Yoru no Kurage wa Oyogenai airs next week (4/6). Synopsis:The young artist Yoru Kurage has been on hiatus ever since a certain incident. In reality, her name is Mahiru Kōzuki. She became traumatized by the pressure of being "special" and instead decided to live a normal, standard high school life. However, things change when she meets former idol Kano Yamanōchi. The strong-minded Kano "graduated" from center position in the Sunflower Dolls idol group, where she was known as Nonoka Tachibana. Along with VTuber Kiwi Watase, and talented musician Mei Kim Anouk Takanashi, the girls come together.https://youtu.be/aqxpcoUTyEQ?si=RoOnW5ny66LRecUF https://youtu.be/1sY76sX_kZQ?si=CAQjnYefWe97cDZB Cast:Miku Itō as Mahiru Kōzuki (artist pen name: Yoru Mitsuki)https://youtu.be/RuGMDsERtCg?si=3DCR4tVisU4VPburRie Takahashi as Kano Yamanouchi (former idol's stage name: Nonoka Tachibana)https://youtu.be/e-wU_A_bL50?si=lhHZm-31KQ--nMF1Miyu Tomita as Kiui Watase (Vtuber name: Nox Ryuugasaki), she's also Mahiru's childhood friendhttps://youtu.be/E06ug7TKlLk?si=_Ruh49SLVxG-yenbMiyuri Shimabukuro as Mei "Kim Anouk" Takanashi (stage name: Kimura), a fan of Nonoka (Kano's previous idol stage name)https://youtu.be/n9nIr-TBFLA?si=x1oYi2Toyg4XhhHjStaff: Director: Ryohei Takeshita (Eromanga Sensei)Series Composition: Yuki Yaku (Tomozaki-kun author)Character design: popman3580Animation Director: Junichiro Taniguchi (Madoka, Sing Yesterday For Me)Music: Masaru Yokoyama Art Director: Yuji KanekoStudio: Dogakobo
Also as you might've noticed, fhe title has a layered meaning. Yoru no Kurage can mean "Jellyfish in the Night", but Yoru is also the alias Mahiru used when she draws that Jellyfish arts. As you might've noticed Mahiru/Yoru has low self esteem and for some reason she stopped drawing until she met Kano. In the PV she also says jellyfish can't shine on their own, and she asks Kano "Can I also shine if I'm by your side?". If Kano is the sun, then Mahiru/Yoru is the moon.Since this is original anime we don't know yet where the story is going but I guess this is a promising start?
The author has teased that this will have some subtext, and some of the PVs also had similar hints. We'll see how it turns out, but this is the original I'm most looking forward to this season.
While the official twitter is posting 応援イラスト from various illustrators for the rest of the week, I've only found a couple good fanart. Hopefully that'll increase once the anime starts.
>>4179541Mei is gay
>>4182475I hope she actually hits on Kano at some point instead of contenting herself with shipping Kano with the MC. The artwork of Mei gushing over Mahiru and notRika hugging has me worried.
https://twitter.com/SugoiBingus/status/1775932736274071842All episodes have completed production.
>>4182738Thats kind of unusual for a show to have everything in the can before episode one even broadcasts. Normally they have only 3-4 episodes done by the start of the season. Why we so often have recap episodes or skipped weeks in the middle of the season.
>>4182745I heard it was supposed to air in 2023, possibly fall because it's exactly the timeline in the anime (I think jelee is supposed to do live performance on halloween at Shibuya). But for whatever reason they pushed it back which thankfully worked best for both fans ans the animation team.
>>4179549I think this got a pre-airing of 1 or 2 episodes in the States already at some conventions. I saw some people already talking about how the subtext was really strong in the beginning, which is a good sign.
Looks like we're going to have guest art endcards. Here's one from nezukonezu:https://twitter.com/nezukonezu32/status/1776648436366168275
Manga version of ep1 is out as wellhttps://pocket.shonenmagazine.com/episode/2550689798333590356
That was really fucking good, lots of yuri potential.
I was apprehensive, but I'll allow myself to get excited for this show. I really hope it doesn't disappoint.
First episode was downright homoerotic.
>>4183833This is the next evolution or side-grade from aquariums, huh.
great start, i have pretty high hopes for it now even it doesn't get more /u/ than this
>>4183845The writer said that it's very yuri-esque, although he struggled to call it explicitly yuri.
>>4183833What did she mean by this?
Homoerotic show...
>>4183871What place do women have that is soft like jelly and smells like fish?
>>4183833
>>4183886>What place do women have that is soft like jelly and smells like fish?Does it sting? Because jellyfish stings.
Ok, this was probably one of the best first episodes of a show that I've seen in a long time.Really looking forward to the rest of it.What a gem.
>>4183887next episode eh, according to that artists' pre-screening impressionshttps://twitter.com/2015chaosgroup/status/1764265087836229823
One PV had "Mahiru - Kanon" under the (love?) umbrella. Yuri vibe is strong from the starthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLJFJ0n2LAc
>>4183833this was indescribably gay >>4183915vagina dentata
Man the animation for this is absolutely stunningAnd is also violently gay, looking forward to the rest
Vignette for the first episode by the anime staff, Kano teaches Mahiru to play guitar.https://twitter.com/yorukura_anime/status/1776807115165995043
>>4184132"She's so skilled with her fingers..."
Is this an original?
>>4184491Yes
I have had to stop twice from second hand embarrassment...
>>4184580Heh, you're not alone in that.Same thing happened when I was watching Girls Band Cry
>>4184580I dont know if I fully liked it or not. Some of the messages are a bit too overused, even if they are relatable.But damn does this show look good. I hope this wasnt their entire budget.,
>>4184132Vigne from Gabriel Dropout is in this anime??!!
