Watched this on a lark a week ago, gorgeous show, though the later part seemed pretty rough to me. I really felt the ending was rushed and the plot was pretty uninteresting, I enjoyed the show more when it was just a new genre world every week. I got a real Space Dandy vibe from it and, I guess that was for good reason. For real though, I genuinely thought I had missed an episode or 2 near the end, it just rushed by so fast. So did I miss something or do the motivations regarding the 'bad organization' in regards to Cocona and the yellow haired girl make zero sense? Like the twins keep ragging on her for being nice to Cocona but later it was revealed that they made her became Cocona's friend in the first place to watch over her, so why in the hell would she lose standing with them for keeping her alive?

It took me like 30 minutes to figure out, but it makes perfect sense that the boring, drab, super-realistic world with no adventure is Cocona's Pure Illusion and that made the ending make a billion times more sense.

More like a facet of it. The world from Episode 1 - a version of Cocona's home covered in beautiful, cold, but sweet snow; and filled with massive, scary, unknowable creatures is ALSO Cocona's Pure Illusion. The world from the finale was more of a brief nightmare she had when she was afraid that she was never going to see Papika again. Although I like to imagine that basically every world we visit is at least influenced by Cocona's own perspective.

I never bought into it being distinct worlds based on whoever entered first or something, but a very compressed hyperspace where proximity to people in the real world is what shapes it. Arguably it's just that the person who enters 'first' happens to be the nearest, and others who enter tend to end up nearby. Finding a door to someone's mind is a matter of starting close enough and then traveling to it, though actually getting there might not be orthographically consistent such that it may just be dumb luck to find one. So I guess it really is the Warp from 40k, or it really is just two girls candyflipping hard in the woods and thinking it's been a week instead of a few hours and then one's mom shows up to take her home. This show is great like that.

Kylra posted:Massive scary unknowable creatures covered and hidden by sweet snow doesn't seem like episode 1 Cocona to me, so that doesn't seem right. Perhaps that is the grandma. The big scary creatures aren't Cocona, I don't think - they're how she perceives other people. The sweet snow is more reflective of Cocona herself at that point in the story - she has an air of being cold and aloof but actually has a very sweet disposition when she can get past her anxieties. https://twitter.com/FLIP_FLAPPERS/status/852491544317747200 Also the blu-ray art on this show has been ridiculously good.

I just started watching this series this week thanks to the Magical Girl Thread. I'm just finished episode 5 and  . Episodes 1-3 were pretty fun and floaty but things are suddenly getting confusing and dark. The school with the loop is nightmare inducing and the whole thing with the Aunt is haunting. But I still really like the series and am curious where this goes. So many questions, I hope they get answered.

I powered through the rest of the episodes last night and stuff got dark quick. I felt like Cocona at times going "I didn't know about this?! Why is this happenening?". Overall very good but felt rushed at the end. I'm glad it had a happy ending for Cocona and Papika; even Yayaya got a happy ending.

I watched the last episode again last night because the first time I saw it I was half asleep. There are a few things that I'm not sure about with the episode. Was Papika trapped in limbo after getting Cocona from Mimi? If so how did she get there and where did Cocona go? Her hair seems much longer when she's naked and unconscious on the floor as compared to when Mimi vanishes. How was Cocona able to find Papika years later? Is this part of her "dreams" that she's had growing up? It seems like when she dreams she either ports over or mentally ports over to the Pure Illusion Limbo world. And it seems like Cocona never really learns who her father is as no one ever really states it to her; not that it matters as Salt is almost as bad a dad as Gendo.

The answer to a lot of those questions is "eh, who cares, the show's much more interested in Cocona's emotional journey than the precise mechanics of any of the magic involved," but here's my read: -Papikana dives into Pure Illusion after Mimi, who promptly shatters into itty bits, leaving Papikana and baby Cocona stranded in Pure Illusion. -Papikana is de-aged and for all practical purposes reincarnated as Papika during her sleep in limbo. -Cocona is either rescued or simply magics herself back to reality sooner than later. Either way she ends up in the hands of Asclepius. -A young, but no-longer infant Cocona meets and befriends Papika in her dreams - travelling to Pure Illusion in her sleep the same way she did when she was having her occasional visions of Mimi throughout the series. -Papika resurfaces at some point. This is the iffiest question, but I like to imagine that Salt continued working with Asclepius a while longer after the disaster that destroyed the lab, was involved with whatever process drew Papika back into reality, and promptly escaped with her to found FlipFlap and try and prevent Asclepius from recovering the fragments.

Its about what I was assuming. And you're right the last bit is the most up in the air. I really did enjoy Cocona's excellent adventures into her psyche and emotions. Ultimately she comes out a much stronger individual and its an all around happy ending for everyone.

Finished flapping the flips. V good show, I liked it a lot It's jarring to see the usual weird little-girl-sexual stuff you see in magical girl shows when you're coming right off of Madoka, but I managed to power through that. I feel a little bad for Yayaka and I hope she finds happiness.
