How did yuri win already this early in the year?That's crazy. I'm not even exclusively into yuri and this movie is so much better than any originals in forever.
Enormous, unimaginable cultural impact, tectonic shift
>>4520732Yuri is a timeless magic that makes everything better. Once everyone understands this fundamental truth of the universe the happier everyone will be.
>>4520732Even better that the guy famous for animating cuts and OPs for the biggest shounenslop chose this as his directorial debut once he got money and a team.
>>4520732>>4520733>>4520745QRD?
>>4520751Go watch Cosmic Princess Kaguya, exclusively on your legally sourced Netflix subscription. Brush up on the Tale of the bamboo cutter beforehand if you need to.
>>4520732i shouldve watched it on netflix, the fakeout ending wouldve been more effective
>>4520772The New Pride Symbol.
>>4520753>watching Netflix >not torrentingAbsolutely disgusting.
>>4520776You will miss out a great fake out
>>4520732And it's also making all the antiyuri schizos have a melty in every single thread.
>>4520761it wouldve been more likely to get me if i didnt get up to take a piss a few minutes prior, seeing i still had an entire quarter left in the runtime
>>4520786Yeah, 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.
>>4520786saw a comment earlier saying something along the lines of "all anime originals are just going to be yuribait now to hop on the lycoris recoil trend..."
>>4520776I want to support the movie but they’d probably thought I subscribed for Stranger Things or something which I fucking hate. Maybe I’ll torrent for now then buy the Digital Copy.
>>4520761>>4520778Wait, is it different on Netflix than elsewhere?
>>4520798just buy the merch>>4520799no. theres a fakeout ending which imitates the thing netflix does when a show rolls their credits
saw this on xitter. makes a bit more sense in context now

Middle aged lesbian weeb
>characters called Yachiyo and IrohaI've seen this one!
>>4520815This you?
>>4520817That's Eroha, common mistake to make.
>>4520838This 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.
>>4520819I'm 33. so not middle aged(yet)And zoomers are entering christmas cake age, time flies.
About upcoming original movies, does anyone have more info about this one?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5JN9lhoGesThis 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
>>4520904Superfriendship is the best we can hope for that one
>>4520904If 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>>4520907https://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"
>>4520919I'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.
>>4520790It'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.
>teren wrote a new storyive enjoyed every single one of his works, surely this one will not disappoint.
>>4520931Really, you enjoyed the mystery one? Would you testify about it with a gun in your head and a working lie detector?
Just finished Sherbet over A Sea of Fog. Did not care for the ending! Liked the message, good art, underutilized setting for yuri. But it absolutely flopped that landing
>>4520695Is Shuukura slow burn like AdaShima or does something between the girls happen? I love AdaShima but mosto ftheir intimate moments were implied off screen
>>4520948>Just finished Sherbet over A Sea of Fog. Did not care for the ending! Liked the message, good art, underutilized setting for yuri. But it absolutely flopped that landingSeeing the ending did Sherbet not know that her future fiancee was a woman?
>>4520952Well that was a dream she had that the ship made. She never actually met the real Gilbert

>>4520948Also decided to blast through Seasons in Bloom, because it was super short, and that was borderline offensive. It wouldn't surprise me if the person who wrote it hates women with how vicious every single woman in the story was
>>4520934Wasn’t this co-written and also just a board game?
>>4520958>no new chapter in weeksIs the author dead?
>>4520950Pretty sure they've had sex now, or eaten each other out
>>4521061She makes four different eight-page booklets as store preorder bonuses plus regular volume extras and other promo art every time a new volume is about to release. There's always been a hiatus while she does that.
Reminder that Sara gets repeatedly fingered by Neigass.
Finished Iruma’s books on the married teacher, thought it was pretty good.Would I like AdaShima if I didn’t like the anime and think the manga is just okay? I hear Shimamura’s POV is good.
>>4521106The novel are very different experience.
>>4521106its hard to say if you would like it without knowing what you disliked about the anime/manga.I love the LN, both mangas, and the anime; but if you just don't care for the slow introspective style of it, its not going to a whole lot to change that, especially so with Shimamura
>>4520751The Director of Kaguya worked on Narutard Shippuden as an animator.He is most famous for whatever he was doing with PAIN. I am also booking a trip to Japan later this year to raid his house for his InoSaku fanfics.
>>4520819There's a hag Yuri anime?
>>4521174Not anime, it's Pluribus, a western show.
>>4521197
>>4521200
>>4521201
>>4521202
is nipple hair yuri?(not to be confused with furry yuri)human girls with hairy chest or hair on areolas
>/u/ rather talk about some shitty western show over Roll Over And Die which is an actual Yuri anime aironf this season2026 is going to be a rough year for /u/.
Thank Goddess for the West: the paragons of yuri.
>>4520838The 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.
>>4521209>>4521211The fuck are you doing, nigga?
>>4521213>one of the posts has additional text that was clearly accidentally deleted the first timeI think you might be stupid, nigga.
>>4520846we also had that alice in wonderland yuri
>>4521211Kaguya 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.
>>4521214>couldn't make a separate post as an addition>calls others stupiddamage control
>>4521208
>>4521219This show isn't Yuri.
>>4521220
I just want to know why no one is talking about Roll Over And Die. Is it not Yuri? Is there surprised het?
>>4521223Because 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?
>>4521224Wait there's a manga? Can you link to it? I'll go away after that...
>>4521225>Wait there's a manga?Calling it "Roll Over and Die" should have been a red flag, that's my fault.
>>4521229Can you just call me a newfag or something then just help me?
>Pluribus>not yuriWhat the fuck did IT mean by this?
>>4521224NTA. It's a shame that we will never see how sweet it's the relationship between Flum and Milkit by the end of the story, even plotwise we will barely see the best parts of the story.

I heard the ending of akuma no riddle anime has a different ending. Should i read the manga first or watch the anime?
>>4521234Most 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. >>4521251The ending is the same but the manga just expands on it and is more of a happy ending, the artist also made several doujin over the time of the couples

>>4521260Kaguya 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.
>>4521263In Greek myth, the swan fucks you.

>>4521269Zeus pls
>>4521263Kaguya wants Iroha to gargle with her pussy fluids.
>>4521217Since the trailer for Goodbye Lara already has the red haired girl lean over a blond guy and say aishiteru, it is significantly less likely to be good /u/.
>>4521263I, too, seek the warmth of a swan to hold every night and get jealous when someone else looks at my swan.
Just finished kaguya, and i really enjoyed it except the tranny blokeWent in blind expecting the usual /u/ subtext nothingburger, but it was about explicit as you could be without outright saying it.funny how it starts off looking like an agegap, then becomes a reverse agegap, then Iroha makes the robot body a loli so it goes back to looking like the original agegap
Does the Morita manga go anywhere yuri-wise?
>>4521430>without outright saying itIt was explicit, full stop. Don't give idiots wiggle room. She literally proposes to her and it is reciprocated which a second later triggers the lunarian invasion proving it was serious. Its the tale of the bamboo cutter for madoka's sake.
>>4521436> the lunarian invasionSAVE ME EIRIN!
>>4521430>tranny blokeNoi is just a guy that likes feminine stuff (and also an obvious fag, but that's neither here nor there). The official website mentions his avatar is also male, so I don't think there's anything to indicate being a tranny.

>>4521638She's like 3 centuries old, yeah I know that she's supposed to be a eternal 20 something in a body of a 16 y/o girl but at this point she's, her and most of her friends, a generic adult that would never reach her 50s or 60s. She's a self-employed girl that has connections with some of the richest (the elf) and powerful (the demon king and Belzeebub) people on the land and some other girls that can be interpreted as single woman from their 20s to their 40s
Not a yuri manga but I found this girl cute. Not sure if she's supposed to be a pro yuri mangaka or just doujin artist.

I really liked Cosmic Princess Kaguya but I hope we will get Yuri stuff where they at least kiss or something.

>>4521977>prize figureCome on Shueisha, let me splurge on high quality scales.
>>4521972probably something to do with having plausible deniability so they can market it to a wider audience. Theres some people who refuse to watch anything thats hard yuri for some reason, but will still watch light yuri. kinda like how they choose to omit the yuri tag from a series, even if they get married
>>4521977>still no bathtub series
>>4521962>Not a yuri mangaif anything there's make ex-colleague relationship tease with the MC so I assumed it's borderline to even post the pic (side character girl) in the first place, fearing somebody was going to throw a fithttps://mangadex.org/title/f21cda14-5352-4ae9-82c5-53d68b4d8869/yotaka-futatabigirl in pic appears in ch3 and ch8
>>4521753>>4521965I'm sure 95% of its readers ships the MC with the recurring male character (who finds her unattractive and smelling like literal poo), but there's too much hint for a possible yuri.
>>4521972>>4521983Japs don't really do kisses.
>>4521997I 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.

>>4522020How do you explain all those romance movies that do have kisses?
>>4522027We're not talking about real life you fucking dingus.
>>4521983Cosmic 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.
>>4522053The "Japs" are real life people.
>>4522056>zero plausible deniabilityIf 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.
>>4522057We're talking about movies, you fucking retard.
>>4522060G-witch doesn't have plausible deniability. The creators confirmed the marriage.>that's what plausible deniabiltiy meansNo, 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?
>>4522053>>4522061Stop wasting time on the joker and answer this >>4522052
>>4521996Nighthawk is a very interesting character and manga. I can see her seeing being bisexual but I do hope gaccha girl will win in the end.
>>4522064>the jokerWhy so serious?
Let's not pretent to be dumber than we really are and stop acting like we don't understand how a work of fiction depicts an unambiguous romantic confession
>>4522064Never seen those.
>>4522076and how it depicts something one of the possible interpretations of which is a romantic confession.
>>4522076Even 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.
>>4522076MagiRevo 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.>>4522079You 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?
>>4522080Nobody is denying any of these girls are gay on /u/. The topic was about anti-yuri schizos trying to find plausible deniability. And why they fail.
>>4522084>The topic was about anti-yuri schizos trying to find plausible deniability. And why they fail.You being upset with other people who don't share the same opinions as you, even if they are objectively wrong in this case, is not yuri or relevant to this board, or any board from this site.
>>4522065If it does go anywhere, like 2.5d seduction did for 5 minutes, feel free to update the class
>>4522086What the hell are you even waffling about?
>>4522087>like 2.5d seduction did for 5 minutesAbsolutely not worth it. Not even as a trivia piece.
>>4522087>>45220912.5D has actual lesbians, they're just not the main characters.
>>4522094Yeah like I said, not worth it or even a good trivia piece.
>>4522082Are 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. Also they added Sara to the second ED pic but I really doubt we will see that much characters there unless they rush the plot.
>>4522103There are only two other chairs anon, who belongs to Eterna and Ink who live with them.
>>4522098The girls will never want to fuck you. Kill yourself, you retarded het schizo
>>4522096I wouldn't say it's worth to read the manga just for Sensei and her girlfriend, but they got a whole arc.
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
>>4522084Claiming there's "plausible deniability" in clearly gay characters is denying they're gayThe 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)
>>4522094I 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.
>>4522115Noticing 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.
>>4522129Kill yourself, retard. Your post makes no senseThere's no enlightened "noticing". Just pure copium and denialAnd again, the "up to interpretation" shit was some bussiness dude who knows nothing about the show, not any actual "creator"
>>4522129While 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.
The Cosmic Princess Kaguya LN really upped the gay
>>4522137Does Iroha finally confess her love to Kaguya?
any idol yuri recommendations?
>>4522162Cosmic Princess Kaguya.
>>4522142Yes
>characters want to marry each other, fighting against destiny and their plotlines to do so>people say this isn't yuriAm I on drugs?
>>4522182Am I on drugs?No, you're on /u/.
>>4522136In 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.
>>4522182The novel apparently says something akin to 'Iroha and her brother are never gonna have kids'...that family line is dead via homosexuality.
>>4522064You'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.
>>4521972Watanare movie was just a while ago though Not only it was so popular and high quality but also on actual big screen
>>4522203Something 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.
>>4522207People can invent any excuse, like the typical "difference between men and women," but at the end of the day it's simply pure hypocrisy.
I was looking for some completed and fluffier age gap student teacher yuri to read tonight and was surprised how few there are to choose from. Kusanagi-san looks like the only one that isn't too dramatic.
>>4522192IPS exists.
>>4522237Kaguya doesn't have any DNA for that to work and we don't even know if it's possible to mix human and lunarian DNA to make a baby.
>>4522207>then with SuzumeWhich is funnier since he wanted to make it 2 women
>>4522237>>4522247They probably gonna adopt, i just think it was a clever way to say: YOUR CHILDREN ARE HOMOS!!
>>4522248It so fucking funny that the literal pedophiliac producer that is in jail stopped him...i don't want to say anything about anti-yuris, but they are pedophiles.
>>4522253Really makes the wheels on the bus go round and round
>>4522253lets not make any bold claims when we are in glass houses ourselves
>>4522255But let's also be real, this is basically nonexistent in real life, while het pedophiles and even gay male pedophiles are practically rampant. Not defending the Itou Hatchis and the Yuzuki Ryouta of the world, but they are barely a blip
>>4522255To be fair, Onee-loli and pedophilia are different things; the former is simply love, the latter is a cult of people who strongly justify their paraphilia as something good for everyone.

>>4522098The literal exchange isKaguya: "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.
>>4522115No, the convo was initially just about what retarded excuses hetshitters made and how stupid they are.
>>4522291>Japan's laws are retardedTrue, but are the moon's? Kaguya, as princess, can easily give Iroha citizenship there if need be.
>>4522297Uh 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.

what does /u/ thinkhttps://youtu.be/1oS-4aW-sho
>>4522401I think you should check the thread next time before posting >>4521971
>>4522291nta 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>>4522391you're replying to a bot
>>4522291Let'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 KaguyaExcept 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>botThen why are the mods not banning it? Botting is against 4chan's rules.
>>4522404>Why does the tsundere not confess back 50% into the movieGee, 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 belovedThat'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.
>>4522418Why 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.

Now that I've finished reading it again it makes me sad that my fond memories aren't going to hold up.

I need to find better yuri to cleanse my soul of this disappointment.

I was tempted to get a nice printer to do it myself but decided against it and just got a tablet to read on instead.