>>4184784Gabriel is too
>>4184632Production is already complete.
https://yorukura-anime.com/special/dahoo/
>>4184632It does seem a bit of an "all style, no substance" kind of deal. Feels like they had a checklist of cliched moments to get through in the first episode, hopefully the next episodes develop in a more natural way.
>even less subtext than k-onNo reason to watch this for /u/ unless you're really desperate.
>I want to sing in front of your turtle, Azunyan
>>4184920It doesn't need subtext if it has text.
According to Wiki, there was a manga version released yesterday, the 7th. Anyone find it? Is it better or worse than the anime?There is a LN version releasing on the 20th of May. As a LN there is potential for less censorship and more overt yuri, but no guarantee that the writer will avail themselves of the opportunity.
>>4185096Found it. Chapter 1 is free right now.https://pocket.shonenmagazine.com/episode/2550689798333590356
This feelt a lot like Sora Yori Mo Tooi Basho, but where the girls are artists instead of explorers. If the show manages to be half as effective emotionally as YoriMoi was, I'm here to stay. And if it delivers on yuri it may unironically become my AOTY
>>4185182>feelt a lot like Sora Yori Mo Tooi BashoI think the train show feels more like that, this is closer to your typical SoL about some club activity or idols, except in this case it's about performing arts.
>>4185182>Sora Yori Mo Tooi BashoI thought that was a very sad series with no real yuri
>the train showWhich train show?>>4185193I mean YoriMoi is about as Yuri as K-On, you can deffinitely goggle it out. The real appeal of it is the unbelievably powerful writing.
>>4185195>>4185190 first comment meant to reply to that
>>4185193The only thing I will never forget is how they find this laptop in freezing temps at the end, and boot it...Never do that. Ever.
>>4185195>Which train showI don't know anon, there's a grand total of 6-7 possibly yuri-friendly shows airing this season, take a wild guess.
>>4185198What happens if you do? Immediate CPU death because it goes from zero (or below) Cº to 50 or so in the blink of an eye?
>>4185198I thought they took it back to the shelter and plugged it in first. I remember that the password was Antarctica-chan's birthday.
Is it normal for teenagers to be out and about in Japan from 10-midnight? What happened to their parents? Here you'd get kidnapped/raped/mugged or killed if you keep doing that shit.
>>4185228Must be nice to live in a civilized country
>>4185241Series killing if true.
Looks like the crossboarder trolls decide to pick this series to obsess over this season.
>>4185241You can take your shitposting back to /a/. The producer is female by the way, second from the right.
>>4185228Yes, actually. Japan is one of the safest places in the world-
>>4185248Okay why would she punch another girl?
>>4185353Knock some taste into her, hopefully.
>>4185353probably bullying, it's pretty clear she doesn't take shit and I bet that bitch had it coming.
>>4185397The scene seems to imply that the other girl was talking shit about the producer.
>>41853531. Why wouldn't she punch another girl?2. If you were smart, you'd do the same thing.
>>4185403The other girl would never talk shit about the producer, Mero is the girl that got punched and her profile says she trusts Producer Yukine more than anyone else and would do anything for her.
>>4185534I think she’s still the producer for them, the producer must have been the one who talked shit. Kano also have a yandere stalker that dresses like her.
https://twitter.com/Yaku_yuki/status/1777658590767030544?t=_IwrgZFMxKjO1abWxMl5nQ&s=19Multiple PoV confirmed in the LN
>>4185799So each girl in the main pair has their own Yaya?
>>4185802That depends on the relative timeframes of the affections.
>>4185799One has a Yaya and one has a Kiwi, I’ll let you figure out which one is which.
>>4186064>looking at viewer
>>4186102It's never going to go beyond subtext anyway, they want waifufags to buy it as well.
>>4186102It's common courtesy to look at the camera while taking a picture.
>>4185688That’s a pretty good way to sell the series to be honest if I can read jap I would buy it, I love knowing about multiple insights on the same plot.
What is so important about a tiny nose?
Didn't Cleopatra have a big, hooked nose? I think the coins that were issued during her reign showed her with a prominent honker.
>共犯者Yuri confirmed.
>>4187258>eight LN volumes until they fuck
>>4187258>>418727298"!"“--What will you do, Yoru?”“Mahiru!!”“Ah! Where was Mahiru going――――”At the same time, I heard the voice of Emi, who had found me in the middle of a noticeable commotion. I almost came to my senses, but no.I'm sure the answer was already decided when I took down that poster.I shook off the everyday voices and ran.Kanon smiled and took the hand held out to her.I saw it. As the two of us run through the tunnels of Miyashita Park, we feel like accomplices.“Hey, it was difficult to print a large poster!”I ignored Miko-san's voice from behind and moved forward.``--I'm just floating along, washed away by the water, without any will of my own.''- Jellyfish cannot swim by themselves.
>>4187361It’s not very nice for Yoru to ditch her friends and run off with a complete stranger. Makes her kinda a shitty friend to be honest.
https://twitter.com/Yaku_yuki/status/1779063563824582850
>>4187605Has anyone ever given a straight answer to whether their original anime is yuri or not?
>>4187607I don't want a straight answer, I want a gay answer.
>>4187578It wasn't very nice of them to make fun of her art either.
>this is subtext and will stay subtext
One day those feelings will be real, mutual, and reciprocated.
But not for you, you're destined to be a loser.

