Flip Flappers	comment	Cocona is a girl who has friends and is intelligent enough, yet lacks any clear goals or motivations and lives a drab, dull middle-school existence. That all changes when Cocona sees an energetic girl with bright red hair flying past her on a hoverboard. This girl, named Papika, decides that Cocona absolutely must go on an adventure with her and takes her to a fantastic world called Pure Illusion. Before she knows it, Cocona, together with Papika, finds herself tasked by the mysterious organization FlipFlap to search Pure Illusion for gems called "Amorphous", which when gathered together are said to grant any wish.Flip Flappers is an original Magical Girl anime which aired in the fall of 2016. It is produced by Studio 3Hz and directed by Kiyotaka Oshiyama. It is simulcast for international release through Crunchyroll. The anime was also licensed in America by Sentai Filmworks.

Flip Flappers / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: The very first shot in the anime at first looks like a stylised image of an hourglass on a clock... until you remember what else this particular optical illusion can be seen as. When Mimi first appears to Cocona on the boat, her pose and red choker brings to mind the Young or Old Woman optical illusion. Papika has an affinity of biting cables or wires. It may not seem like much until you realise that she may have delivered Cocona when she and Mimi were on the run from Asclepius. In the finale when Mimi is absorbing everything into oblivion, the black hole is situated at her lower body. Adding to that, Cocona and Papika both defeat her by plunging into her. In episode 11, a large and veiny Muscle!Bu-chan gets hotdogged between two, large monsters that look like an even act like large mammaries.

Flip Flappers / int_1869b4b1	comment	Unreliable Narrator: Several things presented throughout the first half of the series as facts are proven false. Papika's age compared to Cocona, Cocona's grandmother, how long Papika has been working for Flip Flap, the nature of the amorphous, what actually happened to Mimi, how long Papika hasn't had a partner, the actual nature of Flip Flap, Ascelpius and Pure Illusion... Invoked in universe in Episode 12. In a cute scene between Mimi and Papikana, the first time we see the scene, Papikana is seated, head in Mimi's lap, listening to Cocona moving. As Mimi says something, it flashes to the present where Mimi hijacks Papika's recall of the event, and Papikana is now sitting very stiffly next to her, and listening dilligently to her tell her that she wishes to isolate Cocona from everyone, with Present!Mimi asking Papika to tell her again what she said, satisfied that whatever she really said, Papika won't admit it.

Flip Flappers / int_40cad744	comment	Flower Motifs: Prevalent throughout the series. Yayaka is often associated with Begonias, particularly Red and Pink ones, which symbolize love and romance. They can also symbolize unrequited or one-sided love, as well as dark and unpleasant thoughts distracting from happiness and joy, reflecting her relationship with Cocona. Mimi on the other hand is associated with White Clovers, which symbolize think of me and revenge for broken promises. Both relevant to her character arc. Her henshin form takes on the motif of the Higanbana, or Red Spider Lily, which symbolizes death. Fitting considering her agenda at that point is to destroy Pure Illusion and the real world and restart it all anew. And of course, the many White Lilies in Episode 5, where Pseudo-Romantic Friendship is most prevalent.

Flip Flappers / int_506143c1	comment	Fisher Kingdom: Pure Illusion seems to be a land of this sort: Whatever goes on in the regular world or whatever is happening physically and emotionally with Cocona is mirrored in the land. For example, when the duo come to Pure Illusion in the first episode, they take note that the land is very snowy, but tastes strangely sweet. Cocona on that episode is distant and cold before she meets Papika, but she's noted to be a very sweet person deep down when one takes a closer look at her, and her initial cold attitude towards Papika is dissolved after Papika goes after her glasses and almost drowns. In addition, wherever the duo slip into Pure Illusion, rather than entering with a distinct purpose, the place where they ended up looks like an remixed version of the area surrounding the entrance point. Episode 1 looks like a snowed over version of Cocona's home town, and Episode 2 has the girls walk around the inside of a giant vacuum cleaner, which they were trying to get into to retrieve Uxekull. It is later reworked by Mimi to be a playground for Cocona, where she will never want or need anything, and will never need to decide anything.

