PLOT was a mistake. Let's just say the show ends at episode 9.
>>
I liked the last episode.
>>
>>151581260
But the last few episodes were great while the worst 2 episodes were 7 and 4
>>
There were good ideas but they were put together very poorly by the end.
>>
Did it have a yuri end?
>>
I agree, the show was a lot better when everything was mysterious and unexplained. The worst part is that the revelations from the latter episodes kinda ruin the earlier ones.
>>
>>151581260
The only parts that felt particularly bad to me were the end of episode 12 and episode 13. I actually thought episode 10 was fine.
>>
>tfw the not even top 3 this season actually became real
>>
i should've stopped at the mad max episode
>>
I didn't pick this up because I was following more series than I had time for. Should I watch it now that it's done? Or was it only fun because you guys watched it together?
>>
>>151581260
DESU this show should've just been a one shot OVA based off of episode 3, since that's the only episode people care about.

Watch three episodes and decide for yourself.

I think the early episodes were pure magic, they fucked it up in later episodes by adding drama that got nowhere. But it's still a nice series.
>>

you mean when the show loses all direction?

but ripping off eva is a direction

There were other things that ripped off Eva like the mecha world but in general it was not ripping off Eva.

To be fair, Super Lovers is indeed extremely creepy to a degree few other shows can even dream of. This drama is extra funny because now Super Lovers ultrafujos are now all "you're clearly just a HOMOPHOBE, Mr. Jacob 'Yuri on Ice is basically the best anime in forever' Chapman."

Basically a gigantic anime bumfight.

She actually says something more along the lines of "It's ok, as long as I'm always your number one," so I sort of took it as being permission from here to move on (with Sayuri maybe,) so long as he always holds her as the love of his life in his heart.

They may love each other but unless they like exchanging mail through their daughter, they're basically separated forever.

At some point Mimi has to appreciate the fact that Salt has needs and she can't fulfill them unless she uses her daughter's body. Better just to face reality and cede that ground now.

It was a fun ride guys. I dont understand why some are disappointed- we had a few episodes of tragedy, but managed to secure a good end in a way that made sense. Aside from a few pacing and animation issues in the last couple of episodes, the show is more or less flawless.

I am going to miss it. I just want more. I am not ready to leave Papika and Cocona behind me. Its sad that these threads are going to fade away soon. I miss it all already.

Thank you all for everything. This was honestly the best time I have had on this board in years, and the best anime I have seen in about the same timespan.

I love love LOVE Flip Flappers!

>>151585330
If I didn't have /a/ to explain freudian unbirthing, jungian dream archetypes, fire codes, obscure references to classical art and japanese literature, the menstrual cycle and nalclippers, I probably wouldn't have understood this show, either.

In fact I still didn't really understand episodes 6 and 7 until yesterday's discussion.
>>
>>151585145
For me I felt like the landing was pretty good. Salt and Mimi Closure, Cocona and Papika confession was top tier, as was the pipe reunion scene, and the subsequent OVER THE RAINBOW end sequence. The Mimi battle was also neat.

It covered all its bases, while confirming that everyone gets to live happily ever after and go on more adventures together. It was a happy end. While it didn't bring the feels, it was heartwarming in a nice way. The sequence of non stop "Fuck you!" to possible bad ends in the second half was also nice.

>>151585436
You don't really need any of that to understand the show.

>>151585466

>>151585418
You can expect a better product all you want, but at the end of the day, most anime have shit endings. It's not excusing anything, because it's still detracting from the total enjoyment of the series like every other anime with a shit end.
As it is, the earlier episodes are good enough to make up for this particular bad end, most anime do not have that luxury.
>>
>>151585436
huh, I started the show the week before christmas and marathoned 1-11. I had no issue understanding anything at all and was surprised to find people confused.

Thats right, she shot the gun! I don't understand why anyone is upset unless they really wanted a tragic ending for some reason- or maybe they wanted to have some heavy feels to validate their enjoyment/love for the show?

I mean, I want a kissu too! But aside from that, improved animation (BDs will get that) and maybe some extended scenes (because I love the show and want to see more and am greedy for whatever I can get) this episode was great all around.

The only serious misstep this show ever had was episode 12s last 3-4 minutes, which really felt rushed for the content it was handling.

Everything about this show has been almost perfect. Some of the best I have seen in years. For a debut work, this is nothing short of incredible. Oshiyama is going to produce some amazing masterpieces in the next 10 years or so if he keeps this up.
>>
>>151585478
I probably wouldn't have really connected all of the little details about Cocona's character being related to fears of change and anxiety about growing up were it not for all that imagery tying things together, contextualizing her reactions.

The imagery was really the glue that held everything together. Understanding it made other things fall into place and allowed the show to be so much more than the sum of its parts
>>
>>151581260
Flip Flappers is a good example of a show with decent themes, good production, but horrible direction.

It feels like the team behind it loosely knew what they wanted to make, but the studio needed them to rush it out the door for some reason. The themes were also wild and all over the place, highly indicative that they were working with a very rough draft for the story.

Could've been an AotY candidate if they took more time making it. Maybe a 2 cour alternating between Pure Illusion adventures and flashbacks explaining the plot instead of having 9 episodes of adventures and then then have the last third be an infodump.

