I think he's cute.
Sarazanmai
this show is kinda gay
This episode was pretty gay, in a good way thought.
I wish I had a Haruka.
He's cuter.
So what is the meaning of this flower?
JUST
KazuToi is the only way to make this show have a happy ending.
Reo Reo he's so gay
Forgets his love at end of day
okay but what happened to mabu's gloves and reo's knife that were in the official book? i've been thinking about it for a while
>kinda
Some stitches.
What
I'm sorry but your husband Keito already has a husband he is raising a baby together with
I wish I had a cute and sexy Sara.
Things in concept art don't always make it into the final product, dummy.
Post more chocolate skin.
Why does the otter use a mic. There must be some nip pun us baka gaijin will never understand.
I fucking hope so.
I genuinely panicked here.
The zombie markings are sexy.
Based.
Reo and Mabu are going to be missing from next ep's OP. I can feel it in my bones.
Friendship end.
Anyone have the source to this?
I hate his edgy shark teeth
Who is on suicide watch today?
user ;_;
Enta is the most pointless character and shouldn't have existed.
I'm disappointed the gloves didn't show up much, they were really sensual on those concept arts.
oh shit, that cheery upbeat OP is going to sound insulting
But Enta came back to life.
His gun is pretty powerful.
He came back to life after the ending, I guess.
Maybe Toi going to the dark side counts as a loss
Ikuhara shows' screenshots without context are really something.
When will they be reunited with their daughter?
Honestly this above anything else makes me think they'll be back. They're playing by magical bullshit kappa rules, not human ones.
Enta's dead until the post credits scene, and Toi is against him, so Kazuki is alone.
He presented his ass so graciously and patiently.
Finally a nice episode. Even with cute middle school boys involved, I was always more invested in Reo and Mabu's story
No, the ED will be skipped, and the OP will play at the end. Mabu will be smiling in the edited OP.
According to it looks like he might be the one that saves the day. Kinda downplayed by the fact that literally everything is his fault, though.
All he did was cause drama for endgame KazuToi
I want to hug_ him so badly.
I like how they always draw nails for the characters. It's refreshing to see anime hands that are not flesh and bone sticks.
Toibros, Entachads are laughing at us again...
Now, I know he was a shit in episode 7, but how is everything his fault?
Good news or love message?
Why does Toi still get a pass for all his flaws? His brother is a piece of shit but because he's hot, whenever Toi does something selfish for his brother he's not as hated.
We were too cocky...
This look is making things to me. Poor Mabu had to keep his poker face even after seeing stuff like this.
I miss him everyday.
anyone that likes that ugly nerd is not a chad they are queers
;_;
Because he's been manipulated by his brother and the desire for his love for the past 5 years?
Sex appeal clouds judgement.
I liked how this shot was a parallel out to that time in episode 3, when he first talks about his brother
Kazuki confirmed for chad.
I'm so tired of all the stupid gay drama that I'm starting to miss him too. At least yakuza are cool.
>Iris Iris means "good news" and "loyalty" in Hanakotoba,
depending of the type - "Message of love", "perseverance", "passion", "hope", "burning love" and "happiness is bound to come
Even fucking Akio didn't get an end this cruel and Reo didn't rape his sister ONCE.
Thank you kindly for all of these.
Who cares
This one.
nice catch
He wasted the first dish, which set the whole cast up for fighting over who gets to make wishes, and his stunt in episode 7 is directly responsible for aniki getting shot and Punished Toi giving into despair (not that aniki didn't deserve it)
Try myreadingmanga friend
Yeah he just killed people.
Last one.
No problem, user.
I can't wait to rewatch this show after the finale because I know it's going to be even better the second time around.
He didn’t even see it coming bros
It's not extremely cruel. Reo is a damaged person and borderline schizofrenic, he shots kids, but in the end he reunited with the most important person in his life and was happy.
Don't worry, we will be the ones to laugh at the end.
Local shota on a killing spree
Already btfo, shipperfag
>at least one half of next episode will be wasted convincing Toi to say no to the dark side and move on from his piece of shit brother
I wish there were more scenes of aniki being a good guy before he went yakuza. It makes sense in-universe for 14 year old Toi to want his only family back, but as an audience member who's only seen him double-cross and murder everyone he meets I couldn't give a fuck.
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDARKNESS
That’s Toi
He also forgot about him and got shot in the back by a kid who didn't even know who he was.
How did being btfo taste? Toi is Aniki pilled to the end.
>destroyed buildings and bridges
I'll say.
Kazuki is so cute and beautiful.
Karma is a bitch user.
Sexy human Keppi when?
Kazuki is plain
>and his stunt in episode 7 is directly responsible for aniki getting shot
I guess I forget. How did he cause that? Aniki is the yakuza who's made an enemy of everyone and was on the run from the law to begin with.
Why are Entachads and Toibros fighting...
Why can't they just smooch instead...?
This gives a little bit of hope that this isn't all there is to the cops actually, seeing as Ikuni normally isn't this cruel. But user is right, Reo did kill a bunch of people.
I actually like it. We see Chikai as sympathetic because we see those sympathetic moments through the eyes of someone who desperately wants to love him. It was a good way of showing how in a detrimental relationship one party's perception of the other can be so radically different to the reality of the situation.
I thought that were his balls.
Actually, using the golden dish would have only solved Kazuki's problem, ReoMabu would have been the same, Chikai would have still been a yakuza and Toi would have most definitely left with him. The boys would have either separated or continued working together to get the dishes for Toi maybe. Then the question arises: what would Toi even wish for? Chikai was shot because he had enemies. Might as well say everything is Reo's or Mabu's fault.
wish the cop manga had better art...
Only one ep left, I trust Ikuni. You don't get Suwabe only to voice a mascot character.
It's anikifags though and no, these ones can't smooch.
To be fair the only ones that died and stayed dead were a bunch of perverts (whom he was under the threat of death to kill) and a sword-wielding yakuza goon. No excuse for Enta, but he's fine now, so.
