Oguro: Reina’s finger touching Kumiko’s lips had a lot of impact too. Whose idea was that?
Ishihara: (silently points towards Yamada-san)
Yamada: Sorry for bringing out that seductive atmosphere between Kumiko and Reina. (laughs)
Oguro: Ha ha ha ha ha! (laughs)
Yamada: That kind of late night sensation came during work on the storyboards. I very much enjoyed that “writing a love letter” feeling it had. Kumiko gradually appeared to look like a young boy during the mountain scenes. I thought “giving the feeling of a young boy falling in love one summer” would be nice. It’d be a “first” for Kumiko.
Oguro: Like a first kiss?
Yamada: I don’t know how to say it. Like a first experience.
Oguro: I see. (laughs)

Kumiko was like a boy falling in love after a kiss one summer. Pure, unfiltered adolescense.

Of course not.

Oguro: When I saw episode 8, I thought “So this is what a yuri work would be.” It’s a different yuri than what men fantasize.
Ishihara: Yes, yes, that’s right.
Oguro: I’m not that familiar with yuri manga as well, but this wasn’t the soft fluff that they feel like; this was a work staged in the real world much like a manga for older women. That temperature also felt realistic.
Ishihara: That’s right. But it’s an example of how Yamada can go overboard occasionally.
Yamada: What?! (laughs)
Ishihara: I thought so in Tamako Market. It was awfully realistic.
Oguro: What, is that true?
Ishihara: She’s awfully serious when it comes to depicting yuri.
Oguro: But you don’t think of it as yuri, Yamada-san?
Yamada: That’s right.
Oguro: I thought there was also some yuri in Tamako Market.
Yamada: Ah, that’s right. Surely you mean about Midori.
Oguro: That’s right.
Ishihara: I agree. That’s somewhat serious too. (laughs)
Yamada: Is it?
Ishihara: Well, that doesn’t go to where men want yuri to be.
Oguro: (interrupting Ishihara) No, no, if Yamada-san doesn’t think it’s yuri, then it’s not!
Ishihara: (continuing on) What men want is a bit more giggly chuckly…..
Yamada: (interrupting both Ishihara/Oguro) Calm yourselves down! (laughs)
Oguro: Sorry. I got a bit excited.
All: (laughs)
Yamada: Okay. So I’ll say it clearly: I don’t think that’s depicted as yuri. I wanted to depict adolescence.
Oguro: For which case?
Yamada: Probably for all of them. For Tamako, for Reina, for all of it. I wanted to depict adolescence!

>>147710889

pushing Kumiko with Shuichi in season 2 would be the worst idea ever since they got ZERO meaningful development in season 1.

>>147715824
>Kumiko will come together with Shuichi

Oguro: And you don’t have to worry about making her seem feminine either.
Hanada: Yes, there was no need to do that. Based on that foundation, I found Kumiko an easy character to use in moving the story forward from a protagonist’s point of view. As such, I had to be careful about the situation between her and Shuuichi, to make sure this romantic subplot didn’t become too prominent. (laughs) And when it was animated, it was even less romantic—a further one or two steps back from where the scenario was.
Oguro: I see. So that doesn’t mean that what was depicted in the scenario was removed; it’s just that they were thinned?
Hanada: That’s right. The conversation with Shuichi in episode 1 changed a lot.
Oguro: It was more of a lovers’ quarrel, wasn’t it?
Hanada: Right.
Oguro: If I have to say, it felt like the animated Kumiko was not thinking of Shuichi in terms of romance.

>the animated Kumiko was not thinking of Shuichi in terms of romance.

>>147716033
They are not changing plot of the novels, so there is no argument. Plus S1 had big focus on SHUICHI liking Kumiko, and thus disappointment of Tuba girl realizing it and her "support" in their relation.

I am not even sure Shuichi will play the major role in S2, since they come together near the end, which is later and S2 focuses more on side characters stories than Kumiko and Reina - but the end remains the same.

>>147716033
>the animated Kumiko was not thinking of Shuichi in terms of romance.
I'd take no proper pairing over something with Shuichi to be honest.

>>147716217
>They are not changing plot of the novels, so there is no argument.

It's not outside the realm of possibility for S2 to be the final season, with an AO ending that actually makes sense.

What significance could Shuichi possibly have later on that can convince Kumiko to choose him?

>>147715968
ah yes, a perfectly platonic friendship

>>147716462
>What significance could Shuichi possibly have later on that can convince Kumiko to choose him?
The theme of Adolescence, is growing up. Just as Utena broke out of the chick shell and got over the yuri and entered the real world - so will Kumiko too

Most male KyoAni MCs are really adorable. Shuuichi is not.

Honestly if you ignored light novel baiting, and paid attention to the show only, you would definitely know this is a yuri anime.

