So, this is my fist time watching an anime from this director, and wow. Please be honest, is this porn? Am I being messed with or something? Like you can tell me all about the symbolism, but just why depict underage girls like that?

Bears are vicious they ripped up all those poor girls clothes!

Wait lol is that really how it ends

No it pretty obviously ends with marriage. I mean poo poo they get court approval, give a kiss in front of a spiritual authority, then both leave their homes to live somewhere new together. I guess that's why Ikuhara was being so coy about "subverting yuri tropes" bullshit by just using regular romance ones.

A rule of the internet is if you have any slightly ambiguous ending and you'll have people over thinking by writing multiple paragraphs about how they really died guys

Narrator: Yo bitches they're beyond severance now, did you kno the antonym for severance is mar-
Goon: Woah only a dead body like gokus can handle super severance level 3, typical lesbian fetushization

Most marriages don't involve firing squads. Well, I guess there was my Uncle Arnold's, but...

Seriously, though, this show has been heavy on the classic yuri symbolism since day one (no duh), and there's a very particular meaning to escaping from reality together and finding happiness in another world. The ending would be fine in most other contexts, but when you're talking about a social movement whose message for the past fifty years has basically been 'wait stop please don't kill yourselves we can help you be accepted here in the real world', well...

that's a lot of faith in anime girls who couldn't hit the broadside of a barn and none at all in a literal deity. Suicide by firing squad? why isn't Lulu there? Bet this guy thinks Utena is dead too. You can have the context I'll take the text :D
