Episode 66: 2.22: GREETINGS TO ALL
In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 4-6 of Flip Flappers.
Content warning: dementia + rough family stuff with a side of questionable fanservice.
This week, the show is firing on all cylinders with some heart-wrenching content, questions about the metaphysics of the Flip Flap world, discussions of art itself, a dive into the yuri genre's tropes and history, and also: casual violence! Cocona, Papika, and Yayaka have gotten themselves in trouble again...
Show Notes
Apparently Discovery Zone (https://discoveryzone.com) returned from the dead at some point, by which I mean someone bought the name and made a few of them out in Ohio. It's still cool to see it live on, though, and the website will give you a good idea of what this whole concept looks like.
I (Sibyl) will never back down from my love of the Neptunia series, and yes, they did just release a JRPG based around the concept of a Sega expy teaming up with Japanese Vtubers in combat (https://ideafintl.com/nep-virtual-stars/). It's fun.
Matt gives a good summary of it, but if you want a more detailed take on episode 5 and "Class S" yuri, Anime Feminist has you covered (https://www.animefeminist.com/escape-yuri-hell-flip-flappers-critique-class-s-genre/).
If you're listening to an anime podcast, there's a 99.9% chance you've SEEN Pop Team Epic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop_Team_Epic) in passing via memes, if you're unfamiliar. It's either extremely your style or going to push you away with force.
I refer to AC-bu as "animators who are talented enough to deliberately make the mistakes they choose" and if you want an excellent summary of their work in passing, this music video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJE1HoHabMw) will explain everything.