Wrong.
Endgame was already spoiled.
Only tanuki can have balls that big.
People are still trying to force a shipwar, even though it feels more like a friendship end.
They were going to use the wish to get aniki out of deep shit, which means he wouldn't have needed to flee and thus run into the yakuza ambush.
Everything is the Otters' fault, actually.
MMMMMM WHATCHA SAAYYYYYY
She's so moe there. I remember him being more ikimen-ish.
I don't see him as sympathetic, it makes what he was doing to Toi look worse.
I secretly wanted Akira Ishida to voice Keppi, but Suwabe's good too. I have no complaints.
What's with all the Enta bullying? Enta's learned from his mistakes, made sacrifices, and is the most level-headed of the three.
Is it just because he's a threat to KazuToi? He already stated that he's okay with the current state of his relationship with Kazuki, even though that part was poorly handled. And Toi and Kazuki are very likely not gay.
You forgot Haruka and even if they were perverts, they didn't really deserve to die.
>fanart
Nigga at least get a good screen cap
Yurikuma has male characters? I thought it's yuri show.
I was planning to rewatch the show before episode 10 aired, but only managed to finish the first six episodes. It had some nice foreshadowing, like Haruka's big ass ace of spades covering Enta's queen of hearts.
Haruka's fine too, and again he was forced to kill the perverts. Otter empire would've killed them both if he didn't.
Singing otter
Even ikemen are doomed to look like cute grills, it's /u/ after all.
Stop trying to force fanbase wars. God, and I thought you were gone for good by now.
*He's
So cute I forgot his pronoun.
He got in the way of a pairing that is not likely to happen. Also went against the fan favorite.
"aniki" is responsible for his own actions and i can't believe people are acting like it wasn't chikai's fault anyway for making so many enemies and for willingly dragging toi back into a life like that. toi making excuses for his brother makes sense, people blaming that all on enta doesn't.
Did you see that fucking chin
I think I have a decent idea how this will end. Rewatched ep1 recently, and it looks like there are tons of the A symbols falling out of holes from some large white surface. Something will cause a massive reset, probably keppi fusing with kuro. Sara mentioned all the connections in the world are about to break apart. The giant circle is gonna break apart but keppi/sara has them fall down on everyone, so they remember their connections just like when Reo was looking at the mabu keychain.
Where's Haruka?
Shipwar shit, and anikifags.
Hence my earlier comment, (not that aniki didn't deserve it). Enta just enabled it at the time.
Why is he like that? What the hell.
Has Ikuhara finally lost it? This show is so mediocre, YKA is way better and fuck plebs who think the contrary.
That's his nose
Wasn't he getting all distorted at that point? I have hope.
There were 3 guys, but they didn't contribute much to the story.
Reminds me of this illustration by Ichikawa Haruko.
>implying Chikai wouldn't have gone back to a life of crime anyway, due to his way of thinking
The only thing that could've saved him was a lobotomy.
Is he a Jew?
>half the episode is everyone standing around looking agape and the bad cop drama
Can't wait for it to end
>reset
no pls
this would be the worst ending
Literally no one in YKA had a personality outside of Lulu which made the overall love story fall completely flat.
I hate how much sense this makes. God damn it Ikuhara you fucking hack.
Haruka will sacrifice himself for everyone's happiness.
Toi, Kazuki and Enta are alpha, beta and omega. Respectively.
I want to squeeze Keppi
Kappa can transform. I will keep believing. If Sara's that cute, Keppi can become handsome too.
I don't want the most banal and speculated theory to end up true, please.
>they were going to wish that the yakuza who murders and tortures people for a living would be magically free of all the consequence of his actions when the original wish was for a 9 year old who was crippled in a car accident to be healed
Yeah, a real tragedy, can't believe Enta would fuck Chiaki over like that
How are people acting like Chikai wasn't shit after he shot a kid who worked for him for no reason? Even the way he treats Toi, he's fine with Toi giving up his hobbies or any semblance of a normal life to go into his dangerous life. An unselfish person wouldn't do that.
They're the Sara of the show.
Hang in there Keppi.
Chin, beak, nose, whatever it is it's deformed
Fishing bros was so fun. When will Nakamura make an anime next?
The character writing in this show is no better, in fact it is worse, be honest with yourself.
I thought Toi was on top of Enta for a second there.
Best part of the show that appears for like 10 seconds every episode?
*Chikai
I need sleep.
Wait, how does the previous ep scene with the otter fit into this context?
>gives love a bad name
>gets shot through the heart
Bravo Ikuhara, I clapped.
>no reason
That kid knew how Toi was the one who killed that gang leader years ago. Chikai killed him so he wouldn't spread that.
Thinking about it even more, keppi said he split his shirikodama in two. So the boys will beat some sense into toi, and then a final sarazanmai transfer kuro's shirikodama to keppi. This will cause the reset.
Chikai almost seemed like he was ready to leave Toi behind and run away until he caught up with him. Then he did start pulling the trigger on Tooi. Dude was messed up.
Nope. At the very least, the characters all have a clear goal, clear personality traits, quirks and differing relationships with each other. I can't say the same for those in YKA.
If anyone treats Toi the worst in this show, its his own brother. People just understood Toi's feelings too much that they wanted to believe his brother was still a good person.
How will this not be rushed as fuck, if true?
Stand by me onegai
So the manga is post canon, right?
I remember reading that Suwabe ad-libbed that bit. Am I making things up, or is he that based?
Killing him was still meant to show how far gone Chikai was. If that was philosophy, Toi was right to wonder if he could be discarded next.
So Reo was just a crazy asshole and died a crazy asshole
In both scenes, the otter is abusing Mabu and making Reo see it, in order to cause them both despair.
The otters drove him crazy. He was just your average friendly gay neighborhood cop before.