Asclepius's name comes from the Greek god of medicine, fitting given the medical/scientific nature of his research into Mimi and her powers. The organization's headquarters also prominently features a pillar (where their captured amorphous is stored) that resembles a Rod of Asclepius or the Caduceus. Elpis means "Hope" in Greek, the last thing remaining inside Pandora's Box after it had been opened. Sure enough, the climax has Salt entering Pure Illusion via Asclepius's "Elpis" machine to try and stop Mimi from destroying the world Almost all the Asclepius children have number names — Yayaka is "88", Toto is "1010".

Her home life has been fabricated from the beginning, and her grandmother probably never existed. The previews for Episode 6 looked set to provide a glimpse into Cocona's childhood, since it depicted her as a little girl and the woman she was with looked like a younger version of her grandmother. The fact that Papika was there only seemed to signal her going into Cocona's memories. However, it was actually Iroha's childhood we were looking into, with Cocona and Papika acting as her proxies. A minor one in Episode 6, Cocona goes to the art room to give cookies she and Papika made. Onscreen, the viewer sees two plates of cookies : One perfectly made and the other one very poorly made. The viewer may instantly assume the bad ones were made by Papika until Cocona tells Iro the poor cookies were made by Cocona herself. In Episode 11, it seems like Mimi is about to give Ascelpius everything they want. They get everything they deserve and she takes them out with little effort. Near the end of the series, it looks like Papika may be gone forever while Cocona is back to living her life in the real world. Try as she might, she is unable to re-enter Pure Illusion as Sayuri, Yayaka and Hidaka all lament its loss. As it turns out, Cocona is actually stuck in Pure Illusion and Papika ended up breaking her out in a sequence mirroring their encounter in Episode 1

Only to turn out even her home life was a lie as her grandmother tries to capture her, only for Mimi to intervene, because Cocona is Mimi's daughter. Episode 11.

An amusing example in Episode 10 has Salt stating that since "next time" is indefinite concept, "previews of next time" do not exist. Sure enough, the actual PV was released a day late.

Flip Flappers / int_9985ca9c	comment	Quest for a Wish: The amorphous pieces, when gathered together, can grant any one wish of a person. Yayaka's organization wants to use it for "world conquest" whereas Flip Flap wants to "liberate" Pure Illusion. Exactly what these schemes might mean in practice is pretty vague. Both are half-lying. The amorphous is the fragmented power of Mimi, Cocona's mother, and an Old Shame of Dr. Salt. Ascelpius meanwhile want to control Mimi due to her ability to manipulate Pure Illusion even in the real world.

Flip Flappers / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: In Episode 6, you can tell that the girls entered Iroha's Pure Illusion due to the way the landscape's structured â€“ it uses bright, contrasting colors, and almost looks like oil paint, which Iroha's works are usually painted with. There is a brief moment in the opening where Cocona is sitting in a chair in a pool of water but her reflection is that of a girl with longer hair. It's not until Episode 10 where we learn that the girl is Mimi, and to further establish the connection between the two, the same reflection shot is used. The reason why Cocona keeps having dreams of a near-identical girl is because the core fragment of the amorphous is within Cocona, which allows Mimi to reconstitute herself and take over Cocona's body and mind in the 10th episode. Episode 2 has a brief scene where Yayaka grabs onto Cocona's elbow in the nurse's office while Episode 3 has Grandma holding onto Cocona's elbow, foreshadowing their roles as Asclepius moles as they were checking the tracking device implanted on her elbow from the stinger to Episode 1. In Episode 5, Papika is seen reading a book with a golden scarab on the front cover. This foreshadows her having underwent a rebirth some time ago in Pure Illusion to the audience as golden scarabs are a symbol of rebirth in Jungian psycology. Episode 13's fakeout probably won't surprise you if you noticed that the news channel is called LIE News.

