I'm experiencing romance fatigueAny recs where the romance is not even a secondary focal point?Like for example; Girls' Last Tour, Sounan desu ka, etc
>>4508086>I want yuri without romance, in fact the yuri should be acknowledged as little as possibleMaybe go fuck yourself?
>>4508087What's with the aggression, sis? are you on your period?Not every story have to hyperfocus on the romantic relationship of the MC. Not every yuri manga is romance manga.>>I want yuri without romance, in fact the yuri should be acknowledged as little as possibleSo extreme, stop quoting the voice in your head
>>4508088I just summed up what you implicitly said. Give me the definition of yuri. No I will skip that part. It's "Romance or sexual content between girls"Can you see the flaw with your retarded request now? If there is no romance or sex, it's not actually yuri focused. What you want is a label stamped onto two girls so you can feel better about consuming something that is not actually yuri. You would be fine with a story that just says "These two women are married" and that never coming up again or mattering. Lip service. I am saying, you are on the wrong board.
>>4508086All the classic yuribaits
>>4508094>If there is no romanceAwful reading comprehension. Go cool your head off and then come back.
>>4508094Stop projecting whatever that is onto me.I never asked for the absence of yuri. I just asked for yuri where the romance is not the main narrative.>"These two women are married" and that never coming up again or mattering. Lip service. That'd just make it bad, but that doesnt make it not yuri.>>4508099Not yuri
>>4508094>"Romance or sexual content between girls"Yuri is much more than that.
>>4508107>>4508086>"Any recs where the romance is not even a secondary focal point?"What, do you want it to be a tertiary focal point? Quarternery focal point? What does that look like you dumb bitch?You could have just said you want yuri that doesn't just focuses on romance or insert any random genre you want like combat or economics or sports. You fucked up.>>4508108It is the most basic definition you build on obviously. But no, it is not more than that, it just is nuances of that.
>>4508107>>"These two women are married" and that never coming up again or mattering. Lip service. >That'd just make it bad, but that doesnt make it not yuri.No, that makes it 'representation' without any actual yuri value. Aka what the a bunch of morons on /lgbt/ want hence why you were told this is the wrong board for you.

It seems pretty obvious what anon was requesting. You could just post recommendations, or ignore, instead taking the worst possible interpretation and ruining another thread with arguments and schizoposting.>Saki, Liar Satsuki Can See Death, Mahou Shoujo Tokushuusen Asuka, Qualia the Purple, Onee-sama and the Giant, Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou.See, easy.
>>4508113>lists a bunch of non-yuri subtext seriesYeah that about sums up why the requesrt was retarded.>Toji no MikoThe entire plot is about the romance between two girls across reincarnations you dumb fuck.
>>4508114Kek is only interested in starting shit over whatever triggers her, she can't ignore it because the only thing in this board that she wants to discuss.
>>4508114How do you so confidently make a claim and then list several non-yuri works? You are just kinda proving the point.
>>4508116>The entire plot is about the romance between two girls across reincarnations you dumb fuck.
>>4508118>>4508116All of those are yuri.
>>4508116It's been a while, but I think that's a different "no Miko."
>4508119Ah shit, I mixed it up with Himegami no Miko, the Kannazuki no Miko spinoff.
>>4508122An honest mistake. I'm sure your knowledge of what counts as yuri is unimpeachable.
>>4508120Nope. Ones that are not yuri:KakeguruiSpec Ops AsukaQueen's Blade (unless you think mindless porn about bisluts counts)Yama no SusumeLiar Satsuki Can See DeathMahou Shoujo Tokushuusen AsukaAnd the rest all just hav irrelevant yuri side-couples. You really wanna tell me these are yuri manga because some side-couples exist? Then any het focused work with a yuri side-couple would count.Saki is an extra dumb case, because technically its yuri, but the author actively avoids acknowledging it all the time.
>>4508124Kakegurui was such a disappointment. The prequel manga was very obviously trying to yuribait but couldnt even deliver.
>>4508116>you dumb fuck.Ironic post.
>>4508124>KakeguruiYuri>Spec Ops AsukaYuri>>4508124>Queen's BladeYuri>Liar Satsuki Can See DeathYuri>Mahou Shoujo Tokushuusen AsukaYuriYou're out.
>>4508161>quotes post twiceWow what a fuck up.>just claims non-yuri stuff is yuriTypical shitposter. How about you substantiate that then? Let's start easy. Where is the explicit yuri in Kakegurui? One-sided crushes and fanservice imagery do not count. They either have to be a couple of fuck. Your move.
>>4508124This trolling attempt kinda falls flat when you even list Asuka (twice) where the romance and love interest are a major part and ends in a very explicit relationship of the main couple.
>>4508167>One-sided crushesThis too is yuri.
>>4508086>Girls' Last Tour>yuriBait post.
>>4508086Majo no Tabitabi. I've been reading the novels and Elaina is a gay woman without a shadow of a doubt. Still there is 1-2 yuri related stories in every volume.

>>4508087NTA but>I want yuri without romanceAbsolutely does not equate to>in fact the yuri should be acknowledged as little as possibleThat only happens in anime. There’s plenty of hetshit which is called so because either there’s pre-established couples or there’s characters showing explicit attraction towards the opposite sex. They’re not centered towards romance, doesn’t make it any less het. I think anon was looking for the same stuff but yuri.

>>4508452
which version of amayo no tsuki is better? fan tl or official?
>>4508018Been out of reading yuri for a couple of years. So the last time would've been roughly 2022. Would you say the past 3 years have been good for the genre with works both new, old and in progress or have been lacklustre?
>>4508462>Would you say the past 3 years have been good for the genre with works both new, old and in progressYes
>>4508455
>>4508462Yuri has only gotten better with each passing year. Many of the old shitty tropes and cliches have faded and been abandoned.
https://x.com/ItsAnimeJP/status/2003663214501122167English subs for the Watanare movie will also be on new years stream
>>4508462same old shit
>>4508480
>>4508462The best to be said is that expectations for yuri series nowadays are very different, there is also a rise of X but yuri series too, especially fantasy.
I've been watching Generic Fantasy Anime because I've been itching for a fantasy show that wasn't an isekai and the healer girl kept kissing the warrior girl on the forehead whenever she had to heal her. It was a little surprising because you'd expect the healer girl to have the most chemistry with the dumb warrior guy but instead she has the most chemistry with the dumb warrior girl. There's even some DV in the last episode when the healer girl puts the warrior girl in a headlock and the one guy is like, "oh, they're so close now". Dumb show overall though.
>>4508562Just watch ROLL OVER AND DIE next season and stop watching hetshit you fucking retard
Merry Christmas, Carol.
>>4508580WTF is this Kamala Harris X Hillary Clinton yuri?
>>4508592Nah it's some show about a middle aged woman and a Columbian guy fighting an alien invasion, the other girl is the queen alien.
>>4508564Can't wait for all the Linus and Maria scenes. Also, omaegotoki is an isekai, although the anime probably won't get that far.
>>4508605Linus is pretty cool, Maria is annoying though, at most it will animate to vol 3, but v1 and v2 seems more likely.
>>4508596>Guy and girl fight aliens>Top alien happen to be female>Somehow this is /u/The premise based on the trailer sound pretty boring. Is the girl at least gay?
>>4508632Anon's description is a little misleading, but the protagonist is a lesbian, and it's definitely /u/. Beyond that is spoilers, but personally I would highly recommend it.
I want to start my yearly rewatch of candy boy but I need to wrap presents and get all my stuff ready before tomorrow. I hope all of /u/ can make the time to enjoy yuri to celebrate.
>>4508636>candy boyhow much yuri activity in this
>>4508640The story follows twin sisters who are an established couple from the first episode and everything that follows shows them making their relationship stronger. A good number of episodes take place around christmas so this is a perfect time to join the yearly tradition watching it over the holidays. Episodes are short since this initially launched as a promo collaboration with a music video (song was called Candy Boy) so the whole series is about the length of a movie. Their relationship development is the pure focus in every episode and the maturity it handles it with sets the bar so high that I've been watching it every year and still find new things to appreciate about it. It's one of the highlights of the season and I look forward to it every year.>View order: ONA (DVD) -> 1 -> 2 -> EX1 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> 7 -> EX2
Why is it called candy “boy” anyway, is it referring to one of the characters?
>>4508669I remember that the name had a reason and a meaning, which in itself made sense, the problem is that I don't remember where I read that and what that meaning was.
>>4508669Because the first ONA was made to promote the song/single of the same name. When the song and title was made, they did not yet know that it was going to turn into a story about lesbian twin sisters. That was written after the song was finished.

>>4508605>omaegotoki is an isekaiactual isekai or native isekai?
>>4508707It's...actually Post zombie apocalypse reincarnation reverse isekai
>yuri artist deleted their gallery off twitterFuck
>>4508751Same movie every time, they complain, they leave, they come back when they realize whatever platform they went gets them no views, it's a shitty situation but unless another service or legislation comes up nothing will change.
>>4508752So you're a youngling who doesn't remember the pixiv exodus over a far more innocent issue than this.
>>4508756What happened?
>>4508756Anon, X has probably a million times more users than pixiv, going from pixiv to whatever other plataform is a non issue, going from X to another plataform means losing 99% of your audience, they already left X once and they all came back because they have no options.
Merry Yurimas. What are /u/ doing for Christmas? I will watch Candy boy later I never watched it but >>4508647 reminded me.