Who gave doga koba money? Is this the true reason why Ohtani's translator stole all that money, to fund the yuri AOTS?
Is EP2 better
>>4187944>expected a fangirl>got a fangirlNothing really remarkable about it, though according to the author this was the yuri part.
>>4187952>according to the author this was the yuri partScratch that, I royally misunderstood.
G-guys this time I want the Yaya to win, she deserves to win…
>>4188022Everything's gonna be fine. Trust the plan.
>>4188026I don’t want OT3 either.
>>4187809>One of the girls has already, unambiguously, admitted they like another girlAlready gayer than K-on
>>4187856Why do we need to pit two bad bitches against each other?Enjoy both shows.
After last week's good first episode, ep2 cements this as my number one this season. Good op and ed songs, high quality animation everywhere, the cast is high energy and super gay and the little sister as running gag at the start of each ep. Cannot wait for next ep. Between this and whisper me a love song, we are truly eating good.
>>4188194Is both show subtext?
>>4188196Sasakoi is a romance anime
>>4187856I prefer Girls Band Cry, writing feels more genuine.This show is eyecandy of the highest order tho
>>4188486So far it's been a 1-1 situation each week for me.First episode of Jellyfish hit me a lot more than the first episode of GBC, but this week GBC was stronger.
I keep thinking Yoru is voiced by Anzai Chika. I have Chisato brainrot I guess. Was this a reference to how Taki "learned" composing in MyGo?

