papika got it, and KKK fixed Cocona's glasses, is this right?
They also did something to her arm. Probably implanted a tracking chip.

>What is going on with Papika confusing Cocona with Mimi. Is Papika's memory of PI nature thus influenced by simultaneous PI events or something else?
Her memory is obviously being influenced by the amorphous aka Shards of Mimi. It's still not certain whether the memories are her own or someone else's but I think we're leaning towards hers.
>>
>>150545149
>Popular theory is that Papika escaped from the KKK base at the beginning of ep 1
Actually the only correlation with KKK base is the similarity of the mountainous location. Several other things suggest it was FF HQ.
>unknown whether she really is dead
strongly implied because "Oh you're alive!"
>Salt probably wants them gone so PI
If Salt does nothing KKK will still do the same thing to remove shards from PI so what's the point?
>KKK probably hasn't been experimenting on Cocona apart from installing a tracker
KKK did a lot on her in ep 9 flashback.
>Papika could have just been reliving Salt's memories
This would feel very forced.
>many people say she looked younger
But she sounded less autistic.

>>150544864
Most of that is unexplained in any definite way, that is supposed to be part of the appeal I think. You can theorise around a lot of those based on small observations like this guy has >>150545149 and come up with your own interpretations. That is what a lot of the posting in these threads is about when they aren't shit. I imagine these threads would be much more dead if they were explained all the time. I think we will probably get an answer of some kind to a fair number of those questions in the coming episodes although I wouldn't be surprised if some of it is left unaddressed.

Like you said, theorizing on your own is a big appeal of the show to me, and if any of it matters, it'll be answered in the show. If anything isn't answered or implied, I'll just make up my own explanation or leave it be, because we don't need to know the life story of every single character. Having characters like these interact with each other so dynamically is really fun, just like meeting them in real life would be. You don't get flashbacks to someone's past in reality either. The characters are just who they are and they express it through their actions and dialog, not a 3 minute flashback of their childhood.

Enjoy the happy ending.

I hope it keeps me guessing until then without any major asspulls.

>If Salt does nothing KKK will still do the same thing to remove shards from PI so what's the point?
I prefer the salt is trying to break down the barrier between deep PI and the real world kind of idea myself (based on his speech about friction) where as the KKK are trying to use the power of PI to influence people to someone establish world domination.

If that was Papika as Papika in an actual memory in the past she was in though to me she definitely appeared younger. I'm somewhat sceptical as to whether she was there or just experiencing someone elses memories though. It makes a lot more sense for Salt to call himself Mimi's partner if we are assuming she is his wife and Cocona their child.

You're literally asking for the meaning of plot elements that have not yet been revealed. This hast nothing to do with not understanding the show or it not making sense.
>>
>>150545394
> >Papika's memories are being unlocked or overwritten with Salts
>I don't see anything backing this up.
Then you have a blind spot since this is super obvious from Papika's behavoir.
>>
>>150545433
The same I do every week. Masturbate to Yayaka eating out Cocona while being taken from behind by Papika.

You can't kiss a dead girl
>>
>>150545744
Yayaka isn't dead.
Yet.
>>
>>150545703
don't do that
>>
>>150545744
You obviously never tried.
>>
>>150545703
So LEWD anon. It's supposed to be a pure love between Papika and Cocona, maybe with a bit of vaseline on the lens to give it that soft hollywood glow.

Pure and innocent, with a hint of contusion

Try to stop me.

I think this is where the problem with conventional anime storytelling really shows itself. People are used to having everything explained before it happens on screen in worlds with fantastic elements that aren't obvious in function. Like shonen protags explaining their attacks before doing it to the opponent or mahou shoujo having their pet sidekick that explains how their transformations and attacks work in order to train the girl. So if something is intentionally not explained it is difficult to shake this feeling of having "not got it" and not understanding when you were never even supposed to in the first place. Like how some people got hung up on what the monsters were in the first episode and really wanted an explanation for that when it was clear that if it was important for you to know that you would have been told. They have done this through out the series only drip fed important bits of information that we need to know to understand what is going on immediately and left the bigger things unexplained.

lol I literally put together a list of unsolved question to invite speculahs nothing more. what's with this rant?
>>
>>150545744
It'd probably be easier for the average anon to kiss a dead girl than a live one.
>>
>>150545930
That wasn't targeted at you specifically. More at the kind of person that guy was responding to if you understand what I mean? I thought your list was very useful actually.
>>
>>150545952
Can attest. I live a block away from a mortuary.