>>4508912ive seen some artist actually being active on Misskey but the issue is the still the same like how this anon pointed out >>4508761>going from X to another plataform means losing 99% of your audience
>>4508555>The best to be said is that expectations for yuri series nowadays are very differentWhat has changed, if I may ask?
>>4508934Girls are expected to slap and strangle each other instead of kissing.
>>4508707>native isekaiGirl you mean fantasy?
>>4508941Never got the 'native isekai' thing. Where's the rebirth? Where's the 'other world', the literal meaning of 'isekai'?Did the anime/manga community regress so far that it forgot the word 'fantasy' in the fantasy genre?
>>4508953It's because authors started to write fantasy stories with isekai elements without the isekai part.
>>4508954>isekai elements without the isekai partGirl you mean JRPG mechanics?
>>4508967>jrpg mechanicsno such a thing, they all copied from wrpgs
>>4508969Girl you mean you're just being pedantic?
>>4508865Shitposting on /u/ and watching watatabe, what else?
>>4508953It's a term for fantasy that is not isekai but might as well be because it takes every cliche from it. Omae Gotoki is a perfect example due to its use of the "cheat skill" trope that is otherwise exclusive to isekai.
>>4508969Dragon Quest, the most famous Western Role-Playing Game.

>>4508979>Horii played a game called Ultima 1: The First Age of Darkness, a primitive RPG by today's standards but one that, when viewed, can be seen as a clear inspiration for RPGs like Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, and more. "That really inspired me," Horii says. He remembers thinking, "If I make a game like this, it'll surely become a hit." Unlike Ultima, which was a PC game, he wanted to create something like it (or like Wizardry, another game he mentions as inspirational)
>>4508988All RPGs are ultimately derived from Dungeons & Dragons, but that doesn't make jap videogames into Western RPGs.
>>4508981She hadn't really been active in at least 20 years, and most of her works are non yuri. Rest in peace though.
>>4508985Thank you for the links
I want to meet the visionaries who created candy boy and learn how they were so able to be so far ahead of their time. The relationship is handled so tenderly, and you can feel the care that went into exploring all the reasons why their love for each other is unshakeable. I could spend all night praising it but I want to enjoy more episodes tonight.

Im trying to remember the name of a depressing yuri oneshot i read. It started off with a woman from the city going to her rural hometown for her relatives funeral.her childhood friend relative always wanted to escape the countryside but couldn't because of her family. The two had matching keychains on their bag, but got into a fight.at the end the protagonist throw them into the river or something
>>4509201>Still posting futa
>>4509142>Made Yuri with Grok.AI slop isn't yuri
>>4508228Elaina is not remotely gay and the girl who has a one-sided crush on her gets rejected. Nothing yuri ever actually happens in the entire fucking series.This is the kind of scumsuckers that retarded post attracted.
>>4508252That's still trying to get rid of the fucking yuri. Do you not understand that yuri = romance? If you just acknowlege lesbians exist that isnt yuri by itself and has zero worth beyond "representation".
>>4509237>Nothing yuri ever actually happens in the entire fucking seriesThis is not correct, there are explicitly lesbian side moments from minor characters, but it is true that >Elaina is a gay woman without a shadow of a doubtis complete bullshit. She's a generic non-sexual cute girl protagonist.
Gaylaina.
Elaina is my favorite yuri harem protagonist.
When season 2 airs, Jougi should just have Elaina come out already.
>>4509253What does she have against pillows? Is it a pillow's fault, or all pillows' fault, that she's so rampantly gay?
>>4509242Elaina literally says she doesn't want to travel with Amnesia because she knows she would fall in love with her.
>>4509254Probably because whenever she sleeps she starts having really gay dreams about every single girl she came across in her journey suing her for making them fall in love with her and stealing their hearts. Which is a real chapter.
>>4509242Elaina is gay. A bisexual male prostitute who prefers other men offered to sleep with her because he swings both ways, and Elaina refused, explicitly saying that she doesn't (swing both ways). She's a lesbian.
>>4509257>Which is a real chapter.The dream, or the suing?
>>4509237>>4509242
>>4509244>the alternate version of her who is actually interested in romance with girls is notably stand out for that aspect>>4509256>she actively avoids even the hypothetical of romanceYou are not helping disprove her just being every other generic non-sexual CGDCT protagonist. Trying to reframe a girl who has, for TWENTY FOUR fucking volumes openly expressed disinterest in romance and refused to even entertain the idea of pursuing romance with anyone including the girl who ostensibly liked her from the start as "h-haha, she's just a quirky closet lesbian, she's SUPER GAY you guys, j-just in denial!" is pretty far past the border of just having been actually queerbaited. The story has been going for a literal fucking decade and she hasn't done anything actually gay yet. I've never understood why its handful of fans want so badly to die on a hill about it.>>4509261Gonna need an actual source on that one.
>>4509266Reminder that Elaina feminized that one incubus and turned him into a trap prostitute.
>Canon gay wedding still more yuri than anything that happened in marimite
>>4509266It's not a romance manga, I'm not sure what you want to hear, people are just telling you accurately what the lore of the character is, she is portrayed as attracted to girls as other girls attracted to her, whether this is enough for you or not is not really relevant to this discussion, you are not important to us, it's your problem if you don't like something.
>>4509266>Gonna need an actual source on that one.I don't remember what volume, but it's the story where Elaina helps out an incubus who sucks at seducing women.
>>4509270Okay
>>4509263The suing is part of the dream. Or, at least it started with them already in court.
What did Elaina mean by this?
>>4509285She meant that maybe in another 24 volumes she'll think about dating a girl.
What will end first, the Ukraine war or the GuP Das Finale movies?
>>4508108Yeah, usually it's gigantic amount of blueballing because creators either are disallowed to or are afraid of making an actual conclusion.
people are saying its a lot gayer than the source material
>>4509318People are saying ur a faget.

>>4509332Has youtube unbanned his old channel?
>>4509239>acknowlege lesbiansIs not the same thing as acknowledging yuri, because i never denied that>yuri = romanceYuri inherently implies romance, but not centering on romance does not mean it’s not yuri. Plenty of shows have hetshit without focusing on hetshit, why can’t the same happen with yuri?
>>4509332which ones? the brony shit or sonic underground
>30 million yuris written>zero coupleswhat's her problem?
I thought about and i think i dont like Watanare or atleast the start.I like Mai but she spend all this season getting cucked away from a girl she was helping open up simply because main girls is in a closet made from glass and dosnt want to leave.Story just makes me feel bad with no comfort
>>4509318can't wait to find out if that's true in one year or something
>>4509445>>Plenty of shows have hetshit without focusing on hetshit, why can’t the same happen with yuri?Out of sheer hypocrisy, this aspect is often ignored. You have two or more girls with a strong relationship, even one that's important to the series itself. People will deny that it's yuri for various reasons (because they don't like it), but there's a minimal amount of het that's a joke in the best cases (like Kyotaro), and you'll have people pretending how incredibly het the series is. You only need a man to exist or have his existence hinted at for it to be considered het.
>>4509518First this always ultimately will go down to the same thing, either the series has content people will objectively or at least interpret as romantic or you are going to spend all your time in a pointless discussion you will never win trying to prove something which you have zero means to with people who disagree there are romantic elements at all.Second this board is guilty of the same thing, so many people will come here to claim there there is yuri in X while dismissing the relationship the girls have with male characters or words that came out of their own mouths showing romantic interest in guys.
>>4509535I know both cases, the problem is that in the first one, the obvious romantic implications of the characters are always denied and are denied for stupid reasons, look what happened with SHY and people denying yuri, when the series showed that yuri was something real, these people just disappeared.In the second case, they are even more stupid people, since rather than defending a couple they like, they are more people who want to show their superior taste and how they are better than other living beings.Gridman is the most pathetic example of people sinking lower and being dumber than Mugino, being territorial and annoying (the couple in question being quite bad) only to end up hiding when the official content showed what normal people could see from the first episode.Rock wa Lady and Priconne could fall into this category, but they are somewhat more harmless since they have people who don't really care about the series in question.Regarding Het, the hetfags will consider even the smallest shipptease (if there is one) as canon, official, and the only answer, since they consider themselves privileged beings who will see the light that others do not. Here you can see that the decision of some series not even to have male characters in the background is not an exaggeration.
>sometimes hear on 4chins about artificial wombs having potential to make women obsolete>when we cloned a sheep over 2 decades agoSo what stops people from just taking DNA only from women, mixing them and having said women bear children?
>>4509551Society as a whole can you imagine screeching males ?They already have terror nightmares about this very possiblity with mutiple movies
>>4509551>>4243623
>>4509544Very few people actually believed Gundam would go in a different direction because the foundation for that relationship is strongly built within the series even with only ambiguous romantic moments, SHY ended in status quo and the foundation isn't as strong, so it may actually have validated some negative expectations. I don't see the point in pretending "Yuri" is some type of victim, when shipping is always inherently unbalanced and most of the time this is a consequence of people not understanding what is actually pandering to them or not.
two-panel comic idea:Panel one:half-dressed office woman holds her live-in succubus girlfriend's head to her crotch to feed her before going off to workPanel two:"Succubus" girlfriend and her friend at a restaurant, "succubus" girlfriend with a dozen huge plates of food on the table surrounding her and half way through scarfing down a giant stack of pancakes. her friend across the table says something like "her pussy can't be THAT good".
>>4509555Proles have hardly any power. It's the politicians and richfags keeping the possibility down.
It's worth noting that every josei anime adaptation for next year is centered around female relationships as opposed to hetero romance. One step closer to yuri josei manga being adapted maybe.
>>4509592Green manga has a josei label, though the fact is there just aren't many yuri josei that last more than 2 volumes, Tsukitabe, Pinky Candy Kiss and Koinega (which just ended) are rare cases.
>>4509551Physically? Nothing.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaguya_(mouse)Practically? People fucking whine non-stop about ethics when you do anything even remotely approaching human genetic manipulation or cloning, even before we get to the issue of retards losing their shit over embryos. So no research can ever be done to hone the process so it's never going to be a viable thing.
After Sanda i'm never going to watch another Science Saru anime ever again.
>>4509551I'm currently dying on the hill that counties like Japan or South Korea will have IVG births will be the first to implement them due to men's rapidly declining sperm counts and quality. The proliferation of data centers poisoning the environment around them will make it just as much of a necessity in the US.Eventually the amount of het couples willing to do this will plateau and any country that has a similar program in place will have to turn to lesbian couples and it'll only take a few high profile people for it to really take off.

