The latter episodes almost made me forget how good the earlier episodes were. The snow episode, the bunny episode, the Mad Max episode, the spooky episode and the one with multiple Papikas were all fucking perfect and I won't hear a word against them. I don't hate the last five episodes, but they definitely feel like they're from a different, lower-quality anime. Flip Flappers was excellent at creating atmosphere, but there was something wrong with how they added plot right at the end. Probably the biggest indication of this is that they used the exact same "Papika accidentally refers to Cocona as Mimi" cliffhanger in three consecutive episodes. It's like they had to finish the story they'd written, but they didn't really know how.

So you are one of these guys that can't appreciate a vidual media not spoonfeeding you every little information with tedious plot dumps. Sometimes there is no meaning behind what they yell.

The only legitimate complain would be leaving too much out on how Papika ended with Flip Flappers. Or what Nyus purpose was.
>>
>>154303680
I found those cliffhangers annoying because it seemed so unnatural that every single time she made the slip, it was right at the cutoff of an episode. Like, why did Papika never react to a glowing shard and make the slip during the middle of an episode or while they were doing something?

They just weren't ready to give us an immediate reaction by Cocona, which bothers me because it really was just delaying a big plot reveal while they got a few more episodes out of the way.

Hell, the whole "I accidentally confused you with my previous introverted, blue-haired PI adventure partner" was such a cheap setup for the Mimi reveal in the first place. Like seriously, that's just a viewer gut punch for anyone that's gotten invested in the friendship between the protagonists and it ended up being a relatively inconsequential detail that was rapidly left behind once HAPPENING happened.
>>
>>154303680
It needed to either stick to a theme or stay with the episodic, random nature of the earlier episodes in my opinion. With no central theme the plot becomes meh but forcing a plot just kind of ruins the fun nature of the show.

There are a lot of valid reasons to hate Flip Flappers, but this isn't one of them. Please don't ask for everything to be spoonfed to you. I want more anime like Flip Flappers' first few episodes, which either explained things through subtext or not at all and did a lot of visual storytelling. Too many shows just drop an autist-level infodump on you, where all the rules of their dumb fantasy universe are explained to you in exquisite detail instead of being revealed naturally as the story unfolds.

Probably wrap her long legs around her girlfriend and continue making out. It's a shame stocky little Yayaka can't do the same with those stubs she calls legs.

This. Once an introvert comes out of their shell and learns they can actually talk to their gender of preference and form sexual relationships, they basically forget all about their former friends and those close interpersonal relationships they once valued and swing to the other extreme. Cocona will spend a few years being a vapid and shallow social butterfly, propped up by the confidence boost and emotional support of her girlfriend, and her stake in Yayaka and their friendship will fall until she's just another thing to smile at and make empty conversation with while seeking some kind of praise or validation. She'll be taken completely for granted. Cocona's a late bloomer, and a neglected orphan so her reasons for being introverted are pretty artificial and will disappear completely with time and support (like the kind she's getting unconditionally from Papika).

It's especially bad when that breaking of the introvert shell is accompanied by a coming out of the closet. Suddenly everybody associated with their closeted life is worth absolutely nothing to them because they're too caught up in their new lifestyle and being "the 'real' me."

She never really valued Yayaka. She just needed her because she had nobody else. Now she doesn't need Yayaka anymore: she has those needs met, and has the confidence boost to find people to meet her needs without the help of the 'friends' that form the relics of her old life. She's figured out she could trade on her looks farther than she ever got with Yayaka. That's how most childhood friendships and schoolgirl crushes go.

Why would you expect sales numbers to increase with the following volumes? It always, ALWAYS goes down unless there's an event ticket or other bonus.

Also, to the autists that still don't realize it: the WESTERN fanbase is vocal but those sales numbers aren't tracked. If you're buying from online and from overseas, that don't go towards ranking numbers. So it's probably much higher if the fans here actually bought as many BDs as they said they did but it doesn't matter either way because 3Hz was never planning to make any more.

No, they finished the story that started from ep 1 and you didn't really know the actual story. The story literally ended in the fucking ED and that is canon confirmed by the directory. The ED is literally Hansel and Gretel and the story of flip flap is literally light-hearted fairy tales and figuratively dark archetypal conflict on both narrative and metanarrative levels between which the connection is established by the lens of Jungian interpretation as is the case for fairy tales in general.

Apparently they were paid up-front to produce Flip Flappers and don't actually get any kickback from sales, so they have no financial stake in its success. Their finances were secure the moment they signed the deal to make it.

Now, whether or not they'll be able top find more work after 3 consecutive flops is another question entirely, but I don't doubt Infinite will come back to them again in the future since the producers seem to have gotten exactly what they wanted out of the production despite its poor sales.

