The three 'desire' Reo vs one 'love' Mabu. It's not some big discovery, but it's interesting we had clues about this kind of stuff from the beginning. Same with the boxes. I'm currently rewatching the show because I forgot about half of what happened. The prologue is still the weirdest stuff.

>three 'desire' Reo
I'm a brainlet, what three desires?

The way Reo's shadow split into three last episode when the otter was talking to him. That no beginning - no ending - no connection thing that used to show up after the boys defeated the zombies.

and Mabu was a whole circle
aw shit fuck

She is cute and sexy.
If only she wasn't in one of Ikuhara's clusterfucks.

What ever happened to Reo with knife?

Maybe he uses it when he kidnaps Keppi.

What if the promise Mabu made that Reo was talking about was the wish he made in the manga, the one about wanting to be a family with him and Sara forever, and that's why Sara's dish breaks?

We will only know in episode 11. That's it it would covered at all.

Slightly above average realistic sized tits look good, and can contribute to the girl looking young and cute. When people are over saturated and prefer gargantuan titties that's their thing, but often it warps their perceptions and they can't empathize anymore with people who aren't overdosing on tit.

Maybe he'll use it to stab the Chief Otticer.

Aniki is for purifying!

Reo is for abusing his lover for years and slowly going more insane only to finally realize he was loved all along but die moments later just as insane also slowly forgetting the motivation for his life!

As long as you don't tell anyone you love them, you'll be fine.

Poor Mabu. That horny devoted slut deserves someone better.

No. Make it stop!

Mabu is for being raped by otters for years while his lover hates him, never being able to tell the truth and watching his love go insane then fall into suicidal despair and sacrifice himself so Reo knows he is loved only for the one he gave everything for to die moments later!

Reo will make it up to him in Episode 11, surely. Fuck, I really want him to get a chance to give his love back to Mabu.

Reo making Mabu feel loved would be the best end.

>Keep only one love
Fuck he sure did

They both did. That's what makes their story super tragic.

In episode 11 they will be reborn as human policemen and Sara will become a baby to make sure they're doing OK.

What I would give for the manga to be a sequel

Is it a nip thing for couples to share a twitter? It’s cute how sincere they are about sharing their everyday life.

That would be alright with me. Ideally though, I do want to see Reo give Mabu his apologies and love while they still retain the memories of what they went through first, before they're reborn. Mabu having to disappear without ever feeling the relief of knowing he finally reached Reo, and Reo never getting the chance to give Mabu that relief, is a cruel fate, even if they do get a second chance to be happy together.

The spoilers have me wondering if the final episode will go in the direction of the Sailor Moon R movie. Those otter tentacles make me think of the flower that turned Fiore's innocent gay lust into wickedness.

Somehow I can’t literally see anything but a happy ending for the trio. Expect some cheesy power of love/friendship/muh connections

Sailor Moon R had a sacrifice end too.

Maybe that's why Murase keeps mentioning the R movie...

That movie was good and also gay as fuck.

It's the best Sailor Moon movie by far. Blessed Ikuni.

Reset ending fixes everything~
But seriously, this whole anime feels half-baked: if it's supposed to be about connections, then it would be better with characters that run on some kind of consistent logic, and not retards running around operating on moon logic.
Also, I can't really connect to any of these characters, except for Kazuki and Toi, maybe.

He's crazypilled, but not based. No matter how many children he kicks, it can't make up for hurting his waifu.

I would legitimately be more satisfied if they got a genuine, if brief, reconciliation and then Reo took his own life once he realized he would forget Mabu. Him forgetting Mabu and then getting shot out of nowhere just because Toi is chimping out is simply retarded.

Yeah this is how I feel too. If this is actually Reo and Mabu's final conclusion, then that knocks the score of the show by a few points for making me feel stupid for caring about them.

I'll eat my words if the actual episode plays it out much better than the spoilers imply, but I feel like your idea would feel a hell of a lot more satisfying.

People were expecting the cops to get a happy ending?

I was expecting a satisfying ending that justified the attention given to them in the show and supplementary materials at best, which was clearly still too much.

Endless, pointless suffering is lazy writing

No one said that.

