Yori best girlI've seen a lot of people speculate Himari will top when they finally have sex for the first time, but I'm also wondering how much of an appetite Himari has for a more feminine Yori.>feminization
Posted in the other thread, but anyone wondering why quality is inconsistent and there's so much QUALITY: The studio has yet to put out a decent productionThis show is sadly not the exception to their rep https://anidb.net/creator/66586
>>4213406Feminizing tomboys should be publishable by death. Having said that, Yori would probably turn into a wet mess in bed and let Himari have her way with her.
>>4213406I predict Himari will top at least initially, if only to assuage Yori's fears about being pushy and forcing her.But first, a 30 chapter Miki arc.
I've been thinking about how much they fumbled sunny spot this week. The song is the big finale of this first arc and in the manga it makes sense to have a monologue while Yori sings because it's not like we could hear it. So it's a pretty baffling choice to keep the monologue going now that they have a song, making it so that once again you can't hear it. Even just from the production committee side I'd want to make sure the songs and artist they're promoing through the anime actually got heard so people will buy the single or whatever.
>>4213439Makes sense, but I wonder why Seiyuu Radio also looks like shit. Blew the budget on top-shelf seiyuu and animating boob touching scenes?
Can't wait for Shiho to ruin the rest of the anime with her bullshit
>>4213872What anime?
>>4213782Wdym I thought that the monologue was a nice touch
>>4213782The biggest tragedy was, Yori's monologue and the song's lyrics were saying the exact same thing at the exact same time almost the whole sequence. Separately, they both sound good and touching and all that, but why purposely overlap them on top of each other to clash? Also, I'm mildly annoyed the full version of the song wasn't immediately made available anywhere simultaneously with that episode airing. D4DJ Groovy Mix JP has a short version slightly different from the TV version now, but that's it.>>4213653Hey, maybe they can sneak in a YoriHima sex chapter in the middle of whatever side couple shitshow Takeshima's got brewing this time. We might see it happen in 4 months IRL time, as opposed to 3 years.
Can't wait for Shiho to improve the rest of the anime with her bullshit
Shiho cute
>>4213967Hopefully if not a sex chapter, then at least a cuddling/comfort chapter, given how Himari is Miki's best friend and there's no way she won't be feeling like shit after the latest chapter.
How do I become as cool as Yori-senpai?
>>4214178
>>4214176Actually that's a great idea and something we could realistically expect within this volume. Take it slow.
As far back as chapter 1, and probably years ago in the story, Himari knew
>>4213910it is nice but this is an anime about girls being in a bands, writing original songs and playing them. Yori makes a big deal about writing that song for Himari and we don't even get to hear it properly. As >>4213967 says they're also both saying similar things so why not just let the music speak for itself.
>>4214535It's a yuri anime with a girl band, not a girl band anime with yuri. AdaShima didn't focus on table tennis either.
>>4214537sure but they did actually make the song and animate them playing it. They just didn't need to have a monologue on top when they are, sometimes literally, saying the same thing.
>>4214537But this manga has a lot of focus on the music. In adashima it was used so they could waste time together. Here, the music is part of the plot, it is important to the characters.
Anyone else excited for Shiho in the anime?
no
Yes
maybe
I don't know
can you repeat the question?
>>4214537One is called Whisper Me a Love Song, the other isn't called Two Autists Playing Table Tennis.
>>4215677Would be more accurate to call it "Two Autists Dealing with their Hang-Ups Poorly".
>series is called Whisper Me A Love Song>they dont whisper when they sing Dropped. Call me back when we get "Mongolian Throat Sing Me A Love Song"
Well, things are heating up in the drama department!
Tight uncensored handholding
Meritocracy slaps.
>Ugh, ix-nay on the arms-exay
I can't believe Shiho also stole a sizable chunk of the anime budget, it wasn't that good but it is obvious that they put more resources on Laureley's song.
>they straight up gave up drawing the drumsIt's really hard to say what it's worse, the production or the official english subs. At this point just release a slide of pages from the manga with the seiyuu reading the script.
>>4215986
>>4215990JC Staff has tried that with the yakuza househusband show. Replies were not positiveThis show will surprise me if the final episode isn't an absolute mess and if it gets there with 0 delays. Goddamn, Iceblade Sorceror was a mess and I knew this would beYuri adaptations are so cursed and Sasakoi is getting the worst effects of the curse
>>4215990Rude. The drums are there. Mari is just so small you can't see them.
>>4216027Why the fuck do they never learn?
They've accelerated beyond two episodes per volume, even skipping over Yori and Himari's first date as a couple entirely. Get ready, they're going to get all the way to the end of the culture festival leaving a trail of blood from all the cuts.
>>4214535Syncing the monologue with the lyrics is artistically the better choice imho. It gave me goosebumps while watching.
>>4215990Mari is in Kao's pocket.
>>4216264>They've accelerated beyond two episodes per volume, even skipping over Yori and Himari's first date as a couple entirely. Get ready, they're going to get all the way to the end of the culture festival leaving a trail of blood from all the cuts.I bet they really want to end the cour with Himari and Yori kissing under the fireworks
>>4216398That's the end of volume 6 so they wouldn't need to speed up from two episodes per volume if that's where they wanted to end it.
>Caught up with the mangaWhy can't Kino just admit she wants Yori shempai to finger blast her all night long?
>>4216468need to entice the readers so they keep up with the upcoming shit arc that's going to be Miki's obesession
The QUALITY of the some of these scenes just means the Festival kiss is gonna look really fucking good right.
their matching straps.....
>>4216418they've been doing 2 to 3 chapters per episode the whole time and while the last episodes have covered a lot I think it was just to get them on track for a volume 6 ending. Currently it looks like this:>episode 1: ch 1 - 3>episode 2: ch 4 - 5 (vol 1 ends)>episode 3: ch 6 - 8 >episode 4: ch 8 - 10 (vol 2 ends)>episode 5: ch 11 - 13>episode 6: ch 14 - 17 (vol 3 ends)>episode 7: ch 17 - 20 (vol 4 ends)And the next four will probably be something like:>episode 8: ch 21 - 23>episode 9: ch 24 - 26 (vol 5 ends)>episode 11: ch 27 - 30 >episode 12: ch 31 - 32 (vol 6 ends)
>>4216752I can't believe the production is so bad they have to skip episode 10 entirely... Also episode 8 has the title of chapter 25 so it's going to adapt/skip through at least five chapters. I'm sorry, but there are no breaks on this train.
