I thought that was her mouth open

No. It's just a forced meme in LWA threads.

Looks like it. I don't really have a problem with it.

More than in GabDrop?

>It's just a forced meme
They also said that about >Cockona.

Gun-posting is also spreading.

>papikok

>the wrong gun
every fucking time

Why is it wrong?

>ppk not using ppk
What is wrong?

Sorry, didn't knew the puppy used a canon gun.

I... wow, punny.

Seriously, 380?

Damn right

Is that Roger Moor?

That's a puppy with a library card.

It's Brother Mouzone

Staying up until 6am during WonFest was a mistake, nothing but shattered dreams and disappointment

Yayaka spin off when?

This is a cute doggo

Medicos is lazy fucks, wait for Summer WonFes now.

Maybe I'll commission a daki in the meantime

I went to /vg/ to get info on the new FE gacha game and they were using that tongue everywhere.
I have no idea how this came to be but I sure am impressed.

Yes.
The papitongue will endure the test of time.
It's perfect. Simple, cute, funny, versatile. It's got all the elements required for it.

A lingering memento of 2016's flip flop AOTY.

Even these threads are slowly taking longer to appear, and stay up for less time, achieve less post.
We might see a nostalgic flip flappers thread here and there but at least the papitongue will always be around.

Yayaka figs never, Yayaka merchandise never. Just kill me already.

Yuniko is memeing the tongue too.

Flip Flappers will become the E.Y.E. of Sup Forums.

I think it would be the fact that despite having a small but vocal fanbase it flopped very hard.

Sold better than Kaiba

That tongue belongs to Cocona's bush. My most lasting memory will be the futa porn.

>Cocona's bush
Cocona's cock

Its just "magical girl evangelion that goes beyond the black rainbow" isnt it.
Which is a good thing
I really liked it.

Oh great. I was planning to get some work done today but now that there's a Flip Flappers thread I can sit here mashing F5 for the next 9 hours.

There is unfortunately not much happening. Mashing F5 every hour or so would be enough.

Papika is the one with the cock, user.
Papika will love Cocona with whatever body she happens to have at the time, and no matter what Cocona is. She's Coconasexual.

Cocona's gayness comes from an emotional need for a nurturing older female figure in her life, since her orphaned childhood and the cold distance of her robogranny has left her craving and in desperate need of female intimacy. She's emotionally gay for Papika, but her body still needs some dick in her to really get going. Some of that tender futa Papicock hits every one of her emotional and sexual sweetspots all at once, in a way that just flipping Papiflaps never could. She needs to be bred by her puppy-aunt-girlfriend.

Why not use the Auto function, user?

No.

What? Such functions do not exist.

Mai waifu

Life is so much more meaningful when you take the time to do the little things yourself.
If you automate yourself, then whose life are you even living?

>not using 4chanX in 2017

The life where I get my work done and get a notice when you faggots post something, so I can check it out just in time?

Truly a mantra to live by. Perfectly worded, user.

...

I mean, I don't want to pull the rug out from under you or anything but cock relapse is a thing. I'm sure Mimi loved Papikana very much but at the end of the day she still came crawling back to Salt for another dash of flavour. It's just a sad fact that our feelings don't always align with our bodies. Even if your brain and heart want to be 100% gay for your girlfriend, you can't stop your flaps from craving what they crave. In this case it runs in the family, and like mother, like daughter, Cocona will eventually start looking elsewhere to satisfy those cravings if she can't get the love her body needs from Papika. It'll hurt all the more because she loves Papika, of course, but there's not much she can do when her bodily needs and emotional needs take her in two different directions.

Papika will either have to learn to let others satisfy her waifu in a way she can't, or else be lucky enough to grow a dick herself so she and she alone can satisfy Cocona's mind and body completely.

>The life where I get my work done
Okay let's not drift too far into the realm of fantasy here, user.

I'll most likely use it as an example of a show that started out great but had a disappointing ending. Same as like Kyousougiga or Rolling Girls.

But how are you gonna buy anime merch if you don't have a job?

What's so disappointing about the ending? There are a lot of nice scenes and it gives a great conclusion.

Rolling Girls didn't start out great, though.
In fact, its introductory episodes were some of the worst. The best arcs were around the middle

Don't question my 「Pure Illusion」, user.

I don't get this reference

I guess I mean the second half in general. Once Studio Pablo was gone and the writer changed, the yuri got way too hamfisted, Cocona and Papika's interactions lost a lot of their magic, it was a noticeable downturn in quality. Specifically the visuals suffered. I did really enjoy Episode 9 however and the ice dome fight.

