The Jawaness of yuri
What are you watching this season, /u/?
>>4609653Flip Flappers
>>4609653I dunno, are there any lesbians this season?
>>4609656Lesbians are usually seen most often during this season, but the Super El NiƱo affected their migratory patterns this year.
>>4609656There's one in Keroro Gunsou
>>4609656I think Magic Knight Rayearth has lesbians, but that could just be the Spanish dub accidentally changing someone's gender or something.
>>4609657so next season maybe?
>>4609659Rayearth is super het. I don't know about the international dubs, but the japanese original is 1000% straight. The most gay you get is fujobait in the 2nd arc with Eagle and Lantis (but Lantis is also Hikaru's love interest, so it lives up to the bait part in fujobait)
>>4609660Winter we already have confirmed:Green yuriMurcielago (shitty staff. very likely to be shit adaptation)
>>4609670So, nothing of value.
>>4609656Mujica movie this October 16That's about it.
>>4609689
>>4609688What's the point in mentioning movies when no one outside of nipland and taiwan (and maybe some other asian terrtories like China or SEA) can watch them until months later?. No one here is watching the Ave Mujica movie this season
>>4609693
>>4609698What is this AI slop suppossed to imply regarding my comment about how long it takes for people out of Japan (and some other Asia countries) to get access to movies?
>>4609729
>>4609729Probably a bot.
>>4609653Doesnt seem like muchI really miss shows that give me a sense of "this is a new adventure" feeling, like say, Mai Otome's first episode
>>4609698Mmmm donuts...
>>4609693I live in Japan.
https://mtgrocks.com/destroy-all-humans-they-cant-be-regenerated-time-shift-release-date/This is a pretty unexpected one. The Magic the Gathering manga "Destroy All Humans. They Can't Be Regenerated" is getting a "girl-meets-girl" four chapter spinoff set in 2008.
>>4609753Good for you, Enjoy the film
>>4609689>>4609690OFFICIAL????Somebody on the other board will slit his wrists lol
>>4609690>the heat in stonesYou should get that checked if it's hard like a stone.
>>4609689Did Ruri's ass get bigger?
>start watching a centaurs life>yuri kiss 3 seconds into the first episodethat's gotta be some kind of record
>>4609759Hopefully four chapters is enough to print a tankoban so they could include a themed promo magic card. Would be the first chance at getting an official yuri card in the literal sense to go with all the existing lesbian couples that have cards today. Tired of nissa and chandra which have such cobbled together shitty lore that they remind me of harley and ivy. The few other /u/ couples have very little story behind them but at least the art of them is occasionally nice.
>>4609954I believe the previous promos were just reprints, with only the final volume having new art, so I wouldn't expect much. >nissa and chandra which have such cobbled together shitty loreTo be fair that's pretty much all the central characters now, and I don't expect it to get better with the focus on UB sets.
>>4609921>make Kirino a lolicon>give her a bunch of cute girls to interact with>it's a still a straight anime that ends with straight romance anywayWhy are hetfags so disgusting.
>>4610017>Why are hetfags so disgusting.That's their nature, to be stupid and believe they are right, while forcing things that don't really work.The funny thing about Oreimo is that everything is irrelevant in the end. The incest and the romantic drama are ultimately meaningless because the couple breaks up at the end and it's treated as just a phase. What was the whole damn point?
Any yuri this season?
>>4610047Best I can do is MahoIku S2.
>>4610048The giantess probably won't show up again, right?
>>4610052Gigante? She will, briefly.
Is this domestic abuse?
No autistic bang dream melty this thread?
>>4610141
Is futanari considered yuri?
>>4610153No, it's pretty much its own thing since futa on moid can't be considered yaoi
>>4610153No, and it will never be.
>>4610130Child abuse.
just found out apparently the older sister siscon in yuru yuri was originally supposed to be an older brother?Definitely dodged a bullet with that one, wouldve been retarded, especially for a YH series
>>4610207Doubtless a lot of scrapped story elements from basically every story would be head scratchers now when we can see how good their actual choices went. Also that decision happened 20 years ago. Fuck.
>>4610209>20 years ago.I'm 35 now, still young
>>4609759>"Destroy All Humans. They Can't Be Regenerated"at first I thought this was related to the videogame series

>>4610218>Contract Expired:>8000 Year Grooming Planawww I liked her
>>4610052>>4610063MahoIku= Magical Girl Raising ProjectNot to be confused with MahoAko= Gushing Over Magical Girls. Gusing S2 still has no date
Is She-Ra recommended?
>>4610274The animation kind of sucks and all the characters have stupid names, but I enjoyed it overall. The earliest seasons are the weakest, but it improves as it goes on, with a pretty strong final season. If you're into foe yay, or want something with a lot of fanfiction it might be worth it.
Is Asobi Asobase yuri friendly?I remember years ago anons saying there was a yuri paring or something.
>>4610207I heard from Japanese fans YrYr was supposed to have more disturbing themes, like a creepy big brother, more severe bullying, and such stuff for shock value.
>>4610335There is yuri, but the anime doesn't reach that part, and the dykes then got their own spinoff in Outsider Paradise.
>>4610274Yes, it is excellent. Don't read anything else about it and just go watch it free from expectations so you can enjoy it like we did years ago.
>>4610421
>>4610201>>4610228You made it like Taiyaki or itou8 is the author
Coming out next month.>3 girl-meets-girl show story set in extraordinary circumstances Sis what can we expect with this movie?
>>4610236I see. I guess I should go watch the first season, then. I kinda fell out with all these madoka-inspired dark magical girl shows. Is this the one with the trap or the one where the MC's brother gets raped by a dude?
>>4610524>Sis what can we expect with this movie?Grotesque bad end.
>>4610532How do you know it's bad end?