>>4216942Maybe they want to end the season on onee-chan no baka.
>>4216942oh shit I didn't notice I skipped past episode 10, sorry. But damn, if they're up to chapter 25 next week then we really are doing a whole volume per episode now, huh? On one hand at least you don't run into typical yuri adaptation problem of leaving arcs unfinished, on the other this production barley has the budget to animate a normal episode, never mind ones with an extra 3 minutes since keep adding by cutting the op and ed.
Damn, they even forgot to draw Yori's microphone stand on the shots without the 3D model. I feel bad for the mangaka, imagine the happiness of getting your manga adapted crush by the realization that the anime is a steaming pile of dog vomit.
>>4217530And the art is good in the manga too. This is basically the Berserk 2016 of yuri.
>>4217530>>4217548The anime has tons of issues but stop exaggerating.
>>4216685Are we even going to get the festival kiss with all the content they have to cut to blaze through Shiho's arc?
>>4217559There's a chance it either gets cut, which would be a fucking tragedy, or they rush so fast we'll see it by episode 9.
>>4217530It hasn't ruined the enjoyment for me at least but its the most obvious example of development/production issuse in recent memory.
>>4217559hyperbole aside it looks like it'll be in the stage play too. I wonder how much that will adapt? If I remember right Yagakimi's stage play just covered the anime the first time round, then for the second run they added the manga's ending.
>>4217701>manga endingDid they do the sex scene?
>>4217743well okay, they adapted nearly everything in the manga. It's the same theater company that's putting on sasakoi so if you're curious then you can check it out subbed.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_qffgJZewE&list=PLrGwdZRwXOtWJrar-WYxjuoXXWVwCXsVo&index=2
>>4217530I don't think mangakas care that much about their anime as long as they don't change the story without their consent. Most are probably just grateful for the increased exposure they get.
Only couple who had segs life
>>4218884Kaori locked in her golden ticket early and now gets to sit back and watch the various dramas unfold in her circles unbothered.
>>4219003You say that now but Miki was the same way before Eku decided to give her drama. No one is safe.
a production assistant replied to that viral tweet about how band the band sections were this week apologizing and saying they upload episodes 3 days before they air which is why there are so many mistakes. https://x.com/nikuzushi_suki/status/1795023121491059167
>>4219555>delayed by a season>still time-crunched to hell and backI want to see what they would've put out in winter.
>>4219561This show was delayed too? I thought only Jelee was delayed from last fall?
>>4219561People underestimate how strict the issue of schedules and contracts that have to be fulfilled is, if Toei was willing to almost kill digimon (anime) to not lose a slot in the schedule, anything bad is possible.Now I question if these people would put faith and effort in the BD.
>>4219579The only advantage is that it helps humiliate Eupho even more this season, even with lower production values, this anime is still better.
>>4219561>I want to see what they would've put out in winter.Would've devolved into Evangelion's marker scenes by episode 3
>>4219937we're already starting to approach this level
>>4219945That's a rare modern example of a chibi comedy scene that is all but extinct in anime.
>>4219581It really, really isn't.
>>4219946there's something about how thick the lines are compared to other times they've done it just makes it seem kind of odd.
>>4219945I don't think that shot was even that bad compared to the rest of the anime>the trying-out-clothes scene and Shiho in general in episode 6>almost all of the band scenesIt's also close enough to the manga. I know people complain about lazy adaptations just tracing the manga but considering the sheer lack of time/talent/budget the studios adapting this have, almost every time they tried to go off and do their own thing it looks way worse.>>4219962I've seen people wonder if the artstyle was changing just for the "normal" models multiple times per episode and that could be another symptom of the production hell this went through.
>>4219966yeah it's kinda sad that this adaptation will primarily be remembered for it's production issues. I'm also not sure how normal it is to bring in a new production assistant to work on the last 3 episodes of a show so I can't say if that's a good sign or not. The fireworks kiss is likely going to be episode 9 so that's beyond what he can go back and tweak.

>>4220822I wouldn't call Hibike het, it has way more yuri than het.
>>4220847Novel spoilers: it ends in het, no girls get togetherKumiko gets together with Suuichi Fuck off
>>4220855That's in the novels, but the anime has so few scenes with them that it can hardly be called a relationship (wouldn't be surprised if they don't have them get together at all but that might happen even if it would be bullshit).Meanwhile a yuri couple got an entire movie for themselves, and two more are practically confirmed to have gotten together (not to mention Kumiko's confession to Asuka).
>>4220824what a mess. I feel for everyone still working on it but it sounds like we're in for a bumpy ride till the finale.It's a shame that between this and Villainess looking like a mid 2000s digipaint show that only Yuri is my Job came out decent from this newest batch of Yuri Hime adaptations.
>>4220824>So now its time for the heavier stuff. Did you know what scummy business Yokohama and Cloudhearts are during with the Sasakoi? They use outsourcing studios, giving them nothing to work with and in the end the outsourcing studios are the ones with the backlash.Zero cross-reference and QA lol
>>4221056It was very easy to tell what must've happened with the concert scene. Different people working on it with no communication and quality assurance.
>next episode delayed for several hours in HiDiveand so it starts. I guess they couldn't get material to sub in time because it's being finished last minute
>>4220824Yeah, knowing who the rat that is posting this is, he's probably got slight drips of information and dramatising that shit. He feeds off clout and loves dramatising shit to fit a narrative. (That and he's just a creep with a penchant for sexual harassment.)Couldn't tell you for sure where the line between the truth and the exaggerated lies, but take some of the stranger details with a grain of salt.
>It will now premiere on Saturday, June 1 at 10:30 PM ET / Sunday, June 2 at 02:30 UTCThat's one hell of a delay.