It also has a couple to Mad Max: Fury Road with the punk bikers with pale skins and the minions fixed upon poles while they're riding. In addition, Episode 3 also contains a reference to Sukeban Deka with Cocona's Iron Mask breaking in half. Episode 2 places Papika and Cocona in a closet Thomasson, with Papika holding Cocona's hand to keep her calm. This mimics the childen's book Oshire no Bouken, a story about two children who start an adventure in their closet. The girls transform and fight in the style of Pretty Cure heroines. To drive the point home, they even called themselves "Pure Blade" and "Pure Barrier" (though the collector's book included in the Blu-ray limited edition explains that the girls' transformations actually have no names, and calling out "Pure Blade" and "Pure Barrier" was a one-time expression of enthusiasm caused by eating the Peppy Potato). Episode 5 recreates the hallway scene from The Shining, and the episode as a whole references Pseudo-Romantic Friendship shows like Maria Watches Over Us. When Buu-chan gets his powerup in Episode 12, his eye changes to an anchor icon. The satellite that helps set it off also looks like a tin can. Sayuri's room has posters of Mad Max, Sailor Rune, Dune, and School Deka, Alluding to her connection with the Pure Illusion in Episode 3.

Flip Flappers / int_dbde0b49	type	Transformation Trinket
Flip Flappers / int_dbde0b49	comment	Transformation Trinket: Papika and Cocona spent the majority of episode 4 finding these for their "Flip Flapping". Papika chooses an accessory like more modern magical girls go for (a bracelet), while Cocona is left with a stick to wave around like she's saying an incantation. Averted since they seem to not need them one bit, and it's just window dressing for the actual process.

Flip Flappers / int_dcb9c541	type	Ship Tease
Flip Flappers / int_dcb9c541	comment	Ship Tease: Starts off as mostly one-sided, but Papika seems to really like Cocona. In the relationship chart, she says "I love, love, love her!" about Cocona, and even during the very first episode she gets very close and personal with her, even when she hadn't known her for very long. Later episodes seem to indicate that Cocona reciprocates those feelings, but she isn't sure herself. By the end of the series, It's outright confirmed she's fallen in love with Papika too.

Flip Flappers / int_df18bfaf	comment	Short Range Guy, Long Range Guy: Papika and Cocona fight like this in Pure Illusion once they have a better handle on their powers. Strangely enough, energetic Papika is the long range fighter, using a gun and having to aim, but thoughtful Cocona is the short range fighter, using blades and melee tactics. Both do know how to fight at close quarters, though.

Flip Flappers / int_e34400ab	comment	Ambiguously Gay: As the episodes go by, it becomes clear that Cocona is probably not straight. Whether she has a single target sexual fixation on Papika, is bisexual, or is outright lesbian is unclear. The "ambiguous" part is dropped near the end of the series when Cocona reciprocates Papika's feelings for her.

Flip Flappers / int_e5406b1b	comment	Beat: In Episode 5, upon first encountering the "Greeters", Papika and Cocona just stand there for a moment before screaming and suffering from Color Failure. Later that episode, while flying up the clock tower, Papika, carrying Cocona, has ran out of upward momentum, she then has the bright idea to fling Cocona...downwards. The scene pauses for a while as Cocona lets out an "Eh?". Turns out Papika has a bubble placed underneath Cocona to act as a trampoline for her.

Flip Flappers / int_e60bda	comment	The Klan: Most members of Asclepius's organization wear robes like this, but this is more likely just a case of Unfortunate Character Design since the organization has no other apparent similarities with the trope (the organization is scientific despite its cult-like trappings, demonstrates a considerable level of competency and methodicalness, and its ultimate goal is to make the world a utopia for everyone, rather than for just one race, ethnicity, or nation, although the way they want to achieve that goal is decidedly sinister).

Flip Flappers / int_e61d9a3c	comment	Clothing Damage: Not all, but a good deal of attacks in the show seem to do more damage to the clothes than the wearer. Surprisingly not played for as much Fanservice as it could be. Cocona's uniform takes a hit or two in the mission to retrieve Uexkull, but does not become massively revealing. Similarly, the most significant casualties of Papika's fight with Cocona were her cloak and shoulder pad, the latter of which was simply dented. Put to good use when Papika headbutts the mask/helmet Cocona is wearing, smashing it and freeing her.
