>2026 Motoko has a boyfriend
dropped

>>4591556
Did people even see her as a lesbo icon before this? It's whatever to me.

>>4591560
The only real connection between Motoko and yuri I've ever considered is her single panel cameo in Pandora in the Crimson Shell.

>>4591560
>Did people even see her as a lesbo icon before this
No, but she was canonically bisexual. I don't know why people thought it would be changed, I think they were just hoping the male side of it would get dropped because it's such a minor detail.

>>4591555
Lara ending in super friendship will set yuri back another 10 years

>>4591560
The trailer was yuribait.
>b-b-b-b-buh Major had a boyfriend in the mang-
Don't care. If you show girls kissing, you must commit to it.

>>4591569
This is an 80s story by a degenerate who didn't want to draw guy asses at the time and has grown more degenerate since. All the praise came from people who saw Oshii turning his weirdo sci-fi manga into full on 2deep4u philosophical pretentious nonsense that appeals to all the "I'm so much more smarter than you because I watch deep and mature anime for deep and mature people like myself" types
This was never going to be yuri. The only part of the Shirowverse that is worth a damn here is Pandora in Crimson Shell.

>>4591569
They did commit to it, she literally has sex with girls. Nothing about this is bait. She was a bisexual in the manga and is a bisexual in the show.

>>4591562
>I think they were just hoping the male side of it would get dropped because it's such a minor detail.
Pretty much. Yuribaiting in 2026 just to keep something that has zero relevance to the plot, character, or worldbuilding is a pretty deranged thing to do.

>>4591582
>'95 GitS
>2deep4u
So literally 31 years ago?? And dealing with rather complex themes is very much standard stuff in the scifi genre, and it's not even that deep. And what's so bad about adapting a weirdo scifi manga into a weirdo scifi movie? Anyway, 95 Motoko has a ton of lesbian fans. Shirow Motoko, far from it.

>>4591584
She had one night stand with female prostitutes/FWBs and is only in actual relationship with a man not even shown or mentioned in the trailer or any of the episodes until that one really. Yes it's yuribait and they didn't commit to making what appeared in the trailer a main part of the show.

>>4591591
It's not bad but it's not yuri. The problem is the fans more than the work, but because yuri is just a fetish in the manga and this anime which aims to be faithful and keep all the good and bad of the manga, it is worthless here.
They already said this was a faithful adaptation of the manga, and that includes the yuribaiting. Because this isn't made for yuri fans. So they didn't remove the boyfriend because yuri fans were never the target and everyone else doesn't care about yuribait
Look at Euphonium and now Lara discussions among normalfags and critics "The shows are good. It's good to explore friendship/non-romantic love. It doesn't need yuri. Yuri fans are insane for being so harsh about bait". These commnets are painfully common. Yuri fans are expected to only watch adaptations of tagged manga and if we expect anything of anime originals and get baited, it's our fault and we shouldn't complain.

>>4591594
>It doesn't need yuri
Doesn't need het either. Or any kind of romance. But since a male and a female exist in the same universe it must have het, no matter how forced.

>>4591592
>Yes it's yuribait
No, underagefag. A show just having a bisexual woman fuck another woman is not bait. What appeared in the trailer is in the show and it's exactly what has been in the manga for almost 40 fucking years. Nowhere did it pretend to be yuri. Nowhere was it advertised as being yuri. No one who wasn't a borderline clinically retarded, subhuman brainlet thought it was going to suddenly retcon the character into being strictly lesbian because nothing implied that they were going to. Even if the show had not specifically included boyfriend she would still be fucking bisexual who had canonically had a boyfriend offscreen.

You were not baited, you are just a fucking moron. No one was even fishing. Your dumbass saw a boat crossing a lake, the same way it had been for decades, and decided it must be a big piece of food and jumped right up onboard.

So god damn tired of retards not understanding what the fuck "bait" even is.

>>4591598
>Nowhere did it pretend to be yuri. Nowhere was it advertised as being yuri.
But enough about Goodbye Lara.

>>4591603
You mean the show where the director called it yuri in an interview?
The show with the manifestation of Lara's feelings reacting to Mari but not Luca? The show with the super romantic BD cover?
Regardless of how it ends, it pretends to be yuri and is advertised as such. If it ends het, it'd be indeed bait

We have a long and prized history of not caring what staff says. We cannot (and should not) double standard our way just because we actually like what staff says this time.

>If it ends het, it'd be indeed bait
Or rather, when.

>>4591645
Then the term bait needs to be abandadoned completely and nothing is bait if we can't pay attention to how a show advertises itself
If Lara ends up het, it is bait and the advertising and staff words are important for that. Because they advertise yuri that wouldn't be reflected in the show itself.
That's the purest meaning of bait, and if we ignore staff comments then nothing can be classified as bait and that's not good. We need to understand and call out when staff and shows are being decieftul and actually baiting

Correct. But it isn't going to, which is obvious for anyone actually watching the show.