I want the absolute best for Reo and Mabu, but no matter how the anime ends I'm not going to regret that I've been invested in them for this long. This wild ride will have been worth taking even if I'm blasted off of it into pure despair at the end. I still love Reo and Mabu without a doubt.

Happy =/= Satisfying

Payoff should fit the buildup. Every episode that features them heaping more suffering and frustration onto both of them while Reo slides further into madness to the point of legitimate insanity seems like a ton of buildup for a very brief reconnection. And then Mabu dies immediately after saying "I love you". And then Reo starts to forget about the very things that caused all this suffering and his insanity. And randomly gets shot by someone who wasn't even aiming at him and had basically nothing to do with his story. It feels like misery porn rather than a story about hardships in a relationship and overcoming them.

This is not even mentioning the fact that the audience was clearly intended to get invested in them through the twitter/manga (given that half of their backstory and context is given through those mediums), which is even more buildup for a very small payoff.

The issue is their storyline having a total lack of catharsis.

didn't spoilers say Mabu was dragged to suicide by the otters? is this a misleading preview or anons were retarded?

I agree with what the others said about this being unsatisfying as fuck
I prefer if they don't die because a better outcome for the message Ikuhara wanted to deliver about accepting your partner who changed would be them living carrying the weight of all their choices

forgot to say that this is also why I would hardly accept a reset ending that undoes their memories of everything

After shooting gay kids in cold blood, you've got only so much chance at redemption.

It all sounds fine to me except the Toi part. Maybe people who got invested in them thanks to the manga had different expectation but this seems fitting in the context of their presence in the anime. I never thought they would amount to anything more than another example of well intentioned love gone wrong.

The spoilers did say that the otters either goaded Mabu into it or presented him with the idea. I don't think even 5ch anons are retarded enough to mix that up with Reo being the one who goads/pushes him into it, so the preview must be misleading because of what it doesn't show.

"carry the weight of all their choices" isn't exactly a redemption, more like they have a lot to rebuild from the ground without losing their memories. If they lose and arm or eye in the process of trying to make up for what they did to the kids, good for me.

Stop shitposting, Toi. Aniki is shit and there's not a single redeeming quality about him.

Just how many examples of this does the show need?

>Sarazanmai final scene is Mabu wheeling away a Reo that lost both arms and legs trying to save a kid

>another example of well intentioned love gone wrong.
The thing is, it isn't even that. This isn't just intentions going wrong because of natural mistake, the otters are actively shaping their situation such that this exact outcome happens. Their situation isn't even entirely in their control.

ah fuck mean for and by kid I mean the trio

>Toi

I don't give a shit. Aniki is shit and so are his fans dish

Sometimes in real life, outside circumstances can destroy the best of relationships.

True, but goddamn is that message delivered in a cruel way.

then Ikuni failed delivering his message and failed the hardest ever

Yeah, if the overall message of the show is "connections are difficult but it's important to try and connect with those around you", then "sometimes outside circumstances completely out of your control fuck up your relationships and there's shit you can do about it" sort of goes against that message.

It’s realistic, sure, but that’s not exactly great for a fictional urban fantasy show.

Ikuni did it, he did poor's man Evangelion

Knowing ikuni the otters are going to be some metaphorical crap anyway and regardless of all that the cops' real problem was them failing to connect. Reo had been clinging to his image of old Mabu and refusing to accept him as he is now, and the desire to have old Mabu back is what allowed them to be manipulated. They've already taken the actions that led them into the position they're in now.

Any translation for what's being said in the PV?

>but goddamn is that message delivered in a cruel way
That's fitting. It's an inherently cruel experience when people with the best intentions, giving their best effort, are hurt by things outside of their control. There's really not a gentle way to tell a impactful story about that.

People should consider their connections precious and strive to maintain them despite the chance that something they can't control will impede them. Reo and Mabu can't accept anything other than desperately trying to salvage their connection despite their all-but-completely hopeless circumstances; giving up was literally not an option for them, because their connection was too important. It's because connections truly are important that people need to boldly accept the risks involved and still try to make those connections. The show also condemns carelessness and rigidity when trying to connect, so part of the lesson could be "in a world where connections are precious and they can be lost for reasons outside of your control, don't let reasons within your control take them from you too".

