I've read up to vol 6 and am looking forward to anime.

Because it's Shirow's concept, the setting is like a tech prequel to GitS's (but a lighthearted one that doesn't take itself very seriously)

Cyberbrains are just starting to be adopted (stuff like regulations are still in the way of them becoming widespread)
Thermoptic camo is in the prototype stages
Even the highest end artificial limbs and bodies are pretty obviously artificial
AIs as advanced as Clarion's are almost unheard of (an expert assumes she must have some remote operator)
People with full body prosthetics are rare and Nene is one of a small number who have adapted well
That alone made Nene a person of interest to leading cyberneticists, but as the story progresses it also seems she's the first human with an instinct for hacking

>>1947745
Why does Uzal tell Nene that Clarion is a cyborg? And does Nene ever find out Clarion is actually an android?

>>1947755
>Why does Uzal tell Nene that Clarion is a cyborg?
She doesn't exactly. She just says her body is the same.

>And does Nene ever find out Clarion is actually an android?
I'm not sure whether she thinks Clarion has an organic brain or not. That might not be important to her.

>>1947745
>Draw a boy, call it a girl and now it's yuri
I'm so fucking sick and tired of your shit Japan.

>>1947783
>DFC = boy
Damn you're a retard.

>>1947783
The other way round is annoying. This is not. Even before seeing how girly she is aside from DFC.

>>1947783
>>1947793
I never saw Nene as a boy. She seems pretty feminine to me.

>>1947745
>dem joints

>>1947795
>>1947795
Just realized nene = boy in Spanish... Now I can't get that out of my head

>>1947783
You're way to used with bishounen characters that looks like a girl.
Can't even recognize a girl anymore.

>>1947800
Japanese and Spanish have a really weird connection with words that mean completely different things.

So Nene is a cyborg and Clarion a gynoid. Cool.

Can a good anon refresh my memory and say why is Nene a cyborg? Accident?

>>1947823
>Accident?
Yes. I think her parents died in that accident too.

>>1947823
They refer to it as an accident (事故), but her desire for world peace makes me think it wouldn't be a surprise if there's more to it.

They were able to give her a prosthetic body because she already had a cyberbrain as part of treating some disease called Pyxis syndrome.

Believe me, I hate it when Japan does this but I don't think it applies to Nene. I think it's just in a few illustrations that she might look slightly boyish but she's definitely a cute girl in looks and personality to me. If she used "boku" and acted all stoic while fangirls sperged out over her then I'd be right with you. She's not that type at all though.

I do wish that either she was shorter or that Clarion was taller though. I like it when yuri couples are the same height. It's not a huge deal though since they're still really cute together. Just my preference. Incredibly glad they're both flat though.

>>1947783
No. keep in mind that in this series, most guys look like guys, not bishonen, so Nene looks obviously female.

Before any anon cries about this page, the context is this:

The older dude noticed that Nene was feeling down, so he asks her why. Turns out Nene feels that Clarin is mad at her, so Nene's worried sick. So the dude asks her what she wants to do about it, and Nene ays save her, she wants to save Clarin, cause she likes her!


In other words, it's extremely related to a yuri thread.

See earlier panel where she uses daisuki, which happens when she finally sees Clarin again.

>>1948001
>>1948588
Why did she call her Clarin? It's a nickname?

>>1948767
Yeah, it's her nickname for Clarion. Besides being shorter, the hiragana rin has the impression of a cute name ending (she also gave Cla-chan a go before settling on Clarin).

To me it feels like the Excel Saga manga more than anything else.

Wouldn't surprise me if Shirow's just lending his name and some concepts and Rikdo does the heavy lifting.

That's pretty much how it is, considering Shirow is credited only as "concept creator", not "author".

The manga is credited like Concept: Shirow, Manga: Rikdo. And each volume ends with Shirow talking about how his concept got salvaged and posting some of the art he did, saying stuff like how glad he is Rikdo redesigned the characters and talking about what was different and what bits carried over.

>>1951814

How much yuri is this? I read that this was a full female cast but in Wikipedia I see that there are some male characters like "Robert Altman" or "Ian Krutz"

>>1955064
The yuri is between the two main characters, Nene and Clarion.

It's not a full female cast, it's a setting with male characters, some prominent.

Androids are robots designed to look like humans. Cyborgs are humans with robot bits.
This girl is a robot with human bits. I don't know if that's still a cyborg, regardless if she was a human at first. She's basically Robocop.

>>1955218
Robocop is a cyborg though. I think that as long as you're not completely artificial you still qualify as a 'cyborg'.

>>1955218
>>1955231
By most definitions a cyborg would be an organism deeply integrated with an artificial control or communication system. I think the original papers that used the term described enhancing a human body with integrated biomonitors and regulation systems to help it deal with a space environment.