Certainly not in Goodbye Lara lmao

>>4591736
>fall in love
There's no evidence she has
>date
If you don't define dating as exclusively romantic
Luca's feelings are one-sided for now. The show lets you know when Lara feels love and she didn't at any point with him

>>4591738
Still part of the show's marketing.

Goodbye Lara being one the most popular yuri shows in recent years shows that baiting enough to feed headcanon is all you need to make the yuri audiences happy without allienating the het audience.

Criticism against Lara would be belieavable if the retard could hold back his need to drag into this shows that have been proven not het
Like Lyco, Madoka and Gundam Witch. The conspiracy about "taking up space" or whatever also reeks of the retard who goes on about an evil idol dude making wrong OPs or whatever. If there's a show you want to talk about and it has no thread: make one. Board is dead, thread won't dissapear unless there's literally no interest
And the activity of Madoka, Lyco or WfM threads isn't enough to bump down anything that has active discussion. The theory can be proven wrong. It's an insane conspiracy
>>4591757
So is it yuri or bait?. You contradict yourself. Can't be "popular yuri show" if it isn't "yuri show". You admit it's at least "yuri show"
Popularity has never been synonimous with quality. Most audiences are happy with little. Look outside of yuri. Solo Leveling is a cure to insomnia but it's still super popular. The shit that gets constant new seasons is extremely rarely any good

Also if your idea of fighting back is bitching like a retard with no attempt to talk about the real yuri shows you want people to talk about is retarded
Complaining and criticism has it's place, but also: be the change you want to see. TaiAiri and KimiShinu aired yesterday and I saw no discussion here or in the Kimishinu thread. Bang Dream will air tomorrow and Bushi general will keep being zombie imagespam shit while here we will get 3 or 4 posts at best
Sunflower circus will air and again it will be a few posts on airing day and nothing
Nanoha is the only show with some discussion and it's extremely shit and dissapointing. How is the shittiest show beating in discussion all the more interesting shows? Lara could not exist and we'd still have this problem. This goes beyond an evil conspiracy by Larafags or whatever. All of these shows air in different days than Lara. I don't see how Lara is preventing any discussion of them here

>>4591764
>How is the shittiest show beating in discussion all the more interesting shows?
It's just unironically how we as humans work.
Something nice drops in RR, you read it, and comment that this was nice or don't say anything at all.
Something you dislike drops and you write an essay about all its problems.

>>4591762
>So is it yuri or bait
It's bait; which is the point I'm trying to make.
The bait is enough for the yuri fanbase to consider it a yuri show, which rewards studios and creators without actually needing to be explicit.

>>4591765
Yep. People prefer to post when they have criticisms over when anything is fine. I saw the KimiShinu thread more active than usual when I checked and it was criticism of the decision of connecting Ari to a brothel (even if it's as a servant/worker who wasn't actually a prostitute) when no such thing is in the manga

>>4591767
And is this new?. Is this new that fanbases in general don't care for quality?. Goddamn Rent a Girlfriend has like 5 or 6 seasons. Commenting "popular thing bad" is retarded because it's like acting proud for knowing 2 +2=4. Most people already know popularity =/= quality. This applies to all fanbases. In all mediums. Book, manga, LNs, music, anime, stage plays, you name it

>>4591762
>Board is dead
The whole internet is.

>>4591770
I'm not talking about popularity in that sense.
I'm talking about how people prefer bait to actual, explicit, non ambiguous romance between two girls.

>>4591598
>A show just having a bisexual woman fuck another woman is not bait.
Imagine defending bishit with a boyfriend on /u/ of all places.
>What appeared in the trailer is in the show and it's exactly what has been in the manga for almost 40 fucking years.
Do you think it's me who got baited? I already read the manga. But thousand others got yuribaited. Nobody reads a 40 year old manga.
>Nowhere was it advertised as being yuri.
Having girls kissing in the teaser and trailer is not advertisement?
>No one who wasn't a borderline clinically retarded, subhuman brainlet thought it was going to suddenly retcon the character into being strictly lesbian because nothing implied that they were going to.
Yes, I guess advertising harmful substances like cigars and hard drugs should be allowed because only dumbasses would fall for them. Imagine defending lesbian teasing in any form on /u/ of all places. Lesbian teasing as a vehicle for straight male fetish, at that. On /u/ of all places.
>You were not baited, you are just a fucking moron
I'm only warning /u/ about hetshit. You're defending hetshit. You're the moron.

>>4591773
Which is still part of the "people prefer bad things over good things" problem I mentioned. A bad show being popular means people are choosing to support it over better shows. They show they prefer basic shitty narratives over better ones

KimiShinu is boring. Someone had to say it.