S/M with Yayaka as Chicken-chan is the literal Yayaka route. You're gonna get Uexkull, Cocona is going to leave with her mom's best friend and you get to hang out around the island like a loser.
>>
>>151585598
It's not fucking unbirthing, it's more about understanding strong maternal instincts. Mimi allows herself to be consumed by her desire to protect Cocona and this warps Pure Illusion due to her majority control of it.

Yeah okay calm down. I understand securing funding for a risky arthouse project like Flip Flappers is probably pretty fucking hard.

But they could have at least refined the script a bit better, regardless of whether or not it was intended to be 1 or 2 cours. As it is now the themes are barely conveyed to the viewer and we have a ton of untapped potential that could have made FF into an Ikuhara-tier experience.

>>
What exactly did Salt achieve or hope to achieve by entering PI through the ELPIS machine?

I understand that he eventually shot his alternate self, choosing not to switch with him and change his past, but that was more of an extra reason for having gone there. Or rather his alternate self was just something in the way of his real goal--which was?

On of the main points of Cocona's development was gaining the courage to make decisions despite the possibility of failure (making mistakes).

Through Salt and Mimi this episode illustrates two opposite ways of dealing with wrong decisions. evil!Mimi's reaction, once she admitted she was wrong, was to lash out and try to destroy every consequence of her mistaken decision to start anew. Even during the scene she lies in the water she expresses the desire to simply undo her decision. Salt, on the other hand, decides to stick to his decisions even if he recognizes as a mistake. Instead of destroying the present that sprouted from his decisions, he attempts to turn it into a better future.

This ties into good!Mimi's words in episode 12 about how everyone was afraid of failure, including herself and Salt.This episode dealt with how they coped with that.
>>
>>151586058
So this show was kind of like Lain, where the Wired ended up becoming superimposed over reality via subliminal radio messaging.

Pure Illusion is like that, it's a "layer" over reality where things can pass between them under certain circumstances. If impedance fucks up, PI starts to leak into reality.

ELPIS allows the user to create ANOTHER layer like PI above PI. But this process seems to be incredibly taxing on the subject without granting full control of PI, so the KKK scrapped it.

Salt was willing to use it to gain temporary control over regular PI even if it meant risking his life.

When Mimi goes wacko and tried to kill him part of her stops the flowers. He helped convince a part of Mimi that the Cocona needs to go free and live her life. You could argue it was this that allowed Papika and Cocona to beat Mimi, she was convinced by Salt to let them go

I understand that concept, and find it really cool.
But, how was that used to win or change the course of the battle? It looked to me like Cocona and Papika won on their own, or at least evil Mimi lost by saying "fuck it, I'll destroy everything" before giving up in the depressed river.
How did Salt use his new PI layer to help defeat evil Mimi? I know that was his PI that they went to at the end, but that was after the conflict was over basically.
>>
>>151586387
I think the deeper you go into PI the more things blur together and the less separation between self and other forces of the collective unconscious becomes apparent. Basically the further you go in, the more you influence it, and the more it influences you. The deeper you go, the more it all mixes together. Sort of like a more controlled version of everyone becoming tang in End of Evangelion. Where the mixing of consciousness only occurs in a limited sense based on how deep you go, and who it is that you are going deep into.
>>
>>151586387
Iro probably regretted not saying goodbye to her auntie, Cocona and Papika actually managed to say goodbye to auntie, that lifted a weight of Iro's back who felt guilty all this time for not being able to say goodbye, wether they actually changed the past or it was just in Iro's mind I don't know, but yeah they actively changed her mind and were not mere spectators
>>
>>151586416
Think of the battle as just a visualization of the internal struggle of Mimi. Salt being present changed how she thought about the situation and therefore the the battle changed. When she "lost" was the moment her mind was changed and she accepted Cocona being free to make decisions.

Its not a fight, its an argument, and Papika and Cocona won by changing the mind of Mimi, with Salts help

rewatch it. They were surrounded in spooky forest made of demon things and losing. Then salt showed up and all of it blew away. Mimi freaked out and tried to stop salt, but then good mimi showed up and saved salt. By then the limits of what Salt could do were reached.

Papika and Cocona had their confession, and now with the power of zero impedance between them, they flew into Mimi's blackhole vagoo with all their power and it defeated her.

>>
Man, Salt is a badass.
>>
>>151586308
So, I guess what you're saying is that if Salt hadn't showed up, Mimi's good side might not have been able to help as much? I could see that, but she had already been sort of doing things on her own before then, and still didn't do much afterwards.
>>151586350
Okay, I somehow missed that when he first showed up, he transformed the vibrant background into all the dead trees (those representing his PI layer that he's transposing onto evil Mimi's?).

Now that I understand that Salt did overlap his PI earlier than I first thought, that basically means Evil Mimi gave up and "self-destructed" as a last resort because of him. Which makes my opinion of the episode go up by a lot.
>>
>>151586633
> its initial themes and core ideas

Well yeah, because those didn't amount to much anyway. KlK was all about "man this is going to become so meaningful any second now" and then it just never happened.

>>151586387
One side of Iro's personality became dominant because the other was dragged down by the traumatic memory of her encounter with Auntie's alzheimer's.

Cocona and Papika were essentially along for the ride and simply observing until the end, when they fell into the canyon. The change they made was they altered Iroha's memories, giving her a memory of telling Auntie their name and having her remember. This resolved the trauma tying down the upbeat side of Iroha's personality and swapped which side was dominant (blue swapped with orange).

