You know what's the only thing more unbelievable than a mermaid? A Japanese Christian.
>>4586723I think it's clear Mari only wears that because it belonged to her mother
>>4586723I can believe it. They are just rare cause of the Tokugawas.
>>4586728Her family has a church in their plot, and the siblings are named Yoshiya and Mari (Jesus and Mary).
>>4586723There is a Protestant church in Shiga though not in the same spot as the Otsu house and church in the show.
>>4586723>> A Japanese Christian.I know there are cases beyond Christian schools; we have the Uzuzan girls in Saki, with two of them having real knowledge of the Christian religion (despite having powers from a Shinto deity and another with Jewish powers, seriously). There's also Buki in Fresh Precure. I know there are more cases, but I can't remember exactly.

Why does /a/ need a yuri thread?
>>4586810I know one of the TLs post chapters there before posting it to mangadex
>>4586812why would anyone do that?
What I don't get is why it matters. If I make an OP and people post in my thread I don't get anything from it. So, even if the thread is made by superevil schizo 666, enemy of all yuri and lover of idols or whatever, why is posting in his thread bad? What does it matter?. Am I gonna get cyber poison and my computer's gonna blow up?. Is he gonna get money from this?. It's irrelevant who made the thread. This is all schizo bullshit that doesn't matter to anyone who isn't super obssessed and mentally ill
>>4586816Beats me
What's an idolfag? And no I'm not reading a collage of a bunch of stuff.
What even is the OP from? Is it a yuri series?
>>4586812Is that the Noighd person who does that?
>>4586817You're putting too much thought on an attention whore who is very obviously the same boogieman he's sperging against. He's only taking advantage of /u/ being a tiny board with slow moderation.
>>4586824>Is it a yuri series?It is not. Seems like that's this particular OP maker's "thing."
My hunt for a satisfying yuri anime continues.Started Kannazuki no Miko. Watched the first episode and felt completely lost, had to look up whether I was accidentally watching season 2 or not.
>>4586839Why would EP1 confuse youAre you serious
>>4586843Idk it felt like it was trying to squeeze an entire season into a single episode. Like at first the protag girl is admiring the senpai girl from afar and watching her play tennis with the guy, then surprise she actually knows both of them already. Then the curse thing happens, and the guy is an orochi now? Who's the evil woman with the glasses? What's the kaiju thing? I don't understand enough about Japanese folklore to understand what I'm looking at, but I think I'm supposed to know what the giant thing with a ring of extend-o-bells is supposed to be and why it's acting like a Gojira copycat.
>>4586845This is what happens when a zoomer tries to watch a classic anime. Stick to tiktok.
>>4586847I tried watching it ages ago and I don't think I made it past ep 2
>>4586839The optimal way to watch KnM is to skip all the stuff with confusing Japanese folklore monsters and the dude mecha fighting and whatnot, and skip right to the parts where Chikane is being an alpha lesbian and grabbing Himeko by the pussy.Also, very important: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DC_fzm35JikP.S.: You should watch Simoun. It's my favorite.
Miku on Miku yuri is just too good
>>4586824They're from Tokyo 7th Sisters.
>>4586853That just means it's a crappy show then.
>>4586826Yea that's it! Not sure why on /a/ and not here
>>4586853If anon is too confused by Kannazuki no Miko episode 1, he shouldn't watch Simoun. He's too brainrotten. He'll come here bitching he doesn't understand anything and crapping on the showThe true reccomendation for a person like that is literally hentai. So SonoHana and Shoujo Sect OVAs. Anything beyond that: his brain is too underdeveloped to get it

If I wasn't lazy I'd re-read the Kannazuki no Miko and the following manga so I can make the Yuri Refinement Culture chart that shows the % of male characters decline per loop.
>>4586723The Shogun was very thorough
>>4586845This cannot be a serious postYou do realize it's normal for stories to open with established character relationships and connections and then explain them later right. I think I'm actually getting angry reading this.Like holy shit, just heard something potentially good might happen at work earlier and reading your post has wiped away all my positivity from 3 hours ago. I'm actually genuinely frustrated reading this shit.
>>4586889This is the same person from a previous thread that was gonna give it a pass because it "doesn't show up on crunchyroll".That alone says enough about the sort of person we're talking about here.
>>4586839>>4586845It's alright, just take it slow. Sometimes it's fine to watch based on the vibes you like in the show and learn what's actually happening later. I didn't know there were such rabid KnM fags here but it's not really a big deal if you don't get it because KnM is not a good show and is only famous because of the infamous yuri rape scene.
https://twitter.com/WC_BUZZ/status/2085274704986948003
>>4586892KnM is a great show and actually focuses on the yuri.
>>4586892It has flaws but being "hard to follow" is not one of them. It's a pretty simple show. I actually really like Chikane and Himeko as a couple and like how the show explored that a guy can be a perfect white knight and he's still not owed a girl (Himeko in this case)'s love. Himeko is still allowed to like Chikane instead of Souma and that's OK. She's not a trophy for the male hero. It's definitely messy how it goes about it, but I still like it and think it has more to it beyond the rape
>>4586895People that think the show is only known for that moment dont actually consume yuri regularly.
>>4586891More and more sites are being taken down these days so I dont want to fault someone new too much for not knowing any better in that regard.But getting fucking lost and confused because not every single detail is immediately explained has to be some kind of fucking neurological deficiency.
>>4586861The Miku pics were the best thing about the WC
>>4586895>>4586897I've watched the entire thing, it's not good. A run of the mill action show with cliche melodrama. You can still like it, I'm not saying you can't, but pretending it's some masterpiece is just pure cope.
>>4586905>comparing the show to shounenshit SeeThis is someone that doesnt actually consume yuri regularly
>>4586861Imagine the smell.
>>4586892If it came out today I'd skip it hard. But at least the main couple interactions were adorable.
>>4586868It’s very obvious if you read the rules
>>4586913Nah, it would be even better today watching it week by week not knowing what happens given the current....state of the world.

>>4587010Cute
>>4587012>:)
>>4586905A lot of it is just kind of bad but the high points still hold up. I would argue that Chikane's monologue in the penultimate episode remains unmatched as most passionate confession in yuri anime.And Agony is still a great song.
>>4587012If fake pairings were stricly forbidden, a LOT of the board needs to go. Not like you're forced to watch or accept Hibike just because of the OP image. As long as the image doesn't break board rules, it's fine
>>4586905>a show can either be shit or super masterpieceYou braindead moron, seek where I claimed show is a masterpiece. Calling out some retard who can't even follow episode 1 is not claiming the show is perfect and above all criticismsStop being triggered that people disagree with you about the show and find things to like despite the flaws. You want to play critic or whatever but are fighting ghosts. No one called it a masterpiece. Retard. Learn to read
>>4586913If it came out today, the ending would give it a legion of rabid followers for actually being maintext and sticking to the couple. Like WfM had no confessions and shit and watching an original anime not be subtext for once was enough to give it lots of fans. KnM actually has confessions and explicit yuri romance melodrama. In a sea of subtext originals? The ending would gain it fans, even if week to week discussion would be a mess
>>4587015This is incredibly healing
Two(2) days till Ribbon Hero
what the fuck janny
>>4587095I have not kept up with that does she fuck the ghost or childhood friend or what
>>4586907Why should anyone watch a show that's bad just because there's potentially yuriI say this as someone who did watch all kinds of shows on that principle and I'm not sure I'm any wiser for that
I dunno if this spammer came from here or not, but just in case, be advised>>>/a/289967150
>>4587140Because a show that’s bad for you could be good for someone elseNo one gets to decide what other people should or shouldn’t watch
>>4587107If it turns out not to be yuri, I will be so mad. I'm curious, but I'm also anxious that it will be shit because Netflix.
>>4586853>SimounHad this recommended to me recently and was completely blown away. The character drama, setting and larger themes are all top notch and all came together in a meaningful way. The way Neviril and Aaeru's feelings develop over the course of that show is the best I've ever seen do it. Maybe I haven't looked around enough but I don't know why people don't talk about it more. I'm convinced it's the best ostensibly yuri anime I'm ever going to see
>>4587215Because it's 20 years old. And 2000s sadly isn't nostalgia time. Nostalgiafags are 80s and 90s fags (maybe also 70s if they're /m/fags), so it will never be brought up in nostalgia discussions because it isn't a 90s anime aired on Toonami like Gundam Wing, G Gundam or Cowboy Bebop. And most people have already said their piece about the show. That's the thing with old shows: They will never get as much discussion as the newer stuff. Doesn't help a large, large majority of new anime fans refuse to watch anything older than 2020 as they see it as "too old". People willing to look into the past rather than constantly consume seasonal slop are a minorityAnd yuri is a niche. So even most of the nostalgia minority will go to non-yuri shows (like old Gundams or the afore mentioned Cowboy Bebop, or Legend of Galactic Heroes) before checking some yuri from 20 years ago. Yuri nostalgiafags have already said their piece about it so no need to keep talking about it
>Viola isn't Viola's real nameHow many levels of manipulation is she on?
>>4587215Neviril and Aeru (and whatever the other girl's name was) were all trash and the relationships between them were all extremely shallow and dumb. The series is carried hard by it's infinitely more likeable and interesting secondary characters.
>>4587247>the only real yuri that (besides the onee loli couple) that isn't made straight by gbshit is trash>characters that go male are betterFuck off, hetshitter
>>4587140KnM is not an action show. Are you dense
https://x.com/mangamogurare/status/2085659508076900610?s=46Cant say I’m surprised its ending. I thought it was pretty good until they got together. That shit always kills a series. They shouldve done more with Haku.I hope this means the mangaka puts more focus on the Vampire series.
>>4587258Feel free to ctrl+f the word "action" in the post you're quoting
>>4587256No one said any of that. But I guess if you were setting out to make it clear just how rent free males are in your head; grats.
>>4586810What online community doesn't?
>>4587266He said the yuri relationships are bad and the secondaries are more likable and interestingHet secondaries because of the gbshit. Maybe some of them do have yuri relationships but I don't remember. Blame the retard who added the gbshit element to Simoun and turned yuri relationships into straightBut because of that element >>4587247 is explicitly shitting on yuri couple and saying the straight couples and males are better. This is not acceptable "criticism" in a yuri board. Fuck off to /a/. If you want to make this criticism pick a show where the secondary couples aren't turned straight by a gb spring
Simoun didnt get subs back then for weeks while Strawberry Panic got like 2-3 groups subbing it This sort of thing happened for a reason
>>4587264>girls dating kills a series>they should've gone more with the hetslutKill yourself.
>>45872951) read more series, newfag2) haku wasnt a “hetslut”You’re trying really hard to fit in, kid
>>4587307>doubles down>defends hetKill yourself.
>>4587309You dont read yuri nor have you read this series in particular.
>>4587313To be fair "girls getting together bad, it always kills series" is a bad thing to say in a yuri board. Yuri is a romance genre. People actually want the girls to get together. If you just want ship tease with no dating, there's tons of subtext anime that are just that. When people read actual yuri, they want to see actual romance, so being told seeing couples that got together is bad and always kills series and everything should be limited to the "flirting" stage with the girls getting together reserved for the end isn't appreciatedPeople here complained about the Fighting Games manga precisely because it spends too much time without the girls getting together, so it doesn't feel romantic enough
>>4587307I'd say he's trying really hard to bait for attention.
>>4587264Another good series axed.
