I'll start with meg and Jo from Burst Angel.Also, all of the couples from girls with guns series.
Seriously missing action girls in yuri shows.
>>4416061Which one are you posting?
>>4416117What happened?
>>4416050>all of the couples from girls with guns seriesThe fact that the Gunsmith Cats OVA never materialized into a full anime adaptation is one of the greatest crimes in anime history
>>4416211It's only because it was an OVA that it looked that good, also isn't Rally Vincent a lesbian but never gets a girl throughout the main series and burst?
>>4416050Yomi/KaguraI loved Ga-rei Zero - the manga not so much. A prequel novel came out in 2022 written by the anime director, but I haven't been able to find a rip or even buy it.
>>4416350Does the Gunblade count as a gun in this thread?
Forgotten franchises...........
>>4416860Steamy threesome with Mirei never................
>>4416860>>4416938>have the easiest recipe for a successful franchise with a clear audience in mind>fuck it up by shoehorning things that yuri fans dont like
>>4416985I'm talking about the mudmen molesting Mirei in one episode and the tentacles in the finale, also the whole Mamori crushing on a "guy" was totally pointless and just served for cheap dramaIf you're going to make your franchise about an all-female cast where they power up by kissing and fondling each other, dont include hetshit bait
>>4416860She was too big>>4416987I hated Mamori in general. Stupid ass hairstyleShe looekd much better with her hair down
>>4416985>>4416987VDM was only watched by fujoshis in Japan so I doubt they feel uncomfortable with mud men and tentacles, those are pale compared to their perversions. From a commercial pov, I think the problem was that it was too hard for male otakus to believe the girls were pure maidens after they have loud orgasms. Still love the show, especially the English dub where Mirei and Mamori gets a love confession.>>4417061Mamori was a self-insert for the fujo audience. She was a bicurious retard that was bullied in high school. Fujos could relate
>>4417056>they didn't have a clear audience in mind back then>initial PV had both the main couple of the game and anime making out and being lovey dovey with each other>>4417070>VDM was only watched by fujoshis in Japan so I doubt they feel uncomfortable with mud men and tentaclesbut we are not fujos, that shit is not acceptable in yuri
>>4416050>Burst angelIf it wasn't for that obvious male Self insert it would've been perfect
>>4416985I mean it should be noted that after they removed the male SI that the game experienced a more positive reception but it was way too left
>>4417078>LeftMeant Late. I'm a mobile poster things get autocorrected without rhyme or reasoy
>>4416050Can't post pics because rangebans but I will love to post the Madlax ships, they're the ones with the less content on the internet.>>4417076The yuri market wasn't established back then, someone needs to make a timeline about how the market evolved so we can judge some stories based on their historical context.
>>4417076Well that's why those fujoshi are good. I agree they shouldn't have done those two scenes that way but fujos didn't throw the baby out with the bath water and made a bunch of really good fan content instead of going "oh no, this show is impure and forever tarnished".
>>4416050Out of pure chance, youtube decided to give me KonoSetsu videos and I immediately thought of this threadI think most pairings from the 2000's more or less became pretty forgotten by now, aside from some truly iconic ones.
>>4419380I don't even get why Ken Akamatsu didn't have the decency to say these two specifically got married to each other. He already had Negi be with a girl he really didn't interact with on a personal level till after the plot ended, so it's not removing members of the harem. Why couldn't those two who obviously were in love with each other say they got married.
>>4419380>>4419383The iconic couple's likeness has reappeared as twin sisters in the next generation.
>>4416085>>4416060>>4416050I can tell that their kids would look very beautiful
>>4419736Never read UQ holder, did Ken pussy out saying who the parents were?
>>4419776Their grandmothers are KonoSetsu.
>>4419801That's obvious like how their marriage was, but did Ken pussy out by actually saying who they were?
>>4417070Why do you think they were fujos and not himejoshis, or women who are neither? A lot of japanese yuri fanartists draw futa, they love dicks and wouldn't mind the mudmen or the "governor".Some even draw regular het.
There are like 5 people who can name them
>>4419818I agree "fujoshi" is a bit overused to refer to "any female otaku who is into male characters" (especially when quite a few are yumejoshi who like them as husbandos), but look at Pixiv's top "popular among female users" results for Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid. Can be a bit skewed by roleplaying westerners faving random porn, but just on page 1, all of these artists are at the very least also into yaoi if not focused on it:https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/55284867https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/53179320https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/55578795https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/58331939https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/53562377https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/53234136https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/54008637https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/54079202https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/55398991https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/53250094https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/55523395https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/54289549
>>4419952Because yaoi and fujoshi art styles are often seen as either overrated or celebrated, yuri art sometimes relies on their influence to gain more visibility — which can be both limiting and helpful.
>>4419978I mean, just drawing in a really generic hyper-rendered "top Pixiv illustrations" male art style would probably get the most attention on Pixiv, doubly so after the aforementioned influx of western accounts. If anything the yaoi vibes limit viewership but that's just how they draw.
Miraliko has had a recent spinoff anime. But they're still my favourite yuri pairing of all time and there's not enough appreciation for them in the west
>>4419936Got an (admittedly small) folder for them. these were the days where yuri was at it's closest to what I like.
>>4419936Watching that show rn, I really really like it more anime should have lesbians faffing about in Latin America
>>4420050I really like when Ellis pulled out the fork when asked if she had a weapon. Very nice callback to Noir. And then she brings out a second one.
>>4418239Fujos didnt do anything for this franchise whatsoever. This claim is entirely made up.
>>4435864What business do you have replying to posts from a month ago? Not just here but on other threads.
ShizNat still relevant
I don't think I shipped as hard with any other one.
>>4435884How is this a forgotten ship tho?
>>4435864I wonder how this claim even spread. It's like that stupid claim that most of the abhorrent shit drawn in doujins is largely women, lol
>>4436045No because one is just a stupid long-spanning 4chan meme of claiming "ERM actually the, heh *snorts*, 'weird' things I masturbate to are in fact drawn by women, good sir" in all contexts and the other is based on a lot of fujo artists actually legitimately liking Valkyrie Drive and drawing fan art >>4419952
>>4436029Because K-on! Ended over 10 years ago?
>>4436194And it's still popular and in the zeitgeist unlike most 10 year old anime.
>>4436200>And it's still popularDefine "popular".
>>4436213Art this point you just sound like a mindless contrarian...
>>4436213It got referenced in Rock wa Lady no Tashinami just yesterday. Clearly it has some staying power to still be treated as relevant 16 years later, alongside shows aired only a few years ago.
best anime forever
When was the last time /u/ thought of BRS?
>>4446394Yesterday since my OC couple I fantasize about were based off a dream I had about BRS and DM.
>>4446394Constantly, they were my beginning. Fucking rewrote my brain chemistry.
>>4416050Could you recommend another series like this one?
>>4446394I'm rewatching the series with experienced eyes.
I miss them, /u/
>>4451874Kemono Friends betrayed /u/s so it deserves to be forgotten.
>>4469776The next time you want to bump a thread from page 11 in order to kill another one, make sure to write a worthwhile post, or at least post a picture.
>>4469782There are only 10 pages anon.
>>4469799>How to out yourself as a newfag tourist: The Post
>>4469802You must REALLY love Kemono Friends to be this upset.
>>4446394All the time.