>>4591556
I can't even feel sorry for the dweebs who fell for this after all the warning signs.
>Watch adaptation that prides itself on being more faithful to the original het manga
>Get surprised that they keep it het instead of doing a complete 180 for no reason

People even went full cope mode about "as long as she doesn't mention otherwise, then she's gay", which is just pulling the wool over your eyes

>>4591594
>"The shows are good. It's good to explore friendship/non-romantic love. It doesn't need yuri. Yuri fans are insane for being so harsh about bait"
>Yuri fans are expected to only watch adaptations of tagged manga and if we expect anything of anime originals and get baited, it's our fault and we shouldn't complain.
You summed it up real good. Hetshitters are truly trash. And why is it so hard for hetshitters to admit they love het and hate yuri? Why do they need to make up excuses to shove yuri fans away? Most yuri fans certainly have no problem saying they simply and plainly hate hetshit.

>>4591776
To be fair, I don't think anon is defending GiTS or saying it's yuri. I think anon is just being autistic about the definition of bait and wether GiTS falls into it. Which is different from a defense.

>>4591779
But it's still tagged yuri so apparently you are obligated to like it over more entertaining non explicit shows. If you want to express dislike, this is clearly not the place
You'll get called an evil hetfag part of the conspiracy to remove yuri threads or whatever the wannabe mods cry about

>>4591773
It's an anime original in a field of adaptations, and part of the thrill is not knowing what's going to happen. Sure, maybe I'll get burned, but then I'll forget about it in a few months. But 20+ years later, I still remember the heartbreak I felt when Himeko stabbed Chikane, and the joy on seeing them reunite in the intersection. Or more recently, the sense of despair during Suletta's romantic moment with Elan, and relief of her waking up and responding to Miorine as she sobbed. Being able to experience a work of fiction, care about it, talk to people about it, commiserate, celebrate, and genuinely not know the outcome is wonderful.

>>4591781
Because a lot of these hetshitters using these excuses are also part of leftist communities or want to fit in and don't want the bigot label. You see gachafags who have no problem saying they hate yuri and "yuritards" but when you want to fit in with left communities, it's easy to say "het bad", but "yuri bad"? Admitting that would get you rightfully labeled as homophobe and these people want to keep hating yuri without the label so they make up excuses so they can look sophisticated and can go "I don't hate yuri" or aren't grouped with the Blue Archive fans saying all gays should die and that girls should submit to an empty male self insert

>>4591780
Regardless the source material, there's something extra scummy about showing lesbian kiss in a trailer for a show that is only fully confirmed to be hetshit 8 episodes in. And people who have and will read the source material are a fraction of netflix audience. And there are many who hold off reading the source material before finishing the show it's based on in order to avoid spoilers. So saying it's allowed to be shit because the source material is shit is not a valid defense.

>>4591769
Kimishinu had a bunch of weird minor changes compared to the manga for some reason. its about 50/50 on whether i like them or not most of the time

>>4591788
They were using yuri as a fetish like Shirow did back in the day. Definitely delivering on the promise of faithfulness. Not that it's a good thing. But this is why you investigate tags and ask around. If you want to go in with no spoilers or info, you eventually learn why that's a bad idea and why some spoilers (even a simple "is it yuri" question) are a good thing

>>4591779
It's okay to be wrong anon

>>4591787
Yeah nowadays you'll get called pedos for liking fictional characters. Usually by the same people too. Preferences in fiction is more serious than real life. I can't believe people are ridiculing "video game causes violence" bullshit from the 90s while at the very same time calling you pedos or phobes for having preferences in fictional characters. Modern internet is batshit insane.

>>4591800
When will you stop thinking your bait works? The fact that you keep trying to frame Gwitch as het literally always gives you away. If you just picked your shows better maybe someone would actually believe you weren't the same troll.
You have no way to even pretend Gwitch is het. It's just factually not. LycoReco, at the very least, has no yuri. So that's a step closer to het with males being relevant in it. But it's also not het yet.
Try a little harder or give up.

>>4591784

Why isn't /ll/ more popular in yuri?

>>4591812
Ask in the deleted threads.

>>4591810
Where's Ericht and Suleta's brother? Because Miorine is Eri's sister in law. So whatever imaginary male you claim she's married to because "up to interpretation" needs to be a sibling to Eri. Or she's simply married to Suletta, Eri's sister and you're an schizo

>>4591817
Why should anyone accept you as any kind of authority on how much yuri a show has?

Didn't know discussing your fantasies of girls marrying off-screen men that don't exist which contradicts everything in the show (not that you watched it to know this) is "discussing yuri"
YagaKimi is het because both girls are actually fucking men off-screen. Apparently no evidence is needed to make claims this insane, after all
It is utterly boring and I hate it so it has 0 yuri because I decided so. Yuri only counts when I like it

>>4591810
>They straight up told you that that shit was up to interpretation IE. They were married to men.
Just fuck off for real and never come back you fucking troll.