Just finished Kannazuki no Miko and OH MY GOD I LOVED IT. I did feel a bit of whiplash at first because it was an older anime, just from a different time I suppose. Once I adjusted to that though, ooh. There was something really nostalgic about it, the op&ed music was great too.I really loved how it handled the romance. Plenty of cute bonding moments where they were just hanging out and enjoying one another's company, strong yearning during time spent apart, tension, etc. My favourite part was the intimacy though. I felt like it was just really wholesome and earnest in how it portrayed the more tender moments. Lots of closeness, cuddling, crying in each others' arms. It didn't shy away from physical contact like a lot of other anime seem to, to me it really helps make the romance feel believable.Idk maybe I just have a complex with Japanese media and how it oftens gets anemic about physical contact and affection. It's so refreshing to see two girls actually be close and not maintain social distance at all times. I'm super satisfied!but now I want more...
You know, thinking about it...I've been thinking about love languages after seeing this one youtube video about it. Mine is almost definitely physical touch, seeing as how I crave it so strongly, even in the anime I watch.Makes sense I suppose. Witch from Mercury felt ice cold the whole time and I didn't like it at all.
>>4587240She's playing sixteen-dimensional Settlers of Catan.
>>4587345I kind dont wanna recommend it.......but you should watch Yamibou if you just finished KnMAnd just marathon the whole thing. Dont stop. Dont come to /u/ 3 episodes in and be like "I just saw this and...". You'll hate certain things about it but it has parts that are just so right and you'll left feeling things most shows wont give you.
>>4586839You should watch Kill Me Baby instead.
So because Ribbon Knight releases soon I looked it up a little (without trying to spoil the plot). Apparently its a reimagining of Princess Knight? Basically the OG Magical Girl progenitor from the 1950s. Was there any yuri relevant stuff in Princess Knight? Considering its from the 50s I doubt it. But having female protags or magical girls is just as unusual for that era, so maybe yuri subtext isnt too out there?
>>4587426I've seen some very encouraging manga pages flying around but I have no idea how relevant it is to the Netflix adaptationThe other thing I came across is apparently a Japanese reviewer said people who liked Cosmic Princess Kaguya should definitely give Ribbon a watch so I'm super hopeful now.
>>4587426As far as I know, it heavily inspired later works like Shoujo Kakumei Utena. Those were different times, so who knows what they might do nowadays.
>>4587386>you'll left feeling things most shows wont give you that feeling is called disappointment
>>4587426Sort of, but not really. It's been a while since I had to read it but iirc it's one of the main origin points of the prince girl archetype, you get girls swooning over "male" guise Sapphire, and I think in one version there is a girl that pursues her for a bit before she learns that Sapphire is a girl (after which that immediately gets dropped because said girl wants a boy), and needless to say all versions end in het.That said this doesn't mean that Ribbon Knight can't change things up, so just wait and see I guess
>>4587451You're obviously wrong since most shows are already disappointing
>>4587459No, not at the same level as investing time in something that ends up worse than it started, making the whole trip ridiculously disappointing and without any real meaning.
>>4587525
>>4587526
>>4587460You had to have been there in the 2000's
>Got around to reading the new-ish yuri oneshot from the Oshi No Ko author>Its just an unrequited love where her crush likes fucking random men and being treated like trash (can't tell if the Aya fucks them too or not. She said she hates men and prostitution was impossible for her, but she was next to Saya when she woke up afterwards, and Saya asked if she hated the orgy. Unless she was just watching i guess)Don't know what i expected, but it was such a nothing story
>>4587386>>4587530I honestly could see recommending watching Yamibou before Kannazuki, just for the original viewer experience. Yamibou's disappointing bullshit a season prior had everyone primed to expect the worst from Kannazuki, so the happy ending hit especially hard.
>>4587538That was exactly how I watched it in 2005Marathoned Yamibou then KnM. What a holiday season that was
>>4587426>Was there any yuri relevant stuff in Princess Knight?Nope.
>>4587456>needless to say all versions end in hetThat isnt expected at all actually. This is the kind of story that could totally work without any romance at all, so it's rather weird to push a het angle, especially for protag. Ribbon Knight is a reimagining anyway. Cosmic Princess Kaguya was also based on a het fairy tale, maybe the most culturally relevant Japanese folktale of all time. Compared to turning that yuri, giving a magical girl show a small push cant be that hard.
>>4587554It's not about the kind of story, it's about when and how it was written. Sapphire marrying Franz wasn't necessary for the story, sure, but it was always going to happen in the original.Ribbon Hero deciding to not go that route is possible of course, that was never in question.
>>4587554Yeah, but Kaguya and Lara all had a clear focus on a coprotag dynamic, with Ribbon Knight it seems more of an ensemble cast with Ribbon as the solo mc. Sure, there might be surprise yuri, but I don't think it'll be super huge or a focus.
To those going on about Netlfix bad... Ribbon Knight, much like Kaguya is an anime original financed by Netflix. They have literally zero creatice control. This has been going on with a lot of anime productions that are "Netlfix original". It's fine shitting on Netflix in general but some of the great anime of recent years only exisr because Netlfix throws money at real passionate creatives. >>4587558I dont know what trailer you watched, but the one I saw focuses of 50% of its time on Sapphire and this girl becoming close "friends". I think that's intentional.
>>4587559I think that's... 1 out of 4 trailers/teasers that show this? Which isn't bad, but I'm still not super convinced. Well, it won't be het at least.
I finished Ribbon Hero. I dont know how to take screenshots on Netflix, so I used my shitty phone camera, sorry. So overall I thought the movie was quite good. Very fast paced with good animation and voice acting. It is very simplistic because of the source material being from an era where manga story telling was still like this. Also, this felt like a season 1 of an on-going anime. The conflict is resolved by the end, but it feels like it could continie right after. Anyway to make it short, zero het. As for yuri Pine is undeniably head over heels for Sapphire. Pic related. But Sapphire seems to see her more as a friend? It's kept a bit vague, as expected. This is no Cosmic Princess Kaguya. Still while Sapphire leaves to pay her respects to the destroyed Silver Kingdom, Pine said she would visit her there. So they wont be separated for long.A sequel would certainly be nice to explore some stuff more. Also I think the finale tried to tastefully explain why this story is different from the orignal Princess Knight. The literal soul of the original Sapphire was attached to this version the entire movie and helped her out, but in the end she passed on to her own world. Sapphire directly says "You are who I could have been in a different world". So that means this story is completely freed of the shackles of any prior narrative.
>>4587537>the AyaThe crow reporter?
>>4587576>zero het>But Sapphire seems to see her more as a friendSo, is the protagonist not on particularly good terms with any of the male characters? Or even has an especially strong rivalry with?Cause subtext usually only works if there's either no males at all, or at least none that is important to either of the girls whose friendship you're trying to see as romantic, otherwise the illusion quickly falls apart.
>>4587590I wouldnt call it an illusion. Without a doubt Pine is the closest person to Sapphire outside of her granny Zirco. And their bond is super strong. Her relationship with the male characters.... I'd say work colleagues about hits the nail on the head. There are only two male supports that she really interacts with and only one has actual screentime. Velvet, the most femboy femboy that has ever femboyed is sort of a major player and is heavily involved with Sapphire for plot reasons. But his focus is entirely on other characters and Sapphire really only talks to him about plot stuff. But in the final battle it's Pine and Velvet who come to support Sapphire, so that might be enough for some het shippers? But compared to Pine being Sapphire's best friend for most of the movie and her genuinely wanting to be around her.... and like I said Pine actually sort of confessed her romantic feelings. So there is really no comparison. I dont see any het shipping potential for this beyond random crackships. I fact, another important female character, Hecate, starts off as kind of a rival, but becomes super attached to Sapphire and I genuinely think that is more subtexty than any of the guys and she is a tertiary character at best.Basically Sapphire is just too much of a plot girl to focus on romance, but only Pine is even an option at all.
>>4587590Nanoha proves this is wrong, thoughYuno is an important friend and mentor to Nanoha but clearly Fate is who she loves and has stronger feelings for. Same for Symphogear. Given Majimafag, age is clealry not an obstacle to hetshitters and yet no one has any problem seeing Symphogear as yuri subtext despite Genjuro and Ogawa being important to the girls
Otherwise found this image apparently from the ending (I can't watch the movie myself yet, need to make some time). Is it not a kiss as the person was claiming in their post?
>>4587597Not a kiss, just a hug. The still frame is deceiving. It was really cute though how Pine kept hugging Sapphire during the entire conversation afterwards where Sapphire talked to the other characters. During the whole scene the camera is panned up to Sapphire talking, but I couldnt stop chuckling knowing Pine was just out of frame giving her a bear hug lol
>>4587597>Kisstheir lips are like a foot apart
>>4587591>I wouldnt call it an illusionI meant it as a positive connotation, otherwise I would've used "delusion"; as much as I like yuri subtext as the next best thing after maintext, it's also a fragile construct.>>4587595>Yuno is an important friend and mentor to Nanoha but clearly Fate is who she loves and has stronger feelings for.I'd argue that Nanoha went way beyond what anon said about Ribbon Hero, where the subtext seems to be pretty much one-sided, and while there's a female character who has strong feelings for the protagonist, there's apparently also a male character who cares enough about her to come to her rescue in battle, so unlike Yuno he could be a plausible subtext rival a far as I know, haven't watched it though.>Genjuro and Ogawa being important to the girlsSame deal, there's a matter of perspective of course, who would be the plausible pairs for those two, Hibiki and Tsubasa?They have very/pretty strong reciprocated subtext with other characters, so it's hard to see the mentors who are barely ever there as rivaling that, but Sapphire appears to be just on the receiving end, so anyone on the giving side would be evenly matched.>>4587597In before the Akanesasu fans insist this is undeniably a kiss and the anime is totally maintext yuri or something.
Whole lotta words to say it isn't yuri.
>>4587601>who cares enough to come to her rescueYou are trying very hard to actively misconstrue my words. Why do you not believe me when I say that there is no such chemistry or intention even implied in the movie?In that part of the movie Sapphire is literally fighting the demon thar is trying to kill the whole city. Velvet helps her out of self-interest because if she fails everyone he cares about dies...[/spoilers] I only found it noteworthy because he and Pine are the only ones who make it to that particular space. Pine isnt even a fighter yet she is there fighting with her projected spirit anyway, that is how much she wants to support Sapphire. I necer said there is no reciprocation from Sapphire, her bond with Pine is entirely unique, but to me personally it's still friendship territory from her side. That's all. It's an open ending after all, with more hints towards the two sticking together.
>>4587604Seems to be more of an action flick with some ship tease but more focus on plot and action than any actual romance. CPK this is not, clearlyIn a way, it does follow from your typical action show where the MC seems to have no romantic feelings and is more centered on plot, like every shounen for example. Kimetsu's a good example. It does the timeskip pairings shit but it sets up literally none of them. Remove that part from the ending and the manga'd be totally unromantic
>>4587605>You are trying very hard to actively misconstrueI was just going off your words anon, I made it very clear in my post that I was making assumption, it might've sounded off to you because you have the full picture while I don't.Thanks for all the info though, I'll probably wait to hear a few more impressions before deciding if I should take the plunge.