At this point, I wonder if Bocchi will even survive a second season or if it will end up becoming something even dumber than Yuru Camp or One Punch Man (Season 1 sold a series completely different from what the actual material is).>>4509687What it needs is to make the anime yuri or at least have real subtext and not half-hearted, half-hearted shipping (like WUG). After that, the money and fame will come on their own (like Mygo or GBC).

Not to mention all the shit in Sword Art Online by A1, studio directly under Aniplex which is owned by Sony. Or the servant designs in FGO, game also controlled by Aniplex She was speaking her will. She hates fanservice. Stop defending an enemy.Maebashi is not even maintext, you don't have to defend her here
>>4509870Do you also apply this standard when het manga like HeroAca also never says the main couple get together?
>>4509873Of course I do, MHA is one of the most pathetic endings for what started as a explicit romantic subplot, the whole chapter walks around the subject of romance and ends with a handshake, not even hand holding. And of course no subtext ending is complete without the director or author in this case going out of their way to do an interview and tell their audience how it's all platonic admiration and they can interpret it in any way they want. Shonen Jump has been distancing itself from romance for a while now, Oda even had to explain to his audience that the only reason Luffy was interested in a girl in one chapter was because he wanted to look cool in front of his other crew members.
>>4509872SONY does not want to censor everything, they specifically wanted Bocchi to be family friend because they believed it has a great mainstream reach. They have no reason to censor beyond nudity pathetic romcom/harem anime which will never be mainstream or Fate shit which only sells to coomers. I will defend her because this type of thing has been happening with anime since the 60s and it has never stopped, people are just shocked someone was honest about it, it's not a new thing and is even absurd to think an scriptwriter has control over stuff like this to begin with, she is only working in the lines of what she was told to do.
>>4509849You must be at least 28 to post on /u/
>>4509880Regardless of your opinions of Bocchi and Fate, why do you think they see a cute girl show having more mainstream potential than historical figures doing anime fights?. Action has been the super mainstream anime genre forever. Look at Solo Leveling and all the other popular mainstream slop. What is the connection? It's all fighting shows. And FGO pulls high numbers. You'd think they would try to appeal to these people and demand censorship of Fate to try and make it mainstream. Why would they focus on Bocchi over a genre that has proven itself to have a much easier time getting mainstream (and before FGO started, the Ufo shows showed high potential of it, what with the whole "unlimited budget works thing". Ufo proved Their jingling keys work)Stop defending the bitch. It's her. Her own choice and words and beliefs. Not Sony. You are delusional
>>4509849The parody version of MUG rootbeer in Voices of the Void.
>>4509890NTA but Bocchi's source of income was music, not expensive dolls, ecchi merch or pngs made for waifufags.
Ito tweeted two whole times! Does this mean she's getting better and will come back to us?
>>4509890First it's not my opinion on Bocchi, she literally said the idea was to make it more family friendly. Second it's not what I think, it's what I think producers think.Almost every action anime has censorship nowadays, besides censoring nudity which is something they can't get around of course, I'm not sure why you are under the impression this isn't a common practice in the industry, the Fate UBW anime changed tons of scenes to tone down the ecchi from the original work, something which BTW was much more extreme in the original Deen anime of the Saber route. Though most action series nowadays aren't even that ecchi anymore to start with, so you usually get small censorship like it happened with MHA and OPM, they skipped some stuff and changed costumes, they just didn't have the scriptwriter saying they did this because they wanted to make it less lewd for you to have a villain you can bitch about. And just so you know, the FGO gatcha has also been changing the character costumes for a while now.They determined removing a bath scene from Bocchi would be inconsequential and they were proven right with how popular the anime was, now does removing a bath scene really makes Bocchi more mainstream? Very likely not, but the industry has always been overzealous in regards to ecchi. Stop falling for internet retardation you fucking retard, what happened on Bocchi is no different from what already happens everywhere and has been happening since the 60s.
>>4509897Symphogear's source of income is also music and failed to break into mainstreamYou need to stop projecting your tastes as those of the mainstream. And the point is Sony could force Fate to not use that stuff as source of income if they really want to censor stuff with mainstream appeal for the mainstream.Stop defending a censor. She stated pretty clearly her own belief. Not Sony's
>>4509903Who knows, the issue with Ito's disease is that is some type of pulmonary disease, which is know for giving people a false sense of security, the body gets used to having less oxygen and they start believing they are feeling better, just to overwork and end months in the hospital again, which is exactly what Ito has described happening to her before.
>>4509906Holy fuck. Stop defending her. And no, FGO hasn't been changing any costumes or lolicon appeal. Summer Miyu was one of the servants in this year's summer event. Come on, now. For Fate UBW: They were using Realta Nua. Now HF movies combined Realta Nua stuff with stuff from the original>hey just didn't have the scriptwriter saying they did this because they wanted to make it less lewd for you to have a villain you can bitch aboutAnd there's the difference. If she opens her mouth to support censorship, she should be condemned like all the laws and TV regulations forcing censorshipShe stated her retarded beliefs and should be called out. Kill yourself, retard
Does and yuri ever go full school days? I read one where she gutted the girl in the middle of sex after catching her cheating, but that was a short ero doujin
Why do people feel the need to defend a crazy retard who hasn't even made any maintext? I'd understand the yuri board wanting to defend maintext writers. But her one original work where she's not using someone else's writing is incredibly mediocre and not yuri. Why defend such a person?
>>4509910Anon, you are just finding excuses to justify what was 100% thought to tone down the ecchi aspects of the original work, just like you see everywhere, every single person you see crying about censorship in the end bows down like a bitch the same, get upset at the industry, at producers, don't be a retard and make a villain out of someone whose job is very simple and just follow directives.
>>4509913Kill yourself and stop defending the crazy bootliker bitch. It's her beliefs. She's not "just following orders"She made it pretty clear she agrees with censors. You are a retard bootlicking someone who hates you
oh boy! another bocchi 'noise' debate!
>>4509881I'm 30
Next: Will you defend Kyoani's baitphonium staff because "they were just following producers orders to make it yuribait"?How about Trigger and Gridman? Are they innocent and the real villain who forced het is Tsuburaya? Fuck off
>>4509917Lol, keep hating someone just doing their job while you pretend to be the resistance.
>>4509921She was clear in the interview. Are you her boyfriend or girlfriend? Why defend her so much? RetardWill you defend Bandai's "up to interpretation" bullshit next? They were just doing their jobs protecting Gundam as a mainstream franchise after all
Yuribait and downplaying yuri has also happened forever in the industry. Guess if people keep doing that, it's not so bad and should be defended because "it's been happening forever" and that's "how the industry works" or whatever, right?
>>4509920Oh incredible examples because I remember very well telling people those series were not yuri and retards like you doubling down and then later getting upset because you didn't listen, there is nothing to defend, it's 100% your fault.
>>4509924I never for a second stated any of those shows were yuri.Euphonium never interested me. And Gridman is an spin-off and secret sequel of a het toku. With also a male MC interested in a girl. I was never one of the retards who fell for Trigger's bait and shitty pandering. I knew het was the plan from the startIf they wanted to make it truly yuri, the MC'd have been a girl. There'd be no boy
Guess the chinese who were attacking that one Lycoris writer who shipped Chisato/Majima were wrong. That guy was just doing his job. He shouldn't have been attacked. Chisato/Majima is an industry thing and he was just manipulated to support it
>>4509922Do I personally blame the executive that said that? Of course not, I'm not a child. He just said what was the company position at that moment in regards to that, it's his job to say stuff like this, which didn't even last long since the BDs were out in the next month.>>4509923No one is saying censorship is good, what is being said is that you are a retard who happily found a target to be upset when everyone is doing the same, you know what you do when you are upset? You don't spend money on it and spend money on things that make you happy. It's the only reason you are getting more yuri than ever, more people spending money on yuri instead of anime that only gives you scraps.>>4509925Then you have nothing to complain about. It was blatant obvious to anyone with a brain, especially in Hibikek case when the novels where already out and they were objectively not yuri.
>>4509907>Symphogear's source of income is also music and failed to break into mainstreamSomehow they managed to make a fuckton of seasons and a gacha on top of that.Somehow I see somewhat similar thing in games - a game that's somewhat unheard of yet having a decent amount of reviews on Steam.
>>4509928>anime that only gives you scrapWhich includes the writing of this retard you love so muchThe point is: Staff can be shitty too. And should be held responsible for shitty beliefs and actions instead of going "they're just an smol innocent bean forced by the mean industry devil"You could ignore me instead of doing this retarded white knight shit
>>4509927First it definitely wasn't his job to like ships, second the series in question does not have any canon couple at all so you are just getting upset at his preference and not him acting in an unprofessional way, so you are just showing me you get upset at things that don't warranty it.
>>4509929Because it succeeded in Japan. But failed in the west. A true mainstream success is something like JJK, Dragon Ball or Demon Slayer that is super popular everywhere instead of just japan
>>4509930Anon, if you want to call her out for doing a shitty job you won't get a complaint from me, if you want to criticize her scriptwritting go ahead, but censorship it's not her fault, it's the industry standard.
>>4509931You are in a board that supported a bunch of rabid chinese people harrassing this person over "his preference". It his job to promote the show and het is more mainstream than yuri thus supporting het ships is not wrong because it's his job to make it mainstream or whatever is the argument you use to white knight the censor bitch
>>4509929>>4509932Symphogear was popular with otaku, that all there is to it, it doesn't translate to other audiences and does not translate to the west either.
>>4509934And she defends this industry standardYuribaiting and downplaying yuri as "up to interpretation" is also forced by this "mean industry standard devil" and so no one's fault. People shouldn't have attacked Bandai over it, I guess. It's industry standard to shy out of yuri kisses and weddings, so WfM is a perfect show and the execs involved in the staff not being able to do it shouldn't be called outHell, het is more mainstream and industry standard than yuri. So, it's no one's fault whenever yuri fails to deliver or it's actually yuribait, I guess.
>>4509935I am pretty sure he didn't got the directive to start liking this specific ship amid people upset with the ending, but who knows maybe you are right and he in fact did, if this is the case then it's definitely not his fault.
/u/- White Knights for censors who don't make any yuri
>>4509939And this woman didn't get any directive to speak in support of censorship and to state that she thinks anime fanservice makes people pedo rapists in an interview
>>4509938Anon, it's also part of her job to defend it, they are not going to hire scriptwriter who will go on interviews saying how the higher ups directive was to tone down the anime, it's their job to own it.Like I said in the previous post, the point you are making is moot, we know yuri is not popular and the industry will push against it, nothing you are saying is new, when you don't like something you don't buy it, you don't support them and instead buy a yuri series that gives what you want.