Mimi's experience is like what Cocona and Papika observed. Mimi faced a traumatic experience that caused once side of her personality to become dominant as a way of coping with that experience. In Iroha, her trauma with Auntie shattered her happy (orange) persona and the blue took over. In Mimi, the traumatic theft of her child shattered the peaceful (Good Mimi) persona and the violent one took over. I suppose you can think of it as Mimi realizing that she couldn't keep her baby safe unless she was willing to use her powers aggressively to harm other people, but crossing that line also meant unleashing all of the other emotional baggage and pent-up aggression associated with her own horribly traumatic life. She had probably been repressing everything within her that Bad Mimi embodies because her friendship with Papika and romance with Salt made it worthwhile to try and love the world. Once the repression came down, it all came flooding out.

Just like Iroha's disposition hinged on the memory of Auntie, Mimi's disposition hinged on the safety of Cocona.

I was really underwhelmed with the entire second cour of KLK outside of one hype action sequence near the end (the one that had Gamagoori face blast and ended with the X-slash)

I found the entire second half of FLFL to be far more fulfilling and satisfying, even though none of its action scenes were as hype as a vast majority of KLK action sequences.

>>151586633
>klk did end up having a satisfying ending and managed to fulfill its initial themes and core ideas, though
What? The ending of KLK was almost completely disconnected from most of the story until Ragyou beat the shit out of her and Satsuki at Honnouji.

KLK's was easily one of the most disappointing endings in recent memory.
>>
>>151586416
Salt temporarily hijacked PI by dipping into it from the DPI created by ELPIS, preventing Mimi from nuking everything. He also used his power to salvage the "real" Mimi to confront evil Mimi. This presumably made an opening for Papika and Cocona to strike.

KlK's core theme was "just b urself lol". Which isn't too deep, it was supposed to be an over-the-top ecchi/action series anyways. Shedding the life fibers and graduating led to the cast being able to wear clothes besides their uniforms. It was a really fucked up coming of age story about finding your own tastes and identity in life.

Also imperal-era Japan allegory about not just mindlessly following the governing body because they're powerful. It was kinda supposed to be a wakeup call that social rebellion is something you should embrace if you're being repressed.

take it from someone who misses KLK greatly, it is a fucking trainwreck at the end. the writing is shocking and nothing the MC set out to achieve was actually achieved. ryuko was just a passive actor while every plot driver died on their own terms for whatever reason

the ultimate kick in the balls was the 'my planet needs me now' death of senketsu at the end. they turned a meh ending into a terrible one, where her best friend fucking dies , and within 20 seconds she completely forgets it and is embraced by her sister. then boom, show over. no time to wind down, nevermind the 6 or so filler episodes that served to make me resent the existance of mako and the elite 4. around half of the characters don't deserve any screen time.

overall, im just frustrated at the lost potential. the first 3 episodes were great, then it was a slow steady decline. mako should be benched as her power of friendship deus ex machina shit just kills the plot. but this isn't the thread for that.

And i fucking hate the KLK fans. they are always saying 'oh just take it at face value, its just a zany, fast paced adventure', but if I do, whats the point of watching it for low quality animation and fanservice. they actually had something workable that they botched and the fans dont seem to give a shit.

Here is mine:

11 > 9 > 13 > 7 = 6 = 8 = 1 = 4 > 12 > 5 = 3 > 10 > 2

By the way, 11 I consider a 10/10 episode and 2 I consider an 8/10 episode. So even the worst episode is still really good imo. 12 would have been lower than 2, buy Yayaka henshin and MUSCLE boosts it up way higher than it deserves to be.

Imagine Uexküll gently embracing Yayaka with his strong arms. Holding her so close that she can feel his body heat radiating through his thick soft fur. Then carefully pushing Yayaka down with his body and slowly sliding his bunnycock inside her. Uexküll would try to go really slow at first since it is Yayaka's first time but his animal urges would quickly take over. His thrusting speed wouldkeep growing faster as Yayaka's slightly pained but ecstatic moans grow louder. Then both of their bodies would suddenly get stiff as Uexküll makes his final deep thrust inside. He would fold his ears back and his body would gently vibrate as he freely empties his bunnycum inside Yayaka. Later Yayaka's mind would be confused with the feelings of amazing pleasure and small fear of getting pregnant for this strong bunny man. But deep inside she would love the thought of giving birth to Uexküll's half bunny children.

I feel like KLK fans are heavily divided between people who liked Mako and people who hated Mako. But that liking/disliking of her also directly correlates to liking/disliking other aspects of the show.

I agree that it was more than a zany action show. There are clearly layers of themes and ideas in KLK, some of which aren't explored as deeply as others. I agree it went off the rails a little over halfway through, but I also think that they got it back on track in time for the ending.

I liked Mako. Her existence was important, especially as Ryuko's motivation shifted from "muh vengeance" to becoming a legitimate hero she needed external encouragement. Ryuko wouldn't be able to stand on her own without a supporting character like Mako to back her up, both in a narrative sense and a sense of Ryuko as a person.

Senketsu's death was necessary to tie into the idea of the loss of life fibers, loss of uniforms, and ultimately the graduation from school which symbolized the characters' coming of age.

The only thing I found emotionally engaging during the final arc was Mimi trying to keep people from taking her Cocona away. Episodes 12 and 13 were just blah. Also seems like they hand-waved too much of the stuff that needed to be explained.