>>4587604It has girls within spitting distance, so it's yuri. Sorry, I don't make the rules.
on the official youtube channel they made both a Sapphire x Pine trailer and a Sapphire x Velvet trailer, i think they're taking the multi-shipping route:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtcOzVVAm_0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PI_5W3Iub4also literally 'draw a girl call it a boy', except with a manly voice rather than the usual halfway measure, it's really jarring to watch, wtf
>>4587617Such a waste of a good design
>>4587617Or maybe both characters are relevant to the story so they have trailers that focus on different parts....? Only you assume its about fucking shipping. Mind you, Velvet is exclusively relevant to the plot, while Pine's whole deal is that she carss about Sapphire and all her relevance to the story is specifically about the relationship they sre developing. These arent even similar. One is business, the other is, at a minimum the emotional anchor, but more obviously a love interest.
>>4587617>i think they're taking the multi-shipping routeDefinitely, for a magazine cover picture they chose to have MC sprawled on the guy's lap of all things.https://nitter.net/pic/media%2FHPJ_m0IaAAAE9k6.jpg%3Fname%3Dsmall%26format%3Dwebp
>>4587624There is so much fabric I cant even tell where Velvet starts or ends. Also he is too small for that to be his lap. Like he is legit shorter than Sapphire. Anyway, this is completely irrelevant to what actually happens in the movie.
>>4587628Not every movie and show can be a winner. Just accept the staff didn't care much for yuri or yuri fans here and move on. Appreciate your efforts to inform though
>>4587630Why didnt you just say you are a troll right away? Then I wouldnt have treated you like an actual person. How inconsiderate.
>>4587632It's a different anon.
>>4587632I'm not even saying it's het. Just apparently trying (how successful it is on execution is another matter) to omnipander and in general apparently being more focused on plot and action than any romance. A battle shounen movie with a female lead, basically. Again Tanjiro from Kimetsu doesn't even feel like a friend to the girl he gets with in the timeskip. Or Deku and Ochaco in HeroAca. Never feels like Deku has much feelings or is more than a friend to her. Despite Horikoshi in the extra chapters trying to get them together to satisfy shippers. In JJK, I don't recall any romance ¡I seem to recall (maybe I'm mistaken) some people here saying they wanted a "yuri" or girl lead version of the typical batle Shounen jump shit. Well, here it is. Turns out action focused plots that treat romance as a checkmark, aren't an ideal combination for a romance genre like yuri
>>4587576I've watched the English Dub with Subtitles and Pine didn't even say anything remotely close to that.
>>4587642Why would anyone watch the English dub of a Japanese movie? And why are you taking the dub more seriously than the original? Cosmic Princess Kaguya wae the same way, the dub got a bunch of things wrong (though it at least kept the yuri intact).I can assure you this is exactly what she says in Japanese. Change the vocal teack and check yourself I guess?
>>4587642>Dub
>>4587643Funnily enough, I’ve also watched CPK dubbed, but I’ve learned my lesson. I’m not gonna watch films with english dub no more.
>>4587642Eng dubs are about as far away from accuracy as you can get. Most are too lazy to edit the lips flaps, so they further adjust the lines to match the mouth movements
>>4587645Oh no... Pease do yourself a favor and watch CPK again, with the Jap dub this time. It's a completely different experience. I mean the wrong translations aside that ruin one of the most important moments of the finale, the SONGS are all completely fucked up in the English dub. They just put some halfassed covers over them instead of the beautiful and well produced tracks sung in Japanese. It's like night and day.
>>4587642>netflix dubDid Pine say Saphire is "worthy of her grace"?
>>4587647Yea, I'm planning to rewatch CPK in original language this time. I've also look back to the Ribbon Hero and it seemed that Netflix put the CC English sub as the default sub option instead of the other english subtitles. What an absolute shitter.
>>4587653Oh yeah, sorry. Should have mentioned the English CC track is thr English dub script. You always need to pick the other English subs for accurate translations.
>>4587642>English Dub with SubtitlesAre you a deaf lesbian?
Remember to rewatch Fragtime while you're at it
>>4587656>>4587644It's comfy
i have the yuri axe curse.whenever i start buying physical copies of a manga, it gets axed next volume with a rushed ending. Then i'm left with a constant reminder on my shelf acting like a memorial photo
Is the Lycoris Recoil Not! actually yuri? Or am I missing something here? I havent read the manga beyond the first five chapters.
>>4587668Better axed with an ending than all the series that are going digital-only leaving you without the ending.
>>4587669The show creators love yuri but got censored by the studio.
>>4587670i care more about the ending than i do about owning a physical copy
Okay, my next anime is "There's no freaking way I'll be your lover!".Man this is GREAT! Why the hell didn't anyone recommend this to me? It's super cute, comfy, slice of lifey with no big stakes or world-ending plots, lots of touching and kissing, long conversations and character development, ooh.I'm starting to think that half of you purposefully recommended BAD yuri just to troll me and throw me off course.
>>4587688>character developmentIn my Watanare? Maybe in season three
>>4587688Actually, your request was somewhat restrictive in terms of what could be recommended; it didn't leave much room for maneuver. It's not that many yuri series receive adaptations; several are series with yuri, but not romance as the focus, but it is an element of varying importance. There's a reason why Hina Logi is so well remembered, or why Akanesasu Shōjo is proof that the 3-episode rule is bullshit, or a chain of perversion and unrequited love in series like Bad Girl and even Haifuri.
>>4587689Come on, Renako went from not wanting to be in a relationship to literally being with 2 people at the same time on a public stage with people apparently watching.
>>4587688It was apparently too yuri so anons don't like it
>>4587694Hmm, fair point. Maybe I should try to refine and update my criteria now that I've drunken some of the yuri juice....uhh hang on, what were my original criteria? I've forgotten. New list:-There's gotta be physical intimacy. Hugging, cuddling, not even a big kiss just physical touch. Icy Miorine and polite social distancing are the complete opposite of what I'm looking for.-Relationship drama that's not tiring. Mei from Citrus is an example of what I don't want. Cold and distant, tension is built on the ice statue carrot-on-a-sticking the other girl with tiny hints. I'd prefer something that's a bit more lighthearted and sees the two girls working on their relatonship, rather than some outside force blocking them.-No doomed yuri. Fuck the contrived, sad endings.-Kiss or confession right at the end. I guess I'd prefer something unconventional?For clarity, I'm not asking for something that rigidly fits these exact criteria and nothing else. Just if you could please use these preferences to suggest something that mostly aligns with what I'm after.
>>4587688>Why the hell didn't anyone recommend this to meharem
>>4587699>>4587702HUH?!
>>4587702And the girls that SHOULD be in the running aren't
>>4587696Only if you want to count that, but IMO the real character development doesn't happen until vol 7>>4587704It's like those 00's wacky comedy anime but with only girls
>>4587702this, also >polyslutthis is a strictly monogamy general
>>4587694>3-episode rule is bullshitwhats the alternative, watch 8 episodes before deciding to drop something? may as well just finish it at that point.
>>4587700If you are fine with movies, watch Cosmic Princess Kaguya. It will sury surprise you. Just... watch it in Japanese with the right English subs.
>>4587713I like poly stories even if I would never be poly IRL
>>4587716If we're talking about Akanesasu Shōjo, it gets really great from episode 4 onwards. Nana's arc is mediocre, but Mia's makes it clear that this is good and superior to many other sci-fi things that came out that season.
New grow up show ep was ok, couldve used more ouka x Mizuka moments though.also too much fawning over circus dudes
>>4587722i know this show specifically gets good, but it's more of an exception to the rule than anything.
>>4586861There's a part 2 to this on patron, anyone know if it's actually yuri sex or just futa-trash?
>>4587730I have literally never seen a patreon locked Brazilian Miku porn thing that wasnt her being fucked by dudes or her being a futa who fucks girls. Pretty sure Brazillian Miku is cursed.
>>4587688>There's no freaking way I'll be your lover!Only 8 more days to that Season 2 announcement or i'm gonna kms!
>>4587734Careful what you ask for. The story basically peaked where the movie ended. Better to pretend that was all and be happy about that outcome.
>>4587730Brazilian Miku fucks Miku with a strapon, but her pussy is still clearly visible.
I still prefer Miku and Luka
>>4587688>There's no freaking way I'll be your lover!Okay I might be retarded but I had no idea this has an anime. I pondered about picking this one up, but as soon as I see the tag "harem", I skip it.
>>4587716>>4587694Once your power level is high enough, you should be able to tell if a show is good from the first episode alone.
>>4587746Wrong
Dropping shows is lame and you are a coward if you do so.
>>4587748If a show doesn't even have potential one episode in it simply isn't for me
>>4587748Not everything is to everyone's liking and our time is limited. It's a harmless hobby, everyone should just do whatever they want.
>>4587746The title alone is enough in some cases. Then the summary. If none are indicative, see the cast. Then, and only then, start watching the series
>>4587748i just dropped asteroid in love a few days ago like 9 episodes in. Suzu was carrying the show too much
>>4587742I avoided it for a long time just because of the premise, but it was actually pretty fun. It's a rather old school feeling comedy anime, if you didn't like those back in the day it's safe to skip>>4587735It does get pretty weird later on but at least there's a significant increase in Kaho frequency
Finished MGS4. Pretty sure I saw two frog soldiers cuddling and comforting each other after Snake cut down the patriots internet.
>>4587750>>4587752>>4587754Chickens. Bawk-bawk-bawk-bawk.
>>4587756>there's a significant increase in Kaho frequency
>>4587748i dropped narenare like halfway through the final episode. that trash doesn't deserve to be marked as "completed"
>>4587723He's definitely the guy who will whip Mizuka back to shape. Hell, I expect him to really push her to be with Ouka more.
>>4587781All I'm hearing is you're a yellow-bellied landlubber.
>>4587760Need confirmation of this
>>4587783I like bitchy reluctant Mizuka though :(she has to make Ouka work for it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTUs829yy54
>>4587792>:(
>>4587352Why are those two like this?
>show has a male protagonist>99% chance to be hetshit>show has a female protagonist>1% chance to be yuriWhy the fuck is this.
>>4587760Does anyone think we have enough material in existence to justify making a thread about background lesbians and super small minor things like this?
>>4587822Because idiots think the average anime watcher needs a male on the screen to relate to anything that's going on.
>>4587826I fucking don't want to fucking relate to anything in general. I want to see cool characters do cool shit that my lazy fat ass could never do, because that's FUN.
i like how towa is consistently portrayed as the bottom
>>4587829
>>4587828>I want to see cool characters do cool shit that my lazy fat ass could never doAnd, unfortunately, idiots think a male has to do that. And since there's a male, there must be a female lusting after him.>cool charactersThere are only so many blue magical girls.
>>4587822Because this is an absolutely retarded point of comparison.>show has a male protagonist>0.1% chance to be yaoi>show has a female protagonist>1% chance to be yuriand>show has a male protagonist>99.9% chance to be het>show has a female protagonist>99% chance to be hetWhat the protagonist is only has relevance for the fact that something with a male protagonist is generally limited to either being gay (male) or straight (male), where a female protagonist has the potential for gay (yuri) or straight (female). The actual discrepancy is just that homosexuality is atypical and so in the extreme minority for depictions.
>>4587831You just made me realize that Samus Aran technically counts as a blue magical girl.
>they had Rococo draw a chapter for the official grow up show anthology Doesn't get more blatant than that
>>4587834>where a female protagonist has the potential for gay (yuri) or straight (female)Yuri is a gender?
>>4587825There's this thread that is kinda like that.>>4571366Just use that one.
>>4587835No.