>>4522589Anon, it was already pointed out that the novel confirms Iroha's feelings. This isn't news. In fact that section is still more abstract than the parts where she just straight up says she loves her. As if the movie wasn't already obvious enough...

Hell, some subtext series today can't even meet that still.
>>4522834I 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.>>4522837Subtext isn't yuri, so why are you expecting a kiss?

>>4522917You 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.
>>4522918would you recommend it as a something to watch for the yuri?
>>4522923Hell no. And if you arent into Fate stuff, even bigger hell no.
>>4522926damn. thanks though and sorry for the shitty question lol

The subtitles i used made one of the fans seem really gay
>>4522903She could have used her money on prostitutes instead of alcohol. Also, I'm reading her books for the cringe contents. And sometime I can see how a POS I was.
>>4522829Yes, 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.
>>4523072Almost 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.
>>4522837Because 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 yuriApply 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 subtextBarely exists. Hetshitters nigh universally get explicit romance, always.>BL subtextWhy 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.
>>4523075If 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.
>>4523084This 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.
>>4523095You 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 complainYou havent heard about all the death threats, huh? Fujos are famous for those.
>>4523099>>So by default they are not universally treated as canonI 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 threatsEveryone 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 shipperDisgusting. 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?
>>4523112You should have realised you were talking to Mister 28-shows-per-season.
>>4523115Oh that retard who says you cant dismiss hetshows as bad unless you watch all of them, from start to finish? How did nobody ban him yet anyway?
>>4523118>that retard who says you cant dismiss hetshows as bad unless you watch all of them, from start to finish?Oh, I remember that one.
>>4523125The 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.
>>4523133Ok... 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.
>>4523135I'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.
>>4523136>Strawberry Panic>goodI thought we retired this meme in 2009.
>>4523140Don't pretend to be from here. It's kinda cringe.
>>4523143No pretense needed. But take your own advice,
not reading any of those walls of text, but i wont allow strawberry panics good name to be besmirched by some Tamaofag
>>4523137>>you hetshitterHave 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.
>>4523133Sis is spitting facts
>>4523151You 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.
>>4523148Shizuma and Nagisa would be in their 30s by now
>>4523152Het 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.

>>4523159You're so general and make a lot of assumptions, it's like everything is het until proven otherwise (not even that), ignoring tons of works that don't even feature romance as an element, and I'm talking about multiple media. So, is Goat Simulator het?