It's worth noting that part of the reason Flifla had so many key animators is that it had the largest number of drawings per episode of any anime that season (yes, even more than eupho) and in some cases by a large margin.

Also the studiowars threads won't tell you this, but charts like that don't include in-house animators. The disproportionately high numbers for certain studios relate to their relative staff size and the degree to which they outsource, which is why tiny studios like 3Hz and MAPPA, as well as studios prone to significant outsourcing like Sunrise all have higher numbers, and kyoani, a studio that uses salaried in-house labour almost exclusively, seems unnaturally low.

This is the key point, actually. Those who don't suffer from acute congenital nipponitis, and therefore like more than one flavor to their cartoons, liked most of it. But people come and say "only episode 3 was good" or "only episode 5 was good" or "only episode 8 was good," and never notice that the only way all those statements can be true is if the whole show is good, even if you obviously can't like every episode as much as your own favorite.

>Penguindrum
I only watched Penguindrum recently so I don't know what the discussion was like.

I don't think there are other anime comparable with FLFL or MPD in terms of intellectual capacity, perhaps YKA.

MPD is definitely better directed and written than FLFL. There is a lot in Ikuhara's experience that Oshiyama can learn from. The art styles are fancy in FLFL but ultimately all over the place distracting from the message Oshiyama want to convey. This is probably one of the reasons many people find their expectation of an episodic anthology thwarted by the actualization of the real plot. The lack of focus of stylish choice in early episodes moved the theme of the story into ill-defined realms and ultimately obscured the core message of show. The lack of focus is only confirmed in Oshiyama's interview where he admitted that free reign of creative control was given to different creators in early episodes.

In comparison, MPD's art style and symbolism are as focused as all of Ikuhara's works as always. The symbolism is tightly packed with the drama and contributes to the strong evocation of audiences's emotions. The symbols in FLFL are fun and interesting and evokes analytic interest, but they failed to evoke emotions, or they failed to contribute to the drama. Overall FLFL's story is weak in the drama department and I blame that on Yuniko, who is best at characterization, which is also the case for FLFL, but also weak at drama.

Even though lacking in directing skills, but FLFL's intellectual depth is comparable to MPD. FLFL taps into the deep archetypal dynamics in fairy tales and mythology to construct a hard scifi-ish world with accurate representation of respective concepts in psychodynamics and the mechanics of their interaction. The only regret is Oshiyama's ambition in creating such a world wasn't fully realized as the core message was obscured by its seemingly simplistic plot, which was forced by the need to play safe as a debuting director.

It's pretty easy to prove you know nothing about Penguindrum.
Here, answer this. Who had the apple and when?
If you're in a position to just the intellectual depth of both series you should be able to answer that with ease.
>>
>>154316049
>Who had the apple and when?
Is everything of your question? I knew pretty well some of the meanings of the apple without looking up reference the first time I watched it but I didn't bother to do the accounting about this technical detail which didn't matter to me either way.
Don't worry, I do admit I am a newfag to Penguindrum thus I put the word "comparable" because I only came to it after I found Ikuahra's latest queer politics in YKA interesting. I do want to learn more about the family values conveyed in MPD. The character analysis though I think I've done a fair bit of it on the fly when I watched it.
>>
>>154315509
I feel that you're overvaluing Ikuhara's experience here as his creative works are seen by many as pale imitations of his first.

Oshiyama's intent was different than Ikuhara's in the first place, he wanted a story that was enjoyable on both the surface and on further analytical levels. He may not have fully succeeded in that but he definitely improved on the Ikuhara formula in that regard.

I don't think the shows multiple art styles are anything but a great strength either. Creativity and the exploration of differing views are central to the show and the changing art styles support that. Oshiyama giving his crew more free reign is definitely not a weakness either as I feel he was able to get more out of them because of it.

It's too bad that the analysis of Flip Flap didn't evoke emotion in you but there's clear evidence of it succeeding to do so in many others who took the time. The only difference between it and an Ikuhara work is that Oshiyama didn't first work on a huge project like sailor moon and doesn't have the benefit of years of time to analyze and build up the expectation of analysis being necessary.

I feel like 'weak in the drama department' is a very subjective criticism as well, and it certainly doesn't hold up in my case. Nor does the idea that the "core message was obscured" by the plot. Flip flap had a bunch of things it wanted to say and said them very clearly if you knew to pay attention, most people just didn't expect to have to.

