So surely one of these pairs ended up together.
>>4269016Why do precure and idolmaster hate yuri so much?
>>4269014I miss the Uma threads.
>>4269152What is HaruChiha?
>>4269424There should be one soon now that the game will be in English.
Midway. What did you drop /u/?
>>4269921Bro I totally forgot the summer season even started I just been reading mango
>>4269921I don't watch yuri anime anymore. Manga's are generally way more digestible than their anime counterparts.
>>4269921I dropped your broke ass.
>>4269921I dropped everything. Deer is unfunny. Cheer is unwatchable. Vtuber is glorified digital brainrot. What else is there other than isekai galore and harem shit?
>>4269921Bombs on one of them carriers.
>>4270057Mayonaka Punch
How are we feeling about the arcane leaks? It kinda ruined caitvi for me.
>>4270057Dungeon People
>>4269921Dropped deer friend as im not a big fan of the skit style comedy where the characters dont really develop and are just one-note gags. feels like a 4-koma manga, was surprised when i found out it wasntnarenare is good, although i didnt like the conclusion of the last episode. felt like they got bored of the premise and rushed it to move on to the next arcdropped vtuber legend because whenever they cut to the streams, im reminded of why i despise irl vtubers. despite being fictional vtubers, it still has an air of business yuri to itdungeon people is on hold, im not convinced its even subtext-yuri but i will wait till it ends and decide whether or not to continue it based on peoples opinions Really like mayonaka. It also has the shitty streamer schtick as vtuber and narenare, but feels more cynical about it. i like the characters, and the Fu episode was the best episode of this anime season (so far). It also feels the closest to going full yuri, with narenare right behind>>4270165>western >LOLdont care. not watching
>>4270057I'm liking Narenare and Dungeon People, they give wholesome subtext vibes despite not being super blatant about it, though I was expecting more from the last episode of the former.I agree that deer and vtuber have grown old quickly though, and Mayonaka just never made me feel anything from the start.
What yuri media cheers you up when you're down? Games, manga, or anything else. I'd like to hear about it
>>4270290I prefer to meditate when I'm down, but if I had to choose probably Madoka.
vtuber is the only good one, sorry if actual humour filters you.
to be fair, you have to have a very high iq to understand the comedy of deer friend
>>4270329Plebes don't understand that it's a modern take on Kafka.
>>4270312To know that fictional lesbians are suffering so much more than you?
>>4270405Nah. To laugh at the idiots bitching so much about a soul being put in a ring.
>>4270290I like reading random happy yuri oneshots I haven't seen before over things which I already know. Usually works better to hold my attention since I won't know what to anticipate. Through that process I usually find an author I want to look into and if they have any completed series I'll start that next.
>>4270290The confession at the end of Fragtime.
>>4270290I like farm games where I can have a wife and just exist in society with my wife.
I like farm games where the girl you are playing can seduce the wife of other players and cheat on them.
I like farm games where the girl you are playing can burn her farm down and seduce the wife of the insurance investigator.
>>4270466We really do need a competitive netorare yuri game. Would be kinogoated with the sauce.
>>4270290Machikado Mazoku is my happy place. Just a glance at a couple panels of Shamiko lusting after Momo's abs and all is right with the world.
Who is the lesbianest lebian of all time?
>>4270486(You)
>>4270486What a stupid question.
I like city games where a farm girl moves from flyover country to the big city and gets caught up in the inexorable hustle and finds relief and comfort in the arms and tongue of an intense yet aloof city girl.
>>4270290I just like to look at cute fanart, or read cute fanfics right before going to sleep.
What changed in the yuri community since 10 years ago>rise of gacha games>rise of vtubers>increase in popular yuri ships in non-yuri anime like Sulemio, Farcille, Bokita, Chisataki>rise of indie western yuri VNsWhat didn’t change>the state of yuri anime is still terrible>yuri JP VNs haven’t grown
>>4270500>>increase in popular yuri ships in non-yuri anime like Sulemio, Farcille, Bokita, ChisatakiBecuase this was never the case before?
>>4270500Okay? Thanks for the analysis?
>>4270500VNs are a dead market, so there is no reason for yuri to grown there, anything else... it seems we traded off a gigantic LL community for several big ones, though I am sure it's far bigger in numbers nowadays.
>>4270508sad to see your fav love live artists jump to random chink gacha games I do not care about
>>4270505Outside of Madoka, I don’t think any yuri ships in anime from the 00s or early 10s had any consistent output in discussion, fanart or fanfics. Nana only started getting yuri art recently.
>>4270512NanoFate, ShizNat, KonaKaga, and KonoSetsu all beg to differ.
kanazuki no miko, nanoha and mai hime aired in the same year
>>4270513>KonoSetsuI still don't know what happened to them in the sequel but I'm also afraid to know because>male MC has Konoka's surname>Konoka's grandchildren that look exactly like KonoSetsu call the male MC brother>new "lesbian" ended up in the male MC's harem
>drawn a massage>make they react like having sexlolsauce is Haruka Reset
>>4270520KonoSetsu ended having a daughter born from their own mixed genes in sequel who has 2 daughters who look exactly like young Konoka and Setsuna but are real sisters, at least they aren't into male MC of the sequel.
>>4270529It's the first time I've heard about their daughter, I've only ever heard about their grandchildren. But I've never heard anything about their relationship in the sequel and how the grandchildren have born and why the male MC seems to be related to Konoka.
>>4270536Happens to all of us.
>>4270534KonoSetsu daughter artifically created male MC combining Negi and Asuka genes pool, that's why her daughters treat him like brother.I don't recall if even grandmas Konoka and Setsuna show in sequel at all.
>>4270549So you didn't read it either. I find no source at all for this daughter you talk about. KonoSetsu definitely appeared in it because I saw some pages with them together with other old characters from the original series. The most worrying one is the one that looks like Konoka gave birth to the male MC.
>>4270556>So you didn't read it eitherTo be fair it's complete dogshit, especially coming after Negima.
>>4270557I don't disagree with that considering what the subhuman author did to the "lesbian" at the end of it but I still want to know if KonoSetsu were safe from his retardation. It's so weird I can't find any info about them, only people making theories and guessing. It reminds me of the ending of Mikagura gakuen that nobody knows for sure what happened.
>>4270556Just check Wiki than spouting nonsense.
What are anons' predictions for the upcoming issue of Yuri Hime?For KyouKano, I think Fuuko will start dating Yuni in secret, while allowing Yuni to keep dating Nanase. Of course, Yuni's relationship will Nanase will continue to fall apart due to incompatability. Plus, I think Nanase's day out with Yuki might've accidentally served as a trigger for Nanase to start to think of Yuki in a romantic light, even though Nanase hasn't acknowledged this yet.For ZenKowa, I think there could be a small skirmish with Kudou and Kurumi, but then Azuma walks by, sees them and steps in. I think Azuma will break down and confess Isanuma's, Mine's, and the teacher's actions to Kurumi and the others. Then I think the four of them will form a team (since Kurumi being ineffectual by herself was highlighted last chapter by Naoi). Azuma will get details from Isanuma about the date with the teacher. Then the others record it. Then they call the Isanuma and the others to the school to confront them with the evidence, forcing the teacher and Mine to drop their facades and causing Isanuma to breakdown.
>>4270560Becuase it wasn't stated directly in it.We know Konoka and Setsuna married same year while bridal carried each other. We know negi didn't marry them. Then we know that grandma Konoka and Setsuna exist in that sequel story as mentioned in name where they show at the end basically young again cause they got some immortality or forever young dose, we also learn earlier that Konoka daughter and her husband created MC from Asuna and Negi genes poll like they tried with 71 clones before and that both were killed off and that they had twin daughters who resemble Konoka and Setsuna too.Author specially doesn't specify it directly one way or another cause he is a coward.
>>4270562I checked a lot of different sites including the wiki and none of them answers what I'm interested in. Like I said, I can only find people trying to guess what happened despite the series being already over so I'm starting to think that the author simply didn't explain shit.
>>4270567>Konoka daughter and her husband created MC from Asuna and Negi genes
>>4270566I think the engdame for ZenKowa is Kurumi starting some anti-bullying campaign when the second semester starts. She'll become more liked by some students for being more real, but also royally hated by others for ruining their fun and not letting the student council slack off anymore.
>>4270569The only person who can answer your question is author himself cause no one can have any kind of knowledge about the issue.You also get epilogue chapter where everyone fro mthe class is young again and lived on some planet and we see all of the cast having kids again, so we don't really know if author decided to make every girl be impregnated by Negi or Fate or knowing how advanced science is there anyone got kid with whoever they wanted there seeing how male MC was created anyway. You don't get any direct answer in the ending in one way or another which is intentional, the only crumb you get from author confirimg KonoSetsu is grandaughters confirming they had 2 grandmas in one page scene than grandpa x grandma scenario.
>>4270566I doubt KyouKano will go back to the status quo of Yuni cheating on Nanase.Probably some crazy shit will happen.
>>4270577I think it's possible it does but it will fall apart in a single chapter because I don't think Fuuko wants to be number 2 again. The question is if Nanase will just realize this isn't working or if she eon't go down without a fight.
>>4270581Or as a twist Nanase starts cheating on Yuni with Yuki.
>>4270566Plot twist: Azuma was part of Kurumi's elementary school friend group.
>>4270584It doesn't matter though.
I'm interested in Kouhei Shibata's one-shot in the next Yuri Hime. Really like their art.
I'm wondering if the UsoNatsu prequel would be worth reading. The visual novel makes it clear the relationship depicted in it is doomed to fail.
I want to get better at writing yuri smut, could someone tell me some examples of it done really well?
Can someone explain the hate Amayo no Tsuki is getting on the raw thread?I'm genuinely confused, I tried asking there and got no answer.
>>4270612>Look at the raw thread>No hate whatsoever>Just someone saying now the story will take a thousand chapters for Kanon to realize she loves Saki>Meanwhile the author keeps bringing up Saki older crush and how she is into older girls/women and people are saying she belongs to old women
>>4270612you must be new. that amayo doomer has been there since forever ago
>>4270620Saki belongs to Kanon's mom.
>>4270623Saki belongs to many older women, worse case scenario she always has the haircut doomer.
>>4270612There's the older women meme cult, and a doomer who hate read doing the least charitable take whenever a new chapter drops. You need to separate the two.
So what's the deal with Black Rock Shooter?Is the franchise still yuri? Was that last anime shit? I never see anyone on /u/ even acknowledge it except for like one thread.I recently found out it had some kind of RPG game that was shut down and I only learned of it because Youtube suggested a video of it's OST randomly.What's going on??Is it even worth caring?
>>4270637There was explicit yuri in the last version of it.
did they just call all non-romance yuri fake yuri in the watamari2 promo art
>>4270637Monica belonged in a better show.
>>4270638>>4270640Is it worth watching? Like I said, I never see anyone mention it so is it just shit even if it does have yuri or something?
>>4270642Monica has a girlfriend in the show during a flashback that lasts like five seconds. It's total shit with a nonsensical plot and terrible action. Dead Master was cool though.
>>4270643Dang, that's a shame.Though thinking about it, BRS is kinda shit in general. The OVA is cool but doesn't explain anything, the original anime is cool but also doesn't make much sense when you stop to analyze things and the PSP game is shit and the only thing I liked about it was the part where the guy got fucking vaporized after talking about how he felt invincible, I laughed super hard when that happened. Didn't even finish the game though, it was too boring.
We need more art of Kurumi dressed as a nun slowly falling into temptation.
I'm interested in the green lesbians I keep getting them shilled to me
>>4270648Well hop to it. It's just like 50 chapters.
>>4270648>green lesbiansNot enough alien yuri.
>>4270644>The OVA is cool but doesn't explain anythingAnd it was all the better for that.
i keep finding out yuri manga i enjoy are written by mangaka in het relationships that now only make het manga.
>>4270639Based
>lesbian tells her crush that the girl she likes is straight so that she loses interestWhat would you call this technique?
>>4270747Galaxy brain
>>4270747Did she know for sure that the crush is straight
>>4270749No, she thought that her crush would date her if she worked up to courage to ask.
>>4270639nice wordplay non-romance=tragedy=fake
>>4270747Lying.
>>4270508>>4270510I'm grateful that at least some LL artists went the pro mangaka route instead of pivoting to chink gacha games
>>4270642MC is too autistic to have any reception to the girls liking her, so nothing really happens on that front. The small snippet of yuri with the side character mentioned by others had one good kiss scene but that's about it.
I heard Konohana Kitan got gay again. I really wish someone could upload the licensed volumes...
>>4270768Is the anime worth watching? I don't know anything about the series
How do you feel about anime adaptations making changes to a manga/LN?Such as Adachi being the one to find shimamura in the gym instead of the other way around, Tilty comforting Anishphia instead of a civilian, or Akebi-chans adaptation rearranging scenes around so as to not have a better ending point
>>4270768>manga gets licensed >company either releases them slow as hell or just sits on the license hate this. pandora in the crimson shell is releasing at a snails pace, and series like uzamaid had one volume then they just sat on it for years. thankfully someone starting picking it back up for scans recently
GBC VAs interview aren't half as interesting as the writer's interview, the usual questions and usual answers that every VA is told to give in every interview. Now we know that not only are anime characters like family according to the writer, but all the members of the actual band are also like family according to themselves. Nina's VA, probably from nervousness, got confused with the instructions given to her and blurted out something like "more than family, more than friends". That's kawaii. Probably.
>>4270786>more than family, more than friendsim taking this at face value until proven otherwise as admission of love
>>4270768When was it ever not gay? Two of the six main characters are dating from the start, two others are in love with each other and the last two are obviously going that direction soon after they first meet.
>>4270747The Yaya uprising has begun.
>>4270747machiavellian yaya...
>incel protag>but it's a girl!!!!Why the fuck does this keep happening. Deranged male fetishes should not be forced into yuri.
>>4270828Why not?
>>4270828Female idol worshiping mindset is not even that unknown, you always have girls showing up in seyuushit and idolshit events.
>>4270828I'd say she's an incel as a byproduct of being completely insane, not because she's just a loser.
>>4270772Go watch it right now.
>>4270786Rina's still a kid, she's just pining in the big city away from her mommy.
>>4270880Are Subaru and Tomo still dying?
>>4270828>female incels don't exist
>>4270786I'd take the VAs interviews about themselves as separate from the anime characters. If the anime needs to be tied to the real people, then it will never be yuri
>>4270165Let me guess. One of them sleeps with a guy?
>>4270926No. Drama, angst and cheating.[\spoiler]
>>4270915>If the anime needs to be tied to the real peopleIt's not.
>>4270936meds
>>4270794If there's not sex every chapter then it's not yuri
>>4270929But the sleeping is still there. Meh.
>>4270828I really tried to read this but it was really too much, everyone just happen to know the other girl is not the real girl in seconds, those girls could find Light as Kira faster than L.
>>4270965It's not a serious manga, everyone is unhinged.
https://x.com/sakuragi_ren/status/1822611575196578086I choose to believe Sakuragi Ren is hinting at an Anemone anime and refuse to believe otherwise.
>>4270969Kirara's editorial department gave the okay for a forty-page sex chapter.
>>4270930Then any comments the seiyuus do about their real band are irrelevant to the anime
>>4270871I saw the het tag on anilist, so I've been hesitant to start it.
>>4270969Aaaaaah the anemone pachinko we all have been wishing for