my GOD was that episode hard to watch.In the good sense, mind you. Still. Damn.
>>4192519Why does the show do this only to have the childhood friend and the psycho stalker get NTR’d.
>>4192647Do her parents not feel any shame letting that happen to her?

Ep 4 PV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXFbYuiLxeM
So I'm not trying to start anything but is this series actually yuri? I've seen some people say it's not and I was wondering
>>4196460At the moment, I'd say not. The first episode had some promising moments, but afterwards it has been the usual cgdct hijinks. I guess now that the main characters have been introduced, we shall see where the story goes.
>>4196460Honestly there’s a stalker weirdo that sniffs one of the MC’s shirts. But we don’t know if she just admired her or is gay.
>>4196636>>4196639I see I see! Okay thank you anons!!!
>>4196639Wait did she intentionally switched their bags? Or was it an accident? What’s the chances of them having that weird as fuck bag?
>>4196671>What’s the chances of them having that weird as fuck bag?There's a whole minute long section during the episode that explains this.>Wait did she intentionally switched their bags?No. She got surprised about it as well.
>>4196692Okay I guess she's not a lesbian than.

>Mahiru gives Kano her jellyfish
>>4197754>She wants me to touch her jellyfish?!
>mion wants to fuck kiui>mahiru being kano's tradwifeGood episode.
>>4197856And Mei gets....Kano's trash?
What does this mean?!
>>4197893There’s a guy she likes? I don’t know…
>>4197893So that's why the Director didn't just confirmed it was Yuri.
>>4197893>>4197918>>4197987There is zero positive male presence in the show so far. We have never seen her interact with any male potential love interest. She acts like Kano's wife allready. They both blush when their eyes meet. Yes she must be straight, yuri is ruined abandon ship never gonna make it panic sell sneed pink wojacks total het domination into the trash it goes omg worst show ever.Or fix your goggles.
>>4198035Don't respond. Just report and ignore.
>>4197918Are girls not people?
>>4198035I opened the thread to ask the same thing, in a non-troll way, because that scene was so weird.Despite everyone reacted and was interested to know more about it, there is no follow up, they haven't even be interrupted but it changed scene completely, very bad writing.>We have never seen her interact with any male potential love interestThat goes without saying, but we haven't seen her interact with any other girl outside the four main characters either, except her mob classmates, so who is she referring to and why wasn't it elaborated? If she means Kano would she say it in front of her, potentially making her (and the viewers) think she is interested in someone else? And that doesn't explain why that scene was cut like that.Meanwhile this episode:>added a hetslut character>confirmed producer is het too>the producer being het also kills any possible development with the idol who worships herDefinitely the worst episode so far. The first one was perfect with the two leads bonding, the second one was ok with the gay fan even if it sidelined the relationship between the two leads, but the last two ones didn't add much for us. Let's hope it will be back on track with the next ones and it will anser who Mahiru is interested in in a positive way for us.
>>4198090>>confirmed producer is het tooI can't believe Kano's mom was confirmed straight.
>>4198090How you were able to endure yesterday's episode of SasaKoi and not throw an epileptic fit here I just can't imagine.
The lead-up to that line was Kiui and Mei telling Kano about their past failures in order to bond/commiserate with her. I think the joke is that Mahiru was trying to coyly compliment Kano by saying she's into her as a musician, while everyone else took it as her talking about an unknown person she romantically interested in. Hence her confused "huh?" when the group reacts by asking what kind of person she's talking about. Hopefully there's further layers to this scene since Kano probably actually WILL end up being Mahiru's love interest, even if she's not there yet.
>>4198175I'm gonna keep rooting for the fangirl.
>>4198090WHATTHE MOM OF A CHARACTER HAD A RELATIONSHIP WITH A MAN???IMPOSSIBLE!!!
>>4197893I think it's relevant she said "person" and not "boy". You don't do that if you're het.
>>4198276Or she just didn't mean a romantic interest
>>4198175>Mahiru was trying to coyly compliment Kano by saying she's into her as a musicianBut they were revealing secrets, she's already said she likes her music before.
>>4197893It's about the mom, couldn't have been more obvious.
>>4197918What next? You're gonna post your flag with a /pol/ post and claim hito means guy?
>>4198385That's the /a/schizo, just don't reply.Not sure how that post is still up to be completely honest.
>>4198407Just like Gunda.....wait.

>>4199605
>>4199594What discord?
>if the yuri is bait...then they're doing a pretty good job of it
>>4199619I've seen this. It looks like Kano is resting her chin on Mahiru's shoulder. It's cute but it's also a still pic taken out of context so again, cautious until the episode itself.

Who the fuck translates "Shuujinko" into "Main Event"??Does the word "Main Character" trigger them or something??
>>4200205It's similair to japaense saying "sound" and sub goes with "audio" instead for some reason.
>>4200206Those are at least still synonyms that refer to something similar, but this is another thing entirely. "Event" != "Character"

I'm yuri confused.
>>4201592Watch the episode, the subs are out.
>>4201590Turns out those tweets from the writer was just some brilliant subtext bait
yea her lucklet pull makes sense now
>>4201627>blatant love confessionKano-chan is so bold with her lyrics.
Congrats, Mahiru
I love this moment of awkwardness right after the kiss. You can tell it was complete impulse, Kano unable to suppress the emotions she didn't realize she has, no thought whatsoever over what the other girl might think of it.
>>4201644>replied 'tadaima' to Yoru's 'okaeri' in the previous episode's song lyrics>replied to Yoru's confession (or maybe the opposite since the MV was uploaded before the last scene) in this episode's song lyricsI love it.
I'm at work, was there an actual kiss?
>>4201659On the cheek, yes. Important part is the extremely gay reaction to it.
>>4201659Yes, a kiss on the cheek, but the context before and the reaction afterwards is what makes it so gay. Kano was staring at Mahiru pouring her heart out to her and impulsively kissed her cheek. Mahiru jumps up surprised trying to diffuse the situation, but Kano just stays frozen, as if completely unaware of what she just did. They stare at each other awkwardly before Kano makes a excuse to run away tripping over her words while Mahiru stays on the snow confused and caresses the cheek Kano kissed.
>>4201681It was the context of the whole episode, really. It all built up to that moment, both in the physicality and the emotions.
i'm so happyi thought this would be episode 9-10 material
>The director retweeted thishttps://twitter.com/cratrmrn/status/1786821648689361190Poor Mei Kim Anouk.