>>4509941She definitely did, all interviews with staff are supposed to be screened before they go out, it's the whole reason why the Gundam debacle happened in the first place, they were supposed to censor the marriage word without you knowing about it.
If you don't like something, don't buy it. That way, people who have offended your high standards will receive a smaller New Year's bonus, and you will grin with satisfaction as you imagine this. Whereas the only practical consequence of harassing online people who are doing their job will be that you will be blocked and left sulking.
>>4509942>reeeeeeeeeeeeeee stop criticising and complaining because it's pointless, just vote with your walletYou are fucking retarded and should fuck off from discussion boards if complaints trigger you this muchFuck off already, you obnoxious white knight
Isn't Maebashi Witches the one where the supposed love interest of the protagonist was extremely ugly in reality?I probably wouldn't be worth discussing even if it was yuri, which it wasn't.
>>4509944So, the chinese fans who harrassed that one Lycoris writer aren't the heroes I was told they are by others here, right?>>4509943How convenient for your narrative. She can't be wrong and retarded. It must be forced by the higher ups. For some convoluted reason, that interview can't have been honest at all.
>>4509945Yes, it will be honestly a healthier life for you.
>>4509946Yes, She was american fat and used magic to look like your standard anime girl
>>4509948I'm not the one triggered by complaints and going "why complain or criticize anything? Pointless. Just buy what you like" in a discussion board
>>4509947>the chinese fans who harrassed that one Lycoris writer aren't the heroes I was toldChinese yuri fans are ALWAYS the heroes and the only yuri fans with any actual standards. except the ones that are obsessed with futa, which is a surprisingly large amount of them
>>4509947Well, I don't think they bought the LycoReco BDs, so they are undoubtedly heroes by any definition, you can rest assured.
>>4509947Maybe she is retarded, but the point is, she is just a public face doing a job of small relevance, there is no point in getting upset at her, you replace her in Bocchi and the next person will do the same thing, you just won't hear about it. Do you see Hamaji upset at this? Even if she is, you will also likely never hear about it, she would rather keep quiet and don't risk upsetting the people spending millions to promote her work.
>>4509951But I was told they should shut up and buy what they like and that complaints are pointless>>4509953And I also didn't buy any of the bitch's work. So it's not wrong for me to complain, then. Just like it's not wrong for the chinese to complain about Lyco
>>4509927>the chinese who were attacking that one Lycoris writer who shipped Chisato/Majimabut the anime itself shipped them, it's not like it was strictly chisa-taki, they should've been mad at the entire staff by that logic
>>4509955The same applies to that one Lycoris dude. Public face doing a job of small relevance. Go tell >>4509953>>4509951 they're wrong for defending the chinese who attacked him if complaining and getting upset is so pointless
>>4509957By white knight anon's logic. They should have just silently refused to buy Lyco discs and merch and not complained at all. Just vote with your wallet, but don't complain. Complaining and pointing fingers is pointless
Remember: Complaining is pointless. No complaints or criticism allowed. The only way you're allowed to express your opinion is your spending choices
Who needs opinions and discussions in the discussion board, am I right?
>>4509958Yes, ultimately this applies to him to, the most the chinese got was just making the guy to stop liking shit on twitter, it didn't make Chisato and Takina more of a reality.
>>4509906>the industry has always been overzealous in regards to ecchiOutliers to this exist, of course. Exception that proves the rule?
>>4509959Yes? What exactly do you think they achieved? Did Chisato and Takina kiss? They didn't even manage to get waifufagging merch with both girls in wedding dresses to stop.
>>4509963Hope you realize no one here supports you on this, right?Why do you come here if you hate pointless complaints so much? Posting criticism and complaints here achieves nothing and yet that has never stopped anyone here
>>4509959well, if some official PR person denied the yuri in a yuri series it would be entirely reasonable to attack them, like the hacks who attempted to censor the gundam weddingbut lycoris was an omnipandering series from the start, the most you could reasonably complain about is that the PR didn't equally promote chisa-taki, but demanding your favorite ship to be given preferential treatment seems self-entitled at best
>>4509965Otaku stuff usually gets a pass, yuri is seen as mostly otaku targetted, so Mahoako and Watanare pretty much only got nudity censored.
>>4509968I came to talk about yuri, not to see you attacking staff because you got upset a bath scene was removed from an anime.
>>4509969The attacks on Gundam achieved nothing. Miorine and Suletta's wedding and any kisses are still off-screen. So by the logic employed here: that attacks was also wrong. As is most internet criticism and complaining because it achieves nothingCriticis and complainers, specially in 4chan have always been screaming to the void to achieve nothing and that has never stopped anyone. I dunno why you suddenly want it to stop and focus on actions that can achieve the desired change
>>4509972And I came to talk about yuri, not to see you attacking me because you got upset I attacked someone who hasn't even written yuri for her retarded words in an interview. What is so yuri about your hours-long defense of this person? You could have had your yuri discussion and ignored my post but chose to keep engaging with me
>>4509967They made them realize which way the wind's blowing.
>>4509974Yes, it was for nothing, they already planned to reconfirm their marriage status on the BDs, in the end of the day it was just an executive telling people to watch the show and make their own conclusion from it.>>4509976Anon, you started bringing up something which wasn't yuri I just followed up on it, there is a reason this discussion mostly get banned on /a/ nowadays, everyone already realized it's unfructuous and people who are upset should just support something else and be done with it.
>>4509980They clearly didn't. 20 years later and we still are waiting for it to work on Nanoha.
>>4509927>that one Lycoris writer who shipped Chisato/MajimaOdd the director, the VAs and the entirety of the staff that made that ship explicit and romantic got away scot-free.>>4509974They made the staff retract their "up for interpretation" statements.
>>4509974you're mistaking me for another anon, i wasn't talking about criticism in general, nor about achieving results, i was just questioning the validity of those particular chinese complaints that were mentionedbesides asking to hold back all vocal criticism is obviously silly, change takes time, and even if something doesn't sell they wouldn't know why if nobody spoke of its issues
>>4509981It was>>4509687 who started talking about non-yuri shitI just replied to express my frustration with the writerYou could've ignored, but nah. Here we are hours later because you had to play white knight and come to a discussion board full of complaints and criticism that fail to achieve anything even though you hate complaints and criticism that fails to achieve anything
>>4509986>besides asking to hold back all vocal criticism is obviously silly, change takes time, and even if something doesn't sell they wouldn't know why if nobody spoke of its issuesThus chinese yuri fans disliking a het ship and expressing their complaints about it and their prefrence for yuri is valid and not wrong
>>4509983Nanoha is a zombie. We can't expect anything out of it
>>4509985>They made the staff retract their "up for interpretation" statements.They never did, the director just followed with what was always the plan, literally at the same time in his twitter he had pinned up an image saying Sulleta and Miorine were married.>>4509987Yes, you could have avoided all of that by just focusing on her shitty writing, this is why you should focus on yuri in the yuri board and this includes the other anon bringing up non yuri works.
>>4509985>They made the staff retract their "up for interpretation" statements.that never happened though, it's still the bandai stance, the director's stance has nothing to do with it, at least until someone from bandai comes out and calls sule-mio married, but don't hold your breath, cause they've obviously been all hush-hush about it ever since it stopped airing; the characters aren't even engaged in the spin-off manga, which parallels pretty much every detail but thatstill, it's a good thing they got some well deserved backlash, maybe in the distant future the anime industry will have abandoned their fear of officially committing to yuri
>>4509990Or you could accept you're as irrelevant as I am and just as my complaining will fail to change anything, you complaining to me won't change me and stop me from complaining about what I want to complain. You have 0 authority here to dictate what I get to complain aboutYour complaining about me doesn't achieve anything either, you have done that which you claim to dislike, you hypocrite. By your own logic you should have not replied to me and just reported me and hope mods take your side and delete my post and ban me. But nah, you chose to post the kind of pointless complaints you hate
>>4509988yes it would be, but what was being reported earlier is harassment of someone who promoted another one of the official ships, not just expressing preferences, which would definitely be in bad faith
It's settled. I'm registering 46 accounts on social network X (formerly known as Twitter) and starting harassing everyone involved in Sasakoi adaptation that I can find.Don't thank me when they remake it with a budget of billions and talented staff, since they'll simply have no other choice.
>>4509990>the director just followed with what was always the planPartly to smother out the firestorm a careless suit had started.>>4509991>it's still the bandai stanceThey're in a Morton's Fork. They have two choices: stick to their guns and insist on the "ambiguous" nature of SuleMio, or sell plastic. They chose the third, wise, position: seethe quietly, seeing the fanbase buy Aerial kits while shipping SuleMio.
>>4509992Anon, it's what boards are for, I don't post to be relevant to anyone, I post for myself, I don't expect you to change whatever viewpoint you have, you clearly are comfortable focusing your hate on that person.
>>4509994This didn't work for OPM S3 which is a disaster 10 times worse than Sasakoi with literally millions account harassing the animators.
>>4509996>They chose the third, wise, position: seethe quietly, seeing the fanbase buy Aerial kits while shipping SuleMiosounds like the first option to me, they sticked to their guns and never declared them married, even on said plastic that's selling nonetheless, so everything worked exactly like they wanted, they held on to plausible deniability while still getting all the yurifag moneywin-win
>>4510000It's on the official BD anon.
>>4509999Fuck. And I was so hopeful it would work.
>>4510003>BDdirector's stance anon, we're talking about bandai here, you don't see them calling sulemio married these days, do you?
>>4509997And I also post for myself, not to be relevant to anyone, including the post that started this hours-long shitshowSo if you can accept this much and stop pushing your "complaining is all pointless, stop it" bullshit we'll be fine
>>4510000They also never declared them not married. They want to, but they can't. Thus, the silent seething.
>>4510005It's the director stance in the official BD of the anime he directed. I honestly don't even see any other opportunity for them to say they are married, unless the new manga has them getting engaged at some point.
>>4510008If they wanted to, they would never had gotten them engaged and made an anime about two girls getting married in the first place.
>>4510008>They also never declared them not marriedexactly, because their stance is that it's 'up to interpretation', they won't ever commit to eitherwhich would be perfectly fine except for the fact that the anime did not leave things up in the air like they're pretending, so it's pretty much censorship of yuri nonethelesswhich is a damn shame because having such a big hit of an historic franchise be officially promoted as maintext yuri could've been a huge boost for the future of original yuri anime, but cowardice won instead
>>4509999The problem and difference is that with Sasakoi they were real fans dissatisfied with the quality of the adaptation (which cannot be defended in the part that the people in charge were too stingy with things that were not so important for this type of series) but with OPM it's a bunch of brainless posers and idiots with delicate egos with little or no real knowledge of the industry and they cannot accept that their sacred cow is "mediocre" and that they cannot use it to project their superiority as individuals.To be honest, I enjoyed OPM in its own way at the time, but I say without exaggeration that Go! Princess Precure did a better job in 50 episodes than OPM did in 12 in the same year.