>>4270982>no Watayuri

Why?
>>4270992>gross*hotFTFY
>>4271006Why not?
>>4271006Doesn't Shuwa-chan like the JK the most?
>>4271006>>4271014Wait a second, I thought this was just a goofy vtuber show. Why's it getting into weirdo fetishes?
>>4271019>show for otaku gets into weirdo fetishesnothing unusual
>>4271019So it's exactly like every vtuber you are saying
>>4270981Something about the humidity, probably they were talking about the weather. Nothing brings people close to each other like talking about the weather.
>>4271054What's the correct translation for this?
I actually wish we could gaslight some subtext authors no one understands what they are trying to say and then they are forced to make it more gayer and gayer.
>>4271077Boring let's find out where manga editors live, break into their cars and shit in their air filter until they promise to make more yuri manga, and existing manga more yuri
>>4271004
>>4270993>>4270998>>4271001>hetshitters in denialThen, you will post unironically about how a gilr talking to any man is proof she wants his babies. Stop hating yuri if you want to belong here
>>4271087Might be for some episodic shit I don't remember. But the main cast are all gay. Isn't this the author that had to seek another magazine or something because editors didn't let her go as gay as she wanted?
>>4271088in case you were not awareyou are severly autistic
>>4271087https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciL7OKWSu10
>>4271087Somebody probably thought the reverse trap was a guy.
>>4271092At least I don't hate and deny yuri in a yuri boardAt least I don't come to a yuri board to push my delusional het crackships as canon
>>4271077Twist: subtext authors aren't trying to say anything, they just like it when cute girls are cute together and they have no fucking idea that a dozen anons with high standards are experiencing immeasurably huge disappointment because something wasn't ''delivered'' to them.
>>4271095Wasn't the reverse trap from Urara?
>>4271077That's how you get kiss in Jelly and confession in GBC and people bitching about regression/backpedalling when subtext gets gayer but still stays subtextAnd then people argue, that they don't hate subtext but it should stay in it's lane and not be "so gay". They argue there's a limit to how gay subtext can be. We get something that stays in said lane and people still bitchIt's then clear this is all subtext haters being dishonest, and that no one hating on Jelly or GBC because "not yuri enough" or "backpedaling" never had any point
>>4271103But I'm liking the subtext in Narenare and Dungeon People, while I hated the backpedaling in Jelly and GBC.
>>4271115Yet >>4270993>>4270998>>4271001This is what happens when subtext "stays in it's lane". Retards will bitch anyways. And if >>4271077 got their wish, you'd just see more "backpedalling", because apparently when subtext is too gay but still subtext, it's "backpedalling" and bad,. So subtext can't be too gay, actually. Asking for gayer subtext (which will still be subtext) is asking for "backpedalling"
>>4271119Guess those anons simply don't like subtext?I can understand them being disappointed if they get baited by some maintext scene but then there's no maintext resolution, but I don't think the Narenare scene can be reasonably compared to Jelly and GBC, there's nothing undeniably romantic about it, just typical undertones.
>>4271087>hetSometimes there are straight couples or characters who used to be in a straight relationship as guests at the inn the cast where the cast works. None of the regular cast is ever involved in it.>crossdressingOne of the main girls is a tomboy who dresses like a guy, she's in the typical Haruka/Michiru relationship with another main girl.>>4271091The manga started on Yuri Hime S, the magazine closed and the series had to switch publishers. The new publisher initially asked the author to add a male protagonist but she refused and they relented.
>>4271081Unfortunately only chinks do this and it works
>>4271088Oh you poor anon, it's obvious it's yuri, but it's so shitty no ones gives a shit anymore, when it's all stick and no carrot guess what people get tired of it, they stop chasing the carrot.
>>4271122>>4271119Theres subtext in good faith and subtext in bad faith.Learn the difference.
>>4271097I'm sure there are cases where they don't, the same way I also sure there were cases where they were trying to imply something and no one got it, because this is how language works at it's core.
>>4271124>and they relentedNo, she told them to go fuck themselves and then found another less obnoxious avenue for the continuation.However, as based as that was, she has yet to confirm any couple after 15+ volumes; the original Konohanatei Kitan actually had more explicit yuri during its short run, so I suspect she is still being somewhat restrained due to not publishing on a yuri magazine anymore.
>>4271097>>4271134Sometimes that's obviously the case, like the unintended yuri vibes in the first Nanoha season, but especially with modern blatant cases I'm pretty sure they know exactly what they're doing, strong homoerotic vibes hardly happen by accident.
>>4271137>unintended
>>4271129>huuuuur shit>huuur carrot nonsenseStopthe excuses, yuri hater
>>4271131The only difference is wether you like itGBC, Jelly, NareNare? All good subtext. All good faith. Backpedaling “mug maintext scene not deliver”? All excuses by yuri hatwra so they can demy yuri
>>4271137I think they understand what they are doing but understimate how the audience nowadays is going to react to how it plays out.
>>4271144>>4271147I think you are having a stroke anon.
>>4271138Nanoha was obviously meant to be het in the beginning, yuri subtext anime was hardly a thing at the time.The series spinned off from a het VN and those sukebe scenes with the ferret were a dead giveaway, and even the other boy was teased to be into Nanoha more than once.However NanoFate took off and the staff rode the wave, which is why the boys progressively faded into irrelevance with subsequent seasons.
>>4271137so explain what was going on through eupho's author mind
Anything gayer than Nare Nare gets labeled backpedaling baitAnd anything on the level of NareNarw gets labeled shit and not enoughJust admit you hate subtext instead of using bullshit excuses and pretending it’s not subtext hate
>>4271150Because I’m exposing how nonsense these excuses are?
>>4271153Just read anything she ever said, she is just writtig romantized friendship because it's more interesting, but she draws the line with actual romance, the issue is that the anime removed most scenes with generic male love interest.
>>4271156So you did have a stroke.
>>4271153What's there to explain? It was either intentional yuri bait that worked perfectly, or just the author being one of those nips who still believe in Class S, girls experimenting romance with each other that doesn't really count in preparation for when they find their true love: a man.
You're just getting baited, these original anime dont want to be subtext, they are forced to be.
I wonder what would have been the shitstorm if kira kira study got an anime and the mockery it would have become because of the ending
>>4271162You are sounding like a certain anon who said vampeerz author was forced to add yuri.
>>4271163I liked the ending though, I'm always surprised when that gets brought up as a negative example.
>>4271137Of course they know exactly what they're doing. They make cute girls who are cute together even more cute together, and "homoerotic vibes" are quite helpful in this endeavor. Formalization of the status of relationships in this endeavor is not helpful at all, it only helps the bearers of high standards to erase the check mark in the "subtext" box and happily put it in the "maintext" box.
>>4271162The Narenare writer is a known yurifag, and literally said she was going to do her utmost to bring the yuri.
>>4271147NTA but GBC was a little miracle, not only the yuri but the quality of the anime in general, that worked because someone fixed Hanada's shit: Jelly was cryptoidolshit so a finale like that was expected and now Narenare has some bad things like episode 5 with its deus ex machina resolution, making the entire Anna/Nodoka arc a excuse to promote their latin/Jpop fusion song, so it's not surprising that Yuniko isn't promoting another MV collection just after the Sasakoi fiasco, even then I have faith in Narenare btw.
Nanare is just the new Gundam. People will swear it isn't yuri until the end confirms it.
>>4271167You like the ending of the series that starts with MC saying she wants to be always together with her "girlfriend" who she even calls her wife and her dream is to go to the same university as her and so they promise to study to go to the same university which in the meantime they almost kiss several times, just so MC randomly decided in the last chapters she actually wants to be an astronaut (one of the hardest things ever which most people can't even do because of simple physical limitations), break her promise and instead of being together with her leaving to stay 1 year outside of the planet?
>>4271169>is not helpful at allIt definitely isn't in terms of sales projections, since it would likely lose them a sizeable part of the audience.However, it would definitely be helpful in avoiding shit writing, like having a climactic love confession that is then never addressed for 5 episodes in a row.
>>4271163Just our equivalent of the current Boku no Hero Academia shitstorm but with less NTR jokes.
>>4271177I swear to you MC is coming back from space and the first thing she is going to hear is>We need to talk
>>4271159Thaks for admitting you people just hate all subtext
>>4271153She unconsciously self-inserted into Kumiko because she still desired the pussy of her own Reina.
>>4271175>her leaving to stay 1 year outside of the planetAnd then romantically promised to stay together forever immediately after said year? I don't see the problem, she fulfills her dream and then goes back to her promised girlfriend, definitely better than, say, the Revue Starlight movie ending with each girl leaving indefinitely to pursue their ambitions.Maybe I would've been dejected if it was a yuri hime manga since I would've expected to actually see the romantic resolution on screen, but with it being just a CGDCT comedy, I actually got more than I'd have wagered.
>>4271176Another anti-yuri excuse: "shit writing"Hilarious you use as example the show other "objective wrting" retards swore had "objective great writing" as evidence is "objectively stands above jelly"
>>4271179I like plenty of subtext works, you won't see me complaining about Gochiusa, but Gochiusa is not cutting to Chino is going to say something important to Cocoa and not showing it.
>>4271183>stands above jellyI'm not those anons, but to be fair, that's a pretty low bar to clear.
>>4271181Which was never show to us... the premise of the series was to show them together, not to show them making another promise and separating. Most CGDCT comedies don't have the MCs almost kissing in wedding dresses.
>>4270929Might as well share the whole gossip. Who cheats on who and with who? Is it Caitlyn and that woman she met at the brothel?
glad we're getting all the shitposting out of the way tonight so we'll have a clean slate to discuss mayonaka punch's new episode tomorrow
>>4271124Good to know, thanks. Reckon I'll check out the anime then
>>4271189>Which was never show to usI already addressed that.>Most CGDCT comedies don't have the MCs almost kissing in wedding dresses.So, isn't it a good thing that this one did? It made the ending feel more definitively romantic.I think you got a bit overhyped and expected it to have the conclusion of a yuri romance manga.
>>4271189>>4271196but cute girls comedies have sex friends now?
>>4271193but no one cares about that
>>4271199When I say CGDCT, I think of stuff like Kiniro Mosaic or Gochiusa.
>>4271191In short, Cait and Vi finally kiss then Cait tries to kill Jinx, Vi stops her, Cait dumps Vi hard, fast forward Cait is now fucking some rookie from her force while Vi became emo. End of the leaks. Supposedly we're having a sex scene between Cait and Vi in ep 8. Or maybe not.
>>4271203whats the difference, same magazine, so same target audience
>>4271185Just admit you hate all subtext instead of going to every new subtext anime pointing at some rando scene and going "this is the problem"Dishonest retardThe kiss, confession, now even showing nothing so there's no problem with "backpedaling" is a problem. Kill yourself. If they showed, you'd still claim it's "not enough" or "backpedaling"
>>4271205Of course, and Yuru Yuri should have as many sex scenes as Asumi-chan since they're in the same magazine.
>>4271205If that's your standard, then you should chastise 99% of CGDCT, there's hardly a reason to single out this one, which actually did better than most yuri wise.
>>4271208yuri himes target audience is "yuri fans" it's always been wide
>>4271186Bold statement. In Yoroukura, three-fifths of the supposedly main characters don't seem to be like walking talking props. That's already a big advantage.
>beforesubtext should be gayer>nowShit writing! boring! somesomething carrots! bait! backpeadlling! subtext should be less gay. You people are insane
>>4271214People just don't like to get baited, anon.
>>4271214>beforeyuribait is bad>nowyuribait is good actually, i love sucking corpo cocks
>>4271196Well yes anon, when you tease girls kissing, you expect to see girls kissing.
>>4271220>you expect to see girls kissingI definitely don't expect that in CGDCT, no matter the amount of teasing, just what do you think is the ratio of the ones with kisses vs. the ones without?
>>4271204Thanks, nee-sama. I'll prepare the popcorn for when Arcane airs. The double drama in the actual series + fandom will be interesting
>>4271215>>4271216The problem is people go "I don't hate subtext ackshually" like >>4271185. If they were like you and at least admitted they hate subtext and see it as bait, it'd be better than this dishonesty where people go "I don't hate subtext, but I'm gonna contrive a reason to hate this new subtext show (writing, backpedaling, boring, whatever) and act like it's somehow super different and worse than previous subtexts". I'd like some honesty.
>>4271227subtext and bait are not the same
>>4271227>like you and at least admitted they hate subtext and see it as baitYou misunderstand, I do like subtext and don't consider it bait; it's when they have maintext scenes but then don't commit to it that it's bait.However, I don't think Narenare is baiting as of now, as I've said before.
>>4271229Of course. One of these at least actually exist.
>>4271230See? You're in the camp "subtext should be less gay" after people even now demand gayer subtext. It's insane. Because subtext can't get any gayer without turning into "maintext they don't commit to", so now people hate modern subtext because too gay. But also NareNare not showing anything and staying in it's lane like the "bakcpedalling" faction wanted is "boring" "should show more". It's nonsensical, because doing more runs into the risk of "this is maintext they're not committing to". By not showing they ensure they don't run into that and stay in subtext lane
>>4271229Explain the difference. Do you think old subtext was fine or that it should be gayer? Do you think modern subtext with kisses and confession is good or that it's bait and should be less gay (that way it's not bait)? What do you think of NareNare? Does it somehow bait? Or does it wisely stay in it's subtext lane avoiding anything that can be interpreted as "maintext" so they don't run into the "doesn't commit" "backpedal" complaints?
>>4271232>subtext should be less gayYou're getting mixed up.By the time a maintext scene airs, it's not subtext anymore, it's maintext, so it's expected to stay as such; if it ends like a subtext anime, it means you were baited into thinking it would deliver more.I'm liking Narenare by the way, and it's still obviously subtext, so even in the likely scenario that it ends in subtext, I won't have anything to complain about.
Maybe stop replying to the retard that calls "yuri hater" people who want to see girls together?
>>4271222I think there is teasing the girls may like each other romantically as usual and then you have pic related.
>>4271236Subtext is still girls together.. And my problem is dishonesty. If you want maintext and hate subtext say so, instead of "achskually like subtext">>4271235But that's the problem >>4271077 demands gayer subtext, which is impossible as it runs into "maintext scenes". Modern subtext is already as gay as can be, the only way to be gayer is what you call "maintext" scenes and thus the subtext ending becomes "bait"