Aniki is a good boy and deserves a second chance!!

I hope Thursday’s episode will make me sad from bittersweet reconciliation and not from cheap resolution.

Kazuki you shit!

Ikuhara's "changing relationship" metaphor is pretty weak, no matter how he insists upon it. Even if Reo was able to recognize Mabu and love him as he is, the otters would fuck that up. Reo's refusal to accept Mabu isn't the product of merely him clinging to the past either, he's been constantly sabotaged by the otters.

>it's okay for a story to be unsatisfying because real life
the absolute state of discussion in these threads

people keep forgetting that Mabu was told to never express his love for Reo or they would have destroyed them, they literally blew him up the moment he told Reo I always and will forever love him

people who think real life is gritty and sad stories are realism probably never get out of their rooms
it's also against the show message

It's not gay if you hoverhand.

>hoverhand
>bridal carry

What is the truth, Kazuki?!

>Reo had been clinging to his image of old Mabu and refusing to accept him as he is now
See, this is my central issue with this whole thing. Reo saw Mabu dead and made an impulsive grief-fueled wish to see him again to clearly manipulative parties. A new Mabu appears claiming to be the old one, but talks, acts and makes expressions that are nothing like the old one. He's forced to stay with this Mabu 24/7, and during this time none of the old Mabu's emotions or behaviors resurface nor does he ever vocally indicate they exist. The Mabu willingly goes away for maintenance, which Reo clearly sees as akin to sleeping with someone else, and when Reo finds this out, Mabu has no emotional reaction except to say that he prefers the person he's "cheating" with. And the otters are engineering this exact situation so that neither Reo or Mabu can actually connect and fix the problem.

Exactly how is Reo entirely in the wrong for not believing this to be his Mabu? Of course Mabu can't just outright tell him and none of this is Mabu's fault at all. But at the same time, besides making context-less attempts to eat in front of him or cooking for him, nothing about the new Mabu has shown Reo that it's him. Reo is being a fucking idiot and has made terrible decisions, but it also feels like the intended argument is that he should just blanket accept someone who looks like his dead lover but shows no outward love or emotion to him as that same lover when that's just not how humans or relationships really work.

Attached: Capture4.png (1196x662, 593K)

That's one of many things the otters have done to make it impossible for Reo to understand/accept that Mabu is Mabu.

The story is unsatisfying but it's not suddenly because of the ending for the shitty cops who have been shit the whole show. Watch the braindead fujos praise the show again once they get a Lulu and Mirun tier epilogue anyway. This ending for the cops is fine.

I hate the "refusing to accept him as he is now" because that one isn't even Mabu acting as himself, is a Mabu being manipulated to not act to himself and who probably hates himself.

Reo did accept Mabu last episode and perhaps many time before. Which backs up your point. They are being sabotage. It's not really Reo clinging on to the past but every time they have any progress they otter would ruin things anyway.

Exactly. Their situation came about because of active sabotage. If Mabu was damaged emotionally and wasn't able to express as easily as he used to but was still able to communicate some of the love that he has for Reo through that damage, then it would be one thing and Reo rejecting him would be solely on Reo's shoulders. But Reo's being punished (partially, he should be punished for all the murders) because he's refusing to accept a Mabu that's not even "himself" but being shaped and forced to act by outside forces that do not want them to reconnect. That just feels sort of unfair.

The thing is that they were showed to make up last episode and it wasn't like Mabu was suddenly expressive or like his old self again. Without anything manipulation Reo would have accepted Mabu much earlier.

Only because Reo got a scrap of Mabu's old habits (the cooking) and desperately jumped on that because he was spiraling in desperation. Beforehand there was literally nothing that linked new Mabu to the old. Reo re-rejects him because the old Mabu probably wouldn't choose someone else over him without any outward emotion behind the decision.

Exactly that, if they were left alone without manipulations from external forces Reo would have come to accept the new Mabu on his own.

>girl

tranny kazuki is better

Would mabu have even made an effort to become normal if reo immediately accepted him?

>would have come to accept
I didn't say immediately.

