Would be better if he shitposted using proper English.

I'll assume he's on something as it provides a plausible explanation for Mugino's weirdness and insane rantings over on his pixiv account. Perhaps that account is an imposter but we have no way of proving that theory.

I will also assume that 90% of pro-Muginos are just sockpuppets.

I suppose the reason there's so little yuri next season is because of a plot by the Illuminati huh?

Unless someone proves to me that there is a greater possibility that Mugino pixiv is not the Mugino here, I'll assume they are the same.

In any case, some of the rants made by that idiot seem similar enough to what he's written in the past.
>>
>>1901862
Well that's what I guess also. There are quite a lot of gay fanart of this series on twitter, so I'm just curious about how gay it actually is since I can't understand shit.

What is surprising is the majority of fanart I encountered is of two characters which I don't see interact much, in stead of a pair which seems much much more gayer.

I don't usually browse the general but I wanted to ask this question so I hope this is good enough.

What kind of things do you guys like to see in yuri material? Like everybody has things they DISLIKE but I want to know what kind of stuff you guys actually like.

Personally I've got a weak spot for delinquent girls. Brash, crass, hardheaded girls, not necessarily tomboys, just tough girls. The Real Her, Love/Death, Notes from the Garden of Lilies, etc.

That last one ties into my other nomination, girls with scary faces. Hana to Hoshi was good for that.

>>
>>1902286
I like "intelligent" types for thoughtful relationships like in EventuallyIWillBecomeYours. Sakura Trick didn't feel like much to me.

Maybe that's why I like to see yanderes. At least they're putting some effort and thought into their love lives. Upfront with what they want.

Not enough ara-aras. Mature and sweet types really get to me.
>>
>>
>>1902286
Age gap, height gap and monstergirls are my absolute favorite things to see in yuri. While the first two are uncommon the incredibly small amount of monstergirl yuri out there makes me very sad. But I suppose how rare it is makes it all the more exciting when some crops up.
>>
>>1902286
I like sass in my yuri. It gets so boring when it's all just blushing and awkwardness.
>>
>>1902286
I like when it's about cute girls.
This might not seem light much but some girls have issues being cute. Sumika from Sasameki Koto, Shizuma still mad and Amane from Strawberry Panic are good examples.

I'd like to see a second chapter where she's looking at her legs while they have sex, and it makes her even more horny and aggressive, and she finds not only does she love the look, shape, and feel of her legs, but every part of her body. I could also see her really getting off if the girl rubs her leg(s) up and down along her pussy.

Shitty country ruined by war on drugs, it was just a wild guess.
>>
>>1902687
I don't know if she's being completely ostracized. That would imply she would be completely shunned by her community. I won't go that far unless we have a good idea of how her fans (however few), friends, family or her general community are treating her. Her entertainment career is effectively teared up for a few years.

As for drug laws, it depends where it is. From what I've read some European countries (Denmark, Netherlands) have a looser policy. If you happen to be in Asia especially Singapore, Malaysia or China just pray you don't end up in the rope when caught with drugs.

On the Shirobako manga, it's so hard to decide which ship I like most
AoixEma- VP and Pres who complement 'each other perfectly.' I'm also reminded of the Bakuman pair with Aoi dragging a half-reluctant Ema into their chosen path.
ZukaxEma- 'Thanks for being angry for me.' Also Zuka re-enacting a romantic scene from an anime with Zuka

AixEma- The SenpaixKouhai pair.

Truth be told I wouldn't even mind half as much if Shuichi wasn't such a creepy piece of shit. Fuck everything about him and fuck everything about "if a girls acts like doesn't like a boy, it must mean she secretly craves his dick".

>Kyoani could either become the enemy or the deliverer
You're not seriously thinking they're going to go against the source material and make them gay, are you? It's not just unrealistic, it would be pretty fucked up if it did happen.

The best we can hope for is that they'll skip any relationship development, but they know what sells so that's highly unlikely.
>>
>>1903211
>/a/ will be wanting to stir shit
Right on cue.
>>
>>1903211
What I'm thinking is what they plan to do with the story they now own. They are free to remove and add and replace as they see fit. I'm not confident they'll make Reina and Kumiko big gay lesbos all over the place. I just know they have other characters and other options and things we shouldn't assume.
>>
>>1903193
>Are you ready for Kumiko Love Story?
I'm not much of optimist remembering Tamako Market route with first season teasing Midori and movie ignoring that for the het route, since the original material has Kumiko x Shuichi dating I really doubt they would ignore that especially with the movie confirmed too.