If I had a nickel every time a yurifag turns to yaoi I would have two nickels, which isn't much but I've seen it happen in recent memory. I'm aware the other way around isn't all that uncommon but how that THIS happen? Why? I can only see it as deterioration of taste
>>4523270I'm not into yaoi but at least it's not off-putting like het. In a few cases I can empathize a bit with people who like it.
>>4522849>projecting this hard
>>4523157And would be having aggressive sex still
>>4523113The anime choice a serious tone while the manga is more typical action stuffI think the anime make a mistake
>>4522885What if the fairytale that the new Madoka movie is based on turns out to be The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, and Madoka is Kaguya?"I'm sorry, Homura-chan, I love you, but I have to go back to the Law of the Cycle - they're coming for me"
>>4523269>bots are against 4chan's rules>"this doesn't break the board's rules!!!"
>>4523360Have yolu watched the trailer? I don't see any overlap.
>>4523375I specifically said 'what if'.Also just like with Rebellion watching the trailer didn't tell us it was based off The Nutcracker.
>>4523381Some crazy people did kind of analyze the Rebellion material that was shown before the movie and figured some of that out.But yeah, I got no clue what the new movie will actually be about. Seems pretty confusing. I'll be honest if it wasn't another chance for MadoHomu to get canon, I would not give a damn about this movie, because it feels totally unnecessary.
>>4523319I'm waiting for jokes about bad back
>>4523255i keep forgetting this show is airing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pjRpr7-REQYuri yuri panic author (on the monitor, not in person) gets interviewed. I never see these things get actual good translated subtitles so I thought I'd share.
>>4523521She looks young.
>>4523539Thats the only reason Nakamura agreed to the interview
So, younger lesbians are indeed into middle aged ladiesSomeone might have a crush on your mom, but not you
>>4523550That's the problem, it's pretty normal for younger lesbians to be into older ladies, the issue is that the older ladies are also into ladies older than them
itou is going to snatch all the younger ladies up
Any info on this yet?
>>4523555Are you talking about yourself?
>>4523560didn't this come out 5 years ago? don't think anybody translated it though
>>4523564Yeah, this is very old, maybe this anon saw the yurinovel bot reposting it and thought it was a new series.
>>4523561silence
>>4523569I do wish that Iruma's other yuri novels got translated
What's she saying here?
>>4523576The only relevant left is Itsuki Sensei, wish Sneikkes would pick it up since it's very likely never getting localized.
>>4523582what does "relevant" even mean here? i want all of the iruma yuri light novels to be translated
>>4523572Wow nonny, you got rejected by a middle aged lady
I want another full serialization from Takemiya Jin, one of the four hoursemen of yuri
>>4523560>see arts>OH SHIT THE YURI IS BACK>it's an oldieFUCK
>>4523581>Marsha, a thousand thorns cannot prevent me from seizing the flower that reigns there.
>>4523620My oh my that's good
It's depressing to know that it's Jan and yuri of the year is already decided.Honestly I don't think Madoka would turn out well with all the delays.
>>4523659>It's depressing to know that it's Jan and yuri of the year is already decided.you might as well think of it as yuri anime of the decade or of all time, there isn't much competition that can compare to it to begin with, and it's not like it would've been realistic to expect something even better to come at any point
Yeah, we know about Watanare, only Shuukura anime has a chance to fight back.
>>4523560Why is she barefoot?
these threads don't get archived anymore?
>>4523751I just noticed that a couple days go, not sure what's going on
>>4523751>>4523754From what I heard, the idol schizo from /vg/ somehow convinced archive admins to delete both this and the previous general thread. They are gone from both archivedmoe and archiveofsins.
>>4523748Shoes are lame.
>>4523768>>4523769I've only been away from /u/ for a few months and it feels like I missed years of developments. We've got like 6 explicit yuri series coming up, an apparently amazing movie just dropped out of nowhere, and on top of WataNare there was a gynoid ecchi anime that recently finished?
>>4523764So the archives are now compromised and are no longer trustworthy
>>4523780The Gynoid anime is still haflway through4 episodes out. 8 total
>>4521753Well, if I posted this, I shall post this to.
>>4523809Love how her eyes focus for that serious stare when she goes yaranaika
anyone want to share their manga 3x3s?I was putting together mine but I kept gravitating towards manga's i read recently most likely because of recency bias. there are definitely gems from the past however time always bumps them down
>>45239113x3 isn't enough for me. I've probably re-read over 9 things I'd consider all-time favorites just in the last month. There is too much good yuri now and I don't have the heart to discard one great yuri for another.
>>4523911Reread when feeling down, reread when feeling good, ready to reread at any time of year, at any time of day or night.
Is Kazuma Kuwabara a yurifag?
I wish rollover was better
>>4520695IroP won her IdolEripyo didn't
>>4523972That's the difference between a creepy otaku and Adachi without make up.
>>4523972Was there any development at all in Oshibudo? How’d it end?
>>4523972She's the most beautiful Adachi and so smart that she's able to channel her autism-level devotion into a scientific breakthrough to be with her love, no wonder she won.
>>4523894Not yuri and utterly disgusting.
>>4523974ChamJam make it to the Budokan but Maina and Eriypyo remain IdolxFan. In fact not of the Idol WOTAs end up with the Idols they keep fantasising about.
>>4523983Well yeah, if the yuri main couple didn't got together but the het side ones did, it would be the same as spitting in the face of series readership.
>>4523936>haru and midoridoes that even count? the only yuri was an unrequited love from her childhood who left town and got pregnant, only to realize she loved her afterall, but died
>>4523990A story about a girl in love with another girl is yuri, now if it was a story about something else but with a girl in love with another girl then it wouldn't be yuri. Though yes, that anon has a taste for nothing happens stories.
>>4523972Oshibudo ended? i thought it was still going.
>>4523990Doesn't the daughter fall in love with her tho? Not sure how it ended.
>>4523764where'd you hear that from?
>>4523990Shared house keys!
>>4524010Straight from the horse's mouth.
>>4523985>> but the het side ones didWhere does it say that?
>>4524028>reading comprehension
>>4524035>>4523983where?
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 collabYou'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 LycoThis 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 yuriGiven 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
>>4524039>if the yuri main couple didn't got together but the het side ones did>if>IF
>>4524011lol
>>4524043>NIKKESo, a het game.>They have done it before with Re Zero, CSM, EvaAll het franchises. And now Lyco, very curious...
>>4524049More like franchises that are popular and the production is willing to whore out. It was also in Madoka first, as I saidAre you gonna claim Madoka is het now?. And reminder: Yuri haters comparing us to the pedo overlord because of that one email linking here still think it's yuriWhy do you push het more than those scum?
If being in a het gacha disqualifies shit, then Sympho is disqualified because it showed up in the Higurashi gacha
Classic (that means 2012, not the Dawn Fall shit) BRS and Dead Master are in Azur Lane., Guess BRS is not yuri now
Madoka not yuri because Divine Gate (dunno the game, but the anime was some edgy het shit)Madoka also shows up in Disagea gacha (Disgaea is het)Madoka shows up in SMT gacha
>>4523936I liked all of them except run away since that author just isn't for me. Introspective implied romances are nice sometimes too. >>4523990MC'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.>>4524011Even though most of the series keeps it moody it isn't exactly shying away from their intent at the end. One of my favorite atmospheres in a series too. I have a beautiful looking box set copy of it.
>>4523992What are you talking about? 6 of them are explicit
>>4524052Azur Lane is yuri too.
>>4524063Only the anime. Not the game where the girls simp for (you), obviously assumed male like Blue Archive or NIKKE itself
>>4522087>>45220942.5D 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.
>>4524043>>4524050Gacha playerbase never fail to make tiktok contents look like oxford academic papers.
>>4523764Wait, so will these threads never be archived again, or is it just about this one and the previous one?
>>4524070Who knows, supposedly the schizo only throws a tantrum when someone gets to make the thread before him.
>>4524065No anon, he never once intended this to be a thing, you are not his audience and you have to stop pretending you were.
>>4524049>And now Lyco, very curious...So, all het franchises indeed.>>4524050>Are you gonna claim Madoka is het now?JP Magireco collabed with the -monogatari franchise, which is also het
>>4524065Holy shit, you're at it with this shit? I remember you shilling the shit out of this slop when there's an anime airing.
>>4524075Imagine being more of a hetshitter than gacha scumYou lost the argument, retards. Lyco is yuri and even the worst scum who'd love otherwise see it, so why can't you?
>>4524075Collabs are a executive decision and JP execs are dumb. A little reminder that D4DJ did a collab with fucking rent a whore
>>4524078>is yuri>whores out its characters to an objectively, undeniably het with a canon male protagonist gameBoth of those things can't be true at the same time.
>>4524078Many 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 itThey 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 itAnd not het, which is always a plus
>>4524083yuri 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.
>>4524080Again, other yuri franchises have done so. It's irrelevant>>4524081Exactly. Which is why the retard would need to deny stuff like Symphogear, BRS and Madoka itself. They have also shown up in het gacha>>4524082You'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
>>4524085Now tell me about Blue Reflection.
>>4524083Normal 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
>>4524087The 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%
>>4524085I 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.
>>4524079And 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 obsoleteAction series are a dime a dozen.
>>4524091No one forgot, which is why you're here seething that you're wrong> pretty much every yuri teasing show that aired since then had actual gay contentYou speak like there's so many of them.
>>4524043I 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 animeIt 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.
>>4524094Not 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..
>>4524099They all are as yuri as Lycoreco. What are you even talking about?
>>4524097I 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.
>>4524100Ah. So you're retarded.
>>4524102Action 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.
>>4524102Nah. It's legit subpar. Most fantasy shows are And of ccourse, animation fans want their stuff to look niceDo 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
>>4524073Artists don't think in the form of "audiences" the way you think they do.
>>4524103No, 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>HikkikomariThat 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.
>>4524107Yep. Completely braindead and in denial of reality
>>4524104Because 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.>>4524105Again 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.
>>4524109worse than that, a hetfag.
>>4524124I know not everything can be a super productionThus, 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 animationIf 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)
>>4524127Shows 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 regardsAnd we also had much better actual yuri shows, subtext and otherwise
>>4524131>no one caresDespite 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 fromLike 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.
>>4524143Lyco pandering to het is a false narrativeThe 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 happenGive 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.
>>4524146MahoAko s2 should have way more production now that it proved itself to be popular.
>>4524137>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 happenYou 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 LycoFor 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 insistThey 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.
>>4524145But it factually does, Madoka literally has het spinoffs with all the girls married.
>>4524147Anon, a franchise ten times bigger than Mahoako just had a Sasakoi tier of production disaster.
>>4524148If 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 MujicaOnly Gundam is action. MyGo/Ave Mujica is music melodrama and not much to my taste. Nice, but won't fill the same needs Lyco doesI 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 youThe shows aren't the same as Lyco and won't be.
>>4524153You 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.
>>4524149All the girls?
>>4524155I don't even know what you're trying to say anymoreAnd 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.
>>4524156Yes.
>>4524156With the exception of Mami who wants to be married.
>>4524158Good way to expose yourself as a retard
>>4524156Basically, yes.
>>4524157No 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?
>>4524163Whatever you say, retard. You clearly have no idea what I'm talking aboutAnd 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 logicAnime 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
>>4524149But 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."
>spin-offs can appeal to anything
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 MyGoWhat 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
>>4524171What happened there?
>>4524174Just 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 moreLycoReco is seen as just dissapointing and unsatisfying at worst. AveMuji is seen as a trainwreck trashfire.
>>4524165Maintext 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.
>>4524171>>4524177
>>4524177I doubt it, this writer already did the same thing her last 2 or 3 anime
>>4524181>>4524178So suddenly audience reactions is irrelevant. Yeah, you are just spouting bullshit to push your agendaAnd I'm not gonna explain anything to an schizo showing he wil go "nope" and keep insisting on his retarded agenda
>>4524183I'm just saying what people were saying. Regardless, they see it as an step down from MyGo and ruining everything with inconsistent soap opera writing and melodrama about unstable girls that is too ridiculous compared to the more down to earth drama in MyGO. Maybe she just lost her touch or MyGO was a rare miracle
>>4524177>Stuff like Mutsumi's multiple personality shit in particular was recieved quite badly.I'm glad people received it badly because it was ass. What a shitshow.
>>4524185No 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.
>>4524185I 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.
>>4524204>>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
>>4524208All subtext is open to interpretation, it's literally what subtext means.
>>4524210That'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.
>>4524209Does anyone have that sequence in WebM format? It's hilarious and keeps reminding me of the final part of the movie "Dumb and Dumber."
>>4524217
>>4524212You 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.
>>4524218>>4524223Thank you so much, I love you all.Why do the Chinese say this is a bad anime? Those moments are pure gold.
>>4524224>Why do the Chinese say this is a bad anime?Terminal case of shit taste
>>4524220Nothing 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.
>>4524226Mortis 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.
>>4524227Like 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.
>>4524188This is stupid but using a more objective metric of yuri than yes/no might resolve arguments.Utena: 6AえYuru Yuri: 1BうLycoris: 2AえKaguya: 3Aあ
>>4524188>+2 女性目線>-2 男性目線lel I didn't know these terms had made it to Japan too
>>4523983What about the relationship between the two idols in the group?
>>4524220You don't need to know the author's intentions to interpret a story.>>4524204>the LR ones moved on very fast.It's still going on to this day. You should really stop talking out of your ass.
>>4524188Holy shit that's why japanese nerds are so good, if we use this a lot of shitposting could be avoided
Will the new GitS anime finally stop hetwashing Motoko?
>>4524238>>you can pretend you know what is on the head of the author if you want,Basically this: >>4524260What is understood is the author's work and what is contained in that work; it's that simple. Don't invent a story that doesn't exist and blame the author for something you don't understand.
>>4524266>>if we use this a lot of shitposting could be avoidedNah, a lot of people are proud of their own ignorance; it's easier for them to assume they're right when they're not. They just want to feel superior to others. At this point, even yuri is irrelevant to those people.
>>4524065>the most generic cliche hetshit romance endingI assume Mc-Kun got nothing and it made moids mad
>>4523911I'm too new mine is just 4
>>4524350Is that legit the first 4 you've ever read?
>>4524226poor mans MYGO, one of the few times the Chinese were right.
>>4524340MC-kun has nothing in common with CF-chan whatsoever. CF orbits him because he saved her from the bullies once 10 years ago. On top of that he didn't even feel much romantic interests in real girls. It's like it's making fun of the generic romcom plot. Then there's the lesbian character who's into the CF. CF and her immediately clicked and shared a lot of things in common. CF was her first love, she spent her entire life in girls school and got asked out a lot, but no one clicked with her. CF was the first person she could feel that crush on. She wanted CF to grow up and stop being so emotionally attached to M-kun. So far it was setting up to be Haganai but gayer. But no, gotta pander to your main audience.
>>4524354No, my favorites from the ones I've read so far
>>4524224I thought they loved the fuck out of mujica? Or was it just uisaki
>>4524050>comparing us to the pedo overlord because of that one email linking hereItou Hatchi gave us a shoutout? Souce, pls?
>>4524188translate it, weebs!
>>4524362It would have been a massive upset to make the girl who only exists to like one guy actually develop a spine would be akin to 4th heroine. Darn shame
>>4524366What else have you read so far?
>>4523911Some of my favorites.
>>4524370Theyve taken Yuri hostage, and this is their list of demands (scary!!)
>>4524381Only one I don't recognize is middle right
>>4524188How to (incorrectly) describe yuri to a chatbot.
>>4524385It's the manga version of this one.
>>4524374This Monster Wants to Eat MeKimi ga Hoeru Tame no Uta oAkuyaku Reijou no Oyome-samaShitsurakuenGirls x VampireUseless PrincessesOpapagotoand various oneshots
>>4524372Unfortunately CF-sama is the 2nd heroine.
>>4524389But they're both manga >>4524391>Useless PrincessesOkay how is that not one of your favorites? It's literally some of the best in the genre >Shitsurakuen Completely understandable why this one isn't
>>4524394What? One is a light novel, the other is the manga of that one
>>4524394>Useless PrincessesIt was too predictable I guess, it felt generic? The art was throwing me off badly sometimes too
>>4524394>It's literally some of the best in the genrenta but i dont like how autistic the MC became around the time of the confession, was really silly. Felt forced and thought it detracted from the otherwise really well done character development they had going between the two of them up until then.i still really liked it, but i also wouldn't put it in my 3x3, competition is too tight
>>4523911My opinion changes daily, too many good series
>>4524171Their hate for Ave Mujica is exacerbated by how much they loved Mygo prior, but they still hate the shit out of LycoReco too. The difference is they don’t really direct their hate towards the characters of Ave Mujica meanwhile they despise Chisato along with writer.
>>4524406I completely lost interest in murcielago because of how dragged it is, no anime and that one disgusting scene in oen of the latest chapters.
>>4524415Spoil me please
>>4524413Chisato was only interesting when there was hope Takina's feelings would reach her and change her, and they briefly did when she tried to kill Majima. But then she reverted to her usual self, the overly excited sociopath who doesn't understand or care about the people who love her and sacrifice for her. Then ah let's go travel. It was shitty choice after shitty choice. It makes a re-watch impossible. The only thing worse was the golf show.
>>4524425There was a literal explicit hetshit sex page in one of the recent chapters, I don't care if it's literal who characters that was the nail in the coffin for me.