Afraid I can't give this anime more than a 9.75/10.

There is nothing worse than the cognitive dissonance of "this is a flawless 10/10 masterpiece" combined with "hey man it's just a fun anime ok? just enjoy the ride." You can't have both. If it's supposed to be a work of art then it needs to withstand deeper analysis.

Did Oshiyama cram too much ideas into the second half and have trouble fully fleshing out those ideas?

I feel like in the second half Papika and Cocona are not as well developed as Yayaka and Salt/Mimi. The main duo didn't have the screen time they deserve.

Cocona had too much time being passive or totally incapacitated and her growth was finished in very short time. I had hoped her growth would be more pronounced and shown in greater detail and not just subtle visual cues. One endearing point of growth I found is when at the end Cocona was actively making demands on Papika. Only if she was given more time to show more of this.

Papika's motivation and wish stayed vague and static. She loved Cocona and she still loves Cocona so what makes her different now, what is her growth? (Her growth in the first half was her becoming more considerate of Cocona's feelings.) Her main conflict in the second half was to deal with the regained memories of Mimi but the resolution of that was simply "I want you both!", not very satisfying. More unfortunately in the whole time her agency was also being partially usurped by Yayaka and goodMimi making her basically useless. The only thing she managed was never giving up protecting Cocona, which somehow shows her perseverance but it's kind of static characterization.

I quite like the Salt/Mimi plotline. Salt was eventually a redeemed badass. Mimi was given extreme characterization of duality. The problem is Papika/Cocona were reactive in their interaction with Salt/Mimi making this plotline kind of disconnected from the main duo's growth.

I care deeply about the main duo. Is it that my expectation was wrong or is there anything more that could have been done for them?

I actually kind of prefer this these days. Spending too much time explaining stuff that doesn't matter is a waste. Just like how a cute girl with great ZR can be better than a naked one, sometimes letting your brain fill in the details for you is better than the truth.
>>
So what exactly were the mistakes Salt was atoning for? Choosing not to flee with Mimi is the obvious one, but what else?
Does he regret trying to "revive" Mimi by bringing together the shards because he realizes that it ultimately brought out her evil side and that it's really impossible to truly "revive" her? It seems that she's stuck in PI now no matter what happens.

Although, at the end of the episode, Salt seems to still be working with the Flip Flap group, and we know that Mimi still exists in PI, so does he still plan on meeting her there? I guess he thinks there's no chance of evil Mimi coming back? Otherwise he wouldn't be doing nearly the same thing that he just atoned for, right? ("reviving" or at least trying to be with Mimi again, I mean.)

There's a fine line between leaving something up to audience interpretation, and leaving something unexplained when you had implied that it was going to have an explanation at some point. There are times when it seems like the coward's way out. I'm afraid that's how I feel about some of Flip Flappers' loose ends. Like they didn't want to bother wrapping everything up, or didn't give themselves enough time to.

On one hand it works mostly because her mindset is simple to begin with (that of a dog's). But I do wish we had gotten more insight into her thinking process anyway.

Also learning specifically what her wish was would've been nice, even though it's most likely just Mimi's wish or otherwise "I want Cocona to meet her family".

I think this ending is going to haunt me for a long time. It reminded me of the ending of Life of Pi. Any of you anons ever read that?

The fact that they suddenly came out and showed this hypothetical "realistic world" that Cocona lived in, and then just ripped it away like "no, just kidding." But I mean, what we saw seemed real. The implication was that it was realer than reality. And then it was just left ambiguous like a "just kidding" thing.

But that rabbit is going to be burned into my head. Uexkull being a real rabbit that exists. Bu-chan being a real piece of machinery that people actually use. And those black uniforms.

lol, just go check steam and see the "Overwhelmingly Positive" reviews for any anime game.

The bar is so low across the board in both the west and the east that you won't ever get some serious character development and satisfaction from a series ending. Stuff like KLK puts me off watching more of the newer shows, and i particularly hate it when the anime is screened before the manga, not allowing for any sort of plot exploration between the different formats.

The 90s animes (and I particularly like Trigun for this) wraps things up rather nicely and I love how they divvied up the 2 cour into a 'character development phase' and an 'action phase'. Set it rather nicely that there are 2 entities fighting for their ideals and we are left with a believable villain rather than the 'I am evil because I am evil' bullshit with Nui and Ragyo.

Also, if they plan on killing a major character, they should at least let the viewers reflect on the change brought upon this rather than just muck it and end the show a minute later. I wonder how badly this hurt their aspirations of a further series--im not entirely sure how KLK fared in Japan, but recalling the old threads, /a/ exploded so I assume they had the option for further development.

The whole ending was very existential, just like in Lain. We're shown that Pure Illusion can have multiple layers and those layers can intersect with each other. We're shown that the world that the shows portrays as "reality" is actually just another layer of Pure Illusion. And there are more "real" layers as you go further down.

But the characters end up disregarding this because they're fine with living in the reality that they're in. They have their own personal struggles to deal with, so why bother sitting around sulking about what's real and what's not? That's part of the message of the series, I think. To just ignore those intrusive thoughts and enjoy life for what it is.

>The implication was that it was realer than reality.