>>4591819
Considering that the author of Yagakimi turned out to be a massive hetshitter thats probably exactly what happened. Author intent matters in the absence of in canon++ evidence.

>>4591787
>keep hating yuri without the label
God it's so true

I like it since it precedes childhood friends to lovers

>>4591821
>turned out to be a massive hetshitter
I thought she hated being tied to only one genre

>>4591821
A writer doing both yuri and het does not make the yuri not yuri. What level of bait is that? Sounds like you long since abandoned you brain just to keep posting it. Not to mention that Nakatani Nio was always known to be straight, but has written more yuri works than het ones.

>>4591827
She doesn't want the label? Thus her work is not yuri. Thus the YagaKimi girls are fucking men off.screen
Same logic as Suletta and Miorine being married to off-screen men. One of whom must be a somehow unseen brother to our main character and one the main villains (and son of the other villain Prospera) because Miorine is factually Eri's sister in law. Miorine can only be Eri's sister in law when marriying a sibling of Eri.

>>4591830
Ironic shitposting is still shitposting.

>>4591821
>author of Yagakimi turned out to be a massive hetshitter
She didn't.

>Author intent matters
It doesn't.

>>4591821
the author of yagakimi doesn't hate yuri.
She's just a bit pretentious and doesn't like calling her works yuri, and was asked to draw yuri because her doujins garnered a big yuri audience despite it not being her intention.
She even went out of her way to clarify that she's not quitting yuri or anything like that on xitter just because she's writting het now (i think the chinese were complaining again).

Direct your hate towards an author that deserves it instead, there's plenty of them

Well? You can discuss the show. Is that not what you want? Or are you a retard whose purpose is to complain and demand people discuss shows without making a single post yourself
At this point any complaint that shows aren't being discussed is invalid. Less complaining, more discussing. And less laying the blame on WfM

Anyone who starts a discussion about a series in the general thread instead of the specific one is a bad person; they just want to generate discussion and not have anyone with real knowledge of the series respond.

>>imagedump
This is a more general problem; many people (stupidly) think that turning a thread that dies after a certain number of posts into a gallery that will also die and whose images will disappear is a good thing. These same people hate having even the slightest debate because you have to be a sheep who accepts everything. If you want to see a terrible real-life example, look at the Love Live thread. Any attempt at discussion is treated as trolling (seriously), even if it's talking about the best series (Niji), the movies that are still airing, or even those latest silly projects whose only merit is doujinshi and fan art.

Uh sure I guess.
So today's episode was definitely the weakest so far, I was actually happy when I saw it being set up as a NonoxYuno story, since as others have noted they felt like marginal characters who were only there to fill in the numbers (also, wasn't there already a BD girl who had the exact same spiel of slow speech + going at her own pace that Nono does? don't ask me for her name though).
Unfortunately the episode didn't achieve anything at all, the flashbacks didn't really show anything interesting about the characters involved since we already knew that Yuno had a falling out with her old band and that Nono was happy-go-lucky, and they didn't even grow closer since Nono had all of 30 seconds alone with Yuno and did nothing but throw a tantrum, and then the other bandmates join in and solve everything by messing around a bit, I guess?
Also seriously, I get that this is a band anime and all, but does every single personal conflict need to be about some band? Arale and Ritsu already had that covered this season, and this is airing after two consecutive seasons where the biggest drama stemmed from, guess what, an old band disbanding, is that really the only possible source of trauma in this universe?
Well, one thing this episode did achieve was making it clear how empty the series is without Viola, I think it was the only one so far where she wasn't at least indirectly involved, and it showed, it reconfirmed my impressions from my previous post on it: >>4590769

Yumemita is alright, but it feels like the series keeps getting further and further from what i liked about MYGO. Lighting in a bottle maybe.

I wonder what OG bandori fans think about post-mygo bandori, i remember the gacha fans being upset because they kept adding more bands and more bands to the game without giving any of them time to breathe

With this episode, all band members have more screentime and relevance than Rana in MyGo and Umiri in Ave Mujica. Which makes Yumemita better than both, regardless of anything else.
>>4592367
BD is very band-centric. Kinda like how the card game is in Yu-Gi-Oh. Umiri wasn't from Crychic and her backstory was still about "band separated".
Still, I hope these posts (and the posts in the KimiShinu thread) can convince the autists about why there's no discussion about "better" "actual yuri titles" and they stop complaining about Lara and WfM and making up conspiracy theories of hetfags coming here to prevent yuri discussion or whatever

>>4592418
>all band members have more screentime and relevance than Rana in MyGo and Umiri in Ave Mujica. Which makes Yumemita better than both
that's not how that works

>>4592420
It is to me. I hated Umiri and Rana being "designated member who is neglected by the anime" and am glad Yumemita is not doing that. It's a band anime. I come for the band girls. Neglecting one of them for whatever reason is a huge failure. MyGO and Ave Mujica failed this basic task. Yumemita didn't,. Maybe try to get the basics down before shooting for the stars and crashing down

>>4592423
>designated member who is neglected by the anime

Who are Viola's bandmates in Fairy Bouquet?

