>>4543019Can they retcon Arf back into the plot? Even though there's no hope for yuri since Feito-chan is taken, their dynamic in season 1 was so good. Why the hell did they turn her into a babysitter for some literal who babies?
Feel like you ladies would appreciate this take off my Tumblr feed
>>4543792Who's gonna get iPS pregnant Rei or Claire?
>>4543814But anon, """lesbians""" fucking men is more realistic and adult! How is anyone going to take your lesbian romance story seriously if they don't suck 15 dicks throughout the story?
>>4543814They are all about representing minorities, to absurd degrees like adding black nobles in medieval europe, until the minority is actual lesbians. Then any depiction of it becomes "unrealistic"
>>4543816Shut up, Erica.
>>4543815Rei duh>>4543817That's obviously because they cannot imagine anything without a phallus involved. That's why they keep making contradicting statements of allowing otherwise straight couples into the fold while getting pissy if you're purely a homosexual>>4543833Has she ever advocated for that tho?
>>4543814I appreciate it a lot.It's even worse when they take the few lesbian stories we got and headcanon past het into it. I hate them so fucking much.
>>4543861It helps when you mostly follow radfemsI definitely agree with you. My annoyance is also when it's yet another fucking sad story. So westerners either get bi shit (not inherently bad but keeps happening), sad gays, or there are lesbians but put off to the side. It's so fucking infuriating
While "realism" is often a shitty cowardly justification still commonly used, the truth is that they are just pandering to the audiences they have, if your main western demographic is male they don't want to see "lesbians", they want to see women who will get fucked, so either bisexual or worse realize during the course of the story she was one, if not straight. Meanwhile western women just don't relate to lesbians at all, it's not so much they don't believe gold star lesbians couldn't exist but they don't believe themselves could ever been one. And of course then you have the worst audience inside those demographics sometimes works are promoted to, the "LGBT" audience, which the further the right it goes, the more issues it has with the portrayal of lesbians.
>>4543880So basically we're fucked in terms of broad-ish and indy appeal. Neat >believe themselves could ever been oneGod so true
>>4543881It took Japan decades to actually cultivate a culture of appreciating female relationship in fiction, even so with came with several caveats of basically working around lesbianism, "they just feel in love with someone who was of the same gender" and so on, only in the more recent years you actually have seen authors pushing for the idea the girls would also not be attracted to male versions of their lovers. It's very ironic but Chinese manhua is probably the only place which has an actual appreciation of lesbianism.
>>4543883I mean from what I see, Thai GL is doing pretty good with that too. But still you're right. If anything when China either fully relaxes or legalizes homosexual marriages they will be to powerful. Like those Korean and Japanese comics from 2 years ago
>>4543871>radfemsSounds like something you find in Fallout.
>>4543891They are about as radioactive too. But are at least getting the job done in promoting and keeping lesbian rights in the western hell scape
>>4543880I just create for myself with only myself in mind. Not trying to appeal to anyone but me, and I actively avoid gaining an audience because everytime I start to get more eyes on my work is when the annoying people start coming out and wondering why I'm not somehow involving men. Not sure why you put "LGBT" audience as the worst, typically its the men and straight women that are the worst to have as an audience for your f/f work.
>>4543900>Not sure why you put "LGBT" audience as the worstI give that a pass since the + is full of spicy straights. Even bi women deserve more respect than what's being offered by what's out there> I just create for myself with only myself in mind.See that's what you should do but it's hard to for some of these people to make things for their own enjoyment. Regardless if it's being put out there or not
>>4543900Anon, I don't want to be rude, but the original post was talking about books and the discussion extended itself to other media, we are not not talking about your fanfic or your webcomic or whatever it is your hobby project. Straight men and women are predicable, the LGBT audience will often turn against works and creators for petty if not imaginary reasons, easily observable with almost every new yuri manga localization announcement.
>>4543902if you really think the majority of lesbians consuming lesbo fiction would get mad at a les4les relationship, you are making up things to get mad at. The troll you saw on twitter is not a real person
>>4543903>if you really think the majority of lesbians consuming lesbo fiction would get mad at a les4les relationshipI'm not sure the dozen of them matter in the scale we are talking about, this is why I said>which the further the right it goes, the more issues it has with the portrayal of lesbians.
>>4543903Depends on how that relationship is depicted, of course.
>>4543792>editionUuuughhh. Come on. Fuck off.
>>4543902>Straight men and women are predictable Imagine saying something so retarded.
>>4543883>"they just feel in love with someone who was of the same gender"At least they just said that as something of a mandatory line they thought readers needed. They didn't necessarily actually have the girls involved with guys or being attracted to them. The West is weird. Somehow the idea of diversity became just about accepting kinks without limits. And then there's the weird way that they treat sex like empowerment rather than connection. Actual lesbianism isn't welcome by and large. Asian content is ahead on that, with Japan in the lead and China doing its best to catch up.
>>4543885Hopefully that won't take too long. Here's hoping the oldies in power start retiring soon.

>>4544045If only there was a Nintendo thread where Pokemon pics are freely shared. Alas.
Shame about the rest of the show
>>4543446>Witch Hunter RobinThis show left me feeling a lot of feelings twenty.....four years ago.
>>4544053What's wrong with it?
>>4544075The het, particularly featuring those two characters
>>4544077Frankly, the only real het was Gabimaru wanting to get back with his wife; the rest was weird crap from flowery people and things that don't qualify as het, just nonsense.
>>4543444>>4544054Does Witch Hunter Robin have some yuri elements?
What kind of unfunny bullshit is John 4chan going to have for us tomorrow, I wonder.
>>4544100I don't even remember any after the infection one from 2020.

Ouch> 一年に一度だけ、本当の気持ちを言える日
>>4544083NoHowever that was a scene in Witch Hunter Robin that made me mistakenly think it was two women kissing. Of course it wasnt, but the thought of it was so exciting and new to me at the time that it eventually led me down to the dark and frustrating path of yuri.
>>4544046Remember when you use to like Pokemon for, the pokemons?
>>4544108I remember there being 151 Pokemon, no more and no less. Times change.
>>4544108Pokemon design suffered a gradual drop in quality since the 6th or so generation. Gen 9 had practically zero memorable designs. It's been all about doujinbait characters for a while now.
Riddle for the ages:Which is gayer, identical twin lesbian incest or fraternal twin lesbian incest.
>>4544108Yeah I went to see Pokémon the first movie in theater
I wish the first yuri manga were as sexual as the first yaoi manga. Imagine a girl prostituting herself for the other girls in the school and being referred to as a dyke whore or an older lady with a harem of orphan girls she groomed for a yuri manga in the 1960s. Class S was a mistake. R-18 yuri doujins, yuri smut manga and yuri eroge still have not caught up in numbers to het/yaoi to this day.
>>4544151>I wish they pandered to men moreLeave
First Void Stranger art I've seen.
I finally finished Futaribeya after putting off the final volume for a while. The ending was rather anti-climatic? There was a chapter where they had their first kiss while star gazing and Sakurako asks for Kasumi’s opinion on dating in the next chapter, so it felt like it was headed towards a real conclusion with an actual confession. Sakurako being disappointed in the response lead me to believe Kasumi would come up with a real answer. However nothing really happens and they are content with their current relationship. I guess it’s fitting but I wish there was some form of closure.
>>4544232I mean, one of the doujin revealed they even had sex with each other already, so dating or not dating is just a formality at this point

>>4544464>The most yuri part was when both of them were fighting for the same guyAre you referring to the completely discarded timeline?What I remember in the end is that they both became friends when they were little and you see them together in the future without any problems and without that boy anywhere around, the most hilarious thing is that they never fought over the boy, that's just in your head.
>>4544486NTA but you didn't make it sound better at all
>>4544494It's better to tell the truth than to invent a (het) plot that didn't exist in the first place. A lot of details are ignored for a series of only 6 episodes, where Het is the wrong way and I'm not even exaggerating.
>>4544509If it's not yuri I don't really care either way

>>4544441Isn't one of those manga the one where the JK who plays piano goes over the adult woman's house who smokes and has all the shit lying around? It looks like one of the covers for Hametsu no Koibito. Did it ever actually become yuri? It had a nice age gap, but the story moved at a glacial pace and I don't remember anything romantic happening before the translations stalled out. Looks like it got nuked from mangadex, too.

I always thought that Rae was cuter than Claire.
Despite female mangakas making up 80%+ of all yuri writers, why are tomboy characters so rare in yuri? There's usually one token tomboy character in yuri if you're lucky, who's usually very girlish still. I guess the "yuri hime" stereotype is true?
>>4544888Japanese women seem more feminine in general. True of Asian women in general, I think.
>>4544888>why are tomboy characters so rare in yuriBecause they're usually ugly.
>>4544884because she's dorkier and kinda weird, so I guess more relatable?
>>4544888No? We had several works with tomboys, we literally have two ongoing works that are tomboy x tomboy.
>>4544900She is a isekai protagonist after all, until Inori fucks with her character and she is just his voice for the most ridiculous arguments you can think of over social issues.
>>4544888Nemo isn't a tomboy she's a girl gamer
>>4544888She's so mean to her retarded girlfriend :(
Ah I just remembered School zone had a tomboy as the main love interest for the protagonist.
>>4544909>:(
>>4544907Nemo: tomboyMichiko: butchHaruka: genkiKaoruko: karen Kiwi: slampigKnow the difference.
>>4544888>why are tomboy characters so rare in yurithey're not though?there's plenty of tomboy and princely girls
>>4544910She's not really a tomboy. She's only embarassed of her long hair because the protag couldn't stop touching it. One of the twin sisters is actually a tomboy though.
How yuri is Eris no Seihai?
>>4544902Like defending the treasonous incest hetshit couple? That was the weirdest, batshit, out of nowhere thing in the beginning.
>>4544931that's not even in the top 5 weirdest things she's done
Is Shiboyugi yuri? I'm watching it right now because I have nothing to do but I saw someone mention it is yuri even though I've never heard of this show before.
I wish there was more casual flirting in the manga I read. Like, not something added to meet a quota or as fan service but something that tells you there is indeed intimacy in the characters' every day life rather than being outbursts of lust
>>4544931>Why did Rae defend her friend who was forced into evil?
>>4543885>>4543931Are you delusional? The CCP dictatorship isn't going to disappear. They fucked their population so badly with the One-Child law that now there are way too few women, so Big Brother Xi will continue to villify homosexuals and push for hyper traditional hetshitter dynamics in the country. Old men dying is not the problem. A autocratic nation will always be anti-minority, because they need to distract the people with an easy enemy to bash.
>>4544232Yukiko is a hack obssessed with her "no labels" bullshit. What else do you expect? It's just another manifestation of pretentiousness that some yuri authors are mired with. This constant need to "go beyond" simple romance and be somehow innovative and special for not using the same terms and dynamics everyone else has.There isn't even a point to it, she just wanted to half-ass this message regardless of the fact that everyone told her there is no point.
>>4544232PS: That wasn't their first kiss. They had some before, even on-screen.
>>4544942The only relationships are between girls, be they love, hate or anything in-between. Over the course of the story several girls get enamored and obsessed with Yuuki who herself at best only has eyes for her shishou without going into spoilers for volume 5 where there was another. There's a yuri couple allegedly having sex around volume 8, but I haven't got that far myself and even then I wouldn't call the series yuri because of it. It's only very easy to ship pairs because death games can cause some very intense relationships to form.
>>4544884Claire is designed to be more sexy than cute.
https://x.com/kimiwotsumugu/status/2040384028872724877?s=20
>>4545001>https://x.com/kimiwotsumugu/status/2040384028872724877?s=20Definitely out of nowhere:https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2026-04-04/let-me-fix-you-yuri-manga-gets-short-anime/.236081
>>4544942It's not, no. It's very much intended to be an artsy Anime Squid Game rather than Cute Girls Do Death Games. The cast is entirely female and some girls do get close to each other, but the focus is on the games themselves and Yuki trying to break the record for surviving the most games. Yuki does have an arc with a hot oujosama who wants to dominate her, so that's where a lot of the yuri fanart came from. I liked the show enough that I started reading the books, and Yuki enjoys having the other girls cling to her for protection and she wants to touch the fat girl's thighs, stuff like that. She can identify the other girls in the first game of the first volume by just touching their hands from the time where they kept stealing her food from out of her hand and she mentions that she realizes now why some people get a hand fetish and it felt very gay. She also mentions that, generally, only attractive people get scouted for the games in order to increase viewership, and some girls sign up for the games for the sole purpose of getting close to cute girls, so there are dykes out there that play death games to pick up chicks. Also, if you're wondering what those numbers mean that flash on the screen and increase as the episode goes on, those are the subchapter numbers from the novels.
So what's the /u/ verdict on omae gotoki?
>>4545045twas alright, but i dont see myself reading the LN
>>4545046The LN is far better though. I can't see myself ever watching more than one episode of the anime adaptation.
>>4544929Nothing, the (beautiful) ghost girl is only seeking revenge and befriends the normal girl to achieve that, sometimes she possesses her, they have a friendly relationship, the only romance is between Het couples and when you might think there is something yuri, it was really just admiration that does not transcend to anything romantic.
>>4544942>>Is Shiboyugi yuri?As the other Anon said, it's yuri in its own way.>>4545044So my theory that Yuki is a pervert who just wants to touch girls or be near them turned out to be true? Cool, I guess.What follows in adaptation is a movie adapting a beach arc; I hate that format, but something is better than nothing.
>>4544973Hay as long as 4b keeps trucking their situation isn't gonna get any better. So they can keep vilifing them all they want, it's not gonna get those women to marry those losers
>>4544973Cuba's a dictatorship too but they passed same-sex marriage and lgbt rights before Japan. I'll remain hopeful towards China.
>>4545088Cuba and China have pretty consistent Ws. I'm choosing to believe in their government recognizing a woman's right to get her clam fishing license
>Awajima anime by the Aoi Hana author lost all hype by the English fandom because she retweeted a transphobic tweet years agoWas it fair?