>>4610530>Is this the one with the trap or the one where the MC's brother gets raped by a dude?No.
>>4610530>the one with the trapYes.>the one where the MC's brother gets raped by a dudeThat's Mahou Shoujo Site
>>4610534Did we ever get a good end in a yuri original title?
>>4610549>5 girls>2 couples>SOL in a Cyberpunk worldNo world-ending shit so I can't think of anything bad happening to them.
>>4610549Candy Boy, my guiding light in this dark and miserable world.
shiori and hinako are going to kiss next chapter
>>4610621
>>4610549She tanked the doomed ending and came out the happy end
>>4610632Akuma no Riddle isnt an original series, it had a manga
Just improved
Already better than the original
If only
>>4610645>>4610646there are so, SO MANY normie stories and settings that would have been infinitely better with lesbians
>>4610549Kannazuki no MikoGundam Witch from MercuryHina LogiAkanesasu Shoujo Valkyrie Drive MermaidAnge ViergeKoihime Musou (counts as anime original given how much it ignores the game)Candy Boy
I've heard that lesbians can find a girlfriend by playing the forex market. Is this true?
>>4610653>Ange ViergeI think I somehow conflated this with Cross Ange and skipped over it. Is it worth watching?
>>4610653>>Kannazuki no MikoThis is an adaptation; the fact that it's basically different from the manga doesn't make it an original.>Hina Logi>Akanesasu Shoujo>Valkyrie Drive Mermaid>Ange ViergeMultimedia projects, I don't know how original they can be considered, at least they have several starting continuities.>>Koihime MusouIt's still an adaptation, AoKana could fall into the same category, remove the het, turn it into yuri and discover that the original was stupid and its anime is what made it relevant.>>4610659Yes, it's great, not only because when the MC learns humility and ends up charming her companions who previously didn't notice her, but also because of the explicit incestuous relationship.
>>4610524I have faith in this original movie, this might be our generational CPK.
>angeDidn't think also have some gacha trashfire like Valkyrie Drive ? It's funny how gacha tainted anime projects
>>4610764
Any recomendation of 2 POV oneshot?
>>4610647Like what? I hold out hope that there are yuri equivalents to such stories, or if not, lay it out there for creators to do it kek
>>4610779Define "bad ending" hereIs it a sad separation or tragic ending?. Or something that is badly written?. WfM is certainly rushed and could've been much better (though Lara shows you can have infinitely worse written ending). I'm not gonna die on any hill defending the writing. But it's certainly a happy ending: Miorine and Suletta are married, and aren't separated for stupid reasons and clearly lead a happy life as wivesIn terms of writin the Franxx director is working in Grotesque (which is what started this conversation. Someone asking expectations about the movie),. so I don't expect any segment to have better writing than WfM, given the hackjob that Darling was
>>4610796The problem is that this Anon isn't discrediting the ending, but the entire series based on nothing relevant, simply dismissing it without any real reason or foundation, just because they don't like the series for reasons, even though in general terms WfM isn't a bad anime and is yuri through and through.
Flip Flappers anniversary today. Anons are going to have a stream of it this weekend if you can stand being with people from /a/.
>>4610643>Akuma no Riddle isnt an original series, it had a mangaWasn't it a multimedia project from the start?
>>46108282016 was such a nice year. Flip Flappers, Izetta, MahoIku, Sweaty Ping Pong, probably a few more I can't name off the top of my head.
>>4610048Watched EP 1 of this yesterday, had no idea it was a S2.Also, the girl giving a bento to the boy from the baseball team didn't inspire me with confidence.Is it really actually yuri in any way?
>>4610832Each installment has at least some dykes.
>>4610832Hetbait and comphet, The boy just reminds her of a fellow mahou shoujo that she forgot because memory magic shenanigans watch the S1 if you want to understand some things of this season.
>randomly check harry potter fanart a week or so ago>somebody drew a brat genderswap Draco, kinda cute>remember to check gelbooru todaywell, wow, wtf?needs more yuri material of course
>>4610847We have LWA we don't need genderswap bullshit
>>4610847Mtf will never be yuri.
>>4610850>>4610848See. This isn't genderbend. The idea is that this is an AU where the characters are female from birthSaying this isn't yuri is like saying Fate Artoria x Mordred or Nobunaga x Okita drawings are not yuri because all these characters were men in the real world (or their myth in the case of Artoria and Mordred), even though they were born female in FateIs Sengoku Otome not yuri now because the samurai were male in reality?. I'm not trying to defend the HP trend here, mind you. I'm just being autistic about the differences between genderbend where a male character transforms into female and genderswap where an story takes an existic character, historical or mythical figure and imagines this character or figure was always the opossite gender. The difference between Onimai's MC and Nero or Artoria from Fate
>>4610851None of them are yuri.Not because of MTF stuff but because people need to get some taste and respect yuri instead of begging for scraps from het. Male characters are inherently worse than female characters, who again are inherently worse if they are het. Why would you ever want a yuri version of a male character? Even if said character is King Arthur or Jesus or Karl Marx or whoever the fuck and not Popular Generic Weeb MC #2352.
>>4610852>female Frodo and Sam tho
>>4610852Which is incredibly silly, especially considering the existence of Sengoku Collection, the aforementioned Sengoku Otome, Koihime Musou, and even those odd official series where the originally male protagonist is now female yes, all of this is yuri, they are alternate timelines characters who, as previously mentioned, were women from the very beginning.
>>4610852Even the games thread's resident police larper who is super strict has no problem with Hakunon x Nero from Fate/Extra. Despite Nero Claudius being a male emperor in real lifeYou're being autistic.
>>4610874this surprises me to be desu (not that anon)
>>4610850Why not?