A better way to have gone about the ending, in my opinion, would have been get rid of all the scenes of Papika calling Cocona "Mimi" (the boat dream is enough foreshadowing, didn't need more than that), have a single episode exploring the past but through Pure Illusion rather than flashbacks - Episode 6 style - and put Papika in the awkward position of both "remembering" and explaining to Cocona what's going on. Then the Mimi stuff could happen and maybe take two episodes instead of four (three including the "backstory" episode).

Did you just go through the archives and grab the first sentence of every critical post you could find?

A lot of those posts were probably me.

>and the writer changed
You are probably trying to make some good points here, but I have to meme.

We all hate you, user.

Nah, what I learned posting about this show while it was airing is that people are very defensive of this show and saying anything even slightly negative about it gets dismissed as a troll. The only reason I even bother saying anything is so people who agree with me know that they're not alone in feeling how they do.

Plenty of people seemed to agree with me.

You suck

That's because there was so much trolling and shitposting going on in the latest episodes and beyond. What I gt from the later threads and polls is that most people indeed thought that the later episodes were weaker, but not bad.

How much do you think Papikana knew about what was going on between Salt and Mimi?
Did she even receive sex-ed while living as a lab rat or was she just completely lost when Mimi spilled the beans about her pregnancy?

I'm really curious as to how much Mimi confided in her and how involved she was in their 3-way friendship vs. just being a 3rd wheel to a pair of star-crossed lovers. This scene right here sort of reeked of the latter, and of Papikana not really reading the mood/having a solid grasp of what was going on between her friends.

>and saying anything even slightly negative about it gets dismissed as a troll
Don't tell me you were active in the threads and actually believe this. There was plenty of criticism going around the moment an episode aired and people were discussing it. The only times they were called shitposters is when they used poorly constructed bait and long-dead arguments, attacked the audience instead of the show and took their "criticism" to memetic levels by posting the same thing in every thread. And people for some reason always replied, without fail.

I actually agree with your version of how the show should have been going and while I enjoyed every episode a lot while it aired, now I feel a lot more strongly that it never should have abandoned the feeling it had up to episode 6. Oshiyama said they hired another writer because Yuniko's strength didn't lie with the drama they were building up to, but it never should have gotten that dramatic. Flip Flappers' biggest weakness was when the relationship between Cocona, Papika and Yayaka was no longer the main focus.

Who is worst mom in Anime, and why is it Mimi?

I was in love with this show too and one of its strongest advocates. Episode 6 was one of the best single episodes of anime that I have seen. After that it just sort of tapered off and felt unsatisfactory.

For example, Senpai never mattered again. All that buildup of her being some kind of cool-headed mentor for Cocona, culminating in that amazing backstory episode, only to have her just completely vanish from the story. That wasn't enough for me, not after we got hints about her paintings having a connection to Pure Illusion (which ended up just being a coincidence). I needed more than what we got.

>Oshiyama said they hired another writer because Yuniko's strength didn't lie with the drama they were building up to

He did? I wasn't aware. I remember it being kind of a mystery and I remember there being some speculation that it wasn't a departure on good terms because Yuniko sort of rudely posted about it on her Twitter.

She made Cocona so she can't be all bad.

I don't see that pic often enough, you have to step it up.

I don't post enough in FlipFlap threads. Having nothing get shown at WonFes also killed my motications.

>Oshiyama said they hired another writer because Yuniko's strength didn't lie with the drama they were building up to, but it never should have gotten that dramatic. Flip Flappers' biggest weakness was when the relationship between Cocona, Papika and Yayaka was no longer the main focus.

To me it seemed like subtlety is what was lost when Yuniko was out of the picture. Everything tried being as big as Evangelion instead of treading lightly and using subtext for ideas. Episodes 1 through 3 were plenty dramatic in their own ways, put the girls in life-threatening situations where they had to work together to overcome the challenges, all the while having a fair amount of exposition done in less on-the-nose fashion. For example, Episode 2 gave us the idea that Pure Illusion had some connection to the minds of other characters, since it appeared to be so directly connected to Uexkull, but instead of spelling that out explicitly we were just led to believe that by way of inference from the imagery. That seemed abandoned in favour of a "tell, don't show" approach later on.

Something will show up eventually it has to. I still have to live up to my promise.

