I guess it's fanservice but it's also clearly supposed to be cocona working her way through her feelings for papika using romantic stereotypes because that's how young people form preconceptions about love

for real though pavlov there are like a half dozen other magical girl shows this season maybe you go and watch them if you're upset about the one that wants to really get into young lesbian sexuality

this show is really good and I find it shocking that anyone can think it's going downhill

Well, so much for that anti-escapist message I thought it was going for. For a moment I thought it was going to do something interesting at the end there, but nope, just a troll (pretty good troll tho).

I dunno what do say. I was kind of expecting the show to try and say something with it's finale, but it was just action scenes, tieing up the needlessly convoluted plot, and standard feelgood stuff. Ah well.


That was probably the best part of the episode yeah. But if it was going for an accepting reality shtick, it wouldn't have ended with them flying off to dreamland with giant butterflies.

they were returning to reality

pavlov this anime was very clearly not what you wanted from jumpstreet and I have no idea why you kept showing up to gripe about it until the very end but thank you for your time I guess

I mean at least you thought it was pretty, and you're right

Flip Flapper's ability to underline its tone by piling on symbolism in very natural and understated ways is probably the most special thing about it, besides how straight up lovely it all looks. Not that it isn't afraid to bring it to the forefront either, but that's what makes it all come together. Of course a world made of dreams and minds would be full of that kind of poo poo.

to be honest, i've kind of had trouble deciding what i think about this show ever since episode 8

but i've finally decided: it's extremely gay, and also good, and i'm proud to be the op of the thread and i hope cocona and papika live together and go on adventures together happily and also yayaka gets to hang out with them and pet uexkull while salt stands off in the background looking cool