>>4271233if they kiss its not subtextBe serious
>>4271237And I'm supposed to be unhappy about that?Yuri teasing is the only reason I go through CGDCT in the first place, the more the merrier.But I'm not going to forget what I'm reading and let my expectations run wild, at the end of the day it's still a silly comedy about studying or something, and it ended with the MC getting a job that required a lot of studying, that's fair.I'm just glad it also got such romantic vibes on top of it.
>>4271241If the kiss was enough, wer wouldn't have complaints of backpedal and bait. Clearly there's more to maintext than kiss
Yuri bait
>>4271239Don't you think that >>4271077 doesn't just want maintext scenes, but also a maintext conclusion?There's no issue with being "too gay", there's only with being very gay in the middle and then less gay in the end, which is definitely not what he is asking.
>>4271244Enough of whatYou can have girls kissing and its sill bait, in the end
>>4271253It's bait because it's not maintext and it's still subtextThus, subtext can still have kisses. Thus, you're arguing that's bad and bait and subtext should be less gayer, as these modern attempts at gayer subtext just end up baiting maintext and "backpedaling"
>>4271243It's about setting the reader's expectations, even a comedic CGDCT can't ignore when certain lines are crossed, it's one of the reasons why so many people ended disliking Riko to Haru in the end, the series went in a very explicit yuri direction which wasn't even subtext anymore and then just acted like it never happened.
>>4271249But "subtext authors" won't give him thatSubtext authors will still deliver subtext. They'd be maintext authors otherwise. And subtext that tries to be any gayer ends up being GBC and Jelly which is called "bait" "backpedaling", so asking subtext to get gayer is not the answer because subtext will remain subtextJust be honest and say you want full maintext, but subtext authors and producers won't give you that. At best it's "maintext bait and backpedal" like Jelly and GBC.
>>4271254How is girls kissing subtext???
>>4271256I don't know Riko to Haru, but as I said I wasn't surprised in the slightest that there was no actual kiss in Kirakira, in fact I would've been surprised if there was, because it would've made it a very, very rare exception in its genre.But we're just going in circles now.
>>4271257you can compare random anime original to authors who have a yuri career
>>4271260cannot
I was going to draw a picture of a female mime kissing a female nuclear bomb for you guys because I know you would get a kick out of it but I'm too tired, so please imagine what it would look like in your head instead.Pretty good, right?
>>4271257They are just authors, not subtext or maintext authors, it's just ludicrous to assume there is anything inherently wrong in communicating to authors we are not satisfied with>They will get it wink wink
>>4271262There is no such thing as a female mime.
like many authors jump to explicit yuri when they have the chancesee hijiki or yodokawa
>>4271265Can you provide proof of this claim, Anonymous?
>>4271257Anon, some people like even weak subtext, some like it only very strong, and some like only maintext, but what they all have in common is that the stronger, the better.But what you are arguing now is that when people ask for the yuri to be consistent, they're somehow asking to reduce its intensity, which is silly.If you want to restrict the discussion to these "subtext authors" that absolutely won't do maintext, then people who only like maintext will snob them anyway, and people who like subtext will want it as strong as possible, but still consistent.
>>4271263The problem is anime has more people involved than just the "authors". that influence the final productIf the bosses/comittee say "subtext only", then should they stay in their lane (NareNare) or go for mroe even if it's bait/backpedal/whatever (GBC, Jelly)>>4271268Then the problem is that past a certain level of intesintiy it becomes "inconsistent" and it needs to be less intense than GBC and Jelly to be consistent. We have already achieved the most intense forms of subtext and anything more is just inconsitencies if they aren't allowed to go maintext
>>4271269>past a certain level of intesintiy it becomes "inconsistent" and it needs to be less intenseAgain, that's not what consistency means.If it goes "past a certain level of intensity" halfway through, then people will reasonably expect that level of intensity to be kept or increased, not decreased, which would be anticlimactic and betray the expectations that were created, or in other words, it would be bad writing.
>>4271271But it can't remain "constent", it can only be decreeased as the bosses ban maintextSo, to avoid people screeching about backpedal/bait/bad writing/betray expectaions/whatever, you indeed demand less intensity. Subtext should be less gay so it can keep being subtext while avoiding your complaints. >they could just make maintextThat's the problem. Higher ups won't let them, so it needs to be subtext in the end.
I can't believe they just had yuri sex in Narenare.
I like the shows airing this season better than the shows that aired last season.
>>4271276A mistrake. Bait. Bad writing. Inconsistency. Anticlimatic. Expetations betrayed. Won't go beyond subtext in the end because not allowed. Should stay in it's lane
>>4271274Anon, if two girls in episode 2 marry each other, then from episode 3 until the end with no explanation they refer to each other as friend and date guys, do you expect people to still be grateful about the maintext yuri in episode 2?Of course they won't, they will call it what it is: bait.
>>4271279>date guysWhen did this happen in GBC or Yorukura?
>>4271277GBC alone is still better than anything this season. NareNare is the best this season has and the Anna episodes retarded "save the shop" plot where the girls ended up being useless when the solution was "have Anna's ultra celeb friends help" hurts it. Also the terrible engrish (PA Works getting a good english speaker for Mayonaka Punch just makes it hurt more) If there's a show saving this season, it's Vtuber Legend
>>4271280I made an extreme example of inconsistency since anon wasn't understanding the concept.
>>4271279But if the bosses don't allow them to stay married, then clearly the solution is to lower the intesity of the show and never marry themYou miss the point that the consitency you demand is literally not allowed. >date dudesThis never happens in the shows discussed, Pointless to talk about
>>4271282I understand. You don't understand that past certain intensity, consistency is not allowed. Shows MUST still be subtesxt. So what do?Lower intensity of shows to avoid inconsitencyThat, or accept inconsistency so we can have higher intesity scenes. But you peope don't like inconsistency, so to keep it consistent and remain subtext (as maintext is not allowed in originals yet) we must lower intensity. Higher intesity scenes like confession and kiss should go or be made less intense
>>4271283>never marry themObviously that wedding was entirely pointless since the subsequent episodes completely ignored it, so removing it would remove the inconsistency and improve the writing, but of course it's not a yuri solution.The yuri solution would be for the wedding to be acknowledged as such for the entire run, but since you are excluding this possibility, then there is no way to redeem an anime with such an ending.>This never happens in the shows discussedThey also didn't get married, it's called making an example, a technique often use in conversation.
>>4271285"Majimatard" doesn't provide evidence. Just pushes het crackships
>>4271287So you hate all subtext and see it as beyond redemption. Stop the "ackshually I like subtext" shit
>>4271282I don't want to know about your made-up scenarios.
>>4271290But I like subtext, and I'm liking Narenare, as I've said multiple times.There is no inconsistency in its yuri so far.
>>4271285People call you a Majimaschizo because you keep trying to push your narrative about Chisato being in love with Majima, retard. And you can't defend your point because it never happened, not because of any /u/ rules.
>>4271284>Higher intesity scenes like confession and kiss should go or be made less intenseThe kiss and confession in those shows are like the wedding in my example, they are rendered pointless by the lack of an outcome after they took place, so you wouldn't be making them less intense, the following episodes already did so.
>>4271292Then you chose a bad example to represent subttext with a flawed conclusionYou lijke it precisely because it has lower intensity compared to GBC and Jelly. It didn't include a single high intesity scene. It stays in it's lane, so indeed the solution is to lower intensity and not chase higher intesities (since the shows must still remain subtext, and any consitent higher intensity, would be maintext, which is still not allowed in originals)
>>4271279>what if I make up this scenario that favors the point I'm trying to makeJust stop it with these insane comparisons. It actually says a lot that you can't cite an actual work.
>>4271294You fail to understand. To be "consistent" those scenes should either not be there, or be less intense. You demand a lower intensity for those moments in the name of consistency. Since the shows can't be maintext (forbidden by bosses), the only way to fix them to create and ideal consistent version is to make the cultprit scenes (kiss and confession) non-existent or less intense
>>4271297>You lijke it precisely because it has lower intensity compared to GBC and JellyIf Narenare had a GBC style on-screen confession this episode, I would be liking it more right now, not less.However, if your expectations about its ending turned out to be correct and it did end in friendship, then of course I would be disappointed, which would make me like it less than I do now.What you are misunderstanding is the "intensity" part, an event is only as intense as its consequences on the story and characters, so a confession without consequences isn't intense at all, and complaining about it wouldn't be complaining about yuri being too intense, it would be the opposite.
>>4271267It's like asking me to prove aliens don't exist.
>>4271269>The problem is anime has more people involved than just the "authors". that influence the final product>If the bosses/comittee say "subtext only", then should they stay in their lane (NareNare) or go for mroe even if it's bait/backpedal/whatever (GBC, Jelly)It doesn't really matter though, we should just voice discontent, whether something will be done about it or not is beyond us.
GBC and Yorukura both ended in yuri.
>>4271299>It actually says a lot that you can't cite an actual work.While of course not as extreme as my example was intended to be, I'd say Hibike isn't too far removed from it.
how is magi revo?
>>4271305Sure, but not in a satisfactory way.
>>4271302But if the event is not intense, then there's no contradiction, no inconsistency, no backpedallingThe inconsitency happens when the even is intese but the rest isn'tAnd the solution is to midofiy the inconsistent event, removing it, or making it less intense so there's no inconsitentcy>If Narenare had a GBC style on-screen confession this episode, I would be liking it more right now, not less.Still a subtext show. It would be another GBC where the confession can't have the "cosistency" you demand. So indeed you like subtext when it's less intense. More intense subtext with a love confession, you call "inconsistent" and bad (GBC),. To mkae it consaistent with the confession, it needs to be maintext (but that's forbidden in originals)
>>4271307It's kinda gay not going to lie to you
>>4271308I was satisfied by both (less so Jelly, but still)>>4271306And we were talking subtext like GBC and Jelly. Not bait like Hibike. Not the same. If your example has Hibike in mind, you've lost the point
>>4271281>Engrish>Expecting a brazilian teenager to not butcher the english languague.
>>4271309>But if the event is not intense, then there's no contradiction, no inconsistency, no backpedallingA confession such as the one in GBC is obviously expected to deeply impact the story and characters, and when it doesn't, those expectations are betrayed because the story backpedaled from it, making it inconsistent.>So indeed you like subtext when it's less intense.Go read >>4271302 again, I'm getting tired of repeating myself.
>>4271312Lol, sorry if your shitty language has more exceptions than rules.
>>4271311Huh, so first you reject an example and ask me to cite an actual work instead, so I do that, but now you reject the actual work because it's not the one you want.I've already been talking about GBC and Jelly in other posts.
>>4271306Uh isn't Hibike an inverse example, since it's ostensibly a hetero love story but the guy gets so little screentime compared to the girls it comes across as extremely yuri friendly?
Hibike is the only work the anti-yuri schizos can cite whenever they want to prove their point. That's right, one series is the undeniable proof that everything will happen exactly like it. No other series exist in this world except Hibike.
>>4271306>HibikeYou mean that Hibike that was never a yuri series to begin with?
>>4271316It's actually pretty pertinent for that reason, because just like GBC and Jelly it has a very yuri middle part but a much less yuri ending (extremely less in this case since it's het).
>>4271320I don't get it, both their endings were still yuri though. A lot of shows peak somewhere in the middle of the season, it's not a huge deal.
>>4271317is hibike a good show regardless of it having yuri or not?
>>4271312Why did all those other celebs sound shit? No one soudned right
>>4271324It's your typical drama over nothing show, if this is your thing.
Man I can't wait for another general thread where /u/ not to argue about subtext and maintext and everything in between with the same points as the last 100 threads!
>>4271324No, it's a het series.
>>4271313But in GBC it impacted the story and characters. Momo and Nina were acting differently after the confessionRegardless. How do you make a show that has a confession, is still subtext (boss demands) and matches intensity to said confession without incsonsteincies? You claim to not dislike higher intensity but label such higher intesisites as inconsitent when it has to end in subtext per boss demandsSo clearly, you only like subtext when it's less intense (NareNare) and if NareNare had a confession, you'd hate it as inconsistent since it needs to still be subext (and thus would be what you call inconsistent)Sounds to me you've no idea of what you want or what you're talking about
>>4271323It's cool that it wasn't a big deal for you, it was disappointing for me though.I can't remember many other shows doing the same, with yuri at least.
>Evil YuriThe Feelings We All Must EndureGunjoBlueHelter SkelterWhite Angels Have No Wings Any other candidates?
>>4271307Explicit yuri, but some of the conflicts just kind of end as soon as they start. Thought it was just the anime rushing things, but its like that in the manga too (no idea about the LN). It very much worth watching if you can tolerate generic fantasy
>>4271330I'm sorry anon, I really did my best to make you understand, but you're either unable or unwilling to, and I can't spend the entire night repeating myself, so I'll have to agree to disagree and end things here.Sweet dreams to you.
>>4271332im more dangerous than you
>>4271334You're the one unable and unwilling to understand that the only way you'd like NareNare with a confession is if it was maintext to be "consistent"But anime original will never be maintext. So, NareNare remaining subtext would make the confession inconsistent and you wouldn't like itYou like subtext at lower intensities like NareNare. And for higher intensities you want maintext. Otherwise it's inconsistent
>>4271307It's pretty good as far as isekai goes>universe doesn't have RPG mechanics>MC isn't reincarnated into a dating sim so she can't just skip cutscenes because she has no knowledge of the universe other than what she's naturally learned>only real strength is her collective knowledge of the real world but is limited in her ability to apply it, e.g. no magical cell phone out of her ass>actually worries about if her reincarnating into someone "killed" the original MC's identity>girlfriend is the real (literal) godmode characterPretty easy to forget it's an isekai show up until MC decides to ruminate on something from Earth that were.It ain't revolutionary but it's definitely up there as far as LN fantasy goes. Plus there's yuri.

