How to not destroy a thread: ignore any shitty posts about the legitimacy of a relationship (see: /pol/) and anyone who insists assertively that said relationship is or isn't X. Hard, isn't it? Only if you're beyond retarded.

I for one like to watch it as something more than just friends, at least from Yayaka's side. She was hurt beyond what I'd call "friend jealousy", but that's just my perspective. I also found it cute that Papika described her affection towards Cocona like this.

its not about homo/hetero its about love. The animators have given every signal but taking out a baseball bat and beating the audience.

The story does not have to make it explicit, they don't ever have to show the act or even say the words. Their actions are enough. They act as people in love act

Think about the film the big sleep, they would show bogart and a girl have a drink and fade to black, they didn't have to show the sex for you do understand what was happening

same thing
>>
>>150549920
Ah, you're one of those faggots who needs to self insert into everything. That explains it.

>>150550142
Honestly I think this line was lost in all the other HAPPENINGS of this episode. But if anything I think this line confirms Papika's feelings toward Cocona's as romantic. It was far different than her usual kind of flippant use of the word "Suki"

I think all that's left for the two of them now is to be able to admit their feelings to one another.
>>
I want papisama to make me feel empty inside and die after her first kiss with Cocona.
>>
>>150550326
What's left for two is to figure out what the fucking is going on with Mimi. Cocona must be crazy cause she has been hanging by Papika's Mimi nonsense for three times.
>>
>>150550240
I understand what you mean, but I'd say relating to a character and self-inserting as them aren't necessarily the same thing, you can do the former without the latter. I'd argue I can only do the former in a case like Flip Flappers since I'm not a girl who likes girls. I can relate to the feeling of love itself.
>>
>>150550181
She loves her very much.
>>150550195
>ignore (...) anyone who insists /assertively/ that said relationship is or isn't X

My opinion isn't factual, so that's why, dipshit. Go shitpost on the yuri threads instead.
>>150550269
I didn't see it as a romantic confession, but it was still really cute. Papika is having mind farts with the whole Mimi thing to be able to even properly voice her legitimate feelings anyway.
>>150550326
I still prefer not to assume it as 100% romantic, but of course I enjoyed it being said.
>>
>>150550317
Look. I don't have a problem with yuri per se.

I just don't think it's really yuri until the girls kiss.

I'm sick of yuribait like Pandora and Eiphonium.
>>
>>150550413
When you "self-insert" what exactly does that mean? Does that mean you "attach" to a specific character, and try to apply whatever experiences they're having to yourself?
>>
>>150550240
Self insertion is completely unnecessary for me. And I love Papika and Cocona (And Yayaka) as characters regardless. But I do feel an affinity for Cocona. She's similar to how I was when I was younger so there's that.

I also had a friend who was a lot more outgoing and silly who did bring me out of my shell a bit who I even thought I loved for a time.
>>
>>150550478
This is bait
>>
>>150550490
It means you pretend to be the character you dolt.

Didn't you self-insert as Harry Potter, for example?
>>
>>150550409
You just made me realize that they used the fucking Mimi cliffhanger 3 episodes in a fucking row. Goddamn.
>>
>>150550317
I agree with your point but also what >>150550478
said.

As much as I would be okay with where we are so long as Papika and Cocona are happy by the end in whatever way I feel like if any show is going to be explicit either through love confession or kiss or both at this point it would be this one. I think it would feel incredibly natural and unforced if they did that at this point.

It would also make this show the greatest love story.
>>
>>150550317
>The story does not have to make it explicit, they don't ever have to show the act or even say the words. Their actions are enough. They act as people in love act
I do feel they're building up towards saying the words though. Cocona explicitly asked herself (via PI defense mechanism) if the nature of her love for Papika is romantic, and Papika basically gave a confession in the latest episode. This tells me the writers would at least like to do it, it remains to see if they actually pull through.

>>150550326
>I think all that's left for the two of them now is to be able to admit their feelings to one another.
Hopefully the Mimi stuff is used to confirm that Papika doesn't just see Cocona as Mimi's replacement and that she loves her regardless of her memory/perception fuckery.
>>
>>150550571
No?
>>
Rewatching the episode I just realized that Papika still doesn't know how to say itadakimasu.
>>
>>150550478
>I just don't think it's really yuri until the girls kiss.

Look at movies made during the Hays code to see how creative people are able to get at showing love and sex without even going so far as to have lips touch.

It may be an acquired taste but I would argue that type of style is anything but bait. It shows level of subtly that is missing from a lot of show today
>>
>>150550574
They did but each time was a progression. Episode 7 could be passed as a miscommunication. 8 Clearly bothered Cocona. And 9 brought it to the front as Cocona now knows who mimi was. Sorta.

Sakura Trick wasn't yuri, you're right.