>>4610912>But this is forbbiden bait.jpeg
>>4610853Women with hairy feet
>>4610848LWA doesn't have a bratty female Draco with huge tits.
>>4610830Was it?The manga started before the anime but the anime obviously finished before the mangaI guess it prob was
>>4610935I'll be honest: I never got into it. I watched the pilot OVA and it felt bland and about nithin gin particular without cute art to make up for it (think something more like Sailor Moon level)Harry Potter stuff is a gripping story and visually attractive, even if we are talking about derivatives like fics and AUs
>>4610938>Harry Potter stuff is a gripping story and visually attractive
Here's your lesbian vampires in a post-apocalyptic world!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yOCpx1XKxU
Please help me find this manga, its a oneshot about a marriage broker who fell in love with her client
Moon on a Rainy Night anime previewhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-W1E8Y9Jv0
>>4611039It's actually real
>>4611039>tfw this gets no budget while green yuri gets billionsl
>>4610944So when it's not reduced to a bunch of chaotic clips mixed up with more from two unrelated things it actually shows some appeal.Still, how long are we realistically talking here, considering it's a third of a movie? 30 minutes?Dunno if they can conjure up something satisfying in the allotted time.
The advertising approach has changed since the last chapter.
>>4611066She will fall for her.
>>4611066Please fuck my little sister, thank you.Is there even a term for a yuri enabling oneechan like this?
Swim Swim could've gotten musty OL pussy if she played her cards right. Is she retarded?
>>4611039Saki voice is too high for me.Otherwise looks good. As long as the animation doesn't get too bad.
>>4611039I'm all for it but the character designs look a bit off, especially Saki...
>>4611084She is just a young girl; she still lacked worldly experience and knowledge, which is why she killed her most loyal subordinate over something trivial.
>>4611039Kanon looks good and as rapist ready to pounce, but Saki is a bit off, especially the eyes.
>>4611039The anime is just going to be living in subtext hell since this has a dozen volumes so 12 eps will have no progress.
>>4611123Maintext can never be subtext. No one calls the lord of hetshit slow burns and no progress (Rent Girlfriend) subtext. Shut the fuck up. Even without muh progress, slow burn maintext is still slow burn maintext. Maintext isn't only "they fuck and kiss on screen", you complete subhuman>>4611091A good reminder of what most adaptations are to the people who keep shitting on TaiAri and Kimi Shinu because of some CG or off-model shots or not enough sakuga. Meanwhile, most maintext gets mid quality at best
>>4611093I'll take mid quality confirmed maintext over muh sakuga super deep symbolic direction originalshit that shits on yuri completely like LaratrashThis focus on muh sakuga and direction is why people keep praising Lara even after that awul ending. Some say it's even better than actual yuriSakugatards and directiontards all hate yuri .Kill yourself, yuri hater
>>4611076Need female drill sergeant telling female marine that she can come to her house and fuck her sister.
>>4611145
>>4611039Another case of "the manga has better animations". What a waste, such a great story treated like this. KimiShinu was a miracle.
>>4611147I just hate all the retards obssesed with muh direction and muh animation who keep praising that garbage Lara and ignore the actual yuri and keep pushing copes to sell Lara as the superior show>>4611148Still better than having nothing like this season or wasting time on originalshit with good animation that shits on yuri fans. Of course, Kimishinu was a miracle. Most anime of any genre have mid productions like this. The sakugafests with good art are an exception, in any genre. Yuri is no different.
alright glad im not the only one that thinks saki looks off.also, maybe im confusing my disabilities but do deaf peopleās voices sound mumbled? im curious how kanonās voice is supposed to/going to be portrayed.
>>4611151Kanon lost her hearing when she was a child, long after she learned to talk, so her voice should sound normal.
>>4611151https://youtu.be/3V95p7EtGCI?is=NyQX7RkNuG_n066r
>>4611066I just backread this. Every chapter on Dynasty. This is SO good. She will totally fall for her.>>4611076Best sister ever.>>4611146A classic. Full Metal Yuri.
>>4611063Adorable
>>4610965I only know a Korean one. Love doctor I think.
>>4609507I, Homu
>>4611229FUCK OFF
should i wait for moon on a rainy night anime or read the manga nyow
>>4611234You can wait for the anime and enjoy it as a new experience each week, or read the manga and join the snobs who will declare any change garbage or won't discuss anything about the currently airing series, because they've already discussed everything necessary with the manga.
>>4611229>a card game for friends>not a card game for girlfriendsYou had ONE job.
>>4611229The Kase-san deck is too overpowered compared to the rest. Tomoka cards are too strong and the Yui Queen card being able to attack for free is unfair.Also, the window for RPS and tutoring doesn't display properly.
A Blooming Complex is so great.Now I crave more stories about a loli seducing a high school girl.
>>4610335Yes.The bulk of it is in the latter half of the manga with the Newspaper and Art club, where one of the girls is explicitly in love with another, and the focus of the manga almost completely shifts and has them take over the manga from there on out while the rest of the story gets resolved half-assed in like the last 3 chapters. Then the author made a spin-off featuring just the new girls that takes place in a different timeline than asobi asobase (just go with it) which is very yuri.There's also some side characters like the the occult club girls who are pretty shippable and even adopt their own child who is actually a vampire, who i think was also in love with her childhood friend, but that goes nowhere and ends because she gets scared off by her childhood friends demonic babyThen theres Fujiwara who appears in one episode of the anime who falls in love with a girl, then is never mentioned again.The big plot with Kasumi falling in love with Tsugumi and trying to find out whether or not theyre a girl or boy goes nowhere until i think the final chapter where its revealed that theyre actually a genderless lab experiment sent to protect Kasumi>>4610336>>4610209>>4610207i heard the brother thing actually made it into the manga but got retconned, but i cant find the original mention of it in the manga anywhere. was it in the original yurihime issue or something?