I doubt yuri bait is a real thing. I mean this niche genre can barely survive on it own. We're not rich like fujos who will buy all the merch because 2 guys breath the same air
>>4271462>I doubt yuri bait is a real thingNo, don't take away our common object of fear and loathing. Such a thing is a great unifier, and if it doesn't exist, it's worth inventing.
>>4271351I mean, I don't care. But I'm also an idiot and it seems the lords of writing require subtext to be as restrained as possible or there's some inconsistency or whatever and it's "bad writing expectatiosn betrayed anticlimatic" if it doesn't go maintext (which it won't. Maintext is only allowed for adaptations)

>>4270981This could have been a "your boobs are cute" moment if it weren't for those stupid dresses. Is this kind of thing even real at hot springs, or is this PA Works just being PA Works and getting rid of anything resembling fanservice?
>>4271482The specific real life hot spring they were shilling uses those dresses: https://x.com/gunma_tabotabo/status/1822657752352887085
>>4271484>>4271045
>>4271482Maybe it's for the best, though. The scene of naked and wet girls hugging or practicing jumps could seriously damage the already weak sanity of the locals and go down in /u/ history as a monumental case of the so-called "backpedalling".
>>4271484nta but sometimes i forget a lot of the places shown in anime are real locations and not just made up spots in japan. Do they get paid to advertise them, or is it something they do of their own accord
>>4271480Been here far longer than you, whiny retard.
>>4271488P.A. Works makes a lot of tourism ad shows which I believe are partially government-funded. I'd say sometimes it feels more naturally integrated than others. Aquatope made sense to be set in Okinawa with the aquarium and the spirit that appeared at times, while Narenare being set in Gunma feels pretty interchangeable since it's not like the area has a history of cheerleading.

is the othersiders picnic manga worth reading if i have no plans of picking up the LN? or is it unfaithful like the anime
>>4271499The manga is extremely faithful to the novels, it even goes over almost all of Sorawo's internal monologue. It's written by the original author.
>>4271499>or is it unfaithful like the animeIt cheats a little, but like it's girlfriend's not here today, so it's somewhat acceptable.
Anyone get what they want in Comiket?
>Stops serializing>Becomes based
>>4271526I've never bought doujinshi, what's their size? It's difficult to understand it from photos alone. Are they the same size of Kirara's tankoubon or are they bigger than them?
I read a news article about how the keyboardist of a girl band had to quit the band after only 18 months in the band because her hand started cramping up so badly that she couldn’t finish songs and her right ear went deaf twice and the doctor said it was an inner ear disorder and every time it happens her hearing gets damaged and she might have to wear a hearing aid soon and she also had a foot injury that probably would’ve made it impossible to stand for a full 15-song concert and she said in her farewell letter to her fans that the other members of the band were really nice to her but it was clear from her letter that the whole experience was pretty miserable for her and she asked her fans not to bring up the band if they ever meet her at an event in the future and my yuri brain made up an entire story about how the keyboardist would be causing trouble for the band with her chronic injuries and the other girls would be nice to her on the surface but talk shit behind her back and only the singer was nice to her and the keyboardist would go home after practice and cry herself to sleep and things got to the point where she would cry in the bathroom and the singer found her crying in a stall on time and the keyboardist finally confesses that she’s thinking of leaving the band and the singer hugs her and says that she’ll always support the keyboardist no matter what happens. Then the keyboardist tells the band that she’s quitting and gives the drummer, guitarist, and bassist some cheap shitty parting gifts but gives the singer a silver pocket watch with the singer’s name engraved on it with a card saying that she hopes the singer will look at the watch and fondly remember their time together.
>>4271531Then a year later or so the keyboardist gets meet and greet tickets to a concert with her old band, now with a new keyboardist, and after the show the old keyboardist approaches the singer and is like “lol remember me” and the singer gets excited and hugs her and takes the pocket watch out of her pocket and says she has it on stage with her at every live to give her courage and the old keyboardist says that the moment they shared in the bathroom made her realize that at least one person in the world cares about her and gave her the courage to get help and become sober (no idea why I decided she was an alcoholic, probably from watching GBC) and she finally came out to her family and introduces the singer to her girlfriend. The yuri swamp is a strange place.
>>4271531>>4271532This is very autistic, and probably not a healthy state of mind; i found your story very cute though, good job

>>4271529I think Tachi follows the standard 257 x 182mm size.
>>4271545So they are indeed bigger than A5. They must be a pain in the ass to put in your shelf.

>>4271598lol no
We are one day away from the 25th anniversary of the greatest yuri anime movie of all time. Why is it still yet to be surpassed?
>>4271394It's more like she has memories of Anis as she is up through her childhood, and then she got her "memories" of Earth later in life when she was 5 years old. So up until Euphie clarifies the nature of this, that this kind of memory incarnation isn't unique to Anis, Anis lived under the belief she may have accidentally caused "ego death" to the original Anis.It probably helps that we don't actually know anything about what could've been Anisphia's original identity on Earth, she just has memories of that world but nothing that makes her a specific individual like being a student or an OL or anything.
>>4271338i cnat take seriously any story where they think a teenager ruling is a good idea
>>4271631Anon that's literally part of the history of our own very worl-...you know what, you're not wrong
>>4271630Due to the nature of her memories which cover a large ammount of topics in detail, not only about science but culture, and how there is no human being who knows even 1/10 of the stuff she does. it's sorta implied it's some collective memory of earth's knowledge rather than memories from a past life she lived herself, the fact she has zero individual memories further gives credence to this, it's not really a reincarnation but more like Annis was suddenly forced to read several books with a perfect memory and understading to remember every single page,
>>4271621RIP to the english utena VA. The second utena VA to die from cancer

Added transparency/semi-transparency in some scenes to show more more of the artwork.

Is there any yuri in genshiken?
>>4271636Wasn't there also something about she couldn't use magic because her soul is from another world?
>>4271707If I recall she actually has a lot of mana but she has no magical atribute and so she doesn't align with any spirit and this is why she wanted to fight a dragon in the first place.

I just learned about Kiyoko Matsumoto, is that why yuri is so associated with angst?
>>4271802So what happened to Masako?
>>4271803She became lovers' suicide anon.
>>4271828For real though imagine seeing your girlfriend leap into a volcano and then going ehh maybe this isn't for me
https://mangadex.org/title/58533498-e740-45f6-9c34-3d4250971610/umidori-tougetsu-no-detarame-na-jijouIs this yuri or not?
>>4271830Why weren't they holding hands as they jumped is the real question.
>>4271802>Kiyoko jumped, Masako didn'tThat's the kind of things that results in onryos. Masako most likely died as a result of Kiyoko's vengeful spirit.Also it took them 2 to 4 years and 1200+ attempted suicides before realizing the volcano is a death trap?
>>4271705up where
>>4271858Up yours lmao
>>4271802>volcano full of lesbians ghostshuh
>>4271802How has this not been made into a manga/VN?>MC goes to volcano to an hero>gets stopped by a girl in strangly old looking attire >they hit it off and get together>MC tries to kiss other girl but she ends up going through her instead>turns out shes the ghost of a girl that actually did jump into the volcano but couldn't move on due to her lover not jumping with her
>>4271902Need a manga about an OL going there on vacation, spending her days being guided around by a young girl who wants to earn enough money to leave her rural town, as they share their different perspectives they slowly grow to like each other. The island girl takes her to see the volcano and suddenly gets kissed by her before the OL shoves something in her hand and jumps in following after her old girlfriend. The young girl looks at her hand bewildered, it's holding the ticket back to Tokyo.
>>4271897we need a yuri manga about this
>>4271802>>4271902There actually is a fair amount of fiction referencing the theme of Taisho era schoolgirl suicides, both yuri and non-yuri. I learned about them for the first time in 2008 due to the mystery anime Mouryou no Hako. For a yuri example, you have Yume no Hashibashi:https://mangadex.org/title/04ca1157-3482-4fc8-87f8-c7d30241734b/the-ends-of-a-dreamThe 1930s were the period when the Japanese government started ramping up censorship of Class S literature and Takarazuka plays because they were generating too many lesbians. (Most S magazines eventually got completely banned just before the start of WWII. Takarazuka was allowed to keep its doors open but was forced to completely shut down interactions between actresses and fans.)Public outcry with regards to schoolgirl suicides was one factor, but most of it was the increasingly authoritarian government as Japan veered towards war. Feminism in Taisho era Japan is actually a really fascinating topic because the whole country was swept up in a modernization movement as Japan tried to restructure itself into a world superpower, but those same national ambitions caused the establishment to reinforce traditional gender roles and patriarchy.For example, women didn't have the right to vote and married women gave up all rights to their property. There are sources that claim that (according to surveys) 80-90% of schoolgirls in that period had experience with S (lesbian) relationships. For those who didn't want to become slaves to patriarchy, suicide might've been one of the only options.Although most of the material about that period is pretty tragic (both fiction and non-fiction) because things really WERE that shitty for women, a lot of it still pretty inspiring to learn about because the feminist movement produced many real intellectuals and revolutionaries.
>daily hunt for yuri art>this one looks nice>click through>ts>futa>body swap>posession>fart/scat>man joins inWhat's wrong with people? Why can't they just draw wholesome yuri smut where the girls are in love, instead of this fucked shit?
>>4271942How much you paid them?Zero.You know how much degenerate coomers paid them?Millions...
>>4271942People harp about male gaze shit but to me the more important distinction to make is whether an artist cares about yuri as a genre or if its just another fetish on a long checklist.
>>4271942I've actually commissioned art before, memberships,etc.
>>4271950meant for>>4271944
>>4271942It'a because when someone like Chigusa Minori makes a yuri art, you'd bitch about it. This is what you get in the end.
>>4271952She doesn't make yuri art tho?Male gaze shit is not yuri
>>4271958You're proving my point. Enjoy your>ts>futa>body swap>posession>fart/scat>man joins inart then. Dumb bitch.
>>4271959>supporting an artist that draws non-yuri shit like solo girls looking at the viewer would somehow make artists stop drawing non-yuri shitWhat the fuck are you talking about?
Artists don't owe you anything.
>>4271952Excuse me but why are you being mean to me based on an image that you have in your own head?
>>4271965Why is this always the response on a yuri board? Why can't any of you just be normal and be like ah that sucks, you're right?
>>4271926Wow, are you some kind of yuri historian or something?
>>4271964>non-yuri shitDumb. Bitch.
Mahoako? Explicit yuri for everyone's gaze and more successful than your favorite "pure" yuri anime.
>>4271971It got axed though
>>4271968It's just a hetfag defending the artists he likes, don't make it sounds like he's the whole board. It's obvious we're pissed off, there's no need to voice it everytime, we can't do shit, the best thing is ignoring and not giving attention.
>>4271968I am an adult, I ignore things I don't like. You're a big crybaby.
>>4271981It's just kind of ridiculous that this is your reaction. I say I search for yuri and a lot of what comes up is depraved fetish shit, not yuri. That it's most of it is a problem. Not saying I have a solution, but having this visceral negative reaction to anyone commiserating about an obvious problem is mentally ill.
>>4271982The problem is in your head, schizo.
>>4271983No it isn't. You're the one denying reality, and it's because you absolutely hate yuri.
>>4271986There is more than enough yuri for daily consumption.Get a job.
>>4271989Never thought I'd see someone on /u/ arguing that we have enough yuri and don't need any more. Bizarre world it is.
>>4271968Because "yuri board" is not an excuse to act like everyone who isn't ultra dedicated to yuri exclusively is some sort of awful person who needs to die and like the yuri they do make doesn't count as "real yuri"Guess AdaShima is not true yuri because the author does het"yuri board" isn't the "complain when artists do non-yuri stuff" board
>>4271982That sounds like a problem with tags and search engines. Artists shouldn't limit themselves just because the sites are awful shit and don't have a way to exclude non-yuri shit from searches
>>4271993"we need more yuri" doesn't mean "wer should force artists to do yuri only and those who dare want something else need to burn"
>>4272001Did I say anything about that, you perpetually angry idiot. All I said is that it would be an objectively better situation for any real yurifag of they did choose to fuck off with these non-yuri, or just plain disgusting fetishes that are often tagged yuri.>>4271998TS isn't yuri. Futa isn't yuri. Posession is in most cases not yuri. The only one in there that is yuri as tagged usually is fart/scat. I am judging artists, but they can do what they want. When a decent chunk of doujins, or images tagged yuri are one of these then there is a problem because objective beauty does exist and this ain't it.
>>4271902https://mangadex.org/chapter/324d102c-1546-476c-a1a0-2f5c41b4bfa3/1
>>4271942First there is no point in you fighting with the image spammer, he always does this and defends this type of content, after all he posts those themselve and has created himself several threads of non yuri content you can check yourself in the catalog, he is a pervert living off your tax money you will see he never argues anything but to defend his fetishes, after all he does not like yuri, it's just another fetish to him and his obvious lack of intelligence to hold any discussion.Second unfortunately there is nothing we can do, especially with bad actors, I was originally planning to post several Comiket104 stands but then I just realizef the sad truth, I don't trust most of those artists to not sneak some futanari doujin if not worse, even a certain fan favorite here who had a couple in a yuri anthology is selling a compilatatio of stories this artists did on her fanbox, one which includes the girls growing dicks and fucking each other, unfortunately it's the old truth, never trust a hentai artist.I just follows my own rules to mitigate problems>Always look on the tags page of the user on pixiv for futa and threesome, the ueer posting unrelated het is something you will have to deal with>Set up panda filters to exclude most het stuff and use the watch tab, yuri tag can include a lot of non yuri content, so use the females only tag in combination with the yuri tag. Though be careful that for some reason sometimes some tags will just no work properly and bypass the filter.>On twitter always report as child safety and the block users posting onimai and other TS related stuff to get them suspended.
>>4272007This was a horror story and the author probanly though lesbians were the scariest part
>>4271834No one knows because no one read it. Kadokawa actually messed up the listing and included internal notes in the description that said the first volume only sold an estimated 1131 copies.
Does nun blood taste better than regular blood?
>>4272046>Not tagged as yuri anywhereWell hopefully they didn't expect it would sell with the yuri audience, because they are not helping themselves
>>4272046>no one read ithttps://archiveofsins.com/u/thread/3901310/#3918929Personally I dropped it after pic related.
>>4272051Seems like it was just a big waste of everyone's time then.
>>4272004>>4272011https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKO-4HvVp8Y
>>4272049>>4272051It's annoying how many LN series I see people pushing as yuri are like that. No official tags, and you read it and it doesn't go anywhere. At least we are getting a few actual yuri LNs these days.
One of these days, yuri authors will find a new plot device that doesnt involve arranged marriages
>>4272021random GL one shots in shojo anthologies are always a fav treat of mine
>>4272060Isn't this from a horror anthology by a big name though?
>>4272058I think it's fine if there is some obvious blatant consistent subtext, but it seems some retards think not having a male characters compesates the lack of any romantic chemistry between the girls.
>>4272059It's a timeless classic. Unfortunately.
>>4272004Again, why are you acting like the problem is artists drawing this shit instead of applying wrong tags?I agree it ahouldn’t be tagged yuri, but that’s as far as I agree. If they tag it right, artists can do whatever they want
Is this the first cafe by a yuri mangokahttps://x.com/kstk39/status/1823306674951827751
>>4272067WataYuri if it real
>>4272067>Atelier RenardCafe Retard Renako
>>4272067It's encouraging to see that yuri is becoming such a profitable business that any mangaka can earn enough money from just two volumes to open a cafe in Shibuya.
>>4272074It's just really cheap to open cafes
>>4271830To be fair, death would be more like hitting concrete, and you get cremated afterwards. You wouldn't actually feel your body getting Mustafar'd.
>>4272051That's what they always say. It doesn't mean they're actually not gay.
>>4272078It's the other way around, you're being cremated in midair before crashing on the lava.
>>4272079When it actually goes nowhere it makes you think she may be upon something
>>4272074She got her money from her cosplay/photography stuff.
>>4272051
>>4272081Nah I don't believe her.
>>4272082Sure, let's call it this
>protag transfers to a new school at the start of the school year>helps girl out on her way to school>once in school, she realizes that the girl she helped was actually the student council president, with the best grades in school, and her own fan club>they hit it offor>protagonist starts off already at school>sudden transfer student in the middle of the year>its a stoic beauty who everyone has a crush on>no one can seem to get close to her as shes hard to approach and acts cold towards others>protag ignores this and gets clingy with new girl, and it turns out shes just shy, and was lonely because people were too nervous to be her friend so she had no one to talk to>they hit it off
>>4272086It's true though. If you can open a cafe from releasing 2 volumes, where's the cafe by Manio?
>>4272090>Manio>Working
>>4272083She's right, though. She's Sakaki-sexual
>>4272058 But pretty much all yuri LNs have the gut to declare how yuri they are? What are you even reading that you are getting shits like that?
>>4272090She might not mind opening her own cafe (unless she works there herself), but the health inspectorate has some objections to that.