>>4587819fartz r funni
>>4587945Some would say the only one that matters
>>4587760>>4587789This does happen, but it's just because of the emotional whiplash when their nanomachines stop regulating their emotions. It's not really yuri in any way. More like crying children clinging to each other.
>>4587822>>4587834A fairer comparison would be more like:>show has an overwhelmingly male cast>99% of the fics and fan arts are yaoi>show has an overwhelmingly female cast>99% of the fics and fan arts are going to be them getting fucked by faceless men unless the show is VERY explicitly yuri (not always helping, YrYr and K-On got a ton of het shit)
>>4587819Kansai would easily have casual lesbian sex just to get to a punchline about slamming clams.
>>4587978Kansai doesn't need excuses to have sex with Yaneko. Where's that chapter where she used Yaneko's butt as pillow and said she loves her?
>>4587838why are you posting futa shit?
>>4588014At least Namori and Izumi Ito are exempt from that curse. They only draw yuri fanart. Which is funny, because neither of their flagship series go beyond subtext (mostly).
>>4588016Namori is too much of a lolicon to give Yuru Yuri mature relationships. Mazoku is way more than subtext afaik.
>>4588020Namori has done proper yuri once upon a time, ya know?MachiMazo was definitely still subtext last I checked. And with Ito being perpetually at the brink of collapse I doubt she will ever finish it.
>>4588020>Yuru YuriOh speaking of, what's the general concensus on Yuri Yuri around here? Do you rike it? It's been on my list for a while, but I keep pushing it aside because I'm not sure what to expect.Also it's kinda funny how you guys all throw around "het" like a slur, heh.
>>4588032>general concensus on Yuri Yuri around here? It has its moments.>it's kinda funny how you guys all throw around "het" like a slurIt deserves nothing less.
We went from an excellent episode 5 to their worst one yet with 6. I was really enjoying this show and I'll continue to watch it but I hope this was just a fluke. I don't actually mind male characters at all but I thought it was handled poorly. Akane was shown to be super protective over Aoi in 5 when Mizuka tried to train with her and then in 6, they just let this stranger toss them around. They also translated "kakkoi" very poorly because I've only ever seen that as "cool".
>>4588032Yuru Yuri is just a comedy manga with intentional ship teasing in every direction. There's like 1 1/2 confirmed couples in this and they are both from the same family...>het is a slurHetshit is hetshit. It doesnt belong here and that's how wr treat it.
>>4588032>Yuri YuriThat's an anthology that apparently happens in the Yuru Yuri setting. They're self containted more dramatic stories. little comedy there.
Hope there's a Viola redemption arc at some point
>>4588110Nyooo.....She's hotter when she's evil
>>4588008>artist draws 0 futa>futa!
>>4588122There's no arguing with shitposters who only want replies.
>>4588122Nta but that's a weird position for lesbian sex especially when it's just one picture.
>>4588030It's heavy subtext with zero deniability atp. Almost text.
>>4588032>Also it's kinda funny how you guys all throw around "het" like a slur, heh.it is
>>4587643I heard the Japanese VA for Sapphire was REALLY mediocre. Wasn't there controversy over the casting?
>>4588154She's a comedian and not a voice actress, yeah. Still better than dubs rewriting shit
>>4588167For a moment there I thought it was MaoMao
>>4588154>>Wasn't there controversy over the casting?I would have to watch that to judge for myself, since I have seen several anime series with poor to mediocre performance, although the worst so far, even worse than that AKB which is terrible in all its roles, has been with Gridman universe in general, I have never heard such incompetent people in my life, especially the girls, I can swear that they did everything in one take and stopped trying.Anything that isn't at that level is fine by me.
>>4588167I love realistic female bodies in art. She's got a really cute butt.
>>4588185
>>4588126Obviously. But subtext nontheless.
>>4588154I don't know about any controversy, but Sapphire's voice is quite unique. Like I never would have expected that to come out of girl this cute looking. But I think that isn't a bad thing. Especially in her Princess Knight form where she is meant to be a bit more androgynous, that voice actually fits her quite well. I guess you could say her voice is a bit floaty? But maybe I just didn't mind it because the world is so fucking weird anyway. You got Zirco who is a tiny gremlin and flies on a hovercar talking with that ultra specific inhuman masoct voice etc.If anything I was really confused by a certain line delivery by Pine during the climax. I think that actress isn't very good at shouting...
Will try to watch Ribbon Hero tomorrowBut based on the lack of discussions and not having its own thread, I'm guessing it didnt exactly break any barrier
>>4588321Well, considering it turned a classic original het story into arguably major yuri subtext, it certainly did something right.
>>4588154It's so bad that some Japanese viewers have been switching over to watching the English dub + JP subtitles.
>>4588321Let us know how your thoughts then, anon.
>>4588325Ribbon Hero, not Cosmic Princess Kaguya
>>4588332
>>4588350Exactly. CPK is just full on yuri. Ribbon Hero is subtext.
hot yuri seggshttps://files.catbox.moe/mlkgsa.jpghttps://exhentai.org/g/4111098/89515c0ace/
>>4588354>Ribbon Hero is subtext.Is not even subtext.
>>4588362True, Pine's confession was textual. It's kinda above subtext.
>>4588354Is subtext in the same way something like Kimetsu is if we remove the forced pairings at the endingLike Kill la Kill if we remove the Ragyo rapes and molestations. For all that people swear by Ryuuko and Mako or Ryuuko and Satsuki, I see the show too focused on plot and action to have any real romance subtext or not
At this point i feel all posters are mugino,You cannot be so obtuse as to see things where they aren't.
>>4588366Your inability to perceive yuri even when it is this obvious mostly just makes you look stupid. It's also very telling that you use het romance from shounen anime that wasn't set up compare to Kill la Kill or Ribbon Hero where the entire story developes the relationship of said pairing. Maybe go back to /a/ where you clearly should have stayed from the start.
>>4588369So was the anon who first made the report wrong about Saphire being mostly plot focused and feeling like she doesn't love Pine as much as Pine loves her (I'm not saying she's het, mind you. Thus my comparison to the similarly unromantic and action focused Kimetsu. Sorry that I don't have many girl lead examples of a show so extremely focused on it's action plot)?. The movie is too long I don't have time to watch it yet, so I had to trust the reports here and elsewhere that it's basically unromantic and far from something like KaguyaPeople here see Revue as non-yuri and I see Revue fans with low enough standards to see that as yuri claim Ribbon Kishi is not yuri,
>>4588372>I haven't watched the movie, but I keep making definitive statements and comparisonsNot helping to avoid your dumbass status anon...Also you already showed your opinion is untrustworthy the moment you tried to say Kill la Kill's Ryuko/Mako pairing is comparable to trash like Demon Slayer.Come on, I assume you actually watched Kill la Kill, though that is also in doubt now. Why don't you tell us exactly how the relationship wasn't set up or came out of nowhere? How there is no romance subtext. Or could it be your brain works even worse when there are too many flashing lights to distract it? Is that why you blame your lack of perception on action shows and plot?
>>4588372Just wait until you have time to watch it but you have to lower your standards to really low levels to see anything close to subtext.
Speaking of dubs, whoever decided that Kansai-ben should be rendered as American Southern English should be marooned on the moon.
>>4588372>RevueAlso are those low standards Revue fans who also allegedly watched the movie in the room with us?>>4588375I am fairly confident you didn't watch it.
>>4588374Mako being a goddamn meme character from start to end when the rest aren't. A character like Mako can only be yuri in a meme comedy, not a girl lead shonen battle show. Her status as joke meme character makes it hard to take seriously any relationships or romance. They're all jokes like Kuroko in Railgun (difference is Ryuuko is not confirmed straight like Misaka) but even Kuroko can be a serious character. >>4588375So then are >>4588374>>4588369 wrong for getting so angry because I interpret and expect the movie to be an action festa with barely any shipping? Should I expect average subtext or nothing like I was claiming? Stop contradicting yourselves, you people. This is why it's hard to take opinions or recs here seriouslyYou have several retards with contradictory views trying to stablish their views as absolute truth>reee how dare you claim Riboon Kishi is action focus and barely subtext>no lower your standards, or you won't see anything remotely close to subtextThe only consistency is that it's not het>>4588377They're on twitterhttps://x.com/NINtendo_maya/status/2086373873440932018https://x.com/NINtendo_maya/status/2086306042904977907https://x.com/NINtendo_maya/status/2086306040031887617
>>4588378>Mako is just a meme character, thus no yuriGood. You have proven without a doubt you don't understand what you're talking about. Kinda rough how you publically humiliate yourself like that, but at least nobody will take you seriously now.
>>4588376True, it should be a cordobés accent.
>>4588376Aw shucks, y'all don't like souther accents? You have yee'd your last haw, pardner.
>>4588372>People here see Revue as non-yuriAnd they're retards. >>4588376what would you translate it as, in a way that is distinguishable in text?
>>4588014This is why CUNE is the official /u/ magazine of choice
>>4588378
>>4588420Well, when retards here are being contradictory and I don't know who's trustworthy, I need to go elsewhere to know what to expect
>>4588422To be fair, People from X are also being contradictory about it.
>>4584195Red riding hood anime just got announced lolit doesn't look yuri though
But does Grok say it's yuri?
>>4588422Stay on Shitter if you value their opinions so much.
>>4588422How about you use your own fucking brain instead of taking the word of faggots on the internet?
>>4588445I'd value the opinions here if I could know what to trust. But again: contradiction>>4588446I already said I've no time and this is about what to expect before watching whenever I canReading a few posts takes less time than the almost 2 hours movie
>>4588447>Reading a few posts takes less time than the almost 2 hours movieIt doesn't.
>>4588448If you aren't a retard, it only takes a few seconds to read a few postsA few seconds is less time than 2 hours. If it takes you 2 hours, you have a problem and is not my fault you read ultra slowly. Can you even keep up with subs?
>>4588451>it only takes a few seconds to read a few postsAnd it takes hours for those posts to appear. This isn't /v/.
Honestly I’m not that big on Mako either or any KLK shipsSome characters just don’t tickle the shipping part of the brain
>>4588452And during those hours, I'm doing something elseI don't have the almost 2 hours of continous free time needed for the movie
>>4588452Thank fuck for that.
>>4588454Then how would you watch it if it was yuri?Just admit you're shitposting and move on.
>>4588443
>>4588456I would watch it when I get time. Just because I didn't until now, it doesn't mean I never willl, you moronIs it hard to understand? Not everyone can have time to watch a movie day 1 or 2 or 3
>>4588458Case closed.
>>4588459And literally all you have to do is not talk about or make claims about a movie in a discussion when you have neither seen it nor researched it. Stop playing the victim and take accountability for your posts. Instead of complaining about "contradictions" (your own fault for taking a troll who hasnt watched the movie seriously when he says there is no subtext), you should just not discuss this movie at all till you know better.
>>4588458>Believing in grok.
>>4588462I have researched it. Seeking opinions is research>trollIs the guy who first claimed to have watched it here a troll? Because he said the whole thing felt one-sided and there's never any sense of Saphire seeing Pine as more than a friend. Subtext needs reciprocation, y'know?. That post about Saphire being focused on the plot and thus her relationship with Pine feeling one-sided is part of why I made the claims I did
groke yuri
>>4588446>How about you use your own fucking brain instead of taking the word of faggots on the internet?You mean leave /u/?