The only reason that bleak Pure Illusion seemed "realer" to you is because it's our reality, what we perceive as being real since we exist in it. Your expectations of what is and isn't truly real doesn't apply to Flip Flappers since to Cocona, Papika and the other characters, their reality is the colorful and vibrant world with green rabbits and magical hoverboards. It was done for a bait and switch and they nailed it since we were so invested in whether or not Cocona would ever see Papika again or she would be relegated to this nightmarish landscape. If she showed up in her usual world sans Papika, it wouldn't have nearly as much an effect. They explicitly state they're finding the exit to the PI and you see them exiting the black ooze far into the sky. Their world is real to them and ours is real to us.

I honestly just want to sit in the same room as the writers and say 'but thats a shit idea!'. From what I heard, the original script was torn up around the 12th episode so they were left scrambling after that.

It could have been a cute love story about a witch and her princess, a cool show about a witch fighting the Nazi army, or a neat show about a princess with a witch finding herself at the center of global politics and having to deal with that and the conspiracies it entails.

>>151587802
I'm saying it operates on a level other than just bait and switch. The reason it's creepy is because it's bringing realism into a very surrealistic setting. Of course that has to do with personal perspective because that's the world we as viewers occupy.

KLK juxtaposes a lot of actual themes and ideas with silly overblown anime tropes, and this can be really fucking confusing and mislead people into thinking it's just a mindless action show.

Nudist Beach were basically made out to be jobbers from the moment Kamui or even 3-star uniforms were introduced. The only thing they had was the literal Chekhov's gun which may have just been a meta-joke to begin with.

And Mako is pretending to be retarded (I think). Her goal is to motivate Ryuko and act as a support pillar for her to fall back on when things get tough.

>From what I heard, the original script was torn up around the 12th episode so they were left scrambling after that.
Yeah, I heard that they were basically just writing as they went along from about halfway through to near the end. I still stand by the belief that the ending tied up loose threads and managed to bring closure to the themes and ideas of the series, though. At least as best as they could do given the circumstances.

This gives a little bit of insight into Mako and hopefully is considered canon because it would definitely mean her retardation is fake.

* Nichijoufags complaining it's not like Nichijiou
* Freefags complaining it's not gay

There are a lot of problems with the last arc of this show.

It actually might be the best yuri show I've seen. Mostly because shows about actual yuri romance that delivers are awful, but that doesn't mean Papika and Cocona's love wasn't really beautiful and a joy to watch.

She simply had all hope for love crushed by cold hard truth. She might not be straight, but she'll certainly take a dick because at this point a dick is all that'll take her.
>>
>>151588208
I don't know, it feels as though the majority of complaints about a Haruhi sequel have been contained to the anniversary threads where we regularly have our hopes shattered into tiny little pieces that are hastily glued together before the next year for it to happen again. There are a few threads here and there about general whining but it's hardly as volatile as you describe.

Actually, do K-ON and Lucky Star fans actually expect anything anymore? Especially after the K-ON movie and Miyakawa-ke no Kuufuku?

I agree. The yuri romance of PapiCoco has not a single bit of pandering to the audience. It's true and pure to it own. The only other thing at this level I can think of is YKA but its delivery is much more pretentious than FLFL.

YKA is also more about yuri as a concept and less about particular characters. That show is so abstract that I couldn't even see the characters as people anymore.

Even most love stories are awful. For instance, I remember Kyokai no Kanata being a very convoluted mess of a story that ended up centering on its romance, but it didn't grow and it just ended up being left there without any development.

In Flip Flappers you can see Cocona and Papika grow in regards to each other every episode as characters, it's really beautiful. In the end they both are blushing during the pipe scene because at this point they're in love.

Is it the consensus that the final "realistic" PI was the result of Salt bring his extra layer with him onto the one that the majority of the episode took place in before, essentially making it "his" PI? It makes sense, considering Papika stayed behind with Mimi there, and the "realistic" PI was still where they were at the end.
I remember someone mentioning that moths have been connected to Salt before, but I can't remember when/if that had been the case.
>>
>>151588416
YKA was also more about transcending social structures in general, and just used lesbianism as an almost arbitrary stand-in for any transgressive identity counterculture. It made Foucoult's point poorly because it relied so heavily on paring down the public ideological framework that it was a patent misrepresentation, a glorified strawman acting evil and unreasonably for the sake of making a point and constructing drama that was as contrived as its antagonists motivation. Ikuhara crutched hard on his experience in stage production and it showed in an unfavourable light.

I won't just call YKA's delivery of the romance pretentious. I'd say that the romance itself was actively compromised by the work's attempt to be overtly political in its message, which was clearly of such great priority to the creator that he let the holistic focus become undermined by the ambivalent tension between the disparate ideas the work was presenting.

>>
>>151588622
My interpretation is that the entire series takes place in a PI, the ones they travel to are more abstract PI "above" the standard FliFla reality, and the one Cocona gets sent to is actually a PI "below" the baseline reality and closer to the real world that we live in. How she got sent downwards is uncertain to me.

>I have watched it. My worst fears while watching FLFL has always been if PapiCoco were Yuki/Megumi 2.0....

School live hit me really hard with the feels in those parts man. Despite FLFL never really hitting me in the feels as hard as stuff like that, I like it more and connect with the characters more? I dont know why. Like parts of School live almost made me tear up. But FLFL never brought me close to tears, but I feel such a strong and warm connection to the FLFL characters that I want to see more of them than I do anything school-live.

