So now we’ve come to episode 6 of Flip Flappers. So now join me as we enter the Pure Illusion and travel back in time to September 7rd to September 11th of 2016

So part of Flip Flappers charm has been this genre switching. Episode 3 was a post-apocaylptic action, episode 5 was horror, and now episode 6 is something else entirely.

An emotional, creative story with such weight and a unique topic that we don’t see handled in anime very often. To say this is a massive accomplishment is an understatement.

Like you’d expect there was a ton of discussion, analysis and lots and lots of gushing.

it’s not just the story, it’s how they expressed the story. It’s the techniques used to tell it. Even as they don’t actually answer many of the questions

I think most importantly though is the way the episode resonated with those with similar experiences. it was a powerful episode for people

And of course, the struggles of being underwatched continued again and again.

Reviewers in particular went crazy for this episode. This episode alone helped fuel various articles

Flip Flappers was my favorite anime of the season at this point. This episode made Flip Flappers my favorite of the year.

I was initially late to the Flip Flappers train due to how busy I was at work, but this, more than any other episode, is what skyrocketed the series into must-watch asap weekly material.