>>4545098Typical Western nonsense (which ironically doesn't contradict anything). People should be worried about the content of the work, which will be the real problem. I just hope I don't have a director complaining about the fans because the anime isn't a success.
>>4545098Considering what she's written, is it actually transphobic or are they being retarded?Also anyone else keeping up with "even though we're adults"? It's been a while and I need to know if they got together or if the author is more interested in making fun of the husband for getting cucked by a woman?
>>4544942Lol no
>>4544931I wish it was only this, because the solution for this was just to send them to incest island where they had many retarded children.
>>4545045Disappointing for trying to adapt parts of the manga which is mostly nonsense, but at same time the focus the anime gave to make clear to everyone it was a yuri anime was heartwarming.
>>4545100The fans of this work and yuri fans are different things though, if anything she would be complaining about shoujo fans. >>4545102Almost every yuri author has the exactly same opinions, especially women, this specific audience projects themselves into yuri and get upset when turns out people from a culture who doesn't accept them in fact doesn't accept them.
>>4545118Idk I saw the anime years ago before I got back into yuri and it's way more respectful of the topic than they deserve. So either way, they are being retarded
>>4545126This goes without saying, people trying to be respectful are always the first on their list because they are the easiest targets.
>>4545088They are not even remotely comparable. Being hopeful towards a growingly anti-LGBT government and culture is retarded.>>4545090Neither of them have anything positive going on. One has been falling apart for decades and the other is an expansionist surveillance state nation that is anti-homosexual, represses all free press, directly controls academia and curriculum (which is why they officially re-established homosexuality as a mental illness, despite any real doctor being able to tell you it's not) and have actively euthanized minorites they don't like. Not even mentioning the sham of a justice system that allows the CCP to execute basically anyone that is remotely seen as non-confirming, with trials that are not available to the public, torture being allowed to force confession and the death penalty being used liberally. Believing that this shitshow of a nation will ever improve is delusional.
>>4545118>turns out people from a culture who doesn't accept them in fact doesn't accept themJapan doesnt accept lesbians any more than trannies, so your point is really bad. I could mention hundreds of examples in Jap media (and general culture) where trans characters or concept are actually positively promoted too, so clearly it's something that is just as accepted in fiction the way yuri is. Even if you look at rea life, Okama culture has been there for longer than there have been lesbian bars. Japan is not anti-trans, it's just generally swiping LGBT into the corner where you don't have to look at them.So basically you are trying to treat Japan's regressive conservatism as a good thing because you can use it as a weapon against trannies, without acknowleding the irony of how it actively harms lesbians and yuri just as much.Btw, actual LGBT people in Japan are very open minded about every other section of LGBT communities, unlike in the West were the camps fight each other, because Japs are too polite to be openly hostile towards each other, even within minorities. So you will hardly see "transphobia" among lesbians there. Hell lots of lesbians read BL trash over there.
>>4545188>One has been falling apart for decadesThanks to Uncle Sam
>>4545190Cuba's entire economic concept failed from the start. Their cult of personality is extremely idiotic, but I guess that's something they share with Murica. There is nothing to idealize about Cuba, but like I said, you can't compare it to China. It's just a small irrelevant dot on the map that is barely getting by. There is no real reason for them to force an anti-homosexual stance as it wouldn't benefit the dictatorship that is more focused on surviving economic collapse. They also have a very powerful common enemy to focus on with the US, so they don't need minority scapegoats.China is actively problematic both inwardly and outwardly, because complete control is an active goal and like I said, they completely fucked up their population numbers which led to a huge skew towards men. When there is an overwhelming amount of men in a country, that usually means war is very close and women's and LGBT rights are on a downward spiral. It's amazing how anybody can actually defend a nation that is so openly and actively hostile towards lesbians and lesbian media, but I've long since noticed that there are plenty of chinese drones here.
>>4545188China does, just none of it on the social front>falling apart for decadesYou're really underselling 60 years of trade embargos>>4545189>lesbians read BL trash over thereAnd they make phenomenal yuri out of it>>4545192I'm just a shill for the 4b movement really. Besides with sperm counts declining as it is moids, are gonna get put in a wall sooner rather than later. IVG babies from women only couples is the future weather they like it or not
>>4545192>It's amazing how anybody can actually defend a nation that is so openly and actively hostile towards lesbians and lesbian media, but I've long since noticed that there are plenty of chinese drones here.Nah, it's just convenient ignorance. Many people ignore important factors in other parts of the world and only see what suits them. We really shouldn't care about the policies those nations have. Some people seem to live under the false notion that "legalizing gay marriage translates into more yuri content," when the sad reality is that's not the case. You can complain about Japan all you want like a good snob, but the reality is that that country and its yuri content are the reason many of us are here or give a damn about lesbian romance. Without it, all we'd have is porn and stories that nobody really cares about.
>>4545102Even Though We're Adults has been finished for over a year. Yes they do get together and move in with each other.
>>4545199>legalizing gay marriage translates into more yuri contentThat depends, has anyone tracked the rate of yuri shows coming out of Thailand since they legalized last year?
>>4545200Yeyyy. Did she ever stop taking pot shot at the husband for being such a loser? Cause that was good reprieve in between the main couple and the high school(?) girl
>>4545203Show me the lie.
>>4545203Please no, don't make me take her side, I like her now, what did you do to me?!
Yuri?
>>4545198>China doesThat's debatable. Their economy is not as stable as the CCP wants you to think and the housing bubble is always close to bursting around there. Entire empty cities are built and torn down over and over without sense because the government sponored companies are going bankrupt due to speculation. Not to mention the extreme poverty on the countryside. And their "tech innovations" are just as stupid as techbros in Murica. Lest we forget that their major AI software could easily be hacked recently. Or how their robotics are actually mostly gas and zero substance. Or how they spill nuclear waste directly into the ocean and covered that up. Or how they were stupid enough to let to covid virus escape their lab which ravaged not just the world, but especially China's own population.>You're really underselling 60 years of trade embargosI wasn't saying that it's all self-inflicted. It's a shitty situation all around.>IVG babies from women only couples is the future weather they like it or notUtopic, but I sure would love that future.
>>4545198>lesbians read BL trash over there>And they make phenomenal yuri out of itThat doesn't even make sense...
>>4545189I don't think so, recently we even had a lesbian yuri author who was attacked by the people you are talking about because she had diverging opinions about them, one of the creeps attacking her was even part of that recent yuri book in the perspective of a feminist or something like, which was wildly mocked by the japanese community for a lot of wild claims with no sources and basically no input from any relevant author. This subculture of nice people who love each other very much is nothing but a narrative you bought if not made up yourself. Same for what you call "positive representation", when that manga called how I turned my childhood friend into a girl was localized, they had to reprint the whole thing because the author got upset the localization as referring to the cross-dressing character as a woman and this also got the community you are talking about upset with the author as they understood what the author support is the idea of "cute men crossdressing and being part of a homosexual relationship" not "gender ideology". Japan is a conservative country, this is just the truth, I don't see the point in pretending it isn't, yuri is a japanese concept which doesn't exist anywhere else in the world, this is a board and a thread to talk about this japanese subculture, which exists in a conservative society, so whether you like it or not, the japanese authors, who live in japan, who are part of a conservative society will also mostly have conservative values and opinions and this will extend itself to the group of people you are talking about, most authors love them as much they love immigration and you can cry they are regressive or whatever you want to call them, but you are here talking about a product created in a japanese conservative society and not in your "progressive world".
>>4545199Anon... LGBT acceptance/rights directly correlate to LGBT media. Japan is in a very unusual balance where they dont support LGBT much, but the fictional side is extremely ubiquitous. But make no mistakle, if anti-LGBT movements get big in a country, this actively leads to lesbian media being either demonized, criminalized or pushed down (China is a prime example of that especially between 2019-2024). Legalizing gay marriage is not what enables yuri media, but any kind of general acceptance improves the rate of such media being released.And let's not forget how fucking retarded the Class S era of the 60-80s was when men controlled same-sex media and when society was so hostile towards lesbians that lesbianism was nearly erased in the public image and treated as a "phase". Yuri is a direct counter-movement to that era and is a sign of more liberal strands of Japanese youth shining through. I cannot stress enough that conservatism is actively hurting yuri media at all points in history. Even when it's not about yuri directly, the conservatives are the ones who forced artists to censor porn in Japan which actively lowers the quality of yuri doujins since the 90s too.
>>4545204Oviously /u/ agrees with that stance, but the question was whether she said something transphobic, and by all definitions that statement is considered such. Doesn't mean she is wrong, but it explains why a lot of people would be angry at her.
>>4545209Please go to the fujo yuri thread, it's kino
>>4545212China is one of the biggest producers of homosexual media in the world.
>>4545211>60-80sWasn't that the 30's-50's, when women were just banned from publishing because of Frued's bs? >LGBT acceptance/rights directly correlate to LGBT mediaThis is true and saying otherwise is just ignorant
>>4545213In the end, what does it matter? The people who are angry with her are not real consumers; rather, they are people who live under the notion that the entertainment industry in general owes them money for existing.
>>4545215Yes and that's why I have hope they do accept us more before IVG becomes ubiquitous and we move closer to that Kodama Naoko 4-koma
>>4545210This entire post is so badly structured and contradictory, it hurts.So first you say that the LGBT camps in Japan do fight each other, clearly not having the same conservaitve ideology at all, but then you say they are all conservative and will just have conservative values. While also ignoring the entire history of yuri works that actively pointed out how retarded Japanese society is about mistreating lesbians and acticely telling men who try to control womem to fuck off.Then you use one example of a recent BL trash work being mislabeled as tranny content which caused a small outcry as if it somehow represents the entire discussion on tranny content in Japan, even though the point was that there is lots of positive promotion of tranny characters, not that the majority supports them.The entire concept of a "female soul" in male bodies has been extremely relevant to Japanese media and mythology for centuries. There is lots of modern media where trannies are included and treated with (undeserving) affirmation. Just as much as lesbians in media.So as I already pointed out that Jap society hurts lesbians and lesbian media, you can tell that the same goes for trannies obviously.>yuri is a japanese concept which doesn't exist anywhere else in the worldThis is retarded nonsense. Yuri is just lesbian anime/manga/pop-culture media. Use whatever name you want, it is literally not unique to Japan in any way. You are actively telling me that it's fine that lesbians are oppressed and yuri media is being limited because "hurr-durr this conservative society created yuri". No you dumbfuck, yuri was created by people who are LESS conservative than the general mainstream or otherwise it wouldn't exist. Liberal ideas like same-sex romance and couples are not gonna spawn from pure conservatism. Yuri authors have been fighting for homosexual equality in different ways for decades. It's almost amusing how off the mark your post is, if it wasn't so sad.
>>4545214No, I dont like shitty yaoi art done be fujos who dont know how to draw women anymore because they can only imagine men fucking each other. BL artists trying to do yuri results in absolute trash 99% of the time. You were trying to say lesbians who read BL make good yuri, but that is not what the fujo thread is about. That's about straight fujos trying yuri.
Is nakinagi really yuri?
>>4545215They are not. If you actually look at the percentages instead of pure numbers, they are very low. And that is obvious, because duh a population of 2 billion+ will have more people create homosexual media despite the government actively telling them not to. Chinese artists and creators are circimventing the very law of their country and using the internet to spread media that could get them in trouble. There is literally no mainstream yuri anywhere in China. There is no yuri animation either. Lesbian live action movies? You wish. It's like praising the country for what the criminals that are actively opposing the country's ways are doing. What kind of sense does that make?
>>4545221At least look before you make sweeping judgments. Just because those ladies read BL doesn't mean they'd only draw their women like men
>>4545216>Wasn't that the 30's-50's, when women were just banned from publishing because of Frued's bs?It was 60s-80s where Shoujo and Class S media were nearly entirely controlled by men. We are talking about manga here, which was not really a thing till the late 50s to 60s. When it comes to novels, of course anything post 30s was basically male controlled too. It's insane how it took till the 80s for women to regain control over the media that is about them...
>>4545217It's just so stupid that your statement applies to lesbian media in equal measure. I sure as hell am not supporting disgusting trap BL stories or tranny shit. It's just so tiring to see these arguments being used in a way that can literally be turned back on yuri fans. At least be direct about your biases without giving anti-LGBT retards more fuel.
>>4545225Then it's not fujo yuri. It's just artists who like both yuri and BL. The only way to distinctly tell that an author is fujotrash who is trying yuri is by them using BL tropes and artstyles, which are incredibly shitty and don't fit into yuri.I think this entire thing is a misnomer. Fujoshi are exclusively obssessed with males. Lesbians who read BL are not fujos. They are still into women and media representing them.
>>4545226That's how the genre became "how to get a boyfriend" when you got women like Yoshiya Nobuko writing about her experiences as a woman and a lesbian and litterally made illegal for her to write about them. I remember reading an article about a protest she was at where she lambasted the men who'd write stories in their place and how'd she'd yell at them for bastardizing the genre (and by extension her work)
>>4545228It's litterally genderbent BL characters, that is the definition of Fujo Yuri
>>4545230Fujo yuri is not a synoym for GB'd BL characters you troglodyte... Though GB garbage is not yuri to begin with, so I guess this explains why you are defending fujos. You just love men.