>>4611367>i heard the brother thing actually made it into the manga It didn't. It's pretty much just the pilot chapter on YH. The first manga volume already retconned it.
>>4611234>nyowGet off the internet, Yani Neko.
>>4611374Don't talk to Iroha's wife like that
>>4611240>The Kase-san deck is too overpoweredObviously since is the best series of the 4
>>4611388
>>4611363Have you read yuzumori-san?
>>4611396Oh!! Yes, I have. I totally forgot about this.
The anime formerly known as green: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KPFnP1othM
>>4611471>>4611048The world is so unfair.
>>4611472On the bright side, 10 years ago none of the yuri anime would have any budget!
>>4611471looks like the same company that did whisper you a love song
>>4611475The international phone call to Dave Grohl alone to get the rights for Breed had more budget than the Sasakoi anime.
When are they gonna call Sappho and license lesbian sex for their series?
>>4611471Not enough green
>>4611477>international phone call>costing moneyAnon, it's not the 90's anymore. You dont have to have the whole family huddle around the phone for the 30 second international call from your long distance aunt
>>4611471Not really feeling the VAs tbqh
>>4611474And that was the way we liked it!
>>4611471Damn the difference in quality between this and Moon is night and day.Gonna buy BD for both as usual when it goes for yuri titles if they gonna release them of course.
>>4611486You really wanna fund more shit like green? Poor writing like this deserves the toilet.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot about the fact that I dont even like the Green manga.
>>4611487I support any yuri anime being made by always buying BDs of it, that's a rule more people here should do.
>>4611475>looks like the same company that did whisper you a love songWell, it's CloverWorks so you're wrong.Anyway more casts!https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2026-10-08/the-guy-she-was-interested-in-wasnt-a-guy-at-all-anime-1st-promo-video-reveals-more-cast-staff-/.242641
If it were up to me, I'd give Greenshit the Rainy night people. And I would have Rainy Night adapted by the people adapting Greenshit
>>4611505Just accept that good things don't get big money. Only bad things do.
>>4611474Strawberry Panic 20 years ago was pretty good for its time and it's also better than some stuff made today like the absolute disaster of SasaKoi.>>4611490I do the same thing, with drama too, but I will never not hate that I'm forced to buy such bad works just to support the genre.
>>4609507Wait we have three Homus now? What's next the Homu who laughs?
>>4611677new madoka movie shows that
New reildex show will have yurithese are the rivals in the 2nd or 3rd~ arc
>>4611748Wake me up when MisaMisa finally come out of the closet.
>>4611748Well, maybe not since they've already toned down the violence.
>>4611764Hope they keep the violence in Moon.
>>4611748Itās sad and pathetic how this series in general tries to appeal to an audience it has never given a shit aboutāespecially considering how incredibly important the three male leads are.
>>4611790There's three of them now?
>>4611797Since the end of World War III, there have been three protagonists: Touma, Accelerator, and Hamazura. The last one is literally the harem lead for the group "Item" (the one from this season's spin-off), with one of the members as his girlfriend and the other two flirting with him here and there.
>>4611748>expecting yuri from Raildex>>4611808>male harem MC in the new spinoffAmazing how this series can't get a single thing right.
>>4611668Those nails gotta hurt inside
>>4611748No thanks.
Got our English review for GROTESQQQUEhttps://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/grotesqqque/anime-film/.242677>The closing segment, āNocturne: Nuit Grotesque,ā marks a major shift in pace, easing concerns that GROTESQQQUE might get too overwhelming. The animation's just as beautiful as in the other segments, but it loses the hyperactivity; the soundtrack switches gears from J-pop to classical. This is a serious post-apocalyptic vampire yuri drama with intriguing reflections on mortality ā imagine Girls' Last Tour meets the Marceline the Vampire Queen backstory episodes of Adventure Time, if Marceline had a polycule. In this short's world, vampires can see the residue of death that humans can't. Vampire souls are immortal even if their body gets killed ā and rather than taken as a source of comfort, this idea of an everlasting soul beyond the body is treated as a source of pain. Thought-provoking and emotional, it's the one part of GROTESQQQUE I can safely recommend to viewers not fully accustomed to Imaishi-esque, extreme, hyperactive anime nonsense.
>>4611840
Please rec comfy fantasy I begI'm reading Konya , Aether de Machiawase and it nails the coziness despite the fantasy only being within a videogame. Witch and Familiar is great too.>I'm in love with the villainess>Akuyaku Reijou no Oyome-sama>The Fed-Up Office Lady Wants to Serve the VillainessToo seriousOneshots too if you have em please
>>4611843What degree of explicitness are you looking for? Because there's a bunch of stuff like Hakumei to Mikochi or Slime Taoshite. There's Neji's Beauty and the Beast Girl. Since you're okay with oneshots, there's probably a fair amount of content to be had in Touhou doujinshi, which are frequently pretty fantasy and comfy.
>>4611748i still cannot believe i was obsessed with the Index franchise for a timeand just htinking about that series now makes me mad how het it was
Whoever recommended Koisuru Asteroid to me many, many moons ago, thank you.I finally found some time and motivation to read more than just the first few chapters and also picked up the anime now, it's nice. Sure, it's subtext, it's mild, but I enjoy it.
>>4611471I wonder how far they will get.
>>4611809>expecting yuri from RaildexI was expecting the scene from the manga but the anime is already changing things so who knows if they'll keep it. Wonder how much of this was in the LN.
>>4611888Reminds me of that one manga adaptation that added random yuri fanservice to *every* scene/I was really confused when I watched the anime.
>>4611888One or more of them lusts after the male MC. I just know it.