You know, I didn't really care about the cops, but I think Reo chaotically switching between the gun slots was such a great representation of his despair.
Reo and Mabu seem to be humans who have lived a completely human life previously there. So I think so.
>people actually liked YKA
Yeah, it really hit home just how far gone and lost he was. The voice acting was perfect too.
>people have good taste
Good. Gao gao.
There's no possible edit for this week's levels of suffering.
?
Lulu was too good for that show and best girl. The rest is just trash.
Reo had the true love bullet.
At her wedding to Keppi
How come Lulu is much more respectable cuck than Enta
What's the worst possible way this could end for you? I hope they don't do a reset with everyone's memories wiped.
I'm just trying to remember what Kureha's personality was. I literally cannot remember besides "wants to kill bears".
THE HEART
One gaijin should be shot through the heart, another one blacked out like Mabu in the photo, somehow work in tentacle otters and NTR.
Reaction edit?
There was plenty of good in the rest of the show even with its flaws. But Lulu is the best yes.
Enta's little speech here was kinda cool.
I'm glad that getting almost shot to death knocked some sense into him.
>reworking on your connection from the beginning and maybe fucking up again
Truly horrible, please Ikuhara don't become a mediocre director.
Aniki did nothing wrong, did everything for Toi and deserves to be brought back with the plates
t.oi
This was great
>I think I dropped YKA after 2 episodes because I disliked Kureha or something and never looked bac
Guess I'll bite the bullet and spend 5 hours marathonning so I can properly rank all of Ikuni's works
aniki could have just gotten a normal job
Will Kazuki ever learn, god damn
based Ikuhara showing people that only retards choose a life of crime
Enta is fully redeemed in my eyes at last.
>Kazuki got punched in the face (gently)
10/10 from me just for that.
>did everything for Toi
Does that include leaving him to fight against multiple armed yakuza while aniki ran away even though he revealed he had a spare gun two minutes later?
Is the instrumental version of the cops' song included in the OST?
This episodes reaffirmed Enta as best boy in my eyes
Nope
This, together with the otter delusion was actually an unexpectedly good way to tie up the one-sided love thing. indeed.
Who doesn't user?
Enta stopping his enabling ways and calling Kazuki's bullshit out is the best character development.
Now that japan has finally gave the fujoshis what they wanted what will be the next big gay anime? I am now hooked and want more
Given or that one yakuza BL anime that's coming out but they'll probably both flop relatively
Fuck off.
Given is getting an anime adaption? And what is this yakuza ting?
>big
I hadn't spoiled myself, but I thought it was kind of obvious something, most likely death, was going to happen to ReMa, since the official accounts kept posting pictures of them, same as they'd done with Chikai and Tooi before episode 9.
Open another thread for that.
It was obvious but not for the pictures posted by the staff.
The best thing he could do for Toi was to let him go and have a normal life. It would be hard for them both, but at least Toi would be safe.
Just no more deaths. Please, I'm so tired.
Mabu's harmony in Sarazanmai no Uta is too good. There will be another audio CD with this and the instrumental Kawausoiya, I hope.
Even Kazuki sacrificing himself would be so lame to me. I'm so down for a mindblowing nonsensical ending that will still be analyzed in 10 years.
tfw 90% of the Enta fanart for a good while is going to be Otterzuki rape
You say this like it's a bad thing.
Do you prefer Chikai or cucumbers?
This. The only thing he did wrong was not let go of his selfish love for Toi.
>Cross that river. Because you will never be able to return again.
Ah, shit.
It's a pain in the ass trying to connect okay
Reo and Mabu stay dead and Sara never mentions them.
Kazuki sacrifices himself for Toi and Enta who in the new world are firends. Haruka is shown alone.
Keppi is evil, still marries Sara.
90% of fan art for Enta is rape anyway.
10 episodes of nothing. What a waste of time.
This better not be some fucking metaphor about dying or so help me, god.
>reo became a crazy murderer because of a misunderstanding
It is, next season already. And the yakuza one is Saezuru Tori wa Habatakanai, but it's a movie, so it'll take a while to hit nip cinemas and then another while to hit the torrents.
That is exactly what it is.
Quick, pour some water on them!
He became a crazy murderer due to years of otter fuckery.
Something happened.
All Sarazanmai doujinshi will be NTR. I just know.
>For example, even if everything passes, even if this world becomes empty.
No, he did because he and his partner were being deliberately and effectively manipulated into deep despair, which included a desensitizing job of having to kill people to save their own skins. Despite the stupid metaphor Ikuhara claimed to be making, it wasn't a "misunderstanding" by Reo, it was Reo's reaction to being lied to. The otter forced a devastating falsehood onto Reo.
Keppi is pretty much confirmed for not evil at this point. I was actually touched about how much he genuinely felt for Reo and Mabu.
What do you define nothing as user
Connections can kill you! Become a hikikomori so no one can hurt you!
That's just too obvious, honestly.
Maybe it's like some shit about how there is no coming back once the connection has been forged and you allowed others to know your heart.
Just let me dream, man.
I mean, I have complaints too but you definitely can’t say “nothing” happened
>Am I a lie?
>Is the world a lie?
>Are we a lie?
NO PARENTS
>the boys all die and get to be happy in the next life
>the moral is literally “fuck this gay earth”
Based
Why was he so eager for Kazuki to sacrifice himself then?
Rewatching the start of the first ep the impression I get is Haruka sacrificing himself for a reset. I really hope that's not it.
>I was actually touched about how much he genuinely felt for Reo and Mabu.
Same. He understood completely that the both of them were suffering, not willingly doing evil. The way he spoke about them and to Reo sounded like a prince taking responsibility for what became of them. It was charming.
That’s why you gotta properly communicate
It wasn't eagerness as much as he was just presenting the option to Kazuki. Maybe Keppi too needed to realize over the course of this show that sacrifice isn't the best answer. I could see that coming up in episode 11.
Watching Kazuki getting kicked in the head felt so satisfying.
