The Old Live Action Thread is Archived, long live the Live Action Thread.Japanese Yuri, Thai GLs (or Thai yuri, watchamacallit), Western Despair and everything between.Please stick to media/series/films and don't discuss shipping irl people here, fellow ThaiGL neesans, this is not the place.Pluribus ep.5 dropped earlier due to an amerifestivus. Go watch it.Old Thread: >>4470313
I was watching A Man on the Inside which is just comedy show with a non/u/ MC that didn't have anything at first but it always felt like a possibility based on a few interactions between side character. Season 2 was giving little hints during the season and confirmed it at the last ep. Fun finding /u/ in the wild and I'm guessing season 3 will feature them going on dates which is nice.
I'll shit on GMM any chance I get, but props to them for showing the pilot trailers when they announce their shows. And also announcing the GLs first during their stream compared to WeTV, where theirs were announced at the tail end after showing a shit ton of BLs.
>>4498126They now GL is the new hotness.
It's been more than a month since Queendom ended, but I still think it had the perfect final scene (and music!!!) of all the shows I've watched. The cake scene, my god.
Pretty good if you don't mind unhappy stuff. The music doesn't fit and the love scenes were awkward, but quite memorable overall.
Wicked: For Good is an odd film. They go all in on the Glinda/Elphaba relationship and Ariana Grande in particular plays her character as a turbo lesbian, so it's kind of awkward whenever there's a scene insisting she's supposed to be in love with Fiyero.I wasn't really into it. It just feels dumb to emphasize the subtext so much that it hurts the surface meaning while still being too cowardly to just make it a lesbian love story.
>>4498101>>4498258Don't forget to link the Special Deleted Scene from Queendom for new visitors, so it will be the most watched video on their channel, forcing them to give Arhoung and Pam a sequel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojey-aO_Gyoor link any of the highlights, spoiler for Ep.10 thoughhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMP8LB-M_v0
>>4498303I recently learned that this deleted scene was probably the last scene the pair filmed after they finished filming for the show. So yeah, WeTV better fucking not fumble this. It's a huge shame WeTV didn't make a highlight for the cake scene, I have no doubt in my mind it would have similar views to the EP10 highlight. I wonder if it's because that's the literal last scene of the show. Apparently 4E will start airing in January if there are no issues.
>>4498303>10m...Insane
Anyone watch "her kiss my libido?" the Kickstarter had the movie released early before the theatrical run in Japan
>>4498281I didn't like it either, it had such a weird pacing, some scenes were so quick while others dragged on forever. I do feel like they significantly toned down the lesbian subtext from the first movie because there was gonna be the whole thing with Fiyero, but it's so awkward. Elphaba constantly looks like she gives 0 shit about him during at least the first half of the movie, then all of a sudden the girls are fighting over him and it all feels so fake. I liked the scene where they were play-fighting though that was cute and gay
>>4498419Its pretty clear that Fiyero and Glinda marriage is a sham, basically like Glinda's marriage in the book.It kinda has more gravitas now because its clear both of them are in love with Elphie.Personally i'm mostly ok with Maguire's leaving that subtext in the books while crying to the winds that they are canon, at least Glinda's feelings...i have more issues with the Pip/Ozma bullshit he pulled, and how Ozma/Dorothy is ignored in favor of edgy quasifaggotry and hetfaggotry.
>>4498422I should actually read the book, I guess I'd understand some of the decisions they took for the movie better.
>>4498429As someone that 'liked' the book is worth it if you loved the movies, but i would think better off going down the entire series.Its kinda like how If you get into Interview With The Vampire via movie/show you might want to peace out after Queen Of The Damned or The Body Thief because...oh boy it gets so damn stupid and erratic and bad.sorry for the offtopic stuff.
>>4498340>Apparently 4E will start airing in January if there are no issues.I think they are starting with Freenbecky's show.
A lot of people are noticing how the social media of the actresses from Enemies With Benefit basically went into overdrive posting stuff...i think they are gonna release this one first.
Today's episode of Player was great, only one or one and a half more episodes of suffering before another tone shift.Next episode seems to be Ploy centric.Stranger Things 5 vol 1 has some development on Robin and Vicky but only for like 3 mins of screentime together, which is honestly a lot more /u/ than I was expecting from this series.>>4498446Nope, a long time ago hey said the airing order would be Earth (AppleMim), Water (Englot), Air (FB), Fire (the 2 ex BNK48, don't remember their names).
Wonder if Her will get scrapped. Everything surrounding the plot sounds bad and full of controversy. The BL side had a project scrapped but that was because it affected China money.
>>4498700It's just a pilot. They can rewrite everything. They're already changing the narrative of transitioning as part of revenge plan to some other unknown reason. Not getting canceled because it's the most popular "GL" pilot out of the 8 cause of NamtanFilm.
>>4498700Rough waters indeedThe fact that the pro-trans community is the loudest demanding cancellation unless the show meets impossible high standards essentially turning it into a transcentric show.All the while GL fans demand it to be as little trans focused as possible, preferably not at all, changing the plot to ghost possession or reverse trans (she just saw herself as a boy, but was a girl all the time) or anything so that Namtans character never was a boy. If it weren't for their most popular couple that shit would tank so hard, but they seem determined to make it happen - There are people who thoroughly support it, I don't know where the majority lies, I only know if it remains unchanged, I skip it. Don't care for trans plotlines.

>>4498726Honestly feels like they're bullshitting because that was always the plan but had to backtrack because the reaction was so bad. If the production already <knew> they were going to get some flak for this, they should've done a better job with the pilot to alleviate some of that.>>4498735Minus the man, they should've done a reincarnation story. That shit's real popular in Asia. >I only know if it remains unchanged, I skip it.Same, even if involves a couple I really like. After watching all the pilots, I'm super excited for Wish Upon a Star. I love me a good time-travel story and I wonder if this one will also include mystery?
>>4498700I don't think its gonna get scrapped, they either are gonna push it back to the end of the year intact or they are gonna do something like make Nantam the sister of the killed dude or something like that.
>>4498771>>4498773I assume Ditto, Moonshadow, EWB and Love's Echoes are gonna remain untouched, they feel perfect.Oxytoxin kinda feels Korean, in a really not GLway if you get my drift.And Her is a mess, basically that shitty Michelle Rodriguez film from the 10s lmao
>>4498632I assume starting with the one that has a princess, an evil twin princess, assassins and shit like that would be weird considering the rest of the novels!
Not GMMTV but this dropped last week?>>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mrm0Ej8e_YwIt looks super hot.
>>4498789Looks hot af and I love Meena and Aom. Miss Grand shows quality is on the meh side but maybe this one will be better than the other three.>>4498700Rant about the non GL show Her:At this point it won't get cancelled and they'll probably keep stuff as is in the pilot because a similar show (trans female revenge plot) from 5 years ago was popular at awards and both Snap25 and Namtan wanted more awards out of Pluto.My main gripe is that they call it a GL when it's not. I don't consider trans women actual women and it's insulting to lesbians (main audience for GLs) to call a GL a romance about a biological man a woman. And the writter posting a tweet that it's the "first GL starring a man" before deleting it, pfff, fuck that show and their shit. Still, it'll most likely be a huge hit because of controversy and NTF and will take up space in the GL category for awards on 2026 or 2027.
>>4498782The order I mentioned is the one in which the novels were released, that's the reason they said that'd be the airing order. It's also the inverse order of the trailers' release.
Maybe is my fault for never watching BL for a secondary GL couple but...i don't get the NamtanFilm hype, sure they are hot, like Pluto was ok...kinda but i dunno maybe i should watch more stuff with them before making up my mind.
>>4498817You probably just don't like them and that's valid. I'm a nitpicky bitch so there's only two couples I actually like and the rest I'm neutral/okay with. Luckily, there's so many couples to pick and choose from nowadays. >Player EP9The girls are a sad mess and I loving it. I can't wait for the time-skip. I didn't expect much from this dumb show, but it keeps on delivering on what I wanted to see. Might still be too early to say, but Clairebell is the biggest disappointment for me.
>>4498101Yuribus
I can't even begin to describe how much I love this.
Thanksgiving watchparty anon, what /u/ movies did you end up playing and what did everyone like the best? I am in the mood for a good movie.
>>4499287I watched a lifetime lesbian movie called Under the Christmas Tree while on a flight. It's very good.
>>4498827Are you watching the uncut version of Clairebell? Because they pretty much cut all the sexy scenes out - and some important subplot stuff with Claire's sister. My only complain about the show was interlacing a clairebell sexscene with a het sexscene between the warden and Dao , it was artsy antithesis or whatever but in poor taste if you ask me, both are cut from the youtube version.OP warned me but I was dabbling in brainrot shipbuilding and for some reason the ship Angie/Attar came up (Deedee and Claires Sister in the show), so naturally I thought there will be a second /u/ couple and both actresses are hot... but they were just joking while the maincast was together "if season 2 happens" etc. - looks like they are setting up Deedee and the wardens son, leaving the show with 2 het ships and just one lesbian ship and in that regard I can see why people might dislike it.But still for me this is Top 3, just a few pacing issues, their relationship feels rushed, but they only got 8 episodes so...
>>4499343Yes, I am. Each episode further reinforces my opinion. The sex scenes aren't worth much to me if they did a abysmal job developing the romance between the girls. The plot's also starting to become an even bigger mess than it already was. I just need to turn my brain off for this show and appreciate how pretty it looks. >but they only got 8 episodes so...I hate this excuse. Friendly Rivalry did just fine with essentially 8 episodes and told a cohesive story no matter what issues people have with the GL aspect of the show. If the writing and pacing is already shit, tackling on a few more episodes won't make a difference.
Wait, is Pluribus yuri? Should I watch it?
>>4499383Good ending should be they manage to bring everyone back and the pirate girl ends with MC in it.But knowing the director it will go horribly wrong and it will turn out that the pirate girl real self is straight and will just fuck off making the MC even more miserable in new old world.
>>4499383Yes to both of your questions.It's a very interesting series. If it keeps the quality till the end of the season it'll be the first prestige TV series with a lesbian as a main.
>>4499420I mean, it already is the first prestige TV series with a lesbian as a main, a drop in quality won't change the label. But the quality will decide where it goes in the lesbian canon. Will it be a Killing Eve s4 or a Killing Eve s1
Like A Palette was a pretty cutesy time, a total harmless college romcom so don't expect scissoring, heh, by ep5
>>4499386I don't think theres gonna be a cure for the ayyy parasite, thats a Bravo Vince move.
>tfw The Air is on hold because IDF, that fucking name...owes Becky 20 Million Bahts...It has never been this over.
>>4499522Becky hasn't filmed anything for 4E for two weeks because of the owed money by IDF and contractual limits on her contract with them. I can't be bothered to find the translations from Becky's conference after her BD concert but her intentions are to finish filming her scenes on 4E. She said she has her lawyer setting things with IDF, so we have to wait some weeks to see how it turns out but Becky would be shooting herself in the face with the fans and NorthStar if she jumped ship after filming like a third of her scenes. Apparently she only shows up in The Air, so everyone else has kept on filming their parts, even Freen who show up in all four series.The series will air (pun intended) for sure, the problem is Becky (IDF actually).
>>4498632>Stranger Things 5 vol 1 has some development on Robin and Vicky but only for like 3 mins of screentime together, which is honestly a lot more /u/ than I was expecting from this series.I keep dreading when they're going to ask Vicky to help out with one of their plans, after which she will inevitably die.
>>4499383No it's not a central part of the plot since the wife literally died in the first 10 minutes of the series. And it was never mentioned ever again.
>>4499846>the wife literally died in the first 10 minutes>it was never mentioned ever again.It's wild that you would make it so fucking obvious you have not watched the show.
>>4499863What do you mean? That's basically what happened.
>>4499865No, it really fucking isn't. Helen is brought up all the time, it's a major source of conflict in the show, even before we get to shit like the flashback, or that it's an ongoing plot point that she was merged into Zosia and the others, or the basic fact that the primary relationship of the show isn't Carol and Helen, it's Carol and Zosia.
I'm one of the ten people that loved Only Us, so i started The Secret Of Us, i watched Poisonous Love first and know they are a shared universe.The shit that Earn pulls at the start when she tries to get Falada to talk to her is literally more toxic than most of Poisonous Love final stretch, and that was a mess.Is the novel like this too?Also i think i love Orm...
I think it's funny for a show like Pluribus, in this day and age, to have such an open-and-shut case for the alien invasion being unambiguously bad. They mention the end of racism and war and suffering, but it's obvious to anyone with a brain that it's the same as achieving "world peace" via human extinction.So, and I know I'm not making a brilliant observation here, the lack of any moral dilemma means that the shows entirely revolves around Carol. And not like, Carol as she relates to the rest of humanity, making some grand choice about it (again, only one right answer), but one of two things specific to her: failing to undo it and coping (or killing herself in a bad end idk), or succeeding but having to grapple with the personal consequences re: Zosia. And coping would also obviously involve Zosia.
>>4499969The Others have all but stopped farming, their only forms of nutrients is the dead. So yes this virus not only aims to destroy humanity but also trying to reproduce it's signal to some other unsuspecting civilization. Another thing to note is the hivemind might be syncing via the ionosphere because we're seeing the radio signal interference during that broken down car scene. One weird thing is where are all the pets? Also Carol is 50 where are her parents or family? Why doesn't she care about them?
