>>4598592Recording Nagisa's screams so she can schlick to them later goes far beyond creep.
If I got a dollar for every time a Yaya lose to a blonde alien, i’d have two bucks which is weird considering it’s so specific and happened twice
>>4601801Which is the second?
>>4601805Roka lose to moon alienHanayamata Yaya lose to american alien
I think we can safely consider AnoSoyo canon at this point, right?
>>4601814Of course.
Tenmaku no Jaadugar went surprisingly hard on the subtext on this final episode both for Boraqchin x Moge and Toregene x Fatimaplease tell me there will be a second season
>>4601814>>4601818Nope. And I'll never understand people defending this nothinburger, yet shitting on other subtextsIf AnonSoyo is canon, everything is: Revue, Nanoha, every other Bandori ship. Even hoyoshitSymphogear, as long as 2 girls are in the same show or game and don't love males, they're canon apparently
>>4601856>as 2 girls are in the same show or game and don't love males, they're canon apparentlyCorrect
>>4601856
>>4601859The irony is that this is how het and most yaoi "couples" work; nobody really questions much, if not most, of these couples and their "existence." The same silly complaints that yuri series have with any level of yuri are almost nonexistent when it comes to het or yaoi. Age difference, incest, coherence, chemistry, canon, and even if one of them is already married or in a relationship, are all irrelevant to the fans.

Why does this retard have a stick up his ass about subtext anyway? It must be trolling since he just uses buzzwords and offers no real argument.

>>4601984You're imagining things
>>4601984The developers remember
>kore kaite shine episode 10Great episode. Hikaru got a ship (at least i like to think so) and Akafuku weaponizes her autism. Next episode seems to be a school festival episode, which I love, and i saw Urara there too. I love her petty rivalry with yasumi>grow up show episode 11Ouka and Mizuka go on a date, I like it. Not sure how they're going to tie up everything in one more episode, but I hope they manage to do it satisfyingly. I think both the competition and Maria's crisis being crammed into the last third of the series is a bit much tho. Wouldve preferred a more modest climax instead imo, with more of Mizuka bonding with her troupe members.
>>4601874I have an stick up my ass againt overrated shit I'm suppossed to like and act like masterpieces while everything else is shit in comparisonLike Madoka or in this case MyGO. Cringe is itselfr a buzzword and not a real argument and it was the MyGO cultist using it, so shut up about muh buzzwords and muh no real arguments, because the ones without real argument are the MyGO cultists>>4602054The Maria drama is what happens when staff tries to justify an adult loli design with plot instead of just going "we wanted an adult loli, fuck you"
Also, reminder all MyGO couples are made up by fans and the show itself is not even subtext. Perfect friendship show. Subtext only works with what MyGO tards dismiss as "caricature emotions". Their overrated "grounded realist" shit reduces subtext to nothing and the only yuri that works is actual maintext, real yuri. MyGO would need to be a real yuri show like KimiShinu is (and I'm not hearing another round of semantics autism), but Bushiroad will never cross the line, so MyGO is a nothingburger friendship shit I'll take "caricature for children" or whatever MyGO tards dismiss other shows as that actually at least have some yuri subtext over "muh grounded subtle realistic" whatever with no crumbs
>>4602068>Bushiroad will never cross the lineThey did in d4dj before so they could again
>>4602069I hear D4DJ is not them. Either way, when the only explicit Bandori couple happened with a break up in mind (Viola/Miyako), I'm not trusting Bushiroad with ever making Bandori yuri. Feels like trusting Hoyoshit to make yuri in their post HI3 games (Genshin, Star Rail, Zenless)
>>4602066>>4602068Meds
>>4602091I was asked about my issues, so I explained. Also clarifying I've no problem with subtext itself. I've a problem with certain shows being glorified and being used to attack other shows
>het horror (art only)>cross-dresser slop Damn, Tsutsui Itsuki has really fallen off. Her yuri wasn't particularly good, and she couldn't end a series to save her life, but still
>>4602097
MyGo? Yuri.Ave Mujica? Yuri.