NO MORE SACRIFICES! ENTA FORBIDS IT!
What if it's not a reset but a time loop?
Nice catch from several people and I feel pretty dumb now for not noticing. Mabu changed pronouns because he couldn't use 'ore' to say he hated Reo, so he switched to 'watashi'.
As corny as it sounds I really hope Toi gets to see/speak to Chikai one last time, just so he can express his feelings to Toi and let him know that it's okay to go on without him
僕たちがウッソーなのか。
By the -nanoka structure it's asking which one of those is true.
So what the fuck was Mabu doing here with the otter?
So Mabu just wasn't allowed to verbally express his love for Reo. Does telling him about the heart-bomb count? Did non-verbal expressions count?
Resolving a time loop in one ep seems even worse than ending with a reset.
>Reo x Mabu
>Keppi x Sara
Polyam shotas confirmed
Mabu being forced into keeping his love for Reo silent in order to survive is a commentary on socially sanctioned homophobia and Reo’s desire for Mabu materializing as an otter that tortures both of them is about how internalized homophobia manifests in people under the thumb of that social system
Connections are supposed to be what sets off the bomb forcing him to act cold, telling Reo about it would be a death sentence.
Maintenance
>Keppi turns Kazuki into kappa ghidorah and he and otterzilla Toi beat the shit out of eachother
Name a better ending. You can’t.
My god Mabu was too perfect to live.
Agreed. I'm so mad that little faggot survived. Though Kazuki is still worse.
I'm confused by almost literally everything pending a rewatch so I'll just ask one question.
Why did Slut Kazuki repel Enta so much he broke the mind control just to reject him?
Well, fuck.
They aren't even gay. Mabu is is partner an he loves him, but it doesn't mean romantic love. You can love your family, they are obvious more like brothers.
Nothing that cool would happen, they’ll probably just cry like fags and then double team Enta while making out and wearing matching Sara dresses.
Anything kind or earnest he said would have been out of love.
Because he didn't want to be the golden combi anymore.
Toi will never be your butt toy, get over it.
I see you want the fujos' (You)'s user. Get ready.
>driving force of half of the series is not in the image
>Sara, which has been mostly a gag character, is
Defend this.
It seemed too good to be true for him, and it was.
He needs three heads for that, can Enta and Harukappa join?
Because I self-insert as Tooi. I cannot hate myself.
>tfw Mabu passionately takes over the line "yank it out!" after he assumes the position
Power bottom Mabu confirmed.
>Keppi turns Kazuki AND Enta into kappa ghidorah
How about that?
(You)
I know this is a joke but... try harder
He knew Kazuki would never say that.
Enta fetishizes straight boys and gayKazuki was a turn-off for him.
KINO
Haruka was unable to get out of his wheelchair for this photoshoot.
Fuck Ikuhara.
Yeah unless she does something in the final episode, what was Sara’s deal? I mean I guess she was the Greek Chorus like the Shadow Girls in Utena and that was the only function they had to serve, but still. Sara feels like she should’ve been more present than she was.
He literally says what he's doing there.
I just want Otterzilla again
Kek, how awful.
Enta is not dead.
Explain
The show is like a beautiful cake with nothing underneath. At first, the visual satisfies you, but after ten weeks, you notice that it's not enough and you are still hungry.
>Haruka and Enta survived so it's fine
They would have died if they hadn't been saved by Kazuki, and Reo didn't feel any remorse about it. He was willing to kill two innocent children, Enta was to further his own agenda, but Haruka was just because he was butthurt. He's a bad person, and his actions can't simply be forgiven with >but they are ok now
Can you see it, dish?
Welp, I guess it's confirmed, Haruka fucking dies in ep 11.
gay incest?
So I guess Houkago Kappa just isn't about anything in the show?
Nii-san sucking on Enta-lolipop?
Ikuhara's words are echoing in my head: "look forward to find out more about Sara's secrect!"
I'm still waiting.
>yellow lolly
He deep throated Enta?
I feel like I’m spying on a very intimate moment
Penguindrum had the worst ending. Prove me wrong.
>the burden of what the parents do is thrust onto the child and dooms them
>fate will punish the innocent child for this
>but you can find other people who are suffering, choose your family and support them, giving both you and others a reason for living
>actually this isn't good enough though
>the only way to save your imouto from the cursed fate your parents put on you is sacrifice yourself for some reason and then the world resets and then everyone forgets you
>so those relationships you built up meant shit actually
Enta is so scared of changing his relationship with Kazuki that he prefers to stay in the closet to be frends with him forever. Reminds of that one episode of Jigoku Shoujo where a girl acts like a complete doormat for the friend she has a crush on (lets him use her room to have sex with other girls, lends her money for dates, etc.) and as soon as the guy starts showing interest for her she freaks out and pushes him out the window.
>He is a bad person
Next you'll be saying his actions "are not okay"
I know right, all the other zombies felt like gags, but knowing the relationship between Reo and Mabu made it pretty embarrassing to watch.
Just recalling (iirc) that being the function when contrasting items.
Like "which one me, the world, or us is a lie"
Picked up assuming it's a comedy, intentional or not.
two white homos but one is exploding like the Mabu blow up scene
It's an edited version of a song of the band of Sara's VA, originally called "Houkago Yahho".
I'm sure they were just advertisting Shoujo shiki Elise.
I want to lick those abs
He knew it wasn’t the real Kazuki. Enta is mentally strong, for the most part.
>Haruka was just because he was butthurt
Reo was there to make Haruka a zombie just like any of the other zombies in the show. Haruka already had the otter app on his phone because he had been identified as kappa zombie material.
>Holding the little Mabu ring in his hand while forgetting him
Too cruel
>Not knowing Jigoku Shoujo
Is that what feeling old is like?
>spending years obliviously no way fagging your friend
>training him to know in his heart that his homo love has no chance and should never be acted on
>this saves the world from darkness
What is the lesson here?