I can't get fan-art to appear on my twitter feed and that makes me angry... but still, I really liked this episode! I didn't expect the subtext to become... text!
we have ascended from mere aquarium dates
>>4201773Read this.>>4201681>>4201687We are just five episodes in, anything could happen honestly.
>>4201773>aka subtext aka yuribait aka girlship
>>4201773Stop being so overdramatic anon, most of the time it's plain obvious when a story is going to deliver or not, and jellyfish has been very promising from the startJust don't set your expectations sky-high-they'll-get-married-by-the-end and enjoy it
>>4201784Can I at least expect a tasteful and cathartic sex-scene, YagaKimi style?
>>4201773>Platonic Cheek KissI don't think anyone Platonically kisses someone's cheek like THAT.
>>4201624Even the BD store bonuses are merciless.
I was watching it and thinking "wow this is feeling really really gay" and then BAM!AOTS right here. The director is a lovely troll. My guess for the future is that there'll be a love triangle or love square drama. Besides Mei liking Kano, I think Kiui likes Mahiru.

>>4198090Well anon?
>>4201977very good friends
>>4201978Same. I forced myself to start catching up on Jellyfish because of this week's episode, but I really don't like it so far.
>>4202008I don't know what are you trying to imply. This week's episode being gold doesn't change the fact that that scene is weird because it's not clear who she's referring to and why it was cut like that. Hopefully the next ep will go back to elaborate on that, there is no way they won't be conscious of each other after the kiss was portrayed in that way >>4201681
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-poxbev-So&t=253sMeisis... they're mocking us
>>4187809i am now revisiting this post happy to say it was very wrong
The marriage proposal
>>4202047You're wrong because you said "het producer" despite then explicitly saying they're a SHE and Kano's MOM.
>>4202164Learn english, you don't understand what you're reading and nobody understands what you're writing.The producer was revelead to be Kano's mom, meaning she's married to a man, hence not a lesbian, killing any possible idol/producer yuri development.But you probably won't understand this explanation for dummies either.
>全巻購入特典:「全巻収納BOX」引換シリアルコード付きHow does this thing work again?You have to buy all the single volumes, put the serial codes somewhere and the box will be shipped separately?And they don't accept oversea's addresses I guess. And fuck you if even only one of the single volumes goes out of stock.Why can't they just put the box together with the last volume or something?
>>4202170>meaning she's marriedNo, not necessarily, and there’s a decent chance Kano’s beef with Melo was about her crush on/relationship with her mom either way.(Inb4 Melo was the reason for the divorce)
>>4202083Painful. But honestly these two are way too in love for poor Mei to have a chance.
>>4202189I've gotten a similar premium box with the last volume a few times, but I'm not sure if it applies to every online shop/anime, and maybe it was a last volume thing instead of a bonus
>>4201681While Kano being completely unaware of what she did would be so romantic, I don't think that's what happened at all, she heard Yoru's words and thought she was confessing to her romantically so she went and kissed her, but then Yoru's reaction wasn't romantic at all, so she panicked and ran away. And Yoru clearly isn't confused either, the reason she caressed her cheek it's because she realized Kano meant it romantically after she ran away.The ball is on Yoru's court now, she has to figure out if what she feels it's actually romantic or not.That's pretty interesting for an original anime, there is no source material to guarantee if they'll get together or not.Plus Mei being cucked is funny, but the fact Yoru hasn't figured out what her own feelings are, means she'll try to fight still.
>>4202242>it's because she realized Kano meant it romantically after she ran away.I think her reaction would be different if she actually realized what Kano was feeling. Her expression fits exactly for someone who's still confused at all the impulsive things Kano does.
>>4202249But what if it's a Shimamura "hm" reaction
>>4202189It works basically like you guessed there. They send you some codes and you need to put them in a separate form to get the extra. Unless something has changed, they only accept Japanese addresses, so you will need a forwarder if you want to get it overseas.As to why it works that way, it's probably for the same reason amazon thinks it's a good idea to ship merch overseas in a paper bag.
>>4202271Other than the very annoying thing of having to use a forwarder, it's the multiple codes thing that kills it. Like I said, what if I buy some of them and then I miss the last one because it went out of stock before I could buy it? I paid more for the limited edition of the first volumes to get the box but in the end I couldn't get it because I missed the last one, wasting money. I'm not gambling, you give me the box I'm going to pay whatever you want, but I'm not playing with luck. It sucks because the amazon's box is nice while the cover of the first volume is a solo image, and the next ones will probably be solo images of the other girls too.

