Flip Flappers

Have you ever run out of words to describe something unusual and symbolic? I am in this predicament while watching the anime we will review. We have encountered numerous personalities during our lives. Despite their age, some are childlike and carefree, while others are mature and spiritual. If we had taken the time to analyze each one, we would have realized that each individual represents something symbolic if we dug deep enough. This narrative may address numerous internal or external issues that we may overlook but are really important.

"Furippu Furappzu" (Furippu Furappazu) is an original anime television series produced by Studio 3Hz, directed by Kiyotaka Oshiyama, written by Yuniko Ayana, with concept art by Tanu, character designs by Takashi Kojima, and music composed by To-Mas. Producers were Hiroshi Kawamura, Takema Okamura, Yukihiro Ito, Masako Yoshikawa, and Fuminori Yama.

It was initially announced on March 25, 2016, at the AnimeJapan convention and broadcast between October and December 2016 on AT-X, Tokyo MX, BS Fuji, Sun, and other networks, including Sotsu, Lantis, GAGA, Happinet Pictures, Hakuhodo DY Music & Pictures, Medicos Entertainment, Infinite, and RAY. The series was licensed by Madman Entertainment (Australia), Sentai Filmworks (North America), and MVM Films (United Kingdom). It consists of 13 24-minute episodes, is categorized under Adventure, Comedy, and Sci-Fi, and it was rated PG-13 - Teens 13 and up.

The series is a science fiction adventure narrative about two heroines, Papika and Cocona. Cocona appears to be a regular middle school girl who lives with her grandma. As she considers her future job, she meets Papika, an exuberant and quirky girl who quickly takes an interest in Cocona. She draws her into the Flip Flap organization without hesitation. Thus, the duo work for the Flip Flap organization, which sends them to uncover "amorphous" parts within the realm of Pure Illusion that is supposed to be capable of granting wishes.

These components may be found in many locations within Pure Illusion, which is why they appear in such a wide range of situations in almost every episode. During their adventures, they realize that Flip Flap is not the only group hunting for amorphous bits, as they encounter a second gang that appears to want them for their own evil purposes. As a result, there is a lot of combat between the two sides throughout the anime as they strive to outdo one another for every fragment.

Papika has salmon-colored hair and royal blue eyes. She is dressed in her school uniform, a white and blue sailor shirt with a red ribbon. She is a high-energy, exuberant person with a zest for adventure. She is fearless, flying around on her hoverboard and leaping into danger without consideration. She also insists on traveling to Pure Illusion with Cocona, where she has a lot of fun looking for amorphous shards, all while carrying her tendency to be careless.

Cocona is a pretty young lady with a blue bob and fringe. She acquires a new transformation form after leaving her past behind and admitting her genuine affection to Papika. Cocona is a shy, apprehensive young girl who has no hobbies and merely follows what she is told; she couldn't even select a high school on her own.

Besides her "grandmother" and Yayaka, a childhood friend of Cocona's who works for the opposing group Asclepius alongside Toto and Yuyu, she hardly ever communicates with anyone. Despite her secluded appearance, Cocona has proved to be genuinely compassionate. This is shown in how she was deeply affected by the idea of Papika’s death, even when she had just met her. She also has a great attachment to Yayaka, frequently seeking her advice at school and believing in their friendship despite their adversarial relationship.

Cocona initially intrigued her, but she ultimately grew closer and affectionate. As the plot progresses, Papika becomes more trustworthy and better understands Cocona. She becomes less pushy yet is still determined to complete tasks. She also works on her teamwork skills with Cocona and Yayaka.

Flip Flappers takes place in a relatively futuristic atmosphere that contains not just hoverboards and sophisticated robots but also many less explicable goods. Pure Illusion is claimed to be a second, overlapping dimension that Papika and Cocona discover by literally falling through a hole into it. Because anything is feasible in Pure Illusion, this other reality is essentially accountable for what separates Flip Flappers. It reminds me of Fantasia, with its striking, colorful landscapes, legendary monsters and other weird creatures, gateways that function as teleports, and simply a ton of magic. However, with digital Tron-like digital realms, mechas, and other features, it may occasionally be sci-fi-esque rather than fantasy-esque.

This initiative is more significant in practically every way. Flip Flappers uses the unusual world of Pure Illusion to tell exciting stories in episodic rather than sequential order, and it has a variety of metaphors beneath the surface in addition to providing enjoyable experiences.

In contrast, the anime is not totally episodic. Toward the conclusion, everything begins to fall into place, and an overarching plot develops that you may not have recognized as always present. Finally, everything comes to a beautiful and satisfying conclusion.

But, in my opinion, what actually makes Flip Flappers a success is that it manages to communicate deeper truths while keeping the anime's playful appeal. The characters are generally likable, but they are also highly symbolic. Papika's joyful personality appears to embody young innocence, while another girl named Yayaka appears to represent adulthood, leaving Cocona caught somewhere in the middle, unsure of what she actually desires. It's a great way to balance character variation with opposing deeper notions.

The production quality is likewise outstanding. The graphic design looks incredibly hand-drawn, akin to a Studio Ghibli film. The anime soundtracks include not just one of the season's best opening themes but also one of the best ending themes I've ever heard in anime. The opening theme is "Serendipity" by ZAQ, while the ending theme is "Flip Flap Flip Flap" by To-Mas and Chima. Overall, this is an excellent anime to add to your viewing collection. It is highly recommended!