>>150545873
Some mindsets have a low tolerance for uncertainty.
>>
>>150545930
He raises good points. Anime tends to relay heavily on the words of the character. It spends a lot of time telling the audience what happens.

When you combine that with all the autist on the board that want every little thing spelled out in the story, regardless of importance, you end up with people who miss the forest for the trees

They get tied up in trying to figure out of yayaka is going to be turned into a robot and forget the story about the two girls falling in love
>>
>>150544772
Would be cool is that's her permanent ninja cyborg body front now on.
>>
>>150545930
Your list was replying to my post with something unrelated then. The guy was talking about not being able to understand the show, which has nothing to do with not knowing the mystery stuff that is purposefully withheld.
>>
>>150546055
I think it is just as much expectations as mind sets, and anime sets up certain expectations through its usual methods of storytelling, some shows that get extremely popular with wide audiences keep mysteries like Stranger Things or whatever.
>>
>>150545873
I feel like you'd have to either watch an episode a week or take breaks in between, because I would absolutely be lazy and just watch the next episode if I was marathoning it without bothering to speculate on my own. I would pick up on the obvious clues, but without actively thinking about backgrounds and details of character designs. Talking about it with other people adds a lot of enjoyment to Flip Flappers to me.
>>
Would Yuyu give free mech handjobs for armorphous?
>>
>>150546184
Yeah, given that perspective I can understand why people can come into the threads and be like "I just watched all 9 episodes, WTF is going on?" A lot of the ideas people take here as obvious and the most popular theories have kind of been refined through repeated discussion between episodes and there are so many small details that feed into forming those theories that it would be very easy to just miss a few during a marathon watch.
>>
>>150546184
>I feel like you'd have to either watch an episode a week or take breaks in between,

Watching them all at once is a completely different experience. Its more like an emotional roller coaster.

Like you said, you will not get the sublte things right away but its really fun you get to ride the ups and downs of the growing relationship
>>
>>150546274
Yes. Her mindset is completely different from yours.
>>
>>150546274
She'd probably crush your genetalia after she'd gotten the amorphous.
>>
You idiots will over analyze anything.
>>
>>150543891
OK, since the thread is past bump limit I'll go ahead and give you an answer.

The human mind is balanced in such a way that everyone has every possible function in either an introverted or extraverted style. You'll have different preferences, but your cognitive function stack will at least be capable, in some capacity, of doing anything anyone else's can.

I like thinking about how people are inspired, and how they come up with what they do, especially in terms of art and storytelling, so that's why I post MBTI stuff in these threads.

Why do you want to know? Are you wracked with some kind of self-doubt? This really isn't the place to discuss that. I don't mean to be a dick or nothing, but it just isn't. I'm not against talking to people about this kind of thing, but it might piss people off, and there's probably nothing I can say that would give you any comfort.

When the author puts this much effort into giving you something to analyse you might as well play along and have some fun.

It doesn't mean you don't enjoy the fan service as well
>>
>>150546373
Not anything. The majority of shows do not get this treatment only the ones that leave themselves open to it.
>>
>>150546373
There's literally nothing wrong with over analyzing things as long as you do it for fun and not in some attempt to show off or prove how smart you are. Discussion is fun, even if 99% of what people say ends up wrong.
>>
>>150546462
I love open-ended stories like this. They give you so much extra to explore beyond the borders of the story they laid out. It's great.
>>
can someone explain how does yayaka's ribbon work? where does it tie her front bangs to to keep it up?

It's tied to hair at the back of her head.