Agents of the Four Seasons might be the most diabolical yuribait anime this year
>>4545219It hurts because you are just here to push your narrative, they have diverging opinions of different degrees on conservative issues, because they are a conservative society, more than half of them already supports gay marriage, but you can be pretty sure almost all of them, including your super progressive LGBT activist would have strong restrictions toward immigration, because they are a conservative society, they have largely improved over women rights in the last decades, they even have a female prime minister, can you tell me who was the first female president of your progressive heaven? But women still get treated like shit if they don't act the role because again, they live in a conservative society and whether it will improve or regress in regards to this or other areas it will be done in conservative ways, though hopefully they progress towards the ban of certain mentally ill behavior. Oh yes, by the amount of works that nowadays tackles those serious themes we can assume the fighting is finally over then, the truth is that yuri is a product and acts like a product 99% of the time, most yuri authors will never admit their works feature lesbian characters, most yuri authors won't show the character being mistreated by society beyond some generic already popular position with this conservative society which is women should have equal rights and men shouldn't be sex pests, your female character fighting back over being gropped by a gross guy in the subway is anything but fighting "against the men", maybe you should ask YH to do another taisho era manga where they barely face any actual issue of the time or maybe do another manga about how women can use pants too. 1/2 because it's too long.
>>4545192>It's just a small irrelevant dot on the map that is barely getting by. There is no real reason for them to force an anti-homosexual stance as it wouldn't benefit the dictatorship that is more focused on surviving economic collapse.This is pure nonsense. There are many irrelevant dots in the world, some of them even think they're relevant, yet they don't choose how to treat their gays based on anything other than their bigotry. Also, stop belittling the people of Cuba. They honorably battled the bigotry of their regime for decades just like people did in the US back in the day. They then achieved major victories. Nothing comes easy anywhere.And my point is that if people work hard enough for more freedom, they can achieve it anywhere regardless of what regime they have. I've got growing respect for the Chinese population. So I hope and pray they'll succeed sooner rather than later. That doesn't make me a "drone" as I'm not supporting any government anywhere. I don't even support mine.
>>4545219>>45452392/2No anon, my point is not about the work being misunderstood here, my point is that the work only got misunderstood here because you and other idiots are unable to understand what you call "positive promotion" has nothing to do with the ideology you are talking about in the first place. it's even ironic you brought BL up yourself when this is a perfect example of this, lots of fujos are completely fine with a smut manga where the guys fuck each other, but they fucking hate faggots, they still want the men in the end of the day to still follow "their responsibility", have a wife and have a family, not be in a relationship with another guy, while actual BL manga portraying healthy homosexual relationships don't get near the same attention as your yaoi smut does.Yuri is a word to describe japanese culture content involving relationships of the female gender, it doesn't even have anything to do with lesbians at all, which most yuri manga doesn't even feature, most of them still use the same excuse they are not in love with the same gender, they just are in love with this specific person who could be of any gender at all.I am not telling it's fine or not, I am telling you it is how they society is, yuri is a product that somehow only seems to exist in conservative societies, japan, china, korea, meanwhile your progressive countries are unable to create such genres.
>>4545231Except that's what a lot of fujos do you moron. They GB their moids or make yuri with yaoi vibes
>>4545243You are confusing Gender swap with Gender bending.
>>4545039I remember buying this doujinshi years ago. Didn't expect to see that when I opened the link. Interesting but it isn't really out of nowhere like it was a big budget announcement. Someone just had enough safety net to drop a year's salary or less on an indie anime from a new studio who hasn't built enough clout to charge high prices yet. I've considered doing it very often lately but these are uncertain times so I don't want to light my parachute on fire yet.
>>4545240With those thoughts, it's better to wait lying in your coffin or your cremation jar. I know things are done with effort, but you should never underestimate what a regime is capable of doing to permanently retain its power.Change will happen, but it requires determined people who take real action, not idiots on social media complaining about problems they don't understand, flattering themselves with pretty phrases and awarding themselves medals for being better than everyone else.
>>4545239>first female president of your progressive heaven?Of course you are a moron who thinks everyone is a Murican. Of course. There were and are plenty of female leaders in the West. And unlike Japan most of the west has far stronger rights for women and LGBT both, so what the hell is this half-assed attempt at a jab?You are once again actively supporting conservative retardation simply because it hurts one group you don't like, with zero brains afforded to the impact on the people you are supposedly supporting will get from that.>most yuri authors will never admit their works feature lesbian characters>most yuri authors won't show the character being mistreated by societyYeah I am not reading anymore from someone who so clearly knows nothing about the yuri genre and has obviously not read any of it. Bye.
>>4545240The Chinese populous has been brainwashed and bred into complete submission. They are very much like Russians in that way. There will never be a proper revolt agains the CCP. Collectivism is big in Asia, but China's government can kill you with wild abandon at any time, so there is even less of a chance.
>>4545231>You just love men... so you turn them into womenYou're not very smart, are you?
>>4545202iirc the husband's story moves on to him getting with his coworker, ayano's story is about how her divorce impacts her career, and akane's story is about her being the mediator between the little sister, the cheating hairdresser guy, and his wife. It's been a year since I read it so you're honestly just better off reading it yourself tho.
>>4545222it takes 98% of the manga to get there but yes
>>4545039Aww nice! I backed that Kickstarter the other week too
>>4545243This >>4545245Genderswap is when the characters were always girls in their universe, even if they are based on guys. Genderbending is actively turning a guy into a girl which means it's still a fucking guy, which is not yuri.>make yuri with yaoi vibesYeah I already mentioned that. BL tropes and writing, which do no belong in yuri.
>>4545241Wow and on top of not understanding yuri at all, you even try to explain fujos while not understanding them at all either. What a moron.The fact that a huge section of fujos straight up doesn't want men to interact with women at all and think men should only fuck men is lost on you, eh? They are not any less extremist than yuri purists you dumb bitch. They literally ship real life men with each other. You lost your mind if you think that most fujos want men to marry women.
>>4545254>I love men so much that even when I draw yuri as an experiment or because my audience wants it, I still make them look and act like men, because I know nothing else
>>4545264This retard is actually drinking all the conservative kool-aid and spouting Fox News lines. Did you miss your turn at /pol/ you freak?>dunking on JP yuri while defending ChinaIt's like you want to offend every single side in this topic at once or something. Brain damage? Likely.Ignoring that in China you can neither openly publish uncensored yuri or even make a yuri animated series or a lesbian live action movie without directly circumventing the government by releasing them through third parties from Taiwan or with out-of-the-country contractor firms.The actual Chinese """yuri""" media right now censors kisses, if they even allow them to kiss at all, actively avoids using any term that even implies homosexuality and doesn't use any relationship terms either. It's almost like you know nothing about China's bad yuri situation and only base this on the works that escaped censorship.While also not reading any Japanese yuri at all and thus not seeing the hundreds of manga that explicitely call the characters lesbians and lovers and whatever else you pretend doesn't exist for some completely insane reason.
>>4545264>inventing cute new names for relationship like "nue"this works so well in the context of the story to the point where it doesn't feel like it could fit as an example of an author chickening out
>>4545273>All the yuri baihe you have been reading is imaginary or it doesn't count as chinese media at all. hohoho>>4545274The author is not afraid of using the L word in his work, Natsume literally asks if Sorawo is a lesbian, but the point is not to argue the author is chickening out, but his writing is just consistent with what is expected from japanese culture, they feel the need to explain homosexual relationships as some beast with 7 heads, if Toriko was a male character this plot point would never exist, it would never be allowed, if Sorawo was a guy it would however it would open several implications about how exclusive their relationship would be.
>>4545284>I read webnovels and webcomics on western aggregator sites, so clearly these are actually being openly published in China without censorship right?hahaha
>>4545267Those definitions are entirely arbitrary. I have seen both words used to describe both concepts.
>>4545286The consensus is as I stated. The fact that some people use the terms wrong isn't my problem. It's in the words really. You swap out male for female characters. You bend someone's physical sex. Couldn't be any more clear desu.
>>4545271>I still make them look and act like menDid it hurt when you pulled that out of your ass?>I know nothingIt shows.
>>4545287Nice consensus. Why don't you back it up with a source?
>>4545288That is literally what all fujo yuri is.
>>4545285Amazing no? Biliili will censor kissing but authors still find no issues with just calling the girls lesbians.
>>4545284So what about the hundreds of yuri Light Novels that don't avoid the terms lovers, lesbians or girlfriends? How do those fit into your idiotic narrative?
>>4545292Except in published works that arent just on a video uploading platform, the terms are avoided as much as possible. Especially because, you know, homosexuality is officially a mental illness according to the government and thus all media.So basically you admit yuri is absolutely censored on all platforms and just aren't aware how much more severe it is in places you can't access, you collossal fuck-up. And you are trying to spin it like somehow using the word lesbian is a win, when JP media absolutely does this too and Western media which you dilligently pretend doesn't exist, does naturally too.But you are the moron who thinks yuri is a Japanese exclusive concept that has nothing to do with lesbians and that no lesbian media exists outside of JP/KR/CN, so your opinion is worthless anyway.
>>4545293>Hundreds of yuri light novelsYou are still pushing this fallacy when even Teren's editor who actually works for a light novel publisher outright stated there were barely any yuri light novel when Watanare started publishing? So no, answering your question your shitty LN that doesn't even recognize the girls as a couple also don't recognize them as anything more. While avoiding to call themselves lovers being an almost exclusive cope to Yagakimi, working around the gay is just the usual, popular actual yuri Light Novels like Adashima, Watanare, Tenten, Shuukura, Hikikomari Vampire, all do it, Adashima even had the word lesbian in the localization but people noticed it wasn't part of the original where Shimamura is just ambiguous about if she likes other girls and outright states Adachi has no interest in gender. Other Iruma works were more open about it though only Itsuki sensei actually open the question itself. I can tell you Shouwaru Tensai Osananajimi to no Shoubu ni Makete Shotaiken o Zenbu Ubawareru Hanashi, Eh, Watashi Socchi Nano!?” Koinu-Kei Kouhai Kanojo ni Taberareru Kakkoii Watashi, Kurasu no Hime wa Watashi no Wanko, Suki na Ko no Imouto all seem to avoid touching on it, hell even the ones where the girls are literally seeking only relationship with girls will never bring it up. Arioto did it, I'm love with villainess did it even though it brought all the bad of the west too and that one which I forgot the name about the mangaka living with the JK.>>4545295You mean Bilibili the biggest japanese platform and their youtube equivalent? The difference is that lesbian is the standard of baihe, lesbian is the exception of yuri and the west has no genre equivalent for yuri so no matter how much you try to cope with this just because you want to push your western trash as yuri, it's NEVER going to be yuri.
>>4545287>You swap out male for female characters. You bend someone's physical sex.That could easily apply the other way around. I've seen plenty of genderswaps refered to as genderbent versions.
>>4545299>makes up some shit about how there are totally no yuri light novels>mentions a dozen himselfLiteral schizophrenia.>YagaKimi avoids the term loversIt literally doesn't. That was the fucking plot device, but by the end they are lovers and this has been confirmed repeatedly you insufferable moron.Also, you collossal fuck-up, not every story needs to mention that the characters are lesbians when it is self-evident. Even plenty of Western works where labels are as common as sand on the beach, have stories where sexuality isn't brought up, because there is no reason to. The girls love each other and most of the time are only into girls. It doesn't need to be spelled out for anyone but the lowest bottom scum retards. It only matters if the sexuality of the character is an important facette of the narrative. If anything most fantasy themed works just automatically assume same sex love is normalized so it doesn't need to be specified.>BilliBilli>Biggest Japanese platformHahah... ahahahhahahahahahahThis idiot mixed up BilliBilli and Nico-Nico-Douga. The irony.>the west has no genre equivalentThey are just lesbian fiction wlw fiction if you wanna be more general. It's a totally normal genre. You can buy lesbian novels and comics without issue. You can watch TV shows with lesbians or movies about lesbians without needing it to have a specific genre term. It's just lesbian romance.Yuri is just GL, which is just lesbian romance, which exists in all countries without LGBT censorship. You are a daft retard. And I am done with you.
>>4545302>Literally says hundreds>Get upset when there are only a few in a market that only started growing considerably in the last 2 years>It literally doesn't. That was the fucking plot device, but by the end they are lovers and this has been confirmed repeatedly you insufferable moron.A plot device, in the second to last chapter? I don't think so, it was an statement.>Also, you collossal fuck-up, not every story needs to mention that the characters are lesbians when it is self-evident.

>>4545273You know everyone can tell it's always you sperging out about chinese comics right
>>4545312You don't mean
>>4545312This is the first time I ever talked about Chinese comics. In fact my post was more about chinese media in general. Don't feel too bad, every party needs a clown!
>4545305Did he not see the /lit/, video-game and Live Action threads which all feature western lesbian media? Talk about going through the catalog with blinders.
>>4545236How so?
>>4545236>this yearvaguely related but i watched ep1 of that new show by the fma author since it's...fma and all...and man i wish the sister in that show was yurishame it wont be
>>4541585>Anime Original (watch at your own risk)>Ghost Concert. Apparently spiritual successor to Symphogear. There's a monk dude among the girls but he could be Genjuuro or Ogawa. Can't say for sure it's worth it or not yetThat first episode couldn't have been much worse but at least the guy in the group does seem to be Genjuro. It's hard to say if the het will be recurring or not and there was a scene with the girls holding hands so I'll give it another episode.
>>4545554So there is het.
>>4545576The MC was possessed by Cleopatra who tried to whore herself to random men, but I think that was a monster of the week situation and she won't be back again, though it's very tasteless regardless and doesn't inspire any confidence.My biggest worry is that the MC also has a male friend who has a crush on her. The question is whether he's a recurring character or not, as they fight and cut ties at the end of the episode.
>>4545592It's technically a new series and doesn't have to be bound by what these people have done before, but they'd have to be pretty clueless not to understand who their audience is and who cares about these kinds of shows. Only time will tell, but anime has already established some bad elements. If they can overcome that, great, but if not, the blame will ultimately fall on them. I've seen plenty of series that seem to misunderstand what their audience wants and don't even survive a week (Turkey, anyone?).
>>4545592>male friend who has a crush on her.NTA but that's a big red flag so I guess we will rely on you or on the anon that wathches 20+ shows per season for this show.