>>4592420
The problem is that they're a band and all their members are important, even RAS had decent time for they members, even when one of them had a sexual fixation on an entire band.

>>4592418

I don't know why you care about what some anti-yuri idiot, who knows nothing about yuri and even less about how it works, says. Just enjoy what you see, promote yuri and its benefits to the heretics, and hate het like a normal person.

Incidentally, you could say that Reiwa-san has yuri, a girl obsessed with the Tomboy, although I don't know if this improves or worsens, especially with the little brother who dresses as a woman, but is a pervert.

>>4592426
They are NPCs and not real members or characters; it's the NT girls we should care about, it's like pretending the old ladies from S3 are important.

>>4592426
With the band, I mean the real band being promoted that the show was made for. Complaining Fairy Bouquet is not developed is like complaining about lack of focus for individual Diamond Dust members in GBC
Umiri and Rana are worse cases because they're both members of the bands being promoted. So I'm exclusively looking at Mewtype here since Fairiy Bouquet only exist to be antagonists to Mewtype and aren't suppossed to be actual characters. They're as relevant as Mutsumi's dad. Or Nyamu's family

I do find it amusing that all of the bands that have been added since MyGO have been live bands. Can't resist those sweet concert profits.

Reading it a second time, maybe Erika told Komichi about the girl who confessed to her because she wanted her to be jealous so they are dating after all? It's quite subtle, could be either way.
But trying to stop girls from being in love because they hug in public is absurd.
And Erika's design is completely ruined.

>>4592648
There seems to be truth to the idea nips don't know what to do with romance when the 2 leads get together other than nonsensical shitty drama
Thus it's best that manga and LNs end with the couple getting together instead of trying to explore actually dating. Because going beyond the flirting into actually dating as couple seems to be when lots of stories go full retard

>>4592649
That's more of a problem in manga. LN does a lot better imo.
That's why I have long thought yuri manga should have the romance as a subplot to avoid the bullshit contrived dramatic writing that just ruins romance. Food yuri, sports yuri, comedy yuri, alcohol yuri etc all have much more pleasant flow. Most mangaka are too retarded to handle proper romance especially after they get together, and honestly the tropes until they do get together aren't all that interesting either. It's always the characters and chemistry that hard carry the manga.

You understand it's not real drama between them, right? The idea is to just pretend to break up, while the issue is not the girls turning gay but all the public displays of affection at school. Ai even says it's fine if they do it in private.

Personally, I think MyGo was the highest quality the series has ever been in regards to writing. Mujica was ok but too on the nose about its themes. As for Yumemita, I only find Viola's antics interesting so far, everything else feels much worse than both MyGo and Mujica. Yumemita is closer to the older bandori formula but worse due to the lack of Chu2

Me too. She looks cute and handsome as hell

>>4592728
For me MyGo was amazing, Ave Mujica was great but with lots of ups and downs, emphasis on the downs
Yumemita is just okay at best. It has its good moments, but it just feels kind of aimless. The characters barely have any connections to each other, the barely funny comedic bits keep getting interrupted by serious moments, the serious moments get interrupted by unfunny jokes, and all of those get interrupted by Viola stealing the show

>>4592741
>>>/cm/

Feels weird being the one who prefers Yumemita amd finds MyGO almost boring . I hope they don't try anything like that ever again except in more MyGo stuff.
At least the menhera melodrama nonsense made Ave Mujica interesting and fun. When I watch cute girls do drama stuff, I want fun and MyGo almost wasn't it. It also felt devoid of any memorable yuri (if it was there, I don't remember it). Soyo/Anon, unless I have forgotten, feels made up by fans.
All this to say, while I like MyGO , I don't see it as this great masterpiece or anything.

>>4592741

>>4592771
>Soyo/Anon, unless I have forgotten, feels made up by fans.
I like anosoyo but I kinda of agree. I love the concept and their scenes together are great, but there isn't much of it in the actual show

>>4592771
MyGo felt more mature because they handled some of the issues in subtle ways, while Mujica was too crazy and explicit about everything. It's like telling a joke and explaining right after. Yumemita is pretty much as >>4592768 points it out, It's running wild and lacking coherence sometimes. Viola is carrying the show alone.

