That's crazy. I'm not even exclusively into yuri and this movie is so much better than any originals in forever.

Yeah, it's funny to see even comments from japan ironizing "one time travels and endures 8000 years just to met again, and the other dedicates their life to creating a body for that person...as good friends". The desperation is palpable for people who don't like yuri.

This looks very very good but there's a reincarnation of the prince whom the Little Mermaid is seen still blushing over in the trailer, so I shall not yuri gamble on this one. It would be a nice surprise if it also turned out to be "what if classic fairy tale in present time but yuri?" like Kaguya, but let's not get greedy.

About upcoming original movies, does anyone have more info about this one?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5JN9lhoGes

This first trailer seemed cute and the premise is the typical girl meets girl.
However, the story is set in the 20th century and another trailer showed a boy that could end up being important (I really hope not).
Maybe I'm just being baited by the word Étoile
>>
>>4520904
Superfriendship is the best we can hope for that one
>>
>>4520904
If you go to the site's official site there are multiple images are of the guy and the girl interacting. Guaranteed the trailer conveniently decided not to show any of that. From the time period and art style you can figure out where it will go from there.
>>
>>4520904
>>4520907
https://sh-anime.shochiku.co.jp/parieto-movie/character/
Nevermind, it is worse than that. The site has a relationship chart on it and it explicitly calls the girls tomodachi while having the line to the guy stand out in bright red.
>>
>>4520908
>having the line to the guy stand out in bright red.
The line says "I want you to help Chizuru achieve her dream of becoming a dancer"
His line towards her says "it'd be fun to collaborate"
>>
>>4520919
I'd put money on this having an understated romance between the guy and the girl with no character development occurring there, while 90% of the untime is her helping her "friend" achieve her dreams with a ton of emotional interaction between them. The better movie to look forward is Whoever Steals This Book (Kono hon o nusumu mono wa) which is yuri friendly, but not explicit like chou kaguya hime.
>>
>>4520790
It's sadder than that; more than not wanting or liking yuri, it's that the little intelligence they have can't go beyond het (which is the most basic crap that could exist), so they can't even see the most obvious yuri.

The PVs make it look very promising, especially since it was called a girl-meets-girl anime and all of the marketing has focused on the two MCs - some kind of "screw destiny, who cares about princes, break out of the role you've been cast in and find your own happiness!" narrative, maybe. But the concept trailer has the prince much more prominently, and his modern reincarnation looks to be some kind of hot delinquent bad-boy rather than a smarmy Elan-like who'd fit that kind of story better, so I'm not holding out a huge amount of hope. Will check out reactions when it's out, but I'm almost-fully expecting it'll be more "Lara learns through superfriendship that love is always worth pursuing again, even if it ended tragically the first time!"

The thing about Kaguya was that it was always going to be at least somewhat yuri-friendly, the gamble was just on how far it'd go, CGDCT with some bait or actually taking it seriously. If Goodbye Lara isn't yuri, it's going to be 100% standard shoujo romance.

>>
>>4521211
Kaguya felt like the marketing was deliberately hiding the true nature of the story to suprise viewers. Unless I missed something, they never showed any of the big moments of skinship between Iroha and Kaguya. The Yachiyo twist was obviously not something they should even hint at. Mikado was never presented as Iroha's brother and his name means Emperor so it was easy to imagine he'd be Kaguya's love interest as in the fairy tale. That one at least feels like deliberate misdirection to me. Personally I thought the movie wouldn't go past some teasing between all three main girls though I didn't think they'd go the full romance route with Mikado either since trailers didn't show any interaction between them. The actual movie was a huge surprise, the depth of Iroha and Kaguya's relationship is overwhelming.

I can't bring myself to hope for Goodbye Lara to be like that though.

I just want to know why no one is talking about Roll Over And Die. Is it not Yuri? Is there surprised het?
>>
>>4521223
Because it's a kinda low budget adaptation of a manga that /u/ was already following that is an adaptation of an WN/LN that /u/ already discussed a bunch years ago. Unless a show is quite high quality there's not a ton of discussion to be had about an adaptation. Same reason that there wasn't a bunch of discussion about WataTabe or IFTV or HSL, Sasakoki, etc.

What do you want to talk about? The Origin thing? Flum and Milkit ending up married at the end (that the anime will never get anywhere near)? The blind origin loli that Eterna hooks up with that the anime won't get to? Sara and Neigass having BDSM sex that the anime won't get to?

Most people already talk about it on the /a/ thread, mostly the series thread in the day of airing, translation of volume 6 will be out in june, it's very yuri to the point the author description of the series is that it's the marriage journey of Flum and Milkit.

Kaguya simply admires Iroha as a beautiful living creature. When you see a beautiful bird, a swan for example, you admire its snow-white plumage, long neck, graceful flight, and so on. You want to enjoy this beauty for a long time. But that doesn't mean you want to fuck it.

I think the gaccha girl simping is probably just vague artifact of being the otaku archetype. And, it endears a protagonist to a male otaku audience. "She's literally me!" and so on.

I mean, cool if it is not like that, but that was my first impression/assumption, I don't think there's any real hint she swings that way.

Cosmic Princess Kaguya has zero plausible deniability though? Sure, the trailers hide its power level, but the actual movie doesn't care to coddle people who are uncomfortable with yuri. You will have Kaguya confess her feelings to Iroha and they will seethe like some moonfags trying to break up the ship only to get a 8000 year long powerplay into "Does it count if my first time is with an Android?", but actually good.