Yeah, that just makes it extremely unfair. Mabu needs the otters in order to display the behaviors that make him like the old Mabu and accepted by Reo, but the otters want to keep him and Reo apart and so make sure to push Reo further into crazytown and rejection when any sign of reconciliation happens. It's a cruel situation.

So the link to Akutagawa's kappa book is real after-all.

Rape of the boys would be better. Toi being raped and sold into prostitution by the yakuza after Chikai dies. Kazuki being raped and humiliated after some old men catch him crossdressing. Enta being raped by Chikai who complains the whole time that he's not as good as Toi.

I don't get it, Mabu was born in March and Reo in July?

No, Reo would've initially rejected him like he does in the show but Mabu would continue making efforts without fear of punishment until eventually it gets through his thick skull.

Best ending doesn’t have to be a happy fairytale ending. RM having a reconciliation of some sort before dying, fine. The boys getting separated, fine, as long as they maintain their connections (you can do that long distance). Basically, an ending doesn’t have to be all around happy, but the conclusion should be satisfying relative to the journey.

Worst ending would be more self-sacrifice, melodramatic “suffering for sufferings sake”. The ending of Utena was sad, but hopeful and cathartic. Viewers who got invested in this plot need to feel like the drama actually has s pay off.

for an anime that spoke about how self-sacrificing is bad because of how it affects the other person they really dropped the ball with ReoMabu becayse Mabu's suicide kinda comes across as one and Reo was fucked up further over it thinking Mabu's choice was to abandon him

If it's any consolation, they made zombie Kaizar sapient in the BD

that wasn't a consolation that was still cursed and still ruined Rita's character

>Mabu starts choking
Fucking hell, kek

I don't think Mabu's "death by 'I love you'" deserves the same negative lighting as the other instances of self-sacrifice in the show. It's hardly a "self-sacrifice" at all. Mabu did absolutely everything else he could before making that choice and he underwent a massive amount of stress in the process. There's only so much a person can take. If he couldn't make Reo know that he's loved by living, then he could only get Reo to know that he's loved by dying. Mabu deserved to get to speak his long-held back feelings at that point too. With literally no option to actually make Reo happy, this choice is the best Mabu could do for himself.

Is it some daily ritual for them to say how much they enjoy watching each other eat? I remember in past threads anons were commenting that it makes it sound like unconsummated romantic tension rather than something an established couple would say.

oh no it's adorable

They are retards. Using those exact words probably isn't a daily ritual, but one of the many ways Mabu expresses that he loves Reo without saying it directly.
Considering that Reo's understanding of love involves receiving back the same intensity (of emotion) that is given, it's cute to think that when Reo picks up on one of Mabu's indirect expressions of love, he tries to hand love right back to Mabu the same way, be it using the same words or getting food for Mabu after Mabu cooks for him.

>reo makes broccoli yakisoba not because he's in the mood to eat it but because he's in the mood to cook for mabu

if they really pull a "Deus Ex happens and Haruka wishes for Sara to be revived and as concequence that regenerates Reo and Mabu" I will never make fun of an idolfag ever again

Something might happen anyway since they have to explain why Sara's plate break when they die and her connection to them.

Maybe she breaks it herself.

Why and why in front of Haruka?

like father like daughter

I think the theory that she existed because she was the physical manifestation of their love makes too much sense and that may have been why in the manga they were given the roles they have

It would actually make a lot of sense for her to symbolize something like that just in terms of the love vs desire dichotomy too

>zombie mabu is a symbol of mabu's desire
>otter reo is a symbol of reo's desire
>sara is a symbol of their love

What if she was attack by the otters? The scene of her plate breaking might be after they die but what if it's only just a scene after with no connection? I'm just saying as to not get any expectations from something that might have no link.

Even elsewhere in the show if she's meant to be a being of like "love" considering like Haruka's obsession with her when his feelings were judged to be love, or Kazuki using her image to connect with/demonstrate his love for Haruka. And then there's like Keppi right. If we consider her crawls, as a prince he exists between love and desire, and with the otters being embodiments of desire and despair I guess we don't really have anyone to represent "love" other than Sara.

>some frog is shacking up with this 10/10

it's not fair bros

Most of the issue is how Reo is framed as someone who can't accept how his partner has changed and he want to go back to the past which would work if he is shown to reject without external forces. He's even shown to accept minimal signs that his partner might back so how can he be faulted? Because of this unreasonable test it in turns pushes another character to take extreme action.

