It was a great show for it's first half and then devolved into complete trash in it's second half. I can't believe how bad the second half ended up being to the point it brought what was one of the best shows of it's season to one of the worst.

I don't think so, no. That is Okouchi's wild ride, the guy that wrote Code Geass, Valrave the Liberator, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress and another precious "gem" that I'm forgetting at the moment. It's not even a full 3hz production. I mean, the last episodes of FLFL may have been a rather disastrous plotwise (pic very related) but I don't think that anons know what they're in for regarding PrinPrin. That shit's gonna be one heck of a ride, I'm only watching it for the trainwreck potential.

>>160153815
I was down with all the CGI usage until that Beauty and the Beast style over-head pan. That just looked bad.

>>160153847
Okouchi's just writing. And I knew he wasn't directing, I thought they'd put him on as storyboarder or something, but looking up the crew, I was wrong

Shit, I thought that I was crazy for thinking that. Anons on the PrinPrin threads were praising it for being "cinematic".

>>160153908

The show I was referring to was Comet Lucifer. That show was bad. Really bad.

>>160153997
>It really only dipped into utter garbage the episode Mimi returns.
Those are some harsh words for a show that dared to give us something original and different, anon. We'll have to agree to disagree. I mean, the final episodes where the kind of schlock that I certainly did not expect of a show of FLFL's calibre, but still, as a whole, the show was fresh and innovative. Gave me a lot of pretty good memories and was by far the comfiest thing airing that season. Even the ending didn't sour things too much.

>>160153847
Kabaneri was good all the way through, so I'm hopeful

>>160154322
>I haven't watched that one. How bad was it?
I'm guessing you started browsing /a/ in 2014 or later.

That's just baseless shitposting for me at this point. The show dared to give us a conclusive ending that is better than 90% of whatever garbage was airing in that year with a lot of hype moments, but you will keep reiterating this meme.

V cute. Highly recommend.

>>160147840

and the music
and the direction

>>160154548
I'll agree with you that it's better than most inconclusive endings, but it still wasn't well executed. That's why I say the ending was mediocre, instead of bad.

I've been homeboarding /a/ since 2013 or so but was a consistent lurker since 2009. Before that /b/ was my fix, since 2007 or so. It took me a while to get into seasonal anime, had a lot of backlog to conquer before starting posting more assiduously. The only "trainwreck" I only watched with /a/ was Mayoiga and that was no fun at all,
just a forced meme that went nowhere. Now I'm watching PrinPrin just because I'm absolutely convinced that those faggots are wrong about watching it unironically and it's going to be hilarious.

Well, I can only speak personally but I don't want the people who I watch Chinese cartoons with to be stupid. So /a/ popularity contests matter to me in the sense that I can gauge where /a/ is at. It doesn't influence my enjoyment of anything, I just generally don't care for stupidity and/or bad taste. FLFL winning AOTY was justice. Also, the salt was a good added bonus.

>Hi. I'm Papika, PhD in 2nd wave feminist theory, and I'm here to tell you why glue-gushing gonorrhea geometry is not necessary for sexual satisfaction.
>First, observe the way my lovely assistant (that's you, Cocona) wraps her thighs around my head. Many skeptics on the Christian right have made dubious allegations about whether or not this is natural. I ask you, gentlemen, that if this is not natural, how can you explain the snug way in which these divine pillows hug my face like a pair of sapho-erotic earmuffs?...oh! Smells like lavender today....Cocona would like that part struck from the record.
>Secondly, we know from past, well documented experiments that Coconas and Cocona prototypes do not respond well to phallic contact. The Cocona Mk Mimi was so dissatisfied with Salt- I mean...the subject's inadequate penis, she almost blew up everything and tried to consume her daughter with the gaping, blood belching maw of eldritch horror that he had left behind.
>Now, I know what you are all thinking. "But we need warty hotdogs to manufacture more Coconas! How can you deprive the world of such majestic beauty?" While it may be true with our current technology, Cocona and I have been searching her fridge and dresser drawer extensively for a substitute. We expect to make a breakthrough some time in the next year, though further trial runs may be needed to confirm our findings.

>Finally, I feel the need to address the question that PR has received more than any other. "Alright, Papika, I get that Cocona has a life-threatening allergy to weenies, but surely that doesn't mean she needs 'your' lesbo-mutant ham wallet, right? Why can't she be with an ugly blonde slut with no curves?"

Papika's age was constantly in flux in the pocket of PI she was trapped in and young Cocona who kept running into her in her PI dreams only felt comfortable enough to engage with her (thus freeing her) when she met a Papika that was her own age.

It told us that we need more Miyazaki(miracle), less Evangelion(trash).