>>4510010>don't even see any other opportunity for them to say they are marriedwhat?promotional material? merchandise? interviews? literally any random tweet about them?there's nothing but opportunities to do so, but sure enough it never happens, and we know whyhope you're not expecting maintext in the manga
>>4509962The problem is that there's a difference between expressing different opinions and having debates with other people, and being an idiot who can't accept other points of view and attacks those who think differently or have real knowledge of something that that person doesn't know shit about.
>>4510017You want them to say they are married in aerial kits? I don't expect them to have intimacy in the manga, but I don't see why they couldn't get married by the end.
>>4510015Eh, anon, do you really want to be forever on record saying a franchise with literally dozens of millions more readers or watchers than any yuri series will ever have does not have anyone legitimately upset the third season of the anime is terrible, especially when in comparison with the first one?
>>4510019>You want them to say they are married in aerial kitsno reason any character bio couldn't mention it>I don't see why they couldn't get married by the endthe bandai stance is why, as you'll unfortunately find outwould love to be wrong about this of course, but it's been years already and no dice, so i'm left a resigned cynical fuck, sue me
>>4510018>being an idiot who can't accept other points of view and attacks those who think differently or have real knowledge of something that that person doesn't know shit about.So the white kinght who assumed the woman wasn't being honest and couldn't accept me disliking someone who said repugnant shit in an interview and expressed support of retarded practices. There's no evidence she's some slave forced to say this, but gotta white knight. Can't accept those who think differently
>>4509946>>4509949The real problem, and what can truly be criticized, is that the series had the potential to be yuri, and that yuri could have been relevant to at least two characters. When one of the victims of the week was introduced—a woman who was also overweight and who overcame her insecurities, becoming a successful person and even having a girlfriend—that became important in her development into the person she is now. That could have served the overweight girl storyline instead of simply introducing a last-minute villain and a stupid sexual harassment plot that did little to nothing for the affected character.
There was that fireworks show that had SuleMio alongside Kira/Lacus and other het couples, but that's it
>>4509870It is a question of belief because all of fiction needs to be interpreted to some extent.
>>4510022According to them, everything went downhill from Season 2 onwards. Complaints started, so Season 3 isn't an isolated incident. Besides, Season 1 was genuinely a one-off with no intention of being continued, so it's no surprise that nothing has gone right since then. Nobody wanted to work on this series, and for fans to act like idiots over something they don't understand only reinforces that idea. You can't pretend the sad reality is that most OPM fans don't understand that this series is a comedy at the end of the day.It's not about popularity or number of followers, but that those fans are too stupid for their own good (look at the fans of other Jump series like DB to see how retarded they can be)
>>4510024But where are you even looking at those bios? I guess if you want to be cynical, but it's just in my opinion much easier to not publish a new manga at all.
>>4510025An anime is a collaborative effort, regardless of whether someone tries to separate the pieces and blame just one person for something that went wrong or that they don't like. Many aspects were considered by several people, and those people approved them. Furthermore, the people who worked on it accepted what they were given. We're not talking about slaves; they accepted the work and are just as responsible for the mistakes as those in charge.
>>4510033I think you are mixing two different things here, yes it probably was a mess in terms of anime production and the expectation a new team would be able to follow up was unrealistic, S2 was an obvious downgrade but still an average action anime production, S3 is just bad, Sasakoi tier of bad with unfinished scenes, lack of animation and inconsistent artwork. I think the original webcomic is more of a comedy series, the murata manga is pretty much a regular action manga.
>>4510035>but it's just in my opinion much easier to not publish a new manga at alland give up all that easy money and advertising?they don't hate yuri or being popular with yurifags, they're just afraid of scaring off the homophobic crowd, this is a huge mainstream franchise after allthe manga so far is the clearest indication of what they want sule-mio to be, a ship that can be milked for all its worth but doesn't cross the line like the anime did, otherwise they would have found a way to parallel the engagement of episode one too
>>4510041To be fair, a lot of episode 1 is still "unadapted"Suletta still hasn't fought Guel once or become HolderAnd where Suletta had Aerial from the start in the anime, the Aerial bikebot was something that took somewhat longer here And there's original stuff that isn't just based on the anime like the bike date that I don't think has a clear parallel to anything from the showMio is also already dealing with Shaddiq. He remains in the background and only becomes relevant after Guel and Elan are defeated, which again hasn't happened yet. So the order of stuff is being played with. It's not playing things as close as you claim.
>>4510041>scaring off the homophobic crowdA crowd that saw a girl very heavily implied to marry another. I'd say that ship has long since sailed.
Business as usual huh
>>4510045you're right, it's not impossible they have yet to play that card, but even if they do i'm betting we won't get a stealth confirmation line this time around>>4510046you have no idea how much denial there is around that to this day, another thing that could've been avoided if bandai officially committed to it>very heavily impliedit's affecting you too, it was no heavy implication, it was fucking confirmed, you don't become someone else's sister in law due to unspecific circumstances
>>4510041I don't think this manga would ever be popular enough to warranty any of this and since Bandai does not sell Bikes I am not sure what exactly they are advertising? I also think this ship has long sailed anon, that crowd isn't getting anything near Suletta or Miorine just because they didn't start engaged in this story.
>>4510057i agree that compared to the anime the manga so far appears to be specifically addressed to yurifags since it's pretty much 10% plot and 90% romantic undertones, but if they're so afraid of officially associating their franchise with gay that they'd go as far as dissimulating what they aired themselves after the fact, i have a hard time believing they'll commit to it in any other form or media, for the very same pair to boot, it would turn into a PR nightmareit's been proven by now that they can have their cake and eat it too by just keeping things ambiguous enough, so why risk doing more?
>>4510059I agree with you they are never to outright say they are a gay couple or show them having intimacy, but they already got married once, so I honestly don't think they are worried getting them married again in a spinoff manga is going to change anything. Like I said, they had the opportunity to change things in the BDs, they didn't, they had the chance to change things in the re-airings, they didn't, mostly because there is no point, they understand they are never really detaching this image from the characters.
>>4510010they never really needed an opportunity to say it was up to interpretation either though... but they did
>>4510088Don't be a revisionist anon, this all started because of the interview fuck up and they thought this statement would calm people.
>>4510090>this all started because of the interview fuck up...which consisted in editing off a statement that the wedding happened
>nurse gets axed>7kano is doneYeah sure just fucking kill all of my favorite series before the year is over.
>>4510099Yes, but it's obvious the seyuu was never supposed to say they were married, it's wasn't her place to do so, it came before even the director's words on it.
>>4510110>My favorite series was a tame nothing happens age gap manga
>>4510112what, the anime itself had it confirmed on screen, what's this new cope that it was top secret information not to be revealed before the BD
>>4510113Yes, I have great taste.
>>4510114Because it factually wasn't.
>>4510022>>4510039You're replying to an ESL retard, he barely understands what you're saying.
>>4510118Touch grass, you're trying way too hard to shitpost.
>>4510118so let me get this straight, your take is:>bandai was never actually against officially stating sulemio are married>the reason bandai censored the interview was because the final confirmation was arranged to be given by the director in the BD commentary, so the VA screwed up by revealing it ahead of time, and was to be rightfully censored>as they were caught in the act, and only because they had to come up with an excuse that would hold until the BD commentary was released, they made up that their stance about the wedding is that it's up to interpretation>now that the all-important BD commentary is finally out in the open, their stance automatically counts as retracted in favor of an implicit open acknowledgement of their wedded status>the fact that at no point in time for over a year bandai hasn't defined sulemio a married couple is mere coincidence, it could happen any day nowdid i get that right? do you seriously think that thing is a more realistic explanation than bandai simply wanting to keep things ambiguous, like it happens for a ton of other anime?
>>4510131Yes, the objective fact is, they sold a product where the director of the work himself states they are married, again if they wanted to make it ambiguous>They had the time to change the BDs to change or remove anime scenes and the director commentary>They had the time to change the newer airings of the showsAnd they never did, whatever you are claiming is taking precedence over the anime itself and the series director.
>>4510140>Yesi'm amazed you were able to say that with a (i assume) straight facei concede, i cannot argue at your level
>>4510146Sorry if Bandai isn't making a post with rainbow flags every 2 months so you can sleep fine.
>Yuri Dragon gets anime by KyoaniBest timeline
>>4510171Nothing ever happens.
The final episode is unambiguous. Suletta and Miorine are married. Anyone disagreeing with this point is a troll or a retard. Companies try to queer-bate and switch all the time, but the reason this got so much more blowback than usual was because it directly contradicted what we all saw on screen. Who knows if Bandai got tricked into producing a show with a gay marriage, or if they'll fuck up any future works, but G-Witch the show is "that gundam where the girls get married at the end," not "that gundam where we're not really sure what happened at the end."Sorry to keep the argument going but I can't stand how "it's open to interpretation" has gotten traction as a meme, even if no one believes it. Stomp that shit out.
>>4510175People are stupid, it's that simple. Don't expect understanding from people who have to be told what to think and are incapable of understanding even the most basic things. I'm not exaggerating.>>The final episode is unambiguous. Suletta and Miorine are married. Anyone disagreeing with this point is a troll or a retard.The ending made it more than clear; that obvious message was conveyed without any problem. But once again, people are stupid, and it's not that a series does a bad job with its narrative, it's that people are stupid.
>>4510171>>4510173Expect stupid hype, people complaining about nonsense, and a final product that can range from good (if it's like Kobayashi) to mediocre verging on bad, like the rest of Kyoani's modern catalog.
The cat who saved yuri manga.
>>4510178it's not yuri, can be the best show of all times, can be the worst, no difference.
>>4510175I wanted a girlfriend for Prospera..
>>4510171Is this even yuri? I thought it was (gay) ass shounen
>>4510186It's not, not even bait, but shounentards love to have pointless "rivalry" to shitpost and they will keep baiting discussions about it being yuri or not.
>>4510186Yes. And it's already looking pretty clear that this will be yet another yuri anime that the crossboard trolls try to undermine.
>>4510177>people are stupid, and it's not that a series does a bad job with its narrative, it's that people are stupid.Putting it this way actually makes me feel better, thanks anon.>>4510183With three seasons we could have definitely got a backstory where she tried to seduce Mio's mom to get at her work on Quiet Zero, then fell in love with her for real before her tragic death.
>>4510190Why does a sentence that reads like it was written by a 5-year-old make you feel better?
>>4510171The fact that Kyoanus got the adaptation pretty much ensured me that the manga is 100% slice of life ending in het.
>the entire cast is nothing but naked girls>zero lewd>zero yuriWhat was the author thinking?
>>4510194Itou-sensei, don't...
>>4510199You're dumb.