I feel like I missed an episode. What do is it when they meet?

>we don't really have anyone to represent "love" other than Sara.
Well at least Sara would get some kind of role.

According to her text crawls she reunites with him in episode 2, though we don't see them together again until ep 7

>knew about his brother
He was protecting his family.

More like 6/10.

Enta is a good boy who deserves happiness

what do you mean?

when kazuki’s wig being ripped off in episode 5 , his dish is left and Sara picks it up back to haruka
So the head dish could be something important or symbol to something ?

to kappa, their dish is their life, if it dries or breaks they die

>Sara picks it up and gives it to Haruka
in the novel Kazuki leaves with the dish right?

Copfujos preferred to live in delusion rather than listen to anyone who said it was obvious villains would have a bad end. This is more than they deserve all thanks to Reo for being a shit.

I wouldn't call it a day until episode 11 though. The spoilers for episode 10 feel like a reasonable conclusion to their story and despite what fujos say, it's not so unsatisfying. But then there's Sara. Sara and the cops' connection has never been clear so I think it'll be time to spill the beans.

No, same thing happens

If you can read, you can understand that no one is taking about them getting a bad ending.

Kazuki is a good boy who wants Toi to leave his life of crime.

That part is real. You can see fake Kazuki in the pv and he's red.

Reo is born on July 24th

>July 24 is Kappa ki (河童忌), the death anniversary of Akutagawa Ryunosuke (芥川龍之介：1892-1927) who is one of the most famous short story writers of Taisho era (大正時代) in Japan.
He was named Ryunosuke (龍之介, literally Dragon son) because allegedly he was born in the Year of Dragon, in the Month of Dragon, on the Day of Dragon, at the Hour of Dragon.
He wrote about 150 short stories, and there is a book titled "Kappa (河童)" in his later works. Therefore his death anniversary is called Kappa ki (河童忌).
He committed suicide by overdosing the medicine at the age of 35. The reason was "vague uneasiness" according to his suicide note.
In 1935, his life long friend Kikuchi Kan (菊池寛) established the Japan's most prestigious literally award, the Akutagawa Prize (芥川賞：akutagawa sho) in his honor. The prize is awarded to the promising new writers semi-annually.

A bunch of different nip fujos seem pleased by Reo and Mabu's height and weight differences, but none of them are sharing actual numbers.
If I'm understanding this one excited fujo properly, Reo is on the lighter side for his height, and Mabu is a little thicker for his height. Makes sense, just from looking at their designs: they have nearly the same build, but Reo has significantly longer legs.

They better share all the characters' profiles

I thought it was just Masa who knew and that the reason while the others who were after Chikai wanted revenge on him because they thought he killed the Yuri boss.

The scene with Chikai talking to the three yakuza before the shootout implies that Chikai has done a lot of bad shit and killed more people over the years. There are probably a bunch of people who want to kill him for different reasons.

The show is still as good (not great) as it always was. The people who were watching for their ships all along are getting sore because the ending is going to be Ikuhara’s ending, not Hiroko Utsumi’s ending. Seriously, there's plenty of fujobait series you can watch.

I thought the guys who were after Chikai were in his current gang

They are. I assumed was referring to his current gang as his new gang.

A lot of projection going on in this post. Not that I'm surprised given Ikuhara's fanbase.

People getting so triggered when authors or directors don't pander to them are so immature it's funny.
Whatever the ending will be, it's not like this series is not popular enough among fujos, they produce tons of fanworks daily. Also, there is still the manga and the novel which respectively will probably digress from the anime and contain extra scenes.
I'd rather have a coherent finale than an asspull one. Ikuhara may have "lost his touch", but I'll always respect his stubborness and his unwillingness to follow the trend.

It's easier to dismiss the posts as "having fits" instead of addressing the points brought up.