>>4524413This is cope. They hate Lyco far less than they do AveMujiYou can think whatever about the shows yourself, but this is the reality of the reaction. Lyco is indeed saved by not being a sequel to a beloved show. And in terms of not hating characters, false_ They hate Mutsumi and her shit far more than they ever do Chisato. And Tomori. They shat on the Crychic reunion concert and her performance. The hate for Lyco only came for the finale. AveMujica recieved hate far before thatSo, honestly: I can't believe Lyco has a worse reception. Only one show here started recieving hate before it was halfway over
Conclusion:Make up your own opinions and argue them instead of trying to use retards online for validation"People forgot x" "people love y". Who the fuck cares about "people"? Do YOU like it, or not? Say why and use your own words instead of using popularity or the lack of it to validate yourself like a retard
>>4524437there was het gangrape with goldmarie
>>4524426While I wouldn't go so far, I also hate Chisato being so static. The writers were clearly too in love with her martyr personality and her "must not kill. I'd prefer to die myself if it costs someone else their life" mindset. They clearly saw it as some enlightened shit (it isn't) and were too afraid to let Chisato develop, to let her change and think some people deserve death and she deserves to live.
>>4524444> They hate Mutsumi and TomoriI guess I'm spiritually Chinese then. Tomori is one of those characters that shows are clearly way too proud of themselves for. And in AM she was way too central. Overall crappy writing.
I wish Revy was lesbian.
>>4524444But Ave Mujica has MyGo to stand on. Lycoreco only has itself. MyGo by itself is good, but the Lycoreco ending and forcing the Joker dude as a love interest killed LR.
>>4524466>>forcing the Joker dude as a love interestNo, it wasn't done. This literally just shows little to no understanding of what was happening on screen. There's a difference between interpreting and making everything up.
>>4524464This, but Nana
Frankly, at this point, the (Chinese) hatred of AveMujica and Lyco feels more like the hatred that the Dragon Ball Super anime received, not because of the real problems that the series had, but because it destroyed preconceptions and expectations of people who think they are intelligent, it disrupted their comfort zone and they couldn't accept that.There's a small, independent problem with MyGo and Ave Mujica; these aren't independent series, no matter how much a group of lazy snobs want to push it. These are the fourth and fifth seasons of the BanG dream anime continuity. It's funny to read the down-to-earth nonsense when this continuity literally has a technological battle suit.
>>4524444>They hate Mutsumi and her shit far more than they ever do Chisato. And TomoriWtf i love China now. Thank you Soyo for saving MyGo; Soyo x Anon is infinitely more enjoyable than Anon x Tomori will ever be>>4524469shut up, Socrates
>>4524466>Ave Mujica has MyGoAnd this is the problem. Fucking up a sequel to a beloved show is seen as worse than fucking up an standalone showLyco harms only itself with it's fumbles. Ave harms a beloved show (MyGo) and that's worse. Also ChisaTaki aren't blood related. The UiSaki blood relation reveal is seen as sinking the ship far harder than anything Lyco did by forcing them to be strictly family and closing off all other possiblitiesFriends can go become lovers. Family? Harder, unless it's a fetish show, and AveMuji too many didn't feel like a fetish show, so Hatsune being Sakiko's aunt feels like a much harsher ship sinking.
>>4524437Retard.
>>4524470There was no real hate just unhinged UmiTaki and AnonSoyo shippers being unhinged shippers. Ave Mujica had a good reception in the end because it had two more ships that were HatsuSaki and NyaMutsu (ironically most NyaMutsu fanfics on AO3 are in chinese)
>>4524469They are part of Bandori, yes. But only because they already had the game and they weren't gonna waste the chance to include them in there And making a new game was equally silly. The whole thing is like a soft-reboot, you can easily watch without any BanDori because it was first concieved as a separate project. Even in the final product, BD stuff is cameos and the most relevance they have is one BD band inspiring Sakiko to form Crychic. But that could have easily been an original unnamed band in a version of the show that isn't part of BD
>>4524473You're making a retard out of yourself.
>>4524475>the incest ship and the ship with the soap opera madwoman at the center of the writing issues who sucked screentime for her unhinged shit and is seen as one of the biggest problemsOf course, some chinese might not mind (hence the fanfics), but to most these are the worst and the center of the issues. There was no redemption. The show is seen as a trainwreck that drags down a beloved show like MyGoIf you still like it: fine. But just like me liking Lyco doesn't change how others feel about it, you liking Ave Mujica doesn't change that others hate it to death and see it as horrible writing
>>4524478For stating the truth as I saw it?.
>>4523911
>>4524477But that's not the case, and that's what really matters at the end of the day. It's similar to pretending that Vento Aureo and the Ruby/Sapphire arc (manga) are not part of the series' continuity and can be read independently, when that's not the case.>>ut that could have easily been an original unnamed band in a version of the show that isn't part of BDNo, actually, the fact that they are those bands is important for both series. It's completely ignored that Riki was also inspired by another important BD band. In addition, one of the members of MyGo is the granddaughter of the old witch, a very important character for the beginnings of the series, so you can't use the silly excuse of being independent. Maybe it was in the development phase, but the final product is Season 4 and Season 5. Ganso! exists now, destroying that silly independent narrative (the narrative aspects of Seasons 4 and 5 are not that different from what was dealt with in Seasons 1, 2, and 3).
>>4524480You really think the chinese think Ave Mujica is worse than MyGo because of a melodramatic incest ship?
>>4524479>>Ave MujicaWhat are all the complaints about with this season? Because, to be perfectly honest, the series worked within the established elements, even with its ridiculously happy ending. I can't consider it garbage writing, especially in a world where Digimon Tri, SAO, Gridman, Eminence in Shadow, Yu-Gi-Oh! Go Rush, Rental Kanojo and Lostorage Wixoss exist.
>>4524484Well. Many people who shat on AveMuji are people who got into BD through MyGO and thus are unaware of the sillier aspects of the franchise or expected AveMuji as a follow up to keep tone with MyGo instead of going full into retarded mental nonsense melodrama and sinking a popular ship with incest>>4524486>director writerNice nonsense. It was a dude who wrote a few episodes but not the director or main writer. If I'm misinterpreting reactions to AveMuji, so are you with Lyco>>4524487And because of Mutsumi's multiple personality shit and how everything was paced and written. Just a shit sequel to MyGOYou need to remember even het needs its incest to be NBR because the industry HATES BR incest. So making Sakiko and Hatsune blood related in an industry that has long since stopped approving any blood related incest, means to many sinking the ship and locking them as family>>4524488Shit pacing. Garbage writing regarding Mitsumi's bullshit being unrelatable and hard to believe (both her behavior and how the others react to her), the reveal of Uika as Sakiko's aunt HatsuneCryching reunion being shit and Tomori's performance in said concert being bad>Digimon Tri, SAO, Gridman, Eminence in Shadow, Yu-Gi-Oh! Go Rush, Rental Kanojo and Lostorage WixossThe people shitting on AveMuji don't care about those. And I mean, if you're gonna bring up absolute dogshit, that also applies to Lyco. Say what you will, it's still better written than your average isekai or het romcom. You can't shut down criticisms by going "here's some dogshit that is even worse"
>>4524490>even het needs its incest to be NBR because the industry HATES BR incestI remember the times when people called NBR incest an act of abject cowardice. Truly have times changed. Hope we get a BR incest yuri series at some point (besides the one apparently featured in Ave Mujica)
>>4524499Isn't this because of a relatively new tokyo ordinance that limits depictions of incest in things that aren't r18? Psuedo-incest is probably the most we can expect outside of indie/doujinshi releases if so.
>>4524504Of all things to censor, they pick that one?
>>4524397Oh I see what you mean now. >>4524398It's fine if it's predictable, the execution is far more important >>4524401That almost feels like a nitpick but I will agree competition is tight
>>4524490>>Many people who shat on AveMuji are people who got into BD through MyGOThis is the fault of the people, not the series; just because they don't know the "Lore" doesn't mean it doesn't exist.>Shit pacing.I don't know that part, what is meant by good pacing?>Garbage writing regarding Mitsumi's bullshit being unrelatable and hard to believeThis is just people's personal opinion; I didn't see anything offensively bad.>the reveal of Uika as Sakiko's aunt HatsuneThat just adds drama, but it doesn't ruin anything at all.>Cryching reunion being shitStupid opinion, the meeting was good.>Tomori's performance in said concert being badwhere?>The people shitting on AveMuji don't care about those. That's not my problem, it's not going to change something that is a fact, and that is that AveMuji is not a disaster or a train wreck, because in fact the series I mentioned are exactly that and even worse, they insult their audience and spit in their face, not caring a damn, AM can be considered mediocre at best.>if you're gonna bring up absolute dogshit, that also applies to Lyco.No, it isn't, especially with Engage Kiss existing.>>You can't shut down criticismsThat doesn't silence the criticism, but it makes clear how unreliable and exaggerated that criticism really is, especially when it comes from people with little or no real knowledge of absolute pieces of crap.
>>4524437>that was the nail in the coffin for me.And the guy was murdered for doing so. Amazing
>>4524468Trust in the plan
>>4524483You still got Virgin Empire after that non ending?
I was trying to imagine if I'd be interested in /u/ had I found it in 2011 but then I realized I was barely interested in 2016 when I first came across it. Back then, I felt annoyed because every manga I read was so dramatic and barely committed, like yuri was something to be apologetic about forever. And anime was even worse, every blog I read warned me that the ship was doomed and it always really was. Then it happened, 20-gay-teen. Explicit anime and manga started being more fun and open. Now I struggle to even remember those dark times unless I try hard. Oh life is so good and I'm so spoiled.
>>4524519nta but i'm sure my favorite couples from that series will stay together just fine
>>45245202008 to 2018 was the "dark age" of yuri. Yes we had sone things here and there but there was some sort of drought if you compare it to all the yuri anime we got from 2004 to 2007-2008.
>>4524477>And making a new game was equally silly.Didn’t they just announce a new game for new bands plus Ave Mujica?
>>4524519For me Nonnonnon still not dating Yumimi is unforgivable. They were too important for me. And my other faves, the smart couple, barely had any moments.
>>4524468Nana is a lost cause unfortunately.
>>4521223>>4521208I just remembered and went to watch the third episode, but it's HARDThe directing and screenplay just don't help it at all. The part where we just learn how bad churc went hard down on the herbal medicine (penaltyof death iirc) but 5 seconds later a church nun just casually throws that away and no big deal - okay, that's a flaw of the source material.But all the clumsy exposition kills me. The part where the hero party fights the demons and asshole sage starts talking.>btw yuusha has this super power>btw she can't use it, because pining for Flum>btwMaybe I got burned out of watching common anime but It's a chore to listen to this.I'll stick with reading the manga whenever it updates (though it's coming slowly so I always forgot what happened by the time new scanlation lands or I pirate the next volume).Fucking kek at the yuusha being called Svíčka tho
>>4524565>Anon is upset a girl is kind and willing to break bullshit rules and that another girl is in love
>>4524283She is shown lezzing for porn money but being with a guy when it's not a matter of profit in the manga, sadly.
>>4524283>Will the new GitS anime finally stop hetwashing Motoko?You didn't read the manga at all?She has a proper bf in it with who she lives together.
>>4524566That i a nice thing.Author shot the story in the leg somewhat though. The loli being open to it would work better if it wasn't put right next to the herbs ban exposition. It's just distractingly sloppy writing.I guess it ads together with the relationship of FLum and Milkit not being built up and depicted very well (is the source by a male author, any chance?).
>>4524571Does Shirow have an actual lesbian in any of his manga? I guess Motoko's porn partners may be. The side girl in Appleseed kind of hits on Deunan in shower but is rebuffed hard.
>>4524149And various confirmed het characters from magireco, remember
>>4524572NTA>The loli being open to it would work better if it wasn't put right next to the herbs ban expositionIdk why do you think it's so bad. Convenient? maybe but Sara's also a nun that actually enforces the law instead of just blindly obeying the church.>I guess it ads together with the relationship of FLum and Milkit not being built up and depicted very wellWell even if Flum's character arc it's fueled by her feelings for Milkit their character arcs are so detached that you can argue that they belong to entirely different type of stories. Flum's arc has a very big influence from the plot but Milkit's arc it's mostly introspective. Also their romance becomes better after the story ends in the extras so I think this was more a consequence of the author having little experience writing romance, they wrote other yuri WN before but it was mostly a horror and revenge story.
>>4523911it's hard to pick 9 favourites, i love a lot of series
Will there ever be a fantasy anime with elves lezzing that is at least half-decent quality?
>>4524591I really doubt it. For some reason everyone wants to fuck elves but nobody wants to be elves, at most, and with a lot of luck, we could get a "ship" of two elves inside a human MC yuri harem.
>>4524601>nobody wants to be elvestruly preposterous
>>4524572The author dedicates several pages of just Flum and Milkit's learning about each other, doing SOL stuff and flirting, the anime just has no time to push all this. I also don't recommend for you to start a male x female fight since most yuri works are written by women and this includes most of the really bad ones.
>>4524012Stop giving the schizo attention or believing anything he says.
>>4524601I remember enough from my ancient WoW-playing days to know that everyone (but especially women) want to be elves actually.
>>4524643WoW dark elves are a entirely different thing than 'traditional" elves.
>>4521223I just can't get excited for "game world hero quest" but with yuri.
>>4521223>>4524661I said that before that it has to be praised because it has one of the few not retarded and actually logically consistent cases of kicked out of party trope. Very rare for somebody to actually pull it properly.Alas, particularly in the anime the rest of the screenplay and direction doesn't hold up so the potential gets wasted.
Wait, is Emiri the lesbian side character?
>>4524673Why are you watching that
>>4524644This is doubly false because the night elves are more or less just night themed standard nature loving elves AND the super traditional elves are also stupidly popular.
>>4524574Does Koukaku no Pandora count? Or is that considered only Rikudo's manga?
More explicit yuri shows like Watanare please. I don't mean poly, though I don't mind it, I mean with clear romance and kisses. Not just a kiss in the end or a kiss that fades from the characters' memories.
>>4524464Her VA did get to voice probably the biggest anime gigalesbian before Hiiragi Utena at least>>4524524Considering '09 a bad year for yuri anime but also praising '04-'08, not sure I've ever seen that on /u/ before. Usually people either appreciate the 90s-00s or consider everything before the 2010s abject trash
Batoto is down for real now. Are there any other websites that upload manga with official scans? I'm already familiar with Weeb Central.
17 Again except yuri
>>4524694Watership Down but yuri
>>4524693I'm starting to wish I hoarded yuri scans for all those years I spent reading every new release daily. Trying to find old things that got licensed has been harder lately and makes me worried for a future where yuri is abundant but scans are scarce.
My favorite subgenre of yuri is the ones about yuri doujin artists trying to keep their doujin activity a secret from their classmates/coworkers (but they end up finding out anyways)
>>4524685Unfortunately you are a minority
>>4524464>I wish Revy was lesbian.Revy is canonically bisexual remind you she had sex with so many girls in jail that she was the top dog in her prison. In the recent chaptersshe's grooming the young french girl.
I'm so glad omegaverse crap isn't a thing in nippon land
>>4524782youre not getting my recommendations which such obvious reverse psychology
>>4524666>mimi mixnice! need more manga that starts off with yuri rape in the first chapter
>>4524666Lighthearted yuri may be best yuri.I don't hate drama, I really liked the latest Kanoko arc for example, but there's something so healing about girls just loving girls whimsically, with the occasional heartfelt moments.It's like watching puppies play.
>>4524756With how successful it was? No way. It's only logical for them to be bolder from now on. It makes money.
>>4524796Watanare was successful because Renako is a failure yet gets to bathe with all the pretty girls. where would you find something else like that to adapt?
>>4524797It was successful because it was fun and the girls relationships were developed well. Get any material like that and give it some budget, it'll do well. I'll take any explicit story. There should be at least one a year from now on.
>>4524764Regardless of her bisexuality, the series has way too much Revy x Rock and way too little gayness.
>>4524673Yes
>>4524764isn't prison homosexuality kind of special circumstance that often if not most of the time doesn't translated to living outside? And furthermore prison rape and sex may be more of a power structure instrument rather than expression of usual sexuality.male homosexuality at least, idunno about women
>>4524787>het doujinshi gets turned into a serialized yuri mangamimi mix is weird
>>4524812It's just stories written in the same universe, far from the first story to do this, same thing with Adashima who exists in the same universe as Denpa Onna and some other Iruma previous works.
>>4524679>Does Koukaku no Pandora count?I guess it could. I actually didn't read or watch that one, kind of fell through between my various interests.
>>4524796>>4524799The problem is that it doesn't work that way; I don't understand how some people can be so naive, and this is supposed to be an adult board.You have to consider existing works to adapt or if you have a solid idea to create something original. Unlike soulless garbage like Isekai harem, shonen publications, mecha series, or (het) romcoms, yuri isn't something that's produced automatically (similar to Megukas or good SOL series). It's not something you can simply create a bunch of copies of to satisfy a need. Since these works aren't exact copies of each other, you can't expect all yuri to become super popular or trendy because these series are barely even similar to each other.
>>4524834>Isekai harem, shonen publications, mecha series, or (het) romcoms,Just make them all lesbian. Problem solved.
>>4524834Adapt volumes 5 through 8 of Otherside picnic.
>>4524836The irony is that doing that would actually make those kinds of series better (as happened with the adaptations of Azur Lane, Koihime Musuo, and even Girl Friend Beta), but these would be bombarded with criticism and complaints of being "generic" from the same people who praise the crap I already mentioned. For someone who likes Index to say that a SOL series is empty is a great act of hypocrisy.>>4524837After the fans' complaints, what the people in charge probably understood wasn't "we want a better adaptation" but, "people don't want this." Personally, I can accept a mediocre or poorly adapted first season, as long as the rest to be adapted is better (which happens with many SOL series whose first season isn't that good, but improves a lot after that).
>>4524837this, but volumes 1-4 (properly)
How yuri is Agatha All Along?The first episode's pretty gay
>>4524846Very.
>>4524846The whole show is pretty gay.
>>4521223>>4524565Ep4 wasn't that bad at the start, but then they totally flunked the scene where the monster catches up with the girls in the corpse pitNot properly dramatic and to top it, the damn narrator voiceover.I was somewhat optimistic when the Flum VA delivered some narration at the start of the episode, because fuck it, why didn't they have the protagonist narrate? That would at least be a bit better.
>>4524846>>4524848>>4524853Post it in the live action thread before it dies.>>4524854One of the bigger problems of cheap adaptations happens when the director and the writers don't have the time and/or resources to really adapt a scene so they just try to stick to the source material in a way that you need narrators, internal monolgues and lots of descriptions.
Damn, either something is wrong on my receiver, or alsmost nothing in the supposedly suspensefuly scenes lands for me, when the demoness appeared to save them, it also felt lame, as if the stuff fails to hit the proper rhythm of narration.