The kisses need to mean something. Two girls kissing isn't necessarily yuri the same way fapping to traps isn't necessarily gay. Intent is important.

Pretty much. Think a silent protagonist in a videogame, you're supposed to feel like it's representing you. Of course it's not as simple in an anime where a character has a voice and (hopefully) a defined personality.

>>150550614
>Hopefully the Mimi stuff is used to confirm that Papika doesn't just see Cocona as Mimi's replacement and that she loves her regardless of her memory/perception fuckery.
I feel like that's going to be the basis of Papika's character arc. I think Papika is probably going to struggle with returning memories and accepting the loss of the past but realizing what she has with Cocona is special and thus being able to move on.
>>
>>150550268
I'm not insecure, it's just overwhelming when a character goes through something I wouldn't want to. I get the same reaction to seeing someone beaten up.

It doesn't hurt my enjoyment of these shows or anything. It's just that I don't consciously self-insert, it just kind of happens.

I'm basically wondering how other people consume media. I didn't even really think about it until I read about how some people wouldn't play certain games if the main character wasn't a "self-insert" and it just seemed like the most ridiculous thing to complain about ever.

My point is it just seems natural to do so. I'm really trying to avoid sounding like an idiot here, or that I have some specific philosophy I'm pushing here.

If Mimi breastfed Cocona and Papika, does that make them sisters?
>>
>>150550879
I mean, when I think of things I don't want to happen, I'm not usually thinking in such specific terms. Like, A character might be interested in something I don't care about, but them achieving something in that interest still rings as a positive experience for me. Moreover, if a character kisses someone, I wouldn't think of it as "oh, I wouldn't want to kiss that person" I think of it as "oh, that person got to kiss someone they like," and is therefore a positive experience.

That said I also don't really have a problem with characters going through negative experiences either as it tends to grant them more nuance.

What if you're just kissing so you can pilot your ancient yet high tech aerial fighter?

It's fine now. Calm the fuck down.

>>150550673
Again, don't disagree that it can be done skillfully. That said. I feel like this show has been explicitly building toward romance between Papika and Cocona. And at this point I think if they tried to tiptoe around it in the end like during the Hays era I would view it as almost a plothole. Especially with how central to the story their relationship is.
>>
>>150551087
OK, so it's either I get more attached to the characters' point of view than average, or I don't detach as much from my own point of view as others do.

Thanks. I'll stop talking about this now.

You know what would have been amazing? If we had glimpses of Yayaka's backstory in the previous episodes building up to this one, it could have been also helpful to develop Cocona since so far she's boring as fuck. It felt kind of underwhelming, actually the whole series feels like wasted potential.

Anyway if there's one thing i'm looking forward is Yayaka's flip flapping, that's gonna be sweet.

I find it hard to self insert. As a matter of flap if a character shares one of my experiences I tend to label her as boring or just take as a fun coincidence but it's a not a factor that drags me to like him or her. As other anon mentioned this thing of projecting works better in videogames where the mc is shallow as fuck and you can actually dictate his actions. I AM CJ, YOU BUSTAHS.

Cocona is a bag of nuance. It's shown explicitly that she separates herself from others, but whether that's due to fear or bad experiences is not said. Sometimes people are just shy.

She's interesting because we get to see how she grows as a person and learns to open up.

The ace of spades and the seven of hearts mean something.

Everything is always going to the shitter and the Flip Flapper duo is fucking useless at collecting shards. Not to mention KKK is almost done gathering their shit since even Papika is being affected by it.

Wait a second
if the shards are just shards of Mimi, how do they grant wishes? Could Mimi grant wishes? Is Mimi a wish-granting magical being?

Or did Salt choose is words carefully? Is it not that the shards will grant ANY wish, but that collecting them will grant Papika's wish, her wish that she kept secret even from Cocona, her wish to see Mimi again.

Yayaka will fully accept that Cocona is more important than anything else. But, realizing that, she'll then actually sacrifice herself this time so that Cocona can live on happily with Papika.

Femanon here. Holding hands in a platonic fashion is barely a thing anymore in north america, so most of the time, holding hands is gay. Interlocking arms, hugging, snuggling, etc. can all be platonic. Holding hands does have certain connotations, even if there are still girls who will do it platonically.

It depends where you are in the world though.

I've already explained how the series should go:

Papika will get kidnapped and the rest of the shards will be stolen (maybe even Cocona's.)

Cocona and Yayaka will have to learn to enter PI together to save Papika, and fight their way through PI to wherever the KKK is.

After Papika is free, the three transform without their shards and fight something. It's very difficult because they don't have the shards. Something allows them to enter a higher form and it is an even match. Yayaka might die for them to enter a higher form or something (hopefully) and win.

Afterwards they are at the pipes and a portal opens, it's Yayaka. Over the Rainbow plays for real this time.