Mabu said Reo acted on his own, which means he wasn't ordered to zombify Haruka. He was probably meant just to keep an eye at him, but jumped the gun because he was butthurt.
Never fall for a straight boy
The show never says anything about Kazuki's sexuality, though.
I think it's a jab at anime/manga being absolutely terrified of ever actually confirming a gay couple in a series.
I'm a retard where is this from?
rivers in japanese folklore are usually symbolism for death, crossing a river is crossing to the realm of the death, I'm scared
Nips act like fags on a normal day. Maybe he really will be straight. What a hilarious way to end the love triangle drama.
Which itself is a result of homophobia
>chikai's death the most kino moment of the show
feels good to be an anikifag
And now I need a webm of that scene.
Kazuki stop posting
He killed a cop before attempting murder on a child.
Tooi moves on. Reo&Mabu ded for good. Kazuki never learns and remains a retard forever. Somehow Tooi is still friends with Kazuki and Enta.
Chikai's character wasn't deserving of the good visuals and the flashbacks during his death episode.
Wrapping things up for Reo and Mabu seemed sloppy as hell.
Anyone sacrifices themselves.
It's not about Chikai, it's about setting the stage for Toi's breakdown.
Chikai's visuals only seemed good because he's supposed to be ugly.
Then he transitions and we finally get the lesbian bingo space.
I seriously doubt this is the last we'll see of Reo and Mabu. And Chikai's death was really all about Toi, not his own character.
thanks, wow it's been a while
>Kazuki is straight
>Enta and Toi hook up and take turns dressing up as Sara and pretending to be Kazuki
Eh, I could live with that ending.
>ending credits are Keppi and Sara finding two babies on a dish
>it's Reo and Mabu
>they raise them as their own
>the trio are like cool uncles who teach them how to play soccer, roll blunts, and apply mascara
>montage of Reo and Mabu having a happy family life, winning soccer tournaments, graduating high school and the police academy
>we see an older Keppi, Sara, and the boys at the ReoMabu wedding
my uncle cooks ningouyaki for Ikuhara, how do you like the ending?
I agree on both points user, but we can't really be 100% sure that this was their "end" yet since Keppi in a way implied otherwise
I don't think cops are 100% done, the mystery past with Sara from the manga still has to be addressed.
how are you stretching a cake for ten weeks
Has anime produced a more cinematic moment than this?
Any sacrifices or memory loss would be bullshit and grounds for a unsatisfyingly bittersweet ending. The show seems to have been pushing the whole time that sacrifice is bad and that people need to adapt and move forward. I'll be frustrated if that shifts suddenly.
Not bad
>everyone wanted Enta to go to Mabu and Reo for gay love advice
>Mabu and Reo go to Enta for an advice instead
How subversive!
incest bingo space
Aniki deserved all that and more
Mabu is Jesus.
>an ending that combines reincarnation, childhood friends, forgotten memories, incest, gay, and nothing making fucking sense
P E A K I K U N I
I'm just uncultured, user. I've been here a while.
Why did he look so sad here?
T posing for rabu
>Dab for Kazutoi
>T-pose for Rabu
Based meme ships
I liked how Reo knew that Mabu was going to say “I love you” before he actually said it
Cringe.
He'd been at the prescreening.
Toi will wear the middle school soccer uniform and Enta will have to wear the Sara cosplay. They bicker a lot but they’ve been together for 12 years. Kazuki never catches on and still thinks they’re roommates.
Your life is cringe.
Back.
>those marks
I see what you did there
Chikai suddenly appearing behind Toi looked like Toi suddenly manifesting a stand.
Damn
Kazuki's self worth is so low the idea of someone being romantically in love with him is completely baffling
I'm assuming this is when their parents started to go into debt and when Chikai started to dabble in shady yakuza stuff. Probably sad because he knows he's not going down the right path and that he won't get to enjoy Toi's childhood with him.
Seething.
Is aniki gonna tell Toi to move on with his life and then ZA HANDO dark Keppi?
You're mom sure was seething last night
cute but also sad but also cute
>invite Kazuki to their wedding
>wow, you guys are both getting married on the same day?
I would hate a reset ending if it means the memories are undone, why the fuck are some authors so allergic to the idea of letting characters live with the weight of their choices in their shoulders, try to live with them and make up for them?
And if they forget their mistakes, what guarantees they won't make them again? This undoes character development
Reo feeling bad for everything he did to Mabu and the children, try to make up for it and improve himself is much better than just making him forget and "try to not fuck up this time".
For a guy who grew up with ur mom's a slut, he seems oblivious to the existence of romance/sexuality in general.
I'm sure many find your shit taste disgusting.
Clueless retard Kazuki is the best.
ORE WA STANDO「SHOT THROUGH THE HEART 」
Does it look like a comedy to you?

user fucked your mom, of course his taste is disgusting.
Wow he is literally me
And I'm sure many find your groin stench disgusting
>they hire SamFlam's writer to write Kazuki's dialogue
Except none of this would have happened to Reo and Mabu if the otters hadn't fucked with them, and Keppi probably feels partially responsible as well. Which is probably why he turned them into keyrings or whatever the fuck.
Only Mabu can be allowed to lose his memories since Reo is suppose to accept his changes.
Holy flying duck. I want it.
If any kind of reset happens, it better be with everyone still having their memories.
He's me too.
www
cute
I want SamFlam's ending but with Kazuki and Toi.
Just needs a bullet hole through far right's chest and it's perfect.
Hi Ikuhara
Mabu sees the Otter as Reo when he gets fucked by the Otter. I swear are ya'll really this damn dense?
More like Chikai's Stand was Notorious Big.
The drama escalated faster than normal this episode with the reckless pacing. Could barely get into whatever was going on with the gay cops. Not very invested in the kids but at least the show has been following them closely so I can give some fucks. Keppi is my favourite.
Source, please?