>>4545596>>the anon that wathches 20+ shows per season for this show.I'm already working on it, but nowadays the first episode is key for this, I think that's why Uma S1 released the first 2 episodes at the same time, because with just that first episode, the series could have sunk along with the entire franchise, so we started off badly, but if Akanesasu Shōjo improved and basically became the best anime of that season (this is not an opinion) anything can happen.
>>4545554>Ghost ConcertThe key visuals looks like it cost them a whole $175 to make.
>>4545601>Akanesasu Shōjo improved and basically became the best anime of that seasonIt didn't because Asuka never fucked her alternate self.
>>4545592>The question is whether he's a recurring character or notProbably not. The setup is for her to go on an adventure, so if they meet again it is going to be at the final arc.The blue hair girl has potential, she kinda like the Miku or the Nacchi of this series, but actually has power.The first episode is just a mess, it kinda feels like combination of all three Symphogear/Princession MC (the MC is a singer like Tsubasa/Kagiri and has solo concert, she is newbie in ghost thing like Hibiki/Minamo, passionate like Nagase, and ALSO antagonist (due to possession) like Chris).I hope second episode is simpler so there are more room to breath.Also hopefully no het, ghost or otherwise.
>>4545696>The setup is for her to go on an adventureSorry, I meant to say "The setup is for the MC to go on an adventure". Her original friends left her.
Why do you people waste your time watching trash?
>>4545707Its fun sometimes
is it bad that yuri makes me cry and depressed
>>4545707Tell that to the people in the Western thread.
>>4545687The villainous loli, right?
>>4545707Because that dude and the MC going full hyperslut to pander to the creator's "girl is possesed by a ghost and forced to act like a turboslut" fetish was nowhere in promo materials and trailers and there's no source material here to warn people beforehand. Anime originals are a gamble and the people who choose to wait before watching need info from those "wasting their time"If no one "wastes their time", how are you ever gonna know if the show is worth it. Someone needs to sacrifice themselves to warn other anons
>>4545696>PrincessionWas that yuri?>>4545720>that dude and the MC going full hyperslutThat alone should've been a massive signal to stop watching entirely, and not even give the series a second glance.
>>4545722As yuri as you can get in a sunday morning kids timeslot. The funniest part though, is all the incest teasing they managed to get past the censors with Viola and Neige
>>4545707What else is there to watch?
>>4545714That depends. If you read about Adachi's death... Otherwise it should make you happy.
>>4545722Not enough honestly, probably a notch below Symphogear considered it's aimed at a much younger demographic. You had jealously and confession jokes, a date, subtext, but the ending didn't develop any of the relationships, all we got was an intense interlocking handholding scene between the queens who otherwise didn't get much screentime together (here's hoping for a prequel/spinoff because they're definitely an item)
>>4545724Kamiina Botan. Kimi o Tsumugu youtube shorts in may
>>4545722>>Was that yuri?Shiptease here and there, it has the advantage that the normal friend showed that she really wanted to fight alongside her friend, it's more than I can say about Miku, who if she hadn't been forced, she would never have joined and fought alongside Hibiki.>>4545723Another thing that I found somewhat funny is that it has a character named Lily, who has a design ridiculously similar to Yuri Hitotsuyanagi from AssLily; it's impossible that this was a coincidence (it's like having Kugimiya Rie playing a Tsundere).
>>4545723>>4545729You can't forget to mention that they're voiced by Kito Akari and Itou Miku, Adachi and Shimamura.
>>4545730yuri fans need to stop obsessing over itou miku.
I was baited by some account into reading a volume of Mysterious Disappearances for a supposed yuri side couple. All I'm gonna say is don't. Very disappointing. Typical harem slop.
>>4545714If you mean that yuri makes you emotional because of how much it touches your heart to the point of feeling miserable then no.
Question: why yurifags always obsess with the one who looks dom? i always prefer the cute fem one.
>>4545752Do you even know what those terms mean? Because it doesn't look like you do.
Chat, is this true?
>>4545754>AKB48no thanks, i don't support business yuri
>>4545755Actually we love tatu here
>>4545752Depends on which yurifag you're asking, really. Itou8 prefer the cutest femest girls. With an emphasis on girls, rather than women.
>>4545754A quick Google search proves this true, surprisingly.
>>4545821This artist has a series running right now, right?
>>4545763We love being manipulated and cucked?
>>4545236Lol it also has very high level yaoi baitYou should have seen the fujo disappointment when it was revealed that it was going to be a normal romance series between winter pair and spring pair instead of yuri and yaoi between lords and guards
>>4545236why do people yuribait so much? what's the point? does it give some type of views or something? himechads are not that important in current times are they? kill yourselves with your stupid baits
>>4545855Works like this either write things like this because quasi romantic relationships are more engaging to the audience or the author just has a thing for feelings that will never bloom. Idolshit and so on do it because they want shipping as it keeps the fandom engaged.
>>4545856Considering who were talking about, it's not like FMA ever had a clean cut romance arcs for any of the characters. So unless she did something different in the other 3 original serials she did after FMA, I wouldn't expect her to do it here either
>>4545855I'd rather get yuribait then nothing, desu
i hate the term 'yuribait' because i have to use context clues to determine which of the 5 definitions of 'yuribait' is currently being used.is it the Hibike/amanchu/railgun yuribait where it's actually het, or is it the Metallic Rouge/LR/Yorukura where it just never delivers
>>4545862The first defines the objectThe second defines how the subject interacts with the object
>>4545862>Metallic RougeDid metallic rouge even have bait or did we all collectively hallucinate that?
>>4545754https://youtu.be/qJgIq6wTMfw?t=51It was one of the best MV, they don't make them like this anymore. I'm still mad for the absolute shit MV they gave to Akeuc-... ItoMomo.
>>4545867MR was so bad it didn't matter what it was. A better example for a show on Mars that might have had bait and never delivered would be Carole & Tuesday. I swear the martians only produce shit.
>>4545509Wrong show. Agents of the 4 Seasons is by the Violent Evergarden Writer. The FMA creator show is Yomi no Tsugai
>>4545882>Agents of the 4 Seasons is by the Violent Evergarden WriterThis should've been a huge red flag.
>>4545848Yes
>>4545865It doesn't.
How much side het would /u/ be able to tolerate in an original story? I'm working on a series that I'll be posting on AO3 in a while and of course the focus is on the lesbian relationships but there will be some hetero on the side that pretty much only serve for story building and development of the female characters. Like for instance the relationship between the MC's mother and father is an important part of her story; and there are some pages of her love interest's past straight relationships during her comphet era. If reading a story would you be ok with that or would it be a dealbreaker?
>>4545936Reading maybe, buying definitely not.
>>4545862>>i hate the term 'yuribait' because i have to use context clues to determine which of the 5 definitionsThere is only one meaning, that stupid people use it in a stupid way is a separate issue, which shows the stupidity of those people, it falls into the same category of clear terminology misused, like yuri or Milf.>>Hibike/amanchu/railgun yuribait where it's actually hetNot just Het, but maliciously Het, here you realize bad faith from author/editor/director/publicity/staff and mysteriously accompanied by a stupid fandom and this is the only real definition of bait (this is not an opinion)>>is it the Metallic Rouge/LR/Yorukura where it just never deliversThis ranges from shipptease and subtext to the sheer mediocrity of the people involved, who may or may not have seen the potential they had and did nothing. Not all examples in this category are bad; you also have a group of people who are too dense to realize that the answers to their questions have already been given and they were simply too busy looking at their smartphones to pay attention to anything. This isn't and never will be bait. If you use it for this, you're either stupid or a hetfag (redundant).
>>4545867It's not bait, it's people having too much faith in a mediocre project.>>A better example for a show on Mars that might have had bait and never delivered would be Carole & Tuesday. I swear the martians only produce shit.It's not bait either, because it was people trying to force an idea that didn't really exist in the first place. This never promised to be yuri, just some perverts who wanted "interracial yuri" and for the protagonists to have more chemistry between them than any attempt at het. It's also a separate story. The same can be said of Kamichu, where the "yuri option" is more romantic than a silly, insecure girl with a guy who didn't give a damn about anything or anyone. Those two were the "happy and romantic" ending, by the way.
>>4545962>>4545964>still posting futa
>>4545972How can people even misuse 'milf'?
>>4546003They tend to use it to mean any mature woman, not just mothers.
>>4546011>any mature womanWhatever happened to 'cougars'?
>>4546003>>4546011>>4546014A close example can be used: Lady J and Torino Kazami from Valkyrie Drive (and even the other girls) are not mothers, and if you show pictures of them to an average idiot, they will say that they are MILFs and are considered as such by other people. Ironically, you can show those people pictures of Satsuki's Mother and even Ikuyo Hoshizora and they will completely ignore that they are true MILFs and even deny it.So if you want to find a yuri doujin/manga with 2 milfs, these people are going to send you one with 2 gyarus under 17 years old instead.
>>4546014A cougar is a sexually aggressive woman who actively seeks liaisons with younger people. It's more specific than just they are attractive and older.
What is Inori working on nowadays?
I prefer the opposite of MILFs myself.
>>4546038lolis?
>>4545936If the girls in those het end up dumping the guy in favor of other women, fine. Happy het side couples are eye rolls and would most definitely skip their chapter or whatever.
>>4545936The few times I've cared about that stuff has been when it takes over the story rather than being a one scene/chapter thing. This happens most often in fanfics of stuff with lots of couples, where the fic ostensibly focuses on a yuri couple but then suddenly decides it should do a whole ass arc following some other (het or yaoi) couple instead for a while. Ugh.
>>4545936Forcing a comphet past on a yuri character sours the whole thing and I wouldn't want to read that.If it's with characters that were never involed with yuri in the first place like a mom/dad then whatever, but I doubt I would actually enjoy reading those parts either.
>>4545936Unless it takes over the story, nothing against side het or yaoi
>>4545848You had to be thereAnd I mean this very sincerelyHearing about and seeing All the Things She Said for the first time in 2002...through some shitty website that constantly buffered the video while you're on your dial up....it hit different>>4545882I know...I wasnt talking about Agents of 4 Seasons, I was specifically referring to Yomi no tsugai
>>4545821Yes, part 2 should come out who knows whenwith nearly 100 pages...
>>4546102Meant for>>4545830
>>4546046Lolis who have children.
>>4546034That's just how language is, the original term's meaning has shifted whether anyone likes it or not.
>>4545936Have it take place in a yuritopia where men don't exist. I do not understand why people can't do this, just do it, it's easy just make everyone lesbians, even the animals and aliens DO IT.
>>4545936You know it's intolerable when people start appreciating the h*tship, like in kinioto for instance. Absolute no from me
>>4546115That reminds me of Mimi Atachi from Yugioh Sevens, an adult who is married and has a child, but looks like a 10-year-old girl.
>>4546119The problem here isn't that the terms change meaning (which isn't the case), but rather that people don't use them correctly and simply spread the wrong meaning without any control, because everyone misunderstands things. That's why there are people who still don't know and misuse Seinen, Shonen, and Shoujo (these people don't even know Josei exists), or who mistakenly think that an Opening and Ending is just the song, when it's the video with the song (the song alone is referred to as the OP/ED theme).
>>4546125Yeah but then that wrong meaning becomes the correct meaning if enough people use it.
>>4546132The terms themselves don't work that way; it's just stupid people pushing something they don't understand. The meaning and correct usage simply aren't going to change.
38 years old useless lesbian
>>4546138Title of my sex tape.
>>4546124Look forwards to MahoAko S2.
>>4546072>but then suddenly decides it should do a whole ass arc following some other (het or yaoi) couple instead for a whileI remember that arc
>>4546259To be fair, it may have been a chapter too long, but the story of that arc was actually good, that said the author immediately going full strenght on the yuri romance after this arc makes me wonder if some people got upset they didn't even had developed the yuri pair enough to start a whole volume about a side couple.
>>4546264>Waste time on het>Rush yuri Hack author
>hurr durr>hur hur hurHurrrrr hurr
any other frutiger aero yuri art like this?
>>4546270He isn't rushing anything as the series is nowhere near the end or was nowhere near the end at that point at least.
Upcoming yuri doujin
>>4545936>there are some pages of her love interest's past straight relationshipsAnd for that reason, I am out.
Finally watched Ghost Concert - missing Songs - 01 and that filtered me hard.So many unnecessary stuff in it regarding femMC, if this gonna follow the trend presented in first episode it can fuck off as Symphogear successor.Especially that retarded way of how girls are fighting using male warrior spirits as their partners/weapons.
>>4545936This is a bit off-topic, but in the unpublishable story I've been working on for a while, the central theme is the multiverse and yuri (to the point of being an absolute exponential power force), but there are also het/yaoi pairings, it's made clear that they are inferior (the "MC" is a monster who only considers yuri as the only real love and dismisses the rest).Considering the fandom, I'm sure there would be many complaints not only about the het/yaoi but also about the presence of men, even though the narrative focuses on and literally glorifies yuri. (I know my people)
>>4546314>>Symphogear successor.I think this is what happens when a creator has absolutely no clue what made the original series popular in the first place, then does stupid things with the "successor," it doesn't work, and at best it's forgotten faster than an Avatar movie (Zettai Shoujo Seiiki Amnesian, anyone?)
>>4546305This would make that shitshow actually tolerable
Ban seiyuus to promote het shows like this.
Why didn't you celebrate the 20th anniversary of Strawberry Panic?
Wake me up when Sakurako stops twaddling on twitter and comes back to fix her biggest mistake with Tamao ending up with Nagisa while whore is expelled >>4546331
>>4546331Is Miator so cutthroat that if you don't aggress on the newcomer immediately someone else will, which means you lose her?
>>4546296>Sunflowers instead of liliesReee, or something.
would you say shuukura and adashima are identical or are they just simply different?
>>4546331I never finished this, I completely forgot about it for 10+ years. Sorry.