>>147717915
It's not even that I don't like him but as the production team mentioned there's just no feeling of romance between them. Don't get me wrong there's definitely implications that she may have had feelings for him in middle school but there was no development between them at all during the first season aside from repairing a damaged relationship from those earlier times.

>>147720322
>>147720850
I meant Hazuki telling Kumiko that Kumiko likes Shuuichi.

>>147720894
Hazuki misunderstood. You can tell by Kumiko's reactions that she does not secretly like Shuichi. It's a common enough trope.

>>147720894
Because Hazuki is the authority on Kumiko's feelings, yes?

>>147720952
This
The show even explicitly points out that Midori and Hazuki don't understand or get Kumiko

Brass = hetero
Strings = homo

>>147720894
I wonder where she's getting the idea from. I think there's some ground to argue that Kumiko may have had a romantic interest in Shuichi from events before the anime but not so much over the duration of the first season.

>>147720127
>yuri googles
>"unbiasaed perspective"

>Hazuki misunderstood.
Hazuki acted an impulse for Kumiko to realize she does indeed has feelings for Shuichi, which she didnt give thoughs before.

>>147720689
How are they not biased? If someone is a strong supporter of LGBTQIA+ rights and wants to see those groups represented more, obviously they would be biased and want to interpret it as a romantic relationship. If say, someone who posts on /pol/ interpreted an anime as "anti-white", would you trust that person to have an unbiased opinion?

>>147719304 said nothing in S1 suggests it. Hazuki outright states it.

>>147721119

You're misinterpreting what we mean by this. There's no interaction or characterization to suggest romantic interest.

>>147718047
>you would definitely know this is a yuri anime.

>If say, someone who posts on /pol/ interpreted an anime as "anti-white", would you trust that person to have an unbiased opinion?
False equivalence because /pol/ is pro-white and thus is automatically biased.
But LGBT officially only want equal rights, so they would officially see no problems with a heterosexual pairing.
But you have a point.

>>147721119
>nothing in S1 suggests it.
Sorry, most of us prefer to take our romantic cues from the characters themselves, not from some third party.

>>147721182
>I don't think that's depicted

>>147722116
>These two scenes are the only ones that get posted when people bring up the yuri bait?
Their date night is the most impressive interaction between the two, but it's far from the only one.

It's Shuuichi who gets barely any scenes with Kumiko.

>>147722116
There's the train scene, the only when they change uniforms, and others. These two are just the kiss now! scenes.

I don't want it to be yuri because that would mean Reina would be giving up on Taki and would only be settling with Kumiko as a second place prize. Kumiko does not halfass things she's set her sights on or settle for second place.

That said, I wouldn't mind if Kumiko and Reina made out every once in a while.

>>147702783
It wasn't yuri, Kumiko and Shuuichi are dating and having sex every night

There are time when Reina joins and it becomes a threesome though, not that it's unexpected since this show is a harem

well judging from kyoani their girls show(and the boys in free) acted like they are full homo most of time but actually straight
I still dont get why yuri fag dont see this is stupid bait for them? they should get mad since they treated them like fool and lead them around but I cant judge them much since seem like good quality yuri show are rare

The former.

>>147724811
Squealer did nothing wrong

>>147724781
Oh please, there's going to be just as much bait on either side. Kumiko is going to have moments with Shuichi, Reina is going to have moments where she longs for Taki, and there will be smatterings of Kumiko x Reina yuribait throughout, with nothing solidified either way.

>>147724781


Both most likely, like S1. Nothing romantic ever happens and both sides are left with their """"proof"""

>>147724948
Excellent. It'll be nice to see Reina lose her cool, composed demeanor.

Well yeah, but that´s basically just Kyoani ignoring male/female romance completely.

>>147710948
>Ishihara: Well, that doesn’t go to where men want yuri to be.
Isn't this a bit offensive?
They think that most guys take on yuri is that girl need to have sex right there?
And what about women?
Do women realistically think all yuri means adolescence or a phase to grow up from?
I know that in jose aimed at adult women yuri doesn't exist at all, but hell there's quite a lot female yuri authors for whose yuri is something serious than poor adolescence phase.

I want kumiko to sit on my face

>>147725604
It's just arguing the difinition of "yuri". Nobody ever agrees.

>>147725604
Yuri is whatever you want it to be. I like this approach

Interviewer: Now I’d like to hear your thoughts on yuri. It might not be the most elegant question, but if you were to state your personal definition of yuri, what would it be?

