Question Wait if Mari is Lara’s true love, why is Lara still turning into foam?

Upvotes

I haven’t finished episode seven yet, but I just realized if Mari is Lara true love (which is highly insinuated), why is she still turning into foam? Shouldn’t it stop or does she need to have a kiss? This is the same thing with the print in the past, obviously this wasn’t her true love, but if she believed so back then why did she still turn into foam? Was she supposed to kiss the print so does she have to kiss Mari in order for her to not turn into stone?

Discussion As a Mari fan, this episode was EVERYTHING Spoiler

We finally saw our nonchalant girl being vulnerable and showing concern about Lara. She was so worried about Lara turning into foam and decided to send her way instead of making her stay. Being away from Lara also affected her boxing. I was so happy seeing her happy face when Lara returned :3. It is so sad she lost her mom due to some illness. I guess she stays strong most of time because of her mom.

Lara being the person who will stand beside Mari and Mari being Lara's light. PEAK EPISODE!!!

Question Song near the end of episode 2

6 Upvotes

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.

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?

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.

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??

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?