This isn't supposed to be exact, but it just makes sense. The series is unfolding in a way that leads to this or something similar. It will probably be much better than how I am describing it, but I believe my prediction is the best because it does not conflict with episodes 1-7, works very well with 8 and 9. It also looked like there was going to be a break-in from what I could figure out in the end of episode preview.

We already know they can transform as a trio and the result was ridiculous, and after 9 Yayaka can no longer hold the amorphous children back and has damaged her relationship with Cocona and Papika. It only makes sense that they make up. I'm thinking in episode 10 we'll find out who Mimi is, and how she relates to everybody. Papika might get kidnapped at the end of the episode to create a cliffhanger. Episode 11 is Yayaka and Cocona making up after the events of episode 9, because they need to in order to enter PI safely. If it has 13 episodes, 12 and 13 will be a two-parter. I forget but it makes sense for this series to have 13, otherwise at this rate the ending will be rushed. The director is taking this too seriously to let that happen, though.

People keep saying that this is about Cocona and Papika falling in love, but did Papika really fall in love? She seemed to love Cocona from the beginning, and this whole Mimi thing really makes me wonder if she actually loves HER or is just transferring her love of Mimi onto to her.

I'm really unsure of what's going to happen in this show, but I am sure that there's going to be at least some tragedy before it's over.

I fucking hate this line of logic. Back in the 18 and 1900's, men would hug, sleep next to each other etc... and it wasn't weird or gay. Why can't I hug my best friend, who I've known since we were 4 without being called a faggot? Why the hell did everything get so sexualized?

Just making sure. There is enough time for my predictions then, if 10 and 11 follow then 12 and 13 basically have to more or less (the ending is still up in smoke, but making it a completely tragic ending isn't going to happen, it would basically make the series garbage.)

Papika and Mimi are the Direct Drive, which is a portal directly to the deepest levels of PI, or some core of PI, this almost definitely is going to happen. Cocona and Yayaka are going to enter, and honestly maybe there we'll get the flashbacks and learn about Mimi in DPI, and also the true intentions of the KKK.

Then there is 12 and 13 for a powerful conclusion. There almost definitely has to be three-way. Something tragic will happen. It will be resolved in some way.

Would it though? I get the feeling that Yayaka has some twisted feeling that she has been protecting and watching over Cocona her entire life, even though it was more like stalking, and it would make sense as to why she's so mad at Papika for not only risking Cocona's life but also getting the attention from Cocona she felt she deserved.

>>150556734
I guess the issue is that if there's love involved, then this episode and the whole conflict are emotional and meaningful, but if it's just friendship jealousy then it's silly and trivial. The show undermines itself at this point if they choose to go the route of "oh no don't worry it was just friendships" because the kind of drama they're using to intensify their narrative only works if it's more than friendship.

Yayaka's flowers symbolize one sided love. The show's been hitting us with flower language for a while, well only like 3 times I think. If it was a full lesbo triangle shit would turn into >>150556804 and would feel out of character for Yayaka since she's the total opposite of papika and keeps most of her shit to herself.

So Cocona is definitely not a child of PI since she spent her childhood with Yayaka right? I wonder how the age discrepancy of Papika would be explained. Hopefully they won't go for the retarded route and makes Nyunyu Mimi.
>>
>>150558297
>Hopefully they won't go for the retarded route and makes Nyunyu Mimi
Salt is Mimi.
>>
>>150558297
That just means she's been in that world since she was a child.
I'm assuming Cocona was the baby that Mimi was holding. Which means Mimi made some sort of decision that included Cocona, not only herself.

We've been calling it a scar which makes sense if Cocona got her fragment then, but I've wondered if it could be a birthmark instead.
>>
>>150558641
The entire cast of the show, from Salt, Hidaka and Sayuri to everyone in Asclepius and all the background school characters are all aspects of Mimi. Only the main three characters are not-- they are all the children of Mimi (Yayaka and Papika were adopted), kept artificially young because Mimi doesn't want to stop being a mother. The final battle is against Mimi, who has become a pathological god like being who is too emotionally disturbed to keep herself together anymore, ejecting her negative emotions to other PI worlds as shards in order to rid herself of doubt that what she's doing is right.

The big revelation is when the real world salt comes to Mimi's pure illusion,
>>
>>150558796
>The big revelation is when the real world salt comes to Mimi's pure illusion,
And then Papika, Yayaka, and Cocona discover the power of platonic friendship, and use their rainbow powers to escape Mimi's clutches, as she collapses in on herself.

They all find boyfriends and live happily ever after in HETEREOSEXUAL relationships (except yayaka who chooses an abusive husband) and have lots of kids who get shonen powers.

The last scene is Salt standing alone by the pond from the OP, but it's covered in shards of Mimi. He has a janitor's pushbroom and cap, and is sweeping them into a pile.