>>4611902That implies they'll make it to the Raildex timeline.
>>4611888This series lives off cheap fanservice, which will ultimately be completely irrelevant. The target audience for this series is the handful of idiots who didn't consider Index obsolete after season 3, even though, ironically, Index only exists to promote Railgun, which literally uses moe bait. The other spin-offs are just an excuse to milk the people who stopped caring about Index a long time ago.>>4611902>>4611915Index is a less complex series than its fans want to believe (the novel where Touma faces Otinus gets stupider the more you think about it). These girls only exist for fanservice or to lust after one of the protagonists and absolutely nothing else; in the best-case scenario, they're swept under the rug and never reappear (like the trio from the underground tournament).>>4611890It's not that strange, it's just the way these kinds of projects grab as many viewers as they can, without really giving a damn about those viewers.
>>4611471It should have been more green
>>4611840The whole cringe essay couldn't even mention how long the thing is, but the fact that it mentions two segments in very different styles doesn't bode well, feels like more of a gimmicky animation showoff than trying to tell a meaningful story.
>>4611958If you had paid at least a modicum of attention you'd know this project is literally that and it's 3 different stories back to back.This isn't a "gotcha" or something, this has always been crystal clear from the start back when they announced it years ago.
>>4611471>the green she was interested in wasn't green at all
>>4611959Thanks anon, you made realize 'grotesque' is the name of the whole thing, I thought it was just the vampire section of it, that's what confused me.The length is still the determining factor though, can't do much if it's just half an hour, but if each section gets a full hour this one could possibly amount to something non-forgettable at least.
>>4611961Seems to be 104 minutes total in length, probably spit evenly into 3 parts.
>>4611962Meh, so less time than the average ova, not expecting anything then, will be like reading a oneshot at best.

The most fascinating thing every time a new Raildex shows airs is finding out that some people here stilll give a shit for some reason I can't understand. It is het. All of it is and het is all it will ever be. Why bring it up here? It's just neverending LN hetshit with shitton of spinoffs. It has 0 value to this board and will never have it. That entire franchise belongs in /a/, not here. And it will always belong there and never here
>>4611985>some people here stilll give a shit [about Raildex]Sunken cost fallacy, or trolls.
>>4611367It was an onii-chan during its initial debut in Yuri Hime S, where it had the two chapter special, and thats the only time iirc. Then obviously it got switched to an onee-chan during the actual release. Still weird that the first impression of Yuri Hime's most iconic series in their debut release was of a male character stealing panties, even if he wasn't shown. I've dropped yuri for less before
>>4612008Best retcon ever, in my opinion
>>4611985You still have people bring up Hibike sound euphonium and it's spinoffs too.>>4612008It was a different time
About Koisuru Asteroid, I just learned that their dream came true.Capable yuri astronomers found an asteroid that they named after Ao.>(697402) Ao>Ao Manaka is a character in the comic/animation Asteroid in Love created by Japanese manga artist Quro. Ao and her friends enjoy Earth Science Club activities in their high school with a dream of naming an asteroid āAo.ā The work encouraged many readers to study Earth and planetary sciences with its accurate depiction of celestial objects and geology.
>>4612027Impressive. Now rename NGC 6357 to "Madokami Nebula"
>>4611985You sound like you're desperately trying to convince yourself.
For anyone that watch madoka movieWasu is into selfcest, isn't it?
>>4611854The BD has a cute bonus part where the two main seiyuu go to the geological museum and space port from the show and learn about science and hug each other. One thing that always amuses me about seiyuu is that they must always think that they'll never show their shoes on camera because they'll wear the nicest clothing but they'll always have on the dirtiest, most beat-up pair of New Balance sneakers on the planet.
>>4611855The anime was announced back when volume 3 came out so I think there's a good chance it will do the whole high school arc which ended soon after that announcement.
https://x.com/yuri_fair/status/2108515680996012380?s=46this is embarrassing. i wouldve expected more integrity from the people running this event, especially when you quite literally work with actual artists. ive lost a lot of respect.
>>4612045What really got me was that chapter about Valentine's chocolates and true love chocolate. Ending on Suzu's statement that it's real this time and urging Misa to accept her feelings.Seeing the pace of the anime, this could very well be in it, even though I'm not that far yet. I wonder what they did with this. In this light-hearted fun, those serious notes just hit hard.
>>4612034I sound exhausted of people bringint it up every time the anime industry dexides to milk it some more and release some show and people bring it up hereWhat makes it different? Why do people understand not to mention other harems and hetshits but fail to apply this same rule to Raildex?
>>4612069Maybe people believe one day the Raildex franchise will release a yuri spinoff, like some het harems did in the past.
>>4612069People bring up tangential yuri in het shows all the time here, it's one of the purposes of this general.
>>4612069>>4612074>>4612075The general problem is that Index is a Het series, focused on a hetfag and waifufag audience; any other element like yuri or even girl friendship is just a way to attract people who don't care about the main story, but these people have always been dishonest in their treatment of non-Het elements and, in addition, foolish people giving it merits it doesn't have.
How do I cope with getting baited by Sayonara Lara. It's actually made me sad, not raged, sad
>>4612117Learn from your mistakes and do better next time.
>>4612117It was not bait, just yuri with a shitty ending.
>>4612050https://x.com/yuri_fair/status/2109069745286959156Event cancelled.What a way to celebrate a 10th anniversary.
>>4612151Is yuri over?
>new Avatar came outI'm guessing.....there's not much for us with how young the new leads are....
>>4612155Everyone is Indian now, poo-bending on the menu>>4612154They admitted to using AI on other promotional stuff in a reply on the original tweet so it wouldn't surprise me if the decorations, signage and other stuff for the venue were also AI generated garbage.Can't really go ahead with it now can they?