>>4588465You fucking moron. A single line about how it feels more like Sapphire sees Pine as a friend does not amount to all that bullshit. In the follow up posts it was explained more than enough that the goddamn subtext is there you fuckwad. How can you not comprehend that Pine's feelings are EXPLICIT, so the only subtext came from Sapphire's side. Now shut the fuck up about the movie you dont know anything about.
>>4588468You retard. RELAITONSHIPS ARE RECIPROCAL. ONE SIDED SHIT IS WORTHLESSSubtext is only such if reciprocated. And the posts >>4587591>>4587576Paint Saphire as not reciprocating nearly equally strongly. NanoFate in their best days are worth it because both girls reciprocate and feel strongly about the otherIf one of the girls is "too much of a plot girl to focus on any romance", then the whole thing is worthlessSo are these posts accurate. Are they the troll?
>>4588468Pine is the one that says they will be friends forever, Why do you want everything to be Yuri when we have plenty, just stop being a weirdo and don't get angry about a mediocre movie.
>>4588469You are too retarded to read. You are too retarded to even perceive obvious yuri like Ryuko/Mako. You are the worthless one.You regressive monkey, it's fucking subtext because the feelings are not explicitely reciprocated. Do you even know how words work or is that also too high level for your peanut brain? This is why you should kill yourself instead of posting here. If you watched the fucking movie you would understand how the relationship is build up and understand this basic shit. Or maybe you wouldnt. After all you are basically too stupid to see yuri unless the girls say they are gay while they french kiss.
>>4588472Stop watching the English dub.
>>4588473You can have subtext where it feels the relationship is equal even if still not explicit. Again: NanoFate feels like an equal relationship. None of the girls are "plot girls who don't focus on romance". Same for HibiMiku or Ange/Princess in Princess Principal (the TV show. With all the wait between movies, I'm waiting until they're all out to watch them, as otherwise I'd forget between movies and would have to rewatch anyways)
>>4588472To be fair, we have evidence of Pine saying Love>>4587576 Open the image in this post. It's literally an screenshot of official subs
>>4588474I don't know Japanese but i remember hearing tomodachi,so if you can come with a better translation i would take back all i said.
>>4588479She also said they are friends plenty in the movie, because duh. The point is that she told her that she loved her, without pushing for a reply. It's just out there. It was a stressful situation of course. I think Pine would be fine staying friends if Sapphire wanted that, but we simply don't see them ever address it. But we do know Pine will follow Sapphire to her old kingdom. Put 1 and 1 together.
>>4588476NanoFate are the definition of "action girls who dont focus on romance" you retarded ape. You are just making up imaginary paramaters so you can pretend to be right.
>>4588481If you truly think this, you have no right to call me out for not seeing yuri or whatever because of KlKNanoFate are better than any KlK pairingYou're just a moron who can't analyze the feelings on screen. And I'm talking about their best days. So before the shitty reboot timeline that doesn't give them time to interact
>>4588480>HeadcanonAgain i don't think scratching for subtext for this movie is good for this board, yes you can ship them but claiming that "confession" is enough to call it subtext when we have plenty of examples this does not mean shit.
>>4588483Brainless.
>>4588482You are the fucking morong who cant understand that there can be subtext despite characters being plot focused and never openly confessing their love, like NanoFate, disphit.
>>4588490You're the one who fails to understand relationships need to feel reciprocal and equal and claims subtext can exist with a meme character or a confession to a plot focused characterYou're the one who claimed it doesn't feel like Saphire ever cares beyond friendsNanoFate meanwhile, while also subtext feel reciprocal and like they both equally care about the other. It's not one sidedYou want to act like an expert but you're the retard who doesn't understand shit
>>4588491You are completely delusional, making up absurd nonsense. How is "best friends" not recicporcal care you piece of shit? How is the relationship not "equal"? You already admitted that one side having confirmed feelings is fine before, so what is this supposed imbalance monkey? Come on, try to make it make sense. You can't because you just want NanoFate to be a thing, but dont care about Ryuko/Mako. And in the same way you try to argue about a pairing you dont even fucking know, based on nothing. Kill yourself. Nothing left to say.
Any time two people argue here my protip is to ship them.It makes a minor annoyance cute.
>>4588493I never said one side having confirmed feelings was fine. I always side it needs balance and to be reciprocated. Oherwise the difference with shit like Railgun is that it's not het. But yuri isn't defined by the absence of het. Again NanoFate feel like they both care about each other .I wouldn't descirbe any of them as "plot girls with no time for romance"Unless you take that back about Saphire, what you descirbe is not even subtext. Just one sided ship tease. For subtext, you need to feel romance from Saphire too not just "plot focus" So is Saphire pure plot or not? Stop being this desperate to defend your shitty movie when you need confessions to even consider subtext

Alright I watched Ribbon Hero. It might produce a bit of yuri fanart here and there, but I honestly don't see a genuine yuri community forming around this. I must warn you that the characters are VERY basic. I've got other complaints about the film but yuri wise, the biggest hindrance to any potential shipping is just how shallow the characters are. I understand the argument that people on this board ship characters for less than what this film had, but I truly don't see them sticking around in anyone's thoughts a week after watching it, let alone months or years. Someone above mentioned Revue, I think the MC might have less going for her than Karen...This might sound harsh but trust me, I've seen much harsher reviews especially from the japanese. I don't regret watching it, certainly not as bad as some things I've seen recommended or shilled here, but I'm just letting you know if this doesn't catch on with yuri fans there is a reason why.
>>4588541>I've seen much harsher reviews especially from the japaneseto be fair, those are mostly because of the VA drama
>>4588542Nah I've seen a lot of complaints about the story presentation and script. Or how the connection to the original work is paper thin and it would've been better as its own brand new IP. But I won't do a deep dive on those issues since they're not what I think is the reason this won't blow up among yuri fans.
This talk about AI made me curious about using it to create the sloppiest yuri LN possible. Feed it dozens of adashima-adjacent LN volumes and ask it to write something similar...
>>4588565Fuck off.
>>4588541Just finished Ribbon Hero here too and....yeah, it wasn't great. So many weird little things that just felt out of place, like that completely inappropriate comedic fight with the horse, the "tribute" that was totally has my respect but it was just jarring in that moment, and what even was the point of Velvet crossdressing?HOWEVER, I still liked it. It was a visual feast, it's got some cool action scenes with a female protag and her closest person was clearly another girl (and granny), and there's enough crumbs to think Pine caught the feels and they'll meet again so eh, good enough.>>4588542Watched the sub and I got....no idea where the VA drama could be from. There may have been a few odd sounding moments but I can't tell if it's a real issue or I'm just hearing things because I heard about the drama going in.
>>4588572>what even was the point of Velvet crossdressing?There was absolutely no point. Should've just been another girl for Sapphire to interact with because him looking and dressing like a girl didn't matter at any point in the film.
>>4588541>>4588572So are you trolls? Or can we finally admit this is a girl lead version of those shonen ultra focused on the fighting (Kimetsu, JJK) with shallow characters and no romance. Seriously annoying how much that one anon goes "you need to see the movie, it's great subtext on the level of Nanoha at it's best" and these are the reports that keep coming out
>>4586824It has a canon lesbian pedophile if that is what you want to know.
>>4588709you will never be kanamemo
>>4588572Meh, I was curious about it but guess i'll skip it this time, thanks for the info.
I want real vampire yuri, none of that "I won't drink your blood because I'm actually good UwU" shit.
>>4588749is girls x vampire not good enough?
I like when bookstores have yuri sections, because you can tell if they ball or not depending on how many series they put there that aren't officially marketed as yuri.
>>4588763This gotta be the worst yuri corner I've ever seen and not just because is english trash.They can't even spell Girls Love.
>>4588749I really liked that one that was cannedThe one where one of them is a hunter
>>4588763Oldboy was a weird movie. Still don't get why it's held in such high regard.
>>4588768Scarlet?
>>4588770Maybe because it was weird.
>>4588808Really wish this was a thing.
>>4588833Be the change you want to see in the world; get two female cats and get them to smoke while cuddling.
>>4588864theyre going to catch a cold (lethal for japs)
>>4588572>what even was the point of Velvet crossdressingI read in jp comments that the VAs for several characters were picked on account of their fame rather than skill, not just the MC, makes me wonder if they randomly cast a popular dude to play what was supposed to be a girl just to give him a prominent role, like in the pop team epic anime.
>>4588871That's probably it. Wanted to include some m*le star power, since his voice was instantly...well I dont actually know who but it felt like one of those "star" voices the same way someone like Lelouch's voice was instantly recognizable as well known.
All men sound the same to me.
>forces herself on a schoolgirl (twice)>gets arrested for public bathroom sex with Yani>schoolgirls are having pretend sex in her apartment to impress herThe human turns out to be the most evil character of them all.
>usually dislike most CGDCT yuri anime >but like most CGDCT yuri mangaSomething about the pacing just ruins it for me, especially if it's a 4koma. I'm not usually an ADHD zombie who gets bored with slowburn shows, maybe it's just that a lot of CGDCT series don't have a ton of substance or character depth to make up for the extended downtime an anime adaptation adds. It's especially bad with the shy characters imo, reading a character go "t-t-thanks" is cute, but watching it and sitting through them doing it constantly gets really old
>>4588966You watched hetshit series and got hetshit? How could this happen to you!
>>4588938That's good for you. Or bad, idk. There's a lot of different flavours of yuri out there and as long as you have something to watch and/or read, isn't that good for you?
Has anyone else watched this new Chinese movie in picrel. Honestly was not expecting to find yuri in this one but it was very tasteful provided your goggles are thick enough.
>>4589061You're better off asking about this in the live action thread.
>>4588875I am pretty sure the reason is that they wanted to have their own spin on "androgynous character who defies gender norms", as Sapphire doesnt really stand out anymore by wearing pants and taking on the knight role like she did in the 1950s.
>>4588765You are just a contrarian moron. Nearly all the series on that shelf are excellent yuri manga. Actual normies who dont get yuri would never have such a good selection.
>>4588642Just shut the fuck up and watch the movie.

>>4589087you got math wrong, 8th year of Reiwa is 2026
>>4589083Just accept it's unromantic action movie. Unless you want to say all the reviews and everyone I see here and outside talking of shallow characters and action focus are utterly wrong and the relationship beetween Saphire and Pine is properly fleshed outAre you also gonna claim I need to watch the movie before calling Velvet a dude? Some things (like a movie not dedicating much time to charater or relationship. Focusing on action and thus having shallow or not romance at all) are facts you don't need to watch to comment on
>>4589081>Sapphire doesnt really stand out anymore by wearing pants and taking on the knight role like she did in the 1950s.She could still stand out if they made properly butch
>>4588763Wait wait, stuff like this actually exists in english-speaking countries? I haven't set foot in a bookstore in decades but omg this looks like heaven.
>>4588763>SHWDIt's such a shame this is so short we need more yuri with huge beefy women
>>4589111>properly butchEveryone would just say it's a guy labeled as a woman. There's no respect for the butch. All you get is "tomboys" (short haired femmes).
>>4589196Eastern countries just really don't like too masculine features, for both their men and their women. You'll have to wait for them to warm up to macho guys before you can dare hope for butches.
>>4589187I was shocked when I went into a fairly small franchisee of a big national bookstore in a mall during Christmas and How Do We Relationship was prominently displayed and advertised in the middle of the score, opposite the registers. Its own standee shared with a few other other rando manga/books.Sadly it was in dogshit-quality tiny pocketbook form where you have to squint to see shit, so I did not buy it. I already bought the series digitally so it'd need to be nice collector's edition for me to buy it. I didn't even know it was licensed where I live (small European country).
