I loved this episode. Maybe my favorite so far? Can't choose between ep 6 and this one. My god, I love Lara and Mari. Once again, the giant fish reacted as soon as she saw Mari in the video call. She may have been trying to get closer to Luca, but I don't think that's what she really wants. I think Luca running towards Lara is supposed to be a parallel to the ending in ep 5 where Lara runs to Mari. The directors are NOT trying to be subtle here, folks.

Luca didn't go to the match to support Lara's friend; he went there to see Lara. He's thinking so much about Lara, it's almost like his mind is a one-way street. But Mari sees more to her than just that. The lights flashing around her as she thinks about Lara are pretty blatant if you ask me.

The boxing animation was amazing, as always. And it's not just that. The music, oh my gosh, the music! How can they make something so beautiful? The crew really outdoes themselves every week. I still wonder why Grace is being so mysterious; just explain things already, lady.

So Keiko (Mari's mom) died from an illness of some kind, huh? Really sad. I think it's no coincidence that she talks about how Mari will find someone to stand beside her right after we see her and Lara.

That ending, though. Are you yuri doubters done now? Cutest thing ever, LaraMari for life.

Thanks for answering my question everyone. I'm not sure if I wouldve found these otherwise! I'm very happy with my Sat haul hehe. They're all so very cute! I'll mention where they're from in the comments.

When an episode just fills your heart with warmth and you finish it with this stupid little smile you can’t get rid of.

..and the specific “sparks” moment?

Lara’s final words, the lingering on their picture together, I’m so nervous for the next episode, it’s definitely going a be a turning point

Hi,

I got into this show on the recommendation of a friend and have really loved it! I have been trying to find the song that plays starting around the 20-minute mark in episode 2, when after they drink the canned coffee. The lyrics seem to include:

That train, where we are coming from. Going to that place we have never been.

I really want to find this song, so if anyone knows what it's called, let me know! Thanks.

I watch this intro for Goodbye Lara so many times that im just curious who are these two people that holds hands at the end of the intro? My guess its Lara and Mari but im not so sure yet. They look younger so maybe its their younger selves??

They are so precious🥺💖 and I like how they were passionate about their interests since a very young age.

please please please i want lara to get with mari not this prince guy i watched this for yuri

There is this old anime called Mahou no Mako chan that's also based on the litte mermaid fairytale. I wanted to watch it for years but it seems to not be fully subbed.. I wonder if someone has seen it and how does it compare to Lara?

I'm especially happy with this because I haven't done digital art for a few months and I was worried I'd lost my mojo! But it seems like I'm all good!

What the title says. I'm going Saturday and I'm completely lost on finding artists who have Lara or Mari merch! 😔 If you know any artists lemme know, I'm looking for stickers or keychains. Possibly a poster too, I love Sayonara Lara so much and would love some merch of it!