Shitty unknown studio again.
>>4510529Kanon has green eyes wtf
>>4510530She does?
>>4510529Tomoe Makino and Shougo Yasukawa are not the worst director and screenwriter, respectively. The only question is the budget and the presence of Itou Miku in the cast.
>>4510529Was always gonna be the case. Yuri's a niche. Slow burn romance drama? more niche. Watatabe had the supernatural aspect, at least. This? It doesn't so it's a niche within a niche. Mundane slow burn yuri romance drama is not gonna be seen as the next best seller, thus it's only gonna attract literally who staff. The focus on exploring a disablitiy (deafness) also makes it more niche. So it was sadly inevitable
>>4510529Damn Saki looks horny.
Wow Ha-san just lost. Sato was super aggressive and already got the family's approval to marry Futami. With the drunk blonde being into the shogi player, who will poor Ha-san date?!
>>4510562Ha-san is for Ha-san.
>>4510566No way. Best girl's gotta have a gf. If only that blond shogi player were so kind as to steal that girl, then the drunk blonde would be alone and have to seek comfort in Ha-san's humble bosom. They'd make a good pairing.
Tae and Jimiko anime when?
>>4510562Ha-san is for Nekonote
>>4510531The question is why doesn't she?
>>4510607The color changes depending on her mood.
>>4510607Why am I blanking out in the front and back girl on the right? Sweaty hand and camera girl? Probably not.
Finally we’ve reached peak.
>>4510614You mean Hazama and Futami? They're from the mangaka series. The question is, who did you think the blonde was?
>>4510619blonde is the mom/piano teacher....right? i think i have to go back.
>only single person in the family is named YayaCan't make this shit up.
Thoughts on the new Cune series?
>>4510656Which one?
I had forgotten how many funny reaction images Bocchi has in it.Also I plan to cast a magic spell that will kill everyone (except me) who posts in the general threads so I can use all your life force to heal Ito so she can get back to work on Shamiko's manga, be warned.
Outsiders paradise author is getting a new series in january, and will finish the final outsider paradise volume soon. She is going to be using even more 3D though because of her injury unfortunately, and said penpen and neru got redesigns (not sure if it meant redesigns for outsiders paradise vol3 or if the characters in this new manga are them)
>>4510532Itou Miku is in the cast?
>>4510763So far, this is a question without an answer. The cast isn't listed yet.
>>4510765So where’d that even come from
>>4510768>The only question is .... and the presence of Itou Miku in the castit is a question that needs to be answered.>where did it come fromshe is /ourgirl/ and is a mandatory inclusion in every yuri project
>>4510686Gou mean aside from penpen having monster hands?
>Bocchi censors boobs and a bath scene, everyone complains >Egatae censors the NTR sex scene delusions from the first chapter, everyone cheersIm starting to notice
>>4510786The subject of this board makes us hate censorship rather selectively. Does that surprise you?
>>4510786The only people genuinely upset about the Bocchi censoring were horny dudes wanting to see naked lesbians.
>>4510789They censored much of the lesbianism too.
>>4510789>lesbians in bocchiWhere, are they in the room with us now?
>>4510686Huh. I thought the 3D was stylistic choice.
>>4510791Can't censor what never existed.
>>4510789what about the horny lesbian girls who wanted to see naked lesbians?
>>4510789Most maintext use fanservice because homoSEXUALITY is about sexuality, not just non-sexual romance. Non-sexual yuri tends to be subtext because it comes with the territory. So: most people here who read or watch maintext are probably seen by the Bocchi scriptwriter as pedo rapists. Dunno why you'd accept thatAlso, by her same logic, if you like Candy Boy: you like real incest>>4510786Did someone in EgaTae's staff come out saying that he thinks fiction=reality and that liking anime girl fanservice makes you a rapist pedo?
Before this devolves in anothet dumb fight I want to complain about the Yuri Seijin Naoko-san OVAs. Who the fuck thought that a supposedly yuri animation needed dick and shota jokes? Don't be fooled by the premise this shit it's the worst yuri anime of all time.
>>4510789So they're right?
>>4510816Because it was made 15 years ago, 20 if you count the manga, when yuri was treated as just another fetish.
>>4510816>this shit it's the worst yuri anime of all time.it wasnt that bad. at least the shota is just a gag and isnt paired with any of the characters, unlike dragonmaid
>>4510822
>>4510816>unnecessary punching-bag joke side character who is just an outlet for dick jokesits okay when pandora in the crimson shell does it though
>>4510840That's a manga thing? I don't remember a sing dick joķe in the Pandora anime and the problem with the Yuri Seijin anime it's the fact that "yuri alien" is the one that talks about dicks and implies that the other girl wants the dick of her little brother.
>>4510792>>4510806
>>4510844>>I don't remember a sing dick joķe in the Pandora animeThe robot lion and the third leg it had, that's where the jokes were.>>Yuri Seijin anime it's the fact that "yuri alien" is the one that talks about dicks and implies that the other girl wants the dick of her little brother.You assume a little about the intentions, the problem is that this is a gag manga, with all that that implies, but it was more about absurd situations with the addition of the alien girl from the yuri planet, the other thing I remember were celebrity jokes and a certain contempt from the MC's friend, but at the end of the day it didn't feel worth it.
That Zenkowa art is approaching 100k likes on twitter..
>>4510846Maybe if it was another Excel Saga or Puni Puni Poenmi I wouldn't care but if your premise it's about a fucking yuri alien trying to yurify the earth then I'll expect at least some standards if you're making a adaptation after things like Strawberry Panic or even Sasameki Koto aired.
Are there any gag manga that focus on bondage?
>>4510844>ķ
>>4510826>>4510845>the empty reaction image reply schizo
>>4510855It's a braindead ESL, pay him no mind.
>>4510853Maybe Magical Girl 101? It's onee-loli but none of the lolis got sexualized (yet)
>>4510849The problem with Yuri Seijin is that there wasn't much yuri to begin with. The premise of the alien yuri, whose yuri was literally being a pervert (in the laziest way possible), is why it had the same VA as Kuroko from Index (get it? That's funny, laugh!). The closest thing to yuri was the MC's friend, but that didn't go beyond subtext at the end of the day. Say what you want about Noko-tan, but at least the yuri was serious.
>>4510855>>4510857
>>4510860>Noko-tan>Meme has the same VA as Baiser/Utena>She was the closest character to Anko that wasn't her sisterI can't stop thinking that Bashame rape corrected Anko's incest tendencies after knowing that.
>>4510789While I can agree that nude scenes in this type of series aren't that necessary (literally, they only serve for comparing and confirming breast size, but even that has problems when the drawing is inconsistent), what is somewhat silly is reducing Bocchi's bust size. I may seem silly, but it actually adds to the joke of Bocchi being insecure but having a good body and appearance (as well as talent). These changes could generate conflicts in the future, and at best, they'll resort to feigning dementia.
>>4510846>the other thing I remember [about Yuri Seijin Naoko-san] were celebrity jokes and a certain contempt from the MC's friendAlso a kickass ED song, how Naoko's phone only works when in proximity to a loli's panties, and how she turned a forest into lesbians to get jt to go elsewhere (or the trees became lesbians as a byproduct of getting them to go elsewhere, I forgot)
>>4510863>implying that incest needs to be corrected
>>4510853Chotto Kawaii Iron Maiden (theres a trap tho)Do-M Joshi to Gakkari Joou-sama
>>4510864Kind of funny that this it's a problem when we had other examples like Hanayamata that was closer to Dropout Idol than to Gochiusa regarding fanservice.
>>4510864pretty sure the manga has already had a few chapters with the girls in awe at her breast size. wonder how the anime will handle those. "social anxiety shy girl with huge tits and a great figure" is a pretty common gag in other manga too
>>4510857I love the slap jpg anon
>>4510869*in the original manga.I forgot to add that part because I'm stupid.
>>4510855Sometimes, it's the only reply a stupid comment like asking where the lesbians are in Bocchi deserve.
>>4510874So, can you tell me where they are? Chapter and page number?
>>4510848Great, now this sulking chink's posts will be even more actively suggested by algorithms, to our delight.
>>4510875Every time Kita appears.
>>4510875>>4510877Just Kita?
>>4510869>>Hanayamata (manga)That makes all of Fruit Tart make more sense; that perversion can't be something sporadic or sudden.Personally, I don't see anything wrong with the nude scenes; that's part of life.>> Gochiusa regarding fanservice.I think we won't see pubic hair jokes in a future anime, although jokes about drugs and drug trafficking or jokes related to guns are fine.>>4510871>>manga has already had a few chapters with the girls in awe at her breast size. wonder how the anime will handle those. They will most likely omit it, partly out of purism and partly because they ruined that with the Maid outfit.
>>4510869qrd?
>>4510884Hanayamata (manga) has a lot of ecchi scenes compared to the anime, I can't remember any ecchi there with the exception of one or two gags. Also mangaka of Hanayamata is also the same author of Dropout Idol Fruit Tart, a yuri anime full of fetishistic content.
>>4510881Bocchi is much more of an actual dyke constantly lusting over girls than Kita who is just star struck by handsome tomboy,
>>4510888That's why I said that explains Fruit Tart; it wasn't one of those cases where an author "breaks free" and exaggerates things, it was a natural progression.A bit off-topic, but I remember someone uploading an official color image from the manga where Yaya looked super attractive, it made you question Naru's mental health for not choosing her from the beginning, even when you consider that Hana wasn't even a real rival or interested in Naru.
>>4510889The best part is that this works perfectly with Bocchi's ego problems; if it weren't for her insecurities and low self-esteem, she would be a complete Lady Killer, and adding the band to the mix, she would definitely be one of those who takes her fans to "private behind-the-scenes sessions."
why are succubi associated with yuri so much when everything about them is much more closely tied to hetshit? (Demons that semen to survive, how yuriful)
>>4510894Demons that need**
>>4510894>why are succubi associated with yuri so muchThey aren't.>semen to surviveThey don't.
What's your top 10 yuri manga that came out this year?
>>4510894>associated with yuri so muchThey're not, it's just some of the latest fads of the genre.>semen to surviveIt's actually sexual energy what they need and that's why it became a fad in the first place.
>>4510894>Demons that semen to surviveBecause that's not true.
>>4510894I don't think they're associated with yuri. But making them into lewd yuri is not hard. They're sex vampires. They may have started as het and more tied to semen, but nothing says you can't replace semen with pussy juices or generic sex energy. You just need to keep the "fuck to survive" premise and you can make lesbo succubus easily. I guess they can be common in hentai because "this lesbo demon needs lesbo sex to survive" is an easy way to justify getting straight to the girls fucking.
>>4510894Japanese Succubi lore is highly inconsistent, it can go from semen drinkers to just girls with horns, though answering your question, there was an increase of use of succubi in heterosexual manga and yuri authors started using it for subversion.
>>4510899I've got high hopes for this detective dork.
>>4510899Don't know if they came out this year but I got into them recently. The 11th cat is Nene, and Witches and Cigarettes. That's it for series, I think.