>>4602115I dont see MyGO in that picture
>>4602123You weren't supposed to point that out
>>4602123Not caricaturized enough to appear
>>4602123The only thing they have is Soyo saying Taki loves Tomori but that goes against his crack ship
>>4602135Yumemitard cope
After what happened to ChikaRiko I'm glad that multishipping franchises don't try to go canon anymore, like even in D4DJ HayaKoko kinda lives in her own Arisugawa bubble after the NTR-lite shenanigans with the hags and it's better this way. AnonSoyo it's the better example from MyGo because the main ship was AnonTomo with Taki as a yaya but the fandom did what fandoms do and invented a entirely different ship that now can be shilled without feeling that we lost anything in the process.
>>4601865>>TakiUmi>canon.This is an attack on takitomo
>>4602147No, it's an attack on common sense. TakiUmi has the same level of mental retardation as the "popular" couples in the main Love Live line. It exists because the fans want it to, they justify it with their asses, and thank God this isn't Love Live, because future projects would go to shit just for trying to implement TakiUmi as something real.
>>4602147TakiUmi is much better. Tomori can date female rocks or something.
>>4602144>>After what happened to ChikaRiko I'm glad that multishipping franchises don't try to go canon anymore,Superstar exists, so no, these people have no decency and it was 3 seasons of doing things terribly and trying to please everyone in the worst possible way.>>multishipping franchisesThis is all bullshit and it's not even based on reality. They can say "multi" whatever the hell they want, but there's always obvious favoritism towards some pairings and absolute contempt for others that are so utterly ignored it's a miracle they exist. They might be there, but a fandom full of idiots with inflated egos will refuse to even mention them. HonoMaki has had events and these idiots don't mention them and try to downplay them or outright pretend they don't exist.
>>4602158It's not, the pairing simply sucks, you only put them together because of a lame dynamic that barely qualifies as friendship and an aesthetic that Otae and Layer do better.
>>4602162It's easy to ship TakiTomo because they were planned around that dynamic (aggressive but romantically shy girl x lovely autist) but they lack the same chemistry that UmiTaki have. They're both dorks trying to act all busisnesslike to hide their emotions but whenever they appear together there's just this tension in the air, especially considering what each represents on the grand scheme of things (loyalty + fear or fejection from Taki's side; understanding herself + fear of overcommitment from Umiri's). They're emotional polar opposites in their dilemmas and the fact that they're a MyGo x Mujica pair makes their dynamic even more appealing, considering the history of both bands and whatnot.Throughout the story, Taki is defined by her intense devotion to Tomori, a hyper-fixation that often makes her abrasive, short-tempered, and emotionally unavailable to others. Umiri is the singular exception to this rule. Umiri is the only person who can consistently ground Taki when she is spiraling. Whether Taki is stressed about lyrics, band drama, or her own insecurities, Umiri steps in as a calm, stabilizing force. This dynamic shifts Taki from a state of constant panic to one of rare vulnerability, a transformation she doesn't exhibit with anyone else. She's attached to Tomori as an ideal of perfect synergy and stability, but that's just an illusion she's seeking. It will never come true due to Tomori's gentler personality and their incompatibilities.Umiri works nonstop with several bands for the money. Yet, she constantly "wastes" her free time sitting in fast-food restaurants just to listen to Taki vent, showing that Taki is the only person she treats as a priority over her work. Umitaki's dynamic is built on deep mutual respect, shared vulnerability, and a unique emotional anchor that sets them apart from typical bandmate friendships.