>zero plausible deniability
If g-witch has plausible deniability, so does kaguya. They never outright state their relationship or get intimate, which is where shit like "its up to interpretation" is able to weasel its way in. It needs hard confirmation that cant be misinterpreted, otherwise it is plausible deniability, thats literally what the term means.
>>
>>4522057
We're talking about movies, you fucking retard.
>>
>>4522060
G-witch doesn't have plausible deniability. The creators confirmed the marriage.
>that's what plausible deniabiltiy means
No, the term means that there must be a plausible alternate explanation that doesn't contradict the facts. There is no explanation that can counter the facts here.
Even if you were actually intentionally dishonest (so not plausible), you could at MOST push some schizo narrative about a one-sided crush. There are several romantic confessions in this movie and a marriage proposal that isn't rejected, but rather accepted.

There is exactly one way to make the yuri not real. By saying the characters are inexplicably lying about everything they say and feel. Is that plausible to you?

>>
>>4522076
Even if the characters looked into the camera and broke through the fourth wall to say they are dictionary definition lesbians and then pulled up a lesbian romance wiki page to read it to the viewers it would still never break through some of the thick skulls inhabiting /u/ who exist only to be contrarians. Learned to ignore their idiocy and it gives me more time to enjoy riding the wave of steady progress that yuri has made over the years.
>>
>>4522076
MagiRevo going this detailed on it was more because Anise was in denial about the possibility of having her feelings returned, but it's funny how it also reads like an active shutdown of "plausible deniability" retards. Then again, they do kiss and fuck after this, so I don't really think there would have been any ambiguity regardless.

>>4522079
You are leaving out the part where she tells Iroha that she loves her and immediately says she should marry her afterwards, which frames the confession of love as romantic by default.
And you are also ignoring the part just before this vocal confession in which Kaguya confirms in her mind that she fell in love with Iroha on first sight, which... uh... is not a thing for platonic love.
Try again?

Are you in the mood for nitpicking today? Well, then I'll keep this conversation going in the manner you've set.
So, Iroha never said she loved Kaguya. Nor did Iroha ever agree to "marry" Kaguya; she agreed to "continue being together".

Well they spent the entire new episode of Omae Gotoki on the underground lab thing so I guess the next episode will be Flum against those two guys, some SOL and then they will continue with the plot.

Guess we should add "plausible deniablity" to the list of buzzwords used by hetshitter concern trolls. Like "yuribait", or "male gaze (this one is for shows like MahoAko where there's no denial)"
They can be more than buzzwords if used properly, but most use of these terms is trolls using them to shitpost and bait
>>
>>4522084
Claiming there's "plausible deniability" in clearly gay characters is denying they're gay
The plausible deniability retard right now is actively denying they're explicitly gay. He also did it with two married women (his SuleMio example. When the problem with "up to interpretation" is that it's an statement made by a retard who hasn't watched the show and thinks it only goes as far as something like Lycoris Recoil or Toji no Miko. Yet this retard still thinks the show itself has "plausible deniability". No, it doesn't. And pretending it does means not knowing jackshit, which is incredibliy ridiculous for the company that made it. That's why the statement was so bad. Like calling a female character a dude)
>>
>>4522094
I am aware. But he just went back to teasing/ making the loser Mc feel important so it might as well have been 5 minutes compared to the rest of the 200 plus chapter story so far
>>
Plausible deniability has to be... plausible, when you dismiss confessions or marriage proposals you are not trying to argue they are not together anymore, you are trying to cope they are not fucking and this is a cope you can have for 99% of japanese media regardless of yuri.
>>
>>4522115
Noticing the (seemingly obvious) fact that the creators, let's say, made some effort to sit on two chairs simultanously isn’t the same thing as "actively denying”. Let's not blame them, after all it's commerce first and art second. We'd better be thankful that this time sitting on two chairs didn't turn out as awkward as it did back then with the married BFFs.
>>
>>4522129
Kill yourself, retard. Your post makes no sense
There's no enlightened "noticing". Just pure copium and denial
And again, the "up to interpretation" shit was some bussiness dude who knows nothing about the show, not any actual "creator"
>>
>>4522129
While I agree that many works that people label yuri here have creators trying to be creative juggling the line, I feel like the problem is also exacerbated by the fact that the bar for a yuri can be considered "explicit" and "romantic" is too high, and even JP yurifags themselves can't agree on what is yuri or not and what is yuri with romance and whatsnot. This discussion has only gotten worse with Kaguya.
Maybe fans of the genre can benefit from just ignoring the yuri tag and just use the GL tag for more explicit stuff and save everyone the headache.

In practice it's what already happens, if you take a look at any japanese store, you will see 98% of the titles in a yuri shelf are romance, they are not putting the whole kirara catalog there, only semi friends and a few others, most of the time not even bad girl, they are not making the point of this is yuri or not, rather it's just a natural market reaction to what the consumer who is searching for those products are buying or not, which are mostly romances, if too many products which are not romances start being popularized as yuri, the market will naturally making a distinction because otherwise people will start having problems finding what they want.

You'll never get an answer, that's why it will destroy the logic and narrative of these people, especially to deny yuri, but at the same time they accept as canon rather weak displays of affection or that are not so different, like that movie of the girl related to the rain, she is sacrificed for the common good, but the boy "saves" her and the life of an entire city goes to shit with permanent rain, that's a happy ending by the way and there are no kisses either.

The moral of the story is that if there's a minimum of affection and it involves men, it's romance; if it's only with women, then people are crazy.

Something funny about Weathering with you is that Shinkai said in an interview he doesn't see the relationship between the leads as romantic. You can tell he was already already getting tired of being pigeonholed into the role of director who makes the same kind of romance movie every time, then with Suzume he openly started mentioning he was forced to do it again because it's what sells and came up with the forceful chair transformation to intentionally downplay the romance as much as possible. Nobody will tell you those aren't romance movies despite the author's intention tnough. With yuri it's often the opposite, people in bad faith will attempt to downplay absolutely anything.