Maybe we can be happy with some side yuri couple?
>>
>>1903216
I think it will be pretty much gay but not Kumiko and Reina tho. There's Yuuko/Natsuki and flute girl/oboe chan.

They can take a route that will ensure that the current fanbase will buy and not going "full lesbo" and that is keeping the status quo. Strip the romance out of the story and that's it. They did for season 1, they can keep it for season 2. Sure, it would still be bait, but at least i won't be full het.
Now, what KyouAni would actually do it is anyone's guess.
>>
>>1903227
But they didn't ignore Midori being in love with Tamako in Tamako Love Story. Well, she didn't win, ok.

>Why do you guys care so much about a show which is clearly not yuri and would never be yuri and cluster up this board, while obviously discussion can be provided for show with legitimate romance between girls.

Do you even look at this board? And that's on top of the hilarity of complaining about "clutter" on a slow-ass board like /u/. I'd rather have actual discussion on a show, even if it might turn out bad, than another five imagedump threads that were abandoned after the OP posted just a few pictures.
>>
>>1903733
I never got this about /u/, why care so much about whether canon het happens or not? I'm still shipping InoSaku in spite of the Naruto epilogue.

Your ship might be torpedoed but you and your crew can keep bailing out water.

In any case, maybe /u/ should stay away from discussing Kyoani altogether if we have gotten to this point >>1903199

As for Eupho coming back, yay for more awful shipping wars.
>>
>>1904498
Because some people take seriously a couple instead of just shipping it just because.
>>
>>1904503
Then stick to manga instead of doing silly shit like complaining about how a single thread on a show is somehow clogging up an incredibly slow imageboard.
>>
>>1904498
>I never got this about /u/, why care so much about whether canon het happens or not?
Because we are all emotional here and I won't lie, for me fanart of existing in-canon yuri or yuri subtext couple is much more hot and fulfilling than random pairing up of two canonically straight girls who lust after guys in original material.

Similiar I dislike fanarts which pair canonically yuri girls with guys just for the sake of shipping.

It's just a matter of preference, similiar I'm not much into just porn yuri doujins, I prefer some story build-up leading to sex in them.

I'm pretty much at peace with Hibikek by now. An anon over here said that the author intended to show how friendship between two girls can be a greater force than romance in the books. I don't have any sources for that explanation, but you know what? I'll just believe that. That's fine by me.
It doesn't matter if Kumiko and Reina's relationship never go beyond anything platonic. In ancient times, platonic love used to mean a relationship that transcends earthly desires towards a more divine love, and that's completely okay.
>>
>>1904606
Yeah, really.

Getting emotional over fiction is why the fiction is created in first place.

Yes. Snarky black haired grill the best grill.
>>

Such cute character designs wasted on some filler harem. A shame really.
Mostly the hair though. I like the colors. Especially how well the pictured two look together.
>>
>>1904898
posted it because it's just too cute. A KyoSaya fan can dream...
>>
>>1903259
It maybe a recap movie but it might change things, such as the fist bump. Actually KyoAni changed a lot of the Shuuichi x Kumiko scenes from the novel. The talk after the first day of school might be extended in the movie, as well as the Shuuichi asking Kumiko out scene and of course replace the fist bump with the entwining fingers. So honestly this recap might change it so it follows the original first book more clearly. or not with KyoAni you never no.
>>
>>1904917
The Shuuichi asking Kumiko out was more in favor of KumiRei as Kumiko purposely tried to not go out with him.
>>
>>1904918
Not in the novel or Manga. She was obviously flustered by what he said and was visibly jealous of Hazuki. Anime watered it down vastly. I feel the recap Movie will turn it up so that the second season will make sense. Though do understand second season will have more characters and Shuuichi will barely be in it since that novel focus heavily on Asuka and the second years, even Reina's character only has a subplot. Nozomi, Mizore and Asuka are taking Hazuki, Midori and Shuuichi's place in the second season. But unlike those three these characters will be in the spotlight and main plot.
>>
>>1904925
>I feel the recap Movie will turn it up so that the second season will make sense
You do realize the KumiRei in season one didn't happen by accident when no one was looking, right? Knowing full well what was going to happen in the novels, they chose to write Kumiko's romance differently. They have no reason to do a sudden 180 and alienate a sizable portion of their audience when they can just continue making changes to the novel.
>>
>>1904926
Tamako love story.
>>
>>1904926
and KnK recap movies are quite different the anime
>>
>>1904925
That won't work to people who watch the show
And Shoes had few scene to change for what Reina had
>>
>>1904931
That was never going to be yuri in the first place. And it's not a recap.