>>4524855Unfortunate, and here I thought it could be a good choice to get adapted. Like Ubel Blatt
>>4524856That's because they shortened the scene so Sara wasn't capable to be put in real danger. In the LN Sara's fight had real stakes so you could fell relieved when Flum saved her and later when Neigass came to save both of them.>>4524857It was but they choose more cheap gore to compensate for the lack of time.Also I can't believe they did a Shokei Shoujo and adapted scenes from future volumes in the opening.PD They're not hiding that the captcha is being used to train drones anymore.
>>4524857That was even worse because they skipped the whole intro. Imagine if Omae Gotoki anime started with volume 2 or 3. That's Ubell BlattThe problem is utlra violent edgy shit like this has fallen out of fashion and thus you won't get any big names interested. The adult demon (Neigass) x 10 year old nun (Sara) romance will also put off any big names. Onee Loli stuff like that played seriously that commits to the relationship (to the point of them having sex in bonus WN chapters) will also put off big names. So Omae Gotoki was in fact a very bad choice for adaptation since the content meant only shit tier staff would do it. What we have is possibly the best the industry can offer for this kind of story
>>4524860>spoilerI actually read the manga like that and it worked for me.Due to misunderstanding, I thought the "before anime start" chapters (that were really chapters put out before a magazine it was published in changed) actually came out later as a prequel.It made sense for me, that he appears as a protagonist that the world already knows things about and we are slowly learning them. I was wrong with that impression of course, since it would need a bit more work to make it work like that.I guess Omae Gotoki will end up being a material with setup that was better than what the resulting story realised.
>>4524862Another disappointment like pic rel, I meant to add. But at least it didn't get axed and the novel is supposedly handled better.
>>4524860NTA>spoilerIt's possible to make that in Omae Gotoki, volume 1 it's slow and tame compared to volume 2 and 3. A little narration telling the audience what happenes bewteen Flum's slavement and the begin of volume 2 could be a good way to skip episodes 2 to 6? and to let the audience enjoy the real action, including the yuri action
I caught up with the MagiRevo manga, and I was blown away by how so much better it was than the anime. It's a shame that it won't continue past the same point in the story.Anime adaptations in general feel like garbage nowadays. If it's not the big trending shounenshit of the current year, it's guaranteed to be low-budget crap made with no effort or passion. Me may love these stories and their characters, but to anime studios they're just another product in the assembly line.
>>4524865MagiRevo anime is actually good, though. Had actual effort and passion put into it. You could have used anything else to make your pointUnless you think the only form of effort and passion are the shonenshit clips you see in SakugabooruBut compare to something like Omae Gotoki and you can tell the differenceAt least KimiShinu looks good
>>4524865>how so much better it was than the animeThat's only because the manga doesn't have to save screentime so you have time to feel Anisphia's angst between manga chapters, the art also helps a lot but the anime was fine for all the time limitations it had.
BaKaguya
>>4524876Comical Princess Kaguya
>>4524867>MagiRevo anime is actually good, thoughI guess it is. It came out alright compared to others, but it still feels rushed. It lost so much of its depth that it ended feeling more generic than it should.>>4524855I mostly meant stuff like this one. Omae Gotoki is just another item in the long list of seasonal fantasy shows. The narration doesn't even tell us anything we don't already know, it's just describing what's happening onscreen like a show for toddlers.
>>4524878>it's just describing what's happening onscreen like a show for toddlers.Maybe it's a experiment to see how tricks made for ipad babies are received by the usual anime audience.
>>4524880inb4 it's AI slop writingan equivalent of the lulzy "And this is how blah-blahity topic goes / You now know how mlueh mluehs" that LLMs put at the end of their output when you prompt for "analysis" to convince you it's not just monkeys randomly bashing keys on billions of typewriters.
>>4524878>it still feels rushed. It lost so much of its depth that it ended feeling more generic than it should.This is a problem lots of adaptations suffer, even the super big budget shit like FateIt's not easy to end on a decent place like the anime did and keep absolutely all the depth of the source when you have strict time limits on episode length and amount of episodesThe anime's endpoint was perfect and I'll gladly accept the lost depth.
I wish every anime had narration since it seems to filter the pretentious types from it.
>>4524884I haven't used any of those AI shits so I have no idea what you're referencingLooking at the director and anime writer, while the anime writer has more experience in low budget shit like this, the director seems to be a complete first timer with no other credits in ANIdb, not even minor roles. They apparently got a complete newfag and put him as main director
>>4524805As for Rock he's been hard simping on that Chinese lady more than Revy. I think Revy and Rock are more than business partners than tension lovers.
>>4524890Hmm, I see. That resulting in the badly flowing narration and execution of scenese would not be a surprise then.
>>4524890Well using a newbie as the director worker for Ange Vierge but then he went and made Two Car...
>>4524876>>4524877Refined and elegant moon princess.
>>4524922It's amazing how this ship have become so popular. I guess japanese girls weak point was always the stomach.
idol x idol story needs an anime just so we can actually get porn from the series
>>4524888I bet you prefer the theatrical cut of Blade Runner
>>4524936As a matter of fact it's kinda ironic for you to ask this since it's my favorite movie ever and I find the director version just a cash grab
>>4524961Blade Runner is yuri because in the book Rachel has the line "Is this testing whether I'm a replicant or a lesbian?"
So is green yuri anime going to license all the western music?
Suddenly remembered CreoDamn the author for abandoning this...
>>4525050They'll get at least some of it. They had a nirvana cd collab release before the anime was even announced. I doubt they have hte cash to swing licensing every song imaginable but you never know. This series does numbers.
>>4525055And while writing this comment I just remembered Epitaph tooDammit all...what an era of wasted potential the late 2000's ~ early 2010's was.
>>4525050>>4525056They released an official soundtrack CD with all these songs: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/the_guy_she_was_interested_in_wasnt_a_guy_at_all_ch113_5#17I'm sure licensing these for the anime costs way more than for a CD but there is at least a precedent.
>release the spyce, noir, burst angel, canaan, el cazador, madlax, metallic rouge, princess principal, ninkoro, etc.Theres so many other yuri spy/mercenary duo shows, why did mainstream audiences just latch on to LR for?Still see the occasional retard reply to any yuri-esque action show and complain about how its trying too hard to be LR because it has gay girls, as if it invented the yuri spy genre
>>4525075I see the following possible explanations for this outrageous fact:a) recency biasb) flashy meme directionc) to spite you personally
>>4525075>release the spyceIt just didn't have engaging story or characters. Also seem to recall production wasn't that good> noir, burst angel, canaan, el cazadorLiterally too old for the LR audience. Lots of modern anime watchers got into it recently and hate anything made before they got into anime. >metallic rouge,Lead duo had a worse developed bond than ChisaTaki and the plot was trying to do too much in too litlle episodes. It was a mess.> princess principal,It had it's day on the sun, but consider lots of modern watchers struggle to follow goddamn Jujutsu Kaisen. PriPri TV telling the story in anachronic order instead of the typical chronological order just makes it harder to follow. Then it lost any chance to stablish it's name by making the follow up movies that are still released. The wait beetween movies kills all interest and momentum>NinkoroWhile it has a few moments of action, action it's not in it's nature and it will often end fights quickly as it's focus is exploring the characters and their relationships and also comedy. The simple answer is Lycoris is simple enough to follow, with a decent focus on well animated action and the most recent example of it's genre that is an actual action show and not a comedy with few action tidbits. Recency bias makes for a lotIf we get another action focused show like this with production on Lyco's level, maybe these mainstream audiences will stop latching onto LR, but we didn't.
>>4525075Chisato's fat thighs and whatever other subtle fanservice moment she hadThat's all
Today we're sulking because of subtle fanservice (but not all of it).
>>4525075most of those are way too old, nowadays watchers haven't even heard of them
>>4525075One word: Aniplex
>>4525075LR wasn't yuri but yaoi so it became mainstream, it's that simple
>>4525081Some of the mentioned title also had that, so it's not it
>>4525082Stomach flab is the best.
>>4525082Seeing a Koala naked isn't fanservice
>>4525075Big producer behind it and good character design, but it clearly wasn't that mainstream since the franchise didn't got anything relevant for years.
>Princess KaguyaI didn't vote for her!
>>4525072Has any anime ever licensed western music for a series before? This is going to be a first to the sheer amount it uses if it pulls it off too. I could see the music labels licensing everything that gets asked for just because this could be seen as a way to break into a previously untapped market.
>>4525137plenty, but then they often got taken out for the English licensed DVDs
>>4525072grandma's mix tape
>>4525077LR is waifubait shit. That's why it's popular. It was that easy.
>>4524415Murcielago author is based. complained on twitter about yuri that refused to have a kiss scene, and defended a yuri artist who liked to draw "looking at viewer" art from schizos
>>4525163Is it really waifubait if fans still make lots of yuri art to this day
>>4525165>artist who liked to draw "looking at viewer">yuriOne of those statements is wrong.
>>4524437>literal who charactersMeh
>>4525168>male characters present, one of which is the love interest for one of the female main charactersYes.
But enough about GWitch.
>>4524517If he (and the hetslut) were actually murdered for that reason then I will pick it up again and kneel.
>>4525174Nope, he merely took a pratfall off a tower and she ended up wearing revealing clothing and dancing for men in Hawaii
>>4525137Usually they are used for OPs or EDs, which then maybe gets also used as an insert a bit. Tons of famous ones do that.For a whole soundtrack...well, the challenge is probably gonna be if it's famous songs then it costs out the ass, if it's just getting a specific genre or feel then they probably get Japanese musicians to do it even if the genre is western or w/e.
>>4525137Fucking JoJo?
>>4525075Lycoris aired during the pandemic, and at time where anime viewership is higher and more accessible than ever, of course it's gonna be more popular than shows that aired decades ago.
>>4525075Chisato's VA.
>>4525163So why is it that the real multimedia project made for waifus by the same studio, which not only had het but also the typical popular elements with waifus, wasn't the expected success, while LR, which is literally a series starring girls that, when it comes down to it, has quite modest designs compared to the other project, was successful despite being less appealing to real waifufags?>>4525172It's funny that they keep forcing this false and dishonest narrative and completely ignore that it was ChisaTaki who sold this series and was one of the reasons for its popularity, in addition to the complete ignorance that Waifufags and Hetfags are different things.
>>4525189Ecchi anime is not really an waifufag thing, it's actually amazing they thought an anime about a boy kissing girls would be popular nowadays when this is an immediately turn off to their audience
>>4525189>the real multimedia project made for waifus by the same studio [...] wasn't the expected successBecause of disastrous marketing research. They went all in on a genre with an already oversaturated market.>they keep forcing this false and dishonest narrative"They", in this case, being the writer and director of the series. And Chisato's VA if I recall. Remains to be seen if they heard what the audience wants
>>4525195Why do you keep lying for almost 4 years? Why after all this time do you refuse to see that no one falls for your shit? What keeps you going for all this time?
>>4525195>writer and director of the series. And Chisato's VAWhat did they do? Do you have actual quotes?
>>4525194People still live in the era where garbage like Index was "relevant", but with EK I was referring more to the basic archetypes of harem het series, especially the character designs and personalities.
>>4524922>>4524926>the staff's favorite scenes were Mako and Kurea calling each other by their first name in episode 7, and the very last scene in episode 12This per the official fanbook.
>>4525195>> They went all in on a genre with an already oversaturated market.Even though it's oversaturated, this series deliberately appeals to the baser instincts of Waifufags (I mean, it has a nun and a younger sister for fanservice).>>"They", in this case, being the writer and director of the series.Stop spreading misinformation. I'm one of those people who mostly ignores statements or interviews and enjoys the real series. That real series has just as much het as Frame Arm Girls.>>And Chisato's VA if I recall.If you consider her roles, she's not the smartest girl in the world. In addition, many voice actors don't have a clue about their series or characters. For example, Kirino's voice actor from Oreimo didn't have a clue about her character.So drop your false narrative. LR is not a Het series, and the Yaoi that was also used to attack LR ended with one of the men killing the other.
>>4525202This was truly a magical series; the subtlety of Mako and Kurea's relationship is something rarely seen, even from the first episode. in addition to having (an even more) sexy Bocchi.
New Omae Gotoki was released and it was much better than episode 4. It also changed some things like introducing a character, making the guy that Flum killed not guilty of murder and the scenes between Flum and Milkit were the best part of the episode.
>>4525211I hope the anime inspires somebody to translate the extra content.
>>4525225I hope that the anime could give Kiki the chance to publish the extra content about Cyrill as a one volume spin-off.
I'm not sure if the anime will inspire anyone to do anything other than gouge out their own eyeballs.
>>4525229No problem Ink can give them some extra eyeballs just don't let them touch you
>>4525229It IS bad, but it's not that far. It's a typical low quality production. I've seen worse. Like the incomplete version of Magia Record's TV airing. SHAFT TV releases can be truly disastrousOr any action sequence in any recent show directed by Shin Itagaki Or this cliphttps://youtu.be/UhmBnaEcbfAOmae Gotoki anime is far from good, but it doesn't reach "gouge out my own eyeballs" level just yet. Shit can get so much more broken. It's just the broken shows tend to be het, so people here can avoid them. I'd still say this is better than most of Hikikomari. It's consistent in it's low quality. Meanwhile, Hikikomari had some good moments, but also truly awful shit. It was inconsistent as hell and kept breaking further as it reached the end
>>4525229>>4525240I dont know about anyone gouging out their eyesBut as a boomer that has been around longer than I like to admit, I really cant think of another anime that has a worse OP than Omae. At least not at the moment.
>seeing bits of some Oscar Wild biopic>google the (male) characters involved on wikipedia>two hyperlinks down, I end up with 5-6 belle epoque/early 20th century lesbian artists/writersthat was unexpected
>>4525229>>4525240Roll Over and Die's problems are not in the animation or visuals, those are serviceable, even if the CG spirals look like shit.
>>4525242Her hairstyle reminds me of Marsha's. Was that a common thing for lesbians in that era?
>>4525241I can think of many since OP/ED are my specialty and passion (yes, I love them). There are several more that, in terms of animation, are pure garbage, like Fractale, Hourou Musuko, that stupid School Days spin-off and the School Days OP itself, the first 3 of Marimite, Zombie Loan, and I could go on all day. Especially if I look at my entire anime list, this season has the Death Games anime, and honestly, several in this season are mediocre and forgettable as well. The Omae OP is just boring.
>>4525245I think they mostly wore whatever was in fashion then.
And around that time, the short haircut statements started.
>>4525229I'm getting tired of people stupidly complaining about an anime that looks decent and is yuri, but het garbage (even yaoi) can look like absolute crap and be considered a masterpiece (Konosuba, anyone?)
>>4525251>boringI think they tried to do what Shokei Shoujo did spoiling later volumes but it was impossible to do anything like that besides adding zombies to the OP.
>>4525257I understand the idea, but more than anything it's annoying and unpleasant to watch, it feels like it's really edgy without any irony. Shokei Shoujo had a decent balance, nothing spectacular but it conveyed what the anime was about well.
>>4525263>really edgy without any irony.That's volume 3 a stupid but fun gorefest.
Not sure what you guys are talking about, last episode was pretty good and pretty gay, I am planning on reading the novels now.
>>4525256For some people here yuri animation now has to have a super production or it doesn't count and you should forget it ever existed
>>4525270The problem is that it's not just anime; you have games and/or gacha games, even manga and light novels. If none of these reach the popularity, budget, or profits of well-known (non-yuri) franchises, it's a piece of crap and a complete failure. When something yuri gains recognition, it's for some other, non-yuri reason.
>>4525274Right, the "Mahoako is just ecchi" posters.
>>4525211Shitsage still sticking to his "exposition snuck into every line" style, kek.But yeah, so far it looks interesting (different from the manga, huh). The way Milkit opens the door and then we learn it was not to them eas a good touch, but needed a bit better handling (score helping to set the mood? Better cut? Dunno.)
>>4525276>different from the mangaAnd closer to the LN, almost like I don't even know why they introduced the sister of the rich guy, I'm lying but I just hope that she isn't there only to be a exposition machine.
>>4525278the rich guy and the convenient "oh here's a mansion" (that looked extremely lot like a modern McMansion) was one of the worse parts of the manga, straight out of the isekai wishfullfilment shopping listWould be more stylish if the girls had to wander around like adventuring hoboes a bit more. Perpetual poverty trope was an anime staple 20 years ago. I guess that is not in fashion today though.
Amazon's store page for the Sasakoi manga claims that it inspired the "hit anime". The only thing that show hits is your brain cells.
>>4525279He just gave them a shitty house in one of the poorest places in town, he actually wanted to give them a place in the rich's people, but Flum knew she and Milkit would never be accepted there
>>4525280The second version of the anime that aired recently was much better
>>4525281>I want "a place to use as a base".FFS, why not let her say "a place to live/stay" like a normal person. Games and litrpg truly corrupted everyone's mind.
>>4525279Flum has the skills to earn a middle class income thanks to her stats so it was a better way than just show us some useless "monster of the week" BS and that other anon is right, Flum got the equivalent of a nice house on a bad neighbourhood.
>>4525283Because that's what she wanted. Flum most likely expected something like a warehouse.
>>4525280To be fair, I could see people who really liked this series overall. Maybe the anime was more of a way to get to know the original, but it wasn't really offensively bad, just the result of production greed that chewed up more than it could swallow.
>>4525254>In 1899, after seeing the courtesan Liane de Pougy at a dance hall in Paris, Barney presented herself at de Pougy's residence in a page costume and announced she was a "page of love" sent by Sappho>Vivien saw Barney as a muse and as Barney put it, "she had found new inspiration through me, almost without knowing me". Barney felt Vivien had cast her as a femme fatale and that she wanted "to lose herself ... entirely in suffering" for the sake of her art.[41] Vivien also believed in monogamy, which Barney was unwilling to agree to. While Barney was visiting her family in Washington, D.C. in 1901, Vivien stopped answering her letters. Barney tried to get her back for years, at one point persuading a friend, operatic mezzo-soprano Emma Calvé, to sing under Vivien's window so she could throw a poem (wrapped around a bouquet of flowers) up to Vivien on her balcony. Both flowers and poem were intercepted and returned by a governess.Hah, Natalie Clifford Barney sure was a character.