>>4499975>One weird thing is where are all the pets? I've been wondering the same. The Hive doesn't kill so there should be pets roaming the streets everywhere or they all died during a Carol angry moment. >Also Carol is 50 where are her parents or family? Why doesn't she care about them?Are you the same anon who said the show never mentioned Helen after the first episode? Do you actually watch the show? Carol said her mother sent her to conversion camp when she was young, and Carol never talked to her again, probably the same with the rest of her family if she had any then. Going by the few pictures in her house her only family was her wife.Funny thing is that on the first episode the Hive tried to "turn" Carol by having a guy kiss her, which made her gtf away from them immediately.
>>4500047No, what's conversion therapy?
>>4500063Conversion therapy and conversion camps are a thing USA has (don't know about other countries but they probably do too) in which kids and teens are sent to do activities that try to "make them heterosexual" and "cure them" from homosexuality. They've existed for many decades and they show up once in a while in lesbian/gay US media. The films The Miseducation of Cameron Post and But I'm a Cheerleader (which is a comedy/parody) take place in conversion camps.

>>4499871>mfw Earn is so gay that she is literally allergic to bananas.I just wish the drama wasn't as forced as it is at times.
I'm a couple eps in this and its so much better than Affair, christ!I hope the secretaries fuck eachother tho
>>4500173You're in for a treat in ep 5, anon
>>4500182I hope so.
>>4499846Are you actually watching the series?Like, watching watching and not 90% on your phone and 10% looking up every now and then.
They apparently are going through with the rest of 4Elements, even if IDF owes Freen 10m and she is basically on all the seasons...the whole 'they aren't gay for pay because they aren't getting paid' was absolute kino.
>>4500198gay4free>>4498448I think the Wish Upon a Star couple also started their workshop(?). Feeling like it'll be EWB -> Wish Upon a Star. They're moving fast, not that I'm complaining. I'm so excited for Wish.
>>4500261Somebody in the Girl Rules team posted a pic of ep9 script being written...that shit is not gonna be aired til mid26I assume EWB and Wish are gonna be the first shows for 26 that got announced.The first 4 Elements is gonna be first 2026 GL tho
North Star just published a tweet informing the public that they are the sole owners of the 4Elements saga...which means that The Air is gonna be back on track?
>>4500524Girl Rules has been a mess scheduling-wise. Don't think I've ever seen such an inconsistent filming timeline. They'll film Q3 or something and then there will be a break for weeks or close to a month before they start on Q4. Yeah, there's 3 couples (6 women to schedule for) but they should've planned aheadEWB might be moving fastest I've seen of a GMM GL show.
>>4500598It helps that the two mains seem to be in lust with eachother lmao
GraceAoeyfags is over...but on the other hand that show that was announced last year No Romeo is now Juliet/Juliet and is gonna happen.
>>4500877I haven't heard of GraceOaey for 9 months (more or less directly after Mate they planned a 2nd show), but no news since then and no news is bad news, so yeah I believe its over. I really liked their show til Ep.8 - then the typical Chao Planoy dumpster fire - into marriage. Would've loved to see them with an original story or something more grounded. Oh well. >>No Romeo>>Juliet & Juliette>>4496130So I guess the directors schedule got cleared now.>>4500261>>4500598I wouldn't mind if "Enemies With Benefits" was first in line, and "Wish Upon a Star" second in line sounds nice too...
>Player EP10An entire episode focused on Ploy's POV. Wow, that was hard to watch (in a really good way). Managed to make me tear up. Looking forward to the next ep, looks like their roles are reversed now. I say it every chance I get, but this show is genuinely so good. Glad I didn't stop after the first episode.
The special eps for Love Design are out...to bad i have no time to watch them today...
>Carol got a 4K Blu-ray in September>The Handmaiden still languishing in 500p YouTube quality
>>4500877>>4500916Looking at all the newer couples compared to them, it felt like they put in the least amount of effort in trying to make it work/work together.>>4501133And of course they didn't forget to sneak in a Mind scene. Would like this show a little bit more if they didn't try whitewashing her every chance they could get.
>>4501166The Handmaiden has a 1080p bluray release which I don't remember being in low quality. I'd still kill for a nice 4K release from criterion or a re-release of the special editions from korea redone for 4k though.
Kapook posted today that they are filming EWB and pretty much is gonna come out early next year.
>>4501182I was exaggerating, but I do find the 1080p version disappointing to look at these days.
>>4501177My take is that if you go by the first promo the original idea was having Aok/Mind as the main couple, but things changed when they actually started to develop the show, but some of the focus on Mind stayed...>>4501185Update on this, Kapook basically said they started filming two months before the announcement, and that they are on Q10 and that she filmed a lot with Ciize, EWB is 100% gonna come out on late January.
Love Design ep9 was so damn good! and adorable, i'm going to miss this so fucking bad.I really hope Kao and Jane get a new project together down the line...and i guess i should finally watch Uranus 2324...
>>4501452Yeah, I just saw a similar Twitter post about that theoryhttps://x.com/rinvoke157757/status/1997213385910555013Personally, I think the actresses carried what is otherwise an okay show into an decent one. Especially for Rin.Clairebell EP6 is one of the better episodes compared to the previous ones, which isn't saying much desu.
Like A Palette is basically 23.5: The College Years, its cute and enjoyable.
Apparently Ch3 already announced that Roller Coaster is gonna replace My Safe Zone when it ends, and i think the one about the married couple having kids is gonna follow Roller Coaster.
>mfw i realised in ep2 that the tall blonde from Like a Palette is ms Rati from Secret Of Us!
So long story short, I was looking at watching some Christmas Yuri movies and went on Tubi. Woe and behold, there's a huge list of Hallmark-esque lesbian Christmas movie that have that cheap, but appealing aesthetic. When did these suddenly start showing up? Are they worth watching?
>>4501918>Woe and beholdAnyway, many of them carry enough of that warm feeling you want from a holiday movie, certainly enough to not notice the occasionally very low budget or questionable side character acting. That one is from the goat of holiday /u/ movies and if you watch them you'll recognize alexandra swarens everywhere. She writes, directs and stars in a half dozen movies and they're all very fun and most of them like that one are holiday themed. Any of her movies are good places to start.
I'm finishing The Secret Of Us and holy fuck they are so hot and cute together...i blame Only You direction for whatever they tried to do there, its not Ch3 because My Safe Zone gets really hot at times and they are pretty heavy with the kisses and stuff, too bad the show is bad tbqhI think the divorce novel Lingorm was cast is kinda hot? or was that other novel thats gonna get adapted with the girls from Denied Love?Whatever, i just love Lingorm!
>>4501964This is the first I'm hearing of this, do you have a favorite?
Theres a GL ship in that new het kdrama...Love Exe?Its between a cute girl in a wheelchair and one of the main girls friends...looks cute but its korean tv so, you know...
>>4502153Looking For Her and City of Trees both focus on returning home for the holidays but have different approaches to the story, but both were fun to watch in their own ways. Really can't go wrong just waiting for a rainy or snowy day and picking one at random though.
>>4502199Just stick to lifetime since they apparently like having happy gay/les characters when their movies call for it
>>4502180It's just crazy that westoids can't make these characters happy unless in their context. Am I Okay? Was written by Tig Nataro and her wife and she gets nothing at the end of the movie.
>>4502201That movie feel like a teen coming of age film for a 35yo woman, what a waste.
>>4502205Which would have been fine if she got something other than repairing her friendship that really wasn't her fault that it ended for a bit and got experimented on
>>4502149>i blame Only You direction for whatever they tried to do thereThe thing is that TSOU's director is also OY's director and screenwriter. I honestly think they all said "fuck it, we'll release this half baked series and fans will eat it up", and we kinda did because the series was lame but it wasn't a flop viewer wise.And I'm really loving My Safe Zone, I don't care it's kinda bad too, just turn on your suspension of disbelief and enjoy. Also the girls are incredible together. The hot novel I think it was for the Denied Love girls. "Love on Hire", about a girl that works as "anything" and gets hired as a lady companion/fuckbuddy/or something sexy by a rich girl. It will be made by the same company as Denied Love so we'll see if they kiss better now.

This got barely mentioned in these threads so I post it (again? not sure if I posted it before)It's actual Chinese Yuri, not one of those highly aesthetic historical shorts that never go beyond subtext, actual undeniable mainland Chinese Yuri.https://youtu.be/1dhP50krPzU?list=LL>>4498303The deleted Scene has become their 2nd most popular video, the Ep. 10 Highlight is making big strides to follow suit.
>>4502807The Secret of Us is from 2024. AyaHiro (season 1) too. >Love Design>top tierI get that many loooved it but I just don't see the great appeal. The series was very well done but the story and relationship was mid.This Saturday 13th that PL's special episode will be released. Considering it's based on the novel's special, hopefully we'll get a first time thing for GL.
>>4502997I love Kao/Jane but it the pg13 was felt to much, their next show needs to be r18 like Queendom.
>>4502156It was very PG, but the f/f couple was quite cute. In the relatively small amount of time they got. I'd very much recommend just watching clips, because the het couple takes up the majority of the time and are more than extra insufferable. Basically another Nevertheless but way tamer.
>>4502983Kind of funny the BL videos were stagnant in views for a long while now but all of a sudden it's increasing..
I'm halfway throught Love.exe, and its ok but its 90% hetslop, the story is fun thou basically the 'modeling' college and the CS college get fused and 3 nerd girls adopt the main himbo of the modeling college, the yuri is between the two chairs of both colleges student councils.Its cute but it is a hetslop show...the funny thing is that it has kisses and they are pretty open about the gayness...unlike stuff like Friendly Rivalry or even Nevertheless.
So episode 7 of Pluribus was kinda Carol and Zosia centric. But now I am somewhat convince that Zosia/the hivemind is evil and this is just them corrupting Carol. A part of me think the show was supposed to ship Manousos and Carol in the end but they made such a big deal about that conversion therapy shit it might not even be the case.
>>4503568Bitch, the ep premiered just hours ago, spoiler that shit.
>>4502655There's only so much a director can do when the actresses are just pretty faces who can't act, or if they only want to do the bare minimum when it comes to kissing.
>>4503568>A part of me think the show was supposed to ship Manousos and Carol in the endDo you... know what a lesbian is?
>>4503568>A part of me think the show was supposed to ship Manousos and Carol in the end I have no idea how you got to this...like for real you need to have your head examined or stop going to /a/ so much.
>>4503727Lingorm did a lot in TsOU, they are not the issue...Only You got completely destroyed by having 14 eps and being obssesed with slowburn and keep them appart using every trick in the deck.
God it's depressing when mid gay Netflix shows get a second season but mid lesbian shows don't and get cancelled. Saw a Twitter post on Wish Upon a Star and how it's essentially an adult in a high schoolers body chasing another high schooler and now I don't know how I feel about it.
>>4504338Classic queerculture mental gymnastics... stop wasting your time on the moral implications of becoming your younger self again, it's fantasy, but if it helps: Time travel is impossible, she just had a vision of what she thought is the future, she never aged passed her school years.Oh and both actresses are adults so stop being retarded.
>>4504390Someone's sensitive to the topic.
Haven't been to these threads in a while, why the fuck is it all just thai garbage and how long has it been like this?
>>4504420Thai is currently the superior form of live action GL
>>4504338>Wish Upon a StarWeren't you smart enough to understand the premise from the trailer? Main girl goes back in time from adulthood to highschool to stop the future death of her loved one.>>4504420Only Thailand is making massive amounts of explicitly lesbian series in which there's always a good ending and the main women don't care about men sexually or romantically.
>>4502807Which ones have hot kisses and such, I don't mean little pecs.
>>4504420Because there are a pair of posters who are quite literally from Thailand who who just idolfag post about it.>how long has it been like this?Months now.
This thread acting like the general thread acts with Watanare but with Thai GLs is so fucking funny, thou i guess its just one faggot trying to bait, while in the other one they 100% hate Watanare lmao.
Just watched ep3 Like A Palette and if you are into slow sweet harmless stuff, then its for (You).Kinda dislike how dense the MC is but the blonde is sooooo hot!Also theres a lot of NTR going on, like a chick left a dude for a tomboy, then the same dude got a crush on the MC so you know how thats gonna end.Oh and one of the MC female friends basically is trying to cuck one of her friends little brother with a chick he likes!
>>4504567First tier, minus Somewhere Somehow that is super slowburn and Love Design that is a pg13 romcom.Oh and Harmony Secret, Clairebell, Denied Love and My Safe Zone have a ton of kissing and hot stuff.
>>4504338You know thats basically bullshit right?They are acting like this now but the moment that the show is out they are gonna lap it up like the piggies they are.Twitter and TikTok loves toxic stuff.
>>4504422The Ultimate Evolution of Lesbian Shows, basically who would have thought that actually doing lesbian stories with hot women would net you a huge international fandom...
Unlimited Love was a complete trainwreck, only watch if you are an Englot completionist...fuck me, hot bitches all over the show but so fucking bad...
I'm halfway through the Enemies With Benefits novel and oh boy if they keep half the sex scenes the novel has then its gonna be r18 lmao!Also, i guess this is happening alonside Whale Store and before Bake Love Feelings because Cheese was thirsting for Lallalin when they meet.