I don't know what this warm feeling is. Its foreign and I am scared of it. Why the hell do I love a finale that didn't make me sad or hype? Instead I am just left with this really warm and nice feeling that I cant get rid of and wont go away. I just want to see more of them. I don't want them to leave me.

I unironically enjoyed Kyokai no Kanata. Especially that one episode. You know which one.

>>151588567
I'm pretty sure Ikuhara is just insane and gets progressively more insane as time goes on. There's literally a quote from him years back saying that he prefers yuri over heterosexual romance because it's less intrusive to the overall story of a work. Then he goes and makes a story where the entire focus is yuri. So who the fuck knows.

That's the problem, the average romance is shit these days. It's either melodrama or a harem shit show full of cliches and character archetypes that don't change.

I can't wait for the Citrus anime to air. That manga is like a comedy you've seen a million times and you know the hilarious punchline is coming with every twist. People will appreciate a love like Flip Flappers after that.
>>
>>151588673
Yeah, I find that theory interesting, but it feels like it makes more sense for it to be Salt's since Papika and Mimi were still there, the final "twist" was that Cocona had stayed there as well. And we know that Salt had already partially transformed that PI into his own in the middle of the episode, so perhaps it had fully converted by the end.
>>151588698
Right, I'm still curious about the butterflies/moths, too. When were they shown as relating to Salt before? I just can't remember, not that I don't believe you.

I agree with you, but I love the show very much already for what it is. It is one of my GOATs right now.

But I think the issue with all the problems is that this show really should have been 2 cour. If this show was 2 cour, it would have had room to tackle everything it needed to and more.

>>151588754
As >>151588638 said, YKA isn't really about yuri. It uses the framework of a Marimite-style yuri story taken to ridiculous extremes to tell a broader story about societal pressures and bullying.

The only problem is that it's not very good at it and kinda falls apart because it overextends its metaphor in all sorts of wacky directions.

Episode 6 made me cry like a baby, and the shattered memory dome in episode 9 got my nose feeling a bit funny. Gakkou Gurashi was a great show that had a very consistent plot but ultimately it's not as memorable to me compared to FLFL, even though I'm one of those people who thought episode 11 and 12 were pretty underwhelming and honestly rather insulting compared to the masterpieces that were the rest of the episodes, especially the first half.

We can only hope the fan content will stay strong, or a miracle will happen and we might get an OVA.

Why did Salt's dad not just use ELPIS again if it gave him the ability to hijack PI anyways?
>>
>>151588754
>he prefers yuri over heterosexual romance because it's less intrusive to the overall story of a work.
This is very true though
Look at something like Symphogear.
Presenting a relationship in an ambiguous and plausibly deniable light allows you to give it a significant presence all through the narrative without romance ever becoming the focus or drawing attention away from other critical elements.

It's hard to do this with heterosexual romance because people are less tolerant of subtext and more hostile to a lack of resolution. If you include heterosexual romance in a work, it either always becomes invasive in order to receive enough development to satisfy the expectations of the audience, or it fails to meet those audience expectations and harms their enjoyment of the work as a whole.

A story like Flip Flappers probably wouldn't have been possible if one of the main two was male. It just introduces writing challenges that aren't present with subtle yuri.
>>
So, is there a list of which PI corresponds to each person?

>>151588744

>>151588793

It took a good manga and ruined it. The manga was far more moving than what the anime tried to do. I'm still sitting here pissed off at how the anime ended and that the shitty Namek University arc still isn't over.
>>
>>151588947
It's not really a line between yuri and heterosexual romance though, it's a line between platonic and sexual love. 90% of the time anime involving yuri relationships are platonic or at least non-sexual. It's completely possible to portray heterosexual couples who are primarily in platonic love but I guess people would just see that as weird compared to two girls.
>>
>>151588947
Another problem is lust. People are less likely to buy this nowadays but it's still easier to tell a "pure" love story between girls, with het romance there's always the question of "when do they fuck though? they totally wanna fuck" hanging over everything. I mean I'm getting pretty tired of these fucking sexless romances myself even if they're yuri, but I understand that it complicates any romantic subplot even more.

That too. It lessened significantly during the second half but scrambling to figure out the meaning behind everything was a lot of fun, even if a lot of theories ended up being Olympic gold level mental gymnastics. Other than Papika and Cocona being a lovely duo in their own right, reading how names, works and ideas applied to Flip Flappers had me invested in the series a great deal. It's going to be some time before we get a series like this again.

You'd still be lost even if it's the length of Detective Conan.
>>
>>151589687
Please don't ever show or upload it in public. It will be very embarrassing.
>>
>>151587514
Yup, that's exactly how I feel.
By the second half of the story, it seems the people in charge suddenly felt like developing the side-characters (mainly Yayaka, who was by far the most rounded character in the story, and also the one with the best scenes), at the cost of developing the main ones.

Cocona did develop throughout the story. You could tell how much she was growing when, during the mecha episode, she said she had an objective she wanted to accomplish - which was the polar opposite of the girl who had no motivations by ep1.
However, as soon as the Mimi plot got introduced, Cocona almost completely regressed and the way this issue was handled was rather poorly.

Papika was really the saddest case in the story, since she wasn't developed in the slightest. I mean, sure, she learned how to be more considerate of Cocona by ep2, but aside from that, she remained pretty much static and her character never really developed. Then they added some complications like her actually having being older but the for some reason she deaged, which no one in the story (especially Salt and Mimi - Yayaka and the people from the KKK also seemed to know of Papikana) EVER seems to try to address.
She was also given a wish, as to why she was collecting the Mimi shards, but that wish was never disclosed - and it cannot be related to Mimi, since at the time we learned she had a wish, her memories of Mimi had not returned.