The literal exchange is
Kaguya: "I should marry Iroha then"
Iroha: "Huh?"
Kaguya: "Is that a no?"
Iroha: "That's not it. As long as you pay half the living expenses I don't mind staying with you"

Unless you are going to use the most blatant and retarded semantics possible, she is not rejecting her and she actively wants to stay with Kaguya, in the context of marriage. Of course they cant get married, because Japan's laws are retarded, but this is just a straightforward exchange.

I dont know why you dodged to his after I literally destroyed your entire case though. It's really random? I explained to you why Kaguya's romantic was in a romantic context and how she repeated her claim that she fell in love with Iroha even internally. No wiggle room.

True, but are the moon's? Kaguya, as princess, can easily give Iroha citizenship there if need be.
>>
>>4522297
Uh no... the entire movie is about never going back to the moon and literally being an escaped fugitive essentially.
Also Lunarians seem to be mostly emotionless programs who don't give a shit about relationships, so I doubt they have marriage. They literally invaded the second Kaguya made a marriage proposal that was accepted, so they are clearly the "ryaju explode!" types.

nta but i dont think Iroha really responded to the marriage part specifically. She waved it off while agreeing to continue living with Kaguya, which is pretty much what Kaguya was asking for anyways and was just being a bit hyperbolic in the heat of the moment since they just performed a concert. practically the same thing under a different name in their eyes though
>i think maybe i should just marry you
>whaaa
>no, then?
>i guess if you pay half the rent and bills, i dont mind us living together
>>4522391
you're replying to a bot
>>
>>4522291
Let's all think about why the writer decided that Iroha should respond in this particular way, what the point of it is in terms of storytelling. Why not just say, "I love you too and want to marry you"? Maybe to show that Iroha is a tsundere? Perhaps, but isn't the ultimate goal of a romantic story with a tsundere to show that she eventually opens up and becomes able to honestly say what she couldn't before? Meanwhile, in this case, that doesn't happen.
Perhaps the screenwriter just wanted to train the audience's so-called Media Literacy? Very likely, let's agree on that.
>>
>>4522403
>She waved it off while agreeing to continue living with Kaguya
Except there was no reason to reaffirm that they will keep living together. Their arrangement is already indefinite as long as the Lunarians dont come to pick her up.
It's Iroha's indirect tsundere way of accepting the proposal. And once again the love confession before is put into a romantic context on purpose, which I find far more important.
>>
>>4522403
>bot
Then why are the mods not banning it? Botting is against 4chan's rules.
>>
>>4522404
>Why does the tsundere not confess back 50% into the movie
Gee, I wonder? The fact that she does not reject her at all is already way more honest than any tsundere usually gets.
And what do you mean anyway? By the end of the movie she literally openly states that she wants to be with Kaguya and that her happy ending depends entirely on staying with her.

In the Light Novel she calls Kaguya her beloved and it's stated that their grandparents are angry at her because they won't get any granchildren.

I just don't understand these facetious pretend arguments. You know you are wrong, but you are just doing it out of boredom, aren't you?
>>
>>4522407
>In the Light Novel she calls Kaguya her beloved
That's nice, but it's exactly another case of what was mentioned above as 'sitting on two chairs'. The main story is crafted in such a way as not to offend any audience, while what isn't intended for all audiences is hidden in the side materials.
>>
>>4522418
Why are you lying though? Do you think the general audience that doesnt actually exist, who is magically offended by yuri, would be fine having Kaguya being openly in love with Iroha? You are making zero sense.
I will tell you something, this movie isn't for a general audience. This is a movie for otaku. A movie for vocaloid fans and Vtuber fans and idol fans. A movie for people who love Sakuga battle animations and a movie for people who love dance choreography. And it is a movie for yuri fans first and foremost. If you dislike any one of these things you can still enjoy the movie anyway. The director made the movie openly gay and didn't give a shit if you wouldn't like that. He already knew the vocaloidfags would watch it regardless. He knew the animation fetishists would eat it up. This movie was going to succeed regardless of whether it had yuri or not, but he chose to make it undeniably yuri. There is zero ambiguity in it.

The side-materials enhance and add, they are not required to see the fucking obvious. You are absolutely shitposting, because if you watched the movie you would already know you had no case at all. It's a yuri romance movie.

Canon onscreen yuri with a kiss? Absolutely. /u/ subsisted off of subtext and headcanons for the longest time. Horizon threads lasted for a while.
>>
Hell, some subtext series today can't even meet that still.
>>
>>4522834
I figured. It's not like I dislike the pairing either, but it's still pretty rough to sit through an entire het romance arc to get to it.

>>4522837
Subtext isn't yuri, so why are you expecting a kiss?

kids these days don't know what a yuri wasteland it was like back in the day, we took what we could get
>>
>>4522840
I do get it. Which is why I can't stand idiots who complain about a lack of yuri in current year. We are living in the yuri rennaissance. Yeah we still get garbage like MahoAko getting an anime instead of actual good yuri works, but we also get a high budget WataNare adaptation or a Cosmic Princess Kaguya out of nowhere. Love You Till Your Dying Day will also come out this year. It's great.

You sure love asking the bad questions.
In summary, it's neither. But it does have lots of yuri subtext. And I guess some fanservice kisses between girls, but they arent seriously romantic. The actual main pairings haven't kissed yet.

Yes, there are many characters, but as far as I understand, there aren't really that many Het couples as such (many characters without any relationship), the number may even be equal to or even less than the Het couples in Mai-hime, besides they are not the only yuri couple either.