>>4504608>hot bitches all over the show but so fucking bad...Applies to very show done by MGI: Show Me Love, Delete Your Past, and... this one. I hope something changes along the way and >>4498789 gets produced by MGI but developed by another company, like with Petrichor.>>4504616>if they keep half the sex scenes the novelThat almost never never happens, they'll probably make it fucking hot but still tone it down to make it TV appropiate. I really, really loved the novel and how it turned from sexy sex to sexy intimacy and domesticity so naturally. I shouldn't but still have high hopes for this one, specially after that cool pilot. And JingJing is fucking hot.
Guys...better just watch a compiltation of the couple in Love.Exe, the show is cute and kinda fun but is soooooo fucking het, that said the f/f couple does get like 30 or so minutes of screentime together, which is like one ep in a 16 ep season.I do hope that worstKorea keep at least putting these secondary characters that are allowed to have a romance.
>>4504662The pilot had the tone down so fucking great, but yeah, i assume what we saw on the pilot is gonna be what we get.I just love the cast, and Jingjing is perfect even if she is way too tall for the char lmaoI do have some hope for Under Her Rule thou they really, really want to sell Meena/Aoom as a ship to have after Englot.
>>4504606>actually doing lesbian storiesWas the bar we were at
>>4504676Really?
>>4504680We already knew the state of most western and Korean shows. Thailand is at least making them front and center
>>4504608Yeah - it's not worth it for the lesbian content, we have 5 couples + 1 guest couple and just 3 kisses total. Everybody else is just there for 9 episodes without much/or any chemistry and then in the very last chapter of the last episode: "we should start dating" and then hug it out... and ofc the hottest girls were the phony couples, who might as well be no couples at all... Anyhow, half of the cast will reappear on "The Water", which is not done by MGI - so maybe there will be more substance over style.
I've never watched a Thai GL before, so what's a good one to start? I'd prefer a relatively serious plot and decent production values.
>>4504878>serious plot and decent production valuesThey're mostly telenovelas for lesbians, keep that in mind for your expectations of content quality. Fitting your criteria you have only Rollercoaster, Pluto and maybe Clairebell and The Loyal Pin. They're all available on YT on their producer companies's official channels.
>>4504878Start from the 'first', start with Gap, basically it has the best first contact type of Thai GL storytelling, it has flaws of course but its a good way to see if you can get into the regular stuff.Then i guess you might want to watch some 'ship' stuff, Pluto, 23.5, The Secret Of Us and Harmony Secret is a good second phase.Then >>4502807 this post is mostly 2025 stuff.Oh and with Gap search for the Re-Run on Youtube, its a better experience.>>4504897Nigga, while i love The Loyal Pin a newbie would be bored to tears and rage around...you know what part...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_7FfaztBEECOP KINO HELLO??
>>4505033I have to watch that pilot and theres another one that came out earlier today...
They look so hot together...i have the novel on my kindle, i heard that Love's character seems to be into Nantam's char...i hope theres stuff going on between these two too.
New poster for 4E...one of these things is not like the others.
>>4504897>>4504981Thanks Anons. I watched two episodes of ClaireBell, since it sounded like the most interesting premise. It's been pretty good so far. The soap opera antics are fun (wouldn't mind it if it was a bit trashier). Not a whole lot of romantic development yet, and while the acting is decent, I wonder how Dao's actress being clearly in her own league will play out. Love the Thai wonderbread product placement.
Wicked literally would have been perfect if Glinda and Elphie just ran away from their bullshit lives together at the end. But no we have to settle for "he was a boy, she was a girl, can i make it any more obvious" tier hetfaggotry.
>>4505064Clairbell kinda goes hypernova in ep4 or ep5?If you want trashy you are gonna love Gap or Blank or even Affair.
>>4505075I fucking hate all the fucking Oz fanfiction and references that only base their shit off the damn movie and not any of the damn books. Give me anything with Ozma and Dorothy being gay together god damnit, there's enough material to make some damn good yuri with those two.
>>4505082Clairebell's mid as can be in the romance department, which is baffling for a Thai GL, but the last episode was actually good. Bell and Claire were cute. It's a shame they fumbled the romantic development, but at least the show looks pretty I guess?
>>4505090Honestly let's say you had 200 mil to produce the movie(s) about it, what would you do?
>>4505090Books have trans in them
>>4505203And I'm sure you have passages from the book from something alluding to this from one of the human characters?
>>4505204I don't but I've read about it on it's wikipedia page.
>>4505206From your 2 seconds of skimming, do you even remember it was a human character or did you just want to "umackshually"
>>4505203>>4505204Ozma is the princess of Oz, who was turned into the boy Trip by magic and sent away as part of the Wizard's coup. "He" is the main character of the second book and is transformed back into a girl by magic in the end. It isn't a trans narrative the way Anon is implying.
>>4505210>It isn't a trans narrative the way Anon is implying.It seems to be widely interpreted as a trans narrative.
>>4505213It's a children's fantasy book first published 121 years ago. I promise you L. Frank Baum wasn't thinking about scary trans people when he wrote it.
>>4505213That's fucking stupid. Ozma was a girl to begin with, her being turned into a boy then turned back isn't something I would call a positive trans thing, more like Ozma's curse being lifted. If she started as a boy then turned into a girl, I would see that, but that's not how it went.That's basically like how some /u/ posters would think a character is an amazing lesbian icon because she had sex with a woman right after having sex with 50 men and is still married to a man.Nonsense.
>>4505115I would make an anime. Half slice of life, half action comedy that takes place after Dorothy and her family moved to Oz for good. Slice of life segments would be comfy low stakes adventures and romance. The action segments would be the girls going on adventures fighting the Nome king and other ne'er do wells.I would also make Scraps a gyaru, mostly because her having golden fingernails makes me think of Gyarus.
>>4504878https://www.reddit.com/r/GirlsLove/wiki/index/glseries/List of GL series over the years (TH +other countries). Search for the trailers and Ost MVs of the series on yt to get a feel of the production.Look up more info/reviews for the series on mydramalist and imdb.Or just watch all of them in the order they were released and get the full TH GL experience. Not like the west is making any yuri for us to watch.
>>4505385Speaking of Pluribus the season finale is named: "La Chica o El Mundo" or The Girl or The World. Manousos presents Carol with a choice. So I am assuming its going to be somewhat /u/ related.
>>4505391I assume they are gonna offer her to unlink Sozia or something like that...i mean no matter how you look it, it is clearly an ayyy invasion by now.
First Kill was another lesbian show, it was mostly even if the parents and the siblings took a lot of screentime, actually about two teen girls that wanted to fuck eachoter silly...
>>4498303Does anyone know where I can download Thai GL in full HD?
>>4505581Unfortunately Queendom is very elusive, it's VIP only now, Ripped streams of the show are rarely ever HD and I have yet to see a download for any show really. SD episodes are on bilibili and dailymotion though.I think the whole genre is too niche for big piracy crews, I get the feeling anything but porn is too niche for big piracy crews. I'm afraid the only solution is a VIP account (6$ a month), not sure if you can download the episodes, but there are free capture tools out there (OBS captures in HD for free).Other shows are often on YouTube in HD, though the trend goes to publishing GLs on their own network, Uncut versions are usually always behind a paywall.Well, and GAP is on Blu-Ray, but I couldn't find any release for less than 150$, which is insane while the show airs in HD for free on YouTube.
>>4505640>VIP account (6$ a month)You can also use alternative sites to pay for this if you want, managed to get it for 3 bucks and some change (SEAGM).
>>4505664If you're gonna jew it so much just pay one or two months of one service (WeTV, Iqiyi, Gagaoolala) watch all their complete GLs you want and then cancel your subscription. Repeat with a different service the next time.
After this week, will there be 1 ongoing Thai GL? I know Like a Palette is still airing.
Which Thai GL has the best sex scenes?
>>4505854Yes, because the turn of the year. We'll get the new series at the end of January or on February.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zghM83exSowThe sexbots are here.
>>4505986lmao that's so quirky bodyswap was pushing it but this is really zany anime realm now
Well without any spoilers, the worst thing that could possibly happen in Pluribus happened and I'll probably drop it now. I suggest you do the same...
>>4506196Ok now say it again with spoilers, because I'm not seeing anyone else reacting like you so I'm not sure what's so terrible that happened
>>4506210I was expecting something awful based on anon's comment, but my guess would be they were hoping Carol stayed faithful to her late wife, or they consider Carol now to have slept with everyone in the world, with dubious consent.
>>4506217For Carol to still be the hero of this story:1. she remembers Helen and her new life's mission to stop stop the people responsible for her death.2. she saves Zosia and then whatever happens after that happens even if Zosia is actually straight.What happened was the pluribus used Helen's memory and Zosia's body to seduce Carol and it worked. So now Carol is no better than Koumba, this family shit she is having with Zosia is nothing more than an act. Like the holodeck in Star Trek. Carol is a bad person, Manousos is the hero of the story not her. That being said she might be the Walter White or Saul of the story and her redemption arc will happen towards the end of the series.
>>4506196>the worst thing that could possibly happen in Pluribus happened>two women doing gay shit>>4506265>Carol is a bad person, Manousos is the hero of the story not her. Manousos is a foil and a shitty person masquerading as noble because he has absolutist ideas about property and money. Laxmi and Diabate are too happy to go along with the situation, Manousos is wildly aggressive and understands nothing about what is happening to the point of endangering the entire world. He is literally just an even worse version of Carol from the first couple episodes, who got people killed. Current Carol sits in the middle, empathetic to the Joined and not wanting to injure or kill them but also unable to let things stay the way they are. She doesn't need to do anything to redeem herself and she is innately the hero because the story is not about fighting aliens, it is about her trying to find happiness. The entire sci-fi setup is just framing for a story about a woman who is miserable having her life suddenly shaken up.
>>4506298You do understand that Zosia is not in control of her body? That’s rape.
>>4506316>I'm going to drop the show because the protagonist did something flawed (during the apocalypse, after being emotionally manipulated for months)Get a grip. Stories require conflict.
>>4506323This boils down to what I initially said…. She’s not the hero but she might get a redemption arc where she would need to atone for what she did and maybe saving the world as a result. Manousos is the Jesse/Kim of the series.
>>4506316>Zosia is not in control of her bodyThis is an unfounded presumption. Zosia is part of the Joined, not absent. We have no idea to what degree the individual is or isn't involved, especially since this very same episode established that they possess some degree of insulation from the other Joined and know and are aware of what the others do and know rather than simultaneously experiencing it as a sole entity. Also, this is really just deflection on your part, even if we pretend this is full fledged rape--ignoring the much more complicated examination of exactly what sort of mental state the Joined are in and to what degree a collective can consent; and also that in the situation Carol was both under the influence and emotionally vulnerable so if anything closer to being taken advantage of--Carol is still the hero and she still hasn't done anything that warrants "getting a redemption arc" besides maybe the initial upsetting of the Joined when she did not know that was something that could happen. I find it hard to even see how, if old Zosia Based on your weird fixation on trying to frame Manousos as being some main character and the Joined as turbo evil bad guy aliens who have to be defeated, I'm guessing you are also the retard who last week was claiming that the show was "supposed to" ship him with Carol? >>4503568 Are you dumb or just shitposting?
>>4506335That anon seems to have a bad understanding of the show in general, but they're correct that it's rape, and you're wrong that there's any ambiguity that the aliens are evil bad guys who need to be defeated. And they're related subjects. The show started with the aliens forcibly kissing people, including a man forcibly kissing the lesbian Carol. See also, the references to conversion therapy. The show's theming is very clear that it's bad when individuals aren't allowed to make their own choices, and are "converted" to the will of the masses who claim it's for your own good, and that if you only understood, you wouldn't even want to be the person you think you are. So it's not a good thing that Carol has now also taken advantage of the body of somebody who didn't consent to it.Of course the apocalypse is also a metaphor for how Carol's world was destroyed by the death of her wife. Nothing feels the same, interactions with other people are now meaningless, etc. It remains to be seen whether the show can reconcile the theme of dealing with a loss and moving on, with the above, without rendering one of them incoherent. Hopefully they don't go with, accepting the apocalypse is inevitable, trying to undo it was like trying to undo death, so now you have to move on. It would make more sense if undoing it was like, Carol seeing people as people again, realizing that free will means Zosia will probably reject her and that's okay.
>>4506337There aren't any aliens. They are also verifiably not evil bad guys who need to be defeated. If they had any ill will at all beyond their openly explained biological need to spread the infection, they would take much simpler and easier steps to dealing with problems. If their kindness was duplicitous you would see much the same. There was no reason that they had to airlift Manousos to safety, their desire to make everyone happy is a defense mechanism to avoid confrontation, but there was nothing stopping them from just leaving a very obvious problem and threat to die alone in the jungle (windfall) where he could not harm the collective at all. We have already seen that their self-preservation imperative can supersede the imperative to help; that's why Zosia could not answer Carol's questions even though they wanted to.Zosia's actor spoke after episode 4 about the crying scene and how the mental framing for the scene from Zosia's POV was specifically NOT that Zosia felt betrayed when she realized Carol had drugged her but that she felt so bad that Carol was so miserable she'd felt the need to resort to such methods. The joined are genuine.>See also, the references to conversion therapyYes, but those references are immediately undercut because Carol is ALSO trying to forcibly convert people against their will.>The show's theming is very clear that it's bad when individuals aren't allowed to make their own choicesIs it? Carol making her own choices nearly got Zosia killed twice, nearly had her commit passive suicide, nearly got her mauled by wolves, and killed 11+ million people. Manousos' choices had him almost starve to death and then almost die in the jungle. It's addressed early on that the lack of freedom is a misconception from Carol's perspective. A point that was telegraphed by the young immune girl: that she wouldn't be stripped of what made her her, she would be sharing it with everyone.