>>4589204I mean... then there's Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl which is a few chapters about>haha Handsome Girl looks like a guy (not really) and Sheltered Girl doesn't get that she dates a womanand it was fucking awful.
>>4589204That's kinda the reason why I like Japanese drag kings and crossplayers. You get the whole ikemen (female) vibe while still having thin shoulders full lips. Full butches make me gag.
>>4589111Nobody cares about butch girls. Not even self-proclaimed butch lovers. Every time and actual butch girl appears in anything people either think she is a dude for real or the writer wants to "subtvert the stereotype" and makes her hyper straight. I think the only semi-mainstream counter example I have ever seen is Scorpia in She-ra. She is not officially straight and has some implied gay moments with some girls. And she still looks like a woman. Exceptions support the general rule.

Is Seiran gonna get accidentally killed by Mimi during their duel to show Sheena the horrors of war? I feel like things have been going too well for Sheena as of late and she's due for some misery, but Seiran and her brown girlfriend are the only reasons why I'm still watching this show.

>GB trash
>recent yuri anthologies I've read>girl tells her girlfriend she betrayed her with a man>both girls have boyfriends>girl fucks a man because she felt lonely, they keep talking about it while having sexIt's all so tiring. Even when there is a good story the whole volume is ruined by these retarded authors writing hetshit and retarded editors greenlighting it.
Hint to the mods: wordfiltering the filename "oyama mahiro" would prevent that.
>>4589972>yuri anthologies>girls with boyfriends, or who have sex with menOne of the above statements is false.
>>4590031I know, you should say it to the publishers.
>>4587783>He's definitely the guy who will whip Mizuka back to shape. Hell, I expect him to really push her to be with Ouka more.Hey, I almost nailed it. He wants Ouka to be with Mizuka more.
How much money would Ouka have to pay to get Mizuka to finger her?
>>4589972hate it when the rest of the anthology is good, but then theres just one or two really bad ones. Stops me from buying a copy
>>4590086Well, the problem is you won't know about these stories until you've already bought and read it because they'll never advertise it by saying there's het in it.>anthology is good, but then theres just one or two really bad onesThis happens more often than not. It makes it look like they have a het quota to respect. I have no idea what goes through the mind of an author that must draw a story for a yuri anthology and all they come up with is a het story.
https://x.com/bddd777/status/2088598762872861073?s=20
>>4590093Time to start pirating first. If they have no het, buy it to encourage them. If there's het, don't give them money and let them die. And leave reviews warning other people
>>4590149That's what i do, First i download the anthology from raw-zip and if i like it i buy it to support the artists.
New episode was pretty good.maybe i'm dumb, but what did mizuka mean when she said "after what just happened, i see it now" before saying she was going to quit? Is she referring to understanding why she only wanted to perform for the black lotus circus, or is it because she thinks she's not cut out to be a performer after being shown up?

Would you watch a maintext show where the main couple is yuri and done well but all the other side couples are het?
>>4590294as long as the main couple is the focus of the show. im not sitting on standby if the yuri couple is sidelined for half the season
>>4590267No, is actually not. It relies a bit too much on the viewer being "in the know" of tropes to be enjoyable. I'd suggest something more serious like YagaKimi.
>>4590267I should rewatch it. It's been literally 20 years and I don't remember a thing
>>4590294Yes but I echo what >>4590296 said. Het doesn't bother me as much as others in this thread would (it just bores the crap out of me)

>>4590242You're read cinema. Rushed ending but still cinema.
>>4590332man i really like this mangaka but i did want to gatekeep her from some people.
>>4590294>>maintext show>>main couple is yuri>>other side couples are hetThere are several problems there; more than a yuri series as such, it seems like those romantic drama series where the main couple happens to be yuri, but it's not a proper yuri series.I would watch it, but that means I would actually care about it as a series. The main couple would have to be too memorable to endure the kind of mediocre romance that I already hate seeing in rom-coms, harems, or adaptations of shonen/seinen magazines whose authors pretend they are romance series.
>>4590293Finally, I have an excuse to post this.
>>4590293All this time, I was blind...
>>4590278What the actual fuck, has it really been that long?
>>4590278Out of all original shows about girls we've had in recent years, this has to be the worst and most disappointing one, more so considering the staff behind it

I wish I could believe that goodbye lara is gonna be yuri but the author being like "I didn't want to write a typical 'yuri' and then introducing the prince gives me serious jellyfish vibes
>>4590468>>jellyfish vibesAre you talking about that silly series about inner beauty or the one that didn't anything Het, Nothing Het happened, and did a lot of yuri things with its characters, and people criticize it stupidly for not being what they wanted in their heads.
>>4590468I'm not following Goodbye Lara but so far I'm more disappointed with the Circus show. There is some yuri but not enough, they'll probably play Mizuka's and Ouka's relationship as a gag till the end.
>>4590476I hope not.....I remain more hopeful than I do for Goodbye lara
>>4590468He said that because he thinks yuri is happy coming-of-age stories and he wants this to be a tougher more realistic story.
>>4590492She only got wet when pushed into the water. And the ending, which would signify her running out of time like her sister because she didn't discover true love yet, but that just indicate that even Luca's confession wasn't enough to give Lara strong enough feelings to overcome the potions' time limit.Otherwise there was a lack of her light in the scenes with him, including the confession. And when it showed up, it was connected to the old prince and her fear and trauma over him trying to kill her and her feelings turning into a dagger that tried to kill himThe light is too central to the plot (the whole point is her manifesting it's full power to restore the mermaid kingdom), they can't have just forgotten to include it. It not being there is intentional
>>4590468>>4590479I don't think i've ever said this unironically, but you have zero media literacy skills if you genuinely think the prince is her true love. Like actually zero, the show isn't exactly subtle about its symbolism >>4590476It's already confirmed the Russian girl and Ouka's ex-catcher are in a relationship, so its already yuri. I doubt the main duo will form an explicit relationship, because it's not a romance series, so they usually like to keep it pretty vague. A pseudo-confession is pretty likely though with these sorts of shows. I also wouldn't call it a gag either, they're obviously building towards their partnership Mizuka is finally putting her trust in her after almost quitting the circus, her fanaticism is played up for laughs, but their relationship isnt
>>4590516I think you're just setting yourself up for disappointment in a few weeks, but you do you. I don't expect either of these shows to deliver.
Reading manga and then banging the table because you see a character being fashionable as fuckLook at this cute smug gap moe tomboyish but still girly fucking bitch, she knows she's got that fit on
>>4590516The person who wrote today's episode described it as being a rom com and that the prince is going to open her heart. If it doesn't end up being het by the end I'll be really surprised
>>4590544Gift her new pants on her birthday tomorrow
so goodbye laura isnt yuri?
>>4590548huh, would you look at that didnt even notice lol what a coincidence
>>4590552It is.
>>4590552Real answer. unkwnown. Shitposters here have been wrong before about shows being het (WfM is a famous example. The cope that they're married to "off screen males" despite Miorine being Ericht's sister in law is retarded)
What we do know is that the anime's symbology for Lara's love (the flash of her heart's light) was absent from what would otherwise be romantic scenes with Luca like the fireworks or the "I like you for you" confession
>>4590544Sexpat in Malaysia fit
>>4590558It also cuts to the coffee can and flower from Mari when this line is said.
>>4590558I expect it to be a slow burn but that'll be the major "subversion of expectations" everyone expects it to be yuri especially after the guy literally killed her in the past but the prince is now changed, lara will learn to love humans and etc. I hope I'm wrong but my expectations are low
>>4590544One thing I appreciate from Chinese and Korean toilet papers is the better fashion tastes.
>>4590566Can't be an slow burn when the dude's already confessed and they've done a major romance event like fireworks. Slow burn would be if the contents of this episode happened across several episodes instead of all in one.
>>4590566>>4590560Don't be dumb. The interviews have the show being talked about in terms of "yuri" and "girl meets girl". Nothing about what is happening is subtle, the camera is constantly cutting to Mari or things to do with Mari or flashbacks Lara is remembering about Mari when true love gets spoken about.
>>4590544Looks like her mom is a sex worker.
>>4590570
>>4590569Honestly I don't expect anything anymore of that anime.
>>4590578Kaguya was too much of a nice surprise earlier this year.
>>4590560Been doing this for the entire show.
>>4590581It's a beautiful shot you took.
>>4590560>>4590581https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbsWQqnWS_s
>>4590570>>4590575>>4590577this is too subtle for me
>>4590558>>4590566>>4590569The best thing to do is wait until the series ends to give a real verdict and not say silly things on the fly. Honestly, this reminds me of the overused trope where the girl thinks she's found true love and then it turns out to be a false alarm. The drama is basically her realizing, after stumbling, that true love wasn't where she initially thought it was.These are the kinds of paths that series like Yuru Yuri or Bad Girl would take if they weren't comedies.
One one side>symbolism, subtle and notOn the other>dude confessed during a romantic setting (fireworks) and wasn't told to fuck off
>>4590242I like this series a lot, sad that it felt a bit rushed towards the end, but it seems the author intended this to be short from the start, which I also find sad, since the concept could have served for a much longer and complex storyRegardless, it was still decent for what it wanted to show, and I wish I could find more series like this one
Can you idiots just wait until it ends ffs.
>>4590602if you lack media literacy skills, just say so.everyone already predicted this arc of Lara thinking she's in love with the prince weeks ago, it was the obvious path the plot would take to make Lara realize her feelings>>4590603>Ban evading shitposter STILL spamming his shit hereyou've been doing this since before the show started airing, you haven't even watched a single episode
>>4590608
>>4590606That reminds me of all those minor cases like Hina Logi, Akanesasu Shōjo, or even Gekidol, which, yes, ended up being yuri, even though people either complained that a het didn't exist or didn't watch those series in the first place. Then, those same idiots just had silly complaints, since they'd lost the main argument: this was yuri. Completely opposite with garbage like Franxx, Gridman, and WEP. Any sensible person knew they weren't yuri. You had cultists who called them yuri and insulted you for saying otherwise, then they hid like rats when the truth hit them in the face.

>>4590277Cute
>>4590626Wait until it's over and you'll have the answers; so far it's all just speculation and nothing more.>>4590628It's obvious you were around back then. People were calling this yuri because of that stupid 02 licking of the jealous girl. Then, and only later, when the character Tomoyo appeared, did they take her seriously. But Tomoyo was never really relevant, and the plot gave her a pointless sacrifice, just to have her die prematurely. But you had people insisting there would be a great yuri ending. No matter all the het going on in the foreground, they kept calling it yuri and even pretending that a lesbian dying before the rest for reasons was yuri.
>>4590634Only when there is real evidence and not idiots complaining about something they have no fucking clue about, but still pretending they know, while when there is a real case of idiots proclaiming something Het as yuri, these same people remain silent.
>>4590636No, it's not even equivalent. For something to be Het, it has to have real Het in the first place, not a possibility within the plot that many can see where it's going. The pathetic cases of Franxx, Gridman, and WEP never really tried to be yuri, not really try at all, just perverts pretending very hard, but not giving any real argument or even liking for the supposed pairings, just people acting like they were in a cult.
>>4590628Ignore the ESL retard.
>>4590647I for one think the new Nanoha show and the Circus show are both yuri, so with Love You Till Your Dying Day and your pic we have 4 yuri series. No need to discuss hetshit
>>4590648>NanohaCome on anon, There is more yuri in my sandwich than in Friensdnoha.