>>4546331Too busy celebrating Noir 25th anniversary
>>4546324The thing with Ghost Concert is that Sympho as we know and love it is thanks to Kaneko's influence. Ghost Concert is a brainchild of Agematsu with no Kaneko influence, so. Agematsu should just stick to music
>>4546399Is Noir really yuri?I asked a gay guy once he told me it wasn't.
>>4546403>believing an actual faggot
>>4546403If you asked him if it was gay, he was correct. It's lesbian.
>>4546401Well, that's a bad thing. Ghost Concert would fall into the same category as those projects that always throw in "from the producer of" or "creators of" just to attract attention. Let's see if it can at least survive on its own merits.
>>4546148Pinecone anon is that you?
>>4546415NTA but it already made the same mistakes as Kamitsubaki so I really doubt it.
MarriageToxin had a good yuri subplot, the mc sister had a girlfriendJust remember the main relationship is kind of yaoi ism?
>>4546426Can't help but think who this kinda thing is for.
>>4546427Don't reply to Mugino.
>>4546425>> KamitsubakiIt's over, all hope is officially dead.
>>4546426>>MarriageToxin had a good yuri subplot, the mc sister had a girlfriendSimply existing doesn't automatically make something good.
>>4546434>>4546428
>>4546296Don't trust this artist, I've seen their fanbox and they've got a lot het art of their "yuri" ocs.
>>4546578It's why it was posted here anon... as usual there is always a retard sneaking shit that doesn't belong here, for those unaware the whole gimmick of this nobody is to post "yuri" on his twitter and the same girls getting fucked by guys on the fanbox, he even managed to get some yuri accounts to repost his art (which were then deleted).
>>4546578aaaaand dropped.surprising how common this is with self-proclaimed "yuri artists" on twitter. chinks do the same thing, but instead of het, they make it futa
>>4546581I wouldn't call it common by any means, it's a very niche shitty fetish.
>>4546580Sounds doubtful.
>>4546604You can check his twitter and fanbox if you have doubts yourself.
>>4546606>> fanbox if you have doubts yourself.So do I have to spend money to find out about a yuri scam?>>"you magnificent bastard a read your book"
>>4546606I mean that it sounds doubtful that that was the reason why it was posted here. Sounds like you being paranoid.
>>4546614There's always kemono.
>>4546614Fanbox requires description of the content, should be very obvious what it is about even without buying it.>>4546615Uh huh.

What are the chances for a Witch From Mercury movie? I know it kinda flopped but still>>4546917Iirc, the protagonist is married to a guy. Could be wrong tho, the show was forgettable.
>>4546931>WfM>kinda floppedDid it? I thought it moved more plastic than normal.
>>4546936>gachatards still having the same fandom war gachatardation for over a decadeAnon please
>>4546934I think it's the same logic as:If it's not just sakuga, it has a movie-quality budget, then it has bad animation.If it's not the best-selling anime of all time, it's a failure.If yuri anime is successful on any front, then it's because the anime isn't yuri.
>>4546936They hate women and yuri and the people who like yuri are just an extension of this hate.
>>4546936>parody accountNow it makes sense.
Anyone read the manga Awajima Hyakkei - Scenes from Awajima this is based on?Any yuri in it or just phase baiting?
>>4546944The fact that people have asked about the manga on and off since it was launched and I've never seen anyone confirm it being yuri makes me guess it's not yuri.
>>4546944>>phase baiting?There is no such thing (like using bait badly) under that idea something like working would be phase bait, they literally say it in the series itself, when in reality it is nothing more than bad writing and the author is an idiot.
>>4546950>Dungeon MeshiIs Dungeon Meshi not yuri? Not the whole show obviously but Falin and Marcille
>>4546960>> Falin and MarcilleThe problem is not liking a specific couple or the dynamics of the relationship. The problem is declaring in an authoritarian and defensive manner that what you like is undeniably yuri and refusing to accept any other opinion, even when the product itself is simply subtext at best.>>4546961I say this because yuri tends to be harmed by the existence of a handful of posers who know nothing about yuri and act like real idiots. The saddest thing is that we've had these kinds of people swarming around /u/ using stupid excuses (ignorance of the true content of many threads on /u/) to validate their existence.
>>4546944Even if they started lezzing out at a super saiyan level in episode 2 I'm just not gonna bother with this show. Shit is like Marimite but slower and more boring. Hell that manga with the glasses girl feels like its going lightspeed compared to this shit.
>>4546931>I know it kinda flopped but stillWfM was a financial success by any metric
>>4546859what you want bitch

10 year ago /u/ will be crazy about thisbut now they grown up spoiled by manwhas and SuleMio
>>4547032>10 years agoFlipflapper was 10 years ago sis. Hell WFM was 4 years ago... Sakura Trick was 12 years ago...
>>4547033Don't reply to Mugino.
Well, too bad /u/ has only one brain cell that can hold only the most recent flavor of the month until it’s replaced by an even more recent flavor of the month.
>>4547028Not only that, but when you look at the doujinshi themselves, there is het within the narrative and also futanari, why not?
>>4547035Replace /u/ with all other places on the public internet and the statement would be correct.
>>4547032This would hardly have been relevant 20 years ago; ironically, the Rome and Juliet thing has been used even by the first Precure series and K-On, not to mention that theater anime that literally had one girl snorting while two others kissed in front of her.
picked up a new series today and my god its perfect. i never knew id love geeky girls so much, not like theres much out there.
>>4547032I really don’t get the SuleMio hype. Maybe its because I wasn’t particularly attached to Suletta’s design. The romance throughout the story also wasn’t that strong, Suletta seemed a bit oblivious. Overall I thought it was a below average pairing compared to any other yuri couple.
>>4547040>>4547046>>4547034
>>4547035I'm fully in favor of Utena (yuri) forever overwriting Utena (bislut) on /u/
>>4547034His posts terrify me because I'm learning Japanese and don't want to end up like him, being easily identified by illiterate posts for over a decade.
>>4547046>I really don’t get the SuleMio hypeThe hype is largely based on one of the bad habits of the yuri fandom: the final result is valued more than the journey of the couple.It's not necessarily bad, but too much happens during the series, and there are even points of unnecessary drama (the scene with the guy who gets properly squashed) and moments where you have to be reminded that the couple is important. I appreciate the result, but without a good journey, I can't feel particularly drawn to the couple.
>>4547050We also have Kaguya (yuri) overshadowing the existence of Kaguya (het) and people who think that late yuri is going to have real importance, especially with its target audience that hates yuri.
>>4547052It was bad when even choosing a series that could be considered yuri, he would pick or inflate the wrong pairing.
>>4547044which
>>4547073exactly, which is why we're getting season 2 soon
>>4547052Mugino is actually braindamaged. It's the only explanation as to why neither his English or even his screenshots have shown in any improvement in over a decade.
>>4547054thisI can recall only two strong scenes between them, there's barely any romance development through the series. It feels a very forced couple.
>>4545231>>4545267>BL tropes and writing, which do no belong in yuriAre you even aware of how many yuri authors also did or do BL? Either you've enjoyed plenty of yuri with BL vibes that you couldn't identify as BL vibes OR you only like the most "reclusive male otaku's turbo-moe idea of what femininity is" form of yuri.>>4545271>look like menYes some of them mess up their drawing but that's not something remotely unique to fujos.>>4545214>>4545225Excellent taste anon
>>4546982So there's a chance for a movie?
every so often i'm reminded of that one anime about satan working at mcdonalds getting a 2nd season a good 10 years after the first; and realize there's a non-zero chance of yagakimi getting a 2nd season too still
>>4547130Nah, the owners lost their shit after the anime aired and have been pretending the gay wedding wasn't confirmed ever since, they're not touching that timeline again with a ten foot pole, at most there's going to be subtext AU spin-offs like the running manga
>>4547141I'd rather get more PriPri
>>4547054>: the final result is valued more than the journey of the coupleIt's not really. The overwhelming majority of pairs are big long before there is any final result. SuleMio didn't get big at the end of the anime, it was big from the start.
This feel like a Tsutsui Itsuki manga, if they were told to make idol x idol.i dont like how suspiciously close the camera dude has been getting with Junna. shouldve been a cameragirl instead
>>4547046It's mostly just shipper fags than yurifagsThere is a reason certain "yuri" series tried very very hard to bury the blatant gay stuffs like every time, cos these fags generally get repelled when girls actually started kissing
>>4547159i'm hoping for something between junna and fuwari, but camera feels like he could be used for a last minute bait and switch
>>4547162i'd be livid if that happened, but the artist seems to have dabbled in yuri so im optimistic
>>4547159>>4547162>>4547164Idolshit never goes anywhere, though this is valid for both ways.
>>4547160>cos these fags generally get repelled when girls actually started kissingI'll never make peace with this.
>>4547129You are probably the only true evangelist for fujo yuri. I kneel
Yaoi hands in yuri
>>4547170Het does go plenty of ways in idolshit, though
>>4547181Only in the same circumstances yuri does, unless you have a an already established premise where the romantic relationship is what the series is about then your idolshit won't move an inch.
>>4547179Indeed
>>4547185Tiny feet bug the shit out of me. It's like, how does she even walk properly? That's why I always hated Fate's artist, because he always draws girls with feet that look like they got the Chinese foot binding treatment.
>>4547191It's not disproportionate though. She's very small. Her boots even have heels. It'd be weird if she had big feet. Plus the gap is hot af.
Awajima is p. good
>>4547196>p.Pianissimo?
A bit late to the part but the latest Asumi-chan was the best we've had in ages, I've always liked Serina but her kissing Asumi about a million times, then quitting so she could keep doing it and having more sex with her was sweet and hot in all the best ways
>>4547196Is it yuri?
>>4547247>posting dudes
>>4547247In a general were out of context images and comments from hetshit series have been posted multiple times.
>>4547274well I can't speak for those people I guess
Cutehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUU_VKLXzRQ
You can’t talk about Utena without acknowledging the heterosexual tropes. Denying this just means you’re either coping or being a retard, most likely both.
>>4547292Ah yes, the very heterosexual trope of a girl lusting after three magical girls.
>>4547292The same crap as with Mai-hime and other similar series that have hype or nostalgia behind them, you'll see people ignoring the obvious, marked and prominent het.
>>4547290Now I really want more smokers in my yuri romances
>>4547185And here I thought Marsha was only Metaphorically a Sapatona
>>4547296let people enjoy shiznat you fucking insufferable bores, this kind of shit is why this board is a wasteland
>>4547301I can let people enjoy a little yuri in a pile of het, but mysteriously, when someone tries to enjoy the yuri in a series that has little to no het (maybe one male character), then you have people who treat you like garbage and don't let you enjoy any of it at all, but we don't have the right to complain. Don't you think that's unfair?
>>4547309Wait what? What is the point of /u/ if not for that?
DRUNK LESBIANS TIME!
>>4547178I'm pretty sure it was Hetalia threads on this very board back in the late 2000s that got me into it. Like "wait why is this stuff from a fujo fanbase so much better than most of the fan art posted here?"
So is the drinking one /u/? Or just subtext?
>>4547156Think you missed the point of the post completely if that's what you got out of it.
>>4547343Definitely not subtext!
/u/, is there such a thing as a useful lesbian?
>>4547348Yes. In a mirror.
>>4545936>past straight relationships during her comphet eraIrredeemable dogshit.>>4547296At least there's zero het involving Shiznat. People who shipped Mai x Mikoto were turbo retards.
https://x.com/ryo_pa_1210/status/2042528252259074115>prude x pervy girl mangaPlease be good
I dreamed there was a species of lesbian that had bird wings on their back (while keeping their arms, so like an harpy with less teps) and they had a mating ritual where they all flew as a flock over a town of normal human lesbians to show off. They would often flash their breasts or pussy. Meanwhile the land lesbians would shoot arrows with a suction cup on the tip, aiming for the nipples of the women they were interested in. This ritual was called the nuptial flight.
>>4547338>>4547178Oh and another advantage of fujoshit is you don't have to deal with art style devolutions like this.
>>4547358
>>4547362What's the bad opinion? Don't tell me you think that's not a downgrade.
>>4547369NTA but I mean...you are comparing a franchise done by literally more than thousand of different artists with franchises that are happy if they got a dozen.
>>4547372My examples here >>4547358 are from the same fan artist.
>>4547378Sure, but the point stays the same, you will have all types of things happening when your work has like a thousand different artists, you can easily find artists that remained consistent or got better over the years and you will find artists that got worse if not moved on to AI.
>Futaspam starting again
>>4547358>>4547369>>4547378Another problem is that your "point" isn't really clear beyond posting those images. Personally, I don't see the downgrade you mention; what I see is more of a change in style, which happens to many artists, including manga artists or those more focused on illustrations. At first, they're getting used to a style, and later they settle on one that's better and more comfortable for them, which can be radically different from how they started (compare the first arc of Jojo with the most recent one). In the end, I feel it's more like your personal opinion.
>>4547415Araki does keep trends in mind when drawing as per his own admission (the switch from swole dudes to relatively more bishoneny designs) but maintains a strong personal identity still. My example I think shifted from more shoujo/josei-esque aesthetics towards more or less "generic moeshit" of the kind you don't really find in stuff drawn by and for a fujo audience (not that moe in and of itself is bad, or that fujo art can't be moe - "generic shit" is the key here)
>>4547416Araki will drastically change artstyles midway into a work sometimes, he did it several times in part 4. Personally I just think you are failing to see the range of BL artists and mixing them all together without realizing there is a big jump between the artwork quality between them, kinda like people who think Musshu's artwork is anywhere near Eku's.
>>4547419I'm just talking about aesthetic vibes, not skill. I think people with very little technical ability can show great visual taste.
>>4547424They are just training over the same pictures anon.
>>4547425....what?
>>4547357>This ritual was called the nuptial flight.Lost a chance to call it the niptual flight
>>4547426Artists will often use other pictures as reference, so it's easier for them to get the vibe as you are saying, I can easily tell for example the pictures you are posting were using the originals as reference because there were near identical expressions in the original
>>4547427...fuck, my unconscious brain had one job and failed it
>>4547434Why does she have to look so good doing that? It's inappropriate. And that hand wth.