>>4220824So are gooks animating this?
>>4221441sakugabooru guy was saying similar today.>Decided that Sasakoi spurring the same type of clueless fanfiction about its production imploding as YOI Adolescence's cancelation did is the truest form of queer solidarity (but seriously that viral Twitter thread wraps clear issues with absolutely nonsense & no understanding of how anime is made)>Don't go bother a probably young and clueless fan, just know that anyone online can type whatever and gain traction if it's about an inflammatory topic. I admit that treating "they use outsourcing studios" as a world-shattering reveal made me smile, at leastwhile it's undeniable that there are production issues and crunch happening it seems like that thread doesn't know the ins and outs of industry enough to lay out the hows and whys properly. In saying all that though, they have claimed to be contacted by other staff and will be dropping "more bombs" later.
>>4221515all I know is Takeshima Eku deserved better than this

WELP!https://x.com/AIR_News01/status/1796950865561157962>>June 8: Recap of episodes 1 & 2>June 15: Recap of episodes 3–6>June 22: Episode 9>June 29: Episode 10>The release schedule of episodes 11 & 12 is undetermined pending further notice.
>>4222284>>4222287Be honest with me, does this mean they can recover and deliver better quality or are we still fucked? A 3 week delay is so long to me.
>>4222302GUP and Madoka greet you.
>>4222287oh it's fucked for real.
>>4216752episode 8 made it up to the end of the flashback in 25
>>4222302it's fucked, the episodes will be as >quality as the rest of the showright now i guess they're not close to finished
>>4222343it seems like their aim was to cover up to volume 8 and finish the aki/shiho arc but who knows how that'll pan out now with these delays.
>>4222364Besides the visual issues, I can guess the problems with the pacing, why cover too much: A foolish idea of not ending in the middle of Aki/Shiho arc, even it'd be better for pacing. They wanted the anime to have more finality to it. But Aki/Shiho take over way too soon for the anime to finish before their stuff starts. At that point they had 2 choices:1)Go for better pacing and end the anime in the middle of the arc2)Rush and try to finish the whole arc. Looks like they chose 2
>>4222379If they want to reach volume 9 for the school festival band battle, then the pacing they went with is very weird. First six episodes to cover the Himari/Yori stuff in the first three volumes (and a bit of vol. 4) and then six episodes for volumes 4 to 9? They should've sped the first part up by a couple episodes, that way the overall pacing is still way too fast but at least more evenly spread.
>>4222398Maybe they wanted Himari and Yori to have as many episodes to themselves as possible before they lose focus? They're the MCs. And have been the subject of most of the anime's promotion. If they don't have at least half the show to themselves, it could be a problem
>>4222398I wounder how much the director changing might have played into this? the first director boarded episode 1 so they must have had a plan but perhaps after the switch the new director wanted to try and cover more. It could just as easily be incompetence though, given the current state of things.
>>4222302Any times I've see an anime get delayed it never looks any better for it. At this point they'll just be trying to push out what they're contractually obligated to. I didn't watch Wonder Egg Priority so this is just going off what I remember people talking about but it got similarly delayed with a recap episode and the finale being pushed back months. When the finale did air half of the episode was just more recap footage and the rest was lackluster minimal animation. I think even sasakoi's bluray has been delayed so who knows if they'll even be many fixes on them.
>>4222474Regalia's latest episodes were decent in my opinion so there is still some hope left, the problem of that show was that the shota was a very bad antagonist.
>>4222474>>4222304
>>4222484Regalia was also by a decent studio thst have shown they could deliverEven before the reset episodes didn’t look near as bad as Sasakoi’s recent episodes I wish ACTAS was doing TV yuri instead of just movies (GuP and PriPri). Instead all they do recently for TV is het
so do we have anything to look forward other than QUALITY after 2 recaps and the shitfest of an arc thats coming to the manga?
it's fucked how Asahi out of all studios put out a better anime despite having the same budget
>>4222532>better animeIt was better, but not much better to be honest.More than anything it was the difference in source material that propelled it up compared to Sasakoi, certainly not the adaptation quality.
>>4222528stage play and a yet to be officially announced anthology.
Holy hell what happened?Episode 8 has been delayed until 02/06 02:30 UTC . Due to it airing on Sunday, it will need to be manually ripped so it should be out on Sunday sometime.https://x.com/HIDIVEofficial/status/1796597908260688336?t=Od6TD8wuZ0-45CnrnC9I2QRelease schedule for the rest of the month:08/06: Recap15/06: Recap22/06: Episode 929/06: Episode 10Episode 11 ~ 12 do not have a release date.It's actually so fucking over
>>4223045Wanting attention takes away your ability to look back?>>4222287
Why do we tolerate Shitho again?
>>4223108Because Aki is great and can easily put Shiho in her place (bottom).
I've seen the stupid complaints "where are the boys in this world?" "why does everybody in the story treat being a lesbian as totally normal?", but I, for one, found it refreshing this story didn't engage in the tired "b-b-but we're both girls!" tripe.But then Yori dropped this one chapter after Shiho made Himari her manager and I had forgotten about these lines.
>>4223122I feel like that was something Eku completely forgot about / didn't think she'd make it that far
>>4223223Looks like a JRPG protag on the Wii.
>>4223108Because shiho is literally best girl and she did nothing wrong.
>>4222474Fixes on BDs are usually modest these days, since discs are no longer a very important revenue driver. Some of the worst scenes may get fixed, but not too much. Since the studio will also have other, more pressing commitments, BDs could easily get delayed for more than a year. Don't expect miracles.
I know this is the last of the show's worries, but man, it's a bummer how they're in such a hurry they have to comb through each chapter and remove anything that's deemed not strictly necessary to progress the main plot. We end up losing lots of charming moments like Aki catching Shiho actually being tense about passing the audition.
>>4223793Shiho is already a divisive character so it's a shame that they've cut some of the smaller moments that humanize her, like that one and Hajime comforting her after the concert. Those are both moments that remind you she's still a dumb teen who worries about stuff like everyone else. Also as much as I liked the alternate ending with Laureley it was surreal watching it knowing they can barley afford to animate the actual episodes. They could have used that time and money on episodes 9 to 12 but here we are with a two week delay.