>>4506340>A point that was telegraphed by the young immune girlIt's also worth pointing out that Carol too briefly stumbles into this epiphany in the grenade(?) episode before she is angered by Helen being brought up and distracted. When she momentarily recognizes that being Joined would be like perpetually experiencing all of the greatest moments in her life all the time but also everyone else's. People's very reasonable reaction is to take the Joined at their worst possibility but ignore the evidence in front of them, which all suggests they are actually exactly how they appear. They aren't good at deception. At all. They're actually sort of autistically bad at dealing with actual people. You see it constantly with Carol and Manousos. People mistakenly think this whole thing is some elaborate 4D manipulation technique, but the Joined keep constantly doing shit that pisses the two of them off and drives them farther from friendly. They should have realized money and property was important to Manousos back in the jungle when he burned his car and not then responded in the hospital with "lol it's free, stay here". They should have recognized that Carol has ALWAYS responded poorly to them borrowing shit from people's lives and heads and not reconstructed an entire elaborate scene from her past and dragged people cross country to act it out. They should have recognized that bringing up a Helen memory when Carol was edging volatility and drunk was a bad idea. They're not good at handling non-joined, they are smart and skilled technically but have lost social and emotional finesse. This has been evident from the start, it would be obvious to anyone that standing around creepily and responding as a group "we want to help" is not gonna go over well with someone freaking the fuck out, or that "We're going to fix you and make you one of us" was not going to go over well with someone who is clearly scared of you and had immediately asked about not joining.
The mental patient with access to Chatgpt is on fire today.Fuck you for spoiling the episode a couple of hours after it was released, just like you did last week. Fuck you, retard.
I'm laughing if worst thing to happen is for Carol staying gay with her Zosia wife, then I'm quite puzzled.
>>4506340>There aren't any aliens. They are also verifiably not evil bad guys who need to be defeated.Imagine being this media illiterate.>Yes, but those references are immediately undercut because Carol is ALSO trying to forcibly convert people against their will.No, she's trying to restore free will to people who have had it stolen from them. It would take a real toddler brain to think this is in any way a contradiction from the show about conversion being bad. If you want to extend the metaphor there, then your argument is that it's hypocritical to shut down a conversion therapy camp because you're preventing the people running it from making their own choices.
This is rape, right?
4506493>Imagine being this media illiterate.If you have any actual evidence rather than fallacy, I'd be happy to hear it.>restore free willAgain, this is assumption. As far as we know, as far as we have seen, they still have free will, being connected just means that they have such a big picture view that their values have shifted. If you could beam the entire life experience and perspective of a gay woman into a homophobes head (not just explain what it's like, but have them experience every moment and thought and feeling of that woman's whole life) even without the hivemind aspect, it is impossibly unlikely that said homophobe's views would not shift to at least a small degree. They will be changed and not think the same thing as before because now they have been, in equal measure, both people on both sides.You are rationalizing this as people are doing stuff they wouldn't do before they must be mind controlled, but we have nothing to suggest it's actually because they are enslaved or stripped of will, it's because when you have been (and still are) every other person on the planet then you become, in the standard sense of the word not the literal, completely selfless.cont.
>>4506493>>4506605Carol thinks the waitress was puppeted out of her happily married life for the diner. But the reality is that the waitress, who has been and is everyone, who is now innately connected to her spouse so what is distance, never had any reason to not go. Why wouldn't you move across the country to act in a play that you know will make a depressed person (who was your still very beloved wife and your childhood friend, and your cousin, and your favorite student when you taught grade school and the girl who let you borrow math homework in 9th grade, and the author of your favorite book series, and the client who made your career as an editor, and that sad woman from the ice hotel you work at, etc.) happier? When doing so doesn't make you actually any farther from the people you love because you are connected, and it's not a waste of time or degrading to your pride because you have climbed Everest and won every Olympic gold medal and run the biggest corporations on the planet and been the leader of many countries, so what's wrong with making coffee and carrying some plates like you have a hundred million other times in the innumerable jobs you had which were each, you know now, just as valid and respectable and worthwhile as any other job "you've" worked?It's not because against your free will you are being forcibly made to go do something else you wouldn't have done; it's because when you have that perspective of borderline nirvana, going to help other people rather than worrying about what you would have wanted to do, especially when statistically you've already done it (what is watching that soap you watch every night when you wrote, acted, and edited every episode?) just makes sense
>>4506611You can see this telegraphed in various places around the show, like pic related.The "substance" seems at first, to be a poison, to be harmful. Then with some perspective it seems to be an amazing elixir, something that causes widespread change and allows for incredible things, but in reality, in its simplest form, it's actually just a love potion. That it what it does. It connects people and opens your mind to everyone else's state of being in such a way that you love everyone and everything and just want to make things better, and can recognize that you are very small and don't matter much.>a contradiction from the show about conversion being badYou misunderstand what I am arguing. I'm not saying the show undercut "gay conversion is bad" I'm saying that the show undercut "this is just like conversion camp". The problem was that the metaphor was never applicable, it's the result of Carol's individual view being projected onto the circumstance, because it requires that you, as you did above, hold that what has happened here is people being enslaved. A more apt metaphor is that you show up to an Aztec ritual where people keep killing themselves and cutting themsleves to make the sun rise and you grab them and hold them long enough that they see that actually, the sun was going to rise anyway. And of course they are different after because how could you not be, but not because they are mind controlled because they now "get it".
>>4505854>>4505965This is going down on the 11th of the next month, maybe the first show is gonna launch at the end of the month?
Pluribus doesn't make any sense, if all the virus wanted to do was spread and it has total autonomy of everyone on earth. Why did it spend so much resources coddling 13 people, just kill them.
>>4506734>Why did it spend so much resources coddling 13 peopleWhen you have everyone else on earth, no matter what 13 individual people can ask for could never affect their resources in any measurable way.Coddling them is the easiest way
>>4506735Cheaper to just shoot them in the head.
>>4506736Too bad, it can't do that
>>4506737If all it wanted to do is spread the it can. It obviously doesn’t care about everyone dying off in 10 years, why would it care about 13? The writing makes zero sense, Gillian should go back to crime dramas, he can make a Kim spinoff and it would have been more successful.
I'm halfway done with Us.It gets on the Top Tier >>4502807
>>4506934When you start Player, stick with it till the 4th or 5th episode and if by then you don't like it, then drop it.It's one of those series you start loving over time, so just stick with it for a while.>>4506738The hive knows everyting all humans know and the lack of innovation for humanity and individual thoughts means lack of innovative creativity in the world. The 13 individuals provide the hive with entertainment and Carol being a writer and creating something new provides them with novelty and takes them out of the monotony of just making the world function to remain alive while developing a way to pass on the "virus" to another planet..In many oportunities the hive has expressed to have feelings akin to the ones of humans and animals. Zosia's answer to what Zosia the individual's favourite food was, the "you told us to go away and we didn't like that, Carol. We need space" attitude from the earlier two episodes, how good the massage felt, and maybe the actual reason it initiated the kiss, all that shows the hive has feelings. "Excitement" over something new is a feeling too.
>>4506951Yet they still want to assimilate her...
>>4506957Can't go against their own nature and objective. And in the end a toy is just a toy.
>>4506959I don't think they can turn Carol anyways unless that frozen egg shit actually happens. And Carol based on the next episode preview, is willing to let the world burn because apparently the pussy was THAT good.Well that is until she finds out they have her eggs and can assimilate her, then she might do something...
>>4506960>frozen egg shit>have her eggsYou really don't understand what the hell you're watching. They don't want her eggs (as in the ones produced by her ovaries) they want her stem cells, which are obtained by an invasive medical procedure that must be done in a hospital. The show mentioned "sticking a huge needle in you" so the method they'd use would be harvesting from bone marrow. The only other method for adults would be from pumping and filtering a lot of blood from the donor. Unless they get hold of Carol's umbilical cord magically with living cells on it, they won't get shit unless Carol consents to stem cell harvesting. See pic.
>>4506967I highly doubt they filed an entire scene in a fucking ice hotel for nothing. You clearly not the target audience if you're having trouble catching these small clues.
>>4506951I was warned about that anon lol, next i'm going to start that or Runaway.
>>4506968You mean when she was on vacation with Helen and mentioned she had her eggs frozen? Yes, I'm aware of it but that fan theory is just one of many that have the hive finding a loophole to get stem cells without consent. Anyway, the key here is getting stem cells, not her eggs like you're obssessed about. Medically it'd be a bit of a reach to be able to generate good Carol stem cells from her frozen eggs and for them to be good enough to generate the thing to assimilate her.
>>4506968>>4506973While the "from your body" is obviously immediately suspicious, they had already responded "that is correct" to Carol's question "is it true you need our express permission to collect those [stem] cells?" Since Carol did not specify the method of collection in her question, just asked if it was true they needed stem cells to tailor the infection and that they needed permission to collect those stem cells, one could make the argument that at least at CURRENT the hive does not see a viable tailoring route from the eggs. That would have required lying.
>>4506977TBQH I think it's more likely they harvested the eggs to manipulate Carol by having Zosia carry her baby. Still would this make both Zosia and Carol the biological parents? How does that work?
>>4506265I hated what happened but Carol's still the hero of the show and not a bad person because the show writers themselves seem to have handwaved the concept of consent.
>>4507070>Same anonNot a bad person in the show, I mean, in the discussion of who's a worthy protagonist, not what she seems like to us or what makes a bad person vs bad action and all that.The show seems to be saying the hive has enough of an ability to consent, to both Carol and Diabate. I disagree, because they don't seem capable of saying no, so unfortunately this ep did take away a lot of my interest, but I'll still finish out the season.

>>4507120Last exmas was ok. I'm planning on trying christmas at the ranch this week because someone rec'd it in the last thread. Happiest season is fun for the most part although the chemistry didn't make enough use of kstew. Carol is the classic /u/ christmas movie to always watch. Haven't seen the others but I'll add them to my list and maybe I'll have time to see them too.
>>4506457This board has truly fallen low if now lesbian MC having gay sex is considered the worst thing to happen and it’s more important to discuss reddit-tier arguments such as whether it was 100% consensual or not.

The Earth is gonna launch at the end of january.Its the fake dating one,
Wow, Runaway might be the most unique Thai GL I've seen so far. Horror genre, poor characters, love triangle (two characters in love with the same woman), few kiss scenes in the entire show (no love scene), no redemption arc for shitty parents, and an open ending rather than a happy one. And of course, this show will also be paid dust by Thai viewersAlmost January, I'll laugh if EWB airs before Girl Rules.
>>4508013EWB is 100% gonna air before GR.
>>4508013>no redemption arc for shitty parentsIT BROKE NEW GROUND
>>4508031Us did that too. Might be the only two series to do that, sadly
>>4506973Well this post aged pretty terribly...Some people are just not meant to watch shows that need even a tiny bit of thinking.
>>4508013>open ending Okay, I was definitely wrong about this. Looked up the novel ending for clarification since I saw folks saying it followed the book and damn, it's now the first Thai GL with a downer ending. Shit's depressing
>>4507541>christmas at the ranchWatched this today. I liked kate's stubbornness while still being a softy since it creates a quasi enemies to lovers romance, and it pulled off most of the slow burn pretty well for being a 90 minute movie. The setting was extremely cozy since it focuses on a low stakes christmas issue wrapped around a /u/ romance on a ranch. Not a different formula from the other lifetime/hallmark movies but that is part of what made it cozy and enjoyable. Only noticeable problem was they clearly had no audio engineer because some scenes were not recorded correctly at all and they either just kept it or had dubbed it poorly. Shame since the overall production was shot well.
I can't believe Carol is going to threaten a thermonuclear holocaust unless her wife stops being space-autistic and trying to 'save' her.
>>4508257Why they made Zosia brown?She's white Polish girl.
Is the season finale designed so that it makes me hate Carol? Why is she so selfish? Also I guess Stursia is sunk for now.
Along the whole season I loved how the plurbs and Carol's relationship paralleled one of two people who were close, got offended and refused to talk to you and then got back together stonger only to be heart broken when the a part realises the other doesn't love them just as much.I'm so looking forward to next season.>>4508272Because tumblr. At least they look like women and not like trannies.>>4508016I dunno. EWB was on Q11 on Dec 18th and GR on Q20 on Dec 22nd. It depends on how often they keep filming GR, which is super slow compared to EWB and how many episodes each series will have.So far it looks like GR will be 12 eps long, hoping the same for EWB and not 8 or 10.Also apparently Jojo has a reputation of being super fast on post production and to premiere series while still having a couple of Qs left to film.One thing is sure, one of the two will premiere around the time 4 Elements do (Jan 24th).
https://x.com/ChaserGameW2026/status/2003752508020150566Insane that we're getting more Chaser Game W. Either S3 or a maybe a movie?