>>4202307Are we ever going to find out who this person Mahiru is interested in is going to be?
>>4202310They were talking about their dark past and similar experiences, if anything Mahiru probably fell in love with a character that inspired her to draw or something similar. She already told them her past/story so she had to pull something new and embarrassing.
>>4202310
>>4202313I think she's a friend of Kano, in the OP you can see Kano riding her bike.
Is Kim Anouk korean for Yaya?
Aquariums have to be on purpose by this point right
>>4202435We're at the point where series lampshade how cliché it is (both pic related and Sasakoi recently), so yeah.
>>4202435I genuinely want to know if they show up in other non-yuri animes. Is it just that I don't really watch/read much outside of yuri or is this one ours?
>>4202451Aquriunms show up in everything, but yuri is definitely the only thing that exclusively uses them for dates
Is Mahiru the authors self insert?
>>4202339I think the official site says she's half german Anouk is a girl's name with various origins, including French, Hebrew, Dutch, and Swiss. Meaning “favor” and “grace” in its French and Dutch roots, this title takes on the slightly more elaborate meaning of “God has favored me” in Hebrew.
>>4202618Obviously, she could not find happiness in Japan, as the authority of the Hebrew god did not extend there, and the Japanese god did not favor her.
So, is it safe to say the series is officially yuri?
>>4202690Depends on how they spin it from now on, it might still fizzle out into nothing or stay completely one-sided.Hopefully the staff isn't so frivolous.
>>4202283The writer retweeted this.
>>4202742She has Kano's sister at least.
>>4202742She was last seen holding hands in public with the mixed breed.
>>4202742she will fulfill the role a pink haired girl must when in proximity to a yaya
>>4202659There is more to it than that, since Shamiko has been accepted by the Japanese gods even though she clearly has Hebrew roots. Her family had to have done something to make the Japanese gods not favor her.
>>4202845The drama is going to be fun, but it sucks that it feels like this is all this show has. Like if both band shows is still subtext I would only be watching only GBC.
>>4202847>>The drama is going to be fun, but it sucks that it feels like this is all this show has.I know you're just a doomposting troll but in case anyone takes you seriously, it's already obvious the show has more drama in store than this.

>>4202455>Lesbians go on dates to places with tons of fish around themJapan has a weird sense of humor
Glad to see the surge of fan art after this episode. shows need to continue to be rewarded for delivering.

I wish more CGDCT anime had a yuri romance subplot with the main characters like this

>>4203804>CGDCTThis is not a CGDCT anime, sis. This is very specifically a musical anime with an ongoing narrative. Something like Do It Yourself! is a CGDCT anime. Or of course, K-On, if you want to draw connections to something musical.
>>4203804All CGDCT anime are yuri until proven otherwise
>>4203722She's already for Kiui.
>>4204091This

>>4204542Ohoh
>>4204417They ended up having to release this before the show even aired, but if it hadn't got delayed, the kiss would've happened just over a week before Valentine's Day and you can see Kano has a present for Yoru.
>>4204737
>>4204738>lesbian sex with jellyfish socks onMahiru...
If Mahiru had reacted more passively to Kano's advance, Kano would have definitely snuggled with Mahiro in the snow.