>>4223961They also cut the entire scene of Himari actually learning about the band feud from Shiho herself while at cooking club, which also had more moments between Laureley members. I do really like the ED though, it must've been commissioned to a different team uninvolved with animating the episodes themselves and so we got this weird amalgamation of episodes that can barely hold together and a well-made ED.
the volume 10 extras are going to be awkward.
>>4223122I mean it's different, right there is more of a "do I have to be jelaous of every girl she is with" rather than the tripe of we can't date because we are both girls and that's impromper
>anime production is a disaster>all the cute shiho moments are getting cut
So I'm guessing I should just start reading the manga from chapter 1 rather than from the point the anime ends?
As far as production disasters go, one of the anime that jumps to my mind first is Marchen Madchen, and this anime is already following in its footsteps>episodes 9 and 10 delayed 2 weeks>last 2 episodes left completely in the air (Marchen Madchen's last 2 episodes were initially delayed 9 months but didn't actually air until 13 months later)>>4224356Ignoring the art and animation falling apart, the anime follows closely enough to the manga until about episode 6/chapter 15, so chapter 16 (or the Vol. 2 extra) would be a good place to start....which was what I was going to say but there were a few good scenes sadly cut from as early as chapter 9.
>>4224363
>>4224363Vol. 3 extra*
>>4224363Might as well tell anon to read from the start, it's worth it for the art alone even if the anime hadn't started cutting too much stuff out yet. That said, I'm sad Yori's dad was completely cut.
why make an "anime" if you don't have any budget for it?
>>4224356You definitely should. Art is cute so why not just start from the beginning. Shouldn't take too much of your time.
>>4224369True. It's just the last time I did something like this was for WataYuri but when I went back and read the start of the manga it didnt seem like the anime skipped anything.
>>4224368There's more to production problems than just budget. Watch Shirobako to know about everything that can go wrong during the creation of an anime.
>>4224086>>4224368Why are there people acting like this is the only anime with production problems? There are much more embarrassing cases (God Eater anyone) or that one where the animation studio changed because the author didn't like the result.
>>4224435>google God Eater anime>2015Gee, maybe because your first comparison is almost 10 years old. Recency is kind of relevant.
>>4224435For all its faults, the God Eater anime at least *looked* good and had actual directing, however questionable it was.New anime with Female MC never
>>4224436>>4224439The shameful part is that these people aspired to more than they could really handle and in the end they couldn't handle it.What's annoying about the Sasakoi adaptation, is that some people clearly come with the attitude of "this is yuri and that's why it's bad" and that there's no mention that the production problems aren't as dramatic as some try to make them out to be.
>>4224435They're not? This thread has already mentioned girls und panzer, magica record and wonder egg. People are just bewildered and/or sad that this anime which was already delayed a whole season still managed to fumble getting the final episodes out. On top of that we just came off of two other yuri hime anime's releasing just fine when sasakoi is arguably the more popular title of the three, as well as GBC and jelly grabbing a lot of attention from the yuri crowd this season. It makes its failures look worse even if there are others that fucked up way more.
>>4224442>>4224451I think Sasakoi it is dying thanks to its potential rather than for being just a cheap adaptation, the anime was in production just when MyGo was exploding in popularity so it was kind of obvious that they discarded their original plan to make it just another love story and their new plan was to monetize the musical part of the story (part that Takeshima has no rights over with the exception of the characters and the bands names) and that's why we are in this mess right now. So no, it isn't the yuri or the budget the problem here.
>>4224454That makes sense, so it's more of an adaptation with production problems and it's more of a multimedia project with production problems, it may seem similar but the second one has more "things" involved.Although in this sense, I think that anime should take the typical CG route for presentations, which is not cheaper but what it does is save time, which is also important.>>4224451>> sasakoi is arguably the more popular title of the three, as well as GBC and jelly grabbing a lot of attention from the yuri crowd this season.That reminds me of a tweet (in Japanese) that mentioned the scene of the Yuyuyu S3 band, due to the popularity of the 3 series of bands this season, Sasakoi is included there (I mention it just out of curiosity)
>>4224454I hadn't considered the ambition of the project wanting to hype up the music more to be a factor but it does make sense, we even saw that this week where the episode was cutting corners at every turn (placing the camera behind characters so they they didn't need to animate them talking, few to none background characters in the hallways or streets) but still having a new ending featuring Laureley's song. The stage play has also been hyping up the live music performances with a lot of bts of the girls practicing. And yes, the fact that it'd be a part they didn't have to pay Takeshima royalties for would have definitely incentivized them.
Interesting collaboration.
>>4226535Now this makes me want one with Show By Rock too, it would make sense.
>>4226536Why is it with Hello Kitty and not Show By Rock? Somethings off here.
>>4226555Probably just cos they currently don't have anything SBR-related to promote right now. That and it's just Sanrio's thing to have Hello Kitty to collab with literally every property on the planet.
I can never remember Maa-chan's real name.
>>4226535cute! though it does make me sad again about the production problems as this was really meant to be its moment and there's always going to be somewhat overshadowed by the delays and such.
>>4226683Overall it's not as bad as some make it out to be (WUG was much worse) but there's no denying that the anime will be remembered for that, plus it doesn't have the same hype as other troubled productions, to sustain itself when the last episodes of the anime come out.
>>4226683>they both get an ear budThat's actually extremely adorable
>>4226683>not sharing wired earphonesBlasphemy.
>says this>yet is somehow upset that they are togetherI don't get it. How does it make any sense?
>>4226786She wants to be the middle spoon.
>>4226536>>4226555I agree, especially a collab with Mashumairesh. Himari and Yori in a way act similar to Howan and Himeko. And not just them, Kaori and Mari are very similar to Ruhuyu and Delim in personality and how they interact. Mari even sounds so much like Delmin that I had to check to see if they had the same seiyuu. Even a couple of the scenes from the Mashumairesh (and STARS!!) anime are similar to scenes in Sasakoi. A Sasakoi x Mashumairesh collab would have been just perfect.