A human brain and possibly some other parts in a (cute) robotic body is definitely a cyborg.

I quite like that both anime and manga make it completely obvious that both Clarion and Nene have human brains, and are not programmed to be gay or straight.

This should help filter out the usual retards pretending it's not yuri for retarded reasons.

>>1956033
I thought that Clarion doesn't have a human brain. She just has an incredibly advanced AI with free will.

>>1956033
How far have you read into the untranslated manga?
Because I've heard that it is later revealed that Clarion is a robot/android, unlike Nene.

Not that it changes anything yuri-wise, since she clearly has her own emotions, and she'll develop feelings for Nene on her own.

Clarion is actually a highly developed AI that can make her own decisions, and does so. Her feelings for Nene become apparent in the burning building with the Kabapu-knockoff during volume 4, where she goes against a direct command to save Nene.

This continues in volume 5 and 6, where Nene hamstrings her own fighting capability simply to ensure that she does not kill anyone, because she believes she only has the right to be at Nene's side if nobody dies.

In other words, it's even more yuri this way.

>>1956042
That sounds very heartwarming, I hope the anime gets to those points.

Until then, Clarion can be argued to just follow orders, although we can already see that she really cares a lot about Nene. But right there, she really shows her own wishes really well. And the best part is that it looks like we'll see it animated.

This is a bit off-topic but, does Saki ever lose?

I always wanted to try reading Saki, but I hate MCs who always win.

>>1956141
In the story, the main form of Mahjong they play is a team version in teams of 5 where the total team score is counted.

Saki's on the Kiyosumi team and there are times where Kiyosumi wasn't the top scoring team but still advanced (two teams advance every game in the National tournament) and when Saki herself scored less points in a round than one of her opponents.

>>1956141
Yes and no. Saki really doesn't "lose" in that she rarely even plays to win.

Ironically, Saki actually scores very low in every round. In fact, she'll frequently intentionally lose hands so that her final score as the round ends isn't too high.

So no kisses?

>>1956171
>So no kisses?

not a yuri show, so no.

>>1956171
>>1956172
Too soon to tell.

>>1956172
I guess nowadays girl-girl love interests need to keep kissing each other since Vol. 1 to count as yuri.

Silly me, I thought that stuff usually happened at the end.

>>1956176
I don't remember any kiss in those 6 volumes.

>>1956181
Sakura Trick is the line. If it's not that much kissing it's essentially hetshit.

>>1956185
Are there even any yuri series that has that much series except maybe Swap<=>Swap? There seems to be an inverse correlation with how serious the romance is and how much kissing happens in a yuri.

>>1956181
There was already some fingering and data exchange. A kiss should be normal thing for them.

>>1956189
You should look into yuri doujins. Those have a lot of kissing and more.

>>1956264
A kiss is always nice and a confirmation for the non believers.

>>1956264
Girls are more open to PDA in Japan, so holding hands/hugging isn't enough evidence to attest to the veracity of the claim that they're lesbians.

Kissing, however, is.

>>1956316
And what they say is too, there's enough dialogue to conclude they are, without the necessity of kissing.

Let's be honest: if either of them was male, would you doubt for a second that there are romantic feelings involved?
It would be your typical boy-meets-girl story that anyone can see where it is going.

Contrary to popular belief, lesbians don't need more evidence than heterosexuals to prove that they are in love; that's called discrimination.

>>1956316
How about blushing, implying sexual acts and putting your finger into the womb?

>>1956316
>Girls are more open to PDA in Japan
No

>In an age when large-scale natural disasters frequently happen all over the world, when cyborgs and autonomous robots are beginning to appear on the market in technologically advanced nations, and major world powers compete for technology and resources, the divide between rich and poor grows and the future for the poor looks bleak. In this transitional stage, everyone wanders around in a self-indulgent daze and the way out isn't clear... This is the story of how two cybernetically enhanced girls meet.

This description doesn't really describe the show, to be honest. Except for the last sentence.

>>1956531
If either of them was male and this was indeed going where everybody can see this is going, we would have more evidence at some point. Complaining that yuri fans want yuri couples to prove themselves more than het couples is missing the forest for the trees: anime and manga media have not yet reached the point where they present their yuri and het pairings on equal footing. If more direct evidence is not needed for the couples to prove themselves, then why het ones usually end up getting some anyway and yuri ones rarely do?

And as an aside, if an everyone-can-see-it het couple doesn't kiss or get a "now dating/married" epilogue or something like that, rest assured that hetfans would spill as much ink as we usually do discussing whether or not it was legit.

>>1956531
Because het and yuri relationships are not equal. Girl can be portrayed as close with eachother without any romantic feelings.

>>1956541
That description left out one important line.