What'd i think of it?
I keep seeing really interesting looking yuri LNs, but i know i'll never read them because i'm an EOP illiterate
>>4547440Why don't you read the translated ones you fucking retard
>>4547445>this untranslated LN looks neat>ugh just read these completely unrelated ones insteadare you fucking stupid?i've already read a lot of the translated ones, hence why i've been browsing untranslated ones. May as well have told me to go read Naruto for how relevant your reply is, faggot
>>4547449And why don't you go read Naruto, there are also homosexuals there
>>4547358>you don't have to deal with art style devolutions like this.Objectively wrong. they just devolve in other directions.
>>4547451Examples?
>>4547437It's a pretty weird anime, it's too soon to tell. The male classmate/friend is a big red flag but he still hasn't really interacted with the sister so who knows.
Reminder that good production and talented staff are inherently anti-yuri. Don’t fall for it.
>>4547144>the owner lost their shit after earning a bunch of cash
>>4547546something something plausible deniabilitynow they can keep mooching money off yurifags without having to commit, which is standard practice in the industry
>>4547547>They don't have to commit in a series where the girls are gay married
>>4547544>Don't fall for a series which is an adaptation of a explicit yuri manga
>>4545098>transphobic tweetCriminally based, just like Yukiko.Shame about the sasameki koto author tho
>>4547544Not only all the explicit yuri in this "explicit yuri manga" is cowardly hidden somewhere into the media literacy territory, and we're not even sure if they'll hide it even more in the adaptation, on top of that the "high production values" will attract completely unwanted sakugaretards who at best don't care about yuri, and at worst actively hate it.
>>4547534You know Nonke Onna is fully available on the usual websites. Don't need to post Twitter previews.>>4545098>>4545102 >>4547558Had to look into it, given this is the writer of Wandering Son so I couldn't imagine something legit hateful, but before finding the "awful retweet" in question I read that it was related to JK Rowling and instantly assumed it had to be something basic like "don't unperson people over ideological disagreements" and not "you people need to get banned" or whatever. Especially given the first results that came up conveniently spoke so vaguely about it. Lo and behold, that's exactly what it was. https://x.com/greenarim/status/2027093991204831339
>>4547562>>4547534Actually you know what? Given how much I've brought it up, maybe I should just link a full archive. https://www.mediafire.com/file/9dtxn7tv06cznet/Nonke_Onna%252C_Lesbian_Hitozuma_ni_NTR_masu.rar/file>>4547559I'm a sakugaretard and I've been on /u/ for longer than I've known what "sakuga" meant (though I always cared about animation).
>>4547559This work is not subtext and does not require media literally for you to understand the girls talking about having romantic feelings for each other, much less the first episode tried to hide anything, retards like you trying to push agendas and narratives on this board it's getting really tiring.>>4547562I bet you she doesn't even know one of the most famous and inspiring female authors ever very on the point opinions to begin with because she lives in a completely different culture where things like this are basically invisible.
Kamiina Botan has been seriazled for over 6 years, It's scanlation while not perfect, captured it's tone it's also running for over 6 years now albeit being slow. The idea of it being subtle,hidden and being this read between the lines type of series is laughable.
>>4547559Kill yourself.
>>4547564>though I always cared about animationWhat are your thoughts on Sasakoi's adaptation?
>>4547562>Nonke Onna It needs to be TLd>JK RowlingOf course it's westoids who are nebulously upset about JK "I actively kill trans kids" Rowling over things they still cannot articulate. And they will burn every ally instead of doing anyself reflection
What's more painful to yaya? Losing to hetshit, knowing the girl now fucks a m*le or losing to lesbian, knowing she did in fact had a chance?
>>4547609Definitely losing to another girl, if the person she loved was straight then it just wasn't meant to be, we even have seen something similar with Tarumi after she heard Shimamura was dating a girl, her first cope was to ask if she was dating an older woman, because if it was the case it could mean Shimamura was into them, when she realized she lost to someone who had the same circumstances as she did she just started crying uncontrollably.
>>4547609>> Losing to hetshit, knowing the girl now fucks a m*leThat's a Tomoyo, not a Yaya. These girls lose because the author/director/producer/editor/fans hate the girl in question, and she doesn't have and never will have real opportunities because, according to the work, she is inferior to the man.>>losing to lesbian, knowing she did in fact had a chance?Usually, these women lose due to their own incompetence or being too passive, under the idea of maintaining a friendship indefinitely. When someone arrives without any inhibition of a relationship, then the defeat of the Yaya is assured; everything she says is a lie, she is responsible for her own misery.
Wow it's just the first episode and Botan threw so many nice pickup lines. Ibuki's already thinking about her when alone and the poor yaya knows she's got no chance.Botan's already on the lesbian GOAT list.I don't know if I like the interested or the tongue line the best.
>>4547554This just shows that investors and the average fan are so stupid that you can tell them a lie of that magnitude and they'll believe it.
Is this going to be a quality over quantity season?
>>4547619That reminds me of the season where there were like 10 friendly yuri series and there were idiots defending WEP.
I was not expecting to see Semifriends being showcased in this anime of all places
In the past 4 years I barely had the energy or even the time to watch or read anything, but Princess Kaguya awakened again my desire to get back into the yuri loop.Can /u/ suggest some series that came out since 2022 that are worth watching/reading the most? Forgive me for being a lazy fuck but I'm only interested in maintext yuri and I don't want to get baited into watching hetshit or subtext that goes nowhere.
>>4547646Yuri is My Job if you want something with romance and drama, I'm In Love with the Villainess and MagiRevo if you want fantasy yuri, and WataNare if you want a romcom yuri harem. All maintext with 0 ambiguity.
>>4547646Witch from Mercury for the hottest couple of the decade who actually get married.
>>4547656They didn't even kiss, which really pisses me off
>>4547649>>4547656I will check these out then, thank you!
>>4547635Why, yes, this is an adaptation of a Kirara manga, how could you tell?Odd that Gochiusa, Bocchi the Rock and Gakkou Gurashi aren't there.
>>4547661>adaptation of a Kirara mangaIs it yuri?
>>4547635Brown hair is a openly Himeyoshiis on the official site so yes
>>4547666
My brain says noBut my heart says yes
>>4547698Not that I believe it's gonna go anywhere, but could be worse. Some people here like watamote for example, can you imagine?
>>4547701That's differentWatamote has a special place in 4chan history, so it gets a pash for that.
>>4547701How can a yuri community like something when there's yuri in it and it gained real relevance thanks to that yuri? Especially when that aspect hit the f/a/ns hard, the fact that the manga did stupid things doesn't negate the existing yuri.
>>4547661>Gochiusa, Bocchi the Rock and Gakkou GurashiI saw all 3 of them in another scene later in the episode
>>4547701Are you still mad that Asuka is winning the Tomoko-bowl instead of Yuri or Nemo?
>>4547701I don't know anything about this series but I'm sure watamote is much better and /u/ relevant
>>4547710Zero is still more than negative number.>>4547703>there's yuri in itX to doubt>it gained real relevance thanks to sunk cost fallacyftfy>the fact that the manga did stupid things doesn't negate the existing yuriThen maybe we should pretend that hibikek is also yuri? To think about it, it is more relevant thanks to the blue bird. And has a decency of not being a het harem in disguise
Who the fuck is this? They absolutely ruined her design. Honestly the story has gotten rather boring ever since the main characters became a couple.
>Botan author took a momentary reprieve from drawing het porn to retweet about their yuri mangaLove to see it
The new Ready Player One anime is pretty good
>>4547898I hope the characters from other Kirara manga make actual cameos.
Did Ghost Concert get better after the disaster of the first episode?
>>4547712>>Zero is still more than negative number.You don't know anything about Watamote, do you?>>X to doubt>>ftfyWhat you think is irrelevant to reality; just because there are people claiming that SAO or KnY are good series doesn't mean it's true.>>Then maybe we should pretend that hibikek is also yuri?You're comparing apples to pieces of shit.>> To think about it, it is more relevant thanks to the blue birdNo, especially when you actually watch that stupid movie and there's no contradiction when it's officially declared not to be yuri. The movie is the film equivalent of "Dance Monkey Dance.">> And has a decency of not being a het harem in disguiseAre you stupid? Like I said, the fact that manga does stupid things or that hetfags pretend their opinion matters (it never does) doesn't change the reality of a work.I'm not a fan of the series, it just bothers me that there are idiots who think they have authority on a work without knowing anything about it (like a Digimon fan complaining about aspects of Pokemon that they clearly don't know).
>>4547910I've only seen the first episode so far, but it's far from being the "Het" disaster that many proclaimed. The problems were in other areas, such as its characters or the actual structure of the series, which is worse, since if it's about concept, this series already has major problems before it even starts. The only thing that can save it is if it has strong subtext or is directly yuri.
I wish people would stop mentioning blue bird. Just let me heal.
>>4547915Or you can pretend they're talking about one of the opening themes from Naruto or Bakuman.

Ai and Junko are my favorite thing about ZLS becauss it's obvious as shit they're gay for each other and the staff makes them gayer every season/movie
>>4548285It's literally the only thing ZLS has going on right now. Someone mentioned going to see the movie and that the theater was almost empty (there were only 6 people). I don't know what that means. I don't see many people hyped for this series, or maybe it's just me, although after Season 2 I honestly don't blame them.
>>4548299>(there were only 6 people). I don't know what that meansIt means there were three couples.
>>4547616We call Yuutani Yuu a fool, but her instinct that Atori would be attracted to a delinquent was 100% accurate.
>manga starts with the girl having long hair>cuts it short really early onThis is even worse then when they do it 50 chapters in because at least those can pretend they're doing it for character development. This just results in having a likely better design just to never use it. Now I'm stuck thinking she'd look so much better for the entirety of the manga
Is KimiShinu on hiatus, or did the translator just drop it due to licensing?
>>4548312This happens so much IRL.>girl had long hair in high school>immediately buzzes half her head in collegeIt is merely advertising at a glance that they want to honk boobies and suck clit, and they always grow their hair back out again once they're in a relationship.
>>4548310It's funny when you think that it was Yuu who dug her own grave; Yuu, by chasing Atori, ended up causing her to meet Suzu (although indirectly Yuu met Rura, so it's not all bad).
>>4548285did they do gay shit in the movie ?

>>4548643Yeah, I just had this happen too. It's really breaking apart, isn't it?
>>4548635You mean disappointment? The mystery being a secret internship was ass.
This is the kind of humor I like. Good manga.
Not that I know anything about WHA, but doesn't "this season doesn't get to the yuri" also apply to many slow burns?. Like Akebi-chan. I just don't think "the yuri only happens later on" is a good argument when that also applies to lots of adaptations people accept here
>>4548651The yuri never happens later on, people confuse actual narrative that are developing like it happened with Akebi with themselves getting used to the character interactions and filling the holes with things that are not there like in the case of WHA.
>>4548651Except Akebi had some food and subtext right from the start all along. WHA? No.
And for some reason main couple is making think of Shaggy and Scooby-doo.
>>4548654Let's be objective, Akebi anime has less yuri than even modern Nanoha. People only tolerate it because tag and because the manga finally went somewhereBut if I had to judge by anime, Akebi didn't have much if any at all. This is why >>4548653 is a better argument. Because otherwise we gotta call out the extreme slow burns like Akebi that have nothing going on until beyond what the anime covers
>>4548650>>4548657These are either het or GB, I can just tell.
>>4548662They are from a yuri series which is posted on the releases thread you retard, though it's basically "what is the author fetish this week".
>>4548662Everyone laugh at this retard
>>4548663Don't give attention to this retard. He has proven to be ACK 2.0.
>>4548665I will answer whoever I want and he isn't wrong the spammer and other retards keep posting non yuri shit all the time, aside from the idiots pretending hetshit is yuri and like I said above while the series itself is yuri, his guess isn't that far off since the author does push his fetishes in the work, including a chapter with a gender bending abomination on it, which never showed again thankfully.
>>4548550Having seen episode 1 (yes, I'm behind, not only with this one but many others) I can only say that what another Anon said about the yuri couple being a subplot was a lie, since the sister having a partner is important to the plot, as it is what motivates her brother to begin his journey to find a wife and give an heir to the evil grandmother, so that the girl can be happy with her girlfriend.
>>4548666Stop bullshiting because you're caughtIf it's yuri, then you're wrong. "Not that far off" "fetish yuri is basically no different from het" You were wrong. Kill yourself, damn schizo. You want to play police while knowing nothing. You just want to enforece what you like as "true yuri" and what you don't like as "not yuri"
>>4548645Eh, didn't really like the story but it was very good on the atmosphere and I like the setting. I'm reading dear flowers that bloom in days yore and it's perfect so far.
>>4548668>Answer anon why he is wrong but not far off>Schizo gets upset because he wants to post things that are objectively not yuri
>>4548668>making up schizo shitPosting the manga in question would've been far easier than this circus act you're putting.
>>4548666Your samefagging attempt is laughable, your posting style and word choice gives you away, Kek.
>>4548671>>4548672So fetish yuri is now "objectively not yuri" and "not far off from het"The only schizo circus act is your "yuri I don't like is het, actually" bullshitThere's no scale. Something is het or it isn't. Something is yuri or it isn't. If it's yuri, it's not het or "not far off from het"You're like the schizos who were forcing the bullshit that a yuri sex scene in MahoAko was the same as a het threesome
>>4548676>So fetish yuri is now "objectively not yuri" Things no one said, gender bending however is objectively not yuri and the work in question has questionable content like that and this is something no matter how big is your wall of sperg won't change. Often authors who keep treating their works as just an outlet for different fetishes will have an overlap of common non yuri interests like infantilization, guro, gender bending, futanari, vote, shotas and so on, unsurprisingly so this work already fits 3 of those. I can even see from where the anon who questioned it in the first place was coming from because that panel is such an immature type of humor it can only come from a work like this.