>>4592778
"mature" "subtle"
And there it is. "MyGo is mature and subtle for mature and subtle people like me". The worst part of MyGO: The fans are the band equivalent of pretentious fart sniffing Madoka fans who put the show on a pedestal and shit on everything else to pretend they're smart.
>too crazy and explicitr
Some people like fun and entertaining characters.
Yumemita is a good balance of serious and cute funny stuffl. The whole cast is great and while I like "Viola" the whole "she carries the show" is bullshit. People exaggerate her role to downplay Yumemita and keep glazing SleepGo
Miyako, Ritsu and Arale feel gayer than anyone in MyGoMujica who isn't Hatsune (or maybe the MutsuMortis/Nyamu bit at the very end). Also Mewtype doesn't have a member I can point out as neglected in the same way Rana and Umiri are

>And there it is. "MyGo is mature and subtle for mature and subtle people like me"
Projecting. MyGo IS more mature and subtle than most works in the genre. It has nothing to do with how "mature" japanese pop culture is as a whole or its target demographic.

If you think that Ave Mujica's childish portrayal of mental illness and teenage angst is better than MyGo's subtler and more human depiction, then I have nothing else to discuss.

>Miyako, Ritsu and Arale feel gayer than anyone in MyGoMujica who isn't Hatsune (or maybe the MutsuMortis/Nyamu bit at the very end)
Even this is debatable because without Viola Yumemita's "yuri" falls back to the older bandori formula of using it for inconsequential quips. Hence why I said she is carrying the show.

>"Viola" the whole "she carries the show" is bullshit
Remove Viola from the show and you have drama about...eh...hmmm....there's that member who feels bad because her old band disbanded, maybe? It becomes a comedy.

You can talk about the writing without acting like a fart sniffer who thinks he's all smart and superior and intellectual for liking a TV show
You can have your preferences, like I do mine. The problem is you sound like cretins. Funny that you say I'm insecure when this all started because I dared not like MyGo as much as your cult says I should. Regardless of what I did in the past (maybe I did, I honestly don't remember. But I do remember defending the show), you're the one running defense when I said I didn't like MyGO as much, like it is a personal attack to you
Pretentious means what you're doing: taking a simple grounded drama and acting like it's a deep masterpiece everyone must praise acting like those who don't are stupid
"caricatures" tend to be more fun and entertaining than "grounded" characters, yes.

>>4592797
>>implying comedy CGDCT without drama is bad
You can discuss CGDCT shows that only use """yuri""" as humor segments on /a/

>>4592809
You can also discuss drama that doesn't use yuri at all (MyGO) in /a/
This argument doesn't work when you're defending a show where the most famous couple is completely fan made because it lacks actual shipping because "grounded" doesn't allow for shipping moments

That is anti-critic schizo. He just sort of calls everyone pretentious as soon as any conversation passes the bounds of his middle school education. He also just calls anyone an X-tard. Sakugatard, Mangatard, MyGotard, etc. He is a brainlet with a severe complex about being such a brainlet and so just immediately lashes out about everyone "trying to be deep" or "being intellectual" or (lol) "being educated". You are better off just not engaging with him as soon as you see anything that suggests it might be him, because you're not going to get an actual discussion out of him, just him flailing about in embarrassment over being a midwit.

>>4592812
Why are you so upset about personal preferences?
Why are you so insecure that you hate anyone who doesn't assert your ideas are the one and only truth?. Again, personal preferences are fine. Tryng to act smart because you like the "smart shows" isn't This would have been fine if someone had not replied to me trying to tell me I'm wrong because MyGo is "Mature subtle" thus "inherently better". No, a subtle grounded show isn't more mature. You're still watching cute girls doing band things. You aren't better than other BDfags. Except the gachafags. Those are cancer. Gacha and it's fans are cancer

I dont hate yumemita, but i really don't like how all the characters feel like gacha characters. Not sure how to describe it, but they all have a one-note 'gimmick' and they have the type of character design that pretty much spells out their personality from a glance, so gacha players know what they're getting into when they pull for them. It makes sense when they're in vtuber mode at least, but theyre just as outlandish outside of it. Most of the characters in mygo/mujica look normal by comparison for the most part, and their personalities aren't as one-note or gimmicky.
Reminds me of the upcoming GBC gacha, where the new band canna lily looks like the characters were designed with a gacha mindset, and look out of place next to togetoge and even diamond dust (who were intentionally designed to be more idol-ish because the band was chasing trends which is why momo left)

>>4592741
This better not be Erika. What the fuck is wrong with nips? Are you fucking kidding me? Stupid, lazy, cliché-obsessed cunts. Fuck this manga.

>>4592815
Fair, but they're part of a gacha anon. It comes with the territory
While Mygo and Mujica did get integrated into Our Notes, I don't know if they knew about ON or if they planned to add them to the old gacha or if they had any plans at all when they made them. So that could be why they're different. Meanwhile Mewtype was designed as a gacha band with gacha characters from the start

My apologies, I wasn't trying to dictate what you ought to enjoy or not, but objectively speaking MyGo is more mature than Mujica and Yumemita (so far). I'm a fan of the franchise as a whole. Why are you so personally invested in this? Did Söyorin piss in your camomile tea or something?