Furthermore, the yuri couple is more relevant than many want to pretend; even their daughters (from the future) are antagonists at a certain point (along with the other children from the future). If the couple weren't important, then they wouldn't even do that with them.
>>
>>4523072
Almost all of season 2 was about a het couple and the yuri couple was an afterthought... You mention their children from the future, but also immediately admit they are just a part of a whole group of all children from the future.
Clearly they are not that important.
>>
>>4522837
Because there is a huge difference between a secondary couple and subtext as such, but when you refer to a series as subtext (yuri) this is a relevant element for the series itself (that's why Yurucamp after S1 is so disappointing) and then you have the cases where the series in question is not even subtext, but the yuri itself is a shared element.

>>4522839
>>Subtext isn't yuri
Apply your logic to the Het or Yaoi subtext, and you'll be seen by them as an idiot who doesn't value an obvious and clearly canon pairing, even though that's not the case.
>>
>>4523079
>het subtext
Barely exists. Hetshitters nigh universally get explicit romance, always.
>BL subtext
Why should I give a shit? But in truth fujos are in the same boat. They hate how often pairings are non-comittal. Except their brains are even more fried than yurifags, so they are somehow fine as long as they can ship. We should have a higher standard and actually want explicit yuri.
>>
>>4523075
If they weren't important, they would be sidelined and their existence as a couple would simply be anecdotal, because you ignore that there are less important characters like the fat guy, the Hindu, the slime, the incubus, the dragon, the bitter guy, the incubus and a handful of other people who are not as important or relevant as one might expect. Margot and Malga are ridiculously prominent, a secondary couple but super important to their group (as I said, they are not the only yuri couple either). Even on their cover they appear together and not alone like the rest of the girls.

This is a cast of 40+ characters, so yes, there are even more unimportant side-characters. But that series literally does a "this arc focuses on these character, then we focus on the next characters" chain of story beats. After their moment in the spotlight, characters get completely sidelined. And the yuri couple barely does anything after. Only like the core 6 characters get to be relevant in every arc.

So yes, they arent that important.
>>
>>4523081
>>Barely exists. Hetshitters nigh universally get explicit romance, always.
So, series like Hyokka or Another don't exist? People want to pretend they're romance series, but it's just subtext for the main characters. It's even more hilarious when you clearly ignore major franchises like Pokémon (the only real romance is in XY&Z), Digimon (you only have the terrible epilogue), or Yu-Gi-Oh! (only Zexal with a canon main couple). All of these have one thing in common: a furious and territorial fanbase of hetfags who see their pairings as absolute and universal canon.

>>Why should I give a shit?
It's not so much about standards, but I don't see those people complaining about the obvious complacency, even when it comes to praising super mediocre series like YoI, Samunenco, that silly Mecha series about talking robots that people forgot existed in less than a week, (yes, even Banana Fish) it even applies to something like Tigger and Bunny or various Shonen series where the supposed couples suck at best.
>>
>>4523093
>>Only like the core 6 characters get to be relevant in every arc.

Although in what S2 covers, the MC isn't really that relevant beyond brief moments and people supporting a date, the plot focuses on about 4 other groups of characters and the MC is almost a guest in his own series.
>>
>>4523095
You are bullshitting though, because hetfags get into ship wars all the time. So by default they are not universally treated as canon, because the only series that dont have canon het romance tend to give them multi-pairings to project on.
>fujos dont complain
You havent heard about all the death threats, huh? Fujos are famous for those.
>>
>>4523099
>>So by default they are not universally treated as canon
I was an active participant in the Pokémon shipping war during the AG/DP era. It's not about options or possibilities for pairings; it's about your favorite pairing being the only existing possibility, and all hints about that pairing being universal and absolute. If anyone says otherwise, it's because they're an idiot contradicting a universal rule and an idea that everyone should share. No other hint or possibility besides your chosen pairing has any value or importance, even if it's all the same crap in the end. That's why even today you have idiots pretending that Liko and Roy are a real thing, when literally Liko's only romantic possibility is Dot or even Liko's female Pokémon.

>>You havent heard about all the death threats
Everyone does that, but that part of the fandom doesn't represent the rest of the idiots throwing money at the fire of complacent garbage. I just hope those people don't pretend that the stupid project of Disney villains turned into attractive guys alongside other attractive guys is seen as something good or anime of the year.
>>
>>4523107
>het shipper
Disgusting. Consider yourself dismissed.
>>
Changing the subject to something sillier.

With the anime Shibou Yuugi de Meshi wo Kuu, I saw yuri things in the first game and thought that with the format of the series, the only yuri possibility for the MC would be with a rival in some game or something like that... which ended up happening in the second game, even "Koi" is used and everything, although it could be seen as a whim of the MC, saving the life of a girl she considers beautiful, even though she clearly hates you because you want to be on top of her when she wants to be on top of you (literally) in addition to fighting hand to hand with a wolf that is afraid of the light.

Is this world so bizarre that even yuri can't be normal?