>>4226786She wants them to make up, not make out.
>>4226923I love those parallels in both series, it makes me love both more.
>>4226942>she didn't know that one would lead to the otherAmateur mistake.
>>4226923There are two very big differences between Himeko and Yori, though.
>>4226713They're sharing the same Bluetooth channel, so arguably they're on a higher level closeness by being in the same wavelength.
>>4226786The truth is that Shiho is the one Miki loves. The incest setup was just a red herring. That's why she wanted them to be friends again, so that Shiho would start visiting their house again.
>>4227102You wish
>>4226999Yes, those spiral ponytails are huge.
>>4227102So when is the next episode?
>>4228087>>4223045
>>4228511>get a new chapter before a new episodeWell at least we'll have something to talk about. How will Miki's wild ride go?
>>4226923I miss Howan and Himeko.

Nothing that new desu.https://x.com/Patstar_1999/status/1800170206343675948>80-90% of Yokohamas were moved onto other projects, removed and left uncredited, or just quit. >Episodes were only finished hours before airing (production assistant already posted about some being finished 3 days before).>Episode 8 was so down the wire the subs had to be delayed.>Staff didn't know the 2 week delay was going to happen and the subs reflect that as they show the title for episode 9 at the end instead of "Prelude".>Leaker claims the delay happened because their last thread went viral and reached JP twitter.>Episode 9 is mostly finished, episode 10 is still being worked on.>Thread says episode 11 started production a few days ago but then says ep11 and 12 haven't been started yet and that none of the staff know if they'll air on TV or just be bluray releases. >Bluray fixes for past episodes will only happen if the higher-ups think it's worth it (unlikely).
Ichijinsha needs better bargaining power so they can assure they don't get a studio and staff that causes delays. Sadly, all the "good ones" are busy and booked for other shows that are "safe bets."
>>4229322>no episodes 11 and 12 done with storyboards and animatics like the last two episodes of EvangelionShame.
>>4230382No animation studio is exempt from screwing up in every way, there is nothing safe, not even with successful or popular franchises.
>>4226683>don't clean the skin and oils off your girlfriend's ear bud and just jam it into your own ear
Incest route confirmed.
Miki a shit
>waits til right after Aki and Shiho get togetherDumb. It's obviously not going to go anywhere. The chapter ending with her visiting the cookery club is obviously setting up her and Shiho talking next chapter which should be good.
>>4233835I pray they hard commit and she wins. That'll be the only way this manga can be saved
>>4233880with a NTR route?
>>4233881They both get their respective girlfriends, but when they're home alone, it's sisterly bonding time
Shiho isn't sharing Aki.
>>4233883Would still be NTR for Ayaka.
>>4233897>Miki and Aki live togetherShiho lost...
>>4233900>Would still be NTR for Ayaka.
>>4233905Not for much longer.
>>4233905Shiho belongs to old women anyways
I predict that Miki gets a crush on Momoka and drama spirals from there.
>>4233951If Miki fell in love that easy she would've been in love with Himari already considering they are childhood friends. inb4 retcon to have Miki in love with Hima
>>4233836Yes, author should be focus on other lesbian characters but go with incest route with bislut. And many people kinda hate her probably due to the fact that she has boyfriend before.
>>4233880mediocre fluffy yuri dramatically improves during yaya villain arcimmediately goes the incest routeit was mid to begin with, there's nothing worth saving
>>4234094Even dramas are dumb and they’re dragging it about 4 or 5 volumes. They don’t have any idea to keep story alive and now they did incestbait.
>Haters are all ESLNot surprised at all.
>>4234103>待ち受け>Here's a mashup of two super basic words you learned years ago to mean something almost completely unrelatedNever going to be fluent in this stupid language.
>>4233916She'll change her mind once she finds out her cute little sister is in love with her. Or she'll let Miki move in with her for some pure sisterly bonding time without parents around to interrupt.
>Comic AnthologyI wonder who's going to be in it. Yuama's practically a free space since she's both a fan of the series and a friend of Takeshima. My selfish hopes:Already has/had a manga run(ning) in Yuri Hime:>Itsuki Kuro>Yakiniku TeishokuPicks more "out of left field":>Yuzuki Ryota>MARUTA>Yakitori Teishoku (toriyaro)
>>4213399i have yet to watch the anime. should I? i heard that even the author dropped it
>>4234667If its open to people beyond Yuri Hime you could expect Namori.
>finally getting another episode soonSurely they fixed all the issues, right?
some nice new art
they're also getting figures. I think watayuri got 3 different sets so maybe we'll see some more in the future.
>>4236576Designed by Suzunoki Rin.
>>4236576>Never beating the allegations>>4236503Yuru Yuri and Oomuro-ke are still running in Yuri Hime but yes, Namori is also a good choice
>>4236567Should've drawn Himari on Laureley's side.
Just a reminder we're getting a new episode today
I do not like Shiho
After 3 weeks I forgot how YoriHima being lovey-dovey soothes the heart >>4237469Yeah she's kind of a bitch
Dang I was checking this thread to see if the anime was worth it or not but seems like it’s been a trashfire mostly, does it do justice to anything in the manga?I imagine at least the VAs are good.
I'm sure the mangaka must be truly happy about how they butchered her work.
>>4237815No money from extra BD sales, no money from manga boost sales cause anime butchered the adaptation.I actually feel sorry for the author, makes you curious if they will get any money from it.
>>4237778The production troubles aside, they've had to skip a good chunk of the slice-of-life moments that don't explicitly advance the story so they can fit both major arcs in one cour (and since those moments tend to be YoriHima moments (their "first date" since becoming lovers, for example), dedicated Shiho haters find themselves with a less favorable ratio.)
Takeshima Eku didn't tweetted anything for the new chapter in Yuri Hime this month either. I hope she won't pull a Ogino Jun / Miman.
I do like shiho.
>>4237850it's hard to tell if its just because of the production fuck up or not. Miman mentioned in the vol 12 extras how busy they got with all the supervision they had to do for everything post-anime announcement, and it seems like Sasakoi has been more projects/colabs. Maybe they'll post again when the stage play starts next month, at least that will have a proper ending.