>>4548651My stance in cases like these is to not recommend getting into a series if you strictly just want to read a yuri romance. Even Akebi, where the relationship eventually takes over the main plot, would be done a disservice if one were to read it with no interest in the iyashikei vibes, Komichi's family life and her fourteen other classmates, only four of which are heading towards side couple status. Witch Hat Atelier is a more extreme example since the yuri takes a long time to develop, isn't reciprocated yet and even if it will there are many other, more important plotlines going on. Its anime is not something that should be compared to yuri romance anime adaptations that just don't get to the goods like say, Adachi and Shimamura. Those are kinda superfluous but one could watch them and continue with the original material afterwards knowing what they're getting.
>post girls flirting >retard throws a tantrum
>>4548677Irrelevant. Girls touching each other in het haremshit doesn't make the hetshit yuriSimilarly. minor gags here that don't apply to the main narrative are irrelevant. Still yuri. Again, there's no scale There's no yuri that is "not that far off" from het. You yourself admitted it's yuri The conversation ends there.l The one sperging here is you trying to play police while being an ignorant dumbass
>>4548679I like your mindset. Nuanced and rational. Nice and informative
>>4548681This retard only wants an excuse to shitpost. If I didn't know better, I'd say he's an anti-yuri schizo falseflagging to police the board.
>>4548691>Still trying to make an argument about something no one said because he wants to complain about imaginary people
K I N O
>>4548703You admitted it's yuri and yet you also claimed saying it's het "is not far off". Stop being disingenous and kill yourselfBesides, you listed a bunch of fetishes that can be yuri. The only ones listed in >>4548677 that can never be yuri are shota, futa, gender bendYou keep exposing you don't know what you're talking about. You just want to police whatever gives you "wrong vibes". You are a retard
>>4548733>>4548703Stay in your discord.
>>4548731The only anon who said it was het was the one who asked about the series, literally my first post was the first reply "it's yuri but is a shitty fetish series which includes shitty non yuri fetishes" which also seems to be something you are struggling to understand since the point also was about how shitty authors who just want to draw shitty fetishes will also push non yuri fetishes.
>>4548739>shitty fetish series which includes shitty non yuri fetishesHeadcanon.
>>4548745>headcanon>work literally has a gender bending chapterIt's honestly no different than Dragon Maid, it's not doubt yuri between Tohru and Kobayashi, but Cool does the same thing but worse.
>this gb-obsessed freak again
>>4548536 (Me again)Just finished the vol1 interlude. With so many internal thoughts in the LN, do I need to read the manga? Or rather, would I enjoy the manga in the same way I've been liking the LN, or should I stick to reading the LN?
>>4548800The manga is very different, you shojld read both.
>>4548800i remember some anons here being really upset with how the manga handled the tone in the beginning chapters
>>4548822Does the manga run concurrently with the LN? As in, these manga chapters = volume 1 of LN, etc. I think I'll finish this volume first before reading the manga, if I have any time.
>>4548828>>4548834The manga has a more comedic tone in the first volume, even Haneda says it in the volume comments, the artwork also wasn't a good fit for the series at the start so the artist had to try another style for the next volume.The manga isn't even done with volume 1 of the LN yet, it didn't start that long ago and also has somewhat of an irregular schedule.
>>4547910>>4548065By the second episode, the title is more literal than I expected, but that's the problem; it's not a good premise and it works even less in execution.>>Blue hair is revealed to be childhood friends with the MC and seems eager to rekindle that relationship, that's a positive.The fact that they were separated because being together made them stronger could be a good thing for the series in a way; their relationship is cute and awkward, and Blue Hair seems possessive. These two could honestly be what saves this series.However, the opening is simply terrible. This type of series needs an opening that makes some kind of impact. The problem is that the project relies too much on its songs, and the opening theme isn't particularly good, and the video itself doesn't do anything memorable beyond a close-up with honestly cheap effects. It just doesn't work.
cursed collab
>>4548841It's pretty safe since it's just Baiser molesting the female characters. There was that Made in Abyss S2 end card by Ononaka with Reg and Marulk in the pic with Baiser, with Marulk tied up naked.

>>4548800 (Me again)Finally completed the first volume. Didn't expect myself to be so absorbed that I completed it in just few days. Really liked the alternating PoV, it's like I kept asking "what did she think?" and got answered right away. Is this normal in yuri LNs, or in romance genre in general? Also, any more like this?
>>4549113Adashi and Shimamura is exactly like this.
>>4549014i've been putting off watching the movies because i've heard people say the writing was a big stepdown from the show. i'll probably wait till they're all out and marathon them>>4549113i've mentioned something similar a few times in these threads, but i also really enjoy the way yuri is able to swap POVs so naturally between chapters. They're both of equal importance and build upon the story instead of feeling like a sideplot
>>4549164the writing is about the samethe only problem is that it takes years between releases so people forget what's going on by the time they're ready to watch the next "movie"

>>4549261The typical idiots who think they're intelligent or astute, especially when it was literally a yuri series.
>>4549261What do you expect from fags that always hype up non yuri and scraps while putting actual yuri down?
>>4549273The irony is that it's always the same; it's the opposite case. The purists who don't accept what they don't like as something yuri were the ones who looked down on the series. Those who accept the subtext, accept a wider range of yuri, and aren't going to discriminate against a title because there's no sex on screen.
>just started reading shuukura>https://x.com/yenpress/status/2045194338888540387Uhhhh, is this good or bad?
>>4549300Is yuri getting official releases bad to you?
>>4549302I've heard horror things about official publishers doing one & done to titles, and then the TL quality is also a concern. Hopefully that's just me, though.
>>4549302There's how slow it can be. And that lots of fansubbers love "support the official release" and drop the fan tl, so suddenly you're waiting a good while for new translated chapters and they'll always be very behind JP releases
>>4549261That ear piercing scene is going to slay me
the leaked avatar movie is visually stunning beyond wordsi can only hope Korra gets one movie with similar budget too, set in post series with her wife
I saw someone point out that Botan only drunk-flirts with Ibuki. Her flirting with Gujo-senpai was done while sober. I thought it was interesting. It feels like she understands Gujo wants Ibuki so she's just being nice and friendly towards her. She's quite the social butterfly and I really wanna read the manga now.Kind wanna try sake too.
>>4549326Sake tastes like piss. Warm sake tastes like warm piss.
>>4549331So the anime is lying to us?!
https://x.com/SugoiLITE/status/2045301845174992935What did he mean by this?
>>4549340Anime leak imminent?
>>4549322Korra is old and busted. Now is the age of twincest.
>>4549322Just watched it. The animation is great. The story is poop.
>>4549340>>4549341Shuukura anime was leaked a while ago, we're just waiting for the official announcement
>>4549333To be fair, in the anime, the taste of sake is never actually described, but rather that it's intoxicating and things like that.
>>4549340God please please please!Also let it be those seiyuus please please please!
>she become a smoker because she failed to get attenion of her crushKamiina botan is been good
This two also had good chemistrycan they go to Renako route?
Everyone keeps talking about how Botan should get a harem, and that's valid because she's a gorgeous flirt. But I feel like everyone is underrating Ibuki's rizz, like how'd she got two baddies crushing on her just by nerding out on alcohol?
>>4549291Nice cope
>>4549340can't believe they're getting THE Miku Itou to voice Sendai :D
>>4549423I find very unlikely Kadokawa will not go for G Witch seyuus, I understand it's common for the anime seyuus to not match the PVs or drama CDs, however I think this is a different case because they were pretty much a big marketing move from Kadokawa to get attention to the series
>>4549423>:D
>>4549426(:<
時代は「女たらしの女」を求めている気がする。I suppose, that's one valid interpretation of Trapezi/u/m.
>>4549291This is exactly the case, only the most cynical a/u/tists that are never happy with anything could've doubted Botan
Watching second episode of Awajima Hyakkei now I know why people here didn't bother with it, just retarded Class S bullshit with bad yuri endings all over.
>>4549311The fan translation is the web novel so hopefully won't be affected assuming this is the translation of the LN
>>4549304Well it's not Chasing Spica. Yen press is usually good about finishing series it acquires >the TL quality is also a concern.See that's valid
Anyone have the cake with strawberries image?
plz anyone knows what yuri this is?
>>4549534"36"/"Thirty-Six" by Nishiuma Soshi.Was hard to find.Can read right here:>https://cubari.moe/read/gist/cmF3L2dyaW1kb3RtcDQvU2VyaWVzX1VuZGVyTmluamEvbWFpbi8zNi5qc29u/
>>4549532
>>4549537Weird that it doesn't have the GL tag on Mangadex
>>4549537Is this even yuri? The written premise is rather offputting.
>>4549539Thanks, I needed to make an update.
>>4549543Based on what I saw on twitter, it's not.
>>4549545>Yama no Susume AoiHuh.
>>4549551it's the timeline where she never met Hinata so she turned into alcoholic
>>4549544The middle one was how I felt when Ave Mujica had surprise incest. I felt like I won the lottery on a ticket I found on the ground.
>>4549537Is there any easy way to browse manga on that site?
>>4549551>>4549552>>it's the timeline where she never met Hinata so she turned into alcoholicShe also stopped being a selfish and insensitive bitch, becoming a decent person.
>>4549537wtf is that website? and why cant i find this literally nowhere, not on dynasty or mangadex. how did you find this?
>>4549589Cubari is only a reader, you need to provide the raw image files or a link to another hosting platform yourself for it to work.If you click the "gist source" button it tells you where it's from. Or if you just google the group name you'll find their website with their uploads.https://mangadex.org/title/67ffb21f-1351-4caf-be96-924c4df57341/36It's also on Mangadex, just with the Japanese name.
>>4549589It is on mangadex, just weirdly hard to find. For some reason searching it doesn't bring up the version with the chapters. Managed to track it down though:>https://mangadex.org/title/67ffb21f-1351-4caf-be96-924c4df57341/36>>4549543Not the main focus at all but there's definitely a bit of a yuri subplot between Anzu (fmc) and that glasses girl's friend (forgot her name). I mean, they kiss, and there's been some buildup and subtle romantic tension between them, so I'd say it counts. It's pretty rare to see a non romance manga where the background romance (like you usually get in shounen) leans yuri instead of het. Makes it worth checking out, the main plot's solid too.
I wish Izetta didn't have such a depressing end.
>>4549623>spending the rest of your life in a nice cottage, attended by maids and ocassionally having cripple sex with a queenDunno, seems pretty good to me.
>IzettaNow that's a name I haven't heard in a long time
is inept villainess yuri?
>>4549623I don’t really remember much of it, so you’re probably right. Actually I don’t know if it was depressing but it certainly didnt leave a lasting impression.
>>4549635No, there's a male character.>>4549636Izetta uses up all of the magic to nuke herself and the evil witch. Izetta survives, but is apparently wheelchair bound.
>RL idol got married to another girlHuh, so there ARE lesbians in the industry.
>>4549646Call me when there are all-lesbian bands
>>4549646Uh link?
>>4549650blog.esuteru.com/archives/10517655.html
>>4549646I saw something in my feed about an idol getting married in Taiwan but I ignored it because I figured it was het. Glad I was wrong.>>4549647>band has 5 memberspoly or yaya?
>>4549657Yaya
>>4549551>>4549552She has purple eyes like HinataAoi has green eyes so I think she is Aoi and Hinata's daughter
>>4549456Well, it was much worse than I expected. What's the point of this in the first place? It's like chewing on a rubber chicken leg and pretending it's real chicken, then coming up with a "philosophical argument" to justify chewing on the dog's toy.
>>4549678>food analogy
>>4549456Isn't that from the author of Aoi Hana and Even Though We're Adults?
>>4549762It is, obviously older generation of girls were married off to men, had kids, etc. so the only real value is in younger generation again.I didn't read the original manga it was adapted from which ran for 5 volumes, so who knows how that ended or if there were some adults who actually ended with other women than being paired with men or be miserable alone.
>>4549799Frankly, it feels like one of those shows that tries to be deeper than it actually is. This might have worked 50 years ago, but it doesn't really make sense today.>>4549719No, it's an analogy for dog toys.
>>4549544Citrus was great, fy talm bout twin, ts was peak
>>4549719 It's like eating out a mannequin and pretending it's a real girl, then coming up with a "philosophical argument" to justify performing a sex act on a clothing model. Happy now?
>literally two girls within spitting distance
>>4549823Yuri.https://x.com/janedo_theend/status/2040408969022435722
>>4549827Basically the plot of Cosmic Princess Kaguya, really.
>>4549825do they fuck?
>>4549836that wasn't saliva
>>4549456>just retarded Class S bullshitdamn, Takako Shimura fell off
>>4549841The issue is that this work started serialization in 2011 and ended a couple years ago.
Class-S, how i've missed you
>>4548169one of the studio is like 30 minutes away from where I live hope they get more yuri projects
>>4549836Nah, one gets married and has two children, the other becomes a teacher at that school, but I don't know if she's a spinster or has children too (like the other girls, it's that or die, because if she admits to loving another, she dies)
Just a reminder that anyone who thinks Acro Trip and/or Magilumiere Co. Ltd. are good series is a fool (that's not an opinion).
So there's nothing worth watching this season besides the mangaka series and drunk yuri?
>>4549920You could consider Tongari Boushi no Atelier a long-term investment (even with an author who claims to be the only female mangaka in over 100 years) and GHOST CONCERT: Missing Songs could improve or at least have decent interactions between the MC and blue hair.This season is seriously depressing, I've never had a day where all 4 series of the day were bad to mediocre.
>>4549922>Tongari Boushi Better read the manga, adaptation fucking sucks
>>4549922>Witch Hat AtelierI hope the adaptation moves up the yuri and skips the het.>Ghost Concert could improveFrom the level it's at, up is the only direction it can go. Or it could dig itself further, and signs point towards the latter
>>4549924How so?