>>4602166>they lack the same chemistry that UmiTaki haveThat's completely subjective sis. The only dynamic they have imo is "friends", not even best friends, or friends with romantic tension, just normal platonic friendship I binged mymuji tlearly this year and was genuinely kinda shocked to learn they were one of the most popular pairings
Whilst I obviously prefer canon, I am willing to accept subtext at times, but I will say that I'm not a fan of Bandori's flavour of subtext. Or rather, there appears to be a trend that the gayer a pairing in Bandori becomes, the more strange the writing around it starts to get.With most other subtext series, when it comes to the gayest pairs, the writers like to push the usual ambiguity, but then sometimes go slightly over the edge into unambiguous/explicit territory, and then leave things there for the fans to have fun with. With Bandori, however, whenever the writers go slightly over the edge into unambiguous/explicit territory like those other series do, instead of just leaving it alone like other writers do, it's like they become uncomfortable, and they decide to introduce some narrative mechanism that acts as a counterweight. This leads to the current situation where the gayest Bandori pairs (UiSaki/VioMiya) come with a massive asterisk next to them.
>>4602248>they decide to introduce some narrative mechanism that acts as a counterweightYou mean stuff like incest and mental disorders? I wouldn't call them a counterweight. It's just another flavor of drama. Purely vanilla romance tropes get stale after a while.
>>4602248I agree. But they do it for deniability not because they're uncomfortable. They want yuri fans to get it that yes Uisaki are a thing but when normies interview them they can go "pfft what are you on about obviously they're family lol". I bet they think they're geniuses.
>>4602166>Throughout the story, Taki is defined by her intense devotion to Tomori, a hyper-fixation that often makes her abrasive, short-tempered, and emotionally unavailable to others.

There's zero tension between them. It's people projecting shit onto them.
>>4601984>mutsusaki
we need a proper BIG series that the whole board is into again so we can actually talk about itkimishinu thread is 90% image
>>4602269>kimishinu thread is 90% imagewew anons really don't like to post images in there, do they
>>4602269Because it's based on a manga, everyone here reads manga so there's nothing new to discuss with adaptations. That is why originals are so important.
>>4602269>proper BIG seriesGreen yu->that the whole board is into againNevermind.
can we stop applying het metrics to justify what is or isn’t yuri? There’s not enough yuri to match a bazillion het produced over decades , after which you’d practically stop ever doubting if a prospective yuri ship will ever come to fruition. i or no one else likes applying strict rules for judging what is or isn’t yuri but it is the reality that we have to. We don’t have enough yuri in this world to trust anyone without skepticism. (I meant to say this as a general statement I don’t know if it applies to any recent discussion)
>>4602272That's fair
>>4602248>This leads to the current situation where the gayest Bandori pairs (UiSaki/VioMiya) come with a massive asterisk next to them.This is literally the reason those ships are interesting
>>4602283As long as those strict rules are defined by me, sure.
>>4602289Only VioMiya is interesting from those 2.
>>4602268NyaMutsusisters...we lost...

i just wanna get lost marathoning multiple shows again....like when i binged knm and yamibou back in 2005....

>>4602303B-Baited for this exact reply. Hmpf.
I hope when WWIII starts Xi drops a bomb on Takeda's place. One of those white phosphorus ones.
Is there actually nothing of interest airing next season? There's just the new Ave Mujica movie and not much else, as far as I can tell
>>4602475There's MahoIku. You remember MahoIku, right? From 2016... Christ, that was 10 years ago.
>>4602475Movie wont be watchable until next year anyways
Time to filter every bandori term
>>4602475Time to work on that backlog
>Goodbye lara leaks are out Sorry to everyone who had hopes for this series
>>4602529Gambling anon was it worth it...
>>4602529I never let my guard down in the first place. I know not to trust nips.
>>4602539It's still yuri in the end, so gamble anon still won.
>>4602529What happens?
>relying on leaksWait until the final episode airs and judge for yourself
>>4602529>>4602539>leaksBET IS STILL ON
>>4602548Excuse me, how else would I doompost and shitpost? Silly nee-san.