>>4272092Still gay, Kaori.
>>4271855I'm more disgusted by all the tourists who were actively watching people kill themselves like it's a tourist attraction.
>>4271803Masako returned to school, and told all her friends about Kiyoko jumping into the volcano. Not long after, Masako died, though the cause of her death was never publicized.So yeah, either she killed herself to follow after Kiyoko after making sure she became a legend, or Kiyoko's vengeful spirit came for her.Here's a letter that Kiyoko wrote to Masako before jumping.>“Dearest, I am bewildered to distraction by the perplexities of maturing womanhood. I can stand the strain no longer. What shall I do? I should like to jump into a volcano.”https://www.thescarechamber.com/its-criminal-to-buy-a-1-way-ticket/

>>4272143>“Dearest, I am bewildered to distraction by the perplexities of maturing womanhood. I can stand the strain no longer. What shall I do? I should like to jump into a volcano.”Wtf, she needs to study English better, this is incomprehensible!
>>4272143Or you know the truth, Kyoyko was a cheating whore and Masako pushed her into the volcano and forged a letter, classic lesbian move

>>4272218I wouldn't put the source material of a popular yuri ship on a list of yuri anime if said source isn't yuri. Anna falls in love with and gets married to a dude.

>>4272263>>4272264Takes one to know one.
>>4272278I'm not the one calling non-yuri shit and actual hetshit yuri.
I still think it’s cringe that a yuri vn writer complained about their bl vns not getting enough attention when the reason western yuri vns get noticed more is because there isn’t enough yuri jp vns to begin with and bl is an oversaturated market.

>>4272238>japRetarded autistic characters who don't even know their own feelings (probably reflects japs), but stories seem to have more of a purpose when kr and chink tend to be soap opera type of stuff. >kr and chinkI don't think it's that different from chink except kr has more smut, and Chinese seems to have more quality yuris (art and story) in comparison to kr. Both have more relatable characters compared to japs

>>4272439Yeah I hate that stuff. Definitely dont post any or I will be very upset!

Will we actually get to find out who nadeshiko’s gf is within five years?
>>4272498It will be sometime between Hime and Yano getting together and the YuzuMei sex scene.
>>4272486Don't worry Adachi can take care of the remaining 9.3333 rounds
>>4272437Well it has to be said japanese works are usually High School era stories while Korean are mostly adults in either college or working while Chinese is mostly a mix between fantasy or adults either in office or working as superstars. So it's not really surprising they would be more relatable to the older demographic here since both Korea and China have older demographics for yuri, meanwhile Japan it's very likely on the spot for it's target audience.
>>4272439incest is to yuri what rape is to yaoi
>>4272205North Korea, right?I wish it didn't look like they just grabbed the first promo images they found and put it all together in the dumbest way possible.
Did Yuama draw BL before?
>>4272560Possible illustrations, she has said she buys BL though. She claims she only got interested in yuri because her editor told her she would be more suitable for it, but her first drawings in pixiv easily disprove this as she was already shipping Love Live characters.
>>4272562Why do authors love lying
>>4272579I think they just want to look more profissional and just outright admitting they got into it because it's a hobby does not sound as great.
>still no episode
>>4272592But admitting to liking BL is okay and professional
>>4272600May I see it?
If a woman draws manga there's a 80% chance she likes or has liked BL.
There's nothing wrong with liking BL.
>>4272602https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/24847059>>4272603I see more and more GL only artists. Early yuri hime had plenty of fujo authors.
>>4272606>Deku X Bakugou>Ochako X TsuyuCute.
>>4272606Holy Kek we finally found someone who liked MHA ending lol
>>4272601First she isn't saying she does not like yuri, just that she didn't became an writer because she liked yuri, second she isn't writting BL so of course it doesn't matter.
>>4272608I didn't check the general online response but I have to imagine BakuDeku fujos were happy since Deku/Ochako explicitly didn't happen and Bakugou is the one who gets the most important interaction with Deku in the final chapter.
BL and GL are born from the same pot, in the doujin scene.
>>4272611Let's just say SNK ending was forgotten because incels found a new target to hate because he didn't got the girl but got a job instead lol.>>4272613Yes, the circles are usually very close to each other, like literally just next to each other, so even if the girls are not into BL or GL they mostly know each other. Even to this day the doujin scene is still dominated by women.

>>4272640I want to forget this shitty ending.
What's happened to School Zone's author now? I thought they were doing something new.
is liar satsuki really yuri? theres no yuri tag on mangadex
>>4272666There's lots of teasing, an explicitly lesbian side character and it gets there at the end with the MC and main heroine though the epilogue hasn't been translated yet.
>>4272675>though the epilogue hasn't been translated yet.Makes you curious why it wasn't, it can't be axed again by doing so.
>>4272666It has girls that love girls, but if you mean anything explicitly romantic, then you might be a little disappointed. Since there's moments that can be considered romantic, but none of them really go anywhere.
>>4272683Because the author was the sole Komachifag on the planet. No one wants to touch that shit.
>>4272660After drawing random premises for a while between exorcists and a kendo club, she seems to have settled on a magical girl theme and is storyboarding the first chapters. Sometimes she posts bits of pages before deleting them later. It seems about as goofy as School Zone but with a serious side too.
>>4272683Noighd is waiting for the volume release at the end of the month to do the epilogue and extras at once.
>>4272666>>4272675Komachi and Satsuki are very close at the end, Komachi even calls Satsuki's dad father, but this is the most confirmation you get out of their relationship.>>4272683Noighd said he is translating it but he waiting to buy the volumes himself.
>>4272687Aw, I liked the exorcists one>Sometimes she posts bits of pages before deleting them laterWhy do artists do this
>>4272660>>4272687It has been 4 years already anons, she is stuck in this cycle of iterating between ideas, maybe she tried to pitch and got rejected several times IDK, but the first thing any editor will ask her is why she didn't work for 4 years, why she abandoned her serialization, why she didn't do any web comic, why she hasn't set up even a fanbox and so on. And the sad thing is that her sketches do look great, but IMO she must have actual mental illness and is just unable to properly work.
>>4272699>Why do artists do thisArtism. At least it seems like it would have a darker bent to it, if not grimdark mahou shoujo.
>>4272706She posts more stuff on her other non twitter social media account
>>4272706This looks fire honestly.
>>4272641Did you think that it was gonna end well? Something would have gone wrong even if they didn't go back to the complex together
>>4272719I would have been plenty satisfied if Shio died in the fall.
>>4272666>they removed the GL taghate to see it. it was still there like a year ago
>>4272640>>4272641>>4272719I still remember that the day I watched the end of the anime, I dreamed that night, that in the last episode during the mini market shopping part, Sato found the Yugioh card "Number 75: Bamboozling Gossip Shadow" and she made a contract with that monster and saved both of them from the fall.I wish that all my dreams were like that.
>>4272728
>>4272728>Number 75Not the monster I would have pegged as a yurifag.
Shio knew she was loved, she is finally complete, Satou saved her and Shio will be frtever waiting for her return.
>>4272731It's not like I chose the monster, I just dreamed that it happened, I guess that's my mind's way of dealing with the ending and trying to fix it.a little bit of the reason for this image that I asked for: >>4272730The monster is in the knife (apparently)
Satou won
>>4272734Clearly, Gossip Shadow used its effect to change Satou's lovers' suicide into both drawing 1 card therefore surviving.
>>4272768To be desu I would have imagined Number 39: "Hope is a girl's name" King Hope.

Jellyfish confirmed yuri? or is it because of Kiui?
>>4272818Don't be in such a hurry. It's not even a year out of the 50 needed to answer that question.
>>4272818Kiui is a girl and you don't understand that episode.
>Bodacious space pirates>manabi straight>kiddy grade>urara meirochouAre these worth watching?
>>4272865>Bodacious space piratesBodacious Space Pirates is like peak "sit through the most boring shit imaginable for what should be a cool as hell premise because the author was more interested in creating an inane bureaucracy around their setting rather than write about cool space pirate shit, all just so you can see one of the few animated yuri kisses we had in the early 2010s"Said yuri kiss didn't even involve the main characters, either. It is what it is.
>>4272686>akirafags still being madLmao
>>4272865>manabi straightDo you even need to ask?
>>4272868It's yuri. Just like Candy Boy is despite the name. No idea why they think having confusing names is a good idea (Yuri on Ice being the worst offender).
>>4272845The LGBTQ+ can only be about MahiKano being Lesbians
>>4272874Is Mei not a lesbian anymore or something?
>>4272878I mean, she's a joke. Her feelings are used for Kuroko-tier jokes most of the time. Only a few times are they taken seriously. Using the tag for what is mostly a joke lesbian will just get you hate from that audience. Imagine using that tag for something like Railgun, have people watch it and see that the only lesbian is a joke character obssessed with an straight girl who is in love with a typical LN male harm MCPeople who want actual yuri and LGBTQ+ stuff would be super dissapointed and angry.
>>4272885>lesbian is a joke character obssessed with an straight girl who is in love with a typical LN male harm MCBut that doesn't describe Mei at all besides the lesbian part.
>>4272885People who want actual yuri don't want anything to do with GTQ+ shit.
>>4272887not a big fan of the B either
>>4272892you don't belong here

>>4272897no u
>>4272895>bicutieLiking cocks is not cute, it’s disgusting
>bislut apologists
>>4272899Not the point, as long as a women loves a women it's yuri
>>4272892Purityfags are the worst.Just the worst.
>>4272886If you believe the LGBTQ+ tag only applies to her,, and not MahiKano, it's still the only gay character being a joke, which isn't ideal>>4272887I imagine HiDive just don't have a tag/category specifically for yuri and thus yuri stuff gets thrown into the LGBTQ+ bag. Blame Sentai for not having a yuri tag and using an LGBTQ+ cagtegoryThis discussion is about Sentai/HiDive tagging Jelly as LGBTQ+ probably because Mei and MahiKano are interpreted as Lesbians
>>4272905>Forgetting Kiui was also groping biker boobs with KanoWhy are MahiKanofags like this?
>hating yuri and Manio/Kodama
>>4272913Nobody hates Manio.
>>4272913Nobody hates Kodama.
>>4272913Nobody hates yuri.
>>4272912Because Kiui was overshadowed by the "maybe NB" thing and a single boob grope scene is still not the kind of stuff that'd put a show in a yuri/LGBTQ+ category. Again, Kuroko is groping Misaka constantlyMahiKano is the closest we come to non-joke/fanservice yuri in that show
>>4272918MahiKano is a joke. The joke was people thinking it would go anywhere.
>>4272913But Manio herself hates yuri?
>>4272921Stop spreading misinformation.
>>4272921No, she hates Yuri. As in, the bad guy from C&C. Get it right.
>>4272920You know what I mean, you disingenous fuck. Comedy gags vs serious drama. You not liking the drama or that it's subtext is not relevant here. You should've knwon anyway. Execs will never greenlight maintext originals. WfM was a miracle
>>4272924>Execs will never allow it!DogaKobo? The company that literally turned a het VN into yuri. Won't allow it?
>>4272925>het VN into yuriWhat anime?
>>4272927pretty sure hes talking about koihime (trash)
>>4272868cant tell if youre saying this because its obviously gay, or if youre just making a joke on the name
>>4272921Manio loves yuri she would do unthinkable things to girls
>>4272924The main text saved WfM for me, else it'd go into the same basket with lycoreco and jerry labeled "shit writing in the second half." Main text allowed me to look past the untidy loose ends.