Ayana Yuniko: Now that’s a difficult question (laughs). Sometimes it’s a direct extension of friendship, sometimes the boundary is more vague. I think recently I’ve become more accepting… Or maybe I’ve just grown up enough to gain some perspective. I’ve come to think that “if there are two girls together, it probably counts as yuri”. When I was around high school age, I had a strict set of rules for the genre and would discard anything that didn’t fit, like: “yuri should be defined as follows…”, “Aoi Hana is the pinnacle of yuri, nothing else even counts!” and all.

I: You were a yuri fundamentalist, so to speak.

Ayana: Exactly. Like Kamakura and the other Yuri Danshi characters, I would scream: “That’s unacceptable!”, and I was ready to fight for what I thought, too. But I’ve come to think that whether the girls at the center of it all are aware of it or not, if everyone around thinks it’s yuri, then so it is.

>>147725604
No, it's more of a different focus.
Men are typically not as interested in the nuances of romance.
Shonen typically has a token female and a few key scenes with her and the MC, and possibly the MC saving her (or vice versa) and at the end they're a couple.
There is shonen romance as well, but even then you have less love for the detail of interaction, and more focus on the cuteness of it all.

>>147724931
You know, i actually just wanna look at cute girls being cute with each other. If they actually kiss and confess and all the yadda isnt that important. Kyoani just makes very well animated girls acting cute.

>>147725734
>Aoi Hana is the pinnacle of yuri, nothing else even counts!
I assume she hadn't yet read the last chapters when she thought that.

>>147710948
>Yamada: Okay. So I’ll say it clearly: I don’t think that’s depicted as yuri. I wanted to depict adolescence.

>>147724931
>since seem like good quality yuri show are rare
Understatemend of the year, anon. I'd murder for an actual good Yuri show or something like Eupho to be more than just bait at the end.

>>147725896
Maybe it's a business thing. If she says "Okay, it's yuri" it adds a flag on the show and that would cut part of the target audience.

Sometimes I'm envious of yaoi fans, yuri is such broad term coming from asexual close friendship between two girls to explict sexs between two at the same time no wonder no one really knows where the boundary of it.

That's a bit sad cause with that many authors go with clear yuribaiting with two girls fully knowing they will never turn it into something romantic/serious between them.

Current yuri bond with cute girls shows is unholy union of waifuism and yurism.

>>147725989
Meh, that's what manga are for.

People get too worked up over Kumiko & Reina's relationship as if it's the only thing that matters. It's not even a main focus this season. Least if it's an accurate adaption of the novel which seems so since it's PV introduced the drama going on between Mizore & Nozomi.

>>147726120

Wait, are there other people on this show besides Kumiko and Reina?

>>147725604
>They think that most guys take on yuri is that girl need to have sex right there?
No, that meant they want yuri in the traditional sense, never go too explicit and "just a phase"

It´s less that they hate their fans and more that they cater to their wishes by removing most romance and instead inserting /u/ subtext.

just people girls do it in real life, doesn't make it the same thing. you don't have the same lighting, lip bounce, music, etc happening. that's what makes it a tease. they're making small touches and the two of them together look romantic. where as the rest of the interaction between characters is textbook anime high school shenanigans.

I just wanted a good realistic yuri anime for once, why did Kyoani have to say it was adolescence

They ruined this anime, everything about it was perfect, but they spoiled it with what they said afterwards. In isolation this would have been the perfect yuri anime, they even confessed their love to each other

Fuck you Kyoani, you ruined your own anime without even anything being wrong with the anime itself

You want Yuri? Then fuck off and watch Yuri on Ice. Hibike is about music.

Kyoani only adds yuri subtext to a lot of their adaptions. They also added Dekomori/Nibutani yuri subtext in Chuuni. The source material of Euphonium has nothing to do with Yuri.

I'm fine taking that as yuri more than Hibike, tbqh senpai. Shinka's admittedly a bit more up in the air, but Dekomori strikes me as pretty gay. The fact that she's an OC makes it all the more easier to believe, as well.

>>147727563
>Just like we got a kiss in Chuuni S2 after all that cockteasing
I didn't even care about a kiss in the show. All that mattered was that they're together and happy in a mutually loving relationship. We know that a kiss will happen eventually.

There will likely be none of that in Hibike. At this point the safest bet is that there will be no relationship and we'll be left not know what the fuck will "happen eventually" for the characters. A kiss isn't the closure. An "I love you" is closure. Except in Hibike, where apparently even that doesn't close the book on anything.

They're straight.

They lust after cocks.

They imagine themselves getting impregnated on their wedding night, wearing a snow white dress, as their husbando shoves his throbbing manhood inside their delicate flower and makes them his own.

Dramafags making a drama out of the question if the characters are gay or not.

>>147729378
>why did Kyoani have to say it was adolescence
Just because it's "adolescence" doesn't mean it's "lol just a phase". Adolescence is when most "romance" takes place irl or so I'm told