>>4592815
>Reminds me of the upcoming GBC gacha, where the new band canna lily looks like the characters were designed with a gacha mindset, and look out of place next to togetoge and even diamond dust

>>4592821
Never said Mujica was perfect or free from such moments. But at least right now, I haven't seen a Mujica fan come here to use said scene to act like Mujica is all deep and shit. So I was focusing on the anime being defended,
Even so the episode had funny gay moments like Hatsune walking on all fours screaming Sakiko's name. And then going all crazy when interpreting her sister, the real Uika.

>>4592823
Only oldori. MyGO, Ave Mujica and Yumemita are good because you can perfectly watch them while ignoring the gacha. The gacha connection is indeed far from ideal but there's no obligation to play the gambling simulator, That is perhaps my point of hypocrisy and pretentiousness: I hate gacha and gacha players, even if I feel somewhat grateful because they keep funding the shows. That said, BD also has live concerts, so they can get the money from that. So, for BD in particular I don't see gachafags funding much that isn't funded by the concerts merch and CDs, so yeah,

Other than the absolutely shitty haircut, what's the deal with the male uniform? Wasn't it for the play? Why is she wearing a male uniform? In a girls school. And nobody says anything.

>>4592860
No, it was to seduce Akebi and steal her away to her gay witch coven. She needed the hair for more seduction charms.

>>4592863
Why is Erika applying seduction debuffs on herself, then? The twintails and the female uniform was plenty effective, and everything she did since then was a downgrade

So apparently Erika and Komichi coming out caused numerous pairs of girls to say they were gay for each other and Komichi is getting scared. She doesn't think those girls are really in love with each other and is scared of being blamed when they start to break up. And maybe she is just scared to find out how much power she has now that she is popular.
I think Hiro is trying to say something about parasocial behavior around YouTubers and TikTockers but I don't know that this manga is the best place to do this. I guess its just what he is fascinated with right now so he is going to write about it.

>>4592872
Seeing Erika change may also make her uncomfortable like >>4592969
she is scared of the power she has over people.

>>4592969
I don't get why we should think being a 'lesbian super spreader' at a girls jr high is a bad thing? Is it realistic that the person at the center would get this scared?

>>4592969
If that's the case and he doesn't have Erika and Komichi stay together (along with the other girls that came out) I'm firebombing his house

>>4592969
>your lesbianism is just a phase
Rather rude of her to assume that

>>4592997
Thats only half right. She sees the numbers and thinks that there cannot be this many gay girls in that school. So there are girls who are gay with girls who are caught up with what is popular and they are going to get hurt when those girls chasing popularity stop being gay.

Hiro has a valid point, surly you have seen the acronym 'LUG' before, 'Lesbian Until Graduation'? Its a issue with much older women, as in university age. Komichi and Erika being public could have triggered such a thing early at Ryobai.

File: what is she doing to that girl.jpg (611 KB, 1200x1707)

If Akebi is being presumptuous about anything its thinking kids her age shouldn't crash and burn in their first romantic coupling completely separate from any issues of gay or straight. And really could there be a safer place to experiment and fail than at Ryobai? Its a almost perfect laboratory for trying this.

Thing is there is a non zero chance that Komichi's mom Yuwa falls into this category. Back before he was juggling two manga and had time to tweet and draw omake he used to draw a portrait of each character on their birthday. Three or four years ago he drew this one of Yuwa, but its of her at Komichi's age in her own first year at Ryobai. She was a tomboy prince, more or less Erika.

File: 17-1.jpg (1.12 MB, 1200x1707)

>>4593026
But then there is this flashback page when she is twenty or so meeting Sato at a drinking event and tells him her goal in life is to 'play with her children until she dies'. And they haven't referred to it since. However she isn't reacting to Komichi's behavior and surely she knows about it. She ditched school and televised it so she HAD to have gotten in trouble even if Hiro thinks that its too normal an event to draw it for us.
So there is a real possibility that Yuwa once behaved something similar to Komichi and Erika in her day. But is now a mom and married.

>>4593021
That is just one manifestation. She is really scared of the power she has to influence other people and how it is already causing things to happen that she never considered possible. Erika showing up with her hair chopped was another.
And it is also being exaggerated in her mind. Yes she should understand that its not her fault if most of these relationships end badly, and its not her responsibility to consider how others react to her performances. But she is going to have to learn this, and right now she is just shocked that it even exists.

>a bunch of the 5 star reviews are from people who were literally involved in the project or people just going "WOW AMAZING!"
>actual bell curve is between 3.5 and 4 stars and almost all the reviews are that it's visually nice but the story is disappointing, meh and poorly paced
Unfortunate.

>>4593259
tbf a lot of those middling reviews seem to also come from people being disappointed that the film doesn't match the horror vibes of the trailer. Maybe the story's fine but just generic and doesn't meet the hype.

You can tell she was close to crying with the little mouth and eye movements too but held it in.