Why does Mabu have a gun and no megane? user's suggestion of the Mabu-gaijin being blacked out like before he disappears from the photo pretty good too.
Good taste dish
This line feels more important than the one where Keppi says they're both asleep. Seems like he really plans to make up for everything Reo and Mabu went through.
SING THAT SONG
If the otter symbolizes desire, why does "desire" try to fuck people up emotionally and/or make them obsess over their fetishes? Explain it to me as a brainlet.
KAPPA NI NATTE LUCKY
And he flipped Mabu's ring into Reo's pocket instead of absorbing it.

The otters are their own thing, but they manifest through desire. They fuck up peoples' connections because people who can't connect will more stongly desire to do so, and more desire = good for otters.
>a bunch of sold out character goods are getting second productions
So, merch sales are going better than expected. I feel like character goods don't get reprinted all that often, but I guess I don't consume and check on a ton of different series.

>not noticing the two much more self-centered MCs
kappa_pn
but 5ch lied, the plate that broke was the fake costume one Haruka had not Sara's plate
I thought that plate was a cotume prop made of plastic or something, we saw it fall before, I wonder what kind of magic happened them
Also I want the director's cut scene of Haruka fanboying because the real Sara is talking to him
Thank you.
So basically, no horniness allowed, or you get the kappa zombie treatment?
Toi a subhhuman
TORIMODOSANAKYA IKENAI MONO GA ARU
*enta a subhuman
More like "if you place horniness over actually connections with people fuck you"
Is it just me or does it seen like the Kuji bros have suffered an unfair amount compared to Enta and Kazuki
*kazuki a subhuman
This episode solidified Keppi and Enta as the best boys.
If next episode isn’t
>I want to connect, so...
instead of but... I’m gonna be pissed boys.
self-inflicted suffering
I'd say Kazuki suffered plenty. But Reo and Mabu have suffered an unfair amount compared to just everybody too.
Given that one is a serial murderer and both are violent criminals they got off easy.
*reo a subhuman
Chikai literally deserves the amount of suffering he gets. He chose to join the yakuza and do a ton of shitty things. Toi also made the choice to stand by his brother even if it meant becoming a "bad" person too. They're getting an appropriate amount of suffering for their choices.
very racist, uncool
Chikai is the subhuman. Enta is a normal desperate gay kid. Toi is being a fuckup, but he's very much a product of circumstance.
>i want to connect so we're having a threesome
Exactly. Losing your parents and your brother is a tragedy. Enta's crush pales in comparison. Kazuki's issues? 'I don't belong in my family!' Oh boo fucking hoo! Seriously, the Kazuki type is the worst kind of protag.
>not continuing the joke
(You) a subhuman
Nothing that happened to Chikai was unfair. It all stems from his deliberate and conscious choices.
Toi has suffered unjustly but he should stop putting himself deeper into it.
Keppi is the only human on the whole show
*mabu a subhuman ;_;
Which is why Toi is the final boss in terms of who needs to be saved.
I'm... the subhuman all along?
It's pretty culturally Japanese but still doesn't stack up against Toi's troubles.
I'll be sad if Enta does not end up with one or two bfs by the end of the show.
Yeah, like their parents getting in debt and killing themselves was Chikai's fault!
Speedwatchers, everyone!
Kazuki's younger brother got crippled right in front of him and he blamed himself for years. Enta is the only one I agree that just suffered a normal amount for a teenage boy.
not him but we can take multiple angles, user
He'll unironically end up with Keppi
He’s suffered enough he deserves a cute guy (or two) to dote on him and accept him for who he is
No, he's a kappa.
nah
enta deserves to die alone
He could've just gotten a normal job. Was saving their soba restaurant really worth everything Chikai did? There's no excuses for him.
I feel even less for Kazuki's family issues (besides Haruka's accident) since his adoptive father is literally his uncle and therefore they are a part of his biological family.
Kazuki and Toi will take turns on him.
>implying Chikai isn't a product of circumstance either
He only got involved with the yakuza to get the deed and money for their soba shop
>Yeah, !
>!
At least hide your alien typing when making dumb posts user.
He also got his brother’s legs fucked by leaving him in the street. Worst brother ever
When’d they say this? Am I a retarded speedwatcher or is this from an interview or something?
Wait what
but user, a broken heart
>he's supposed to be ugly
?
You fucking what? Have you actually watched any of the scenes he was in?
He wanted to honour the memory of his parents, you unfilial user.
Novel.
Novel.
Chikai did not begin his criminal activity because of his parents' deaths. I'm not the one who sounds like a speedwatcher here.
>cinematic
kino
I don't expect anything, but I feel the same, user.
Even a last minute forced epilogue with one of the two soccer chads Toi beat up is better than nothing.
HELP ME TO TAKE OVER ASAKUSA
Someone with photoshop make Reo and Mabu into Securitrons.
Repeating, was that worth everything Chikai did? He wasn't even doing it for survival. They could've just moved with their uncles and lived normal lives. Chikai ruined everything for himself and for Toi.
You honestly are hoping for bad and forced writing for the sake of empty shipping?
That's really sad.
if your mom is his only other option then yeah
No. You missed the point because you don't unselfishly appreciate pureness, user.
This but with Kazuki.
How is it pure for Enta to be abruptly saddled with one of his bullies with no explanation and therefore no indication that he'd be treated well in the relationship?
>Chikai did not begin his criminal activity because of his parents' deaths
Are you saying he started before his parents died?
Yes. I learned this by watching the anime.
>Enta actually turns down cock
Good for him. Fanartists don't have that kind of restraint, though
Does Kazuki really want a boyfriend or just a bp-worshipping slave, no homo? His behavior makes me wonder sometimes.
>Mom and Dad should've lived, you should've been the one to die
Their aunt and uncle had already disowned Chikai by this point. Chikai did what he did for the soba shop to (try) and save/keep the only connection he had left in the world, which was Toi.
I can't believe Ikuni had to lie about this show to get it made.