Guys I'm depressed. Kaguya is so high quality I'm not sure we will get another yuri in the decade as good as this one.

I wish everything's lesbianI'm tired of seeing random het side couples in an otherwise safe /u/ story or game. Ooooh you need me to do a fetch quest so you can make a potion for a GUY? Fuck you bitch.
>>4525814Some people say this is "realistic", others will pretend that the mere existence of a man is a Het series, then you have when the opposite happens, there are only women and you have idiots saying that's a "waifufag fantasy"
>>4525831Some people really have a hard time understanding everyone is a girl from kirara manga is meant to be a joke and most accusations of "everyone is a girl" doesn't really apply to even most kirara stories and most yuri manga where this is true have a very limited total cast of characters where background characters barely show up and it makes perfect sense guys wouldn't randomly show up. I have seen a japanese mentally ill failed yuri author literally crying yuri she writes men into her manga because she doesn't bisexual women like her to be erased. So yeah you have people who will always take what is meant to be a fictional word with the objective of pushing a story narrative as a reflection or projection of their own issues, be it wanting more men or wanting less (or no) men.In that regards it would be funny if mangaplus witch manga turned to be yuri all along because the author literally keeps adding handsome men and making the whole arc be about them and not the girls and I can't even say it's het like anon above because I am pretty sure the last arc has some BL undertones.
>>4525814>wish everything's lesbianYes, that is obviously ideal, but like >>4525831says, a lot of people had it ingrained in their brains that "realistic" equals "good", even though it's merely one of infinite ways to write fiction, and not a particularly creative one at that.There was a recent yuri VN release where the author literally said something like:>I was bothered by boys often not being included in yuri, which is why I decided to make yuri myself in order to put them in itNeedless to say, a boy was part of a love triangle with the two main girls.It's the same narrow-mindedness that for example leads people to think that happy endings are shallow while bittersweet endings are deep, or pure girls are wishful thinking and only sluts are believable, etc...And let's not even get started on the fixation on politics and minorities that makes stories about being lesbian, rather than about lesbians.Thankfully in niche japanese works these trends aren't nearly as prevalent these days, but the more mainstream and western you go, the more they rear their ugly heads.
>>4525831>>4525835No het is not the same as no m*les The important thing is no het shoved in the audience face
>>4525844You underestimate the stupidity of the hetfags, they see Het even if they have to make it up.
>>4525832>a japanese mentally ill failed yuri author literally crying yuri she writes men into her manga because she doesn't bisexual women like her to be erasedWho's that?
>>4525847Not saying because I don't want to feed shitposting.
>>4525848Maybe it's for the best.
>>4525848Fine but I'll say this. Bisluts aren't erased they're just unpopular among most yuri fans for obvious reasons. They should just be mature and understand it.
>>4525848Liar
>>4525854I of course agree, but the author made an image with alphabet letters on it, so it's not surprising she also believes some common bullshit those types say everywhere.
>>4525854>Bisluts aren't erasedThey should be
>>4525831>there are only women and you have idiots saying that's a "waifufag fantasy"One thing I've learned over the years is that /u/ will complain about literally anything, there has never been a yuri work that at least one person on here hasn't trashed as 'actually het', 'bad quality', or both
>>4525874>/u/ will complain about literally anythingWe will also complain about this fact too.
>>4525874Most of my trashing is targeted towards westernshit which are usually both bad and hetshit.
How often do /u/ reread manga? I've spent the last month looking through and reading oneshots, anthologies, complete serializations, or whatever I can find that I have fond memories of. When I think about how small of a dent I made in the amount of yuri I've read versus what I've re-read, it makes me happy knowing there is effectively an endless supply of yuri already in existence for me to experience.
>>4525901i reread yuri very often, usually when procrastinating on finishing my anime backlog. Something about manga makes it a lot easier to just jump in and read a chapter or two.probably reread girlfriends, still sick, ebisu-san, salomelic, Watashi no Taisetsu na Tomodachi, hana to hoshi, yuripop, and a few others at least like 10 times each. Dont reread longer series much however
>>4525901If you exclude one shots then almost never, precisely because of>When I think about how small of a dent I made in the amount of yuri I've read versus what I've re-readIt feels like I'm missing out by spending my limited time and attention span on works I've already read instead of exploring something new.I generally dislike binging so reading a whole manga is a lengthy process for me, but I get that if you cram it all together you could probably finish a shorter manga in a single afternoon.
>>4525901fairly often. i keep everything i've enjoyed on disk/komga so got easy access. the collection has grown quite a bit over the years and if internet dies i'll be good for a long time. i enjoy re-experiencing things in general, since i know whatever it is will be good, and my memory is far from perfect
>>4525901I rarely re-read manga, and when I do it's usually 4+ years since the last time I read it.
>>4525901I like revisiting what I once loved, but I used to do that more when I was younger. These days I'm like the last anon and tend to wait a few years before doing so.
I don't want to watch kaguya. The span of one whole movie is too short. Fanarts would probably stop in like 2 months, I can't take that.
>>4525968Same. I'll end up watching it towards next Christmas maybe when I've dealt with all my projects this year. Can't have post-yuri depression at all right now.
>>4525968>>4525972This isn't a "waifu of the month" thing; this can be perfectly sustained and consistent, like 10 or 20 years of semi-constant art. Something like Wixoss maintained a decent weekly art pace after the end of Season 2, until Lostorage killed interest, and Diva did nothing to revive it (despite being a superior series to Lostorage).
>>4526130Reviving a dead franchise, either one that died naturally or was killed, is near impossible.>Diva did nothing to revive it (despite being a superior series to Lostorage).Not like it was a high bar to clear.As for Kaguya, the best thing they can do is expand the story in the manga. Not advancing the story, but deepening the relationship between Iroha and Kaguya and more scenes about their daily lives.Do NOT make a sequel. That only increases the chances of them screwing it up.
>>4526131Lostorage was good.
>>4526131The problem is that with Lostorage, Wixoss was still relevant at that time, so at that point it wasn't about reviving something dead, but continuing with something that had a certain popularity. But it did such a bad job, adding men to the mix (unnecessarily) and then not only that, but in Season 2 adding old characters just to completely destroy what was established in the second season of the first series. It felt just like Digimon Tri pretending that 02 didn't exist. The difference is that Wixoss Season 2 was literally the best and most yuri season.>>KaguyaMaintaining official materials that only add things that matter is the best way to continue a series like this. GUP has stayed alive with the worst possible format for movies and with manga series that most people forget even exist, and even publishing character charts has more impact. I don't see how Kaguya can die if it does things better.>>4526132Ok hetfag.
>>4526139"hetfag" is the worst possible insult to use against a Lostoragefag if you're defending SelectorDo I need to remind you of one of the girls wanting to fuck her male twin?. Wixoss always had het even before males were made into players.
>>4526141NTA but nobody gave a fuck about the waifubait character. Iona and Akira were the second and third more important character for Selector. Lostorage tried so hard to be more edgy than Selector that it ended as cringe instead of fun, the het around the main couple and the dumb GB possession (female to male) were a consequence of that shitty decision
>>4526141Yes, but that wasn't so important and only dragged in two characters at the worst point; the rest was girl stuff and between girls. Lostorage, on the other hand, not only adds men for bad reasons (don't defend the "male villain"—he would have been better as a woman, which is what the Lrig who used that body was), but also ruined the joke of "doing it," applied it to a straight option, and rubbed it in until it stopped being funny. Besides that, there were more straight things, including a reminder that nobody wanted to remember: the straight incest bit. Because, not content with screwing up, they had to screw up even more.Furthermore, the worst part was that the series completely ignored Yuki (although the movie had already raised red flags), giving her a shameful cameo, pretending that Tama was important or even a good character (which she wasn't). Then, in the end, all those imaginary Lrigs got human bodies, all except Yuki. When I talked about constant weekly art, I meant Ruu x Yuki, which almost completely stopped, with some random person uploading something every two or three years. But the art now consists of official card art, hentai, or AI.
>>4526142The fact that DIVA doesn't even address Het in any way, and the only romance that exists is yuri, should make it clear that they didn't want to repeat the same mistake. The problem was perhaps the radical change in tone to more of an action and comedy series, but it was still weak in the yuri aspect. If there had been a little more effort with the main trio, things could have been better.Regarding Kaguya, we are ignoring the best way to maintain this series without putting in much real effort: turning the movie into an anime of about 12 episodes, adding more scenes and even songs.
>>4525968>>4525972It is a beautiful story that I can't imagine not wanting to carry through my life for as long as humanly possible. I wouldn't be able to stand knowing I could have experienced it but chose not to. Watching it motivated me to start re-learning piano after letting my interest fade, it forced me to flex my artist muscles more because the imagery of the movie was so striking that I wanted to be able to bring that to life in other ways. I think about what I want to do with my time more earnestly because the passion of those who made this movie made me realize how possible realizing a dream can be. Sure, any other good story may bring you joy and drive you to do something by lighting a fire under you. But if you are here you already love yuri, and this movie's love for yuri amplifies the effect 1000 fold. I've never rewatched something this many times in a short period in my entire life, and I have so many things I considered my all-time favorites which stood with me for over a decade that are starting to pale in comparison. I don't feel empty or depressed after watching it. I feel a lasting excitement for the first time in ages.
>>4526148My case was sadder and more depressing. I carved out a space in my evening schedule (watching it during the day would have been impossible). I enjoyed the movie and everything, but the problem was that, as if by the devil's design, on a cursed Sunday, they brought a pretty big job to do (marking 740 backpacks and 500 duffel bags), and then the next day they brought 500 double-sided ponchos, one side of which was two-toned... So what could have been an experience that could have given me at least a week of warm memories, vanished completely. In the end, all I was left with was a throat infection that lasted a week.I'm going to try watching the movie again during Easter week, to see if this time I have a better personal experience and not just anger (that's why I get extra angry when someone says the movie isn't yuri or good).
>>4525901Pretty often tbf, whenever I feel like I'm going to burn out or am getting a little bored or disinterested with the stuff I'm reading, I reread a series I like. Have reread Ayakashiko 3-4 times last year and this year combined, Landlord one twice last year. I also end up rereading stuff when I'm bored at work
>>4526152Yuri is my lighthouse in the dark. I hope it helps you find your way back to the shores of the yuri swamp.
>>4526162yuri did it or always does it, it just made me angry that it ruined the experience for me.
>>4526142>>4526144Doesn't change hetfag also applies to SelectorfagsJust admit you were wrong and use any other insult instead of writing long nonsense copes. Selectortards are as hetfag as Lostoragetard. If you want to play the game, follow your own rulesYou don't get to conveniently declare het irrelevant in shows you like and only relevant in shows you dislike
>Chisato just talking to Majima in Lycoris while never showing romantic interest and showing she's tired of his shit by the finale: >Heeeeeeeeet >Yuzuki wanting to fuck her male twin for the whole show: >Show is still yuri and not het because I conveniently declare this main girl irrelevantKill yourselves, retards. Selector Wixoss is far more het than Lycoris. Stop overrating it because you like it for other reasons that aren't yuri and hate Lostorage. Diva is the only acceptable Wixoss by the standards given here>but Ruko and YukiSubext shit that doesn't make up for the het. I'll take subtext with no het subplots over subtext with het subplots.
>>4526170No, because Selector only has incest as one of the characters' themes and it's not that relevant at the end of the day, just a silly girl with silly tastes caught in a stupid love triangle, because it turned out that Lrig was in love with both siblings.The yuri options are still present and very important, as they apply to the vast majority of the characters, especially the aforementioned Ruu and Yuki who are the cheesiest crap that could exist, they use any silly romantic cliché.You can't lump Lostorage in with Selector, especially with the aforementioned numerous male characters that nobody asked for and don't work. The main yuri pairing, which is supposed to be the most important part of this, is sidelined by a delayed grudge and a het option that gets progressively more stupid as time goes on. Even when the guy loses his body, nothing really improves (even with a girl inside). Then you have the destruction of the conclusions that had been resolved; now everything is destroyed because Akira is just a bad joke, and what happened at the end of Selector apparently doesn't matter to anyone. All the build-up with Yuki at the end of that series is also worthless because Season 2 apparently doesn't exist.Not to mention how the series ends by reminding us that the stupid kid playing soccer is super important and we have to endure the incest that nobody wanted, because it comes out of their asses, if this season really tried to push Het while making the minimum effort with the yuri that barely mattered to the staff.
>>4526182Another cope rant from hypocrite hetfagStop trying to cover your ass. Admit you're wrong
>>4526178>>Selector Wixoss is far more het than Lycoris.Nobody mentioned Lycoris at any point, stop bringing things up just to get the attention of stupid people, especially those idiots who still believe in a non-existent Het, because I can mention Healin' Good PreCure and it's the same mental retardation on the part of the Hetfags.>>Subext shit that doesn't make up for the het. I'll take subtext with no het subplots over subtext with het subplots.Ruu and Yuki are literally the central point of S2; if Tama is considered an inferior option, it's S2's fault for delivering a genuinely good couple where, as stupid as it sounds, love wins in the end (no, I'm not kidding).The problem I see being ignored is that the incest plot isn't just not alluded to, it's that it's never really concluded, because the siblings never become a couple and Bislut just disappears from their lives.
The worst thing about "standardsfags" is that they demand others get standards while they clearly don't follow any standards consistently and constantly make exceptions. Their standards are arbitrary and nonsensical. Why should I listen to them?
>>4526188Don't use slang you don't know the meaning of, because by that same logic why not call the fans of the only good thing Mai-hime has (the yuri couple) "hetfags" because there we are talking about 4 to 5 Het couples versus 1 yuri couple and only with the possibility of a second one.Also, stop ignoring the fact that Lostorage killed the interest in the series for many people, especially those who bothered to make art of something they liked. But Lostorage is so bad (not just the het, but that does play a part) that it really leaves a very bad taste in your mouth, and the fact that DIVA is almost the complete opposite of Lostorage should make it clear that this isn't just one person's exaggeration.
>>4526189They never become a couple but they don't show her dropping him like Sayaka in Madoka dropped the violintardThus, I can assume she's still het and into her brother. They just chickened out of a conclusion for the same reason Eromanga and every other incest thing goes for NBR: Execs will never let BR incest be confirmed. You can write the plotline as long as it's not endgame and you don't confirm itSimply: what Selector did is as far as they were allowed to go with BR incest. Selector is het. Your shitty subtext ship is irrelevant. Follow your own rules. Selector is as het as Lostorage and you can't change that fact. Hetfag
>>4526192Yes. Mai-HiME fans are hetfags. Mai-HiME is het. Shiznat doesn't change shit. Horizon also has a yuri couple. Should we call it a yuri show despite het being the focus and most characters being het?You can like a yuri pairing in a het show but the show is still het and defending the show as a whole still makes you a hetfag>nonsense about Lostorage killing interestIrrelevant to the fact Selector is overrated and as het as Lostorage. You want to act like you're this expert but you're just a biased retard who got exposed for double standards
>>4526178>>4526170Selector had Akira and Iona/Ulith as the only real couple in the anime, I know Ulith was using Akira but Akira's feelings were real.
>>4526199Nope. Still shitty subtext vs maintext het incest that didn't go further becaiuse of the same regulations that forced an author of BR incest (OreImo) to go NBR (Eromanga) and has all incest endgame in non-hentai anime and manga be NBR
>>4526194>>4526198Okay, you guys are just babbling now, no debate will make any sense, nor will there be any argument, since it will just be the typical crap of "who is right" when the answer was already given years ago.Think what you want, reality isn't going to change the fact that Selector is a good anime and Lostorage is a piece of shit.
>>4526204They're both too het and thus "hetfag" is the last insult a Selectorfag should use against a LostoragefagJust call the lostoragefag a retard with shit taste or whatever instead of dragging het into it and exposing double standards
>>4526205
>>4526178>Chisato just talking to Majima in LycorisIn her room in a scene obviously framed as romantic. And that's not mentioning the infamous soda can sharing scene.
>>4526207See? This is a real hetfag.
>>4526206>het incest is OK if "good writing" Not in this board, hetfag. Your "good show" is as het (and thus bad and unwelcome here) as the "piece of shit".. Cope, seethe and kill yourself. Or next time, compare both without dragging het into it.There was no reason to bring up a shitty dead franchise (Wixoss) to motivate people to watch Kaguya, anyways.
>>4526204>Selector is a good animeThe het twincest bitch proves otherwise. They're both shit. Diva was the only good Wixoss series
>>4526202>Akira/Ulith>subtext
>>4526207And? Her motivation is never explicitly fo fuck himWixoss spends a lot of time making clear Yuzuki wants to fuck her brother If you want to claim Lyco is het, you have to do so with Selector as well. You want to have standards? Show me they're consistent and commit to them. Otherwise you're just a retard and your argument is nonsense
>>4526190>and constantly make exceptions.Such as?
>>4526213But Selector IS het. I would never say it isn't.
>>4526212Yes. You don't want it to be maintext anywaysLook the only explcit lesbians are the crazy evil girls, meanwhile our heroes are superfriends and het incest. Het shows having psycho lesbian villains is not new and is an insult to yuri (look at how evil yuri is compared to heroic het). You're just making Selector look worse if you want to push the evil crazy bitches as your yuri representation
>>4526216Thus you agree that a Selectorfag going "hetfag" to a Lostoragefag is retarded and hypocritical. Good
Kaguya writers knew relevant males in yuri should not only be supportive family members but also confirmed gay.
>>4526215Selector Wixoss in this case.
>>4526209>> dead franchise (Wixoss) What are you talking about? Just because anime is dead doesn't mean the card game is (like Yu-Gi-Oh!).
>>4526217>crazy evil girlsEveryone, with the exception of the MC and the human loli, was a crazy evil girl in Selector that's why it was so fun and that's why nobody cares about the incest freak or about the human loli.
>>4526218Indeed. I would also say that Selector and Lostorage are both shit, and I think you'd agree on this.
>>4526219You can never be too careful with stupid people. It's funny that people think the parallel universe thing with Bang Dream and Argonavis was "waifufag" when that wasn't the case, and for those people to say that Bang Dream is an idol makes it even worse and funnier.
>>4526223Whatever you say, now go to sleep because tomorrow you have to get up early for school for special needs children.
>>4526219The Show By Rock franchise had the best males in yuri a show could have.
>>4526222There's a difference between crazy for melodrama and crazy evil. Even if "everyone was crazy", Uika and Akira were still on the evil side
>>4526226Which is Selector or Lostorage would you say are good? The one featuring het incest characters, or the one featuring the same het incest characters?
>>4526222You're right, but reaching that conclusion would require watching the entire series, since it's hilarious that I only read backward arguments, but also such great ignorance as someone complaining about the post-season 1 seasons in a long-running franchise like Digimon or Power Rangers (without having seen those seasons).
>>4526229Did you drink the thermometer again?
>>4526228Uika maybe but Akira wasn't like that in Selector's epilogue and that's another reason to dislike Lostorage because they took Akira and made her a cartoony villain.
>>4526231No, I'm pretty sure both series had the het incest characters. Which of the two series would you say is good, let alone yuri?
>>4526232Exactly, that was also annoying. It was clear that Akira had moved on from that; she was even seen working alongside Iona as a model. People tend to forget that Iona was supposed to be an important model. Her being with Akira was the perfect conclusion for both characters.
>>4526233Seriously speaking, Selector only has one unfinished incest plot that also involves a girl in love with the two of them.Lostorage, on the other hand, features a boy who plays soccer and is in love with one of the main characters, and the series never fails to rub that in your face every chance it gets. In the end, they forget the boy even exists and is "important," on top of having to endure character assassination in its purest form and, of course, women in men's bodies pretending to be men. The brother makes a cameo at the end, because it couldn't get any worse otherwise.If you haven't seen all 4 (5?) seasons, you'll never understand anything.
>>4526207>obviously framed as romanticLiar liar pants on fire
>>4526237>have to watch each and every episode of shit to know it's shit
>>4526241NTA but you can do a yuri-friendly version for Selector like the one that was made for Mai Hime/Otome but it would be harder to do it for Lostorage because the hetshit there it's too important for the main plot.
>>4526242Basically this, besides destroying established characters (Digimon Hunter Tachi was a bad series, but it didn't destroy the past protagonists)
>>4526242>yuri friendly [...] Mai Hime/OtomeUsing the yuri footage of both series would result in, what, 10 minutes total for both series at best?
Besides Kaguya and Omagoto, what series are worth watching this season?
>>4526232>>4526235Because it was the only value Akira had. She wasn't a good character at all. So I can understand not giving a fuck about her moving on from her insanity when her insane phase is far more entertaining>>4526237So, Lostorage is better because the het is eventually irrelevant. Meanwhile the het is relevant in Selector all the way to the end and is only unfinished because the industry decided BR incest is only allowed in hentai. But otherwise they don't show Yuzuki moving on like Sayaka did in MadokaGirl who isn't in love with boy (Lostorage)>Girl who is explicitly in love with boy (Selector). I'm only using your own arguments here because you don't realize you painted Lostorage in a better light than Selector. Both are hetshit, though
>>4526247Some people decided they would be yuri revisionists and so you end with weird claims like this, they will even dismiss the canon heterosexual relationships in the series and claim there is yuri subtext because the characters are portrayed in different ways in other media.
>>4526244>>4526242Delusional. Truth is you're ret/a/rds who want to spread taste agenda from /a/ (Selector>Lostorage) but don't know how to argue it, forgot about the het in Selector and now are desperately trying to push the false idea Selector had no het and Lostorage did, when the truth is both had het. Hetfag applies to fan of both. Using the word "hetfag" for the lostoragefag was your undoing that exposed your hypocrisy and double standards
>>4526248The Android hentai shorts. These 3 are the only yuri this season
>>4526248Android and maybe Shiboyugi but Idk because it was too edgy and cringe to me.>the only value Akira hadAkira had the potential to replace the incest whore as a potential ally to the new MCs but they needed to make Lostorage more edgy than selector so they ruined Akira as a character instead.
>>4526249>>4526254The second part was meant for this post
>>4526252Yes, yes, yes, whatever you say, now go to sleep, the adults are talking It's funny how back when all the Wixoss anime was airing, there were never such outdated discussions, and yes, Lostorage was almost universally hated at the time, except by Mugino (of course). Is this another wave of post-2018 newfags?
Not any of you, but Selector is just Mari Okada writing degenerate characters, any yuri coming out of it would never be genuine and just a piece to be destroyed later.
>>4526254That would make her boring. No one would give a fuck about bland sane Akira. Akira became popular for how entertaining her insanity is. Lostorage writers simply recognized this. Of all the mistakes Lostorage did, this wasn't one of them. That was a Selector mistake. Akira spent so much time being an entertaining crazy bitch character that her being sane only works as epilogue shit. But as an active character: people are only attached to her insanity>Selectortard saying Shiboyugi is edgy and cringeSelector is far more edgy and cringe than Shiboyugi.Selector is very overrated. That said: Shiboyugi doesn't have much yuri. No het as there are no males on screen, but not yuri either
>>4526259Well, the movie made this clear to me, especially her pretending that that stupid glorified pet Tama was important (I curse the official art book). Yuu and Yuki was so cute, in every way, that you can't blame me for getting overly emotional, but clearly Okada didn't give a damn about those two.Can we hate Okada but not Wixoss? (M3 sucks, by the way)
>>4526259She gave us the BRS anime so I doubt that, she can say whatever she wants but actions talk louder than words.>>4526260>No ond would give a fuck about bland sane AkiraI didn't say that I wanted a "bland and sane Akira" she had the potential to be a anti-heroine but well it didn't happen and I don't want to write a fucking Lostorage fanfic just for that.
>>4526261>>4526262My point is not to shit on Okada but to say the premise of Selector was tainted to start with and not having any actual yuri development was probably for the best.
BREAKING: local sea monster community worries about lack of suicidal girlsSea monsters, a staple in most touristic locations near the sea, have recently raised the alarm about their main source of nutrition, suicidal girls, being in extremely low supply. As of the writing of this article, the government and sea monster dignitaries are searching for solutions, which include putting all the seasonal anime yuri hits in Winter, leaving the rest of 2026 empty of noteworthy series to watch.
This might be the best oneshot I read in a long time and there have been many good ones.https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/the_watcher_and_the_watched
Rumor is that sea monsters make great food for local wildlife like foxes.
They Change the check kiss by a boob in facegood or bad?
Anyone remember a yuri manga from about 5 years ago where the MC had a girlfriend and it involved mind reading? Not the subtext series with a similar premise. Can't seem to find it and dynasty tags didn't have it listed so it probably isn't even on that site. Not sure how else to search for it.
Just how fucking desperate is 4chan for people to buy their shitty pass? These captchas are actual cancer and they want me to solve 3 for every single post I make. The stupid "which one is not like the others?" one regularly gives me shapes with literally no differences now so I have to retry 5 times and just get lucky.Do they want people to post less or some shit?
>>4526360They actually are desperate because bots got much worse and a lot of them are being used to spam nonstop and are fucking the servers and creating other issues since some of them are spamming content that legally they have to report to law enforcement.
>>4526362Captchas like this are literally used to TRAIN bots though. This is just self-defeating. Meanwhile actual humans have less and less ways to actually solve this shit because we can't anaylze every pixel or want to to make a single random post about some yuri manga we like. This will absolutely kill human traffic.
>>4526360It depends from where you're posting. Mobile seems to require only 1 easy captcha. Desktop gets less cancerous if you use the 4chanX script that makes all options appear side by side without scrolling.But in both cases you have to post for a while (over a week without deleting cookies) in order to make their number go down.
>>4526366I don't disagree, but at this point the site will either go down because the servers can't handle the bots or because bots are spamming content that could get the site down and of course you also have users like "you know who" that manages to easily bypass bans and will spam threads with schizophrenia. >>4526349I presume you don't mean mute girl or Hoshitele, maybe Kanojyo to Himitsu to Koimoyou?
>>4526382>Kanojyo to Himitsu to KoimoyouThat's it! Thanks so much anon. That explain why I couldn't find it. It wasn't on dynasty and there's no supernatural tag on dex. I'm going to read it right away.