>>4549926>I hope the adaptation moves up the yuri and skips the het.Considering that the author is becoming the UN's lapdog, well, that could happen, at least I hope that the original is not altered in a negative way if they choose to prioritize yuri.>>and signs point towards the latterThe opening is terrible and already a bad sign of a lack of real direction. Then there's the fact that the concept itself isn't as well executed as the people in charge of the anime probably hoped. The Ghost Concert part is literal and doesn't work. It's even sadder that there's another anime this season that also uses the spirits of famous people and sadly does a better job.
>It's going to be yuri because of the UNA new level of cope
Bit of a miracle that 4chan is useable, giving that Cloudflare seems to be fucked everywhere else.
>>4549927The direction. You know that moment, when anime extends scenes to stretch the timing to fit into 25 minutes format? They do that here and it sucks. For example this scene, when Agott tries to make Coco take and fail the test. In manga when Coco asks for her flying shoes, Agott gives them to her almost immediately. She is a bitch at this point, but still she tries to uphold some dignity. In anime Coco's "please-please-please" takes way more time and Agott gives her shoes out of shear annoyance.Coco is also a retard in anime. When she first tries to use flying shoes, she doesn't know how to do it and needs a whole scene of figuring it out... Despite seeing two people use them previously, figuring out on her own how the magic works, getting a fucking lecture and practical lessons. She also can't take two steps into the forest without falling, despite living whole life near one and going there daily. Then there is weird-ass close-up shot on Tetia lips. Just why?A shame. They have great animation but for some fucking reason waste it on animating bread. And voice actors do their job well. Aside from the fact they decided to give Iguin a female voice.It's the same problem I dropped Machicado Mazoku S2. When Momo prepared for date and Shamiko for duel, after the confusion they decided it's a date and in manga Shamiko acted accordingly. But in anime she acts like a retarded 8 years old which complete ruins the mood.It's the opposite of Watatabe. Watatabe got shitty budget and looks meh, but the thing they added actually benefit the story. And some segments that are important look adequate because the studio knew where to pour effort.
>>4549922>even with an author who claims to be the only female mangaka in over 100 yearsYou can do better than to fall for targeted misinformation from culture warriors on twitter.
>>4549927It does not.
>>4549945That ruined mood you refer to was annoying for sure. But Shamiko crying when Momo smiled for the first time remains one of the best moments in anime history.
>anime Harry Potter lol
>>4549945There are lots of scenes the anime improves upon, such as all the added flashbacks with Coco's mother who was the most underutilized aspect of the manga for the longest time and almost felt like Coco had forgotten about her. I don't see the issue with Coco taking longer to figure the sylph shoes out. She's not supposed to be a prodigy who can master something immediately just by seeing it someone else do it. A huge part of the series' message is to try things over and over until you get better. Same for Coco taking several tries to catch the flower instead of managing on her first.
>>4549946The irony is that it's the other way around, even for people who defend that. It's not like there have been no well-known or popular female manga artists in the last 30 years or anything like that; this is clearly something that happened very recently.
Forget the drunks, I want more of the dykes on bikes.
>>4550003Is this in the actual manga or is it some sort of edit?
>>4550007It's not even close to the artwork of the manga anon, this artist is mostly well know for Shuukura artwork
>>4550010Oh thank God. That'd be too cruel to the yaya.
>>4550011>>That'd be too cruel to the yaya.In other words, how a yaya is normally treated.
Was there some drama with Lilies Complex or something? I put it on the backburner because I was behind on reading then when I get back to it it's missing. Not even a deleted chapter. The entire section is just missing from mangadex and I don't see it anywhere else
>>4550024Where have you been? Mangadex expunged like half their catalogue in a rush.
>>4550025ah was it with that. Does seem like it was an explicit series. Far as I know that's all that was hit and I rarely read explicit stuff on mangadex
>>4549928>UNUnited Nations?
>>4550024https://mangadex.org/title/bc864088-b0a5-4aff-8e23-c1ac5f1788e1/lilies-complex ?
>>4550029And this is all I ever get
>>4550033You're supposed to see this (assuming you don't have an account), you might have an overzealous adblocker.
>>4550037I see that on every other mature/explicit manga I come across
>>4550037ok, this time it laded for some reason. I guess mangadex is just being retarded because its been doing that for days with solely this manga and I changed nothing. Maybe just viewing another mature manga first made it show up, but that still doesn't explain why its not showing up in searches
>>4550155AhWhat a classic this was
>>4550028Yes. The author accepted an interview where they glazed the manga. Now why would these fuckers seeking to censor the medium push this one in particular?
>>4549928I'll accept criticism of Ghost Concert. But Petals of Reincarnation (the other show using history people you claim is better) is a rushed shitty adaptation and much worse. You just look like some who saw shitting on GC was the popular consensus and joined in without actually developing an opinion. How is the Petals of Reincarnation anime any better? Art and animation are worse, as a result of being made by the broken husk of Gainax, now bought by AI bros. (Benten is actually Gaina after being bought by an AI corpo named Creators X), and the story, pacing and characters are all ruined and below GC by virtue of taking an story that takes longer in manga and just skipping and rushing everythingEvery complaint you can have about GC applies to Petals of Reincarnation even worse (except for the titular ghost concert gimmick)
>>4550209To be fair, I'd only seen one episode and didn't yet have a better opinion formed, and worse, I'm one episode behind. But knowing it's going down the route of a bad adaptation, then it's not really worth it. I won't rate it higher than Ghost Concert again, although honestly, I never cared about Petals of Reincarnation. I just find it funny how ridiculously flat the main girl is.
Happy 4/20 any nazi yuri?
>>4550270Theres that one 10 minute long gif of Girls frontline (or some other gacha) about lesbians in an AU concentration camp where they develop Stockholm syndrome
>>4550270Are Witches from Karlsland nazis? If so, something something Strike Witches
I'm liking the manga cafe anime so far, but i am 100% going to forget this series exists as soon as it's over.
>>4550291It's almost nostalgic, forgettable subtext Kirara adaptations (that are not actively bad like mono) aren't as common as they used to be. Or maybe I already forgot all the recent ones.
>>4550293>subtextWill it remain that way though?This times the charm.
>>4550205They just wanna censor the "bad ones"
>>4550291>>4550293Speak for yourselves, I always have these series inside me for a long time (like Bad Girl and even RPG), the only ones that are truly forgettable are things like Achi Kochi or Dandelion, if I remember them it's only because of how bad they are like Acro Trip and the other nonsense from that same season, but something like Genei Taiyo or Vividred are always in my heart.>>aren't as common as they used to be.The thing is, it's never been so common; stupid "anti-moe" complaints never reflected anything real, just idiots who hated that K-on was more relevant than Index (it's even more ironic, when that series is full of characters more coded as Moe than any Kirara), while pretending that Hidamari or Bocchi aren't Moe, because admitting it would destroy their narrative.
>>4550348They only hate Japan in general because it doesn't align with their "positive" narrative and the nonsense they promote, while largely ignoring the real problems of the world. Anime, manga, and games are just the perfect scapegoats that have been demonized for years.
>>4550379>speak for yourselvesI didn't claim to speak for anyone else...>Genei Taiyo or VividredThey're not really comparable Its not even specifically a genre thing (though a lot of them do end up being SOL), it just doesn't really do anything too memorable and i end up forgetting about it shortly after despite finding it decent. Same thing with other shows like 'My deer friend', 'novice alchemist', 'healer girl', 'slime 300', 'locodol', 'lets make a mug', 'vtuber legend', 'mou ippon', etc. Rose witch will probably end up similarly for me too, as i had completely forgotten i had already read the English scans of the manga when the anime was announced
i think the left looks better. especially miyagi’s hair.
>>4550404They look too young.
>>4550379>even RPG>evenbut that's one of the best yet
>>4550404For a sexy story right is better.
>>4550270Fine, I'll post the gif
>>4550486It's criminal that this isn't a WebM video; it lasts 20 minutes and you can't pause it, it's truly diabolical.
https://x.com/i/status/2046591557365809644>Pre-orders have just opened on Amazon for "I'm in Love with the Villainess" Part 3: "Come on and Notice Me Already" Volume 1. It's the story of Rei and Claire's adopted daughter, Aleah.Pre-order for the sequel of WataOshi has been announced. Is this going to be the official bunko release compared to the one on Inori's Fanbox? Also curious about what he's gonna ass pull this time.
>>4550486Wow. Do we not have any newgen mentally ill yurifags nowadays to make ludicrous shit like this anymore
>>4550615Basically the younger daughter wants to fuck Lily, the pucchi of the series
Now that GQuuuuuuuuux flopped, will they make more yuri Gundam?
>>4550655If anything they just learned to not mess with U.C anymore.
>>4550628>israeli soldier x palestinian militia yuri
>>4550656>>not mess with U.C anymore.They're simply going to continue using the same continuity around the One Year War and won't attempt alternate universes (even though Zeta is better than OG).
>>4550660Yes, but this is fine by itself, GQuuux or whatever it's called it was a very obvious experiment to see if they could get away by messing with the U.C without really messing with the U.C, it didn't work, it didn't appeal to either fans of U.C or the more mainstream audience.They could do more stories in G Witch universe, but chances are even those wouldn't be yuri, at most featuring Miorine and Suletta as side characters or cameos.
>>4550615The one hit wonder novelist
https://m.youtube.com/shorts/UrlGGeNkyC0This channel make a lot short interview for yuri couplesIt feel like easy to found them
So we can confirm that witch hat isnt yuri?
>>4550688>3dpd“Yuri”
>>4550692No.
>>4550666>>GQuuuxThe series would have worked better as its own; in fact, it would have been better as two separate projects: the alternate universe with the red Gundam and the new variables that would have brought (it's commendable that they imitated the style of the original series so well), and GQuuuuuuuuux as the series focused on semi-clandestine battles and gambling, without necessarily becoming completely political, or just focusing on the corruption of the fighting industry. And since it wouldn't be an alternate universe, there would have been more Gundams (not all of them) without altering the characters. I can't ask for yuri, since these girls weren't particularly interesting beyond people hyping them up for silly reasons (look, the tight suit makes the boobs look bigger). I'm not saying I would have cared about this crap, but at least it would have been more interesting.>>G WitchThat implies effort on their part, with a fandom that praises space Nazis without irony. I think just having G Witch is a miracle in itself, partly because of that, false hopes were created that GQuuuuuuuuux would be yuri, but in the end it was nothing more than Het and really bad het.
>>4550709>false hopes were created that GQuuuuuuuuux would be yuriWhy are Japanese execs allergic to money?>Het and really bad het.Redundant.
>>4550714It's not execs. It's the staff. They have never been interested in yuri. The director and writer's projects together (FLCL S1, Star Driver, Captain Earth) are all het Okouchi at least did Princess Principal TV before doing Gundam Witch.
>>4550717>It's not execs. It's the staffYeah, but execs must've been paying attention at how (despite their blunders) GWitch printed money and tried to replicate that success. Or maybe I don't actually know how quickly anime series are made, and GQuux was well in the production stage as GWitch aired and it was too late to change things.
>>4550655It flopped? There are lots of fanarts on pixiv, tho?
>>4550719>>There are lots of fanarts on pixiv, tho?The amount of art doesn't really reflect the success of a series; it only shows a possibly dedicated fanbase or a group of opportunists who are just jumping on the bandwagon to gain notoriety from people who click "heart" and never save that art.Take a general example with Darkstalkers; all the art and perverts behind Morrigan gave the game's creators the false illusion that the franchise was popular, then reality hit them and their last project was a failure.
>>4550719I heard it sucked, but I’ve only heard that from non-gundam fans trying out the series. I personally only saw the early release in theaters as I’ve been lazy to watch the season. It was okay, but it had het undertones.
>>4550655>will they make more yuri Gundam?Yea, I'm sure the people who went "wedding? what wedding?" right after the end of GWitch are eager to do more.
>>4550718Gquuuux was in production long enough that there was a chance it aired before G-Witch.
>>4550719We recently got a fiscal report from Bandai that confirmed it made very little money compared to other series
>>4550756Has anyone examined the numbers from this financial report and compared them to the ones released during WfM's run to see exactly HOW bad Gcuck was?
>>4550759I think someone actually did in the thread of the board we can't talk about.
>>4550658Hamas x IDF yuri
>>4550731But it's a fact that it gave them more money than a girl drooling over a skinny guy with no charisma.
>>4550628It was a different time.
>>4550762So /m/?
>>4550655>>4550756Pretty sure this is cope. Westerners seemed to have recognized how bad GQ was but Japan fully bought into the memberberry slop angle. Meanwhile Gwitch was popular in Japan but much more so in the West.You can see this in a couple places. Bandai recently did a months-long worldwide "favorite gundam" poll, and released the results by region. Japan was the only region where Aerial didn't make the top 10, and the only region where a GQ gundam did. And singles prices for the trading card game have some notable regional differences; Japanese versions of rare GQ cards tend towards English prices, while English GWitch cards tend to be worth a lot more. For examples: Aerial LR++: English $600, Japanese: $300. GQuuuuuX LR++: Around $300 for both.As far as Bandai financials reports go, by the time GQ came out the gacha game was already in full swing, making stupid amounts of money.
>>4550837It's just bias towards the most recent product anon.
>>4550837G Witch never beating the "pander to westerners" accusations, heh
New thread, which also doubles as a Kamiina Botan thread.>>4550921
Okay, I'll split this into two parts.GHOST CONCERT 3, the yuri subplot remains the most interesting thing it has to offer, since they seem to be dedicating some time to it, If they ruin it, it'll be their fault for creating false expectations. Now, regarding the plot, the motivations of a character who wasn't very relevant, the music is still not good, the action is unacceptable, and the ending is as bad as or worse than the opening.