>>4508513I'm not that surprised because CGW is pretty big for a J-GL, and I do remember seeing the director hinting at some kind of sequel after the ItsuFuyu fan event earlier this year. Whatever it is (probably S3), I'm hoping it's way better than the first two seasons, and I wouldn't mind it if they did more with the family scenes with little Tsuki.
>>4508534Wonder why they opened a new account though. It also looks like they're not following the screenwriter for the previous two seasons.
>>4508569>It also looks like they're not following the screenwriter for the previous two seasons.No, they are. I wouldn't have been against a new screenwriter honestly, oh well.
>>4503568And that anon turned out to be correct. The hive is obviously destructive at best, and a metaphor of systemic evil destroying all smaller cultures and faiths at worst, and yuri was only a trap.
>>4508762It was quite sad here because the trap was of Carol's own making. The hive isn't maliciously manipulating her, they are genuinely trying to make her happy. In trying to escape from her loneliness Carol was willing to ignore what she already knows about the hive's objectives, and convince herself she was making a real connection with Zosia. We see in the episode she avoids asking obvious questions that she knows will torpedo her happiness, like "Were you straight pre-joining?"
>>4508776Totally. After how upset Carol was with that waitress Bri being taken away from her pre joining home and life only to play pretend for her hapiness and completely ignoring the hive did exactly the same with Zosia with the same objective is one of the clear signs Carol chose to fool herself until the impending bubble burst.
Can atomic bomb convince the hive mind to release Zosia as individual for Carol sake?And also Zosia becoming cut from hive as a drone would hate Carol for removing her happiness initially but maybe then she could build up her own new ego with time.
>>4508860I don't think the reality of it has even sunk in for Carol yet. I was kind of hoping the writers would pull a get out of jail free card and just have the hive go, "We picked out someone who was a lesbian to be your chaperone because we thought you'd be more comfortable that way," but it doesn't look like it's going that way. Carol awkwardly uses "they" when asking about her past lover, and Zosia does the same. We know the hive can't lie but also avoids giving out information they think would be upsetting, so Zosia absolutely would have said "she' if her lover were a woman. Add this to Carol trying to get her to use "I" instead of "we" and it makes it seem like Carol's backstory about the conversion camp was foreshadowing her own actions, and not just the hive's.>>4508861My guess would be that they would be incapable of doing that even if threatened. But there's three more seasons and someone leaving the hive somehow is such a an obvious plot point to hit, and Zosia would be the most interesting one for it happen to, I'm kind of expecting it.
>>4508861"The girl saves the mouse from the trap."
Uh...Pangjie from Clairebell just came out as gay.
>>4509684That's nice
>>4509684>there's gay characters in Yuri shows?Wow...
>>4509691I think its cute how her boss was the first to give her congratulations Shinji on twatter.>>4509728ikr?
>>4509728*actressesAnd yes, in Asian mainstream media is noteworthy.
Maybe this is not the right thread for it, but just for the sake of the "topic" How come people say Latam/South America has an "accepting culture/openness " regards to gayness, but never has an industry like that.
>>4509684Cute. I've been under a rock these past few days.That's like a second (or a third if you count Orm's vagueposting?) Thai actress that came out in recent memory, no? I'm not delulu enough to say it was obvious, because her very evident crushing on Mable was excusable as fanservice. But still.I wish they become a locked pair in future projects.
>>4509867>Latam/South America has an "accepting culture/openness" regards to gayness, but never has an industry like that.Budget constraints and unproven market I reckon. South America doesn't have a fleshed out movie industry in general and their (het default) telenovelas have an older core audience/market.But there's been progress in the last half a decade, mostly from Brazil. Sure they don't have a big GL/BL industry like Thailand (and increasingly Japan) but they have smaller gay web series, like South Korea.And Thai scene is also a relatively new phenomenon. This 2025/6 GL flood came only after like 2 brave GL dramas broke the ice.
>>4509018can't WAIT
>>4509889What's the difference between lesbians and tom/dee type of relationships? I'm Thai and my sister started dressing as a guy and came home with a girlfriend. But when asked she said she's not a lesbian.
>>4508861There is no Zosia.Just like the family from the beginning of the final episode, they are just acting in a theatrical production for the sake of the unjoined.
>>4509960I wonder if Spain has anything since their gay community is incredibly healthy
>>4510111Are they dating? If so, by definition she's in a lesbian relationship even if she doesn't consider herself one
>>4510119Has Spain held any cultural influence over South America for the last 300 years?
>>4510121They've been married for 12 years now.
>>4510117Yea the people over in the /tv/ general is trying to delude themselves that somehow Zosia will be unplurb and all of a sudden run back into Carol's arms when we know zero about her pre-joining. They're also convinced that the shitty book she writes which if anyone read the first chapter sounded like something out of Fanfiction.net will convince the hive to not plurb her. All of this is a show from the hive to placate the immune.That being said the main characters will continue to be Seehorn, Vesga and Wydra. So Zosia will not be going away unlike the Peruvian girl.
>>4510122No but if we're talking about Spanish speaking/adjacent countries they are definitely part of the conversation >>4510123Well then she's still definitely in a lesbian marriage then. No matter what she calls herself.Semi unrelated, did they do a formal wedding after Thailand legalized same-sex marriage earlier this year?
>>4510134I mean we had a normal buddhist ceremony at the local temple, no idea that it was even registered with the local districts. Her name is in their housing registry but I don't know if the district offices listed her as a spouse. Gay weddings has been happening for quite some time before the legalization, some of which are televized since a few couples happen to be notable celebrities.https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/entertainment/article/3215392/meet-thailands-most-beautiful-trans-model-poyd-treechada-petcharat-newlywed-beauty-pageant-queen-andThat being said the local districts are corrupt as fuck and they are willing to put anything on paper as long as you slip them a 500-1000 note.
>>4510111>>4510123That's hilarious, you gotta be trolling. Reminds me of that dumb, ancient no-homo pasta where an anon dates his friend to call him a faggot but ends up happily married and with kids.
>>4510150There's literally a wiki that says they do not identify as lesbians.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_identities_in_Thailand#:~:text=The%20%22dee%22%20(%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%B5%E0%B9%89),engage%20in%20relationships%20with%20toms.Sometimes you just can't apply western ideals to cultures other than your own.
>>4510151Yeah I get that and I'm not trying to be insensitive. But I'll still have to agree with the other anon: She's gay/bi and she's in a gay relationship. Objectively. Same how ancient pederasts had multiple layers and rules of "no-homo" to cope and gaslight themselves. But today, we can still objectively say that yes, they were still gay.And that's ok.
>>4510151Technically it says they might not self identify as lesbian. But either way, she's married and has a wife. She gay>>4510144I'd ask if she has only ever dated women prior to marrying her wife >That being said the local districts are corrupt as fuck and they are willing to put anything on paper as long as you slip them a 500-1000 note.A tale as old as time
>>4510151So basically tom is a butch and dee is a femme as western lesbian/bi stuff goes.
>>4510152>>4510153The term lesbian doesn't really have a thai meaning, back in the day if you're gay they will either refer to you in a somewhat derogatory term such as:Kateoy - ladyboy or Tom The term lesbians come from the west. There are kateoy and toms all the way back for hundreds of years so this is in the traditional sense. Now a days we don't care, they don't care. When we go somewhere together and if her spouse doesn't work she will say, "paa fan ma," meaning I'll be bringing my partner. They're just a part of the family we don't care about that and I honestly do not care to ask. But as someone who had known her for 36 years I know exactly what she meant, the thai connotation and not the western.Also in regards to dating men I think she dated a guy at school for literally 1 day before she dumped him and cut her hair. So she has never been with a guy all her life.
>>4510152>Same how ancient pederasts had multiple layers and rules of "no-homo" to cope and gaslight themselves.It's amazing how much people were able to do as long as they, on some level, were perceived as het. Which is extremely fucked, but still kind of impressive
>>4510155That being said the term lesbian IMHO as a thai:>>4509889 >>4506689these is not it, this is a tom/dee relationship. To be clear. >>4507694 >>4506960>>4506584these are more lesbian.
>>4510155>Also in regards to dating men I think she dated a guy at school for literally 1 day before she dumped him and cut her hair. So she has never been with a guy all her life.Very based and gold-star pilled >>4510157I guess the closer western equivalent is stud/fem based off your explanation
>>4510158It almost doesn't matter after all these years. That being said when she first started doing this shit we were making fun of her when she was intentionally using the wrong honorific. She would say Pom/Boku when she referred to herself which is basically saying she was referring to herself as a male. That lasted for a few months until she referred to her "Noo" which basically either translated to Mouse/Me in a more cute feminine tone. Which goes back to my original question: Is Tom/Dee more of a transgender hetero couple? She never got transitioned, she uses the female bathroom and now constantly use the female honorific when speaking. Or is it lesbian?
>>4509960Speaking of telenovelas, there's a lesbian couple in a telenovela currently airing in Brazil, they're Juquinha and Lorena from Três graçasThis ship kinda blew up on x and ig so the network Globo is posting some of their scenes with english and spanish subs on their social media, they also announced that Loquinha (that's the ship name) will have their own spin off next year, it will be a web series kinda of thing but produced by the network and posted on their social media and streaming platform with subtitles
>>4510160It's lesbian. She's just gender non conforming
>>4510155I'd imagine Tom is a Western term too, as in tomboy.>>4510160You're going to get a better answer asking your sister than random 4channers who couldn't place Thailand on a map. If I were to guess, it sounds like she does consider herself a woman, but doesn't like the term lesbian because she sees the Tom/Dee system as more relevant to herself.
>>4510165Yea, I am still curious on what westerners think even though our family is pretty westernized as it is. Also y'all seem to like these thai shows more than we do, we generally watch western shows, movies and sports over thai shows and never heard of any of these besides Clairebell.My sister is a big fan of Pluribus and Heated Rivalry this season, while at the same time never watched Clairebell.
>>4510134>No but if we're talking about Spanish speaking/adjacent countries they are definitely part of the conversationDepends on the latam country but mainly except for a handful of TV shows and Spain has no influence on anything cultural, much less social, here.
>>4510162I'm actually Brazilian and I didn't know about this. I don't watch TV in general and these novelas in particular simply don't play to anyone under 50. They make these like a goddamn production line, there's always at least three airing simultaneously, plus reruns, and that's just Globo, just one network.I wouldn't call them conservative media by any stretch but when it comes to sexual orientations it's like a show from the early 90s, where they'll only feature any non-straight relationships or characters in a sort of PSA-like capacity, to educate the audience rather than have them be real characters, and to my knowledge it's always been more in the ballpark of like, a flamboyant gay man whose side of the story is about facing homophobia or whatever. I don't think I ever saw an attractive lesbian couple in anything produced in this country ever.I wonder how the local boomers are reacting to this.
>>4510157>>4510160I'll chime in one last time since we're getting off-topic. In our/western, more straight(lol)forward mind that's still lesbian. Two same sex/cisgendered girls in a relationship is still homosexual. It doesn't matter if they're both feminine "lipstick lesbians" or if they're masc/futch/butch/femme combo or two tomboys - that's just a subgenre of the same media lol. Just because you see people here mostly posting lipstick lesbo shows doesn't mean you can't bring uphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHLvdCgV2xMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tLNRUMcZuwIt's still very much relevant to this general
>>4510174You see, i think the boomers that would hate that kind of storyline just don't watch globo anymore and from what i see on the internet most people commenting about it are youngerI guess the hack that runs Globo finally realized that they're not getting views from conservatives so they stopped catering to them, so we finally have a lesbian couple that acts like any other het couple would in these type of shows, with 0 men between them and none of their scenes was censored so far
>the drought is so bad that we are now livejournaling on the thread.
>>4510179>pic>writen and directed by Poy PannaresFor whenever this gets released I thought I'd probably skip it because I don't care about tomboys but after Petrichor and Player I like this director's work a lot so I'll give it a chance.The woman who played Mind in Love Design will also act in this one.
>>4510151>Sometimes you just can't apply western ideals to cultures other than your own.Of course you can. Western ideals and values are universal truth. Only third-world morons invoke le cultural relativism to LARP as an exotic I'm-not-like-other-girls pick-mes.
I had only ever watched Japanese GL shows (because I actually understand the damned language), but now I finally took the plunge and watched something from Thailand. Tell me: how badly did I fuck myself by watching Queendom as my first Thai GL? Is there anything else as cute / light-on-drama / steamy as it, or is it all downhill from here (if looking for the abovementioned qualities)?
>>4510365>Only third-world morons invoke le cultural relativismSorry, forgot to add weebs there, as well.
>>4510167>y'all seem to like these thai shows more than we doSpeaking for myself, the atractivness of Thai GL are the lesbians and the general lack of western alphabet soup politics outside lesbians (for example non binaries, trans, pronouns wars), which I mostly don't care for or disagree with. The themes and genres of Thai stuff is like an old teenage dream come true because I'm a sucker for dramedies but at the same time, I wouldn't watch one if the main characters weren't women attracted to each other.Pluribus is the only noteworthy western production with at least one lesbian this year because of its quality and not only the les aspect.
>>4510488These shows have really bad acting if you happen to be a native speaker. It's like watching one of those low budget flicks that pop up on Tubi or something. But I can see how the politics can get in the way of alot of the shows from the west. I do like some J/Kdrama because it's harder to detect bad acting in a foreign language.