Ignoring the rest of the visual, the glistening fluid dripping down from Mabu's asshole over his ballsack is erotic.
I'd become a murderer too if I lived with Mabu and was never able to properly make love to him.
Can someone please quieres edit this
>his bullies
Uh, you might want to rewatch that bit.
Of course it wasn't worth it but the reason he wanted to save the soba restaurant is because Toi was distraught over it and Chikai and Toi's relationship was already under strain. The whole point of Toi and Chikai's story is that really all they wanted was to be together but neither expressed that well to the other and thus they made mistaken assumptions of what the other wanted and kept digging themselves a deeper hole.
Good. That Kyubey twist is some edgelord bullshit.
No wonder Mabu fell for him. Cucumber Farmer Reo a best.
Sorry, you're right, he was the instigator. They still were kids with enough of a grudge to indulgently beat the shit out of him.
When is it mentioned?
Yeah, I feel bad for thinking he was evil. Even after everything Reo did he still was only angry at the otters for what they did to him and Mabu.
It made me feel lust.
Did Ikuhara BTFO shotashipperfags yet? It's obvious none of them will end up together
Layers within Layers
The fuck were they supposed to do, stay still while Enta stormed against them?
>seething entoifag
He's dead, my guy. Nothing but otter Chikai left.
I ship the main trio/a non reset ending where no one sacrifices themselves and they're all happy. How fucked am I?
That's just the natural state of things in this world. I think Enta's been bullied in some way by literally every male character he's met.
And that gave Reo yet another reason to believe it's not "his" Mabu. Perfect.
Why would the aunt and uncle have condemned Chikai as a lost cause even prior to the parents' deaths if Chikai weren't doing bad shit? Chikai was also already in a gang when he showed up to at the soba shop once his parents passed away. Not to mention he's clearly gone sleazy when Toi is very little, in the flashbacks during his death scene.
suwabe must enjoy his role everytime ikuni calls him to do VA
thanks user you pretty much summed up why I love the Kuji bros and their tragedy so much
>brothers who want to be together but are fated to be part
That's not the point, I'm not saying they're literally Hitler. Just that it's sad and cheap to say Enta randomly being paired with one of them, when their only interaction was a physical fight, would be preferable to Enta not being paired with anyone.
Everyone in this show is a bottom, including Keppi. They top only out of love.
>Consciously decided to enter a life of crime and drag his baby brother together just because he was too retarted to say he loved him
It's like a worse version of Kazuki.
I think user's making the reasonable assumption that he wasn't trying to beat them senseless, so knocking him out was going beyond self-defense.
She's really post-transition Kazuki, time-traveled from the future.
It all fits.
It's important to remember that Chikai was a criminal before their parents died. He didn't become one for Toi's sake or anything. He was already driving off a cliff and then he took Toi with him.
thanks user you pretty much summed up why I love the Kuji bros and their tragedy so much
>brothers who want to be together but are fated to be apart
little cocktease deserves it for lusting for cock
Yeah, I don't know how anons are reading it as though Chikai submerged himself in the darkness for the sake of his otouto or something.
I say this as typically an incestfag, and also as someone who has a great deal of empathy for Chikai: he was a trash brother.
>boyfriend
>bp-worshipping slave, no homo
>implying they aren't the same thing
I really want the cops to get some semi happy end but I don't want a general reset end help. Don't know how Ikuhara could revive these two or give them a life in another world or whatever but not everybody else and reset the world or some shit.
>tfw I've watched the episode at least eight times today
>feel tempted to watch it again
Asenshi, when? I'm not used to this.
The furthest back we see Chikai work for the mafia is when it's already mentioned his parents have died and left behind a debt.
>aunt and uncle have condemned Chikai as a lost cause even prior to the parents' deaths
When is this? I thought that only happened in the present day scene.
>give them a life in another world
Kappa Kingdom. Time to grant a repentant Reo a humble life farming cucumbers with his husband.
Monday-Tuesday
There's bullshit magic in this world. It doesn't seem like there isn't some magic Keppi can asspull specifically to revive two fellow magical kappa who haven't fully disappeared from the world.
Pretty sure he wants Toi's cucumber, user.
Everyone in the kingdom is dead except for Keppi, Sara, and the manager though
As opposed to Enta, who couldn't say he hated Kazuki at all.
Pretty sure that's just your headcanon
Do series that aren't older hypes like TaB and YoI even still get any? All I see is mobile shit, it's worse than Touhou ever was.
Sorry, user, we just believe different things. Based on all the evidence, I believe purest boy would get more happiness from cheap and random dicks than no dicks.
He's thinking about all the crack he needs to push.
Reo and Mabu are kappa, they're already full of magical bullshit. They can come back.
>The furthest back we see Chikai work for the mafia is when it's already mentioned his parents have died and left behind a debt.
He is already in a gang, wearing its jacket, when he shows up. He wasn't trying to save the shop at that time. It's supposition to say he joined the gang specifically for his parents' debt prior to their deaths, especially given his appearance/behavior in the flashbacks.
>When is this? I thought that only happened in the present day scene.
I blurred some scenes together, just rewatched for clarity. The uncle is not exactly welcoming to Chikai when Chikai brings the money to save the shop, but doesn't explicitly condemn him there.
I think he's just retarded.
Why does Toi look irritated here?
Imagine there was some otter demon out there that would change his appearance to your waifu or husbando, I don't want to know how many people would get DESIRE'd that way.
>KazuEnta is the parallel of ReoMabu
>KazuHaru is the parallel of ChikaiToi
Sasuga Ikuhara
But being retarded is no barrier to thinking people are in love with you.
Did the guys from SamFlam smash? Or was it one of those ambiguous endings?
Keppi has the powers of a really goofy, ass-eating god.
It wasn't ambiguous but it was retconned and nohomoed by staff.