>>4602551They're multiple corroborating leaks from people who supposedly saw the advanced screening. So slightly more reliable than usual
>Three yuri anime originals (grow up show, goodbye lara, yumemita)>They're most likely all going to end up being varying degrees of disappointing>next season is a complete drought Never felt this let down with a season of anime before... I had such high hopes for these shows
>>4602595>goodbye lara
>>4602595You forgot Nanoha, we're beating all records this season.
>>4602636Records of disappointment, yes.
Either say what happens in Lara or shut the fuck up please
>>4602595Too soon. MahoAko and Watanare (anime) are like two and one years old so the industry didn't have the time to actually make a real yuri anime yet. Yumemita relied on VioMiya because the vtuber fad isn't as popular aymore, Grow Up Show only follows the overall trend to have some strong yuri subtext on SOL-like shows with all girl casts and Sayonara Lara (if the leaks are true) feels like a wannabe Cosmic Princess Kaguya that tried but failed to use yuri to their favour.
>semi friend contract completeWhile I did slowly fall off towards the end, I did enjoy it.
>>4602648>Yumemita relied on VioMiyaAnd yet nnyn and araritsu are both great
>>4602669>nnyndespite both of them having so little focus I ended up liking this ship the most, they're very endearing and feel the most like oldori l
>>4602595Maybe if you watched yuri series other than Yumemita you could enjoy this season with one of the best anime ever made.
Nitter and XCancel are down again...Why do we have to deal with such bullshit just to browse yuri daily?
>>4602727Now is your chance to practice drawing yuri.
>>4602728Not a reason to stop looking at other artists' yuri.
Ouka and Mizuka went on a date and show how compatible they are
>>4602732I don't know if "love hotels" (owned by Nintendo) existed back then, but I'm sure that if they had found one, the two of them would have used it—or maybe not, due to a lack of money.
>>4602703Which one?
>>4602734>"love hotels" (owned by Nintendo)That's an urban legend (lie).They did, however, operate a taxi service for a time.
>>4602747Ghost in the Shell ends with Motoko merging with a female cyberentity. Literally the highest level of yuri, beyond all physical forms of affection and social spooks.
>>4602747If you seriously have to ask that you either don't care about yuri or are a troll like the retard above.
>>4602595>>next season is a complete droughtI've already made my schedule for the next season and yes, it's pretty terrible. There might be some (like 2 or 3) titles besides MahoIku that could be worthwhile.So many shitty sequels to series that I seriously didn't want to see again.
>>4602757Get that stick out of your ass.
>>4602757The currently airing yuri anime are good, even great, but I don't consider them to be "one of the best ever made"
>>Reiwa no Dara-sanApparently, the anime has increased the yuri vibes (already existing) between these two, or at least the girl who is clearly obsessed with the other in a clearly romantic (obsessive) way. No, I'm not exaggerating.
>>4602936>https://x.com/Goodbye_Lara/status/2099773687859949939>Saburouta in charge of the official Goodbye Lara manga adaptation
>>4602943The fuck?
>>4602927Cool but isn't this the anime with a lot of shota hetlust too?
Any works about a girl who's obsessed about getting a girlfriend, but just cant get one? like, she's keep failing
>>4602957Yagakimi
>>4602956 It’s stranger than that—though, to be honest, it mostly involves just one woman who’s into younger boys, and the boy looks like a girl (for no real reason other than personal preference). The most serious dynamic, however, is a tsundere girl his own age who’s in love with him; the boy is a pervert, but mostly just in terms of what he says.It’s one of those supernatural comedies—with some serious moments here and there—featuring plenty of big boobs (presented somewhat subtly), but what really matters to us are these two; frankly, it’s probably the most normal romance in the series.
>>4602943>>4602945As long as she doesn't handle the script and only does the art, we'll be safe from her doing anything stupid.
Lara will be turned into a gyaru.
>>4603008Rather have the Saburouta brand of stupid if it's yuri than anyone else's genius if het.