Rate my ending.
>>
>>150558297
Nyunyu has 4 episodes left for some development and have a lewd scene with Cocona. Meanwhile they have to explain Salto, FF, Mimi and papicoco drama. I think she might be the usual psycho who happens to be a superior version of the amorphous kids. Would be fun if Yuyu and Toto are also told they are old models now.

I liked the natives, their little gardens of pinwheels. They made the desert so comfy. I also like the scene after Papika was sent into orbit, and from the spiky gimp planet there was a scene of a normal gimp town, with a gimp mother and child coming home from a shopping trip. Little touches like that just gave the setting such depth.

Somewhere, on their spiky planet, those gimps are watching the Flip Flappers anime on their spiky gimp TVs, totally shipping the hell out of those two.

imagine the feeling you get when you see a cute girl you love and lust for. think about how your brain connects the concept of beauty to the female form.

now imagine that you want a girl to feel those same things about you, and that you can't imagine those feelings being directed towards a male body. a desire for mutual attraction to the same image.

That's how you self-insert into yuri as a guy. It allows one to empathize with both sides of the relationship.

I always viewed how Papika acted at the beginning more as how someone who's largely unfamiliar with human emotion would act around a new person they like. Papika I think was basically a blank slate at that point. It's just this show decided to take blank slate to not mean "emotionless rei-clone" but rather someone who just wouldn't understand how to deal with emotion so just kinda freeforms it.

I mean Papika didn't even realize that her actions could hurt other people physically or emotionally at the beginning.

Compare Papika in episode 3 "Dai-dai-dai-dia ect" to in the most recent episode "I love everything about her ect." I feel like Papika has come to figure out what she feels for Cocona is special. I think she just took a different path to it than Cocona since she basically wasnt able to be conflicted about it.

Papika gave Cocona exactly what she needed. Can you blame her for falling head over heels for her?
>>
>>150562511
Yayaka's feelings are pure.

Papika is just projecting her feelings for Mimi on Cocona. She's taking advantage of Cocona's nature to lead her along to do dangerous things to get Mimi back.

That just means that Yayaka is poorly compatible with Cocona. Much like Cocona herself, she needs someone proactive.

The PI's we don't strictly have any connection with are 1, 3 and 5, we don't really know the origin of those.

2 is inside a vacuum and has bunny elements because of Uexkull
4 has no PI
6 is Senpai
7 is Cocona
8 is Bu-chan/Hidaka
9 is Yayaka

The last 4 episodes have all been very strictly "somebody's PI", so I think they might've decided that element later in production, which is fine because the other PIs are done so well anyway. It's cohesive still.

Why does the Coconass shot get so much more hate than the shot of Papika giving two guys handjobs?

I think it was a good depiction of the relationship between Yayaka and Asclepius. Cold and featureless, moving only to give the pretense of a comfortable place when it's actually doing what cults do and isolating its victims from outside influence.

Much like someone trapped in a cult in the real world, Cocona was subject to emotional manipulation that further isolated her, and it took an intervention from a loved one outside the trap making an emotional connection to Cocona to free her.

And hidden underneath the cold facade of her relationship to the cult are Yayaka's feelings for Cocona, which also drive her to try and isolate Cocona just as the cult taught her to.

Novel features in the PI would only have distracted from the Yayaka's story and the raw emotion on display. If the goal was to save budget then this was a good episode to do it with.
>>
>>150570522
PIs are based on interrelationships according to Hidaka.

2 is Cocona/Uexkull
No idea about 3.
6 is Iroha/her aunt (and going to the deeper layer allowed them to alter the specific memory between the two)
7 is Cocona/Papika
8 is Hidaka/Bu-chan, which makes sense with Hidaka fixing Bu-chan in the end
9 is Cocona/Yayaka
>>
>>150570671
3 might be yayaka, papika, and cocona. What represents who is anyone's guess, but the gimps *might* be Yayaka or Papika. Maybe even both.
>>
>>150570671
1, 3 and 5 may well be just Cocona/Papika at various stages of their relationship.
>>
>>150570558
Same reason why Cocona was trapped in a house made out of hair. The PI forced them both into a situation where they had to break through their own shells. Incidentally Papika is shown just before each of them does that.
>>
>>150570452
It also introduced the concept of Umwelt and drove home its importance to the adventure.
>>
>>150570710
It makes sense that if the relationship changes (and it does), so does "their" PI.
>>
>>150570719
>Incidentally Papika is shown just before each of them does that
Yes! I really want an ending where Yayaka is friendly with Papika too.
>>
>>150570671
3 is Cocona to herself.
The vagina plant just represents her own hangups, which she confronts in learning to have fun with papika. That's why the episode was full of bondage imagery, which is Jungian shorthand for repressed desires.
>>
>>150570452
The bulk of that episode is overshadowed by that dress, and COCONA! COCONA! COCONA!