>>
>>4523125
The difference is that het is objectively bad. I don't understand the defeatist attitude of so many people here in every damn way. They act as if yuri could never be good, or as if all yuri anime were cheap or stupid. yuri has been superior to het since almost 2004 onward, titles that have maintained a certain relevance throughout all these years, in contrast to titles (het) that aren't as relevant as some think, or that het isn't even as important an element as some claim. Nothing the hetfags say is valid; they'll always pretend to be right even when reality says the complete opposite. yuri isn't an underdog that exists out of pity; it's something that has been kicking its competition where it really matters for years. What we see now isn't something new, but rather the recognition it has always deserved.
>>
>>4523118
>>How did nobody ban him yet anyway?
Because I'm not a triggerfag who pretends that het series are yuri, just to post pictures of his waifus and attack those who think otherwise, nor am I a GBfag who gets angry that nobody likes clearly het garbage and uses biology as an excuse to promote het series.
Because many of you are quite tolerant of those people, by the way.
>>
>>4523133
Ok... the actual yuri stuff like manga and novels and games that were out in the past were good, sure, but there werent a lot of them compared to hetshit. So yes, yuri was always the underdog and there has almost never been much good yuri in the anime space until maybe the mid 2010s. The occasional Strawberry Panic is an exception.
>>
>>4523135
I'm not tolerant of those retards nor of you hetshitter. Accepting that het isnt yuri doesn't make you watching and talking about her in any way acceptable. Leave.

>>you hetshitter
Have you never seen a hetfag in your life? I wish I could say that, but there are several here who are just that and come only to rant against yuri while praising any crap that has sakuga and happens to have het.
>>
There's a problem that many here don't seem to understand: not all series that aren't yuri, or that only have yuri in one season, are het or yaoi. Many are shows with or without some kind of prominent romance. There are also family relationships, or simply no real romance at all (subtext at best, if there is any). Furthermore, not all fantasy series are isekai, and not all isekai are het harems. With that in mind, het isn't as prevalent as hetfags would have you believe.
>>
>>4523133
Sis is spitting facts
>>
>>4523151
You are actively watching more hetshit than yuri every season. You have no room to talk. Kill yourself.
Also no, I don't watch hetshit. Period.
>>
>>4523148
Shizuma and Nagisa would be in their 30s by now
>>
>>4523152
Het couples and hetshit are permeating nearly all fiction. A show doesnt need to be about romance and somehow a het couple still sneaks in to ruin it. If a male and a female main character are in the same movie, there are very big chances they will kiss at some point.
It's far less likely that you can fully scrape off all het from a work than you pretend. Het is universally present and universally assumed in most fiction.

This is why yuri and BL are perceived as outside forces that are "intrusive", They are not expected, they are not common. Nobody blinks an eye if some het romance subplot appears in anything mainstream, but beware of that random token lesbian or gay guy.

Stop pretending to be stupid. Yuri is niche and het is not. You have to curate your media consumption and limit yourself heavily to avoid het. That's just a fact.

I guess if the criteria for yuri is that people don't try to argue it isn't yuri, Lycoris has recieved a big unintended upgrade with the NIKKE collab
You'd think it being a subtext plausible deniability show, yuri haters would try to play the "not yuri" card. But nope, the reaction to the collab is negative because these rabid assholes who hate yuri see LycoReco as yuri. And hate their game pandering to yuri and collabing with a yuri show. None of them try to deny Lyco yuri. Even they see the intentions of Lyco
This means the Majimatard is worse than gacha yuri haters. Since he tries to deny yuri that even those scum don't deny. Interesting stuff. Wasn't expecting to see so many yuri haters admit they see Lyco as yuri
Given the Magia Record collab, it seems that with the sequel taking so long, Aniplex have just decided to whore Lyco to gacha collabs. And of course, the Nikke devs would take a popular IP to collab with if allowed. They have done it before with Re Zero, CSM, Eva

I liked all of them except run away since that author just isn't for me. Introspective implied romances are nice sometimes too.

>>4523990
MC's ex-crush having a daughter who falls in love with the MC is an established subgenre of yuri age gaps at this point. Why wouldn't it count? Did you ignore the romantic tension that caused issues at the climax of the story followed up by them agreeing to live together when she becomes an adult? Surely they only show her impatiently waiting for adulthood because they want to live together as just friendly roommates, surely.

2.5D Seduction author/editor chickened out just as it was starting to develop the relationship between the fan favorite childhood friend character with the blonde lesbian. Last 20-30 chapters or so got rushed the fuck out and betrayed multiple plot points to make way for the most generic cliche hetshit romance ending.

Perhaps it was the right decision (financially) as the barely existing yuri fanbase of this series didn't complain about this nonsensical plot progression anyway. Couldn't say the same about hetfags. Their monkey brains couldn't even stand their favorite girl being mutually in love with a girl for a few pages, somehow.

Holy shit, you're at it with this shit? I remember you shilling the shit out of this slop when there's an anime airing.
>>
>>4524075
Imagine being more of a hetshitter than gacha scum
You lost the argument, retards. Lyco is yuri and even the worst scum who'd love otherwise see it, so why can't you?

Both of those things can't be true at the same time.

>>4524078
Many collaborations are based on literally nothing: licenses they can obtain or IPs they can access. The copyright world is a bitch. Furthermore, most of the higher-ups haven't got a clue what they're doing. To them, there's no difference between a friendly yuri series (at its worst) and a pathetic rom-com harem. They have cute girls, they just leave out the men, and problem solved.
>>
>>4524078
>even the worst scum who'd love otherwise see it
They got sold a false narrative, and so were you. That scum would love that series if they actually watched it.
>>
Neither your retarded collabs make something yuri or not yuri unless the girls literally are flirting with girls or boys in the collab or your retarded internet fighting make something yuri or not yuri regardless of what sides thinks.