>>4511186You're right, I don't know how I could forget something so important, especially with powers related to hazy dreams (with Momo).
>>4511177It feels like AI made that image. No proof, of course, but no doubt either
>>4511233It's because you're being drugged by a fox demon.
>>4511241One of the little things I check is the eyebrows. In this case you can see the left girl's are uneven. As in, where the hair intersects, the eyebrow suddenly changes thickness. Artists always draw them in a full stroke so this is a mistake only a machine would make, and a common one. The eyes of course are a dead giveaway. Messy lines and patterns when eyes are generally one of the cleanest parts of any composition. You can see strange lines like that all over, especially in hair coming from nowhere (random hair coming off the right girl's eyebrow above her eye) or left's clothes having a random line where her right shoulder meets the neckline. The heavy artifacting is what likely set off your AI radar because most working with AI neglect to properly upscale.I don't have much issue with promotional AI art for people working on a budget of nil but it could stand to be cleaner.
>>4511286>The heavy artifacting is what likely set off your AI radarThe flatness of the colors, too. But I was ready to assign that to creative choice.

>>4510899Flowers in the Days of Yore was the biggest surprise of 2025. I thought it was gonna run out of steam once the onee-sama got introduced, but it has only gotten more interesting since then.Between old-school comfy yuri, modern-day menhera, and even a mystery subplot, it's such a unique little series.

>>4511226Anybody? I really need to read this
>>4511827It's MTL anon, don't bother.
>>4511834Wow really? I’ve been fooled. I was reading another series they “TL’d” that I thought was decent.
>>4511532Madoka is gay, but I don’t think its yuri.
>>4511820Renako is demonic.
>>4511840Yeah, she didn't add Satsuki and Kaho to the arrangement
>>4511838Yuri is gay
>>4511843Yuri is gay but not all gay is yuri.
>>4511845>not all gay is yuri.That only applies to het series, series with a focus on het, or series where the people in charge think they have talent for writing romance (het) and fail miserably.
>>4511842Well, Kaho is technically a childhood friend, so...
>>4511837They just work the MTL to be legible, you are still getting a guessing game, sometimes it's right, sometimes it's nonsense.

wtf is going on with nanoha?
>>4512297Same shit it has been going on for a decade, they just want the Nanoha brand, they don't give a shit about Nanoha or Fate. They want you to ship the characters but don't you dare call them gay. It's going to flop, the franchise will go away for a long time and they will try again.
>>4512299At least Vivid Strike was a step in the right direction, at least people in the fandom were giving it crap (several NTR jokes), but with the new continuity of the movies, I didn't see the same enthusiasm and technically there were no new characters (beyond that irrelevant androids) and they used the girls from the games.>>they don't give a shit about Nanoha or FateThat becomes painfully obvious when you realize that they are in those movies out of pure obligation; they felt like secondary characters in what was supposed to be their movie, especially Nanoha.>>They want you to ship the characters but don't you dare call them gay. They should give up on that crap by now, the uronfags couldn't be more irrelevant as a species and waifufags are only interested in lolinoha.>>It's going to flop, the franchise will go away for a long time and they will try again.These people should stop doing stupid things, understand who the real audience for this is, and realize that military bureaucracy is the last thing they want. They should already admit that Force was a failure that no (normal) person wants and do things right. If something like Halloween has had like two reboots from the point that matters, what's stopping Nanoha?
>>4512304Vivid and Vivid Strike would have been fine if there was an actual main Nanoha series for them to be companion series, they were too fan tailored to carry the franchise. They are never going to stop because at the core of this they don't want to make another Nanoha story, they just want the setting but producers have zero confidence they can make money without Nanoha on it.
>>4512322>>they just want the setting but producers have zero confidence they can make money without Nanoha on it.Is that because, well, that's the case. Let's not forget that gacha game in the Nanoha world that nobody knew was related to Nanoha until it was canceled and nobody really gave a damn. Let's be honest, this world itself isn't particularly interesting; it's the characters that made that world matter.>>they were too fan tailored to carry the franchise. Even with their problems, they're still better series or products than whatever Force was supposed to be or what the last two movies tried to be. Vivid and Vivid Strike felt like Nanoha and not like the terrible, edgy fanfic that Force was or the self-insertion fanfic that the movies were (self-insertion by the sisters' characters).>>They are never going to stop because at the core of this they don't want to make another Nanoha story,It's already clear that Nanoha and Fate are not only going to be as separated as possible, but they were once again guest characters in another series to make way for an OC that not everyone is going to give a shit about.
>>4512346Not yuri.
>>4512342>>4512342Well yes, the core of the issue is that they are obsessed with the world setting they have and are unable to create new characters to carry the story and let's not act like Nanoha and Fate are incredible characters, they were carried a lot by the character dynamic which was fresh back then. I wasn't really criticizing Vivid or Strike, just saying the expectations for those series were elevated by the fact they didn't manage to create anything else. The best we can hope is that this won't turn like the manga with 2 random dudes having some generic fight with each other and then several chapters of exposition.