One serious issue I think the story should have addressed was Another Bust. Sure, addressing that issue wouldn't advance the plot in any way, but that girl means innocent blood on the hands of the people that are the good guys we're supposed to root for.

My biggest issue was how both Papika and Cocona were almost completely denied any form of agency by the end, considering how Cocona's internal issue was mainly addressed by Good Mimi, and the reason Papika seemed to have got a chance to meet Cocona (after being deaged) was because Mimi willed so.

I think the point of that final "real world" PI was to show that Cocona changed. Rather than get suckered into going along with another PI, she wakes up and instantly gets to finding her waifu.
>>
>>151589565
Eh, I didn't really like the characters. Pink Leader irritated me more so than anything. Something about her just feels wrong, although I had a similar opinion of Cure Dream in Yes 5.

I did grow to like her more over time I guess, so maybe I'd enjoy DokiDoki more later on, but I'm not sure I care enough since none of them really stood out at all.

Like I said, if it bothers you guys that much, I can do 2, one my way, and one more "normal" for you guys.

Why can't I do both? You guys are a bunch of Coconas to my fun and adventure seeking Papika right now. I will take you all on an adventure!

>>151589896
because the overblown WEG meme is the best meme.

>>151589922
And thats what makes them great? Right? Well whatever, if its for you guys, I will make a new format just for Flip Flappers, and then make a more toned down and 'normal' WEG. I am still gonna smash that "got" square full with tons of stuff though, is that fine? I will keep it within the square, but other than that I am free to fill it full?

>>
>>151589769

Deprivation of agency is not my biggest issue though. Given more time they can definitely be shown to make their own convincing decisions. To me it's just a matter of not enough screen time.

This is what I will do. I will do a "normal" WEG.

In addition to that I will do something new for the 'cancer' you guys have issue with, like >>151589896

>>
>>151589970
Of course she did. you could tell she had already grown during the last episode when she told Papika she loved her, and even more so during this episode with their full blown confession.

My point wasn't that she didn't get developed, but that her development ultimately came at the cost of her own agency (since she required Good Mimi to show up and tell her she could just do as she pleased, rather than her just figuring it out on her own, due to all the growth she had achieved through her own experiences).

>Given more time they can definitely be shown to make their own convincing decisions.
Yeah, but they won't get more time, because the show is over. Agency should have given to them within the story's timeline.
I mean, this is a coming-of-age story, and agency is one of the things that are required to show Character X has grown up.

>>
At around 16:22, what did Papika mean by "Let me handle this?"
Did she really just want to hang out with Mimi for longer? Because they were on their way out of the PI and everything was solved by that point. If so, why didn't she let Cocona stay with her for a while longer while she talked with Mimi? Wouldn't Cocona have also liked to speak with her?
>>
>>151590177
>agency is one of the things that are required
There is nothing wrong for a child to heed her parent's advice. What matters for growth is that the child forms her own opinions and the process of it.

And to add more: At the end, Papika says "we got separated" as if she forgot she was the one who made them separated.

The PI they were in was collapsing because of the ability Mimi had used earlier. Cocona didn't want to leave Mimi behind in the collapsing PI, but obviously she couldn't stay either. Papika sent her to safety and went to help Mimi but Cocona rejected that and broke out as she was crossing the portal, ending up in Salt's PI instead. Papika succeeded in helping Mimi but they just decided to hang out and have furious lesbian intercourse while Cocona was left to her own devices for a little while.
>>
>>151590241
I think it was odd too anon. The whole ending seemed designed to rob Cocona of closure with her mother. I can understand Papika wanting to say her final goodbye, but then we don't even get that scene.
>>
>>151590270
Just keep it the same size as the watched and expected images.
>>
>>151590241
I think it was supposed to mirror episode 1 with Papika leaving Cocona behind to grab the glasses. But as for the reasons? You guess is as good as mine. My headcanon is that Papika wanted to talk with Mimi alone to sort through her feelings for Cocona and ask for permission to love love LOVE Cocona despite her history.

There is, because the way it got executed killed all build-up, the way I see it.

Had she received the guidance of an adult earlier on, which allowed her to shape her worldview and resolve, that would be okay, but when her main issue got resolved because mummy pretty much spelled it out for her, I feel they pretty much killed what should have been a climactic scene.

That part was Cocona's fault. She was supposed to stay in Papika's bubble and drift back home, but she cut herself out and got lost again.
>>
>>151590405
It's great, the only thing people are divided over is the last 3 episodes.
>>
>>151590270
The idea is that WEGs should only have one panel for the expected and got parts, shoop them as much as you want but if you add a billion different things in them you'll miss their whole point. I have no idea why /v/ started that trend of turning each panel into 99999 panels.
>>
>>151590354
Okay, that clears it up somewhat. I was under the impression that the crumbling PI had turned into Salt's PI on its own, so I didn't know what danger there was for Papika to save Mimi from. But I guess Papika was able to rescue Mimi some kind of way, and thought it would be dangerous for Cocona to stay during that.
That kind of throws a wrench in the idea that the crumbling world turns into Salt's PI due to his influence earlier in the episode if they're not the same. Or maybe they're still closely related, which is how they all ended up there instead.
>>
>>151590441

>>151590441
Well, the whole idea of "THIS IS SO AWESOME A WEG CAN'T EVEN CONTAIN IT ALL!!!!" is kinda funny. Once. The first time. Of course now WEGs are in that format more often than not now so it's just obnoxious.