I just want someone to give Ikuhara a full length show one more time to see if he can still pull off his old magic. I rewatched Penguindrum and Yurikuma while Sarazanmai was airing and the difference in his newer work is like night and day. I've always been very critical of Penguindrum and even think Yurikuma one-ups it in a lot of ways, but there's something about the enjoyability of his work that's been lost in the downsizing to one-cour. There are so many good and memorable scenes in Penguindrum that leave an impression even down to the timing of the dialog or the weight of individual scenes between characters. Now everything feels so rushed and even with all of Sarazanmai's attempts to make the cast more human than YKA it still feels like a story for the sake of a story rather than a story for the sake of the characters.

Just ignore it, anyone that thinks it's just about having a happy ending can't read. Right from the start everyone already knew they would end up dying. It has been explained in multiple posts what the issue is and what a satisfactory ending is about.

>acting like an illiterate retard to own the fujos

I thought that a bittersweet ending where Mabu stays a cyborg and they have to live with the fact that he won't be the same (I'm sure there's more besides not being able to eat but that already is bad because a lot of their communication was throught food, like maybe not even able to repair Mabu in case his heart or something else fails) would have worked given what Ikuhara said was the message about having to adapt to change and not being able to love with the same intensity and all that stuff

Lol Kazu and Toi pretty obviously have romantic feelings for each other. It'll probably be a major part of the final episode. That's not "shipping," it's just following the story.

It wouldn't seem that bittersweet honestly, because it seems like Reo will be all over Mabu again the moment he believes that Mabu is Mabu, as evidenced in ep9. Reo goes full love-love mode on Mabu just from the ningyoyaki, despite Mabu's lack of expression. Maybe that's in part due to Reo being mental and desperate, but it still feels like Reo would be able to adapt to Mabu's new form just fine if they weren't being manipulated by the otters.

>unregistered number

I take it as Reo being completely mental, I don't think living with mechanical parts can be easy regardless if he was accepted or not. The maintenance was obviously fucking bullshit and rape but I think it was partially true he needed some form of tweaking to stay alive just as you would do with a machine.

>pretty obviously
You are very delusional my friend

It's almost as though Kazuki has an issue with distancing himself from people he cares about.

If my decryption skills are right, Tooi's birthday is on November 1st.

>even with all of Sarazanmai's attempts to make the cast more human than YKA it still feels like a story for the sake of a story rather than a story for the sake of the characters.
There's nothing wrong with a story where the characters feel unsympathetic (=/= well written) and act as a mere vehicle for the events to unfold, if the story itself presents interesting elements like a creative setting or a general strong plot that can keep you hooked, but here I don't see anything like that. The story is too episodic, the writing doesn't go into a specific direction, everything is all over the place. Also the symbolism and the foreshadowing are weak, seems like more questions pile up instead of being answered.

>There's nothing wrong with a story where the characters feel unsympathetic (=/= well written) and act as a mere vehicle for the events to unfold, if the story itself presents interesting elements like a creative setting or a general strong plot that can keep you hooked
I feel like more often it works better the other way around. A weak story and setting can be carried by amazingly wrote characters and themes. Plot as an excuse to elaborate and comment on both.
Wish I could say that of Sarazanmai but the main trio is bland and boring specially Kazuki and they make up like 90% of the screentime.

I agree with that, but the problem is I don't think that the charm of Ikuhara's work comes across in those kinds of stories and it's why both YKA and SZM fell short. Also I think SZM was trying to avoid being that kind of story and still failed.

It’s baby weight. Congratulations Reo, you’re going to be a daddy.

Interesting thing from the radio show: they call Keppi a life form in the shape of a kappa and mention his former appearance. I always wondered whether he looked different from usual kappa because he was royalty, or because there was something up with him. Wait, I just noticed his website description says the same thing.

1 second epilogue with kappa reo and mabu in the afterlife is all I need

Keppi is an alien.

What do they say about his former appearance? Even Sara was surprised to see him changed (and I wondered how she recognized him in the first place).

You think I can't see through that "criticism"? It's literally just "I-It's not fair bros!" - it's like you haven't even watched Penguindrum.

So majestic, but the face worries me

I love Mabu's tits.

Go be dumb elsewhere.

Nothing so far, it was just Suwabe saying he'd read the script and had found out about his character's former appearance. I haven't reached the April episodes yet.