>>4590648>>4590647Nanoha is so shit there's nothing to discuss there They skip everything with narration. Either way, many have rightfully lost faith in the franchise and see the new installment as low effort, so not much discussion there. Beyond constantly calling out how the staff don't know what they're doingAnd no one cares for Bang Dream. Bushi thread is pic spam. No one is preventing anyone from talking about BD but even here or Bushi few care>adaptationSourcetards will spoil everything and mock anime onlies when they're wrong about their guesses. Also, not many anime onlies in the yuri board where most already read sources, so there's barely anything to discuss here that hasn't already been discussed when the adapted material came out in the manga Originals are just more interesting. The director said it's yuri, so you cant' blame people for being interested in something that isn't an adaptation or tied to a franchise. The only other of the shows you people mention is the Circus show and I agree it's goodBut maybe people see it as CGDCT typical subtext and don't care. Or sadly Lara attracts more because it has better art and animation than the Circus show and it's abuse of stills on performances (Sve really suffers from this in particular)Same for Bang Dream, Unless there's a kiss or something, the idea of "Bang Dream" as "band show with subtext and little more" hurts it. It's own franchise works against itPeople are more interested in an original crossing the maintext line already (even if the shows that can are also worse and more problematic than the safer originals that have no het but stay on subtext)Regardless > series that's all about a girl in love with a man, constantly trying to find him, imagining kissing him, going on dates with a boy and all kind of hetshit.Funny how this could apply to Kannazuki no Miko if it were airing now
>>4590649But in Nanoha the only relevant male is a villain. You must worship every show with no males, even if it's execution is shit and is the worst part of the franchise
>>4590652Like Kannazuki before the rape?
>>4590655"mermaidfag" Just you and your allies posting in the mermaid thread to make it seem "mermaid fags admit defeat"
>>4590657He has no allies, the dude just spam samefags.
>>4590650>>And no one cares for Bang Dream.Good joke, that's the typical logic of Western barbarians who think their Het trash is relevant because of its cult following in CR, but the reality is that Bang Dream is more relevant than the favorites in the West will never be.
>>4590660Bang Dream objectively gets little discussion hereJust 3 or 4 posts on airing day. I was talking about here. Nothing in general. Nothing in Bushiroad General. Where's the Bang Dream discussion and interest?It may be bigger in Japan or outside here. But we're talking about discussion in /u/, so I talk about interest in /u/. Lara is Sundays. Bang Dream is thursdays. There's no overlap.. People can talk Bang Dream if they want. Yet they don't want to
I thought the troll was deleting his own posts to simulate mods's bias but they are really deleting every negative post about certain shows. And immediately after they're posted. Meanwhile pics with males can stay up for hours and days and even left undeleted sometimes.>>4590650The third yuri show is obviously Tai ari deshita. I can't understand anymore who's trolling and who's just dumb.>no one cares about yuriYeah, it shows. BanG Dream! will always be more yuri than whatever the fuck /a/nimefags spam here every season.
>>4590664SF6 ads aren't yuri anon. Blame the author for being an autist about FGs and focusing on that over any romantic progress (I'm told the manga hasn't had much more development than the anime yet) and then Crapcom for paying the production to turn it into a literal ad with literal game footage. Makes the whole show seem like cynical advertising that won't get anywhere. Lots of tease and shit but most of the episodes will be occupied by SFshit, which isn't a yuri game. The manga might be worth discussing but the anime? Nah. It suffers the problems I already explained about adaptations with the added problem of the covered material being very nothingburger
>>4590664Mods can easily tell when a post is made by a ban-evader, that's why they're deleted so quickly. This guy has been at it for years, so it's not like he's hard to identify.
>Bang Dream >yuriLMAO NO. Not until Ave Mujica and YumemitaAnd by then it's already been years of nothingburger CGDCT band subtext shit in anime and game. People want more than the basic shit Bandori provides. Maybe if D4DJ could've had an standalone anime about the lesbian coupleI dunno what it is about Yumemita. It's good and gay, but it gets no traction here compared to Ave Mujica. Did people lose faith after Ave Mujica because they hated the menhera melodrama and now they're unwilling to give Yumemita a chance?Seriously, what happened?
>>4590666>latching on the content of the game within the story to bring down a yuri series>meanwhile dates with a boy are perfectly fineIt's another series that will always be more yuri than the shit you spam every season.>>4590667That's what I thought as well but then they deleted my post too within minutes since I posted it.
>>4590662The problem is that /u/ as a board has the same silly "mainstream" problems as several other (barbaric) Western communities on the internet: they discuss a few things, ignore others, and then are surprised that there was yuri where they weren't looking. That being a positive case, in the worst case they are deceived by malicious or overly optimistic people who try to sell them things like Mou Ippon or Medalist as yuri series.>>4590666Watching the anime Tai Ari Deshita, I can understand the complaints about autism in SF6, but the problem is that saying it's not yuri is somewhat despicable. Even if it's a minimal shipptease, it can be considered a little yuri. Honestly, this series does well everything that Rock wa Lady does spectacularly badly (with the latter receiving the credit it honestly doesn't deserve).I've been here on /u/ long enough to see a lot of stupid complaints back in the day or ignored series that still mean a lot to me.
>>4590669Dates witn boy are fine as long as boy is not endgame>yuri seriesWhere's the yuri? Yuri is not when there aren't any males, and Tai Ari is more interested in FGC autism over yuri. Again, maybe the manga is worth discussing. But it's so slow burn in favour of SF autism, that the anime is worthlessAnd again, it being an adaptation is a discussion killer because anime onlies here are a minority and most people here already discussed what the anime covers when it was released as manga
I will only say that in vol 9 and 10 of Tai Ari Deshita there is nothing,not even subtext,is a fucking waste of time.
>>4590671Wtrong. Rock Lady is better and more yuri than Tai Ari. Seeing Tai Ari I could understand why people weren't interested before release. It might have yuri tag. But the material the anime covers os too much focus on FG shit. There's some yuri but not enough
>>4590674Don't you dare disagree with the agenda. Tai Ari is super yuri because no unromantic dates with boyIt doesn't have the "hetshit elelements" and we know yuri is defined exclusively by lack of those
>>4590668>>LMAO NO. Not until Ave Mujica and Yumemitahahaha, you can't be serious, you really can't be serious.>>nothingburger CGDCT band subtext shit in anime and game.Do you even know what yuri is? No, it's not a series ending with explicit sex or a diagram explaining why the couple is canon. Under that same excuse, no yuri series about a developing relationship should be considered yuri, even if it's published in a yuri magazine or is considered yuri by the author.>>Maybe if D4DJ could've had an standalone anime about the lesbian coupleI love how they always use D4DJ in the stupidest way possible just because they mention a canon couple that they don't really care about in the slightest, while at the same time ignoring the couples suggested along the way. Did you know that they are part of a group and they are not the only two members?>>but it gets no traction here compared to Ave Mujica.Yumemita works as a tragicomedy, it's that simple, that's why it doesn't have traction, it doesn't mean it's any less gay, on the contrary, it's a super gay series and it's also, by the way, the best CG anime even by the superior standards of BD (rot in envy Polygon Pictures)
>>4590675Rock Lady isn't better, and it's not even good, for that matter. Everything in that series ranges from those silly, forced insults between the two leaders—the kind of musical anime I hate the most, where the music conveys nothing and the characters have to tell you what to feel or think. Let's be completely frank: not a single relationship in that series is even remotely decent. Tai Ari, as a series, and with all its silly obsession with SF6 (which is sadly realistic), still has a better dynamic and relationship between its characters, albeit minimal and silly, but it's something I can at least call romantic.The anime about the mangaka teacher with frustrated dreams is really good; the lilac-haired woman was gay for the teacher almost from the moment they met.
>>4590650>The director said it's yuriThe show has a girl not rejecting a male's love confession.
>>4590680It isn't a love confession and she feels nothing.
Stop falling in love with evil girls! It never ends well!
gay pussy
I like rock lady and the street fighter showI also am still able to enjoy shows that dont explicitly have the girls dating or fucking each other but are still clearly showing that they have romantic interest in each other. When romance and romcoms are like that people dont say >well they arent really romcoms/romance because nothing progressesif a show has no males, only background males, or the males do not matter while there is clear romantic moments/hinting between the girls I think thats at least light yuri/gl and I still like it. The fact that that kind of setup/show is increasing in frequency as well is a good sign for the fact yuri and gl as a whole are getting more popular/prevelant
>>4590680>>4590681I love the hypocrisy of some people not only on /u/ but in other places too. I mean, you have interaction between a girl and a boy of a variable, possibly non-romantic nature, and people jump in and yell "het" or "super canon relationship" (even if nothing happens). But instead, you have two girls who can be as gay as you want, have tons of shipping, have staff support, voice actors, or just have good chemistry together, and no, there's nothing romantic there. It's just yuri fan paranoia... Obviously, I'm talking about Pokémon Horizons, and it made it clear to me that people on Reddit suffer from serious mental problems.
>>4590685I still remember people almost 20 or 15 years ago complaining about those kinds of series, just because they only had female characters and considering them bad for that reason, but then they praise harem garbage as if they were masterpieces, despite how bad their male leaders were and the harem girls were nothing more than a pathetic menu of fetishes.We've reached this point where the upcoming adaptations of that garbage Index are completely ignoring Index, focusing instead on its moe bait Railgun and the spin-off centered on one of the worst groups in Index, just because the worst of the Index protagonists hadn't appeared yet and one of the worst level 5s hadn't killed the blonde who was less relevant than people admit. I'm not calling this a victory for yuri, but anything that contradicts those idiots from 15 or 20 years ago is fine by me.
I watch bandori for the music.
>>4590694
Who are your favorite ancient lesbians?I like Sara Crewe and Becky from A Little Princess and Dorothy Gail and Ozma from the Oz series.
>>4590703Eve and Lilith.
>>4590703Your mom
Yumemita gets no discussion because, outside of viomiya, there's not much yuri to discuss. Araritsu is cute, but their conflict revolves around viola and now that they're friends again all the tension has been sucked out of their relationship and unfortunately not replaced with much romantic fluffNonoyuno is cute too, but they have almost no screen time and are barely even characters at this point
One of the above images is futa. Another is GB. The janny will delete neither, but will delete discussion. Wonder why
>>4590672>Where's the yuri?You are full of shit.>Dates witn boy are fine Kill yourself.
>>4590724AraRitsu is fine.
>>4590724It gets no discussion because the thread here is mostly just one avemygofan that hates them. Same reason there are 2 threads on /a/ right now.
>>4590762Not really, I think all three series do their job of being moderately entertaining, I see them all as equivalent considering it's just band drama stuff.But at the end of the day I watch this stuff for the yuri, that's what I remember after the deal, meaning I remember hatsune x sakiko from ave mujica and that's it.As >>4590724 put it, the main attraction here is viola, she's at the center of every main conflict and miyako is overtly enamored with her, so whether yumemita ends up memorable or forgettable hinges entirely on how they resolve the viola situation.I really hope they aren't gunning for her disappearing after a humiliating defeat or something, but eventually redeem her instead, which is what I'd expect of band dream though the fact that her bandmates have the personality of cartoon lackeys worries me about their band's staying prospects.