>>151590400
Right. Advice from mom is not bad for agency per se. The execution of the advice killed the agency.
>>
>>151585659
Them falling from the sky was perfect. Mimi henshin, too.
>>
>>151590417
My point was that I thought it was unnecessary to put her in the bubble to begin with, if Papika was able to stay with Mimi and nothing bad happened to them. I can only assume Papika thought it would be too dangerous during the collapsing PI's transition into Salt's PI or whatever the heck happened there.
>>
>>151590634
Like I said earlier, I think its just mirroring Episode 1 with Papika trying to play hero to impress her wife.
>>
>>151590467
>what danger there was for Papika to save Mimi from
At first I was thinking it was kind of silly that Papika could save Mimi from anything in PI, since she's basically a god there, but I guess good Mimi doesn't have the powers of evil Mimi.
Papika's plan was probably
>step 1: seal Cocona, send her on her way
>setp 2: get Mimi, seal her, and bail on this collapsing world
>step 3: drop Mimi off, and get back to my waifu
Cocona wasn't having any of that.
>>
>>151590634
It was just an ending fakeout, like all the other ending fakeouts. You're supposed to think that Papika sacrifices herself heroically but in the end she was just having sweets with her bud.
>>
Maybe Papika tought it was dangerous and wanted to be with Mimi in her final moments, but it wasn't the case
>>
>>151590634
That's the idea, I guess.
Papika didn't want to take any risks with Cocona.
Cocona wanted Mimi protected, and Papika delivered, but she wasn't going to allow Cocona to end up in a risky situation, so she tried sending her back to the real world, the problem was that Cocona didn't accept that, and she ended up in the other layer of PI.
>>

I was one of the ones complaining about the line when it happened last week. But now that the show is over, and I am feeling post series depression, I am looking back at it fondly, finding it endearing. Wishing I just let myself love it when it happened.

Ever do something stupid in a relationship, get stubborn about it, be nitpicky about something really dumb? Then its over and its too late- the relationship is gone, its never coming back. And all you can think about is "how could I have been so stupid, what was so lovable in a dorky way, why did I nag at her about it, why was I so mean?!"

Thats what I feel like in regards to how I acted towards that line.
>>
>>151590764
It's just a bit of dramatic irony. Papika is impulsive and just does things without thinking about them much and even if there's not really a good reason, which in this case backfires because Cocona can now take care of herself... which means she strands herself.

Papika's motivation don't really hold up to scrutiny, but they're not supposed to. It's a bit of sleight-of-hand in the moment. This show has never been above doing dumb things for a joke (see: Nyunyu).

I think it does, though, as that particular world was collapsing, and she probably just didn't want to take any chances, so she tried sending Cocona back to the real world.
She just didn't expect Cocona wouldn't have any of that.

Yeah, I understood that it was ultimately a fakeout--that I actually loved quite a bit, because I thought it actually was going to go that route like so many other series--but I was just wondering exactly what Papika's thought process was in the show (the fakeout is the reason it happened in the show for meta reasons, but Papika obviously wasn't thinking "I'm going to do this to trick the viewers of my anime!")

PI magic. Just imagine that the tree formed a parasitic relationship with Papika. It absorbed her youth and life force to grow. Meanwhile, it kept her alive.

Ghost Mimi on the boat. Remember the dream sequences since episode 1?

It seems like Papika remembers. Rewatch episode 1 and it's clear now that she recognizes Cocona from the dicktree

Cocona doesn't seem to remember, but to her it was probably just a dream anyways.
>>
>>151591177
Papika seems to have recalled that during ep12.
It's unclear whether Cocona remembers that.

Though, ultimately, the scene was just there for us to see and didn't really play any relevant part in the plot.

Look on the bright side. You have new doujin material from the canon.

>. Rewatch episode 1 and it's clear now that she recognizes Cocona from the dicktree
Its ambiguous. I don't want to believe she knew the whole time, and didn't say a word about it.

By Mimi you mean Evil Mimi? Because as far as Good Mimi goes, she seemed to have entrusted Cocona to Papika, who then got deaged to the point she became a baby too.

Its main relevance is to show Papika De-age and how she was given the opportunity to escape PI.

Maybe she didn't even realize that Cocona didn't remember

Good Mimi was always watching from afar.

My speculah before this ep was that Papika got deaged by evilMimi making her a victim for us to sympathize with. But since this backstory wasn't given much relevance to Papika's characterization I kind of lost hope on either way.
>entrusted Cocona to Papika
This doesn't make sense. Adult Papikana can protect Cocona too.

It didn't explain how and why she got deaged, so it may as well have not shown it.
Same with her and Cocona escaping PI.

I thought she just recognized her as "another blue-haired girl" who would fit the description given to her. My interpretation is that Salt had never seen Cocona so he was looking for girls who could possibly be her (notice the dead girl in ep1 also had short, blue hair.) Papika just ran off on her own until she found someone who matched.
And became ultra attached because autism or some kind of unconscious realization of who she was. I don't believe that she regained full memories until later like another anon said.
