This is a thread for talking about the history of yuri media. How it started. How it developed. Its most notable moments and its "firsts".If you're an amateur yuri scholar, pull up a seat and feel free to contribute with something interesting about yuri history you feel everyone ought to know about (but maybe doesn't).
>>4480005have YH actually acknowledged it? I'm legitimately curious since it's becoming the standard name among english fans but I've always heard it's not as popular with JP fans.
>>4480005She has tweeted that it was YH's publisher that created the termshttps://x.com/OkazuYuri/status/1700796268891476238

Eternal Filena volume 3 is out, or at least most of it is, they're releasing the chapters daily so there are still a few left to go.https://www.foxaholic.com/novel/eternal-filena-vol-3/
>>4481243Nice, I have been waiting in the wings. This anomaly is worth exploring further.
>Search "Yuru Yuri">No resultLet's fix that, /u/.
>>4474409>harem is the textbook example of this, being the bottom of the barrel of yuri.Ok, but harem is about the pairing of one protagonist with multiple (all) candidates, not of all (many) candidates with all (many). I actually don't like harem yuri precisely because it favors one specific protag over the rest of the cast in a central role.But yeah, otherwise I gather our tastes in terms of what we're looking to get from the medium are just different, I guess, and I respect that.>You just happen to like random headcanons more than the work itself.Perhaps guilty as charged in spirit, but the work itself (the context, the background, time/location, the aesthetic, the style, the language) is still crucial for grounding the fantasies.I guess I'm approaching it more as a 2hu fag.
>>4470351It was a very good movie, featuring the only fucking non-useless lesbian in this entire story, because she actually has a girlfriend. It was just all around fun.>>4470981>not in terms of yuri which has thankfully outgrown those boundaries over timeIt's just funny to me that Yuru Yuri was basically supposed to be a parody work based on the title Namori's actual legit yuri series called Yuri Yuri (I'm not making this up).Namori is entirely capable of writing real yuri. She just happened to make so much money with bait that she never stopped doing it.
I'll start with meg and Jo from Burst Angel.Also, all of the couples from girls with guns series.
>>4458657This is seriously underrated. I find curious it wasn't rare to find yaoi couples on yuri back then and even yuri couples on yaoi. The genre was still attached to its shoujo roots
>>4477275ultra-based
No Kiddy Grade in this thread?? Also damn what the hell even was this name>>4446394BRS has lost some of its mystique over the years The entire franchise spawned from random ass art by huke and then that art spawned the song and so on, all during a time when the internet was not nearly as commercialized and consolidated as it is now.Even if it is arguably easier than ever for indepdendent creators to go big now, that sense of wonder from the early internet days just isnt quite the same.
>>4419380I was about to mention KonoSetsu!Also: Gods bless this madlass who still regularly posts new KonoSetsu art in 2012+13

Does anyone still collect English Blu-ray/DvD's and manga?I've been collecting them for the longest time, but i'm getting really tired of a lot of series never getting released physically or having their license sat on for forever (fuck CR). I used to have a list for DvD/Blurays i was waiting to be announced, and it had about 25 yuri entries alone before i stopped using it. Then english manga will sometimes just stop halfway through a series for some reason too.Frustrating seeing so many holes in my physical collection, and i feel like it's only going to get worse as physical media gets made less and less. Manga also takes forever to get licensed so i always end up with half JP and half EN after switching over. You can still get JP manga pretty cheap (unlike blurays), so i might just replace my EN manga with JP ones. It helps that i also prefer the paper in JP manga more despite supposedly being cheaper material, it just feels better to flip through as the paper is smoother and texture is less noticeable
>>4478612I used to try and get licensed english yuri but I don't get level of fomo compared to jp yuri. I have a small but nice collection of english special editions from the previous sentai sales which is really the only licensed yuri I've picked up in the last 5 years, and while their collector versions are pretty cool, the standard editions are just pressed discs in a blue case with no frills so its hard to feel like I'm missing out if I don't get it. For manga it isn't even close. Original copies of a manga are in a different league from licensed junk. The paper quality, binding, dust jacket art, hidden book cover art, everything about it is a uniquely better experience. If you can afford the time and money to deal with importing it really is worth the effort.
I hope I can afford this.
I love acrylic stands like this. The design is so pretty.
>>4478612I'm just collecting the manga, there isn't that many yuri anime that I actually want

Never thought I'd like the lesbian yandere so much.
Wow, she got an early start on the gay.
/ourgirl/ is back in this month's chapter
>>4474857lol
how much longer do i have to wait to be able to watch the movie...

