that's definitely the main parallel although I'd say cocona is more overt in liking papika then lalc can be at times, and there isn't really the same dynamic with nono wanting to be useful to lalc.

it is also I'd say meant to be read as romantic, and it's not necessarily going to go in the same direction in the long run

it's been a while since I watched diebuster so I'm having troubles with specific details

lalc thinks nono is annoying as heck but loves a lot about her because of that, and when nono starts stripping her personality to be more like lalc it drives her mad

diebusters is surface level about a really deep friendship but the actual text is open enough you can read it as romantic if you want

cocona is going through a sort of sexual awakening, because at the start she's very repressed.

papika is very open and free with her emotions, but she's slowly learning about things like personal space.

it is a good romance.

i have not seen diebuster but it didn't match what you described, imo. although i suppose there are probably similarities.

diebuster is low on my backlog so maybe i'll give you a better description in like 2 years when i finally watch it.

if you like papika and cocona trying to decipher her own feelings for papika: it is very, very, very, very good

if you don't: i have no idea what to tell you. why are you even here?

FF is getting more explicit than what you'd describe, too. You'd have to try really, really, creepily hard to read Cocona as not being in love with Papika after the latest episode.

It might be the best one so far? It's very late-season, introspective Evangelion, but with more lesbians and money and less soul-crushing depression. There's even a shot that I'm pretty sure is a deliberate homage.

I was talking about the explicit arc of loud energetic pink haired girl driving confused and introverted dark hair girl into understanding more of her own feelings and desires while adventuring together

not about the level of romance cause i already understood theres a friggin difference there

i'm retroactively removing all memory of flip flap from your brain and replacing it with a show that isn't as good because truly it is you who do not deserve it, for being so rude.

im doing it with my magical memory machine and you can't stop me, i already flipped the switch.