>>4612151absolute blunder which could have been EASILY avoided. how bad of an organization do you have to be to not understand the sentiment of AI in this field? its so out of touch and proves they dont actually care about the product.
>>4612117By rewatching Cosmic Princess Kaguya
>>4612151>What a way to celebrate a 10th anniversary.Of yuri?!
>>4612117Remember that the possibility of a shitty ending makes it all the sweeter when a work defies the odds and delivers an ending that is both narratively satisfying and unequivocally yuri. It's rare, but it's happened before, and it will happen again.
>>4612083>The general problem is that Index is a Het seriesThat could change over time since Yuri is getting more popular than ever.
>>4612155Not with that attitude.
>>4612192Not in the main continuity, which is basically the only one, since the spin-offs take place in the same universe and the author won't stop praising his male protagonists (Alstral Buddy anyone?) The author is stuck in the 2000s.
>>4612151im not even anti-AI, but using it in to promote an event full of creatives has to be the most boneheaded move possible. The equivalent of promoting a music festival with AI music, it's just a spit in the face for the community, and i really doubt the explanation of the marketing being outsourced as their response tweet made it pretty obvious they were aware of and supported it beforehand. Having the event cancelled because of the fuckup is a shame though.
>>4612192I wouldn't watch it even if it did end up going full yuri in some spinoff or something.Maybe back in 2013 i wouldve, but im not wasting my time watching a bunch of het just for some halfassed (likely noncanon) yuri at the end anymore just because they want to throw a bone to yurifags because its trendy
>>4612265>Not in the main continuityAs long as Yuri continues to be popular than Kamatachi would ease to give Yuri something back to return. >>4612267That's true but I would take that opportunity though if I'm Kamatachi.
Maybe I'll get some hate for saying this, but I kinda miss it when homophobia was a more common drama trope.Nowadays it feels like they'd rather go for a sudden love triangle instead or the fear of coming out just amounts to "if I confess we won't be friends anymore".
>>4612294So you just want higher steaks and more drama, or is this also about some deeper storytelling, girls actually figuring out who they are and how they feel about girls in general and not just that one lover?
>>4612294I only like it when the homophobic girl turns out to be the gayest.
>>4612296For the former, I wouldn't say that I want "more" drama, just some more variety.And I don't really mind the "you're the only one for me" trope so not exactly the latter either.But the higher stakes and more introspective aspects of it are always nice.
>>4612266All the yuri artists that participate in the event are now losing what is in effect a yearly bonus in the form of merch sales. Really unfortunate.
>>4612266>>4612312just another case of boomers being dumb or cheap
>>4612271You're giving too much credit to someone known for, as I said, being stuck in the 2000s. Come on, even Nasu, with the same problem, has done better things, but they don't work that well either. The obligatory het is in his veins. The most yuri something like Railgun has is in the filler that Index fans hate so much for showing that the relationship between the girls is important. The main work makes it very clear how important the men are (that's why level 5 girls are inferior to level 5 men).Anything yuri is either accidental or the work of someone else, but as long as it's subject to the same continuity, it will never change. But for a spin-off in another continuity, it would have to be a radically different story.
>>4612294>>homophobia was a more common drama trope.The current problem is that it would feel a bit cheap to resort to that element. I understand the idea, but it's not something that helps develop a romance that much. It might work for some lesbian drama, but not for a yuri as such.>>"if I confess we won't be friends anymore".I think this is getting mixed up with the childhood friend syndrome, where the friend feels comfortable in her status quo of being the friend, and out of fear never crosses that line. Then a new friend arrives who doesn't have that same invision. In the end, people just make fun of the friend for being a coward and not understanding that losing that friendship can also be a problem; going back to the way things were isn't as easy as the viewer thinks.
What the FUCK is going on?
>>4612338I would say it's just people's interest in the series, but there are 2 problems, one is Nirvana and the second is a handful of mentally retarded people who project themselves (in the wrong way) onto the premise of the series.
>>4612341>handful of mentally retarded people who project themselves (in the wrong way) onto the premise of the series.It's funny how the same people that are staunch advocates of using the right pronouns and not misgendering people sure enjoy misgendering characters and pushing their agenda onto them.In a way they're even more heteronormative than actual hetfags lmao.
>>4612344The worst part is that even when they are proven otherwise canonically and officially, they prefer to live in their bubble and echo chambers (especially with a nest of stupidities like bluesky).I just hope that by the time the real anime premieres, those people will be busy with other nonsense or they'll all have been devoured by the Tremors worms.
>>4612341>there are 2 problems, one is NirvanaHey, if I can put up with decades of saccharine cookie cutter jpop openings, you can take one season of dad rock.
>>4612367Both are shit.
>>4612367Actually, I wasn't saying that Nirvana's music was the problem, but rather that it would give the anime recognition and notoriety for the wrong reasons. In fact, that was the reason why "those" foolish people came to know this series and give their wrong opinions.
>>4612367>>4612374Personally, I've never had a problem with J-pop and its derivatives; some work quite well, and others are forgettable. No, mainstream series don't do things right; those are the most mediocre openings and endings imaginable and I'm not even talking about the pseudo-artistic garbage for snobby assholes like the openings of Tokyo Ghoul Season 2, Fractale, Horosu Mosuku, Kaiju N8 Season 1, and a whole bunch of other crap. Openings and endings are a sensitive topic for me. I hate it when people can't distinguish an opening from just the song, and I'm prepared to strangle them with my bare hands to prove it.
I prefer it when anime OPs are death metal like PassCode.
>>4612379The scene is much more varied than people think and just complain about (those people don't watch anime). Although I remember disasters like the opening themes of Zombie Loan and Mushigyo, whose openings were mediocre and their songs didn't help, I think that's part of the reason why those series failed.
