My one problem with Flip Flappers

I kinda agree that they didn't use the first few episodes to their full potential by cramming story down our throats, but I still think this series is doing a fantastic job. Personally, I feel it's the best show out this season.

As for your concerns, I agree Nyu needs a little more attention, but I feel like she is just suppose to be another Yayaka, another Pure Illusion child they succeeded in making. Papika's age also should be addressed, my guess is some wonky Pure Illusion shenanigans are going on.

As for how Papika and Mimi got caught, that isn't really all that important, IMO. All that matters really, is that they got caught. As for Salt's father, I believe he went insane because Mimi interacted with that glowy red gate in Pure Illusion or because some people are simply incompatible with that world.

TLDR; I respect and agree with some of your points, but still think this show is the best this season.

Yeah, there are some questions that haven't been answered yet, and I'd be a bit disappointed if they weren't answered in the final episode.

But I understand that they want to leave some things to our imaginations.

visual medium like anime tend to let the viewers fill in the blanks/gaps of the story

light novel and manga meanwhile tend to spoon feed every details of the story to the readers

i just accepted those observations of different entertainment medium really

For starters Nyunyu has done absolutely nothing since she was introduce really besides be a background character and beating up Buu.

AniMomo said:

We got slight backstory about the red gate that they entered before that altered Irodori but we have yet to have any of it fleshed out at all

AniMomo said:

also Cocona seemed to have completely given up on changing her back to how she was before.

AniMomo said:

How did Papika go from being young to older to young again. How did Mimi and Papika got caught after escaping the first time.

AniMomo said:

How exactly did Salt's father go insane, what did he see or was it just the act of him going into pure illusion.

I too found her too mysterious maybe just a comic relief to the show just like Buu? Though I feel that she has an important part on the series maybe will be save for the last?



From what I understand, the red gate that was first seen in episode 6 was some sort of a portal to access a human's sub-consciousness through Pure Illusion It was also shown in episode 11 during the Mimi/Salt flashback



I don't think it that way rather she's confused because of the events that happened to her especially in episode 10. Aside from that she was controlled by Mimi, the bad side of Mimi to be precise, but looking at the end part of episode 12 after she gained back to her self just shows that Cocona found her resolve.




Found this theory on reddit and I thought that it makes sense, credits to the poster:
"Soooo, possible idea, Mimi gives birth to Cocona and the three of them continue to live in Pure Illusion. Eventually Papikana decides they should leave, Mimi's all 'nah, fuck that', so Papikana points out that Mimi is holding her daughter hostage the same way that Mimi herself was once held. Mimi flips, beleiving that Papikana has been corrupted and is now her enemy, she then uses her power to try and bring back the real Papikana. This results in Papikana being 'reset' to the state that Mimi first met her (i.e. way younger) but this person has no memory of Mimi, or baby Cocona, or anything else that has happened and so Mimi locks her away and tries to forget all about her. Eventually Cocona discovers Papika and helps her to escape, which is possibly what we're seeing in that picture you've linked."




He went to Pure Illusion through ELPIS the lab's own way of accessing Pure Illusion via Mimi and Papikana, most probably he thought endless possibilities on the use of Pure Illusion in real world. World domination(?)

Well as much as I want to know everything on this show, I'm also fine if they don't make it point out at all just for the whimsical and mystic vibes on it.

The main things they need to explain in the next episode are:

1) Papika shrinking into a middle school student
2) Nyunyu
3) Cocona's Grandma's actual existence

RainyRai said:

Her grandma was already explained, she was just a robot working for the KKK team.

AniMomo said:


I think what he means is like if Cocona actually had a grandmother and stuff, like does she actually exist.

I enjoy playing its OP theme "Serendipity" in Osu and now I'm interested to watch it. Is it worth it?