Now, I have to say, it's amazing to see people still trying to push LR when you got WFM or Kaguya which are miles of difference from it and even so both of those series are just scraps with nothing worth talking about.
>>
>>4524083
>WFM or Kaguya which are miles of difference from it
And not het, which is always a plus
>>
>>4524083
yuri is and never will be mutually exclusive with each other; that one thing is yuri or more yuri than another, does not take away the fact that something is yuri under its own terms and will continue to be yuri, no matter how hard a handful of hetfags want to believe otherwise, especially when there really is no het in the first place.
>>
>>4524080
Again, other yuri franchises have done so. It's irrelevant
>>4524081
Exactly. Which is why the retard would need to deny stuff like Symphogear, BRS and Madoka itself. They have also shown up in het gacha
>>4524082
You're the one selling a false narrative no one is buying. My narrative is based on watching the show. Some of those retards did admit to watching the show and dropping because it was too yuri for them, LMAO. You're objectively worse than them. Consider sucide
>>
>>4524085
Now tell me about Blue Reflection.
>>
>>4524083
Normal people can like several things. I like Kaguya and WFM, but also LycoReco. Kaguya and WFM just aren't enough though. I need more shows and movies with action and fights. Stuff that isn't your typical HS romance and actually has a budget. The narrator and low quality kill Omae Gotoki anime. It's going to be a while before stuff like Lycoris is made completely obsolete. I wish the day would come where there's enough maintext yuri anime that it happens, but this world sucks too much for such a good reality to ever come true
>>
>>4524087
The gacha died and only lives on as a memory of what not to ever do. If that's your standard, no yuri is real because all of it risks suddenly going het harem when the creator goes insane. The risk is never 0. Maybe 0.0000000001% but not complete 0%
>>
>>4524085
I am not interested in your schizophrenia about hetfags, years ago I said in this board exactly what would happen, people would just forget LR existed a year after it aired and to make it even more blatant, pretty much every yuri teasing show that aired since then had actual gay content even if ultimately they didn't commit to portraying the characters as a couple. No one gives a shit about your Chisato and Takina ship anymore because they all can see how little is there.
>>
>>4524079
And WFM is in the typical crossover Gundam games (the latest being a gacha) which are mostly het because WfM is the only yuri Gundam, and SRW Y and future SRWs which can be het depending which MC you pick, but most importantly are full of het franchises otherwise because yuri doesn't have many titles that qualify to make a full SRW and given the animations, licenses, voice acting, the games not being cheap to make means that even if they could have enough titles to make SRW /u/, they wouldn't. They need the sales from fans of the het shows
>>
>>4524088
>It's going to be a while before stuff like Lycoris is made completely obsolete
Action series are a dime a dozen.

I thought this was a shoe collab with nike. Didn't know what it was and don't care but I'm disappointed that I don't get to see what they'd come up with for shoe merch.
>>
>>4524088
>Omae Gotoki anime
It was never alive because it's a guro+yuri show, there's no precedent about a show like that so it isn't surprising that it didn't get TenTen's budget, also Milkit's lack of communication skills, the reason for the narrator to be a thing, and the problem that the best part of the story begins with volume 2 didn't help.
>>
>>4524094
Not enough of them are more yuri than Lyco. The ones that are are shit adaptations like Omae Gotoki where the shit quality fails to satisfy. I put up with it only because I'm hungry for anything remotely yuri or yuri teasing. But this story deserved much better adaptation..
>>
>>4524099
They all are as yuri as Lycoreco. What are you even talking about?
>>
>>4524097
I am honestly not sure what you are talking about, the series is doing well on streaming and people on /a/ are enjoying it because most fantasy series airing every season have similar budgets, I am honestly confused why this board became so obsessed with budget when most of the anime community doesn't give a shit, maybe because they are not treating anime like a competition and are just enjoying seeing shit adapted, unless it has actual production issues like OPM3.
>>
>>4524100
Ah. So you're retarded.
>>
>>4524102
Action yuri anime always had better standards. Maybe we got QUALITY shit like Marchen Madchen but we also have Shokei Shoujo, TenTen and even Hikikomari was decent until the Nelia arc.
>>
>>4524102
Nah. It's legit subpar. Most fantasy shows are
And of ccourse, animation fans want their stuff to look nice
Do you think Kaguya would be as popular as it is if it looked like Omae Gotoki?. It's the super rare combination of a great production with actual maintext yuri that made it so big. Meanwhile, the maintext adaptations with shit production like Omae Gotoki are forgotten quicker than Lyco ever was after their single season (where nothing much happens because of the slow burn curse. Great for source, shit for the single cour adaptation), and only remembered for being maintext adaptations. But not any merit of the anime itself. No much reason to watch anime instead of checking out source, which means they fail hard as anime
>>
>>4524073
Artists don't think in the form of "audiences" the way you think they do.
>>
>>4524103
No, those dime a dozen action shows are all really as yuri as Lycoreco. You get as much yuri watching, say, Attack on Titan or Demon Slayer as you get watching Lycoreco
>>
>>4524104
>Hikkikomari
That one was a disaster. The typical "starts well but quickly enough quality falls off a cliff". Once the dreaded moment comes, it's inconsistent as hell, with some nice sequences sandwiched beetween legit awful stuff
>Shokei Shoujo, TenTen.
I hate how easy it is for hetshit to get several seasons and these are abandoned after a single cour. Gimme more seasons of both.
>>
>>4524107
Yep. Completely braindead and in denial of reality
>>
>>4524104
Because they had a LOT of talking and not so much action, the only one that had more action like you said, started falling apart midway, they were all low budget shows.