I skip the OPs and EDs unless they're kino, like the Nokotan OP.>dadrockMaybe they'll come for the Nirvana and stay for the yuri?
>>4612384>>I skip the OPs and EDs
>>4612384>I skip the OPs and EDs
>>4612376But it wouldnt be 5 fucking million views 5 million views is like super normie territory. CSM first trailer from 4 years ago on CR only has 8M and that was one of the hypest things (at the time) to come out
>>4612420We'll have to wait and see how things turn out. The series has already attracted the attention of the general public, for better or for worse. It depends on what the staff does with the series, and we'll see how it goes. If we've had more ordinary series gain notoriety and weird memes, anything is possible.Remember that X user who said Botan wasn't popular even with the yuri audience? Good times.
>>4612338Youtube changed so now it counts anyone clicking on a video or autoplaying even if they click away a split second later, instead of the old method which was some formula based on actual view time. It is still massively more popular than the average yuri anime though but the numbers are going to be inflated.
Why we never got a custom made spoiler thumbnail fro the board?
>>4612473Because nobody gives a shit about this board. We don't even have dedicated mods, so everything here is done half-assed with no actual passion for the hobby or connection to its community.
>>4612473Never asked for it.
>>4612475>>so everything here is done half-assed with no actual passion for the hobby or connection to its community.Doesn't that apply to other boards as well?
>>4612485Right now yes, but at least they had a time when the mods were part of the community.
finished episode 5 of larai dont know what happens but just based on the light theme and her experiences so far, her love has to be towards humans. this cant be yuri. if theres bait for me to bite on its too weak.
>>4612494>her love has to be towards humans
>>4612485Do our sticky images from 2010 not answer the question?
>>4612294Me too, characters needing to hide their love just makes everything more intense and intimate for meAlso this >>4612298 internalized homophobia is delicious
>>4612463>Youtube changed so now it counts anyone clicking on a video or autoplaying even if they click away a split second laterI think on mobile, even the autoplay while scrolling counts as a view now>instead of the old method which was some formula based on actual view timeIt used to be at least 30 seconds of watch time to count as a view
>>4612494>When you're so wary of biting into yuribait, you don't notice the hook promising good writing jutting out of your lip.
>>4612500that woman is 75% torso
>>4612532>our sticky images from 2010I feel so fooled. I could swear there used to be different and more recent images not that long ago, featuring manga and anime such as YagaKimi, Citrus and Sakura Trick.Also I'm seriously always surprised when I'm reminded how old that SonoHana OVA actually is. Time is a bitch (derogatory).

>>4612780Is it just me, or does it have better production values than the first one?
>>4612780Woah!
Best op songs only: Domestic na Kanojo and Tokyo Ghoul (never watched them tho), and a few from Bleach. Best ed song and video Ninkoro, Lycoreco. Best full op and ed KnM, New Game, Yuri Yuri, Non non biyori.
>>4612780
>>4612781we get like one fully yuri h anime for decade, so it might as well have good animation while its at it
>>4612780>You cannot buy this product from the country/region you live init begins
>>4612796Although I said that because I could swear the first one had Queen Bee, though I could be wrong. Personally, I had to fast-forward through the first OVA to make sure no men appeared so I could watch it without any issues. I don't trust the hentai industry.>>4612798I'm sure it's been like that for a while now. For example, Melon went even further by directly preventing malicious foreigners from accessing the site, requiring a Japanese phone number for registration, and offering terrible options for purchases from abroad.
>>4612800Aren't these animations indie projects?. This is why they take so long. It's basically the creator and their friends doing it, not any major studio. Thus why the first was so limited.
>>4612338Dumb story but at least it's monogamy so it's okay to wash Watanare's stain. That shit's budget should've gone to Sasakoi.
>>4612804Frankly, that just speaks to how mediocre the animation of Queen Bee is, because the first OVA had the same production values as that studio.
>>4612780What is this?where i can watch the first one?
>>4612808

I'm not one to buy LNs but I've been wondering.How common are box sets? I kinda want to get all of Adachi & Shimamura but if there's a chance we'll get a box set at some point I might as well wait a little more.
>>4612937I disagree>>4612938now this will be interesting
>>4612939Are you talking about a localized copy or the original jp book? The answer for both is that it depends. Sometimes when a jp final volume comes out for an LN the bookstores will sell a store exclusive box you can put all the volumes in. I don't see this happen for LNs on series I follow but I have a few for manga. For localization it really is up to the licensor if they want to bundle it in a new way when the series finishes. I also haven't seen that happen yet other than otherside getting omnibus versions that merge multiple books into 1 binding.
>>4612947I'd probably be getting the EN version, yeah.Wonder how the number of volumes correlates to their decision making.Adachi and Shimamura has 13 + the side stories, so a box set for that would be pretty huge huh?
>>4612937Indeed, some should be about converting straight girls into lesbianism
Himaji's new project with childrens book author Yuko Fukuda. Comes out December 15.Will it be yuri? What kind of yuri can a childrens book author write?
>>4612971oneeloli
>>4612977Writing a book for grade schoolers that accepts 'girls can love girls' would be epic. Somehow I doubt it. Probably nothing more than what we get from Precure.
>>4612987>> Probably nothing more than what we get from Precure.Do you mean girls who are openly in love with each other, or two girls acting as the mothers of a fairy girl?
>>4612987>Somehow I doubt itIt's grade schoolers, they don't even experience and understand how their bodies work. This target audience is literally too young to understand the topic.
>>4612990Then explain the last couple seasons of Precure?
>>4612990I think you're vastly underestimating that audience, especially considering they're the ones most open to yuri; it's the teenagers who are stupid about yuri, especially Western ones.