Not even dating yet and already getting a divorce

What I gather is that Goodbye Lara was actual bait and Precure is gay. Is this right? I need to know what to binge in the future since I'm not watching anything this season.

>>4593318
Its seems if only because the faggot director for some reason, baiting, actually refered to yuri in an article out of nowhere.
That said, Precure is never going to be yuri, its literally aimed at little children, actual little children. and its not the 90s where all kinds of stuff were aimed at children.

>>4593319
The director said Goodbye Lara is 'not a typical yuri story'.
He's right. A girl falling in love with a boy is indeed 'not a typical yuri story' on account of not being a yuri story at all.

>>4593318
>Goodbye Lara was actual bait
Nothing to suggest it's bait atm. Currently very yuri, check back in a month to see if there was an unexpectedly tragic or friendship end.

In his defense if he doesn't deliver, he said he wanted Lara and Mari's relationship to have depth and complexity so that it would avoid being a "typical 'yuri' anime". He never referred referred to Lara as a yuri anime.

You'd have to be a genuine retard to believe this. To be completely oblivious to any and all forms of narrative structure while not even having even a basic understanding of symbolism.
The people calling it bait either haven't watched it or are just shitposting. The same type of person to drop Shuukura and call it bait because Sendai said she's "not into the whole girl on girl thing", or drop Girlfriends during the arc where Mari tries to be normal because they are incapable of seeing the obvious plot progression.
At absolute worst it'll end without a kiss like G-witch, but anyone with eyes can see it's not ending with het

The word "typical" changes the meaning of the line, he IS referring to it as a yuri anime. Unless whoever translated that decided intentionally to phrase it in the most unorthodox way possible for no fucking reason

This is accurate. We knew from the begining that a character that looked like the prince would appear, so the hope was that he would only show up midway through the series and act as a true love fake out. And that's exactly what seems to be happening now. Obviously it could still pivot into incoherent bullshit like many an original before it, but I'm pretty optimistic.

>>4592741
Bowlcut is so ugly. Might as well go full Joan D'Arc.

>>4593329
If he thinks he can make a super friendship story without it being generic, then he is a retard. The problem with typical "yuri" anime is that they are not yuri.

>>4593433
Can anyone verify this??

>>4593334
>anyone with eyes can see it's not ending with het
This will not end well.

>>4593437
I can verify you are replying to a shitposting retard. Last week's episode was an entire episode about how Lara's heart does not react at all to the male character.

>>4593319
Precure has several canonical yuri couples, you uncultured sow.

>>4593336
>The word "typical" changes the meaning of the line, he IS referring to it as a yuri anime
And the phrase "I did my best to avoid making it that" means he does NOT want the anime to be yuri.

>portray their relationship with strength and complexity
At no point is actual romance or love mentioned. For all we know, he might think super friendship is a relationship that features strength and complexity

I'd call you mentally retarded, but I'm sure your parents, doctors and school board have already done it plenty.

"So where's the picture?"

Ignore and report retards, you're doing them a favor by stopping their brain from deteriorating any further!

>>4593444
Clearly. It should teach people when they're getting sold bullshit, and how to avoid it.

In other news
Moon on Rainy Night confirmed for 2027, so next season is confirmed to be literally empty. Hope you have chosen what to watch or rewatch from your backlog

I'm still gambling on Vertex Force to have a side couple

>>4593482
Don't count on it, even if there will be some pseudo yuri couple in it, all gonna be into the shota MC to be paired with.

>>4593072
I remember seeing a teaser for this like 1 or 2 years ago and then completely forgot about it
glad to see they at least managed to finish their project

>>4593482
>het harem "yuri"
>ever worth it
You have 2 options:
-crazy comedy lesbian like Kuroko who is in love with one of the harem girls and is shown as a hopeless loser to shill the MC in contrast and show yuri as a pathetic thing compared to het
-"lesbians" going "actually you're special. It's different if it's you" to male MC showing lesbians just need to meet the right man
It's hopeless.

To the faggots who recommended Kore Kaite Shine,
thank you, i really enjoyed it and am eagerly awaiting the next episode. I love these types of doujin stories

>>4593329
This comment is so anti yuri.
He's implying that a "typical yuri anime" doesn't portray the relationship with "strength and complexity". This retard knows nothing about yuri and it shows in the shit he wrote.

She was so cute early on, there was no need to change her for the worse once, let alone twice.
But lots of authors just can't into cute x cute, it has to be handome x cute or it's not het-coded enough.
It's telling that the progression started as soon as the author went for the lesbian route.

Whoever it's aimed at, Mahou is yuri. They even kissed in their transformation.

Precure will never confirm yuri, that's true. But a lot of seasons have intentional varying levels of tease free of het. Like Luluka and Kurea in Meitantei or Sora and Mashiro in Hirogaru or Liko and Mirai in Mahou.