>>4590756Notice how you didn't answer me. Even something like Lyco. Even shit like Nanoha Exceeds has more yuri than TaiAri anime. Manga readers agree, tooStoip defending a shit show just because you want a weapon against LaraNo one would be defending SF6 ads the anime if it wasn't airing in the same season as Lara
>>4590686>if you treat boy x girl differently than girl x girl you have double standardsWish we stopped with this silly line of defense, gender does matter in society and relationships, of course a boy and a girl holding hands is always going to look romantic by default while a girl and girl is going to look like friendship by default.People are assumed to be heterosexual until proven otherwise because it's the norm, there's no hypocrisy there, so when it comes to non-explicit stuff, it is much simpler to create the expectation that a boy and a girl have something going on compared to girl x girl.This isn't about Lara btw, I'm not even watching it.
>>4590770I've already answered you, retard.TaiAri has girls explicitly attracted to each other and has scenes showing it, unlike whatever the fuck you keep blabbering about every season.The shitty game turned into an ad doesn't change that and it's completely irrelevant in a discussion about yuri.
>>4590776It doesn't, you delusional tard. If your only defense is "it's better than x", that shoews you really only care to use it as a weapon against shit you dislike. Because even you know the show is worthless otherwise. Again, learn to shit on shows without having to defend other shit shows as a weapon against what you hateIf people stopped talking about Lara or whatever other shows you hate, they wouldn't talk more about TaiAriWhat TaiAri should be>yuri with some FGCwhat it is>FGC with some minimal yuri to keep the tag. No progress in 10 volumesEven if it is yuri, it's worthless. The KanoKari of yuri. "getting some standards" isn't just about rejecting shows like Lara. It's also about rejecting shows like TaiAri that utterly waste your time even if they're yuri
>>4590780Nice episode 2 screenshot, dipshit.Now showe me the progress. Show me how much time is dedicated to FGCshit and how minimal the time dedicated to scenes like this isIf it wasn't for the tag and the teasy moments in those first few episodes, I'd say the characters feel like gaming buds and there's little love hereIt stagnated and forgot to show any more yuri. The author prefers to show FGC autism. The girls spend more time yapping FGC lingo than flirtingI can say the anime is yuri, but is shitty yuri
>>4590782Is this suppossed to be anything solid?
Would you defend TaiAri if Lara didn't exist? Be honest
>>4590785Any screenshots of actual romance instead of the show using characters to go "you should be shipping this couple"A good romance actually shows you the couple being romantic instead of using side characters to tell you. Not to mention the point of this charactetr is "look at her misunderstanding Mio and Aya's relationship as romantic. Isn't it funny how wrong she is"?Show, don't tell.
>>4590779I'm not even talking about your favourite het series of the season, and this shows how you aren't understanding a line of what you read and you're only making up shit in your head.Always pulling this "you like / you dislike" bullshit argument when we're only talking about yuri. Well, I am, because you definitely aren't.You keep talking about this irrelevant shitty game thing disregarding all the yuri while defending a series with a girl going on dates with a boy. You ask people to post screenshots and they do but nope, that actually doens't count because... it's from a few episodes ago! But it's okay when in the latest episode of your favourite series there's nothing but het. You won't recognize BanG Dream! as yuri until there will be a kiss, but say Suisei no majo doesn't need a kiss, doesn't need to show the wedding, doesn't need to put romance in it, it's okay if it wastes episodes and episodes on the plot with the guys.This is not about this series vs that series, it's about you ignoring yuri because you have some retarded reasoning against it while defending non-yuri because you like it.You're accusing others of defending a series only because they like it when in reality there are various yuri moments used as an argument, while it's actually you doing that, defending a series without any yuri moment, with an active het plot taking up the whole story.And that's why you're full of shit. incoherent and hypocritical troll.And it's useless to talk with you, you will always reject everything presented against your autistic view and go on and on with your nonsense and I don't have any more time to waste with you.Btw, picrel is from one of the latest chapter of TaiAri. Not that you would know since you don't read yuri and only uses whatever negative bullshit other retards like you say. But again this isn't about TaiAri, it's just to further show how full of shit you are.
>>4590791Ok. Let's ignore LaraTaiAri is shit. The only defense it has is "it's airing on the same season as Lara"If Lara didn't exist, you'd have no defenseAnd I never said I don't see BD as yuri. I do. It's better and gayer than TaiAri. I was speculating why BD doesn't seem to get more than a few posts on airing day. Why the Bushiroad general is a dead imagespam thread even with a new Bang Dream show airing. That's not about my feelings,. That's me trying to speculate why interest in BD is so dead in this board
Also WfM has romance. It has the married endingIf TaiAri has any of those, it will be in the mangaNothing in the episodes the anime will adapt. Thus while the manga might be good, the anime definitely isn't Also if all scenes with males is "show bad wasting time". The same applies to the male streamers and FGC tards in TaiAri. TaiAri also has males, hypocrite>>4590792>non-yuri scene about their FGCshit obssessionThanks for proving me right. Where's the romance here?. This is the MC mouthing off to her main FGCshit rival
>incoherent and hypocritical trollSay the people who were saying how shit TaiAri is before airing and are now only defending it because a worse show exists that people here defend and they need a weapon against said show>>4590796>scene about Mio's hatred for studying because she's a literal FGC addictStop throwing shit at the wall. You keep proving me right about what characterizes this girl moreTheir FG addictions. Very minimal attraction to other girls
>>4590796>I hate testesHow did I not catch that while watching it lmao
Talking about hypocrisy>complaining about how unfair it is that negative comments about Lara aren't allowed>bitches when people have anything negative to say about TaiAriIf you want to allow criticism, criticism should also be allowed for shows you defend. Either all criticism is allowed or none is
>>4590801>4 posts in a row fishing for replies by sperging utter nonsenseShut the fuck up, retard. You aren't saying TaiAri is bad, you're saying it's not yuri and you must be called out for being a completely dishonest subhuman, like comparing the guys in TaiAri having no relations at all with the girls with guys going on dates with girls in other series.
>>4590802>datesShit that didn't happen in WfM. Outside a single episode that ended with the guy pissed off, challenging Suletta to a fight and then turned to ashes for losingDid you forget Suletta rejecting Elan 5's advances while she still thought he was 4?You can say whatever about Lara, but bringing WfM into this is a mistake. Because the guys in WfM aren't any more relevant to the girls than the guys in TaiAri. I'm saying TaiAri is bad BECAUSE the yuri is minimal. It can be yuri. But is shit yuri and most of it reserved for the mangaContrast with KimiShinu which has lots of yuri in the anime itself. The war is secondary to the bonds of the girls. The way KimiShinu treats the war is how TaiAri should treat the FGC shit
Why even bring up such a nothing burger show when Yumemita, KimiShinu and Grow Up Show exist? They're all better than TaiAri and actually worth defending. The only utter nonsense here is the desperate defense of such a nothingburger show. Yuri yes, but very minimal and shitty. Not worth anyone's time
Let's talk about Yumemita then.Knowing they're from a mobile game first and foremost and Viola's current uggo bandmates are barely characters, what are the odds she ends up back in the band or something?I haven't played Bandori in forever so I'm not sure how sumimi and Mana are treated in game, but I think it'd feel odd for a character like Viola to not end up being playable or something.
>>45908750.The band members are announced beforehand. And besides, Yumemita's gimmick is that all their seiyuus are Vtubers who are larping the characters in real life. So Fuji Miyako is credited as Fuji Miyako. Meanwhile Viola is played by Kaede Hondo with no Vtuber identity. We knew Ritsu would join even when the anime introduced her as Clematis of Fairy Bouquet because the Mewtype members were already known before the anime: Arale, Ritsu, Nono, Miyako and YunoThis goes beyond anime and game. There's also real bands here putting out real concerts. Whatever happens with Viola, she's not joining Mewtype
>>4590923I was talking about TaiAri Which is worse than WfM and Madoka. You grouping Lara with them doesn't help your arguments against Lara. Whatever happens with Lara, it means nothing to WfM and Madoka. Fuck off Yuri is not defined by absense of males or "het elements". Those elements can be there as long as they aren't the endgame. Which they aren't in either WfM or Madoka
>>4590925Don't feed the troll.
>>4590928Because only Lara has a possibility of fitting that definition, you braindead moron
>>4590929>>4590926
Welcome back /u/ I missed /u/
>>4590934good morning <3
>>4590875thats for next season when she forms her ave mujica equivalent
Should Viola get a redemption arc or stay evil? Assume she bags Miyako in either scenario
>>4590965>Evilshe hasn't done anything wrong yet
>>4590965If she doesn't have miyako as her pet dog on a leash by the end of the series they made a mistake.
>>4590987Miyako is the dog but she'll be the one holding the leash in the end
>>4590875>I'm not sure how sumimi and Mana are treated in gameAs NPCs, nothing more. sumimi did open for the AveMyGO joint live and the other seiyuu praised Mana's performer for being a super nice person, so there's that, but since Fairy Bell hasn't even had so much as an insert song yet Hondo Kaeda will probably stay at home.
what the fuckits already augustdid that Lovers mermaid thing come out or no
>>4590940I suppose that would be an interesting direction if they decide to take the character's popularity and maybe give her a band with some specific gimmick or something like that. It would be a waste of a character, although in this series it's not uncommon to have that type of character with a certain popularity or recognition, but who isn't part of a band, like Marina and the Hag. Even "milky green" would fall into that category despite the supposed importance they had in S1.
>>4591048You mean the short?
>>4591048End of the month
>>4591110Dammit its been FOREVER
Came across a discussion about things that are about to major hits in the mainstream but normies dont know about them yet (something called dungeon crawler carl and cosmere)What's the yuri equivalent of this? Any hidden gem in the light novel or whatever space that will soon get adapted into a more digestible format like manga or anime?
>>4591136Define "normies"? General yuri audience? Weebs and western audience? There's stuff that is big with /u/s and JP yuri scene but other people don't know about. Like Vampeerz. OmaeGotoki hasn't really made a splash with either the manga or (bad) anime but Kiki also has a bunch of other yuri WNs that aren't adapated into LNs.
>>4591136Do untranslated series that have a translation on the way count?Something like magical girl witch trials is huge in JP yuri circles for some reason despite not being explicit yuri, and is getting an english release soon. i can see it getting pretty popular
Did anything ever come of that one dodgeball anime?
>>4591186Why would it? I don't think it has ever been brought up here.
>>4591194it has a few times, which is why im mentioning it.
>>4591138Obviously I mean yuri audience, not actual mainstream>>4591167Yeah I think untranslated stuff. Something big, something enuinely good that we justd ont knoa bout it
>>4591310Something horrible is going to happen to one or both of these girls, I just know it.
>>4583320>262kWhat happened here?
Galette kickstarter is up!
>Anna getting married in the third movieI wont say I was the biggest Elsana fan ever but I did read that fanfic with the turbo chud Elsa written by an anon (forgot the name, been too long) and....yeah, this kind hurt to hear
Token yuri moment in Skull knight
>>4591481There was a 2nd movie?
>>4591481>forgot the name/r9k/ Elsa is Suffering?Kristoff's entire plot in the second movie was about trying to ask Anna so it's not surprising. It's not like Disney was going to make a standard princess movie where the romance plot that worked out in the first film was going to go downhill and stop in later ones. Elsa is getting a hot evil new girl to ship her with so it sort of worked out.
>>4591507Yeah that's the oneI should....read it again, I dont think I ever finished it...or did the fic itself even fisnih?
>>4592050The superior pairing.