>>4612938after watching it multiple times, i come to the conclusion that this anon >>4612800is fucking retarded for daring to compare the animation quality to Queen Bee slop which to this day is borderline colored manga panels with the bare minimum of motion to justify it being animated and for it being an indie project it has better animation than most shit released nowadays
https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/b0cnslm47n?language=ja-JPCollaborative yuri storytelling game, seems pretty similar to the "Once Upon a Time" card game. Kind of lame that that cards aren't illustrated though. Also, where the hell could you find six players for this?
>>4613054ććµćµ
Wasn't somebody trying to shill a robot anime this season, Vertex something or other? The MC is a shota, so I'm not sure if the trailers were misleading or if the poster was just an idiot.
>>4613062Nope, never brought up here.
>>4613062The Shota is literally the MC (yes, I'm seeing that). The CG is pretty mediocre and I could swear it's only CG to have consistency in the size of the boobs and forced ecchi, but even with the girls having robot Stand powers, the Shota already showed to be superior to his sister with ridiculous ease, frankly it's pretty bad.>>if the poster was just an idiot.Partly yes, on the other hand, and to be fair, at the beginning the Shota character wasn't shown and it seemed like a normal all-girls project, then everything went downhill, even though it's in the same vein as FAG, but there's literally 0 hype and it honestly deserves it, too mediocre for now to leave an impact and that's saying a lot in such a bad season.
>>4613054I don't see the point of buying this if there are no illustrated cards at all. At least the other yuri card games look nice when I don't play them.
Just finished Uta~kata.I didn't care for it, the show is het for like 95% of the runtime. Ichika does get kissed by a girl, but its revealed manatsu is just a mirror spirit born from Ichikas reflection, and then she disappears (twice if you count the special), so not sure if that really counts, and the rest of the show is her in love with a man.There was also a (maybe) subtext side couple with her two friends who comfort eachother after one of them gets dumped by a guy, and the two girls can be seen holding hands and stuff for the rest of the show after.There was also a lot of stuff i expected to them to bring back up, like Ichika's childhood friend subplot, or Satsukis backstory, but theyre never mentioned again. Bit weird, but im glad the show didnt do what a lot of series tend to do and give everyone a detailed flashback and instead let you fill in the pieces yourself.
Happy 20th anniversary!

>>4613519>ćććI feel as if they always feature the same story in a slightly different setting, but I haven't read this one. Expect it to be very soft at best. Do you like robots? If so, you might like this one.
>>4613519handholding, so maybe
show so bad it killed yuri hime's ććććć !ē¾åå¦ę³!https://x.com/nanaoku_h/status/2110698507732754488?s=20
>>4613555>ććć>I feel as if they always feature the same story in a slightly different settingIronically, that has never happened, not even with the same author, and thatās true even when works share certain similarities, as is the case with Hidamari Sketch and GA. This is something that simply doesnāt occur in Shonen Jump or at that other publisher known for having the most stale, uninspired light novels.
>>4613587I mean it's not meant to be a bad thing. I loved Koisuru Asteroid for example, I was the one who just picked up on it.It always seems to be a kind of typical CGDCT kind of story, 4koma, a group of school girls with one shared interest having some light-hearted fun with that specific interest. Meanwhile, they might get flirty with each other, there might even be some clear cut love interests and those might even be at the heart of the plot, even though it's soft. It's always fluffy, wholesome, innocent.Just a very similar vibe, it just feels the same, and that feeling is good. since that's my subjective impression, I could just get drawn to these stories because of my subjective preference for everything fluffy.I'm thinking specifically about Koisuru Asteroid (obviously), Hatsukoi Rail Trip, Bocchi the Rock and K-On.
>>4613472>>4613473Really feeling that marketing change here.
>>4613604Context?
>>4613913Like Hibimeshi, they suddenly embraced yuri in all the promotional materials after the broadcast run ended.
>>4613915>>suddenly embraced yuriWell, you couldn't really call it "sudden" per se; the animeāboth Hibimeshi and Ruri Rocksāplaced a certain emphasis on the *yuri* elements, or the relationships between the girls. The fandom embraced these pairings with great enthusiasm, and the people in charge of promotion simply capitalized on what the audience wanted to see. This goes to show that there isn't actually as much of a disconnect between those behind a series and its audience as many might claim.
>>4613917>Ruri RocksOh, I heard about this one and decided not to check it out because it seemed like some cute geology story without yuri. Was I mistaken?
>>4613925>Was I mistaken?Indeed>>4609689>>4609690
>>4613917It also shows subtext is to be taken seriously. After all, whether it's overt or not, it was deliberately put there. Many argue against subtext because they think it's the same as two friends acting close with each other somewhere. That is often nothing. But when someone writes a story they make choices that communicate something. Sure, it may end up being bait sometimes. But in the case of Ruri Rocks with that author, it was very clearly going to be serious. Hibimeshi was also really sweet and well done. There was intention. People who are virtually illiterate always let intention fly right over their heads.
>>4613943Exactly; if itās there in the first place, itās intentional. Many people seem to have lost sight of what subtext actually is, they havenāt the faintest fucking clue what it means or how it functions. Itās not about "free interpretation" or making assumptions; itās about seeing what lies beneath the surface, something that is entirely intentional. Excuses about "female friendship" are just that, excuses. Anyone who has actually watched these series can see that, even in the gayest of contexts, there is a clear distinction between love and friendship among the characters (nobody pairs Nagisa with Yaya in Strawberry Panic!).
>>4613866
>>4614003Seems kind of early.
how is "Food for the soul" yuri-wise?
>>4614185beautiful.
>>4614185If you squint really hard, you'll find it. The official accounts make a substantial effort to ship these two characters >>4614450And the manga adaptation is going beyond the events of the anime, so we might see more of that