There never was any real Mimi
Episode 10-onwards plays out from Cocona's perspective as she enters a mental breakdown. "Mimi" is her DPI counterpart, just like orange and blue Iro. It takes the form of an aged-up "what-if" mother figure because Cocona's an orphan that's been craving a nurturing female figure for her whole life. Every time she's near an older woman in the show, she regresses and behaves like a shy, submissive child --sharply contrasting her behaviour around Papika and Yayaka. She conceives of her shadow --reinvents herself-- as a maternal figure because she's unable to find an external substitute and must turn inwards instead. The flashback we see in episode 10 is Cocona's self-deluded version of the events drawn from Papika's stumbling and poor explanation, because she's desperately trying to fit things into a story that supports her growing delusion and stress. Every instance of Cocona hearing Papika say "Mimi" was actually her identity dysphoria creeping, influenced by the collection of the shards of her own power. Cocona being an unreliable narrator who warps her perception to fit her emotional state was established at the beginning of episode 7, and it's no coincidence that the ending of 7, after she's "found" again, has her first hear her own name as "Mimi"

Episode 11 takes place through Cocona's delusional perspective, in which everything is recontextualized to fit the narrative that she's invented to explain herself and her identity and the world around her, going as far as to reimagine Salt's words to her as though they are from her invented backstory. In reality, he was the only one who had realized there was a risk of Cocona's power reawakening if the shards were gathered and had tried to create a countermeasure. Cocona's real mother probably died when Cocona went berserk as a baby, discovering her powers while being too young to control them and destroying the research facility.

A loser has no right to be this smug

She got the best boy, how can she be a loser?

Says user to user

Cocona may not have even had a real, biological mother and could have simply been a test tube baby like Yuyu and Toto. The concept of a mother figure for her could be something entirely invented, hence why Cocona's "mother" is just a slightly prettier (idealized) version of herself with long hair and red eyes. The red eyes represent amorphous power, hence why Yuyu and Toto have them too. Cocona's are faded to a dull amber colour only because most of her enormous amorphous power was residing in Pure Illusion as fragments, hence why they turn red again when the shards return to her and "Mimi" awakens, and return to brown when she permanently parts with "Mimi" and leaves her behind in Pure Illusion.

Next time, in episode 14 of Flip Flappers: "Pure Speculation"!

It was already ep 20 last Thursday.

t. Dumb Kyoanus poster.

Season two announced ;_;

It checks out, user.
Yuyu and Toto avoided ever harming Cocona directly because they knew exactly what she was. In fact, the only time they ever actually cross weapons is when Cocona throws herself in the way of Yuyu's fist to protect Papika.
Them being along the same series of genetic production is why Yuyu refers to her as Cocona-oneechan and resents Nyunyu calling her Onee-sama.

Asclepius overreacted at the end of episode 1 when Cocona came back from Pure Illusion because the data available to them would have suggested her having another "Mimi" episode and needed to stop her ASAP. So they sent an army of robots and tranquilized her. Only after running tests they realized she hadn't reawakened and thought it was safe to leave her be. This is also why they thought their army of robots would be enough insurance should Cocona go berserk again.

Mimi bursting into shards at the end of the flashback doesn't make sense unless you realize that the Mimi there isn't a physical entity but an allegorical one, a metaphysical representation of a motherless child's instinctual desire for motherhood --A personification of Cocona's DPI and her powers, which fragments and is lost into Pure Illusion as her baby mind fails to control it. Lacking a mother figure, her conception of motherhood falls apart and descends to the deepest recesses of her subconscious: Pure Illusion.

This is also why it's so hard to pin down which PI exactly is Cocona's. To some extent, they all are. PI is Cocona's world, all of it: Mimi tells us this directly.

Not bad, thanks.

>the thing people will remember most about this show is this shit meme
Really makes you ponder.

I just dreamed of season two and one episode Papika was acting like an annoying bitch and the second half looked like something out of hand shakers.
Sequels are almost always worse. I'd rather they make another original.

To be honest, I'd kind of like to see Papika be less-than-kind towards Cocona at least once. She's a little too perfect, and has never, not even once, been anything less than totally devoted, tolerant and accepting of Cocona.

She forgives Cocona too easily, but what if Cocona were to accidentally do something that Papika couldn't so easily forgive? What if that indomitable positivity was shaken, even just for a moment, and she knew that Cocona was to blame for it? Surely there's more Cocona could do to hurt her dearest loved one than say "daikirai." Surely there's more to Papika than her dogged love of Cocona.

I want to see it, and see how they work past it together.

Rewatch episode 9

Does anyone even watch Hand Shakers? The animation was so awkward to look at I still haven't progressed past ep 2

I tried it for the memes, but I get legit nauseous by the visuals.