Preview for the new Nanoha seasonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzvGIjaMbYE
>>4512382looking as bland as expected from the manga, on top of repeating the usual mistakesbut it's like beating a dead horse now
>>4512395So, will you waste your time on what you admit is beating a dead horse for 3 months when it starts airing?Or do you people plan to keep being bots and repeating the same script and conversation you people do whenever Nanoha is mentioned?The point was made all the 99999 times you people made the same posts. It gets tiresoe to read the same shit over and over again
>>4512290>reuploaded
>>4512400>complaining about people complaining
>>4512400there were something like 5 posts about it on a dead board, what are you afraid of, taking the space of some more image-dump life support?sure it's always the same shit when it's nanoha, that's kind of the problem, but some voiced exasperation when the info drops and confirms all concerns is entirely within reasonand yes, i'll be watching it nonetheless, cause i'm a yurifag so i can't afford to choose, a bland anime is still better than no anime
>>4512405If it was original complaints instead of the same shit over and over. Reading these posts feels like watching all those generic narou shits the industry pukes season after season. It just gets tiresome and boring to see the same shit repeated over and over. At this point, they should just ignore Nanoha unless an extremely unlikely miracle happens and they go maintext with it
>>4512420this might come as a shock for you anon, but you can ignore some posts if you're not interested in them, there's even a hide function
>>4512417You can afford to choose. The summer season is still not full as it's still half a year away. More shows will be announced to air then, including some actual maintext. I'd understand if Nanoha was the only remotely yuri thing in it's season. But that's a conversation for June, when the full list of the season is confirmed>KimiShinu>MahoAko S2>Fighting Games yuri>Amayo no TsukiThese are all confirmed maintext anime but without an specific season. Not all are equally likely to be summer titles, but I think at least 1 will be, so that's something you can watch instead of NanohaSometimes you need to learn to recognize when a franchise you loved in the past has fallen out of grace and to stop engaging with it rather than keep wasting your time on something in a vain hope the glory days will return
>>4512422>you can afford to choose>there might be one anime other than nanoha that season
>>4512420The anime didn't even air yet, when it does the complaints will feel more elaborated as people will have what actually to talk about or not, now if you don't want to read even those, then beg the producers to stop kicking the corpse of a dead franchise while they do their best to pretend some of the aspects that made the franchise popular were a fluke.
>>4512422>No Omae Gotoki and Android which are airing this season>No Botan
so uh i hope this is a okay playce for this but im looking for a yuri manga i read a long time ago and cant find again. maybe someone knows it? heres what i remember:it was about a teenager and a doctor who was working in a hospital (i think they met there bc the teen was treated?). the doctor had all kinds of guilt bc of the age gap but they did it anyways ofc. also she had some problems/drama with former girlfriend(s) or something. the teen had problems at home or in shool i think. i think it was all color (watercolor i think) or at least a lot of pages colored and i remember finding it quite beautiful. if i remember correctly the teen had longer dark hair and the doctors was light (white?) and about shoulder length.
>>4512424So, then, have some goddamned patience and start commenting when it starts and you have something new to sayComplaints aren't my problem. It's just you people are like bots programmed to post the same conversation everytime you detect the word "Nanoha".>>4512423Most seasons don't even have more than 1 or 2 yuri anime to watch anyways, even if we count subtext. If we're lucky with the new Star Detenctive Precure, there could be that to watch tooBut after Wonderful and Kimi to Idol, I don't feel much confidence in that franchise>>4512425I was talking about possible alternatives to Nanoha in the summer season starting in JulyObviously Android and Omae Gotoki will be over by then, same with Botan which is an spring show starting in april
>>4512429>Most seasons don't even have more than 1 or 2 yuri anime to watch anyways, even if we count subtext.that's the pointas a yurifag, even without skipping anything i'm still on an anime drought each season, imagine if i dropped stuff like nanoha by defaultand just because i lament the tragically repeated waste of potential, it doesn't mean i don't find anything enjoyable in it
>>4512428Mikazuki no Carte? Not colored though, are you sure it was a manga and not korean or chinese?
>>4512435>Mikazuki no Cartenot it, but thank youyeah, it was def colored. uh since its been a long while (maybe ab 7-10 years?) since i read it im not 100% sure it was a manga, but i think back then i did not read much else and the boom on korean stuff wasnt really there yet.
>>4512420Asking for "new complaints" is pretty silly, but if the new series does badly (again) you're going to see new complaints added to the old ones, the conversation won't get any better, because the people in charge keep making the same mistakes over and over again, ignoring the aspects that people want to see, like Love Live, only that fandom celebrates those mistakes and criticizes the good.>>4512424The sad thing, and I include myself in this problem, is that it's possible that when the anime comes out, even with its own thread, there won't be much conversation about it, unless it really goes to text, which won't happen, since this is an alternate timeline different from the timeline where the protagonists have a daughter.
>>4512436Are you sure it was a doctor and not a teacher?
>>4512438yeah, parts of the story were about the teen being in the hospital and the doctor treating her. it was more drama than romance.
>>4512437Probably, after all we also agree that anything they have done in the last 10 year is not really interesting to start with, so you end with a series with zero expectation of going beyond subtext which is probably cringe as fuck.
>>4512422>MahoAko S2>Nanoha>same seasonThat is a real problem; any faith one might have had in Nanoha is dead.
>>4512440The problem is that going down that stupid alternate timeline doesn't help the notion of yuri; on the contrary, it's like a regression no one asked for. Now, with Xzy (jat), it doesn't help this series in the slightest. This is something that would make more sense (ironically) with the characters as adults, not with a group of teenagers cosplaying as soldiers. It would even make more sense to take the Vivid cast seriously for this crap, instead of putting Nanoha front and center just to attract nostalgia-obsessed fans. It feels no different than a movie that promotes a glorified cameo by a major actor, while the real protagonists are a group of nobodies.
>>4512439So An Illustrated Guide to Sapphic Behavior should not be it too or Kimi no Tame Dake no Kubiwa.
>>4512442Yes, but we already went over all this, honestly bitchy faggy anon may actually get what they want, people are just going to stop talking about the franchise because they are going to get apathetic to it .
>>4512429>If we're lucky with the new Star Detenctive Precure, there could be that to watch tooBut after Wonderful and Kimi to Idol, I don't feel much confidence in that franchiseFrankly, considering how stupid the fandom has become, or the dumb newbies who came in with Hug (a terrible season, by the way), and how these idiots celebrate every bad decision (come on, Nanoha isn't the only series that's been messing up, but it works the same as LL), I'm more inclined to think Princession Orchestra will do things right and hopefully become a better version of Precure.>>possible alternatives to Nanoha in the summer season starting in JulyRather than alternatives, there would be more series that do things better than a series made by people who don't realize that nobody wants the same nonsense they want, and the fact that these are more yuri makes it worse for Nanoha.>> It's just you people are like bots programmed to post the same conversation everytime you detect the word "Nanoha".I consider myself guilty of doing that stupid thing, I apologize for the inconvenience, but in the end I just want to say and make it clear, Vivid & Vivid Strike were something good and all other attempts are bad.
>>4512444At this point, the Maihimefags should stop demanding a new series and stick with the (little) good they have. When something like Nanoha is milked (just because their other projects failed) simply because it's popular, it's not going to create a good product, especially when these people still don't understand what made Nanoha work in the first place. Higurashi Gou can be considered another example of doing things wrong with an old series, just because people don't give a damn about those people's new projects.
>>4512443no both are not it, but thanks!the artstyle was very different, not as clean, more painted

>>4512451ooh yeah this is it! thanks anon!
I don't get the ESL anon's point but I'll clarifiy that by alternatives I mean: Stuff you can watch instead of tormenting yourself with a franchise that you no longer like.Thus why I focused on stuff that may air the same season. And regarding the regression. It's simple really: They're avoiding FORCEAny story that follows the adult cast, would mean deciding what to do with was supossed to be the main continuation to StrikerS (Vivid was suppossed to be a light hearted low stakes companion spinoff to let people take a breather from the seriousness of FORCE, allowing also some screentime to characters that wouldn't be much involved in FORCE)1) Keep it canon and tell it's story some way (either a remake or some kind of recap of the parts of the story that didn't get to be published) so people aren't lost when they set an story after it and the characters reference FORCE stuff 2) Make it non-canon and make the new story a replacement for FORCE. Problem is: because they clearly can't decide, they use this "new timeline" and period beetween A's and StrikerS to make new stuff while FORCE can remain in limboIt's not so hard to see why this is happening
>>4512467Anon, they just want to use younger version of Nanoha and Fate for merch, it's all there is to it, I don't even put behind them thinking FORCE flopped because the characters were adults.
>just finished reading KimiTsuzuWhat do now?
>>4512469Start reading the other Kimi's, starting with KimiShinu.
>>4512467Don't act like people don't understand the reasoning behind people's decision to avoid Force or address that it was horrible and a failure. The real problem is that the decisions they made precisely to avoid Force are what have stalled the series and put it in the first place. Even this started off on the wrong foot when they decided to continue Nanoha in manga format and focus their attention on Dog Days. We all know how that ended too.>>4512468>>they just want to use younger version of Nanoha and Fate for merch, it's all there is to it,Basically this.
>>4512420>make stupid decision >get complaint>double down on stupid decision>get same mistake>repeat for like 15 years Its the same complaint because they've been double down on that same dumb decision for years. Its a series they keep drudging back up, so the same complaints are going to keep getting drudged back up too when the series becomes relevant
Damn, this was kinda DOGSHIT.Decent first two chapters, then the author got brain damage in the process of releasing the other parts of the doujini i assume
Looking back at what I enjoyed reading last year. There’s a lot of teacher student stuff. I need to find more
>>4512490You speak like the creators come here for feedback. But they don't. You're just repeating yourself for nothing. At some point you need to realize you have limited time in this world and to use that limited time better than repeating the same shit about a show you keep watching despite the fact you know it and and the writers have lost what you liked about itSurely you can use your time better and seek manga, LNs, VNs, videogames or whatever that satisfy you more. You say you have lost faith in the show and it keeps repeating mistakes and yet you keep repeating the mistake to keep wasting your time
>>4512475>Dog DaysThat story just makes me think the creators just prefer ship tease over confirming couples and any kind of explicit romance. You could mention Chrono being married to Amy on StrikerS, but their interactions in S1 and A's weren't anything special and only Chrono shows up in StrikerS and the whole Amy marriage thing is like an afterthought, completely off-screenMeanwhile the on-screen MC het in Dog Days progresses even less than Nanoha (and het doesn't have any kind of restrictions yuri has. You can't say they want to pander to waifufags or whatever to explain lack of het progression), and in Nanoha itself, Caro and Erio are also in ship tease territory when they could be confirmed if the creators truly had some kind of preference of het over yuri. Before anyone misunderstands: This is purely an analysis and observation. Not a defense. I obviously would prefer progress and confirmation and think these tendencies are a weakness and hackery. But they don't treat het any different or better than yuri
>>4512520>a lot of teacher student stuffAny examples to share with the class?
>>4512526The one by Iruma Hitoma
>>4512523Yeah, I think in many works the double standard for yuri couples and het couples comes from the audience interpretation more than the writers. Japanese writing is just like that sometimes. Years ago before I learned what yuri was I remember being annoyed that het anime never confirmed any relationships. It's still frustrating though because it's so hard to tell the difference between typical shipteasing, which shows up in all kinds of media, and homophobia.
