Platonic lesbian love is still yuri. Hetcucks get NOTHING out of this. You lose. Anyone watching this in the future will consider it obvious yuri.

No. The director teased yurifags on an interview exclusive to the American market but that's it.
>>
>>290733164
No, he said that he didn't want to write a relationship that came off as typical yuri, so he focused on making it deep and complex.

If we gonna get friendship/open to interpretation Lara x Mari ending (I hope not) the thing which I'm gonna be disappointed about is that director even once didn't show in actual work that Lara in modern times, as some example given with side characters, that girls can love girls too as "princes" go.
I think that should give people a big warning sign that director never ever wanted for viewers to even acknowledge such posibility always strongly showing that girls can only be with male princes here.

Why is it always mermaids or idols? Those are the most outwardly romantic to guys in most stories.
>>
Shame that all these interviews are a thing. Taking a plot point that could easily be read as a case of compulsory heterosexuality (which would pair greatly with a yuri ending) and stripping all the mystique from it by saying “oh no don’t misunderstand it was real love there just wasn’t enough time for it to progress” is dumb as fuck. I think it’s a detriment to any series for its creative’s to explain every story choice like that.

This show in general just feels very toothless so I could see them going for the lamest ending possible. I've heard the director is the protege of Ikuhara's protege yet Ikuhara would never make anything this safe.

When i first read the not your typical yuri line my first thought was "if that's true then they'll clearly identify as lesbian and openly declare their love and it gets taken serious by the story?" And my second thought was "yeah right"

Madoka/revstar yuri is the best case scenario with a team of writers who apparently all draw their name out a hat to decide what the story for the next episode will be

Question: according to the writer, Luca and Lara were on the path to true love and in the process of falling in love

Does this mean that Lara has no romantic attraction to Mari? How can she be secretly in love with Mari if the writers confirmed she was in the process of falling in love with Luca?

>>290739277
Ignoring the fact that you can fall in love with more than one person at once, the writer said that it could """perhaps""" turn into true love, which isn't a confirmation of anything. Personally, I find the whole "IF given enough time..." a worthless hypothetical, if given enough time Lara could've fallen in love with literally anyone in Shiga, even fucking Yoshida, but the time limit was always part of the story. Having spend three months dating him without going anywhere should tell you that perhaps Luca wasn't the best candidate for this. By the way, the writer also acknowledges that the anime focuses on the relationship between Lara and Mari

So in the end the director is just cheap baiter who intentionally used yuri word in the interview fully knowing he should not do so cause he never actually mean to show it happening.
A show where a girl ends dating a boy is not a yuri work, and for sure it's not typical yuri work either.
And then you wonder why most yurifags are rabid mad dogs, well they have their reasons as this anime shows.

Mari’s mom’s tagline, could literally mean anything. Can’t extrapolate from this. It’s more than likely just a fun nod to the show while also saying to enjoy watching it.
>As for the moments when Lara and Mari’s hearts were moved, I’d rather deliberately keep those tucked away inside my own private treasure box, and let all of you receive and interpret them directly from the images on the screen.
Her VA loves saying this stuff. Same thing with the “How would you describe Lara?” from last ep. Genuinely she’s just being cheeky at this point. And again this just points to an up to interpretation ending more than anything

Thanks for confirming you're either a retard or a tourist. "Boy meets Girl" is objectively a term used for romantic stories, and girl meets girl derivates from it, so...
I don't even know what level of retardation you need to be at to think it actually just means two people meet each other.

If yuri is so unpopular that you need to relegate it to its own small section of the medium, then stop fucking baiting yuri in so many series. They obviously think there's money to be made with yuri, and yet don't want to commit to it. Romance is in so many anime/manga that aren't specifically romance series, but you're saying that that romance outside of explicit yuri romance series always needs to be generic straight relationships. Which again, all of this isn't really an issue. The issue is they still put so much into the series to pair the girls up. If you know you're not going to do yuri, then stop doing that. It's possible. I've read tons of shoujo manga that have no significant hints of yuri. They're doing it on purpose and it's disingenuous and annoying.

Ruri Rocks author draws yuri and /ss/ seperate porn works, so either the girls are lesbians or are into shotas. So valid yuri/GL take.
Super Cub or K-On! are just CGDCT type of anime variation, I never saw anyone ever mentioning it being a yuri/GL series, so it's just a lie from you.
Frieren is not a yuri series and I never saw anyone calling it a yuri/GL series either on any yuri board, so another lie from you, and no, a single twitter transexual screenshot of your followed friends isn't a confirmation either.
Lucky Start series had really close relation between Konata and Kagami, i nsome points it could be considered romantic in nature from Kagami tsundere side so it is valid take as yuri.
KLK had actual bisexual females making out in it and kissing, so yeah it is valid to consider it a yuri anime in a way even if that ended in bad end.
>>
>>290740546

Well you can also complain that we never saw any Lara x Luca development either in the 2 speed run dating episodes we got of them either.
Just a result they like each other for some unknown reason cause one is a weirdo into mermaid tails (cause if Lara wasn't a meraimd and he didnt witness that he would never even bother to approach her, still this is the weakest writing point of this story where they basically had to put Luca out of nowhere on that bridge to force things happening in such stupid way) and other was into past prince who looked like his exact copy retarded explanation given in this story.