>>4524105
Again the series is doing well on streaming because the audience for shows like this isn't worried if the budget is lacking, they are aware some shows have better budgets than others and are not crying for every show to be a super production, if you are only going to watch those, you can count on your hand how many shows you will watch every year, if even that.
>>
>>4524109
worse than that, a hetfag.
>>
>>4524124
I know not everything can be a super production
Thus, why I keep watching. But it's this limitation that means Lycoris isn't obsolete. Because while it's not as yuri as it should be, it's still a show about fighting girls with great production and enough yuri tease. As long as the norm for gayer shows is incomplete mediocre stuff like Omae Gotoki, shows like Lyco still have a place. I wish it wasn't the case, but it is. As it stands, being picky with how gay a show is is like being picky about it's animation
If you're ever gonna watch the super gay shows. then you only ever have a few adaptations per year. The same arguments that justify watching stuff with subpar animation (not enough actual decent productions) justify watching stuff with subpar subtext yuri (not enough good maintext yuri shows)
>>
>>4524127
Shows like LR don't "still have a place", they exist, you cannot make so they don't exist, people are going to watch those shows regardless of the circumstances, people will watch Frieren and even ship the girls for a season because it's a popular show, but it won't survive beyond that outside of it's intended audiences. LR just had specials and a new novel and no one cares, most of the shipping the series has long moved on, because again, we had much better subtext (and even that is arguable) shows in this regards that gave people much more to work from, you are trying to find an unnecessary justification like "action series" to say the series isn't obsolete, but like I said above, any non yuri series can fill the same role and will always fill the same role because no one is thinking in those lines, they are just watching the shows.
>>
>>4524131
>we had much better subtext (and even that is arguable) shows in this regards
And we also had much better actual yuri shows, subtext and otherwise
>>
>>4524131
>no one cares
Despite the other anon coping, no one cares about the maintext adaptations with shit productions either. This isn't an argument you want to make. People move on from those even faster and only care about the sources, but not the anime itself. So you don't want to use this argument. It's bad and all yuri suffers this until the industry starts pumping yuri with good productions which will never happen
> we had much better subtext (and even that is arguable) shows in this regards that gave people much more to work from
Like what? I don't remember them. By your own argument of "forggotten"= bad, those shows are worse than Lyco
> any non yuri series can fill the same role and will always fill the same role because no one is thinking in those lines, they are just watching the shows.
What is this nonsense?. No seriously, I don't get what you actually mean. But either way, no. Those non-yuri series can't fill the same role Lyco does. Not for me. No matter how much you insist
>>
>>4524136
Nope. The actual gay shows are shitty unjustified adaptations that you miss nothing if you read the source. So they're pretty pointless as anime and actually forgotten in place of their respective manga and LNs once they're done airing.
>>
Was all this circlejerk seriously spawned by a LR game collab?
The series has always pandered to both het and yuri, chill out, they'll do something you like next.
>>
>>4524143
Lyco pandering to het is a false narrative
The Sayaka shit in Madoka is far more het than Lyco is. And no one says Madoka "panders to het".
>>
>>4524137
>until the industry starts pumping yuri with good productions which will never happen
Give it 5 years. Financialy conservative companies wait 5 years after things like Cosmic Princess Kaguya or Watanare make a lot of money, with some luck we will get a good maintext action yuri by 2031.
>>
>>4524146
MahoAko s2 should have way more production now that it proved itself to be popular.
>>
>>4524137

You are the one making this distinction, whether people are talking about the anime or the source, it's all the same thing as long it's yuri, this is the point you seem to be missing.

>Like what? I don't remember them. By your own argument of "forggotten"= bad, those shows are worse than Lyco
For example Gundam and Ave Mujica.

>What is this nonsense?. No seriously, I don't get what you actually mean. But either way, no. Those non-yuri series can't fill the same role Lyco does. Not for me. No matter how much you insist
They do, we have seen with Frieren or that food anime or that one called tankopi or something similar, they all hit the same audiences that LR did and all had a similar reaction.
>>
>>4524145
But it factually does, Madoka literally has het spinoffs with all the girls married.
>>
>>4524147
Anon, a franchise ten times bigger than Mahoako just had a Sasakoi tier of production disaster.
>>
>>4524148
If people are talking about the source,, then they aren't talking about the anime. And I'm talking about why I as an anime watcher, care about Lyco still
>Gundam and Ave Mujica
Only Gundam is action. MyGo/Ave Mujica is music melodrama and not much to my taste. Nice, but won't fill the same needs Lyco does
I need more than a single show to stop giving a fuck about Lyco
>They do, we have seen with Frieren or that food anime or that one called tankopi or something similar, they all hit the same audiences that LR did and all had a similar reaction.
This is just your delusions to justify your hate. Regardless, to me they don't .So too bad for you
The shows aren't the same as Lyco and won't be.
>>
>>4524153
You are the one making those distinctions, those series don't exist in a bubble.
>This is just your delusions to justify your hate.
Is that so? Did I imagine all the yuri fanart? I don't think I did.
>>
>>4524149
All the girls?
>>
>>4524155
I don't even know what you're trying to say anymore
And yuri fanart is a shitty argument when talking about the content of shows. Can I post het haremshit because it has yuri fanart? Is that what you're trying to say? That anything with yuri fanart is yuri?
>>
>>4524157
>That anything with yuri fanart is yuri?
If the yuri fanart drowns everything else, then yeah.
>>
>>4524156
Yes.
>>
>>4524156
With the exception of Mami who wants to be married.
>>
>>4524158
Good way to expose yourself as a retard
>>
>>4524156
Basically, yes.
>>
>>4524157
No anon, my point is very clear, you keep saying LR wasn't forgotten and those shows couldn't replace it's role, but they did, the same audience even most of the same yuri fanartists treated those shows no different they did LR.