>>150570671
>(and going to the deeper layer allowed them to alter the specific memory between the two)
Calling it now. The final PI will be Salt/Mimi or Salt/Cocona and they'll have to go through the door again to fix a major disaster in the past.

True. I'm just hoping they'll use the door again for something in the endgame. It's possible since something was definitely done to Papika's memories at some point.
>>
>>150562377
Is Yayaka the most JUST character of the season?
>>
>>150570989
>The way this show so heavily guards against giving any answers/info

What do you mean, the show explains it self well enough. The characters, their motivation and their struggles. Its all right in front of the camera for you to see. They just don't spend half the episode talking about it
>>
>>150571086
Depends if she really is a cyborg now or not.
>>
>>150571095
The subtext is there, but I'm referring to stuff directly relevant to the main plot. The common pattern in this show is for Cocona to never ask questions related to what anyone's motives are, for example, or not being more curious about who Mimi is after two cliffhangers involving her name being mentioned.
>>
>>150571165
That bothers me greatly. Immediately after I said in one of these threads that Cocona behaves somewhat realistically, they pull something like this.
>>
>>150571165
>I'm referring to stuff directly relevant to the main plot.

i can see that, but we are also on episode 9, so they are clearly building everything up for one final moment of resolution.

>Cocona to never ask questions related to what anyone's motives are, for example, or not being more curious about who Mimi is

Its her first time in love and the person she cares for suddenly says another persons name. She is confused, angry, and scared. Its natural for her not to press it right away for fear of the losing her first love.

Story wise mimi is a tool for us to learn the papika backstory, I imagine we get it in the next ep
>>
>>150571234
Or is this a cultural difference that we stinky gaijin can't understand?
>>
>>150571234
I think the buildup to the Mimi mystery is sloppy. But in general I don't mind Cocona's passivity and lack of curiosity because it enhances the reserved nature of the show I mentioned.

>>150571261
>so they are clearly building everything up for one final moment of resolution.
I'm looking forward to that.
> She is confused, angry, and scared. Its natural for her not to press it right away for fear of the losing her first love.
This makes sense to me, and I prefer it over another show that might just go straight into exposition. It led to exploring her relationship with Yayaka in the process so that was nice.
>>
>>150571165
Cocona asks plenty of questions but she hardly ever gets any real answers. For instance, she asks Salt how many fragments they need to get, and Salt goes on some rant about friction between worlds.

With the Mimi thing, the first time Papika just said the word Mimi, and Cocona was like "Mimi?". Papika probably got out of it right after that, and had no idea what she just said.

The second time Papika directly refers to Cocona as Mimi, which bothers the hell out of her, but she doesn't bring it up directly because she's worried/angry. (She does try to several times, but she's not being as direct as she needs to be.)

The third time Cocona comes right out and asks who the fuck Mimi is.

It's a very logical progression.
>>
>>150571285
I mean, it's such a common occurence in anime, a character doesn't ask for information that could be vital to them making informed decisions, but they just don't. Naota in FLCL did the same thing, countless other examples.

I always chalked it up to not having time to show certain things in the show, but this is too persistent a pattern to ignore.

Do the Japanese not want to ask questions and be informed about what's going on around them? Does their behavior make sense in a cultural context?
>>
>>150571234
I don't see why that's supposed to be so bad, Cocona has never shown a huge interest in prying into people's secrets because she's so shy herself.

In episode 7 it was just a random mention and she lets it go.
In 8 Papika calls her Mimi and it causes a big relationship crisis.
In 9 it happens again and that time she does ask.

It's really not that bad to be honest.
>>
>>150571337
>Do the Japanese not want to ask questions and be informed about what's going on around them?

In most anime its lazy writing, in this series it related to the characters and how they feel. It makes sense within the context of the story
>>
>>150571357
Yeah, I agree now come to think of it-- those questions that she DOES ask are why I said that she behaved somewhat realistically.

But my question still stands.
>>
>>150571323
>>150571357
When you explain it this way it does sound a lot better. I think I just prefer if it weren't used as the cliffhanger three episodes in a row.

>For instance, she asks Salt how many fragments they need to get, and Salt goes on some rant about friction between worlds.
Moments like these that come far and few in between where she actually asks important questions are great since she does it so rarely. Also where they ask Hidaka about what the whole fucking PI actually is.
>>
>>150571337
Everything that needs to be explained in the show is explained, jesus christ you guys. Just because Cocona does sit Papika down and ask a million questions about how PI works--and Papika doesn't know anyway, Salt won't give her a straight answer, Hidaka's answers are incomprehensible--doesn't mean she doesn't ask any questions at all. She does.

This seems to be a common occurrence in these threads, people complaining about show elements where it makes you wonder if they even watch the fucking show.