https://mangadex.org/title/33af412e-8d17-4ce5-90a5-a0857b8cb0ed/yoru-no-kurage-wa-oyogenaiHow do they compare?
>>4205174Manga goes a little faster and condenses scenes here and there, but the expressions and reactions legit make it look like an overt yuri manga.
This artist labeled this as まひかの.
It's not really the kiss itself that's so surprising, it's the fact Kano sits there frozen afterwards touching her hand to her lips with a dazed "why the fuck did I just do that" look on her face. It'd have been super easy to just have her be an airhead who wanted to cheer Mahiru up and not even notice her being flustered. Yuri fans are still ecstatic, a bunch of weekly kiss art still gets made, no real comittment required, but instead the focus gets put on Kano's emotions and how rattled she looks, not just a shot of cute JKs going kyaa-kyaa together. Heck, Mahiru STARTS trying to play it off like that, but is interrupted by opening her eyes and realizing that Kano has no response or plan and looks even more shocked at what she just did than she was.I still doubt it'll go totally all the way and have them unambiguously start dating or something, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's something like the first season of Chuu2, and the very end is a super-romantic scene with the two of them clearly leaning in for a real kiss, but then it gets interrupted by Mei and Kiui showing up at the last second.or maybe it'll be a total cynical copout and it'll turn out that it's all because Kano's mom used to kiss her on the cheek to cheer her up back when they still got along or something
https://youtu.be/BAmUpo-ELwc?si=jpJ4y3TkHn1lOzzQWhat will they do this week?
It must be hard to work like this.
Gay.
Smugiru.
>>4205711Gee I wonder,
Oneeloli?
Extremely weak follow-up to ep 5 as far as yuri goes.The characters did not act like ep 5 happened.
>The characters did not act like ep 5 happened.>>4205712It's something though
>>4205718Something bad. Yoru's reaction to it is not the reaction of someone who was affected by the kiss, instead it feels like a straight girl's reaction to getting kissed by a possibly gay friend, a simple "what were you thinking lol" and moving on from the topic.
Shit bait.
>>4205720t. literally never flirted or been flirted with in their entire life
>>4205720She's just trying to cheer her up since they were just talking about the heavy matter of Kano's family situation.
>>4205721Call a direct retelling of what happened in the episode as bait if you feel like, it always feel better to feign ignorance and continue with blind hope when things start looking bad.
>>4205720Definitely not a fan of how they brought it up back up in such dumb gag kind of way, but I feel pretty certain the plot's now gonna go into Kano can't write lyrics because of Mahiru and ep5. Like we're really supposed to believe a few days have gone by without neither of them bringing it up until helping out this old idol?I still feel like it will for sure be yuri, but just annoyed with how that was handled. I mean for fuck's sake, Kano's lyrics are such thinly veiled little love letters to Mahiru
>>4205726>Kano's lyrics are such thinly veiled little love letters to MahiruThat was in this episode too by the way.
>>4205726It'll probably be covered in the Novel. The Novel IS covering the stuff they didn't have space for in the show after all.
>>4205730Nee-san, this is the same song from their debut AMV in episode 3
>>4205735I know, and the lyrics were also about how Yoru inspired her.
Oh also, so like Kano's definitely gonna get doxxed right?
>>4205740She and Yoru were also in Miiko's video from Halloween where they straight-up called themselves JELEE and not a cover band, so anyone who saw her at the live could potentially be able to put two and two together and know it's the same person without the Halloween mask on and see other distinctive marks like the two moles on her belly to link her to Nonoka Tachibana. It could happen.
>>4205744
>>4205725C'mon now, is this your first anime? it's pretty common to have a weirdly unrelated episode after a twist/development, it will go back to Kano in the nextI swear some of you should just stop watching shows weekly and wait till they're over
>>4205749It was anything but unrelated, the relationship between Miiko and her daughter made Kano reflect upon her relationship with her own mother and start opening up to Mahiru about it, which will definitely become a large part of the main plot in the second half. She also hasn't got over her writing slump yet.
>>4205727Thank you, anon. I couldn't pause fast enough to see it.My poor baby has no chance to win the Kanobowl if Mahiru is not only causing her writing slumps but even feeling smug and confident enough to poke fun at her like this >>4205712 .At least it looks like she'll have a loli to groom if that's any consolation. I don't like lolis but it looks like she did.
Perfect.
What a pile of shit after the great episode of last week. Not only the focus on a full hetslut character, but no direct follow up to the kiss, the awkward state they were at the end of the previous episode just disappeared and they were back to how they were before of the kiss and when it finally was brought up it was treated like it wasn't anything important. I will be very mad if with this the kiss will be forgotten like it never happened. I hope they will back to it and soon because the manga and the novel are about to be released and I need to know if it's ok to buy them.>>4205013>there are many contents that had to be cut from the animeI'm looking forward to that hoping that content is yuri, but somehow that would make me mad too because it would mean they decided to cut yuri from the anime and then wasted a full episode on some hetslut.
>>4205751I wonder who will she ask for help with her writing block, I mean, the most obvious choice should be Mahiru but that'll probably turn awkward if it was just those two.
>>4205760It might be the chance to introduce that woman with the bike from the OP. I assume Kano already knows her since it looks like she borrows her bike to go on a ride with Mahiru later.

>The kiss didn't end up like it never happened
>>4205807This kills the anti-yuri schizo.
>>4205808>writer says one thing>episode literally portrays the kiss as unimportant jokeYeah sure sis
>>4205810Yeah. It was a joke and they'll all end up with men. It's ultra bait. You can stop watching now
>>4205810I feel so much for writers who have to work in the modern social media era and have to deal with all the people who invert everything you write and then try to argue about it, even with the person who created it...
>>4205816>they'll all end up with men. Now you're being dumb >It's ultra baitProbably. Let's see if they ever talk about the kiss in the next epis-, oh wait not really, we just got more hetmom idol out of nowhere>>4205825This is why writers or mangakas shouldn't even write anything in their dumb social accounts. People will always call bullshit when he/she does not deliver
>>4205849I'm sorry the mere presence of mothers (with no father around mind you) annoys you that much, but you should really get used to it already because Kano and her mom is going to be an important thing going forward.
>>4205849They literally talked about the kiss. It's clearly setting up something to happen. Didn't you see how much Kano blushed? Relax. or stop watching and come back after confirmation on whether or not it follows through.
>>4205868>>4205872Don't give him any more attention.