>Yori-senpai's flat chest...
so when are they going to tell us the plan for episode 11 and 12?
>>4238042What makes you think there is a plan?
>>4238062unbounded optimism? but more seriously: contractual obligations.
>>4238042Episode 11 is Aki and Shiho getting together Episode 12 is 20 minutes of sex
>>4238088this is how they win Takeshima Eku back
>>4238036
>>4236566>>4236567>Light vs. darkPoetry
>>4238987Laureley's outfits kind of have funeral/mourning vibes too which is equality fitting.
>m*leGuess the anime retcon wasn't real after all.
>>4240003So she becomes gay because of her sister? What a dumb way to make her gay, author should make her gay from the beginning instead of making her straight character in yuri manga.
>>4240011If only there was some third option that would fit her more accurately...
>>4240011Aki turns everyone gay apparently. She's a real alpha dyke around everyone besides Yori.
>>4240003As long as that mf doesn’t show up in the story I’m fine with that. Hopefully this arc won’t take 3 or 4 volumes.
The m*le was right. Miki is annoying.
If Aki wasn't so dense and noticed Miki's affection for her, would she have found Miki annoying?
>>4238034She is still going to have fun sucking those nipples.
>>4240058Who says she doesn't?
>Miki was clingy and called too much>Aki calls Shiho right after they get together
>>4240094Shiho likes clingy
>>4240097She's going to seduce Miki and turn all Mizuguchi women into her harem.
>>4240094Truly the disaster sisters
>>4240011Is there any reason why most bl don’t have much female involvement in the story but why yuri have bunch of male in the story. Why can’t they just make everyone gay from the beginning.
>>4240130>but why yuri have bunch of maleProbably because your English is atrocious.
>you put one male/het couple into a yuri story and someone complains "bislut/hetslut/impure" blah blah blah>you make the entire world lesbian and someone else complains "it's not really meaningful if everyone in the world is female, you don't really have a choice"Can't appease everybody.
Kaori x Mari? Momoka x Hajime?
>>4240250>Kaori x Mari?They are bangin' for sure and might as well be a married couple already>Momoka x Hajime?They are, at the very least, in love with each other but too insecure to make it official because Momoka dated Kyou (who obviously died), who was Hajime's older sisterBut for either couple we're probably about 30 chapters/months away from seeing them explored in-depth because>all aboard the incest train
>>4240238I just find the particular combination in this manga really funny. Every girl is gay despite the school being co-ed and they never point it out as weird, there's a whopping one reference to a relationship being same-sex and it's Yori being rightfully worried about Himari becoming Laureley's manager since everyone is gay. Then there's one token straight girl who comes off as an endangered species, and now she also realizes she's gay without questioning it.
>>4240282You're right. It is kind of a compromise solution where a males and heterosexual relationships exist, albeit in the background, but the focus is so strongly on gay girls, and girls being gay is treated as the most normal thing in the world, that if you don't look closely, you could be fooled into thinking everyone in the world was lesbian.
>>4240282She was never straight. If she was she wouldn't have been happy about Ayaka's confession. Besides her previous relationship was in middleschool so it was probably just friends "dating". There was probably no sexual attraction to begin with.
>>4240003That was extremely disappointing.
>>4240003>deleting an actual page from the mangaWeird flex but okay
>>4240342>posting pics with malesRetarded trolling and not okay.
>>4240350>can't talk about series in its own threadNo wonder the discussion is so lively around here...
>>4240351No, you can't post males and talk about het couples. This is the yuri board, not the manga board, go back to /a/.
>>4240357Page never said male. How do you know it is?
>>4240011It seemed a lot more she was only in a relationship because she felt like it was expected of her as a High Schooler since everyone else was talking about their relationships. It's just the one who confessed to her was male
>>4240373>as a High SchoolerShe was in middle school at the time but I agree.
>>4240373This is just a pathetic cope.
>>4240385Cope for what? It's not like it matters, she's going to end up with Ayaka.
>Even if she's in the supporting position, she's a protagonist all the same.Aki protagonist status too hard to ignore, even the VA can see it.
>>4240417Nah shiho Is still the mc.
>>4240282I've always thought this was partly a hold over from the fact that the early chapters seems influenced, intentionally or not, by Bloom into You. A peach haired kohai attending a co-ed school is suddenly confessed too by a dark haired senpai, but she doesn't understand romantic love and accidentally gets embroiled in a love triangle along the way.
Shiho's par-time job should've been as a lesbian prostitute.>Fine, Himari-chan, I'll teach you how to pleasure Asanagi if you don't tell anyone that I work as an escort. But seriously, I'll kill you if you tell Mizuguchi.>Which Mizuguchi?>Either of them.
>>4240445It'd make more sense than having a job as a waitress, where it's much to get caught
>>4240357That's a pretty retarded interpretation of the rules. Rules aren't meant to be enforced so literally while ignoring all context and intention.
Personally i think you fucked up if you have cute unpaired girls in your yuri series who them suddenly become gay for their sister instead of someone else to create forced drama filler.
>>4240466>hetslut >cuteThe real fuck up is this shitty arc of literally the worst character instead of hajimomo or kaomari, I do like ayaka tho.
>>4240496Make it through this arc, and we should get Hajimomo next. Finish the series with Kaomari teaching everyone else how to have lesbian sex.
>>4240496They're getting through all the pairs for the timeskip ending. After this we really only have MomoHaji arc left. KaoMari are already established lets be real even everyone in universe knows they are a thing.
Everyone remembers and loves Shiho and Aki. That's all that matters.
MikiAki
are sisters and nothing more
>>4240904Keep telling yourself that, Shiho.
Shiho can join too

Congrats on winning yuri anime of the season!
Miki won
>>4243077>wanted Aki and Shiho to make up>they did exactly that (and more)She won alright...
>getting an episode 2 weeks in a rowTruly, we are blessed.
>>4243329Looks like the subs are being delayed again, though.
Any news about the final 2 episodes? Will they be BD exclusive? Will they even exist at all?