>>4510365>boiling down centuries of a country's history as pick me behaviorIncredibly retarded behavior
>>4510510>have really bad acting if you happen to be a native speakerThis goes extra hard for Kdramas lol
>>4510510>These shows have really bad acting if you happen to be a native speakerEven if you're not it's very noticeable but I'm used to it because I've consumed japanese doramas for 20 years.
>>4510398Just watch Love Design next, its on the same wave lenght as Queendom but with a lot less sex because is a pg13 romcom.I would rec you Poisonous Love but its more on the trashy telenovela side of the force.
>>4510589Nihon is basically dead on the Live Action arena.
>>4510398>cute / light-on-dramaWhale Store xoxo>cute / light-on-drama / steamySomewhere Somehow
>>4510398Oh and wait for this:>>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jwv6V3Oo9P4The novel is pretty much Queedom coded and the trailer is pretty much on point with the novel.
>>4510398Oof, I feel ya. Pluto was my first Thai GL and nothing has come close ever since. Maybe The Loyal Pin but I found out I don't really fuck with Thai period dramas and their clothing style.Maybe not as cute, but a lot of folks that like Queendom enjoyed Us and vice versa. Both shows have similar themes and this show did right what Queendom failed (parents)
Finally got around to starting this. I'm only watching it because of these two and I think they're really cute so far. Seeing stuff like this in a prime time Japanese drama is really nice, I gotta say.
>>4510752I assume the rest of the show is hetshit then? I don't understand people who watch a whole show for one side-couple desu. Sounds a bit pointless.
>>4510754>Sounds a bit pointless.I don't disagree, but at the same time I'm kinda starved for more Japanese GLs right now, so it'll have to do.
>>4510756I would be more open to it if it was a series not focused on hetshit, like a mystery series or a work drama and there was a yuri side-couple like this. But sitting through het drama is literal torture.
>>4510757I get that, but like I said, there's just nothing else happening on the Japanese side of things right now. I'm really hoping we get some other GL announcements besides the Chaser Game one soon honestly. I don't want to have to rely solely on stuff like this forever.
>>4510764Nobody's forcing you to watch this stuff though. Why not watch other things while waiting for Japs to get their shit together?
>>4510398Us the series (watch the ost mv first)Love Design (same screenwriters as US, 23.5)23.5 (if you don't mind for kidz school yuri)23.5 and Us were release before Thai GL went on steroid, so not sure how people who watched newer Th GL first would rate it now.I think old thread said AyaHiro director(?) watch Th GL and that S2 morning breath scene with them in similiar pj to PamRak was a shoutout to US
>>4510752What is it?
Anybody watching this slop triangle? MuTeLuv.Korean side of twitter cheering on the girl while one too many Japanese accounts fangirling over a guy.I don't recommend it yet. MC is too much of a closeted retard (I guess that's why she's relatable in Korea lol?) to be amusing.
>>4509889>I'm not delulu enoughlol https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/2005981909772533760/vid/avc1/1080x1920/XJ4stMZWEAuq44ta.mp4
>>4510917Its not a real love triangle thou bitch hateeeees the guy, literally the moment they started to 'date' she cheated on him with the other girl, twice.''People'' that think they guy has any chance to win are insane and thats was even if you take out the fact that the girls are a CP with a show to be released soon.The show is literally the company showing off their new big lesbian ship.Originally the show was supposed to be a love triangle with the guy as the main but they changed it after the pilot.That said that she is on denial is super funny, the show is after all a comedy.
>>4510953She is so fucking cute and Mable too.
>>4510995Oh I was missing that context. Yeah that sounds more reassuring.And yeah her acting is pretty funny.
>>4510917>Japanese accounts fangirling over a guyGetting WfM flashbacks. Even in other media, Jpn fans remain having the worst taste
>>4510995>>4511005All that said the director did a setting like this, more or less, in another series, a BL show with Piploy and Kapook, The Trainee?, where they did all this dance and it ended up with one of the girls going back to her long distance boyfriend.But that wasn't a comedy show.Personally i think it would be so dumb not to make them end together seeing how EWB is probably gonna be released in a couple of months.
>>4511008Its really funny seeing how even worstKorea has better taste.
>>4511011If only their conservative boomer higher ups would take a hint and fuck off already. The zoomers DEMAND lesbians!
Korea was basically buckbroken by Friendly Rivalry a show that while is quality is also only GL in the most subtextuals of ways.The mains just won best onscreen couple twice in a row.What i'm trying to say is that Big Yuri made a foothold on SK and they are yearning for an actual GL Kdrama.
>>4510767I just like Japanese GLs quite a bit. Though I'm already watching a few Thai ones here and there.>>4510903If you mean the name of the drama, it's in the filename. It's a SoL that covers three different couples living in the same apartment building, with the lesbian couple as one of them. I'm not far enough into it to know how much attention they get overall, but from what I've heard, they're the only couple in the show who even share a kiss scene, so I'm hopeful.
>>4511014If Korea got bucked by FF then China got NUKED. Broke every Kdrama stream record under the sun over there. Opened a can of worms on RedNote about various topics. Come season 2 they'll brand it a national security threat lmao
>>4511019They basically are filming A Couple Of Mirrors s2, or at least thats the rumour going on.Yeah, China loves GL and Yuri.
>>4498101I've just been introduced to the Thai Yuri world and I loved it, it wasn't a big series, just that miniseries called 'Hello, is this luck?' , the only problem is I see so many different clips from different series without sources and they all look so good, what are some good reccomendations?
>>4511032Isn't Thailand the most LGBT friendly place in the world or something like that, I hear over there they just don't care
>>4511059Its a lot more than most asian countries and le west at some stuff.We were talking about China, Nihon and South Korea tho, those are pretty fucking conservative asian countries.
>>4511056Start with Gap and then basically watch whatever that seems cool.
>>4511056This woman is an absolute disaster, my favourite type of character to root for
>>4511066Isn't she the type of het girl most people here hate
>>4511069Nah, its a perfect yuri doujinshi scenario.
>>4505945Interested in this too
>>4505945>>4511074It's hard to answer, all sex scenes are Safe for TV.GAP, Loyal Pin, Affair, Harmony Secret, Mate and Clairebell are decent (the Uncut versions of course). By that I mean they don't fade to black immediately and sometimes you hear moaning and see implied motions.There are probably more, the content rating is usually a good indicator.
>>4511062>and le west at some stuff.Why do you anti-west thaislop shills lie on the internet?
>>4511032>China loves GL and YuriWrong, Chinese nerds and outcasts love yuri. The government is doing their absolute most to kill it as best as they can. You cant claim a country loves something they are increasingly unable to consume due to their regime banning and limiting it all over. It's people who love it and not even a large chunk. It just seems that way because China has a retardedly huge population.And the reason they hate homosexuality is because they fucked their own population with the 1 child law that anybody with a brain knew was not going to end well and now there are too many men in the country. Lesbians are actively a problem to the CCP because they get in the way of the nuclear family they are currently pushing with all their might to balance out the skewed gender ratios and there are too few women as is. You would think the retards at the CCP would make homosexuality for men more popularized so that they could at least get rid of superficial males, but that is icky, so the convervative retards would never.
>>4511150Communists have never been friends to lgbt folks. Crazy how many of them still support communism tho, idk why.
>>4511150Chinese nerds and outcasts outnumber most countries' populations. Their boomer government is bigot central that hates Kpop, gays, even video games. But this too will erode.>the rest of the postOh please stop with the castle intrigue and armchair geopolitics. Homophobia isn't a China unique policy nor is it an economic model gap. It's a generational gap and young snapping back against the old is not really a thing in Asia. This is why Asian countries which are the complete opposite of China, like Korea and Japan, also have anti-gay homophobic laws and their boomers are just as vile. The only reason why they sometimes relent in comparison is because they're more susceptible to western HRA efforts. But even then they find ways to illegally and undemocratically fuck us over (everybody that keeps up with gay marriage laws in Japan knows what I'm talking about).
>>4511151That's oversimplifying it. Lots of socialist countries decriminalized gay sex before the block fell. Bulgaria, East Germany, Czechoslovakia and Hungary all decriminalized gay sex in the 60s, well before the US Supreme Court struck their last ones down in 2003. In the 80s, East Germany in particular was becoming far more accepting of gay people. Today, most Communist parties outside of very conservative countries are pro-LGBT and Cuba has some of the best legal protections for LGBT people in Latin America.
That EWB trailer has me mega excited, holy shit
>>4511406Can someone exolain this whole Thai GL thing, why are these two 'announced' as a pairing and then subsequently do a few GL stuff together
>>4510752>Ishii Anna x Ono KarinNice.But where do we get our drama and movies from now that MagicStar seems to have completely given up uploading stuff?>>4510764There is SakaShima's adaption coming soon. But again, I don't know where to get it.I mean, without MagicStar uploading stuff I don't even know what series are airing. I discovered some jewels just because they were among the stuff they uploaded, maybe we're missing some unknown series. I don't know anyone that makes seasonal drama lists like they do with anime.
>>4511069>het girlShe's a raging dyke in denial.She idolizes some similing popular guy from work while she cant's stop looking into the eyes of some hot girl she just met.She slept with the girl, had the old "b-but I like dude-kun, I don't like women" and then slept with the girl again.Even if the actresses weren't a new love team, the series goes to show disaster girl is clearly put off by guy even after acepting being his girlfriend and never kiss him or even holding his hand, while still seeing the other girl.We'll have the last episode on Monday.Note aside, I love Jan's black hair and hairdo and not the one on EWB but I guess she has to look more mature/older for Lal as in the novel both characters are 32.
>>4498632>Stranger Things 5 vol 1 has some development on Robin and Vicky but only for like 3 mins of screentime together, which is honestly a lot more /u/ than I was expecting from this series.And that's all folks, as finale goes they forgot she even exists, they forgot about that promised romantic dinner they baited with and suddenly only thing we got in epilogue moment is a complain about overbearing partner from Robin side where Vicky doesn't even show up.But hey the other grown-up couple gets romantic dinner moment with proposal as heir resolution and gay main boy gets a bf in a bar.Fuck you retarded writers.
>>4511693Jan's acting really sells the character for me, the scene where she says 'You're a woman, it doesn't mean you'll fall in love with me' and she's doing these exaggerated gestures like she's overacting awkwardly to convince herself or something
>>4511693https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szjsltGMePc she looks fucking stunning here, if this is what she really looks like they had to nerf her for the series' she's in even if she looks cute in MuteLuv
>>4511708It is kind of laughable they gave her no screentime at all, but what did you really expect? Vicky was already a side character and her girlfriend is one step further removed from that.I assume everyone else like me was just watching this season out of a morbid sense of obligation anyway.
>>4505265Thank you for trying to modernize it at least
Here's to hoping 2026's hyped up Thai GL show doesn't end up being mid like last year. Excluding Girl Rules, I don't have any expectations for this show
>>4511836You mean EWB?
>>4511630>But where do we get our drama and movies from now that MagicStar seems to have completely given up uploading stuff?You either get into private torrent trackers like Avistaz (which helps quite a bit) or look around for them. You can find fansubbers sharing them (even if you don't need subs, subbers also share the RAWs themselves for softsubs) on places like Tumblr, Twitter, or the D-Addicts forums. Sometimes people will share where to find stuff in the comments sections on MyDramaList. And there's also DramaOtaku, which is where you'll likely find a lot of things these days if you manage to get into it. It's all quite annoying if I'm being honest, but there's not much you can do about it.
>>4511836You mean 4 Elements?Please don't expect EWB to be a masterpiece because it's not that kind of novel and I don't expect it to be that kind of show. I look forward to it a ton and we'll see how it rolls out but I don't expect it to be "series of the year" material, just a very good slice of life dramedy.>Excluding Girl Rules, I don't have any expectations for this showIt may not end up as bad as everyone has already convinced themselves it will be. The problem is that fans had time to make up so many stories in their heads and expect unrealistically so much sex and couple mixing that the final product will be dissapointing for them no matter what. While it airs I'll be avoiding any online discussion about the series so I can enjoy it for what it is. I did that with Poisonous Love and Clairebell and it was freeing not reading the shit slinging fests from fans about the actresses and the debbie downers complaining about everything.
>being ruffled by the posibility that GR or EWB or 4E are gonna be mid when HER exists...
>>4511854>Please don't expect EWB to be a masterpiece because it's not that kind of novel and I don't expect it to be that kind of show.NTA but the chemistry Janjingjing have is off the charts which is why I'm excited, I am amazed they can be friends and do that sort of stuff to each other even if just acting
>>4511855Don't even get me started on what a shitshow it'll be when Her marketing starts. There's already so much controversy over a pilot. Made me disappointed in the actresses too for okaying this tooI'm excited for the underdog GLs though, last year's were so good
>>4511826>It is kind of laughable they gave her no screentime at all, but what did you really expect?That she would show up at least in one scene with Robin than what we got. Seeing that other gay dude got a scene with a bf at the end it feels a bit unfair. Hell Robin and Vicky could be in the same restaurant the other couple proposed in and would be just clasping on the side showing them in one passing image.