The show doesn't have long monologues of expository material but it doesn't have Cocona be willfully ignorant of things either. You really want me to go through the episodes and point out every time she asks questions trying to get answers? Hell, in episode 1 she's constantly asking Papika what PI is.
>>
>>150571407
Yeah, it's pretty much the cliffhanger use that makes it stick out so much. You have to keep in mind that a cliffhanger for the audience is not necessarily a cliffhanger for the characters.
>>
>>150571421
>people complaining about show elements where it makes you wonder if they even watch the fucking show.

I really think its just exposure to different kids of story telling. Depending on how well read or what films you watch you can either be exposed a bunch to this style or have no experience at all.

This method is not used a whole lot in anime so I think a lot of people are just having trouble getting used to it. They are expecting it to work one way and it works different then expected
>>
>>150571323
>The second time Papika directly refers to Cocona as Mimi, which bothers the hell out of her
Actually her reaction makes more sense if all those jokes about saying someone's name during sex had actually been true. It was probably metaphorical.
>>
>>150571357
I'm more frustrated that each episode just raises more questions without ever giving answers. At this rate there's gonna be one episode that wont do anything except be a massive exposition dump.
>>
>>150571507
Especially after her newfound confidence in display during that episode. She looked like she had finally resolved her own arc regarding her feelings towards Papika.

If you are expecting that you are watching the wrong series. The show is very clearly showing you what is happening instead of telling you.

Don't just listen to the characters but look at their interactions with PI and each other. All their feelings are out on display each time they enter
>>
>>150571519
This one point is very specifically about how the show DOESN'T raise "more" questions because it raises the same question three times in a row.
>>
>>150571519
If it's done artfully (as in not just explained directly by one person all at once) I don't really mind. Also there are four episodes left so that's a lot of time.
>>
>>150571519
We've gotten a ton of answers already. We pretty much know how PI works and we know everything that happens. Like, Grandma is clearly a plant for KKK, we know Yayaka's backstory, the KKK runs hospitals, KKK implanted Cocona with a tracking device, etc.

Oh, you mean we don't have answers for the main mystery of the show yet, the one mystery they've built up, and we don't have any answers to that because it's clearly going to be revealed in the final arc?

Excuse Flip Flappers for not revealing the answer to the main mystery halfway through.

Fuck you and people like you, if you had it your way Flip Flappers would be like every other shitty anime that infodumps nearly every episode.
>>
>>150571555
>raises the same question three times in a row.
Flip Flap's real goal, and Papika's past has been a mystery since the beginning. They're only further complicating the mystery by showing 2 second clips of Mimi.
Meanwhile Cocona's dream has gone nowhere all season.
>>
>>150571663
>Flip Flap's real goal
>Papika's past
>Mimi
>Cocona's dream

they're all related and tied to the same thing
If anything bringing up Mimi actually shed a bit of light on the other three.
>>
>>150571623
>Grandma is clearly a plant for KKK
>the KKK runs hospitals
These are speculative actually. As I mentioned earlier in the thread I got the impression that the KKK were trying to avoid the suspicion of whoever runs the hospitals.
>>
People act like there's this HUGE amount of information that we have to be told, but that's really not the case. Sure, we don't know a lot about a whole bunch of people/concepts (Mimi/Salt/Asclepius/Cocona's backstory/Fragments), but that is probably all the same thing and can be explained in a 5 minute flashback if necessary.

Hell, people post their theories in like 5 lines of greentext all the time, don't tell me that 4 episodes cannot possible be enough to get into it.
>>
>>150571663
>Flip Flap's real goal, and Papika's past has been a mystery since the beginning.

That is part of the core of the story, those things will be resolved when the story ends. Mimi is part of the papika story. Solving one will solve the other.

Cocona investigating mimi will solve the mystery and strengthen the relationship between cocona and papika. If they just told you who mimi was you lose all that growth and development
>>
>>150571701
A good story does not literally tell you every single detail in a long dump of exposition. The KKK link is clear by the way they draw and position the doctors in the hospital and the KKK members standing over the girls.

Its using the visual part of the medium to give you some information while the audio gives you other parts
>>
>>150571623
No anon. This stupid mystery box shit is bad story telling. Its why the bulk of anime have terrible endings. They're too busy wrapping up all their lose ends in the last episode to actually complete their characters.
>>
>>150571753
Mystery box is only bad if you make it up as you go along. This isn't Lost, I am fairly certain that the staff know how to end it.
>>
>>150571704
Yeah, considering how well the show handles its emotional story beats in such a succinct amount of time, I can see them easily covering everything necessary about Mimi, Salt, Papika, etc. in only half an episode while still keeping the plot moving. I imagine Cocona is going to go into a deeper level of PI to figure out what happened to Papika or something like that.

Yayaka's backstory was crammed into the second half of episode 9 and it still worked brilliantly.
>>
>>150571753
You'd change your mind if they actually provided a satisfying answer to this mystery.

