quick question why the hell dont i see this anime getting talked about more??? not that i think yuri on ice is bad (i havent seen it so i cant form an opinion) but i see it getting talked about way more than flip flappers. it might be because the show looks so dumb on the surface but like honestly i haven't fallen in love with an anime this quickly in a really long time

if i were to make any comparison i guess it's like Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi except it takes itself a bit more seriously and has more of a consistent narrative and it's also gayer and also it doesn't suck. it uses that same device of the two lead characters traveling to different dimensions to kind of let the creators do whatever crazy imaginative thing they want with the show and occasionally homage different genres or archetypes. when the show isn't spending top notch animation on magical girl fight scenes with crazy shiny sound effects, it spends time to get quiet and atmospheric and let you take in the cool kaiba/ghibli-esque worlds it explores



on another ghibli-related note the two leads are fucking adorable and there are tons of little moments of them just like, casually being cute together as if it were second nature, which reminds me a lot of the two leads from Laputa. except gayer. so like 20x better



so yeah sorry about the wall of text but i had to gush, its so hard for me to find animes i love this much these days

Shit is adorable and entertaining, I've been enjoying it a fair bit myself.

Also that ED is utterly fantastic.

Thanks for telling me about this show, it looks good.

it's happening

naw man I'm talking about getting L I C K E D there it's like another orgasm bro

i think the final episode is fast approaching which is saddening bc i dont want the show to end. ive gotta keep tabs on this studio/crew

there are some plot points im confused about which makes me think im missing something but they'll probably be explained later i guess

ok that episode did kinda have some strong emotional moments but overall it was just kinda vague and confusing. i still have a lot of questions

Spoiler: Show

why was cocona braindead during the entire episode? i thought maybe it was because mimi was controlling her mind but like… mimi ended up…… freeing her mind???? what was that??? i have talked to people and they've suggested that when mimi went crazy to protect cocona as a baby she developed an evil obsessive split personality, and that the mimi that talks to cocona and frees her is a remnant of her old personality. which would make a whole lot of sense, but i didn't get that intention from the last episode, i feel like that could've been explored more.

also its still kinda vague who cocona's father is. people have said it's most likely salt, and i think i agree with that, but i still feel like it was never conclusively implied in the show. for now i guess salt is the father

also i STILL don’t know why or how papika was aged down to be the same age as cocona. thats the biggest part confusing me. i guess mimi somehow altered reality with magical pure illusion bullshit to make her younger or something???? but even then, why did mimi do that???

the last two episodes have been really disappointing me with how confusing and vague they are, which is especially heartbreaking considering how quickly i fell in love with this anime and i havent liked an anime this much in a really long time, but here's hoping the last episode can save the show.

They beat you over the head with that concept in the previous episode though. I'm not sure how that's vague in the slightest. Mimi even flat out asks Salt to save Cocona from her split personality.

it's salt yeah. there isn't really anyone else it could be and he was upset she hadn't stated she was pregnant in the previous episode's flashback

The beginning of this episode has a bit from after when Papika jumped at Mimi when she disappeared into PI, she was already de-aged by the time she was being held captive there. Her memory was wiped too, so it was basically just to make sure she wasn't a danger to Mimi's plans.

lots of things blah blah

ok that does make sense. honestly maybe i was spaced out on anti-anxiety meds when i watched the episodes, i need to watch them over again. i feel like there's a lotta stuff that other people got that i flat out missed. also when i first started watching the show i was bingeing it to catch up but now that i've caught up im watching the episodes a week apart from one another and it gets hard to keep track of everything

ok, i rewatched the last three episodes. and i'm glad i did, i think i have a clearer understanding of a lotta plot points and major events in the story, though a few are still somewhat foggy.


in hindsight, yeah, it is really obvious that salt is the father. there's a lotta implications of a romance between them from the moment they're both introduced.

and i do understand the split personality thing better now. i think the reason i never picked up on it before was because the scene of her switching with her alternate personality felt like it came outta nowhere and the entire time i was trying to figure out what was happening, if it was some kinda symbolic thing in her mind or what, so much so that i just forgot about the scene altogether. but paying attention to it this time around did factor into explaining a lotta things, like the climax of episode 12 i do understand much better now. though that scene where mimi asks salt to save her from her original personality was really quick and weird and disconnected from everything else, it felt like they just sorta spliced it in, and i can understand why i missed it the first time. and it's still kinda hazy where the personality came from. presumably it just kinda.... popped into existence from mimi's trauma or something??? idk, that's something they could probably explain in the last episode, but it probably won't bother me that much if they don't.

and that whole scene "explaining" how papikana was de-aged?? i guess i kinda get it now but it still feels like a really last-minute weird payoff. like, ok, she's de-aged, but then how does she end up the same age as cocona?? does she age cocona up?? does time stand still in pure illusion?? also, what appears to be mimi's original personality walks up to her and sees her in the cage and asks who she is. i would think if they wanted to imply papikana's memory was wiped it would be papikana asking who she is??? did mimi wipe the memory of her original personality too??? or maybe it's just that she doesnt recognize her because she's de-aged?????


i dunno, maybe i'm nitpicking with some of this stuff. but either way i think i'm more invested in the emotional center of the last few episodes than i was before, and like i said, i'm glad i took the time to rewatch them. i really hope the last episode is a satisfying conclusion, i feel like it's a make-or-break moment for me.

OK SO I finished the show!!!!!!!!

the penultimate 3 episodes were kinda confusingly edited and i was a bit worried but after rewatching them i did kinda get a better understanding of everything. though some things are still a bit confusing and vague, i was able to watch the finale no problem.

the ending was kind of a bumpy experience for me and i do think a lot of things coulda been explained better overall i’m really really glad i watched this show, like i keep saying it’s been a really long time since ive loved an anime this much.

they could have definitely handled the finale a little better (i really loved the last couple of episodes but found this one only okay-ish) but considering they finished it only shortly before it aired i can't super fault them for there being a couple issues with it

good overall conclusion, the fakeout with the real world-esque PI was great. throwback to ep1 appreciated. seeing salt tackle the same problem as mimi and deal with it in his own way was fantastic. i think that they used up a bit too much time on the mimi confrontation that could have been used wrapping more things up since the action there kind of fell flat anyways. when she henshin'd i got hype but then even the final "attack" cocona and mimi make is pretty much nothing, which sucked after their combination PAUNCH from the last ep. for having her own arc and being a major focus of the series, yayaka being held back during the final fight was lame. least she stole cocona's bunny.

man mimi's transformation is bad trip af