As far content is concerned, does LR have confessions? Does one of the girls starts walking on her fours while screaming how much she loves another woman? Does the girls want to get married to each other? Do they get married to each other? Do they Kiss even if it's on the cheek? Do they get jealous they are interacting with other people? Why don't your tell me if LR is closer to Gundam or Kaguya or to Frieren and the other two?
>>
>>4524163
Whatever you say, retard. You clearly have no idea what I'm talking about
And still, the same applies to your precious maintext. Most fanartists don't treat the maintexts any different. They get easily forgotten and replaced by your logic
Anime watchers in general quickly replace old seasonals with whatever is airing in present. Actual solid fanbases that remain after no new content are small and rare. Madoka is getting a new sequel and almost no one cares. Few cared about MahoAko while it was on hiatus.
Lyco is factually closer to Kaguya, Ave Mujica or Gundam than Frieren or whatever other shows you want to claim "replaced it". Not like it matters because 3 shows that are better in like 4 years is not that many, and like I said, they aren't the same. Distinction may not matter to you, but it matters to me
>>
>>4524149
But we're talking about the main series; spin-offs can appeal to anything. The opposite also happens; look at the FGO spin-offs that claim Gudako is important, when the "main" material keeps insisting that the soft-sided board man is a "good character."

It's hilarious to bring up Ave Mujica anyways and not pretend the fanbase turned on it harder than they ever did against Lyco. Seriously, the hate is unreal, Lots of people who think it's horrendous writing and unrealistic and schizo and ruins MyGo
What the chinese did against Lyco after it ended pales in comparison to what they did to AveMuji while it was airing. You can personally like it, but if we're talking about being forgotten and how it is treated by audiences as a wholre, the melodrama and schizo shit and writing ruin whatever yuri you want to bring up. Very bad show to bring up now that I remember the shitshow
>>
>>4524171
What happened there?
>>
>>4524174
Just incredibly low ratings and people who think the writing is incredibly bad and too ridiculous compared to MyGo. Stuff like Mutsumi's multiple personality shit in particular was recieved quite badly. There's even rumours that the director inserted shit against the writer's wishes or that something bad happened behind scenes and this is why she didn't seem to care or react much to Ave Mujica and why she apparently left the franchise with Ave Mujica as her last project. As a result: The chinese hate the Ave Mujica director as much as they do certain Lyco staff members if not even more
LycoReco is seen as just dissapointing and unsatisfying at worst. AveMuji is seen as a trainwreck trashfire.
>>
>>4524165
Maintext does not need fanart anon. You are free to explain what makes LR closer to those series than the others, I already made my point of everything they have that LR does not.

I'm just saying what people were saying.

Maybe she just lost her touch or MyGO was a rare miracle

No one said this, it's not irrelevant as we have a whole industry centered at maintext yuri titles, this is your reaction to it, people buying the works, because they already gives their audience what they want. Meanwhile the moment the shipping community moves on, you don't have anyone supporting the interpreted yuri aspect of those subtext shows anymore and the LR ones moved on very fast.
>>
>>4524185
I can't take the Chinese audience seriously. I'm not saying the series doesn't have problems, but many of those complaints are simply mental retardation. I still remember when they cried during the mini-concert with the original band members. Those people were shouting NTR and getting offended by it.

How the fuck those anons got stuck in a time loop? After the HatsuSaki, and NyaMutsu reveal everyone forgot anything they said about Ave Mujica and you're the only autists that remember that shit.

>>Meanwhile the moment the shipping community moves on, you don't have anyone supporting the interpreted yuri aspect of those subtext shows anymore and the LR ones moved on very fast.

I don't know what world you live in, but these people might be the most dedicated and loyal fans of a series that could exist. That's why you can have doujinshi or even the smallest art from series that are 10 or 20 years old, and I'm talking about subtext (which isn't open to interpretation, by the way). But more than the stupidity that the hetfags try to promote, the dedicated fandom doesn't see the difference between text and subtext; they just see pairings, and that's what keeps them alive the longest (we're not talking about Waifus of the Month).
>>
All I remember from Ave Mujica is that I warned you about those stairs bro
>>
>>4524208
All subtext is open to interpretation, it's literally what subtext means.
>>
>>4524210
That's not what subtext means. Subtext is literally reading between the lines, something the author/director puts in their work and it's the reader/viewer's job to be able to see. Stop confusing terms to support your narrative. Free interpretation of something is its own thing.

You are not the author or the director, you don't know their intentions and shouldn't pretend you do, you are just making an interpretation of the text and assuming either by common sense or by intuition what it's supposed to mean and I am pretty sure by how defensive you have been acting the whole time that you are very aware your interpretation of the work in question is controversial and no amount of you calling other people dumb or "hetfags" have made any difference in the last years. And I also strong suspect if the author or director themselves said your interpretation is wrong you would say it doesn't matter like many in this board have done so in the past.

>>
>>4524220
Nothing you say makes any sense, you just make very strong assumptions and ignore many things.
In general, subtext isn't really difficult to see; you just need to be observant. This applies to many other aspects of a work, not just yuri, such as a family being destroyed by possible infidelity (Pokemon AG) or an antagonist in a children's series who has killed people and done horrible things (Kira Kira Precure). It's not explicitly stated, but it's made clear; there's no room for interpretation, only intentions.

>>And I also strong suspect if the author or director themselves said your interpretation is wrong you would say it doesn't matter like many in this board have done so in the past.
As I said, things that are open to interpretation are something completely different from subtext and work differently. Ironically, the only ones I've seen deny an author's words are those who force their waifu/het series as yuri (Gridaman or Eupho), but out of personal pride and not because they actually care about yuri.

>>dumb or "hetfags"
That's redundant.
>>
>>4524226
Mortis elevated Mutsumi from an otherwise forgettable character to one of the best characters, because she is fun. I prefer this to the nonsense that Kara no Kyoukai made and that many praise, especially when the personalities that remained are as entertaining as watching paint dry.
>>
>>4524227
Like I said, you can pretend you know what is on the head of the author if you want, but you don't, most of us just accept it's probably the closest to what he intended.