>imagine him with just a little extra plush on his thighs and butt
Absolutely euphoric.

what? MPD ending was amazing, go bait and be a contrarian somewhere else

important ye olde japanese people used to shave off their eyebrows and paint them high up on their foreheads so their expressions wouldn't be as noticeable or give anything away during meetings. then i guess it became a fashion thing

I want them to kiss on-screen.

Keppi is an alien and Enta is the true kappa prince

her having those as a baby implies she was born like that tho

She has some sort of revisited taisho roman look, nothing to mull over about

I hate him, but I’ve also blown multiple loads to porn of him. What the fuck, Ikuhara.

I mean what I really want is for them to be happy together forever with their daughter but I'll take afterlife kappa.

Don't be such a tsundere.

Enta is for beating. I like him but he needs to be punished.

Why is there so many porns of this ugly tangerine

>Utena met Anthy as a kid and Anthy's suffering inspired Utena to become a prince to save her
>Shouma met Himari as a kid when she was orphaned and saved her by becoming her family and making her not "unwanted"
>Kureha met Ginko as a kid, saved her life and lived with her until Kureha sacrificed their relationship to turn Ginko human in the misguided belief it would make her happier and let them be together
>Toi met Kazuki for 5 minutes as a kid, threw him a bracelet and then dabbed at him

Ikuhara has been phoning in his three protagonists, honestly it feels like he’s gotten so reliant on his own tropes that he doesn’t bother putting as much work in as he should. Meanwhile he expends lots of effort on world building shit only to show about .002 percent of the world he’s created.

I'm gayer than you and have the largest enta folder of any user and even I haven't nutted to him

>Kazuki and Toi
The childhood-meeting-turned-romance in this show is ReoMabu. Thus far, there's nothing romantic between Kazuki and Toi, and their childhood meeting isn't even more significant than Kazuki and Enta's childhood meeting.

But I’m not gay and I hate most megane but somehow Enta has grabbed me by the cucumber and drained me.

I hate how you're not supposed to care about the incomplete world building because "muh it's Ikuhara". Fuck this shit.

alright guys post your new rankings

Utena > PD > Sara > YKA

he's charming in a pitiable yet endearing way

I can accept that Ikuhara likes his tropes but this time around it feels completely unnecessary. If he makes Kazuki sacrifice himself and "ascend to a higher plane" I'll laugh.

The common thread here isn't the relationships being romantic, it's the relationships involving the protagonists and the catalyst for their actions during the show and that meeting being presented as a twist. Reo and Mabu aren't part of the three protags and their meeting hasn't even been shown on the show.

Utena >>> Penguindrum > YKA > Sara

It’s more like I really admire how much work he did put into stuff, and I’m annoyed that I won’t get to see much of it because fairly bland drama takes up 90 percent of the show instead of a reasonable 75 percent. But the last two episodes seem like they’ll be interesting at least.

Utena > Penguindrum > Sara > YKA so far for me but if they seriously fuck up the cops that badly then Utena > Penguindrum > YKA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sara

should have quoted

I still believe in a happy 3P ending. Ikuhara has had stupider relationships.

make that like, 2 or 3 minutes

>Who’s your type? (Mabu)
>Someone who eats a lot and smiles a lot

>None

Reo a SHIT

He doesn't have a type because he only wants Mabu

He doesn't have a type because he only loves Mabu.

that just means Reo would have accepted Mabu regardless of his personality, having a type is kinda weak

>nothing romantic between Kazuki and Toi
kek

Usagi, Mamoru, and Fiore met as kids too. Ikuhara just can't comprehend nutting inside someone you met as an adult.

Reo and Mabu are certainly considered protagonists though. This show has two stories running parallel, the kappa trio's and the cops'. Even though Reo and Mabu's content had to be shifted out of the anime into other media due to time constraints, they've received no less development or significance than the boys overall.

>assumptions are dangerous
Especially for retards like Reo.

Ikuhara might be a pedophile. Dude is obsessed with childhood.

They're sympathetic villains.
It definitely feels like there was a lot of story that was cut for time.

don't forget they were in every promotional material next to the kids with barely any hints of being villains

>episodes 14 onward are 30 minutes long
Yeah, ok, no time for that. For whoever's interested, Ikuhara created Reo first, then Mabu to complement him.