Shiho...
>skipped the fireworks festivalThe absolute madlads. There's no way Eku was okay with this, right?
>>4243948>misunderstandingIt isn't though? Aki did love Yori. Shiho understood Aki completely.
>>4243950Turns out all the YoriHima stuff is being made into voiced mangahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJBzxgqTPY0
>>4243950>>4243957Yori and Himari are side characters so they only get focus in side material.But in all seriousness, this is the greatest blunder I've ever witnessed in an adaptation, skipping THE biggest moment of the series.
>>4243957We're THRIVING
>>4213399https://x.com/sasakoi_anime/status/1807096696188620963I don't know if this was posted yet.
>>4243965>skipping THE biggest moment of the seriesBut the AkiShiho aquarium date wasn't skipped?
>>4243995They're not getting there either.
>>4244001They can if they ACCELERATE enough>skip the school festival minus the performances>skip them talking about their futures afterwards
>>4244012>final scene is Miki revealing her incestuous desires, drawn with stick figures
>romance anime>skip the romance>looks like utter shitThis is the biggest blunder since Urasekai. I feel sorry for you, Sasakoifags. You deserved better
We wasted too much time on YoriHima.
>>4244049I am left wondering why they decided to have halfway acceptable pacing for the first six episodes if they were just going to engage the boost for the second half no matter what had to be sacrificed.
>>4244060>first half: YoriHima>second half: AkiShihoMakes sense to me.
>>4244102This isn't Watayuri, one pair doesn't disappear off the face of the earth when the other gets focus. Or at least it didn't in the manga.
The thing with this manga is that the Shiho/Aki arc is so entangled with the story I would even say that it is comparable in importance to the YoriHima romance. And if they had ended the anime before the school festival and Aki and Shiho coming to terms again[/spoler] the anime ending wouldn't have been satisfactory at all.
At the very least I'm glad to have this voiced, it was peak sugar rushhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJBzxgqTPY0&t=1916
>>4244117Doesn't justify skipping all the romance, and ending up with a shit anime with shit visuals and less yuri than the subtext originalsShould've kept the yuri and be faithful to the manga and end inconcluisve/unsatisfactory like YagaKimi didOr are you going to say YagaKimi adapted wrong and should've rushed?
>>4243950>>4243957You have got to be fucking kidding me. This was the one scene I was waiting for. Whats even the plan for the last two episodes?
>>4244124Not good enough for me. They had an animation why would this be skipped over. Theres not a single good reason
>>4244166Rush to the school festival, reduce the scene with butler Yori at the cafe to a still image, skip Yori and Himari's festival date and kiss, get both the SS Girls' and Laureley's new songs in (with shitty 3DCG) because that's the one thing this production is interested in pushing to the cost of even the yuri, end on the bonfire where Shiho kisses Aki on the cheek but they're not dating yet. Enjoy!
>>4244185Because HimaYori boring. AkiShiho more interesting. AkiShiho deserve all the screentime. HimaYori deserve none. Or so would the people defending the anime claim
I'm so fucking mad. This season started so well with all the promising shows and in the end not only we got back to SasaKoi only with its shitty animation, but they also removed what we wanted to see.I remember all the posts saying how disappointing is that even maintext shows won't reach the good parts when animated in one cour and others replied SasaKoi will be good because it will have dating and kiss even within a single season and here we are. I can't believe they won't show a lesbian kiss even in a series about girls dating, what the fuck is their problem? I hate they way anime are made so fucking much. Limited to one cour, no ending or resolution, bad art, bad animation, bad direction, no yuri merch, waifufags pandering. I'm so fucking tired of this shit.The voice comic feels like an insult. They perfectly know we wanted to see the kiss animated and they left it out. How the hell could Yuri Hime allow it? What even is the point of making an anime?This season has been a disappointment after the other. Now I'm reevaluating TenTen that had the guts to show the kiss.
>>4244232This feels like meddling at this point. Is it a GWITCH scenario where the higher ups dont want explicit kissing or something and sabotaged the production? or in GWITCH's case, attempted to sabotage the ending result.
>>4244232>>4244237It's just typical rushing because the end point they want to reach is too late in the mangaOr the music people pushed to cover more band scenes to shill their discs
Two nukes wasn't enough
>all the japanese comments thanking them for making the voice comicThis is ridiculous. They should be livid. This is why they keep doing this shit, because they won't ever be called out. I hope the chinese will do their job.
>>4244245>music people pushed to cover more band scenes to shill their discshonestly that's my bet as the stage play has also only really been promoting their version by hyping the live music parts. It sucks it has turned out this way but I won't lie, it's a little funny that if/when we get the finale there a chance that the only kiss they animate is the Aki/Shiho one.
>>4244232Most of what you mention are inherent problems with anime, we're just getting more yuri adaptations/promising originals so you noticed it more, well-produced shows with a satisfying conclusion are SSR>What even is the point of making an anime?To advertise the manga
>>4244263Honestly? having the date, kiss and sleepover voiced and available for free was *way* more than I expected after such a clusterfuck of a production, it's more of "hey, at least you tried, thanks"
>>4244263It really is true how all humans are either wolves or sheep.
>>4244292Did they try? Voice comics are stuff that gets made even for shows without anime.
>>4244296Sure, but in the context of a production exploding it really doesn't happen, Madchen Marchen got completely butchered and they couldn't even bothered to do that
>>4244232>what we wanted to see>weYOU. Personally I'm happy with getting more AkiShiho shown. If the anime ended without their relationship being resolved it would be worse imo.
>>4244320Hima and Yori getting over their first relationship woes and kissing is important to the story and really should not have been skipped over.
>>4244320Is YagaKimi a bad adaptation for deciding to stick to skipping nothing or almost nothing and leaving stuff like the play unresolved?Should YagaKimi have rushed?
>>4244326YagaKimi is Yuu and Touko's storySasakoi is Aki's story
>>4244327well she is a protagonist after all >>4240417
>>4243950What the fuck? That was like, the peak of the manga. My desire to catch up on the anime has completely plummeted.