We may very well live to see the day a show about two lesbians, who openly declare their romantic love for one another, openly display romantic and sexual affection towards one another and have sex. And there WILL be people who will find some kind of nuance to twist until they can say "meh, not yuri".

I don't know. Still, there was probably nothing in manga cause someone would already post it. This is also comedy series so they can downplay it all as not serious.

In the end all we will probably get is some hand holding, hugs and blushing, without anything romantic, that is open for interpretation.

>>1956678
Not organic ones. Lesbian robots and cyborgs on the other hand...

>>1956682
There's plenty posted in this thread, just under spoilers because it's rude to post spoilers for the anime only people.

This is Gokumi after all, most of their shows have plenty of romantic stuff besides what you listed, no reason for this to be any different.

Why? Is it bad expecting from Nanofate some scenes like between Minato and Subaru?

Nanoha and Fate are apparently so deep in love they rise a daughter together, have a home and years of relationship yet some random seasonal series has more romance only because it's het.

And you know all yuri series like YuYuYu, Symphogear, Madoka, etc all follow Nanoha route, while things like Pleiades, Sailor Moon, CCS have real love confessions.

>>1956890
Just another voice in my head

>>1956891
Just HS / Funi for now. I think there's another group planning on subbing but they haven't released anything yet.

>>1956712
That's because not everyone has the same criteria for what qualifies as yuri. If anything /a/ is using the term closer to how Japan understands it, while /u/ (or a part of it at least) has more in mind something that for Japan would fall somewhere between yuri and lez.

>>1956741
Isn't there a saying that no board on 4chan enjoys its subject?

>>1957194
>something that for Japan would fall somewhere between yuri and lez
Isn't "lez" still part of yuri, as in girls' love, by Japanese standards?

From Wiki: "Yuri focuses on the sexual orientation or the romantic orientation aspects of the relationship, or both, the latter of which sometimes being called shōjo-ai by Western fandom."

Perhaps you were thinking more along the lines of Class S stuff, which isn't necessarily a lesbian thing.

>>1957320
Depends on who you ask, really. Japanese fans or even mangaka and editors don't agree any more than we do on what is yuri and what is not.
But yes, that was badly worded. It's probably more accurate to say that for Japan yuri is a very broad spectrum that goes from Class S to lez. /a/ is using a similar definition, while the part of /u/ that complains shows aren't yuri use a more restrictive sense, refering mainly to the side of the yuri spectrum that is closer to/overlapping with lez.

>>1957320
The usual circumstance where a Japanese fan of yuri will say material is "lez" but not "yuri" is male oriented girl-on-girl porn without romance.

>>1957194
>If anything /a/ is using the term closer to how Japan understands it.

Nice try, /a/non, but nope. The regular yuri fan in Japan tends to be quite opposed to that as well. That is why specific yuri magazines even came to exist.

Have a look at the comments the Sonohana people got. They are pretty much identical to common fears on /u/ when we discover a new, possibly yuri anime.

Japanese yuri fandom is much more close to how people act on /u/ than you may want to admit, and certainly far closer to /u/ than to /a/ .

>>1957409
>Japanese yuri fandom is much more close to how people act on /u/

So... Japan claims everything isn't technically yuri too?

>>1955427
I recall that in Motoko's back-story she was one of the first to adapt to full-body cybernetics. You can also draw parallels with their hacking skills and sexual orientation so there's a fair chance that Nene and the major are in fact the same person.

>>1957418
I bet you're one of those people who believes that /u/ hates yuri.

>>1957420
Nene is effectively treated as the first human in her setting to have skills that resemble the Major's (it gets really obvious in ch 25) and due to similar circumstances, but I don't think there's any real chance they're the same person. For a start, I can't imagine Nene is going to have a military career.

>>1957431
I can see it happening after she loses cla-ring.

>>1957420
Oh, I forgot the AI fetish. Another thing they have in common.

It would explain why she went to such extreme lengths to save the AI in the original movie.

>>1957433
>cla-ring

>>1957435
Official subs. You may as well get used to it.

>>1957418
Yes, the japanese yuri fandom does not consider haremshit where the girls all love a guy, but grope a girl once, yuri.

In fact, they don't even consider things like certain precure seasons yuri. Fan-made Yuri anthologies often have rules to keep that kind of thing out.

You may whine that this means that they "hate yuri", but most yuri fans would just consider this a sane approach.

Most people don't follow the Mugino school of thought, sorry.

>>1957420
Parallels, but as far as personality, looks, behavior and interests go, they couldn't be more different.

She's a nod to the major, that's all.

what's good about them?

Not him but I think most people only 'belief' it out of fun. It comes from the fact that the biggest /u/ threads seem to be the one with non-confirmed gay girls while the ones with actual gay ones get less attention.
That even counts for pairings in an anime like VD. For some reason /u/ seems to love Mamori while she is the less (openly) gay character.