I knew, but did he connect the two well? That is the issue.
>analysis of Flip Flap didn't evoke emotion in you
You're mistaken. It is a fact that the symbolism FLFL didn't evoke emotions in a majority of the audiences and I've been still trying to come up with an explanation for the fact. I can legitimately tell you I was among the most emotionally impacted crowd and I was in deep cognitive dissonance trying to accommodate to the fact that most people failed to realize the greatness of FLFL.
>'weak in the drama department' is a very subjective criticism
It is subjective, right, but it is my evaluation after reviewing all of Yuniko's works. Only after watching MPD did I realize how exactly symbolism can mesh with with drama.
>core message was obscured
It's a fact. The message failed to be convey to most audiences. It doens't matter that I understand it.
>if you knew to pay attention
You're mistaken again. I wrote most of the Jungian and fairy tales stuff around here. I'm sure I am the single one who has done the most amount of research among all FLFL viewers.

>You're mistaken
I'll accept my mistake there, but my point about how the show does succeed in evoking emotions in the more analytical watcher is being made by your example.

>You're mistaken again
I wasn't claiming you were personally unable to understand, I was making a claim about the casual viewing audience.

>The message failed to be convey to most audiences.
Ikuhara's work has that same problem with casual audiences even though he has the benefit of both time and a built in audience due to his work on a more popular project. I don't have figures on hand but even with all Ikuhara's advantages YKA sold quite poorly and I don't recall MPD being very financially successful either.

>I knew, but did he connect the two well?
I think the fact that he connected them too well is why casual audiences didn't find the enjoyment that the more analysis inclined audiences did.

I think the show suffers less from the accessibility problem that Ikuhara's stuff has but suffers more from poor marketing and a lack of the expectation of the need for deeper analysis.

It didn't evoke emotions by allowing me doing rational analysis of the symbols. It evoked my emotions with characters's emotions, which is, of course, part of the drama. I was personally satisfied with the drama part though.

>I was making a claim about the casual viewing audience
Well okay, my observation to the opposite is admittedly also anecdotal but it was definitely one made without selection bias.

>YKA sold quite poorly and I don't recall MPD being very financially successful
MPD has 7,665 per volume sales which should be considered success. This is also why I could claim MPD connected with the audiences well.

It started out great, episodes 3, 5 and 6 were all amazing. Then it just kind of tapered off.

But in that time period it picked up enough of a following on /a/ that became very dedicated to it because of the perception that it was being overlooked by the rest of the internet. So people formed a really strong connection with the show because they felt like they were all sharing in some kind of rare fruit that nobody else could appreciate.

Once it started sucking, these people began autistically defending the show like it was their girlfriend.

With "Once it started sucking" you mean it wasn't as great as the start, but still very good and with "autistically defending" you mean unfortunately replying to dedicated shitposters that finally found something they could latch on, right?

way more successful than I thought I'll admit, but it also had a lot more going from a marketing and staff draw standpoint. I felt YKA was roughly it's equal in terms of quality yet it performed much less solidly even with far superior marketing to flip flappers.

I still don't understand how the marketing description for flip flappers got written and released. Most people I saw who read that went in expecting a one of the most by the numbers shows of the season. If that was how I discovered the show I would have thought the same thing. Luckily I stumbled across sulphur lamps on /a/ but most don't have that luxury.

neat. Whoever put together that doc might still give you a run for your money though.

>>154317756
i like episode 1-8 much more then what came after, but i still really like the show, probably on my top 3.
I agree with most of what you said, except that the thread during the later episodes barely anyone said they were better or equally good.
The autistic defending mostly came after autistic attacks from everyone else.
After all is settled i'm ok with Flip FLappers becomming a cult show for those who enjoyed it, hope 3hz will make more money in the future though.

No, not necessarily. The impression I got from polls and anons after everything calmed down a bit, like this guy >>154318027 was that most still like the last story episodes, overall most just think they weren't as good as the first ones. At the same time when these story episodes aired the shitposting on airing days got out of hand. So there is a high chance that you are just repeating what what you heard other anons where posting for (You)'s.

The same happened to me. I warmed up to the story episodes later. This is just how much shitposting there was.
>>
>>154318123
there was also a large faction who liked the last few episodes just as much. The large amount of shitposting surrounding the whole thing makes it difficult to accurately depict majority.

The producer had difficulty explaining it to sponsors but he did get funding anyway, which I think was meant to make it auteur-ish to some extent.

If you were not posting something new and just shitting on it without a certain level of constructive criticism it would be indistinguishable from ironic shitposting and unironic shitposting.
>>
>>154318123
Second reply guy here.
The story episodes didn't cause the shitposting though.
I remember early thread were great, barely anyone had somethign negative to say and the hype was pretty big. This began to change after the "writer change" meme came along with episode 7.
Compared to episode 9-13 the difference in quality wasn't big though.
I personally think the thematic followup of 7 after 6 was the best writing the show has and 8 was worked well as a fun adventure like 1 and 3 did.
Pretty sure it's more a thing about the general reputation of the show that got worse over time instead of people waiting for flaws.