I don't trust straight women who write yuri.What is the thought process there?Terrifying...
>>4272966Sure sis it's very scary. Those dastardly straight women must be planning something truly reprehensible.
>>4272966You don't trust 95% of yuri authors? What is hard for you to understand about people enjoying illustrations of girls kissing?

>>4272941I suspect back then VN licenses were so cheap in comparison to published works that production companies were buying them in bulks but had no actual idea of what to do with them, since a lot of them were hentai they obviously couldn't faithfully adapt them and in a lot cases the male protagonists of those VNs were just POVs rather than actual characters.
>>4272865>>urara meirochouAbsolutely. Make sure to read the manga too.
>>4273004I mean they aren't wrong in saying that it was recommended to the elementary school students, just not specifically.
>>4273004The fact is it was recommended to elementary schoolers. I don't know what's your problem with this.
Is Adachi to Shimamura the (officially) yuri series with most fan artwork?
>>4272941>turning het into yuri in the pastNekopara and AoKana are from this decade by the way, so the "past" thing doesn't apply. There may even be more examples and people simply ignore them out of proud ignorance.>Yes. Name me a single maintext yuri original by themyou miss the point in the dumbest way possible, the fact that something that could perfectly be run of the mill trash but decided to go the yuri route is something to be commended, look at the Blue Archive anime as an example of playing it safe and creating something incredibly mediocre in the process.
>>4273032But that's all official art?
>>4273033I see you are just stretching the definition of yuri to fit whatever you want, being an alternative POV to the same scenarios of a het eroge like Nekopara is now yuri
>QIs Queen a sexuality?Bismillah NOOOOOOOO!
>>4273036Yes of course, I should have said pic not related, it seems to me lately there is even more Adashima artwork than in the last years
>>4273039>>4273039idk about that, if you count lycoreco as yuri
>>4273037in which parts, where the original MC is almost a secondary character whose greatest merit is 2 jokes, a sister perverted by the cat girls or the interactions between the 3 groups of cat girl couples in addition to basically an adopted daughter (original anime character by the way) who also has her potential romantic interest.I'm only mentioning what I saw in the anime and what actually happened, I have no interest in the original VN, so that anime (which is an OST that mixes ice cream cart music with elevator music) is the only thing that interests me about NekoPara and it turns out there's yuri in there.
>>4273042>the (officially) yuri series with most fan artwork?
>>4273039The funniest thing is the stupid accusations from "MG" and what the anime did was increase the yuri art and the fanservice character receives little or no attention, so MG's logic has no real basis and is just complaints from people like the evil fat girl.>>4273042yes, any problem?
>>4272727The one girl who explicitly was a lesbian died by lightning strike. Then the ending caused a ton of rage because Akira didn't win. So it's like they're sweeping these things under the rug by labeling it as if it's a subtext series, that way future readers don't go in expecting anything on the yuri front.
>>4273049>yes, any problem?then it would have more fanart than any main text yuri i would assume lol
>>4273051>a ton of rageAkirasis, you can stop lying now.
>>4273056It did. The mangadex comments showed as much. Though it wasn't just the ending. There were starting to be alot of complaints the series went to shit when Seo as the mastermind was revealed and too much time was spent on the student council members.
>>4273044The whole anime goes by the same events the games do, you just don't see the story from the male character perspective but from the perspective of the girls, those character interactions also exist in the VN which also contain yuri hentai, but you were never supposed to believe the protagonist isn't fucking them.
>>4273058>mangadex commentsDo you enjoy sticking your head in the toilet?
>>4273051It's not a romance series, though the subtext is more on the heavy side.>>4273058It's pretty obvious in retrospective the cause of the hiatus was that the series got axed and the author probably settled with the publisher with two more volumes, which of course wasn't enough to give a proper ending, though I suspect the author was just digging himself a hole with how much he was flip flopping with the guy who decided the only use for his powers was to murder little girls.
>>4273049>The funniest thing is the stupid accusations from "MG" and what the anime did was increase the yuri art and the fanservice character receives little or no attention, so MG's logic has no real basis and is just complaints from people like the evil fat girl.Can someone explain this post to me?
>>4273060>So... axed right?>Can't believe this is the first yuribait yuri manga.>this feels so shit what a rushed shitty axed ending>It just ended right there?>it must've been axed. >Started strong and ended mid.>Wow.. Thats it? Pretty weak ending.>Yeah, axed. >the fact Michiru was a victim was never brought up by Miho (she stole her phone, after all), which means Prez never had to face it before dying and VP is none the wiser about it... and Chapter 1 was just bait. Strong start, really strong mid around Michiru arc and a bit afterwards, then down the slippery slope. Fucking shit manga, to be honest.>this really seems like an abrupt stop>The ending is really rushed
I don't think anyone is really disagreeing the final volumes were a big mess.
>>4273065It started losing the plot when it started focusing on the male character, and how the series painted him as a good guy after he tried to commit mass murder.
>>4273033There's no pointl. Other than to stop expecting originals to go maintext. They won't. WFM was an exception. >BA could've avoided mediocrity with female MC2 words: Girls Frontline. A lot of the problems with BA anime wouldn't be fixed with female MC and Girls Frontline is a perfect example. I don't even know why you mentioned it in a conversation about anime originals like Jelly. BA is a gacha adaptation. and going for a male MC was a choice made for the fanbase that keeps the gacha alive. Yuri fans are extremely secondary to BA. The main audience of that franchise will forever be male self inserters who want a male MC in the anime
>>4273064>A ton of rage because Akira didn't win>None of the comments even mention AkiraSee >>4273065Nobody is saying the ending wasn't rushed. (It very obviously was, considering the amount of plot points that got no resolution) I know people HERE were upset that Akira didn't win, but that's not why the final couple of volumes of Liar Satsuki left a lot to be desired.
>>4273067Girls Frontline had plenty of issues, but Gentianne wasn't one of them.
>>4273064>the fact Michiru was a victim was never brought up by MihoThat's 100% in character for Miho.
>>4273066The author wanted to put him into a grey area yes, but the issue is that the same author also had him laughing like a cartoon villain after he murdered a little girl, so his characterization was all over the place, then he started talking about how he wasn't going to save sensei because saving people just creates a snowball effect and how murdering that person surely would fix it. But no one pointed out to him changing fate by murdering someone of course would also have consequences. This is the reason why I don't believe having 10 more volumes would have helped the author.
It went for 9 fucking volumes and the ending is still rushed? how why
>>4273063Machine-translated slop from an ESL with a single-digit IQ. That's all you need to know.
>>4273075Let me tell you about Bleach.
>>4273075Because the author didn't have an ending in mind and just threw his hands in the air once he was out of ideas.
>>4273070>Akira got absolutely done dirty by this ending.>So satsuki really doesnt end up with akira? What a huge let down. >Pour one out for the Akira fans haha.>Akirabro here, doing absolutely horrendous here.>Akira had like, way more bonding and screen time than Komachi yet Komachi's the pairing we're going with? It kind of feels like she barely interacted with Satsuki
>>4273075There's actually half a volume of denouement after the actual climax, it still feels rushed because people were expecting that to lead into one more climax surrounding the main heroine that was teased at the very start of the series and just never materialized.
>>4273076I want to know who MG is.
>>4273066You keep repeating this bullshit every time the series get brought up, and it's just as retarded every time. The idea of him being painted as a good guy is all in your head because you need some retarded excuse to hate on it.
>>4273076Sure, but this is still not an explanation, I asked for an explanation not your opinion on his post.>>4273082Or what his accusations are.
>>4273075Story-crafting can be hard. It feels like the student council were thrown in so the story could have some antagonists but their ideals were not defined well enough and just started causing alot of problems with the plot. So the story was incohesive for awhile then trying to resolve that mess led to more issues.
>>4273075It's not so much that the ending was rushed, rather there was no ending. The story just stops without a conclusion to many character arcs as if it had been suddenly axed. It's clear that the author didn't know where to take it from there.
>>4273075Because you see anon, some authors don't want their serialization to end, which makes sense it's how they pay for the bread on their tables, so they keep stretching and stretching the story and never actually going anywhere, so when they finally get axed they have to rush the ending. You can have manga with 30+ volumes and still get a rushed ending because the author was still betting this wasn't the volume he was going to finally get axed.
>>4273082>>4273084Who the fuck knows. That ESL has this retarded tendency to obscure his posts with abreviations and scare quotes like he's talking about fucking Voldemort or something.You will never get a straight answer from him because he doesn't actually understand a word of English, only the slop Google Translate provides for him, and he seems to be a low-functioning autist anyway.
>>4273082>>4273084male gaze, the code word many people use to complain about something they don't like or to try to imply that it's not yuri because they don't like it.which is funny when you realize that people who openly hate Male Gaze, defend it or it elements without any irony.
>>4273085The thing that really annoyed me was that just after Michiru died, Satsuki was still treating him the same, including carrying him and making jokes, he was a murderer and she wasn't really angry at him.
>>4273083>The idea of him being painted as a good guy is all in your headThe chapters spent from the POV of the girl that lusted after him, and crying over him after he finally died are not in my head.
>>4273090And what does this has to do with Adachi to Shimamura of all things?
>>4273092>from the POV of the girl that lusted after himYou put the retort to your argument in your own post.
>>4273089Still not an explanation you fucking retard, if you are going to be useless don't answer.>>4273092She cried for like 5 panels and then she came back later to make a speech, she also helped to murder someone and also helped trying to murder Seo, but sure she got away like she did nothing wrong, she learned her lesson lol.
Wasn't the bloody teaser from chapter 1 of Satsuki the nightmare Satsuki had in chapter 25? That would also explain the narration, since it's the chapter that she resolves to save Seo in.
>>4273095My point is that you shouldn't care about anything that retard writes. Learn to identify his posting style and ignore everything he posts.
>>4273093because at the time, the anime had complaints about the many times that the anime focuses on thighs or anything erotic, like the girl with glasses and big tits, which at the end of the day is less popular than the main couple (or not popular at all)You have to consider that Erica the Hutt includes something similar to MG in her rankings and of course, that's a bad thing.
>>4273094No, because after she went on about how he was a good guy even though he tried to kill a bunch of people Satsuki just stood there and took it instead of telling her to fuck off.
>>4273097>Another useless post
>>4273098Ericow's opinions aren't worth the bits they're written on.
>>4273100A character not acting in the way you would have acted doesn't mean you can just force your retarded interpretation on it.
>>4273098So your whole post is about an irrelevant audience to yuri?
>>4273100>Satsuki just stood there and took itThat's pretty much the whole series in a nutshell.
>>4273085>>4273086The story makes more sense if you just read the first or first three chapters and then skip directly to 79 when Komachi reveals her deal. Everything in-between is basically irrelevant to the ending and ignores the developments that took place before then and the resolutions they should've got. I agree with the stretching impression, it's like the author only thought of a short story about Satsuki and Komachi with everything else being incidental.
>>4273067Removing or putting aside the MC may not make the series perfect, but it does present a real improvement, not just BA, but the last 2 Im@s adaptations are ridiculously mediocre by any standard, the "boy" is a dead weight that helps in basically nothing or even more pathetic examples with Fate/Extra and FGO, those cardboard cutouts that the series pretends are protagonists, simply do not work.>>4273071>Girls Frontline had plenty of issues, but Gentianne wasn't one of them.basically thisSomething like Alice Gear Aegis Expansion is far from perfect, but it's a much better series than any of those Gacha adaptations that appeal to waifufags without any irony.
>>4273087Japanese people eat rice, not bread.
>>4273104How is 'maybe the wannabe mass murderer might just not be a good guy, regardless of what this particular girl feels about him' a retarded interpretation?
>>4273106She is taking a lot from Komachi in the ending if you get what I mean
>>4273103The problem is that "she" is in the forefront and many idiots think that she really represents something for the yuri community, when the sad reality is that she is more irrelevant than Kotaku.>>4273105Technically yes, and that audience doesn't affect or make something stop being yuri.
>>4273079Doesn't really seem like "rage"
Personally I had more of an issue with Satsuki rationalizing Komachi helping Seo rig their class to blow up as Komachi being so nice she just wanted to help a marginalized person. Sure, it fits Satsuki's brand of autism but it's also very worrying.