Not saying they will for sure, but we don't know at this point yet. Also what this guy said >>150571704
>>
>>150571829
>my head canon suggests they'll wrap this up nicelly
>>
>>150571704
>explained in a 5 minute flashback if necessary.
I kind of hope they don't do this, but I wouldn't mind pieces. Honestly there's a lot of stuff that could be answered by single still frames at this point. Like showing where the girl in the first episode was actually at.
>>
>actual good discussion
>past bump limit and thread about to die
every time
fuck you faggots
>>
>>150571882
>Like showing where the girl in the first episode was actually at.

She was at the FliFla lab, they had the same setup for enter PI. The KKK uses the stargate to enter PI
>>
>>150571745
>>150571701
And honestly, whether they run hospitals or not (I think they do, the name Asclepius is too obvious) it doesn't matter, at least not yet. That's just a fun bit of exposition you have to dig for, even if it is kind of shallow.

Really, FF's narrative has been absolutely perfect up until now. The only thing anyone seems to have a legitimate complaint about seems to be the use of the Mimi cliffhanger three times in a row-- on repeated viewings, where we don't have to wait a week between episodes, this won't even be a complaint anymore, and won't detract from the series' amazingness at all.
>>
>>150571931
But why is that lab out in the woods, when FF HQ is in the city.
>>
>>150571982
Like, everything's gotta be somewhere, man.
>>
>>150571931
I think the very definite establishing shot with people actually moving distances is a better argument than a single shot of a more or less generic-looking closet.
>>
In fact, there's only one question that really matters, I think. What did the "World conquest" by Yayaka in ep4 mean? This was a quite silly line when we first heard in the show. Once this is revealed there will be no major problems any more.
>>
>>150572039
You are right

I just don't understand why people keep trying to invent mystery and want explanations for things that are irreverent.

The story is established at this point they are not going to be introducing yayaka cyborgs or secret government factions, Its pointless and would take time away from our characters
>>
>>150571835
There will inevitably be a few loose threads, and a few people who hate the show for it.

Probably involves using the PI to affect the real world in some way. Relates to the deeper layer and what Salt said about there being friction.
>>
>>150571931
>She was at the FliFla lab
Papika is seen flying over a forest towards a city at the end of her escape scene, and later on we see that this forest actually contains KKK headquarters.

So maybe they were there for some reason.
>>
>>150572108
The discrepancies between episode 1 and 2 is not irrelevant.
>>
What happened to [GJM-DDY]? Did they drop this show?
>>
>>150572163
Its Pure Illusion, just like everything else one world effects another
>>
>>150572134
I kinda hate Buu-chan, but this is still an awesome picture.
>>
>>150572111
I guarantee a few people will hate the show no matter how it ends.

In fact if it's able to produce a strong hateful reaction then that's a better conclusion than a boring one that incites no one's interest or emotion. Controversial endings tend to take on a different meaning over time. That's my preference over a boring ending that wraps up everything but never tried to challenge anyone's expectations.
>>
>>150572215
boring end>eva rip off end
>>
>>150572163
Yes, but what happened between episodes 1 and 2 is one of the very small number of things we actually definitely have to know about.

It's basically:
1. What happened between episodes 1 and 2?
2. What is Salt's motivation and who is Mimi? (based on what we know, very likely to be the same thing)
3. Who is Cocona really and why is she important?

All the rest, even who Asclepius is and what PIs are and whatnot, is not strictly something I feel like I have to know.
>>
>>150572248
Both would suck.
>>
>>150572273
>don't need to know the main antagonists motive
Why even bother watching?
>>
>>150572205
>I kinda hate Buu-chan
What?
>>
>>150572248
Just because the ending of a series evokes strong emotion does not make it an eva ripoff. The comparison only works insofar as you can treat both works as something worthy of discussion.
>>
>>150572215
>I guarantee a few people will hate the show no matter how it ends.
People are already ready to hate the show solely if it doesn't end in Papika and Cocona getting married to each other, so this is true.
>>
>>150572306
Its about the characters, you will find out all that is necessary as we learn more and more about the characters.

Finding out about mimi will teach us about cocona and papika, same with the KKK. One complements the other
>>
>>150572306
Because we know already, it's "world domination" - i.e. the most generic excuse for a villain motivation. It's quite possible they'll just leave it at that because guess what, that is not what the show is about. It's about Cocona and what Asclepius wants is not relevant to Cocona's character story (probably).

I mean, I'd still take a good explanation over that. But I won't be mad if it stays where it is now.
>>
>>150572377
The "why" will probably come together with the reveal of who Asclepius's leader actually is. And then apart from that there's the "how" that will inevitably be explained once they have to confront the final boss.
>>
>>150572377
We're at least going to have to know what they've been doing with the fragments though. We don't have any indication it's the same thing Salt wanted to do.
>>
>>150572205
But... Bu-chan is Pops!
>>
>>150572347
Bad example since that's a perfectly rational attitude towards the show.
>>
>>150572421
>the "how" that will inevitably be explained once they have to confront the final boss.