>>4205807Ouch, this feels like he took a jab at stuff like Hina Logi or Gekidol, way to go.He'd better deliver though or he's going to look like a fool later on.
I came here from /a/ to check on whether it's true that /u/ is mad because """"Yoru acted like a straight girl""" and sure enough, there's only one post(by a troll) saying that.
>>4206652Any time someone on /a/ says "/u/ is mad about X trust me bro", assume they're lying.
>>4206653It's likely the guy comes here to post his shit and then goes to /a/ to claim "/u/ is so mad"
>>4206624>Hina Logi or GekidolI can understand the timeloop shenanigans confusing retads like you, but Hina Logi is basic yuri CGDCT with some action How do you miss it? How do you convince yourself is like the kiss never happened?.You're going to bitch about this show as well beause you have no definition of "delivering", just shitposting
>>4206659That's 100% always the case.
Remember the "Japan hates lesbians" schizo from almost two years ago? I think there's a high probability that's also him.
Novel Rawshttps://gagaga.tameshiyo.me/YORUKURA1Short update for today**Update starts at "It was a few weeks"** (covers Mahiru's flashback + her talking to Kiwi, with some really good LN-only dialogue)tl;dr, in the anime, when Mahiru says "jellyfish can't swim on their own" to Kiwi, the flashback startsBut in the LN, she has the flashback first, and then she has this conversation with Kiwi (this is just the dialogue ofc):K: “...So you’ve really given up on drawing?”M: “Drawing, huh…”M: “I just don’t have a reason to, like…I don’t see the point of it.”K: “You could do it for yourself, you could do it for literally any reason!”M: “I can’t do anything on my own.”K: “You can’t say that like it’s a fact…”M: “But jellyfish can’t swim on their own, y’know? And do you know what happens to a jellyfish if you place it in an aquarium with no current whatsoever?”K: “...No.”M: “They sink to the bottom, unable to swim, but since they wouldn’t be able to survive like that, they try to swim, and manage to float a little. But they don’t have the stamina to keep swimming upwards, so they sink again. ……and they keep repeating this over and over…”K: “......”M: “Until they run out of strength and die.”
>>4206705Forgot to post the TL, it was done by someone on yorukura serverLN volume 1 chapter 1 fan translation (wip)https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MEJLi2NjWU1PzPo1497BgWJnwz5t9QQTjwtoV3o1_kQ/view?usp=sharing
A look into the creative process of JELEE.
>>4206624>Hina Logi or GekidolTechnically Jellyfish is already ahead, Hina Logi kiss was never mentioned again and in Gekidol the kissed girl asked to pretend it never happened, and they did just that.There's actually a long and sad history of inconsequential kisses outside of yuri manga adaptations, hopefully this anime will break the chain.
>>4206709Oh, that's nice, thanks!I'll give it a read once I'm home! Or should I wait until the entire volume is translated? I don't know how long does that usually take though.
>>4206705Is Mahiru implying she's gonna fucking die the second this gig is over
>>4206777>Hina Logi kiss was never mentioned againIt kind of happened at the end and was unapologetically in the mouth, so still a step ahead until we see Jellyfish follow through.

Crepes are a very lesbian food, on a par with macaroons.
>>4206904We can never have nice things.
>>4206705What the hell Mahiru, that is grim. Thanks for sharing this though.
>>4206904Hopefully the pillow IS a separate part so that it can rightfully be replaced by Mahiru's lap pillow.
>>4206777There's no chain to break, you're just an anti-yurifag denying yuri and playing the dissapointed yurifag angle to not get shat onBoth shows are yuri and their kisses relevant. Cope and seethe, yurihater. This is your new cope "the kiss doesn't count"? Nothing counts for you scum. Not even marriage
>>4206777Hina Logi kiss was explicitly mentioned to kiss the person you love the most. At the end of the episode they celebrated Valentine's Day with the lovers chocolate that Nina made and then they embraced each other.I rewatch episode 11 every New Year, you won't get away with denying the yuri in front of me.

>>4207306The live action scene with the love umbrella is also in the OP, as is an animated scene of Yoru and Kano at the same beach from the live action PV. They even talk about building the Shibuya aquarium in the latter.
>>4207312True.

>>4207306Hell yeah, baby! Too bad for Mei though, That's gonna hurt.
Someone on twitter pointed out a cute detail I hadn't paid attention to. Mahiru looks at a picture of Nono-tan's signature pose and tries to replicate it as reference for her drawing, then Kano unknowingly strikes the pose at her during the concert.
https://youtu.be/FLXkC0lM5Ic?si=-klHdD7wMgzpaD3bKano hears that Kiui is taking bike riding lessons and decides to take bike riding lessons too so she can take Mahiro out for a ride.Gay image attached from Kano's imagination?
>>4207712They have the clothes from the beach part
>>4207712That sounds nice. I hope all goes well.
>>4207719Then I guess they will get all the way through the training.But remember what happened with Super Cub when they showed riding double when the driver had their license less than a year? All the complaints. Afro has never had Rin give Nadeshiko a ride in Yuru Camp because she still has her green/yellow chevron on!