>she doesn't know
Director no-homo'd that shit so fast, it became a meme
When he shows up in the gang jacket the debt has already been mentioned and he throws the money to Toi, implying he was doing it to provide for them. There's nothing that implies he was in a gang before their deaths. Also the other implication is he only starts doing the really dirty work once the eviction notice comes, since he gets the gun after that.
Iirc the director said nothing changed between the two male leads and that they both didn't get any character development at all.
KEPPI LEMME SMASH
They got no-homo'd. Guy1 tells Guy2 that he'll replace his dead girlfriend and marry him, but Guy2 is still comically attached to role-playing as his dead girlfriend in the end. Their relationship doesn't change at all after Guy1 expresses his feelings.
sauce?
>Also the other implication is he only starts doing the really dirty work once the eviction notice comes, since he gets the gun after that.
Yes, he went deeper into it once he resolved to save the shop for his brother. What caused the change in his appearance and demeanor in the death scene flashbacks? He was already going bad, user.
Aniki probably just came in his ass, gave him a lollipop as a "good job", rolled over and went to sleep
So what I've concluded from this thread is:
Chikai is a good boy
Dindu nuffin
How did Otter even become that strong all of a sudden?
Why is he incapable of keeping his shirt closed?
He literally didn't. Besides that whole part where he left Toi to shoot those yakuza members alone. I can't defend him there.
But they had to explain the "no he never got over his waifu issues" via the no-homo interview, because too many viewers thought he got healed.
It makes his husband happy.
He's flirting
Masa and the waterboard victims just wanted to be dommed.
Yeah, he was shit, but some tiny, non-shit part of himself still loved his otouto.
Oh, I completely agree with that. It unfortunately just was not enough.
It's called an Ikuhara anime. Now you know why everyone gargles his balls.
It was so retarded. Not only because of the forced last-minute no homo but it felt so unconcluded since the attachement was part of his problem.
Regarding gay bait shows nothing will ever come close to shit tier end Kado got though. It was the only end that retroactively turned a series I considered AOTS into horseshit I hate for like 10 different reasons. Usually a weak end will only drag a series down for me but not change my whole opinion on it.
I'm not really denying that, but he's still the sole reason why Toi's life is crap now and he has to sell weed and live with the fact he killed a man instead of living a normal life playing soccer. He's a massive fuckup and did a ton of things wrong.
>Masa's death
It was unavoidable. He needed to die to keep Toi safe.
>spoiler
Ah, yes.
Does anyone know if that picture of Toi he had can be seen in his jacket in any other episodes prior to 9? I'm at work rn or I'd look myself
Being an edgy teen? There's more than just black and white user. But sure maybe he was already doing some morally reprehensible things like smoking weed.
Well there is stuff but mobage/gacha is too strong, Yoi was just a couple of years ago so it is still alive and T&B fans seem to circle back to it a lot but there are a handful of doujin for everything if you dig long enough, the quality isn't that great often, but there are always a couple of good fan arts here and there.
But that one you mention was so terrible it was good. It's as if the writers wanted to completely punish the homosexuals of their world and broke all the laws of sanity to do it.
4th
>killed a man
Make that five, he even looks like he doesn't care anymore.
I want to bully Enta with my penis
Kek. Ikuni is pretty impressive for showing a guy diving into another guy's ass and then having a declaration of eternal love. Hope he still gets work after this.
>Trying to justify Chikai killing him
Now user, you're going a little too far on Anikifaggotry.
I don't like them as incest but I liked their plot and had no problem sympathizing with both Chikai and Toi even if I can see the many horrible decisions they(90% Chikai)made.
I guess it must feel better to say that every single shitty thing Chikai did was for Toi's sake, instead of watching his selfishness and his love for his brother struggle and fail to coexist.
Some metaphysical bullshit about libido.
I'm sure that's all the gun owning yakuza ever asked him to do.
is 2 bfs really enough for enta?
Maybe we consume too much porn and made them unkillable.
Enta proved himself loyal and refused the dripping welcome of otter cock, be nice to him.
>teen
He was 21
He clearly needs two.
have we seen it between 4 and 9 though? I know Chikai didn't have much screentime but I was wondering of it was visble in his jacket during episode 8
The pic flashback is in 4 but he doesn't have it in his pocket in 8
Enta was made for bullying with a penis.
Seriously, for his sake I hope he's bi or only gay for Kazuki because he's probably resigned himself to tfw no bf forever.
Of course, nothing in media ever means anything unless a character turns to the camera and states it explicitly to you. What's it like to wander through life completely incapable of thinking about anything that you consume?
It’s different when it’s golden triple cock.
he can be loyal to at least 3 if he puts his mind to it
Dang, their dad looks old. I wonder if mom is a second wife. It would explain the huge age gap between brothers.
I never said that. Literally all I've been doing is pointing out the things you said that weren't true. But true I'll give you that. You can take the ending scene as an implication of that even if it isn't confirmed anywhere else.
This pic is great because Kazuki obviously told them to do this, and they both think it's weird and awkward, but they always end up doing what Kazuki tells them to do.
why couldn't we protect their smiles bros ;_;
Good catch, user.
>Kazuki's biomom is a slut
>Toi's mom is a trophy wife
>Enta's sister is 50-50 on getting the kiss slut genes from their mom
Reminds me of that Italian? study showing that guys with hot moms are more likely to be gay
kazuki is such a jokester
>why does mabu have a gun
That's part of the template image
>Literally all I've been doing is pointing out the things you said that weren't true.
You pointed out one thing that I needed to correct regarding the aunt and uncle. Everything else was an obtuse dispute.
ok nerd

I love Mabu.
should have done 404 not found for mabu
why is he farming in that fancy uniform also holy shit his shirt open
The staff never got the memo. The mobage released a card of them in wedding clothes side by side just days after the no-homo interview.
He probably just went out with Mabu to pick fresh cucumbers after work or in the palace garden or something. They're kappa in the kappa world.
It also ended with a song about love.