>>4273110>those cardboard cutouts that the series pretends are protagonists, simply do not work.That's just series with mostly female casts but male MCs in a nutshell, be they game adaptations or not.
>>4273118She was right though, Komachi is the perfect lesbian wife
>>4273118Not just that, but it was Komachi that talked to Seo and told Seo how much she liked her old self. It was like she was telling Seo to give up on trying to be a better person. So, in that way, Seo going back to her old ways could be seen as at least partly Komachi's fault.
>>4273121Then why does she just defend her girlfriend from her father's abuse verbally? Akira would've bashed his skull in.
>>4273123The bat probably weights more than Komachi.
>>4273122It was her fault, but Satsuki herself recognized this, Komachi was taking the bad side on purpose because no one ever sided with her
>>4273119>parodyIt's nice but I really want more legit horror yuri
>>4273112The story never tries to present him as a good guy by any stretch of the imagination.
>>4273146There was the chapter that he saved Satsuki. And he even felt guilty that Michiru's death made Satsuki so sad. So the story made certain he was never treated as completely evil.
>>4273150A villain not being 100% evil is not the same as being presented as a good guy, that's just making him a rounded character and not a one-note caricature.You must be severely media-illiterate if you don't understand something as simple as this.
prez should have been a girl
>>4273167The messaging in the series was a mess. The final chapter had the teacher narrate that everyone is needed, even people like Seo and the Prez.
>>4273172He sure acted like one.
>>4273167NTA but the issue is that the way he is portrayed is very inconsistent from arc to arc, which would been fine if the author was portraying as him having doubts himself, but ultimately it felt like murdering Michiru was just not relevant for either his character or Satsuki.
Uh oh
>>4273167NTA but tell that to the assblasted shonenfags and to the few people that watched Regalia. Sometimes if you didn't had time or a plan for your villain it's better to keep them as a caricature.
Do we agree that the author should stop pussyfooting and go full yuri from the start in the next serialization?
>>4273180It amazes me the number of authors that still write what are basically yuri series, stop just short of direct confirmation, and the series is never labeled as yuri in Japan.That's why Mangadex dropped the yuri tag with Satsuki. There was no confirmation of anything for the leads. And I doubt Komachi called Satsuki's father "dad" is going to budge them on that.
>>4273179Regalia was great so shut up
>>4273180>>4273184Which is curious, because Liar Satsuki was selling around 10k each volume, surely having an actual yuri plot would not have harmed it.As for the mangadex tag, it's just what some uploader decided, maybe noighd himself, it's not consistent between works, you have stuff that arguably does not even count as subtext with the GL tag.
>>4273185It was, until they tried to humanize the evil shota that was just a evil shota for 11 episodes, not that it ruined the anime or anything but that part was a waste of time.
>>4273190I don't even remember him, the thing I remember the most is that the yaya somehow ended with two lolis.
>>4273178Oneeloli SEXO
>>4273173Which is in line with the series' themes.
>>4273197With the themes yes, not with the characters.
Has Aniplex ever produced a yuri anime during its entire existence? Like actually greenlit an anime adaptation of a yuri manga or light novel?
Akira was a great character and would love to see more like her in Yuri manga. Komachi was just a boring moeblob with schizo moments.
>>4273205Go back to learning elementary school math Sao.
>>4273204I will thrown some names, you decide>Akebi>Madoka>Slow Start>Nanoha>Hidamari Sketch>Naoko San
Komachi absent for like 6 volumes, strange writing.
>>4273218She had some appearances, like uuuh that time she pried Satsuki's fingers off a staircase to kill her.Maybe it's true, they do make for a perfect yuri couple.
>>4273218The author probably was afraid of having too much of her would affect his plans, but ultimately he just failed to properly integrate her into his side plot and when he realized this it was too late.
Not that the author bias wasn't obvious, this panel came just after Satsuki thinking about hanging in a platonic way with Akira, it's a subtle heart ballon if you can't tell lol.
>>4273211No, then.
>>4273229
Shiho goods and Ren goods
>>4273242>>4273246>solo shit for waifufags
>>4273248Most nip twitters I have seen posting those goods are from girls though. Not sure if they relate to them or just want a girlfriend like them, maybe two girlfriends.
>>4273219Komachads I kneel.
>>4273252Funny enough some people are saying there was a line to buy those and they were surprised there were that many people buying this.
>>4273252Because it's female gaze yuri.
>Cover looks nothing like the author art
>>4273211>NanohaThat's King Records.
>>4273272The anime yes, some of the movies were produced by aniplex.
I cant be invested in these "trolley problems" strories like satsuki. I only think no human should be in a situation where they have life/death power over other people. Am I too naive and boring.
>>4273279It's not much of a trolley problem when you literally have the power to stop it.
>>4273281She's only delaying the inevitable and running away from coming to terms with death. Deaths were getting more frequent and she surrounded herself with psychos she naively forced to get along. Which is why the ending doesn't feel rushed but nonexistent. The story stops the moment she accepts Komachi as her wife without resolving the underlying issues. Komachi is a walking trolley problem and the solution was I'm so in love with this trolley I'll hope I get over my trauma by the time she runs someone over. Ironically for those who said the ending made it not yuri, the ending hides behind yuri to distract you from everything else. And if Komachi had been more consistently a love interest that might have been okay.
>>4273288WELL ANON you know what? I actually agree with you, it's basically just a happy ending for the sake of having an ending. It would have been far better to have Satsuki actually falling in love with Komachi and having to face the fact allowing Komachi to live would mean allowing other to die and then Satsuki getting mindbroken by it but ultimately finding happiness and confort in death herself, as they walk over the corpses of everyone else
>>4273289*except Miho who walks away from the massacre unscathed
>>4273290Mihois too busy eating Akira's mom and no I am not making a joke, she literally is out travelling with Akira's mom in the prologue, Akira got cucked out of a girlfriend and her own mother.
>>4273272Fuck King Records.
>>4273289In that type of story, would you say Life Is Strange managed to pull off the choice between everyone else and the love interest better?
Could someone find the source for this? I've tried a bunch of search engines but I can't find it
>>4273298Sorry anon but I don't own a nintendo playstation so I never played it.
Didnt the liar satsuki author say something about not caring about yuri and just thought it would make an interesting premise or something on twitter? i remember it getting posted here once and people throwing a fit
>>4273302Nevermind found it
>>4273298I dropped Life is Strange like a radioactive potato the moment Max said that one Final Fantasy movie was the best ever.Standards must be maintained!
>>4273307No, he said he wasn't a yuri reader, later he read a ghost yuri manga that started with a girl killing herself to prove how much she loved the other and said he wanted to write something like that.
>>4273312It was not that bad.
>>4273298Unarguably since Max is forced to let either Chloe or the town die and the vast majority of the story focuses on Max's relationship with Chloe. But there's no ideological conflict beyond Max not wanting her BFF/GF to die. Satsuki deals with a wider variety of ethical dilemmas and her story's about personal growth and harem building over helping any particular person, even though both series of events hinge on the MC saving their love interest to start. So structurally I think LiS would always have the edge. It's an interesting comparison.>>4273307It was like "yuri isn't my preferred genre to read but I end up finding a lot of it interesting" which is the kind of nothing statement you can expect this thread to run through 100 posts over on a slow day.
>>4273315Satsuki's issue is that those ethical dilemmas don't really go anywhere. She accepts living with Komachi for now, but admits that she may be forced to kill her in the future. The manga just doesn't go that far.And Satsuki can't save everyone when Komachi's presence can do things like randomly cause their organs to fail, like her father's heart.
>>4273316I don't think Satsuki can see the dead that cannot be saved.
>>4273314

>>4273320Correct, but let's not summon the A** from videogames.

>>4273517That isn't poly.
They postpone the release so they can add more yuri.source: my cousin's gf working at Aniplex.
>>4273530
>>4273188>Satsuki was selling around 10k each volumeI don't think a series selling 10k each volume suddenly decides to go print on demand on some unknown site for the last two volumes. They now increased the price of the volumes to 3000 yen, it's fucking crazy.https://lifetunes-mall.jp/shop/g/gK20240033/I'm against pre-orders but thank god I pre-ordered it (not that I had any other choice) when it was 990 yen (+ 345 shipping + 500 proxy fee). This is not the treatment you give to a series selling 10k each volume. Volume 7 was 650 yen and it was released normally, then they said fuck you to all the readers who bought the series until then and forced everyone to buy from a single site never heard before.
>>4273529its a type of poly.
>>4273536it stopped being one when the fucker died

>>4273530It's because they're busy with Monogatari
I havent watched anime in like 5 months.
>>4273547I personally spend ~8 months/year rewatching shows so I’m always watching something even if there was nothing interesting in the past few seasons
>>4273547I keep downloading ongoing anime to binge someday but they rarely capture me anymore like manga does.
>>4273552The trick is to watch them in 2x
>>4273548>>4273552some anime have been rotting on my pc for 10+ years
>>4273555cringe
>>4273535They actually gave us sales numbers, it's actually a little better than 10k each volume, like 12k each volume, but still ridiculous low, usually the standard series published as yuri sells around 15k to 20k.The printing on demand IMO is just a consequence of the author fighting with the publisher, basically the publisher fucking with him by saying they will take zero risk in his work.
>>4273555I’d rather never watch anime again than watch anything in 2x.
>>4269090Not hot springs, but hot shower is great too. Naoi has a cool plaid shirt, btw.
Can you even call yourselves yuri fans if you're not willing to give your blood for it?
https://x.com/rasuko_okuma/status/1824415822934089831my girl is going crazy again
>>4273568We need a list of the most dangerous yuri authors
>>4273568Oh, is the drama going further than the anime storywise?
>>4273558The publisher is only fucking with the readers. If it wasn't posted here before I wouldn't even know I had to preorder the last two volumes on that site. A lot of readers don't know about that and will remain waiting for the last two volumes to be released like the 7 previous ones, so they're just losing money.>>4273568I refuse to watch it until the episode will be uploaded. Damn drama in the hands of a single uploader. AyaHiro is late too.
>>4273568What did she mean by this?
>>4273576the next part was so funny to me, with her inerting herself like a ghost photo
>>4273576I hope this is out of context because it looks like a self-insert denying yuri since I don't see Umika -> Yuu and Raimon <-> Haruno.
>>4273581She's been leaning into the Yuu/Umika/Matataki love triangle for a while as a joke while commentating the live action and she had all four actresses tell her "I love you" during a recent livestream.
i'm afraid many yuri authors are idol fans in the first place
>>4273574>so they're just losing money.Yes, they are basically killing potential sales in favor of not risking overshipping.
>>4273583to be fair that's just very common in general in those barbaric lands of the East
>>4273581Well she is a woman too, so it's still yuri lol.>>4273582>Joke>Literally every time Yuu and Umika get together you see Matataki seething in the manga.
>>4273568>>4273576She is really buiding up this creepy online persona lol
>>4273593she's cute and a mangaka so it's ok, it's charming
>>4273576Why is she still naked?
the old women make up manga would a good live action
Why do western companies hate physical media so much? None of these shows have DVD's or Blurays here yet
>>4273598mega tldr, Investors and shareholders are cunts
>>4273595Pic related.>>4273589Self-inserting is not yuri.
>>4269933>>4270043It's downright stupid when people answer questions that aren't asked, it's like taking a survey about people's favorite meat and they answer with global warming.>>What did you drop /u/?I never drop anything, I'm enjoying everything that has yuri on different levels and by the way I'm really hating what has het even more
>>4273604>I never drop anythingive heard a few people say this, and it always baffles me. Surely you would know whether a show interests you by three episodes max
>>4273600It's the author self insert though, not the reader.
>>4273598Because not a single person in the west buy BDs
>>4273607i do :(
>>4273606Did I stutter?
>>4273604>>4273605I also never drop anything, but it’s because I make sure the shows I watch are 100% yuri beforehand
>>4273610It's just not the same thing, it's not a template, it's literally the female author shipping herself with the seyuus *characters.
>>4273612i the complete opposite, i drop shows for petty reasons. I dropped burst angel halfway through the first episode because the male self-insert annoyed me, and idropped dragon maid halfway through the first season when the shota showed up for example
>>4273622>Not when the two faggots showed upSuspicious
>>4273563It's basically prostitution. Kudou paid Naoi money to humiliate her. And she looks like her recent self on the page so this could still be happening.
>>4273605If I pick up something I watch it till the end, even if I hate that piece of shit, if it has sequels I have to watch that piece of shit too, even if I hate every moment of watching it (people complain about Isekai, but romcoms are the real cancer of anime/manga)>>Surely you would know whether a show interests you by three episodes maxThe rule of the first 3 episodes is not a good method in reality, it only gives you a very superficial view of something, the problem is not to discard something with only 3 episodes, but that many people act as experts of that series with only those 3 episodes.>>4273612That's like playing a game on easy for fear of "dying", not a problem for yuri series, but a problem for series that have yuri, but whose quality or elements may not be to everyone's liking.
>>4273631>if it has sequels I have to watch that piece of shit too, even if I hate every moment of watching itokay but why though
What are some fun kids anime with yuri? I watched Anne of Green gables and like it a lot. No magical girls please.

>>4273636In order to have a real understanding of what makes something bad or overrated, many people give judgments in an extreme way, they don't look at something but criticize it (like it happens with yuri almost all the time) but they glorify something based on their biased judgment (like it happens with het all the time)I want to have a real assessment and have a basis to criticize something, it also helps me enjoy what is decent at worst (but is unfairly criticized)