>>4511846>Tumblr, TwitterAre there accounts dedicated to uploading stuff so one can simply check them rather than searching the title of the drama and finding tons of useless posts of people posting images and opinions?>D-Addicts forumsI see it's empty so I guess everything is hidden and you have to register.>DramaOtakuIs this only for the list of seasonal drama or are there downloads too? I see a pirate section but that's empty too so another one forcing you to register but they won't even allow you to register.>Registration is currently closed. We will reopen in Fall 2025>AvistazI'm already there because I was forced to register to get things in the past, the problem is the ratio systerm, basically I can download only once a year when they make a free download week so I can get all the stuff I have bookmarked during the year, or wait months to reach 10.000 points to buy 250 GB which isn't much considering there are 20 GB movies and 4 GB episodes. It's unsustainable for weekly releases.And anyway even them don't have a lot of stuff that MagicStar used to post.
Is…. Tsukuritai Onna to Tabetai Onna any good? One of the girl is cute but the other one is kinda manly and ugly. But if the writing is good I might watch it.
>>4511422The industry is too small for the shows to sustain themselves, so it relies on fanservice stuff like streams, interviews, reaction videos, behind the scenes footage and fan meetings to increase the revenue. The companies will pair talent they have under contract (usually by taking popularity and both on-screen and off-screen chemistry into consideration) and have them only act as each other's partners in any series, unless it's a side or non-romantic role. At the same time, they basically pretend they're all over each other irl during the fan meetings and other fanservice events (some might not be pretending). This brings the revenue up and makes GL endeavours profitable.
>>4511846>>4511926Myself, I just do DDL from mkvdrama.net. They usually upload stuff on the same day it airs.
>>4512066Thank you but they don't seem to have much stuff. Don't they upload only subbed stuff? That would explain why searching for japanese and ordering by last added there's Chaser game W on the third row despite being over since one year and half. That won't be much useful since most stuff will always be without subs.Also>using retarded made up english titlesLike, I tried searching for a series in the japanese section but if you use the real title it won't even show up.At least the downloads aren't on those garbage sites that make you download at 50 kb/s but still with episodes that are 2 GB and more and with even a 6 GB limit per day...
>>4512064>The companies will pair talent they have under contract (usually by taking popularity and both on-screen and off-screen chemistry into consideration)Damn I'ven ever heard of that before, that's really interesting, makes janjingjing feel like something more than a fan pairing then.
>>4512090>I've never heard of that beforeIt's just what is typically called "business yuri" (百合営業). Japanese idols and then after them kpop/chinese idols, and drama actresses from all three countries have been doing it for decades. It allows them do do flirty and otherwise romantic/cute shit for appeal while also maintaining the the illusion that they're virgins to appeal to the otaku crowd that make up the majority audience for those industries, because they would immediate shit on any girl who is dating a guy or even flirts with one, but stuff between girls "doesn't count" and they are notably just messing around rather than actually lesbian.Here it has the added benefit of baiting people into emotional investment across multiple series.
>>4512064>(some might not be pretending)*none
>>4512090Sometimes the pairing is "random", as in they pick a girl under contract, maybe a popular one, and then do casting with a bunch of others they have under contract and see what "sticks". Other times one of the girls suggests someone she'd like to be paired with, and other times both girls want to be paired. Ultimately, it's up to the company if the pairing is approved or not, though.
>>4512090Don't ship actresses irl. Just have fun watching all the GL series.
>>4512097>girls want to be paired.Piploy was basically beggin to be part of a ship a couple of days ago, that said she was doing it in the most gay way ever.Its weird how all the opportunities she had to be part of a ship where shoot down, like she was supposed to be the lawyer in Love Bake Feeling, seeing how it happens in the same universe as Whale Store.
>>4512138I will at least admire how janjingjing can be that intimatewith each other in the EWB trailer and be friends
>>4512139They'll probably pair her off with Earn whenever the next wave of the shows comes.
>>4512094I believe Shelly and Pundao have confirmed that they're dating, so that's at least one case where you're wrong. It's best to assume it's all just for show, though. Delusional shipping is unhealthy.
>>4512139>>4512143Maybe she'll get a redemption/romance arc in "Ditto". I doubt they'll pass the chance and miss out on her popularity, when GMMTV announced the 8 shows a lot of people were dissatisfied with Piploy not getting a GL pairing, many wanted her with JingJing, I don't know why though - I didn't finish Whale Store.Probably a case of musical chairs shipping, 2 girls were left from the cast of Whale Store XO, so they get shipped.Similar to GieArt (Angie and Attar) from Clairebell - they didn't even meet in the show, but Mine Media (or maybe just Davika) is thoroughly building that ship on social media. I absolutely expect a show with them soon.And I absolutely expect a show with Piploy not later than early 2027. Wouldn't be surprised if they push for one in 2026.
>>4512151The girl from Clairbelle came out last week, and the main girl from Runaway has talked about how her family has issues with her dating women, and a lot of people think that MayFay are dating in the same vein as Pundao and Shelly.But i don't really do irl shipping.>>4512165Her character is the protag of another novel in the Dittoverse, and Milk's char twin is obsessed with her, i think her love interest in her novel is another chick, not Earn character or the twin thou
>>4512063It's very good but don't expect kissing and romance. Don't be put off by Kasuga, she's big but not manly at all.Don't bother with the manga, it's practically the same as the series and goes beyond just a little more and the author is a troll by making the characters asexual lesbians, meaning they live like a married couple but never have sex and only had a peck like, once. Some people just hate themselves, I swear.
Why are Thai characters named after food and such
>>4512228Those are nicknames, because their names are too long even for them.
>>4512243That sounds fucking hilarious,and the thought of some hardcore Thai nationalist out there insisting on using the correct names for everything.
>>4512243So in Lily Love 2, not TV series but a Manwha but still, there's a character called Ice which is obviously a nickname but the other girl is called Ploylalyn and I'm assuming even that is a short version of what her name actually is?
>>4512271Speaking of LL2, Ratana Satis is the first time in a Yuri I experienced Thai culture, including stuff like the honorifics they have overthere. Were it not for that I wouldn't realise they were doing it in shows like Muteluv. I have no idea how popular she is over there but I'd love to see Pulse or LL2 adapted in live action...albeit her work is hella' nsfw for TV
>>4512271Dunno about that one but for example many have mentioned Enemies with Benefits and Muteluv: Hello, Is This Luck? here, the actresses's nicknames are Jan and Jingjing, but their real first names are Ployshompoo and Varitsara.Then you have award shows, in which they name the nominees as "(nickname) (firstname)", so the actress Rachanun Mahawan (nicknamed "Film") would be referred as "Film Rachanun".
>>4512280>but their real first names are Ployshompoo and Varitsara.Huh, they don't seem too bad though? It...must feel weird having a birthname and not getting to hear it almost ever
>>4512280I meant theres a literal example in the show, Muteluv, where Jingjing's character added another word to her name as a nickname.
>>4512281I think its longer in thai letters, like when you see a thai name in words you kinda get it.
>>4512284I'll be honest, I can't speak Japanese but I can hear words mentioned if I see an anime without subtitles, I honestly can't even discern any phoentic pronunciations when I watch Thai shows and of course their written language is to a non native just a seeming collection of wavy shapes. Makes me wonder how hard it is to learn...
>>4511926>Are there accounts dedicated to uploading stuffNot really, or at least I don't think so. You'll only have some fansubbers sharing links and the like. I'd say you should just get around to following a few of them, so you can keep up with the releases.You can use this: https://fansub.d-addicts.com/Jdrama_Fansub_Map to find direct links to subbing projects and the like, though these days, most things only get uploaded to DramaOtaku.>D-Addicts forums>DramaOtakuBoth of those require you to register to use them, yeah. DO will open registrations every once in a while, but they're ridiculously stupid. Like, it's way worse than Avistaz or any other private tracker I've seen to get into. It's where you'll be able to find most things these days if you manage to register, though. They've got their own RAW source and all.https://drama-otaku.com/raw-source/dramaclub/Also, Avistaz really tries to push you into paying them. You could bite the bullet and either buy a seedbox or donate to them and get the VIP rank, but I'm not sure how worth it that would be. The whole thing is just designed to just be annoying for free users.
>>4512286I mean its probably easier to pick up than Chinese.
>>4512298That might be true but it might also be like saying getting elbowed in the throat isn't as bad as being punched in the throat. It's all just a dream really, but now I'm into Thai GL I really would like to be able to experience it all, but I think we're doing good with the TL front so it's not too bad I guess
>>451229855555555555555555555
>>4512300Getting elbowed in the throat is worse than getting punched in the throat, i know because i did that to a friend by mistake and i punched some retard under the chin and believe me is it wasn't as effective.>>4512301>55555555555555555555That webspeak is actually really good.
>>4512302>>4512301It's funny you did this, because you probably saw the 5555 thing and looked it up and learned it's pronounced similar to 'ha' and thus understood it as a way of saying lol. In the process you learned a fraction of a fraction of fraction of Thai by immersing yourself in it and you didn't even realise, like you really could keep going
>>4512303Dude, i'm on tiktok and twitter. You see that lol/555555 in every other Thai GL post. Sometimes, the algo just werks.
>>4512305I still think the logic makes sense, you know what it is so technically if you listened hard enough you're bound to pick up more stuff I think, even if you are being taught by sexy gl
>>4512306I mean is more or less what you get by watching animu, you pick stuff even if you just watch, just by that low level exposure.That said i don't think i can ever get the alphabet, same as russian or arab or indian, my brain can't deal with it.
>>4512307nothing can be as bad as the prospect of learning 2000 Kanji
>>4512228Imagine you're watching some show called Pluto and it's a serious scene and there's some character called Batman. It took me out
This video pretty much answers a lot of questions about Thai GL that people have here, i.e. about the nick names, the language, the cliches and where to start/find the shows and also why shitty parents aren't ignored. I think it's neat for beginners... so I "pinned" it with a picture of LingOrm.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MTnianKNlY
>>4511826Coming from someone who didn't hate the show, sure I always would want more /u/ and the show should have been entirely lesbian after season 3. But Robin and Vicky were given a lot of scenes together this season and it's impressive how not only did the show include a lesbian character, but they ended up making her an MC where her gayness wasn't just a throwaway detail. Her scene about learning she was gay was a centerpiece for her character's entire story arc and the motivator for multiple big plot points this season. It is very surprising how significant being gay became this season and Robin's actress did a phenomenal job with it. The biggest streaming platform's most iconic show has an unambiguous and well acted lesbian character that 10s of millions are going to watch. Getting that in a billion dollar franchise is basically unprecedented.
>>4512372I see you didn't get the memo. In here we pretend that the west is bad at yuri and downplay the good and exaggerate the bad it does, while pretending japan/korea/thailand is good at yuri and exaggerate the good and downplay the bad it does.
>>4512295But do DramaOtaku uploads only the stuff they sub or do they have also the raws for all the stuff released in Japan?If they have all the raws I may just register to this to have everything.>they're ridiculously stupidWhat do they do other than telling you to register but the registrations are closed? Do they ask you something to approve your registration?Do they have a ratio system like Avistaz, meaning you won't be able to download much from them either? Do they force you to do things like leaving comments or uploading stuff?>buy a seedboxThat's useless, the problem is people won't download anything exactly because of their ratio system, because they can't download whatever they want or their ratio will go down, so you're left with a bunch of stuff seeding with no activity. The points system to buy GB is good though, even if nobody is downloading you can get points simply by seeding, even if the rates are ridiculous, 0,01 points for hour for a torrent until a max of 2, and then 0,1 points for hour for 10+ GB torrents. During the free download week I've downloaded a few 10,1 GB torrent I don't even need just to get those points, but my hard disk has a limit of storage I can waste for seeding.
>>4512394God, private trackers sound like an exhausting nightmare.
>>4512399They are. That's why the loss of MagicStar is tragic.
>>4512372I didn't hate the show either, I just think it was mid. Well, I did kind of hate the secret Russian lab season. But anyway my point is just that it's on brand for them to forget about the lesbian side character while spending an entire hour on wrap-ups that jerk off on nostalgia for their own show's original core cast.
>>4512372The show itself became shit after s3, and lets be honest here it gets so bad about Robin and her personal life that just today one of the creators basically went full Bandai with Robin's 'partner' comment at the end.Also 10 years for five 8 eps seasons feels insane.
how do i watch queendom, 23.5, etc that have been removed from official free channels?
>>451259423.5 is on IQIYI and still on Netflix everywhere except (I think) North America. IQIYI is cheap af and has biult a nice GL collection that keeps growing. 4 Elements: The Earth will start airing there on the 24th and Girl Rules will eventually be there too.Considering 23.5, Pluto and GR (GMMTV GLs) are/will be there, it won't be surprising if their new GLs start airing there instead of for free on YT.Queendom is on WeTV, like Love Design, Like a Palette (give it a chance, it's unapogetically lesbian), and Denied Love. Denied Love's special episode with their twin kids will air on the 29th.