>>4526538>Obvious bislut pride colorsCan't unsee it, image ruined.
Can someone explain what is up with that Bakushin armpit licking gif?
>>4526638It's a gif that went viral and became a meme. What else is there to understand?
>>4526638The what?
>>4525901Prism I always reread that
>>4525968God damn fans don't know how to keep anything alive now, it's always consume and move on. Back in the day people kept yuri ships alive on a lot less.
>>4525933Nice choices. I got a hit of nostalgia just looking the titles. Been far too long since I read those so I'll need to reread them all soon.>>4526524I was just thinking I should start sougou tovarisch too. I wish the author got the chance to restart it again as planned but I'm happy what we got is so good. Tsurezure biyori was like a godly author descended to bestow just one singular precious gem to humanity.
Choose your fighter.

>>4526811>Tsurezure biyoriWhat happened to the author? Just disappeared...
>>4526903Miyazawa of course
>>4526903Hitoma Iruma
>>4526903Meh it doesn't matter either way.Instead it's curious that Miyazawa still feels Liz to aoi is yuri when the fucking author went out of her way to say she never meant it to be. I swear to Madoka I really hate that woman! I used to love the movie and she ruined it. What a turd of a person.
>>4526903Teren is correct
>>4526930After all, he's a writer with a university education, not some anonymous moron from the internet, so he understands how little significance the author's opinion about their own work has when expressed outside of the work itself.
>>4526638Crazy how I'm seeing so many attempts at doing the meme with different characters and different ways, but none can match the originalTruly a masterpiece
>>4526903No idea what this says but i see urasekai picnic mentioned
>>4526638Post it.
>>4526932You can be pretty sure Miyazawa as an author would respect other author's wishes instead of being forever butthurt about the correct and factual interpretation of a work like you.
>>4526851Are those scratch marks on her hand?
>>4526940If I'm butthurt about anything, it's not about the opinions of Takeda, Yamada, whoever, which are no more valuable than mine or yours (since they are expressed outside of their works, in which they are truly gods and have the word of God), but about those who perceive their opinions as indisputable truth simply because they match their own.
>>4526944It wasn't even my opinion about Liz at the time, but I won't fight back against the people who made the work outright stating that interpretation of mine was objectively wrong.
>>4526931True. Renako is Teren, Teren is Renako and Renako did nothing wrong.
>If you are aiming for commercial success, target a larger audience. There is no particular need to cater specifically to the relatively small number of yuri fans, anyway, they are chronically starved and will eat anything where girls kiss, then ask for seconds.Cynical, but honest.
>Scrapfag setting because he said scrapfags are unreliable yuri consumers.
>>4526952*seething but setting actually works too
>>4526903>>4526949>>4526951link to any of this?
>>4526954https://news.denfaminicogamer.jp/game-gene/260210w
Teren-sensei seems very wise and knowledgeableAlso he seems to have a pretty impressive social network and life
>Watanare discussion yikes. worse than marimite discussion
>>4526951>[yuri fans] are chronically starved and will eat anything where girls kiss, then ask for seconds.Blatantly false. Standards must be maintained and gates kept. Yuri fans won't watch a series where girls kiss for the benefit of the male MC, or in a het haremshit series.
>>4526962You're speaking from your point of view, the problem is that there are people who accept that fanservice garbage, not so much as a yuri fan, but as a bunch of perverts who pretend that something like Eupho is yuri and it's something that can be seen, Eupho is the American Pie of "yuri".
>>4526951>>If you are aiming for commercial success, target a larger audience.The problem is that this is a basic principle of a successful business. For cases where this doesn't apply, other tactics are needed, but those tactics have to be good and effective, not catering to a niche that doesn't exist or isn't willing to give money for nothing.
>>4526962Standards must be maintained, gates must be kept, but the barrier can be lowered a little if the need is great.
>>4526968>the barrier can be lowered a little if the need is great.No. Not now, not ever. Starvation is preferable to letting the poison in.
>>4526930The movie Liz falls into the same category as the Mr. Bean movie; it has no real reason to exist.Leaving aside whether Liz is considered yuri by someone, there's a point where she talks about the contrast between identifying with the characters and seeing them as if they were in a cage or on display. It makes sense; that's the message of the film anyway: a person's desire for happiness is irrelevant compared to what others think or want from that person.
>>4526951>relatively small number of yuri fansyuri is popular though, more grifters are switching over to yuri than ever before
>>4526943Blush lines
>>4526962Newfag trying way too hard to fit in.
>>4526976>one scene in 24+ episodes of hetYou sound like the kind of person that would recommend Mai Hime as a yuri series too.
>>4526977It's not just one scene, it's several scenes and moments of a yuri couple without external interference and the drama they present is related to them as a couple; they are simply another couple in a series already full of several couples (there are more yuri couples).These two are used as a reference for the term gachi-yuri, by the way.
>>4526951That's not what he said, his words were that you can use other things from other genres to make your yuri novel appealing enough to the consumers of those other genres, but this only works for novels because usually people tend to read the entire novel so you can show the yuri later in the novel. Outside of novels we have the disaster that was Sylph with their shonen-like pacing that became boring to yuri fans because yuri manga tend to be a much faster pacing (that's other reason as to why yuri serializations tend to be so short, Kanoko's Namek aside) and I really doubt this could work with anime, maybe with a movie but not with a 20+ episodes show.
>>4526989Regarding the length of the yuri series, would Citrus be a good example of what not to do with a series? I mean, making a manga that's essentially an interquel to something that's already finished doesn't make much sense, especially when it doesn't contribute anything new and seems to exist solely to squeeze money out of something that's already ended.>>but this only works for novels because usually people tend to read the entire novel so you can show the yuri later in the novel.Does this apply to novels as such, or also to light novels? The real difference may be minimal, but it must be admitted that a novel can cover more content in less time than a manga or anime, although in contrast, anime is the medium that has the easiest distribution and reach.
>>4526994>would Citrus be a good example of what not to do with a series?If you're talking about Citrus plus, yes but from a commercial point of view Citrus plus it's a excelent product because it's the best way to milk a franchise minimizing any BS to happen in the new material that could ruin the original work.>also to light novels?Yes, I'm talking about novels as a whole including LNs.
>>4526996Although the difference in pacing and formats must be considered, as I said, a novel can cover more ground in less time, and an anime that isn't an adaptation and has fewer than 24 episodes also covers less ground, not to mention a film. Therefore, manga suffers more in this regard, being the format that covers the least ground and takes much longer to complete.That's why Yuri-danshi fell so stupidly; it didn't take advantage of the format it was in, the story was approached in the stupidest way possible (wasting the fact that the protagonist resembled Light Yagami) existing under the empty promise of, "please wait, this will totally be yuri, just wait for it," the problem is not a series that progresses slowly, but a series that does nothing.
>>4526998Even if they have fewer pages a LN can cover a entire story including the romantic subplot in one volume, a 12 episodes anime original can also do it and we know movies that can do the same thing but yeah, the manga format has those limitations so you need at least something more than just minimal subtext to cater to the yuri audience.
>>4526994>making a manga that's essentially an interquel to something that's already finished doesn't make much senseUnless you don't care about the ending of the first series. The entirety of DBS happens after the main events of DBZ, but before the DBZ epilogue.
>>4527003It might be a Hottake, but people are pretty stupid about the Dragon Ball epilogue. Super and Daima are essentially a new product. The epilogue exists as closure for the classic manga. Super can be seen as a sequel to Dragon Ball Kai, while something like GT is the sequel to the original anime. Even Daima would be an alternate sequel, but more aligned with the manga (making sense and not conflicting much with the epilogue). This isn't Digimon Adventure and its insistence that the epilogue everyone hates is canon.This is not off-topic since Kale and Caulifla are yuri (the latter being an addition, an idea of Toriyama) and it was only Toyotaro who desecrated the characters, being the idiot that he always is.
>>4527002>>you need at least something more than just minimal subtext to cater to the yuri audience.That's what works against a 4koma or SOL manga; an adaptation allows you to showcase the product more quickly, but when you experience the original format, like less than 10 or 8 pages per month, things don't hit the same mark. You need something like Mazoku for people to really get engaged.
>>4526998The only mistake yuri danshi had was trying to have a plot instead of just being a bunch of retards talking about yuri, while the message of the series was on point it was unnecessary.
>>4526940Fuck the author's wishes. She made actual bait and switch so she's a cunt. I'll be as butthurt as I want. And you're a pedantic fool so fuck you too.
Yuri comforts me when I'm feeling down and makes the world even brighter when I'm happy. I can't imagine a world without it now.
>>4527008>it was only Toyotaro who desecrated the charactersDare I ask how?
>>4527063They made them strangers to each other (no yuri from the start), forced the fusion for reasons, and made them weaker than Gohan. The worst part is that there are stupid people who defend that and logically, none of that makes sense (especially when a fusion of two guys weaker than them kicked the ass and wiped the floor with the guy who was stronger than that version of Gohan).
>>4527008>This is not off-topic since Kale and Caulifla are yuri >and it was only Toyotaro who desecrated the charactersMakes up headcanon about characters who are not portrayed in a romantic way and then gets upset his headcanon was just a headcanon after all, amazing schizophrenia.
>>4527092Which headcanon? Kale literally became her own version of Broly out of jealousy and because of people who get close to Caulifla, with Caulifla being the one who helps Kale control her own power, making a good combination and fusion (that's why Toyotaro's thing is stupid). In addition to details in Sparking! Zero like Kale being happy that Caulifla is happy and Kale getting angry when someone mentions Goku's name or resembles Goku (Yes, the same as Broly but with the human name).