>My personal preference is different from the standards of general appeal.
your tone in that first post seemed more like a personal opinion than a generalization to me. I guess tone doesn't always carry over text.

the idea that there wasn't enough drama for general appeal doesn't ring true to me though. I don't think a lack of drama was what lead to Flip Flap's lack of general audience success.

I think it was more poor marketing, lack of names and confusion about the plot based on an unwillingness to engage with the analytical side of the show, (partially due to not having expected the need for it).

Besides even if it didn't have drama (I think it had plenty) many more light hearted shows achieve general audience success.

>>154318968

>>
>>154319024
>there wasn't enough drama
There was enough drama, but it was weak if compared to MPD.

>lack of general audience success
It's not the lack of drama. Weak drama is the reason of poor reception among casual audiences who have seen this. Lack of marketing etc is the reason for not having wider audience.
>>
>>154319233
I wouldn't even call it drama really.
If they wanted drama they could have gone with better options, like Salts relationship to Cocona, Papikas aging or more about their lab live. Instead we got mild struggles of Mimi nobody really cared for because she became the villian. Everything ended well and the tragic stuff got barely mentioned.
Coconas struggles with Papika and Yayaka were ok at first, but then she got brainwashed and when she woke up everythign was ok again.
If they intended serious drama they would have me by the hook but this was just a bit of inconvenience

>>
>>154319233
>it was weak if compared to MPD.

I don't agree.

>Weak drama is the reason of poor reception among casual audiences who have seen this.

I really don't agree. I think the audience weren't primed to care about the analytical side so they didn't connect with it and thus missed more than half the experience because of how the two sides of the show support one another, the poor marketing has a role to play in that.

whatever, personal opinions I guess.
>>
>>154320120
She had lost her memory and was de-aged to Cocona'a age anyway. Memes aside, she's only an adult in terms of time passed, she's a teenager in both body and mind.
>>
>>154320120
she lost her memory and when she regained it she decided that she was a separate person than the one before but added a lot of that person to her "self".
>>
>>154320253
>>154320273
I wasn't serious but now i actually like this whole thing a bit more.
I mean Papika actually didn't change at all after remembering this stuff, they barely mention it.
I remember some peopel talking about rebirth and i didn't liek the thought since it was mostly amnesia, but i guess besides memories and basic personality traits there isn't much left of the old Papika

She actually lost her memory.
Or to be more precise, she was de-aged to the point of being an infant, and her memories reversed to that of an infant too. She re-lived her life essentially reborn.

The only reason she regained her memories of her past life is because of the power of the shards interfered. Those memories weren't like trapped in her brain waiting to be brought back up like an amnesia patient, they were completely gone from her because she had physically reverted to a point before she had experienced those memories and restarted her life from there. The memories persisted to some extent within the fragments.

I think the reason Papika didn't change so much after remembering is that she didn't remember her whole past life, she just got back enough tidbits from the fragments to piece together what the audience learns in the flashback. Like, she didn't remember living 19 years of her life and learning all the lessons and experiences those 19 years would bring, but she did remember being a kid in the lab 20 years ago, remembered meeting Mimi and Salt, remember being their friend and caring deeply for them, remembered adventuring in PI and ruining Salt's dad and running away with Mimi and etc.

The memories themselves probably didn't even feel like they were her memories, but the knowledge that they were her memories and that there was all this background and tragedy she had been unaware of is what provoked her little scene of stargazing angst in episode 10.
>>
>>154320683
This actually sounds like a suprisingly fresh spin on the whole rebirth/amnesia trope, even though it isn't that different.
They could probably have done interesting stuff with this, too bad there's only a bit of this on subtext level.
>>
>>154320897
I think the last few episodes were just so jam packed with stuff that they didn't have enough time left to really develop these ideas. We pretty much only get that one short scene of Papika seeming upset after remembering and then it's like the whole thing is sidelined.

Really makes me wonder what Flip Flappers could have been like as a 2 cours show.
>>
>>154320942
Yeah, maybe 3hz's next work is one of those mediocre shows that for some reason get really popular and they invest some of the money to give us a movie recap of episode 9-13, maybe they even continue the eva meme and we get rebuild movies.
Probably not, but i can still hope.

It's like you people weren't even in the fucking threads after Episode 3. The reason it wasn't all over reddit was because reddit was in all of the threads. Flip Flappers threads were downright cancerous, and it seems that still hasn't changed.