>>4512368This is actually very helpful and informative, thank you. Also I'm watching Chaser Game W and I'm loving it, does kind of feel that they're a bit opposed to kissing properly so far but maybe they will later idk
>>4512394>Do they ask you something to approve your registration?Picrel. I just remember laughing out loud when I first saw this. I've really never seen anything like it. You also need an active Twitter/MDL account to get in, IIRC. >Do they have a ratio system like Avistaz, meaning you won't be able to download much from them either? I'm not sure if there's a ratio system, but they recently introduced this download limit for free users. Not much better than Avistaz when it comes to that overall.https://drama-otaku.com/announcement-the-all-you-can-download-buffet-is-closing/
>>4512714Lmao, as expected of Japanese drama fans. They be doing too much.Personally didn't have too hard of a time with Avistaz, most of the Thai GLs were either free downloads or half downloads and I seeded long enough where now I just need to download something once every 90 days so my acc doesn't get deleted
>>4512714>pic>Twitter/MDL account>linkNot happening then. That's way worse than Avistaz.What's with dramafags being so retarded? Imagine if all anime and manga were as gatekept as drama. And for what reason?Thank god we have nyaa. Though they also have closed registrations for years, so I can't even comment under MagicStar releases to ask them about their projects for the future with all the series they've dropped and with at least two seasons of drama not covered.
>>4512070GMMTV just posted pic rel, so I think we're safe when it comes to the final episode.
>>4512859Sorry, no idea why it quoted that post...
Thai GL shows are too hard to find and they're all over the fucking place, really kills the hype for me
>>4513077Nigga...what the fuck are you talking about?Just search by name on google and you are gonna get to a miriad of streaming sites to watch them, even the uncuts, specially the uncuts.
>>4513080Do I have to stream them?
>>4513077For ThaiGL it's only Youtube, IQIYI or WeTV. How do you deal with Netflix, HBOMax, Disney+, AppleTV, et al? >>4513081Yes, always unless you get into one of those fancy torrent sites.You can watch it all in pirated streaming sites but you'll get eye cancer because the quality is often atrocious.Remember that a cute lesbian dies everytime you pirate a yuri show you have available in another platform. And dies TRAGICALLY if it was available for free.
>>4513077>>4513081>>4513084https://glflix.webflow.io/For catalog and the ones that are on YouTube.https://mkvdrama.net/And here you can dl the ones behind paywalls.No need for Avistaz or other cuckery.KissKH is the last resort since the quality is shit.
>>4513157>here you can dl the ones behind paywalls>search Futari escape>no results
>>4513191The question was about Thai GLs, not Jap shit.
Muteluv finale dropped, watching Na play the victim is making it really hard to like her right now
>>4513266Did these writers even read their script, horrible ending. Why go out of their way to make Leemhai the objectively better option and then not have Na see it, instead Leemhai apologizes for 'pressuring' her, when Na strung her (and Nine, but he's a clown so who cares) along
>>4513208You may be on the wrong board.
>>4512859>>4513266I think its kinda funny how the director has now another DENIED YURI under his belt, are they supposed to be the anti-yuri ringer? i'm just gonna ignore his next GL related work.Also, again, it is really funny how GMMTV did this why a ship that is supposed to have a show in the next couple of months.Its really something.
>>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QWaNhdDxssITS HABBENING!
>>4513360Not saying it's good, but I've kinda' come round to it, I like that it at least had the open ending on Na and Leemhai finding each other, I just think it didn't really earn that life lesson of 'i just need to be by myself' and all that. Felt like she was acknowledging she's the villain in the story but without actually admitting it. And all the scenes where they contrasted how Na was so relxed with Leemhai in comparison to being a rabbit in headlights with Nine felt like pure bait, she slept with Leemhai twice for christ's sakes
>>4513157>https://glflix.webflow.io/Any China and Korean shows in there which have good endings?
>>4513368I just think its kinda dumb to give this Real Life Rules to a mini set in an anthology about magic, cults and shit like that.It felt bad written, outside of the GL content and all that i mean, i assume it is because this originally started like a regular love triangle with the dude in the middle and they decided to change it but for some reason they didn't actually pulled the trigger?Whatever, thanks heavens that EWB is made by another production team and its based on a novel.
>>4513371No...kinda...yes i guess?Korea is kinda lame because all the GL content is 99% het with a secondary ship, Love Exe and Nevertheless, Pyramid Game? or subtext that should have been clear text like Friendly Rivalry but it wasn't and Chinese stuff has to respect the censors, A Couple Of Mirrors is based on a GL chinese manga and they softened most stuff but the setting is pretty much the same, a female assassin meets and start to live with a widow and subtext ensues.
I assume the audience of the anthology is mostly het and BL, it simply feels like they had to 'soften' it for that audience.Which is weird because i don't think they would care either way, they would simply not watch something that don't caters to them, not that i'm actually blaming them thou
>>4513374I'd accept it more if the guy wasn't portrayed as a complete retard, well I thought that's what they were trying to do but maybe it was their idea of 'quirky'. whatever, Na didn't owe Leemhai a relationship but she sure treated her badly
>>4513375Thats the thing, he wasn't on the race, the show didn't give a shit about him, thats in part the issue.This wasn't a love triangle in reality, this was about Na being a shit to Leemhai and to him because she was 'confused' but the narrative literally did not cared about him outside of the most surface level possible and they put Leemhai on the maybe ''predator'' side of the story by her own admission.Thats why the show feels underwritten and unearned at the end, the openness of the ending completely killed the story, someone on the writing team keep thinking this was a love triangle for some reason even when they weren't writing it. I think they simply chew a lot more they should have.
What i don't get is why are people saying that its an open ending?in what way exactly is this even open? both Leemhai and Nine are with gfs at the end of the show and that for some stupid reason once again serves to show us, the audience, that Na feels a lot more for Leemhai than for NineIts ok to have a bad ending guys or to be unsatisfied by a mid ending, which this was.
>>4513384I want to know why Na admits Leemhai made her feel so comfortable just vibing and doing nothing, shagged her twice, obviously likes her and wanted a partner and she found someone who said she was her inspiration and loved her she couldn't say 'yes'? It's not like Leemhai wanted to get married and adopt children, the only issue is she didn't wanna' turn down Nine for some fucking reason.
>>4513386I think they just wrote the ending first and went back from it to the start lol
Just finished Chaser Game W season 1, that was a mega rushed ending but I found the series enjoyable and the leads were super cute
>>4513373>Korea is kinda lame because all the GL content is 99% het with a secondary shipunnie... "all" Korean GL content counts in the web dramasand there's plenty of those from Red Q, Sukfilm, QueerDeep etc.The Chinese also have couple of Rela/The L webseries, no? Associated with the dating app that moved to Taiwan. Also there's the spirit/wuxia thingies like Yunze, Led Astray, Souls Sisters etc. Because it's masked as wuxia it gets away with some things, like BL danmei, but yeah it's still tame. Kisses mostly obscured and no steamy sexo scenes.Also uncensored When We Met got posted in these threads.
>>4513392Considering the original trailer from 2024 had Na and Leemai fight for the guy instead of them being into each other, that's completely plausible.For me the ending was appropiate. Na is so much of a shitty person to herself, her friends, and her potential partners that honestly I'd have felt bad for Leemai if she had ended up with a cheating, lying woman.The guy was an absolute retard, it's dumb she entertained the idea of being into him when she was grossed out everytime he showed his personality.Na is one of those people who needs to take a long introspective journey before being with someone else.Weirdly, Na's house is Mon's house and the guy's house is Sam's from Gap. The houses are most like next to each other irl.
>>4513407Oh, i do give them the Youtube content, they are doing pretty solid there.
>>4513407>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEFReZyssKQThis was kino, i haven't tried their new webshow but now that we are getting only Like A Palette til the last week of the month i'm going to watch that.I really, really love this type of agegap, like Love Design.
More Muteluv: Is this luck? pre production stuff:Pic is from GMMTV 2025 catalog, released after the trailer pilot released on November 2024. The synopsis is completely different to the trailer pilot and the final product.The qr code led to the original trailer pilot which GMMTV has already made private (they did that with Pluto's too), but here it is, for comparison, from 1:28 until 2:07: https://www.bilibili.tv/en/video/4793772232937472sorry for the bl shit watermarks but it's the first I foundtl,dr: they probably changed Is This Luck? many times until someone told the writers "hey, they girls are gonna be in a love team, make it kinda lesbian".
gflix is uncut stuff yeah?
>>4513417One one hand GMMTV did a supar attempt at dyke that generic story out in failed miserably on the other hand is really telling that they did try, it tell us that they are taken by surprise by the growing GL audience, i believe they did what any company does when they see a nascent market and they planted a toe in, but it wasn't enough, they should have put both feet in because the way GL content grew the last couple of years has been insane.
Started Clairbell, Claire got off very lightly with the drugs right? I thought it was a capital offense?
>>4513476That Claire Danes film, Brokedown Palace told me the Thais don't fuck around with drug sentences.Bell is the one with the drugs, Claire is Miss Stabby Mcstabstab. The series took some creative freedom with how prison and sentences should work.
>https://glflix.webflow.io/upcoming-gl-seriesWhy there's so many new series?Too much is too much.
>>4513610Not enough. Need more.Madoka bless Thailand for galvanizing every lesbo in that hemisphere.
>>451361060% of the links here are from webseries that have always been available for free (mostly from YT's H'our channel and JPC Series), all are the same and are way shorter than the standard 8 episode series. The other 30% are ThaiGLs that aired on thai tv but are available for free on YT for international audiences. The remaining 10% is japanese yuri piracy and an ocassional movie.Learn to filter (with your eyes and brain) what is good and you may want to watch instead of complaining we got a lot of stuff.
Just a rumor. They won't do it, they don't have the GUTS.
>>4513654>mainstream ChinaIF this happened to be, the most lesbian thing it'd happen would be the girls' pinky fingers touching for two whole seconds as they both reach for the same teacup at the same time.>they don't have the GUTSYeah, they'd rather keep their lives safe.
>>4513656Yeah it's definitely just some delulu shippers having fun wishcasting. Sure, their GL web dramas and short movies are getting kinda racey, on par with Koreans, but a full GL series with high profile actresses? No way, the boomers are still alive.
>>4510611Thank you for the recommendation. 4 eps into Love Design, and like it quite a bit so far.
>>4513660And don't forget Pooh bear and the CCP breathing down their necks.
>>4513675>>4511155
>>4513610Nah, that still is really small when compared to BL.
>>4513713Is there a reason why BL is so big? Are their dramas steamy like ours?
>>4513722>Is there a reason why BL is so big?do not underestimate the fujoshi market
>>4513722Straight women watch dudes fucking, while straight men do not watch anything that is not center on straight men.
Streaming ClaireBell and it looks so rough man, let me have Blu Rays PLEASE
Can someone just clarify quickly, in the uncut Ep4 of ClaireBell, all they do is have sex in the Greenhouse by Bell topping Claire with some fingering, we don't see any more or more of what they do in the showers right?
>>4514063If you're watching the uncut version (on OneD, the official version) that's it, that's the whole thing.
>>4514065I see, thank you. I won't keep liveblogging I just wanted to check.
Looks like Clairebell's getting 3 special episodes taking place after the show's ending starting on Jan 16th. Should've used that for better pacing in the actual show The Earth is airing on Jan 24thBe My Angel is apparently airing on Jan 30thFunny how they're all releasing close to the weekend. God how I hate that they take Twitter trends very seriously over there
>>4514285I'm excited, I just wish this was available in more places and physically, it should be way bigger, if they're gonna' go to this effort with it especially.
>>4514285Kino, we are about to launch the new GL year.
>>4514370Is it pretentious to say I might have set the bar too high for myself watching this first?
>>4514372No, since it's not even a high bar
>>4514382Am I just falling for high production values?
>>4508513Well, turns out it was a movie. It’ll be out on May 15 in Japan.
>>4514451Oof. I assume they'll actually have a budget this time...but it being a Japanese movie might make it harder for international fans to watch legally? Still too early to tell.
>>4514462CGW and most recen Japanese yuri are available in Gagaoolala as they air on TV. I assume they'll release the movie there too, at least some time after it is in Japan.
Any rip for SakaShima's drama?
Sorry, just have to say that Claire crying at the bruises and seeing Bell barely able to shower without pain was the scene that finally got to me, hot damn
>>4514513>at least some time after it is in JapanThat's the part I wasn't looking forward to. Japanese fans are annoyingly tight-lipped about spoilers. Was hoping some Chinese fans would go to the showing, but I don't think that'll happen in this current climateWith majority these Thai GL actresses having boyfriends, it's genuinely so nice to see an actress being open that she has a girlfriend>Miusic from Runaway https://x.com/hifrom_flo/status/2009594422732984774Also, Be My Angel's official trailer is out and it is airing on Jan 30th on iQiYihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNmEsiEekHA
how overt is the siscon in Sharp Objects compared to Ginger Snaps? I already know Amy Adams' sister kisses her (non-sexually)
>>4514578Nothing?https://twitter.com/tears_silver/status/2009927000090456326
>>4515051Its more pronounced in the novel, but its there...also the whole non-sexually is debatable when you put some stuff in context.
Mieruko-chan is finally out of the private tracker prison.We already knew from the trailer that they added a non-existing boy character and nothing good could came out of it but it's unthinkable how useless he is, he doesn't contribute anything to the story, they stuck him on Yuria like he is her master teaching her about ghosts, he doesn't do anything himself and he's even wrong about stuff. But the worst part is they made Hana fawning over him, saying how cool he is. It was unwatchable.Until the end when it's revealed he's a ghost and Hana was talking about a girl instead.Regardless, it was a stupid addition, annoying for the whole movie.Other than that there wasn't much, just the part about Miko saving Hana, but that goes for the anime too, the only good parts come later in the story so we'll never see them animated or in a drama.