>None
can someone correct them

This makes roboMabu look like a legit mental patient.

Can't correct unless some post the orginal nip.

Nyantaro is the key to all of this

That fucking free space.

yamete kudasai

I hope ghost Reo and Mabu make out in episode 11.

They only reincarnate his organic parts, so a lot of brain circuitry gets left behind.

They're a side plot in the show but they're not protagonists. I wouldn't even put them on the same level as Ringo.

fuck they are really thin

They're going to have eternal ghost sex it's all ok

Mabu had literal-child-tier handwriting before he died. He couldn't write his name in kanji on his and Reo's mailbox nameplate on the Twitter and I think there was another instance of it.

>Yeah, ok, no time for that. For whoever's interested, Ikuhara created Reo first, then Mabu to complement him.

He also said he originally wanted to name Kanaba Reo in the Supergroupies stream.

It weird as he can read just fine and type too if we want to include twitter.

The calligraphy they wrote for new years was the most iconic

Typical of nips, but especially anime characters. Character profiles like this always have characters listed as lighter than they realistically should be.

>Kanaba Reo
is this a pun of Kanba or I'm reading too much into it?
They did go down similar paths tho

Mabu is well-established as an oddball. He writes at a child's level, he struggles to use a camera (and has an odd habit of not smiling in photos), he has to get naked to cook, he lacks common sense--yet he's still a fully functional adult in other regards.

Typo. Kanba was original named Reo before he changed it.

I'm amazed at how bad they are at calculating the weight of the characters, I haven't seen one that looks accurate ever
with their built and muscle mass they should weight like 10 kilos more than stated in those cards
I see, thanks, i misunderstood it badly

Mabu

hey you stop that

That cat is way too thin to be Nyantaro.

Nyantaro was Sara's cat, Kazuki stole him. She finally found him in ep 2. He has powers like Keppi and can change shape.
Perhaps he even is an aspect of Keppi.

He's going to use his powers to shapeshift into an inter-dimensional spaceship to save the Little Prince and Queen Mabu, right

Yeah of course. He'll also bring Toi and Kazuki together again like he did before.

>boiling the broccoli instead of steaming eat

It's a pun on Mabu being a neko

The fuck does that mean? Some Japanese slang meaning he takes dick?

The wagecuck retards in love manga was more entertaining and had better character interaction/humor/entertainment value than the entirety of the anime and anything to do with the trio.

maybe so

Yes.

"neko" is gay slang for bottom

Stupid broke cops in love was so fun.

Pleb.

user, your mind

>Reo identifies himself as neurotic
Depressing

I got bored of it halfway through desu

Sorry I’m not into mediocrity

You're just a pussy who can't take some artistic suffering. You can admit it.

he's so proud of the fact that he can take a dick

Maybe a comment on the size of Reo's dick.
Maybe Mabu is a very stretched out neko.

I thought it’s supposed to be an otter, not a cat

>what should I put here?
>I know a code
>the otters have stretched my anus this much

It's a cat. It's a callback to when Mabu draws a terrible cat for a lost pet poster.

Is artistic suffering code for “the director has no range and hasn’t made anything good in over a decade, but not because of lack of talent and over reliance on the same story over and over again”

I dropped it after a few chapters but I was surprised how much it felt like your average low tier SoL with girls. Is that common for fujo manga?

>I don't like it so it's objectively bad!
You can leave any time.

there's so much variety on BL to say

It's written by Ikuhara so it shouldn't be a gauge for regular BL.

that's silly, a lot of non-BL mangaka have wrote BL at some point

It's his first time writing a BL and maybe his only one.

Isn't it written by the mangaka like all the other manga that ran concurrently to his series?

No it's written by Ikuhara and drawn by other artist.

It's credited to Ikunirappa aka Ikuhara,

Is there an interview where it's brought up?

He was credited on all the other manga too but they were still either written by the artist or another writer.

It got shilled a lot because Ikuhara and because spin off to the anime. If it wasn't for these 2 reasons it'd be a forgettable niche manga no one but bl fags read.

It's supposed to be more of a buddy cop SoL. I don't know, I'm sure there's a BL subgenre for this kind of stuff.