Why all the doomposting about missing scenes when there's still two more episodes to go? It's not unheard of for adaptations to move important momentsto the final episode for the sake of having a climatic ending.
>>4244386This makes a lot of sense for Sasakoi, after all we know that they want to deliver a decent show and they know that they were incapable to do a good adaptation of the kiss in episoded 9 or 10 because they didn't have the time to do it, now they have the time to do it in episode 11 or 12 because they were delayed.
>>4244386Because they made a voice comic with those scenes instead?
>>4240466Have you been speed reading? Miki's always been gushing over her beloved onee-chan since chapter 1.
I feel sorry for Eku, she didn't deserve this shit.
At least YoriHima got the voice comic. KaoMari don't get squat and that arguably stings just as much.
>>4244131>ending up with a shit anime with shit visuals and less yuri than the subtext originalsThe first six episodes of this anime have better yuri payoff than all the shitty subtext shows this board likes to shill every season combined.Every ongoing manga has good stopping points for the end of an anime adaptation that is surely not getting a second season. The first one was after Hima tells Yori her feelings after the concert and the second one is the one this anime is going for. Not ending the AkiShiho arc would have been a mistake. The anime just needs to be consistent within itself, and having some scenes from the manga not appear in order to give space for an overall more complete conclusion does not necessarily mean the anime is "rushed". Adapting the manga chapters one by one and then just ending whenever you run out of episodes is positively not the best way to adapt a work to another media format.
>>4244601Keep telling yourself they're just doing things out of order and not skipping them entirely despite them having already released the skipped content in an alternate form as an apology.
>>4244606I haven't said that, though. It's a shame they had to skip the fireworks scene but giving a good conclusion to two of the couples of Sasakoi is definitely a good decision. Episode 12 will probably dedicate some time to Yori and Himari, just not the fireworks scene, obviously.
>>4244601The first six episodes, yes. And then it backpedals and the rushjob means the Sasakoi anime takes no advantage of being maintext romance to do shit subtext can't doKisses, explicitly romantic dates, sleeping together? Skipped. And Shiho and Aki won't get together in the anime, so they're no different from other subtext couples where only one of the girls has explicit feelingsAgain, is YagaKimi not being finished as an anime bad? Should it have skipped and changed the order of things like Sasakoi is doing?
>>4244621It starts to feel like a deliberate sabotage.
>>4244621>sleeping together? SkippedSo you know nothing of the series. No one has slept together at all yet.
>>4244762Yori and Hima most certainly have slept together but not in the sex way (as much as Himari wants it but cant admit it)
They will bang, right?Momoka will get the sister of her dead girlfriend
>>4244906Yeah. I mean Kyou was always more interested in Shiho anyway at least Hajime loves Momoka the most.
>>4244906Hajime feel sympathy for Momoka because she also wanted to fuck Kyou.Miki and Hajime are end game bonding over their incestious feelings.
Imagine if Hajime was responsible for Kyou's accident just so she could get into Momoka's pants.
I want to ask: is anyone still watching the anime?Will you watch the final 2 episodes even if you have to wait months?. What do you even enjoy about the anime? Why not stick to the manga?
>>4245046I'll wait however long it takes. It's just neat to hear the scenes with voices. The manga is there and I'm caught up on it, but I still enjoy the anime.
>>4245046>What do you even enjoy about the anime?Shiho.
>>4245046the anime is enjoyable in its own right
>>4245046Why not enjoy both?
>>4245046Even if its not great, I still enjoy seeing my favorite scenes animated and voiced. Which is why im pretty disappointed by the ones they chose to skip.
>>4245038And miss out on a threesome with her sister? Now fucking way.
>>4244289>To advertise the mangaBut the Sasakoi anime is not even good ad. It's an embarrassing dumpster fire. How the fuck is it supposed to boost the manga sale?
>>4245234They were going to fuck in front of Kyou's grave but Shiho was there unfortunately.
Dead girls always make any yuri work better.
>>4245237The publisher did not know they were signing a bunch of incompetents to make their anime for them. This is a tough situation for manga artists because you want the anime in order to have a breakout hit, but then you risk running into Kuma Miko situation where your reputation gets ruined by the animators. There are, in fact, many manga that have been axed within a year or two of getting a anime because the anime was badly made and killed sales instead.
>>4245658So did the anime ruin Eku? What have the japanese said? Manga still seems popular enough here despite the anime so must not be that bad.
>>4245703 >he doesn't know
Do you actually think we're getting 11 and 12?
>>4245868It's already been confirmed. Pretty sure they are under contract for 12 episodes so it would be bad if they didn't make them.
Do Aki and Shiho ever fuck in front of Kyou's grave?
>>4245938Every weekend.
>>4245870Yes they are under contract to make the episodes. But none of the distributors are under contract to SHOW them now that they missed the originally contracted time slots.
>>4246041Having wrote that, I have to admit that this happens enough that there was most likely a insurance clause in the contract that specified when missed deadline episodes would be aired. But its also possible to be so far off that being delivered for even those time slots could be a probelm.
>>4246042They probably force the studio to pay for the new timeslots. That or just make it BD exclusive I guess.
>>4246102I don't think that's legal. It's the production comittee who pays for the timeslots, never the studio. The only times I've heard of TV episodes becoming BD-only were Bakemonogatari (missed deadlines) and Kokoro Connect (most likely as incentive to buy them after the enormous backlash towards the hazing incident). Neither of these examples are recent, so I doubt it will happen, the last two episodes will probably air in September).
Why isn't there a song about one sided love yet?
>>4246206Because Miki isn't a singer.
>>4246234But Ayaka loves Miki back?
>>4246206Because Shiho won.
>>4246206Didn't Kaori suggest that before and didn't Aki and Yori ignore that suggestion?
>>4246206Because miki a shit.
Please stop saying mean things about Aki's little sister.
>>4246206Because you couldn't wait one more week for the rest of the songs to be released
>>4245658Sasakoi did place in that yuri poll last week, so things aren't *entirely* hopeless...yet.
>>4245960Do they coordinate with Momoka and Hajime for this?
>>4245817Know? Know what?