What final boss, you mean some emotional conflict between the two main characters? There are no evil bosses in Flip Flappers, they are just manifestations of the characters feelings
>>
Anime never really ends very well. Half the time it's so forgettable I can't even really remember it. Here's hoping FF bucks the trend.
>>
>>150572428
I really don't want to harp on this point too much because I'd much prefer an interesting explanation, but we have no reason to assume they don't think getting all of them grants a wish (it's what pretty much everyone else seems to think), and that wish would be world domination.

It wouldn't be great, but it would be enough.
>>
>>150572377
>is not what the show is about
Then why the amorphous children?
Why are they collecting the shards? one of which is embedded inside Cocona.

You can't just write off the KKK and their PI shenanigans.
>>
>>150572543
True, but Salt puts his in a box. They merge theirs into a huge monument which we are explicitly shown happening a bunch of times
>>
>>150572473
It's also perfectly fine to have a bittersweet/non-happy ending as long as it's interesting and written well.
>>
They will reveal everything in season 2.
>>
>>150572273
>1. What happened between episodes 1 and 2?
I always assumed this was a troll meme. The details of that event could be important if the story does something with it, but they could easily be irrelevant.

The other two points I'd agree with but personally learning Papika's nature and history takes priority over all else.
>>
>>150572474
>What final boss
Obviously the leader of the organization whom we've seen time and again. There's definitely been focus on him including one where he's laughing in a sinister way.
>>
>>150572604
>You can't just write off the KKK and their PI shenanigans.

Yes you can, The story is about cocona, its all from her limited perspective. She may never no the true motivations behind the KKK so neither would we.

That is fine, stories don't have to explain every single detail. World domination may be sufficient
>>
>>150572679
>The story is about cocona,
And she has a shard in her thigh that the KKK wants badly. They've been keeping tabs on her since she was a child. Her childhood friend was their plant, her grandmother is possibly a plant too. For being just generic bad guys, they sure are fucking with Cocona's life an awful lot.
>>
>>150572768
and you can resolve her history and her shard without expanding the scope of their mission beyond world domination.

They want to use PI to create some frictionless world, Salt wants to stop them. That is more then sufficient
>>
>>150572471
Pops was Hidaka's avatar.

Buu is a pervy bastard with a brain full of gangbang doujins. He's the Happosai of FF. I hate characters like that.

Admittedly he can be cool sometimes and gets some great scenes. Still, annoying.
>>
>>150572815
Stop watching the show if you've already come up with your own ending.
I guarantee what they write will not be as satisfying as what's in your head.
>>
>>150572931
If you can't tell, we're tempering expectations here and creating worst-case scenarios. We're not trying to create our own fanfic ending, we're speculating on how much we actually need to know to not be disappointed.
>>
I hope we get an intense scene where the KKK activates some shit.
>>
>>150572679
Kinda agree with this, but Cocona has been fully involved in all of their plans. If we heavily focus on these organizations then Cocona may lost her protagonist status somehow for a whlie. It's fun to see how the show would do this from her perspective.
>>
>>150572966
>we're tempering expectations here
That's a far cry from this anon's >>150571938
statement that Flip Flap has been absolutely perfect
>>
>>150573122
I think it has been "perfect" too, to a degree - they've just been playing their hand so close to their chest that a satisfying narrative conclusion relies more and more on the ending, which isn't something you can trust anime with. If they execute it well, it would be perfect all the way through, but if they fumble it, it would be Kyousougiga.
>>
>>150572894
I know, I really wish they didn't have to have cliche characters like the "perverted Ojiisan" in every god damned anime. I just pretend those scenes don't happen, and Bu is an awesome character to me as a result.

I mean, he shows concern for others, is at least somewhat devoted to FF's mission (seeing how he tried to reach the shard in ep 9). But then the scene in episode 3 where he sees a bunch of restrained gimps and he's like "IMMA GET ME SOME" are just so annoying and incongruent.

I wouldn't mind him being perverted if it didn't disrupt the other aspects of his character, and make it difficult to have sympathy for him.

>Pops was Hidaka's avatar.
Pops is, I'm pretty sure, at least meant to be something related to Bu, maybe not Bu himself, but some kind of aspect, maybe even a combination of impressions the girls have of both Hidaka and Bu. He's is a cyclops, and one of his eyes matches Bu's-- that's a big hint.
>>
>>150573282
Pops eyes match buu's default eye color and body paint, but they also match Hidaka's shirt.
>>
>>150547358

I wonder whose mind was that PI.
>>
>>150573453
Which one in the show watches animu?
>>
>>150572894
Honestly, making the pervert character into the voiceless harmless mascot was a brilliant move.