ZenKowa chapter 15 summary. Kurumi and Naoi are hanging out at Kurumi's house. Kurumi's starting to get flustered by her, but things still don't progress on the physical front. Kudou finds Naoi again sometime after the day she spotted her with Kurumi. Kudou guilt trips Naoi and bribes her with money into taking up her role as dom again. Saying it's Naoi's fault that she's like this now. Naoi sprays Kudou with a shower hose in a hotel while both are fully clothed, with Kudou begging to be destroyed more, while Naoi tells her to shut up. Meanwhile, an unstable Kokoro broke into Kurumi's house while she was asleep, presumably molested her while she was sleeping since you see her climbing over a sleeping Kurumi in one panel, and then acts like she's a housewife when Kurumi wakes up and wonders who the hell left food by her bedside.
Psychodekopathy>>4273576Why do all the daylight scenes look as if someone cranked the bloom settings to "early 2000s shooter game" levels? And the low light scenes darkened to horror movie?
>>4273689Wow, Kokoro's going full Misery on Kurumi. I wonder if Kokoro will somehow trap her in the house. There was already the fake dating arc, so I doubt Kurumi would be convinced to go along with her a second time.Plus, Kokoro's obviously schizo at this point. Though it's hard to say what Kurumi's reaction would be if she finds out about Naoi meeting up with Kudou for dom sessions. But in that case, she might just end up physically assaulting Naoi again.
None of the great yuri shows of the past season were left out of the esteemed editorial staff.
>>4273738Those are the top 3 yuri anime of last season.
>>4273740Nah, I only didn't regret watching Seyuu Radio, but Sasakoi even with the bad animation was better than all of them.
>>4101540>>4154162>>4203403>>4255071>>4260849
>>4273743Sasakoi's a decent manga and a shit anime. Worse than even Jelly
>>4273748You are just weird and a bad person.
>>4273750They couldn't even finish making it, pal.
Sasakoi is an awful manga and even worse anime
>>4273743But boobs groping got backpedalled.
>>4273738Waiting for them to add all of P.A. Works' summer output.
>>4273754Unlike the others Seyuu Radio didn't end there.
>>4273752And it's still better
>>4273738
>>4273738And they took a place of honor alongside other great yuri shows such as Kimi no Na wa, Dungeon Meshi, Kaguya-sama.
>>4273764At least Kaguya had a kiss
>>4273764The funny thing is that there have been people on this same board who defend those as yuri and look for any excuse to be right.
>>4273766>people on the yuri board try to interpret things through a yuri lens whenever possibleUh, of course. Why are you even posting here if that's weird to you lol
>>4273769Both Your name and Dungeon Meshi are obvious stretch, Kaguya had actually yuri content that was of course uncommited but not killed.
>>4273771I'm an embarrassingly big fan of Your Name yet I can't figure out what about it could be remotely interpreted as yuri.
>>4273771All three are yuri actually.
Is there something like Donald Duck but yuri?
>>4273764>Dungeon MeshiTell that to the people acting like Farcille are the beat gayest thing ever instead of generic mild subtext at bestWhat I expect from how people talk: Fantasy YagaKimiWhat I get: Fantasy MahiKano at best
>>4273775Yuru Yuri? Unless you are literally talking about walking animals or something
>>4273757And? When there’s no progress after shitton of volumes, might as well be the same shit
>>4273778The possibility is still there so you can't say it backpadelled until the end.
>>4273765>>4273769>>4273773
>>4273776>What I get: Fantasy MahiKano at bestthat would imply at least something decent, Dungeon Meshi is about as overrated as mainstream can get, the relationship they espouse is nothing special and what I see in the series is no different than all the other fantasy I've already seen during my life and it's not special enough to really give a shit about.I even remember reading complaints that the series wasn't as popular as the creators and fans would like, then a comment section filled with people making very harsh excuses.
>>4273771>>4273772Popular series are always seen as "positive examples" of things that aren't even in the actual content or aren't as significant as many would like to pretend, remember the professional critic glorifying YoI and shitting on yuri as a genre.
>>4273795In some cases like the 2.5D girlfriend it was just trolling though.
>>4273802I think that case is more similar to Dungeon Meshi, what I saw was people omitting a lot of important details, while only mentioning what was convenient for them, not a complete lie but still dishonest.
>>4273738>>4273764itsnt the goal to talk about not yuri anime but with some yuri things you can like in them
>>4273802Not from what I've seen.

But unfortunately it did not take into account some peculiarities of mental development of a part of the local public, according to whom the very fact of mentioning in this column somehow equates all the shows mentioned in it.
>>4273829Is it the fault of the author of the column or similar to all those cases of people complaining about articles and videos just because of the title and not bothering to see/read the whole thing?

>>4273738This art is kinda funny, I like it
>>4272866As an autist I appreciated all the detailed electronic warfare shit, but you're also completely right.Most of the piracy actually being insurance fraud is the funniest shit though.
A new thread.>>4273499
>>4274108Why is picrel so het
>>4274125Because there's an autism war being played out over our heads and the midst refuse to do anything about it.
Just make a new thread instead using obvious schizo op one
>>4274183Mods will delete the newer thread and force the one with the hetshit OP image because it's the one made earlier. Any newer thread made after that will be considered spam and deletedGotta wait until that thread reaches post or image limit and goes down the pages
>>4274202Just report and dont use the bait thread you fag
>>4274253>if you report the mods will magically take down the threadThere is no rule against fanart of hetshit as OP pictures, so the thread is fine by the mods. Stop being a retard. People will use the thread eventually, since there can't be another. Mods will only delete the thread if it's made early
>Kanojo ga Onii-chan ni Nattara Shitai 10 no KotoNot to judge a manga by its title but is it really worth reading? Does it get any better later?Also, why older brother anyway, don't see much difference from older sister
>>4274273There should be.
>>4274329It's just roles, but ultimately it doesn't matter, it's just your typical CGDCT but with some explicit yuri
>>4274332Not really.
>>4274329>Also, why older brother anyway, don't see much difference from older sisterIt's wackier and therefore more attention-grabbing that way.
>>4274342Why not? This is the yuri board.
>>4274346Which is precisely why such a rule would be retarded, it would place an arbitrary limit on the kind of yuri that can be posted.
>>4274350No, it would prevent not yuri to be posted
>>4274361
>not a single yuri anime next season >will still somehow find a way to procrastinate watching stuff from my backlogcant wait
Yuniko sure has a lot of oneesan-tachi who take her to restaurants.
>>4274363>no argument
>>4274361Yuri fanart is still yuri. Even if the source is the most het show ever
Let's look at the fanart issue another way: Imagine fanart of the YagaKimi girls kissing guys. No one would say the fanart is yuri because the source is yuri.Same applies to fanart of girls kissing and fucking girls even if they're het in the source. No one'd say such images are het
>>4274470It's fine to post yuri fanart and doujin of het series, the issue is posting screenshots like they were doing with Hibike and trying to gaslight other users there was any yuri content there
>>4274473There's some yuri subtext between some of the older pairs, not Kumiko and Reina.
>>4274479While I disagree, the posts in question were all about Kumiko and Reina.
>>4274479Even those couples are mediocre at best, just overrated garbage inflated by hype.
>>4274482What's bad about them?
>>4274484There is no romance, it's literally girls being drama queens over trivial shit.
>>4274484>>4274487>it's literally girls being drama queens over trivial shit.It's worse when you realize that's completely intentional.Another thing people have to accept about eupho is that this is nothing more than a waifu series.
>>4274487The drama in question is the girls trying to get the attention of another girl they're interested in. And in a series that represents the romantic relationship of the main character and her male love interest with a hairpin, it's suspect that girls like Asuka and Kaori also have matching hair accessories as well.>>4274491The novels weren't intended to appeal to that crowd.
>>4274491The original novels were not meant to be a waifu series, but the anime definitely went for this angle.>>4274492It's just the author writing style, romantizing every single little thing so you think they are more important they actually are meant to be.
>>4274503The author has also written yuri and never gave them male loves like she did with the majority of the girls, so it's possible that's what she meant as well.
>>4274506>never gave them male lovesHer second "yuri" story literally had one of them married to a man.
>>4274506The author wrote yuri because she was invited for a yuri anthology full of non yuri authors were half did in fact not write yuri at all, though to her credit she did, but the point is even in that story she is very consistent in portraying romance in the same tone as she did in Hibike and not just girls obsessing over nothing.
>>4274492>>4274503>>4274511>>4274512Don't reply to ESL retards, please.
>>4274511He is talking about the girls from Hibike (not Kumimo or Reina)
>>4274511Cheating yuri exists. If anything, this is just the first before a writes a corrective novel where Kumiko finally breaks up Shuichi.>>4274512And she said that she was more suited to this theme than she thought and wanted to write about it further.>just girls obsessing over nothingThe bulk of Asuka/Kaori isn't really about that though.
>>4274515>Cheating yuri existsYes, KyoKano. But what you're talking about is cheating bishit.
>>4274515Anon, the bulk of her writting is, this is the main issue here, every fucking thing is dramatized to the point it's impossible to argue in any way. Call me when she works in a yuri serialization and not a page of text.
>>4274518Two bisexual women in a relationship with each other is a lesbian relationship
>>4274521No, it's not and it's not yuri.
>>4274520>it's impossible to argue in any way.So you at least concede that it's possible, which is all I'm arguing for.
>>4274524Yes it is lol
>>4274528It's just too little, you could argue the same of any two female friends with no boyfriends, can you ship them? Yes. Can you interpret those interactions as subtext when they are nothing special in comparison to even the protagonists who do not end in yuri? Personally I find it a stretch, though no one can talk for the author.
>>4274532>you could argue the same of any two female friends with no boyfriendsHow many female friends live together in anime and have no male love interests?>hey are nothing special in comparisonThey are certainly more affectionate than Kumiko/Shuicihi's relationship. Also it's funny that you bring up Kumiko/Reina's relationship, when even Asuka thinks that they're dating.
>>4274537>How many female friends live together in anime and have no male love interests?There are several examples, but the difference is that they are better (although even worse) managed, but many share a small detail that everyone ignores, which is that it is something temporary.>>They are certainly more affectionate than Kumiko/Shuicihi's relationship.That's the problem, shoe is considered something genuine and undeniably romantic, but that's something it shares with the vast majority of het relationships, 2 characters without chemistry that the plot tries very hard to make a couple.Still, Het in Eupho is the only answer, as stupid as it sounds.
>>4274542The fact that you didn't name any isn't a good sign but nothing about their living arrangements makes it think that its temporary. The fact that they're still together after high school is a already strange enough.>shoe is considered something genuineI actually got the opposite interpretation. I remember reading the author's words somewhere about how she wanted to show that female relationships were more important than romantic ones with guys, which is why Reina gets better with the help of Kumiko's friendship and her crush on Taki only seems to hold her back.
>>4274548roommates, it is something that many series (not just anime) do especially when the characters are in college, it is even a recurring fact in real life, there are also other cases of adults and people with jobs who live in the same house because it is cheaper that way.>>I actually got the opposite interpretation. You are wrong, in short and as it may sound, what she was trying to say is "friendship lasts longer than love" not the exact words, but that is the point, those relationships are important, but they were never intended to be romantic, it is similar to considering that the memory of a person is more important than being with that person.This series does not deserve any kind of dedication or devotion, it is similar to the original Im@s games (not the anime) no matter what the fans want or pretend, this is Het.
>>4274550Yes roommates exist, but I'm talking about roomates that are emotionally close and never show interest in guys, which is a much smaller subset.>no matter what the fans want or pretend, this is Het.I don't think I've said that Kumiko/Reina's relationship in Hibike is yuri. I even described it as friendship. We're talking about one relationship that doesn't have any external heterosexual (or separation in the case of Mizore/Nozomi) elements involved.
>>4274537>How many female friends live together in anime and have no male love interests?And sharing a dorm is a relevant qualifier because? You can also ask me to find two girls who don't have male love interests and are participating in a chess tournament and it would be as relevant.>They are certainly more affectionate than Kumiko/Shuicihi's relationship. Also it's funny that you bring up Kumiko/Reina's relationship, when even Asuka thinks that they're dating.Because again, this is exactly how the author writes, she romantizes friendship and writes mundane boring romances that are basically both characters playing the role of girlfriend and boyfriend for the sake of characterization and plot.
>>4274557The girls in the tournament wouldn't be emotionally close like Asuka/Kaori, who are living together despite going to different universities, which takes some coordination and management on their part rather than being out of convenience if they went to same one. In fact, she has to beg Asuka so that they can live together.>https://dic.pixiv.net/a/中世古香織#h3_9>「私、ここまでほかの誰かと仲良くなりたいって思ったことなかったの。一生で、多分あすかだけ」>親愛以上のものをあすかから欲するために彼女のそばにいることを願い、彼女を独占することにささやかな優越感を覚えるようになっている。You can see that there's clearly a selfish aspect to her love.>「あすかへの想いは友情以上のものがある」Even KyoAni thinks that there's more to the relationship than friendship.
>>4274571Oh yes, only living together you can be emotionally close, just stop. Every fucking thing just circles back to how the author writes, she would write friends confessing their love to each other and then marrying different people.
>>4274576You ignored the fact that KyoAni confirmed there was more than friendship there, so they agree with my interpretation of their relationship over yours. And this is a studio that isn't too fond of yuri (and had the author's blessing when writing this).>久美子も彼女たち二人の関係性を探ることは「危険な一線を越えそう」として控えるようにしている。Even Kumiko in the original novels feels that their relationship is ambiguous enough to make a comment on it. So in universe, it's ambiguous.
>>4274581No anon, you are confusing what I am saying, I am not saying it does not look romantic to you or for other characters in the story, I am saying this is consistent with how the author always writes and this includes her other works too, it looks romantic on purpose, it's literally the point of her writing, to spice fucking rice.
>>4274588Well if it looks romantic, there's more to the relationship than just platonic feelings, and there's nothing to contradict that it's romantic, then maybe it is romantic. Kumiko and Reina's relationship is never said to be ambiguous in contrast.
>>4274600No, it just means it looks romantic, whether it's really romantic or not is anyone's guess because the author portrays every friendship in a emotionally disonest way because this way she can create drama from nowhere.
>>4274604Well, KyoAni took a guess and the author didn't correct them, so that would make it lean more in that direction.
>>4274607Did they? There is a whole universe of bullshit words they can come with between more than friends and lovers, but guess what they don't need to because anyone who ever asked about it just got ignored.
>>4274610This wasn't in response to someone who asked during in an interview but in an official BD booklet.
>>4274617Yes, this is what I am saying to you, they already gave you a non answer, they won't give you more.
>>4274636>it's a non-answer because I say soYou're only arguing for the worst possible interpretations because you don't want to be compared to the delusional people who thought Reina/Kumiko were gay. There is more than enough evidence, from the series to the creators, to suggest something more than friendship is going on. The same arguments you're making could be applied to any subtext yuri series.
>>4274642Yes anon, because this is inherently of subtext which is interpretative and subjetive by nature, as long it remains subtext it will always have deniability, the only thing that changes is the context provided and how plausible it sounds to the reader and this is the point I am making to you all along, when the author writes everything looking romantic, even when it in fact is disproven by story itself, it puts in question any portrayal of the characters which looks romantic.
May all Hibike discussions last into the next century
>>4274647>even when it in fact is disproven by story itselfAll of those romantic-looking friendships were shown alongside their heterosexual love interests. There was no sudden rug-pull. If she was going for that, they would have made it explicitly clear it was friendship from the beginning like the others.
>>4274669I meant in regards to the protagonists, once the author already showed that the portrayal of those emotions is disonest it inherently becomes a counter argument for every else, whether it's really the case or not is not the point.
>>4274671Visually it might be dishonest, but not narratively because of the aforementioned love interests.
The episode is finally out and there is a bad alien in it.https://youtu.be/9l3WxpYTZz0?t=2354>Should I give her my water? It's a special, yellow water though">she's talking about beerY-yeah, that's what I was thinking about, it couldn't be anything elseI thought at the end she went "yobai!" but it went full horror.