>>1904932
Didn't change how a character views someone else. Kumiko doesn't want anything to do with Shoe in the anime, changing that is making a completely different character for the anime watchers.
>>
>>1904940
>changing that is making a completely different character for the anime watchers.
Thing is, KyoAni is not above making that change.
>>
>>1904854
Mugino stop
>>
>>1904962
Even when they already got a fanbase from the first season of the anime? There's no reason for them to contradict themselves when they already changed it from the novel.
>>
>>1904940
Kumiko does like Shuuichi in the anime. There scenes were watered down , but its there.
>>
>>1904601
I think it looks cute anon.
>>
>>1904983
Yeah, the normal reaction being asked out by someone you like is a blank-faced "huh, why?" and introspection about what a pain it is.
>>
>>1905015
And the normal reaction of seeing the one you like approaching is "geh, it's you"
>>
>>1904983
She does like him, like she likes Kazuki or Midori. Nothing beyond that.

I don't get why are you so freaking focused in the romance, though. It's not important in the novels. Hell, the three main volumes never directly address it, and it only gets a confirmation in the last side story with Kumiko and Shuichi deciding to go out and the novel ending right there.

Friendship is the main focus, and KyoAni will likely focus in that, as they did during season 1.
>>
>>1905035
>I don't get why are you so freaking focused in the romance
Welcome to /u/, Onee-sama.
>>
>>1905044
I meant that it doesn't matter in the story. I guess that sounded better in my head than it did when I posted it.
>>
>>1905046
Nah, you transmitted it just fine. But you're on /u/, where the slightest sight of a guy in the story will be indicated as het interest and the series is doomed.
>>
>>1905056
Well, that's how usually is. Hibike, in its anime form, hasn't been like that, though. Its focus was Kumiko and Reina's relationship, to the point of altering romantic scenes that Shuichi did have in the novels. So, fearing a change of focus in the story to romance, that isn't even that important in the source material, seems bit silly.

Whatever you think of Kumiko and Reina's relationship, for the staff is nothing more than "a really close friendship" and that's the story they are telling. Everything else is just fluff to that.
>>
>>1905060
The entire "a really close friendship" thing is just blatant bullshit to avoid commitment.

Just imagine for a second their relationship with one of them being a boy. It would patently be marketed as a romance anime.
>>
>>1905060
Close friendships look like Haruka and Kaori, not like Kumiko and Reina's scene right after them.
>>
>>1905064
>>1905066
I know that. It's bullshit, but that's the bullshit they are selling and they will stick to it until the bitter end.
>>
>>1905064
That's the problem with adaptation - there's already a het romance in the source, there's only so far they can go, but they /can/ get away with that much because it's two girls, whereas it would be different if one of them were a boy. Yuri is a double edged sword sometimes.
>>
>>1905072
They can do whatever they feel like.
>>
>>1905094
Exactly, they bought the rights and can cut and paste whatever they want into the story. If anyone is reluctant to watch it, just wait until the final credits roll in a year or two and watch it then. Any other choice could result in prolonged suffering.
>>
>>1905072
>there's already a het romance in the source, there's only so far they can go
Not really. Adaptations can and do make significant changes to the story. Haven't you ever read a novel that was turned into a film?
>>
>>1905104
>Haven't you ever read a novel that was turned into a film?
The less I think about the Hobbit movies, the better.
Also, much like the Hobbit movies, those changes are rarely for the better. They could perfectly speed up the het romance, or make it dramatic, or a long list of bad things. It is a given that they won't remove it.
>>
>>1905135
Given by who?
>>
>>1905072
There would never go yuri even if Shuuichi didn't exist in novels.
>>
>>1905167
Actually, think about it.
There's a lot of subtext shows (some of them less gay than Hibike) where the author themselves make sure that we know the girls are actually intended to be a couple.
And we buy that, because they're really gay anyway.