>>4475890Awww, that's cute. Lucky for her she'll finally get a chance to taste something not made by Sulfur (who was always too busy to learn how to properly cook) or Selenium (and her aforementioned obsession with alternative sweeteners). Iodine probably got plenty of practice back in her sorority days: since Chlorine was in charge of the meals that left the desserts up to Iodine. Fluorine likes to lecture them about dental hygiene now, but Iodine remembers how much she'd always bug her for more. >EuCsOh it's got to be that, doesn't it? Or, at least, Europium quickly picking up on Caesium's feelings and giving her the space that she needs to express them. Just the thought Europium being so so so patient with her while Caesium tries to put into words what she's been feeling around her. Working through all those new emotions. Holding hands for the first time, that sort of thing. Europium must be head over heels with how damn guileless Ceasium is about everything.
>>4476115Flo could never say no to Iodine's sweets. Thankfully the rest of the girls never really caught that connection between the two of 'em. Although between Tel and her sisters, it sounds like Tel might've learned how to cook normal things.>EuCsEuro likely wakes up after visiting Caesium and spends time in bed, just giggling and kicking her feet. Caesi's sooo adorable , it's so unfair. Rubi probably raises a questioning eye upon whenever she sees Euro acting blushy while Caesi's pushing herself through something. Like maybe privately talks to Caesi type of questioning, cause she wants to make sure everything's alright, but I think Rubi's probably happy for her. I'm sure if Lith ever saw one of their moments she'd probably pointedly ignoring that phantom pain of longing she just felt and focus on feeling proud of Caesi.
>>4478015>Tel might've learned how to cookWas either that or MREs. Which...she was probably fine with, honestly, but cooking up a handful of relatively simple meals was a quick way to make friends. Adds to her charm if she can surprise Iodine with breakfast in bed, even if it is just scrambled eggs. >EuCsTurns out Caesium is most expressive when she's working on one of her watches. Not overtly, but in the little twitches that Europium learns to look out for, the steady blinks, the slight pursing of the lips. Constrast that with the simple thumbs up and stoic nod Caesium flashed Rubi with when she first approached her about all this. First Lithium catches Sodium zoning out over her homework with a dreamy look on her face for aome inexplicable reason, then Rubidium hurriedly heads off after a meeting to Francium's room for the umpteenth time this week, and now Caesium? What's going on around here?
>>4478063Tel likely makes several mean omelettes and may have mastered the crepe, but it's definitely something that doesn't register to her. Food's food, beyond the deliciousness that are sweets, so it goes in her tummy. Acourse it's better when yummy, it goes without saying.>AlkaliLith laments to both Mn and Po about the unusualness and both of them, separately, are torn between biting their tongue or teasing her.
>>4481145Iodine silently curses Tellurium's ridiculously high metabolism. >AlkaliPolonium secretly has no room to talk, she's just better at hiding it than most. Years of practice.
Mine so far is White Angel have no Wings >Amazing, colorful art style>Long, well-written chapters with a good pace and a compelling yet simple story (chapters get longer as the story progresses)>LOTS of chapters >Secondary villain is a 10/10 blonde hottie> Main villain girl is a 10/10 abusive, psycho white-haired hottie with albinism who exerts dominance over the MC and takes pleasure in sexually punishing the secondary villain>Awesome sexual scenes.>Has an ending that doesn’t feel rushed or come out of nowhere.Sequence is trash tho. Wouldnt recomend a read.
>>4478609About halfway through, the author sidelined the main trio and essentially made the newspaper club the new main characters where Neru is a massive yandere lesbian for penpen. Then the series goes full throttle on the supernatural stuff, gives the occult club girls their own kid, and does a rushed out-of-left-field explanation for the Aozora mystery right before the series ends (i think the author really just wanted to end the series by then, probably because they wanted to focus on the new characters).The author then reboots the series as "outsider paradise" starring the newspaper club members in an alternate timeline, which is now on hiatus on its final volume.It's a wild ride, and a lot of people hated the shift, but i felt it was infinitely more enjoyable.
>>4459818This one was interesting but it fumbled the ending.
>>4481011Mangaka who lose focus and are incapable of dividing their series are the worst. Just make a spin-off and end the manga properly dumbass.
>>4481027To be fair, it was a gag manga, it barely had a focus outside of the occasional Aozora chapter; and even with that the tone was starting to change too as Kasumi was having actual mental breakdowns about her genderless crush and comedy being less prominent.Then again im biased because i liked the 2nd half and the spin-off a lot more, even if some parts felt like the author was shitpostingSame thing happened with Watamote after the field trip arc in a way
>>4481016I hated the ending too, but i do think it fits more thematically for what that's worth. Genuine hate-sex yuri is so rare, and it handled it so well until then

A western version of the JAV threads. Post faves, ask for recommendations and all that good stuff. Please try to keep things at least somewhat tasteful and artistic.
>>4469820There was also the Tumblr purge before that.
>>4469820oh right, I thought you were talking about a 4chan purge so I asked which one. I hated the Hub purge, lost so many of my favorites in one swoop

Did you get your maketable plushies of Yuzu and Mei?
They are meant for each other.
Bodysuit besties.
And then this fucking broad shows up.