This is completely false. I’m watching every explicit yuri show this season and I highly doubt a single one of them will get renewed.

So far most episodes besides a couple developed their relationship, some more subtle than others. 2, 3 and 8 were definitely the highlights but 4, 5 and 9 had some interesting scenes too.

As I was doing a rewatch I noticed that the bakery episode kind of mirrors how Lara's relationship with Luca went.
>Lara gets pressured by granny to find job to get money for the window. She stars working at the bakery because it's the only place that accepted her even though she doesn't have any other job experience or other proper qualifications.
Lara pressured by Grace to find a prince soo that she can find true love to save her family. She starts going out with Luca since he seems like the best bet and is also interested in her despite her being a mermaid.
>The work starts kind of rough and tiring, but as she keeps working she gets better at it and starts enjoying it.
Their relationship starts bit rocky, but the more they see each other the better they get along. They have fun together and Lara starts in a way feeling love for him.
>After a while Lara notices that she has been neglecting her search for the true love. Lara starts to feel the stress and pressure so, in order to quickly get back to her search, she tries to rush things by doing jobs she hasn't been trained for yet and getting the pay rise for them. Then in a moment of stress and panic she ends up messing up.
Even after a quite a while of hanging out together, Lara's and Luca's relationship doesn't seem to be progressing that much. The impending time limit causes Lara to try to get the relationship to the next level to hopefully light the spark even though she isn't really sure about things. She confesses and pushes for more intimacy, but doesn't feel the light and instead gets push back from Luca. This cause Lara to feel rejected and the fish dagger starts messing thing up.
I guess the dagger attacking Kota at the end of the bakery episode and then Luca at this point in the relationship kind of mirrors in a way too.
>>
>>290740746
Second part isn’t true. Yuribait serves mainly the purpose of allowing otakus to jerk off to two girls being physically close but still having the propensity to get with a man. Roping in genuine fans of lesbian relationships is just a bonus but it doesn’t amount to much

I blame author for that with her retarded views on things.
All her hetero or non-romance works fail horribly, so she blaims the yurifans for not supporting her enough as she wanted to try these new genres.

>>290740794
This is a good point? And at the end of the bakery episode, Lara finds her resolve to continue working there and even gets some sweets for Mari. This is a reference to how Lara will continue dating Luca in the epilogue while having a weirdly intimate but still just friends relationship with Mari

LMAO where. The only time it's gotten even slightly serious was closer to the beginning with Chinatsu raping Akari and Chitose mouth raping everyone. Every other part of the series is the same stuff as every other cgdct yuri bait series.

Even in Oomuroke they've been dragging out Nadeshiko's relationship for way too long. That's my biggest criticism of both of these series, that they're stale gag series at this point with basically no yuri, not even the small bit of more explicit stuff it used to have at the beginning.

So are you saying that Japan's definition of yuri is not explicit romance? In that case you could already consider this series yuri. You fags constantly contradict yourselves. Saying to watch actual yuri but then Japan calls what the west considers yuri bait yuri. And also saying this series isn't yuri despite apparently fitting Japan's definition.

Let's see if this leak is true after all.

The process of consuming a human spirit is what kept the lights on. Mermaids lured men by romancing them until their light was big enough, then they fed them to the big fish and powered up their kingdom for a while. Grace fell in love with a human and refused to feed it to the fish, fish still needs to be fed, hungry fish starts feeding on merfolk instead, Lara's mom decides to feed herself to the fish so Grace can be happy with her human, her light was so strong it powers up the fish for centuries. Eventually the fish gets hungry again, it needs to feed on new human in love or mermaid princess. Grace plan is to feed Lara's lover to the fish to prevent her family from feeding Lara to the fish. Grace tells all this to Lara and gives herself to the fish before it starts voring the remaining members of Lara's family. But Grace's light was tiny so the fish is still hungry and Lara must decide what to do.

I never told you to go watch something; you must be thinking I am somebody else. Also, I don't show was ever advertised as yuri, besides literally one word in one interview. The show can have 'yuri elements,' but ultimately this is a fantasy, drama, and romance(Luca x Lara) series.

I'm not saying it's advertised as yuri. People keep obsessing over something being advertised as one thing or another. Based on the CONTENT of the series it has two girls with a close relationship, which seems to fit Japan's definition of yuri. Hell, someone said Yuru Yuri was yuri above and yet it's no more explicit (at least in the last 10+ years) than something like Hibike or this series.

There are no yuri undertones in this show, silly yurischizos. You're jumping at shadows.

I like how they let the actual yurishit of the season flop to push this bullshit.

If you want to see an actual /u/nuch, just look at this /u/tard from Flipland
>>290705014
>>290690057
>>290736702
>>290732035
His main name is Aidor/u/fag !3tRI5Ckj4Q and he's been bullshitting several threads across /a/. He's a purityfag that resides on /u/ to avoid seeing male producers

Only casuals gaijins take shoujo yuribait at face value, i do not see that behavior even on jop gay circles.
Is still amusing the mental gymnastics they do to put nana and hachi as le lesbians icons when the manga has been on its most traditional heterosexual point for years.

God damn it, if this doesn't end with the two making out beneath the moonlight and living happily ever after, I will personally mail Kinema Citrus an exploding bag of cow dung.
This shit legitimately gives me heartache.