>>4527256You wouldn't get it.
How to stop a vengeful ghost from constantly trying to kill you?Lesbian sex of course.
>>4527287Is it translated?
>>4527289Does not appear to be. The author put it up on Jan 15 of this year.The author is https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/139960434 and although they have a first post from back in 2023, they have zero followers.I was surprised to find someone who still DREW yuri on pixiv. Its largely been abandonded to AI reposters. Though this person does not seem to be consistent about posting on pixiv.
>>4527289Oh, not going to be able to post more previews though. Ghost is a JC, MC is a JK. This of the ghost trying to kill her with the stairs is about it.
>>4527292Stop being dramatic, no one abandoned pixiv and most people just check to disable AI.
>>4527296Oh its the same artist as this, which has been translated.
>>4527296I hope this author continues this. The idea of turning the tables on a loli onryo and making her into your zashiki warashi through the power of yuri lust is delicious.
>>4527292>0 followersWell, they do gross hetshit as well. I never followed this person myself simply because I didn't want gross hetshit to appear on my feed.
>>4527296>JCOh japs help me help you
>>4527256>Auri Hirao>yuri
>>4527256What a blast from the past. I remember when /u/ used to bring this up all the time. Now we're swimming in so much yuri that older subtext series are not even floating around the public consciousness at this point.
>>4527310Correct.
I wish there was a feasible way to make yuri my job. I want to spend all day thinking about yuri but my boring non-yuri job gets in the way. Yuri game makers look like the only way to get a reliable real source of income but it is probably only 1 out of 100 that can do it full time. What untapped yuri market exists that I can pour my time into that won't end up in financial ruin?
>>4527370Stop deluding yourself, most mangaka, not even yuri mangaka have two jobs, most people doing indie shit also have two jobs, unless you specifically lucky out and an actual developer is working in making a yuri game you won't have the opportunity to work full time on yuri.
>>4527370Yuri capital management. You say you're investing in proven industries like hospitality and pharma but really you're funneling the money into lesbian brothels and iPS research.
>>4527372NTA. Kek in today economic climate it can even work.
>>4527370Open a cafe.
>>4527379Too much drama.
Why are bassists always the most useless lesbians? Is it because the most easily ignorable instrument attracts the most easily ignorable girls? I bet Sayaka would play bass, too.
>>4527398Eh, the one in Girls Band Cry is a very useful lesbian. And it's statistically likely there's at least one in Bandori (and its spinoffs) too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8j9DKHwmXSEFound this in twatter among many videos of cats fighting kaiju and ultraman (they are cute)
>>4527371Unless I start off with enough money to survive until a break-even point arrives I tend to be as pessimistic as you on this. But if you never dream then you never try something that was previously thought impossible. Yuri is a dream worth chasing.>>4527372I'd just end up just embezzling all the money and using it to open money-pits like free access yuri museums and sending free starter packs of yuri to people to proselytize it to the masses.>>4527379If the existing yuri cafe place in Japan takes off with multiple locations then I could open a competitor to drive innovation. Who knows what kinds of yuri experiences you would get with rival yuri cafes battling for customer attention?

>>4527444Is Tarumi still the most pathetic example?
How yuri is Booty Royale?it flagged as such on 'dex
>>4527546decently eventually, though the main character being put in situations where her virginity is under threat from men or anteaters is central to the early premise.
>>4527532It'll be in the Needy Streamer Overload anime.
>>4527568i asked for yuri
>>4527546It's just not yuri, author will put MC and other girls from his previous "yuri" works into sexual situations with guys, he will also draw them getting fucked on skeb, there is a reason you don't see japanese yuri accounts supporting it after all.
>>4527541
>>4527546MC is a lesbiand and has a girlfriend, and there's plenty of lesbian sex, but plenty of pervy men and rape attempts too.
>>4527583>>skeb>>author will put MC and other girls from his previous "yuri" works into sexual situations with guys, he will also draw them getting fucked on skebSkeb is the tool created by the devil to destroy everything that is good and right.
>>4527588The content in the series itself is not much different, if anything skeb is just the author being honest what the series is really about, I understand why people who think yuri is just a fetish and excuse for porn like it.
>>4527589The problem you have to consider with Skeb is basically commissions but with more restrictions, but at the end of the day it's people paying the author to do that, so here the author is not innocent, but the people who pay him for that art are the real culprits.
>>4527613Not really because a lot of skeb authors, especially the ones with serializations will literally say they won't do content involving their or even other copyright content, Anne Happy author for example has a skeb where she does non erotic content with several restrictions, originally she was doing stuff with other kirara works but kirara contacted her and told her to stop.
>>4527398I wouldn't really call Lisa a useless lesbian.

Any one caught up on STR: Strike it Rich? Wondering if they introduced even one lesbian couple?
>>4527589>people who think yuri is just a fetish Yea because they are straight men who hate women. Shocking...
>>4527661It's 2026, granny, not 2016.
>>4527672And it was true when the genre revived in 1996 and when the was made in 1906. What's your point?
>>4527675That it's retarded to claim that those who have different tastes from you do so because of "muh hatred". Grow up already.
NTA and they obviously don't hate women, but they don't respect yuri and just equate it to porn.
I want a spin-off of Signalis with the daily lives of those huge, long-legged gals dating the small workers.
>>4527678>different tastesExamine what those "tastes" stem from dingus
>>4527642True, but I would argue that she's the exception. Running down the list of bandori bassists:Rimi: crushes on the female equivalent of David BowieHimari: useless and fatChisato: cuntLisa: has a bitchy girlfriendHagumi: has brain damageLayer: couldn't make her crush join her bandNanami: walking memeSoyo: spineless twat, in a relationship with Anon but is that really a positive?, canonically slept with a retarded girlUmiri: played in dozens of bands and was the yaya in every one of them, probably has to beg the slutty streamer for sexMugendai Mewtype doesn't even have a bassist, which is probably a smart career move.
>>4527680>obviously don't hate women, but they don't respectAt a minimum they don't respect lesbians but you dig a bit more, it just circles back to many of them not liking women
Today's episode was pretty good.
>>4527683>>4527686I'm sure that made sense in your head.
>>4527695Poor Eterna.
Can't Flum rip out the the part with the mark off her face? She can regenerate, and she has injured herself far worse than that.
>>4527701The special ink the slaver used on her makes it so the mark is basically part of her body at this point and cannot be removed.
>>4527696>tastes are not formed by external social factors and you're a moron for thinking otherwiseCope
>>4527701>>4527702She is told there are probably ways to remove it but she refuses as she doesn't want to forget how slaves are treated.
>>4527706If she wants a reminder all she has to do is look at Milkit.
>>4527736Can't do it because her fetish is to touch Milkit's bare face so Milkit keeps her bandages in her face so nobody can see her bare face with the exception of Flum and that's when they're alone in their room
>>4527704>liking something means that you hate it actuallyRetard.

>>4528235How could you not have played it yet? It's one of the finest yuri experiences you could hope for. Yuna-nee and her gf who I won't spoil if you really didn't play it let the kindred spirits possess their bodies so they could finally do the deed resulting in them all effectively getting to experience it. I doubt anything else can ever make a 4some as sweet and pure since it was simultaneously a 4some and also just the 2 separate couples experiencing it with their partners.