So really, the only reason Shuuichi exists is to make her point that the girls relationship isn't romantic. Because no one would listen to her otherwise.

Look at Aria's ending too.
>>
>>1905189
And then there's Akuma no Riddle, where we're told they're gay but they never actually show it.
>>
>>1905189
Didn't Kyoani up the yuri in the anime? I thought the author intended to have het end from the beginning, just focused on other things in the start.
>>
>>1905216
Some people here on /u/ say that the original source is even more gay, though.
>>
>>1905221
And I heard it's not and they even removed some Shuichi scenes. But I didn't read it so who knows.

Either way I don't believe Kyoani will deliver. I hope it's gonna end ambiguous with no s3 in sight so I can at least pretend I got yuri.
>>
>>1901479
>Are the subtitles that are out for that episode garbage? (figuratively speaking - I know literally they are garbage). In other words should I wait for someone else to sub them, or should I watch garbage?
I just watched the garbage sub, and it actually wasn't garbage. It was pretty good. For anyone who hasn't watched the ep14 ova of Wakaba girls there is no reason to wait give garbage a watch.

Kinda shown, not really expanded on. The manga does improve on there, especially SumiBanba.

Oh, I guess I do my fair share of that as well, except it's games and yuri manga (plus the books).
>>
>>1905456
I was so excited by the skirt flipping scene and then nothing. Fuck AnR.
>>
>>1905221
>the original source is even more gay
If I recall, in the original Reina is serious about the male teacher. I don't know how serious she is in the anime about him.
>>
>>1905422
Same here, almost. But mostly with games. Skipping FFXV, ignored ToZ because of the forced male protagonist in the party/field. Kinda sucks.

I'm fine with stuff like Mushishi though, and you should be too.
>>
>>1905422
Eh, I can still watch movies or series and read books without yuri.
Manga and anime, though, are a definite no-no: if it isn't yuri or at least subtext, it's not even worth considering.
>>
>>1905422
I'm right there with you. I didn't enjoy a lot male/het oriented media before, but now that I know how good things can be thanks to yuri I don't want to go back to thew way things were.
>>
>>1905475
Yeah but Mushishi is Mushishi. You can't not like it. You should check out Kino no Tabi if you haven't already.

>>1905477
I get that. Seems like with manga and anime, a vast majority of stuff is too heavily focused on male wish fulfillment.

There's a brief one-shot by Yukimura ("Armet") where one of the girls is a knight, but I don't think it's been translated (?). It's also too short for almost any knight stuff to happen.

There's also at least one light novel with a knight character (Itsuwari No Hime Wa Kishi To Odoru) but I never got around to finishing it. It was mostly political intrigue as far as I read.

I think there was also a side-character in Wild Bouquet who was a knight, but I can't really remember, it's been too long.

That's because, let's face it, most manga and anime doesn't really have a good plot.
Their charm are in things like rule of cool and cute things. The kind of things you can't find it equal in western works.

That's why things like Mushishi are okay. Because they're actually really well written.

I still like not-yuri shows, though. But the options are getting limited, since I don't like male power fantasy and harem antics.

It's worse with games, since the wish fulfillment in them always annoyed me. I kinda like Tales of series because it doesn't focus on that, but things like Persona really upsets me.

A series that's suppossed to be lighthearted and calm then becomes an endurance test, as you wish with all your soul, with blood in your eyes, red in your vision and THE VERY FABRIC OF THE PUREST RAGE in your mind, that the MOTHERFUCKER WOULD SIMPLY FUCK OFF.

BUT NO, THERE HE APPEARS AGAIN AND THERE KOMACHI IS WITH HIM AND THERE NORIE AND BOTH OF THEM ARE ONSCREEN AT THE SAME TIME AND-

It will get better in some parts. It will get worse in some other. The second season lets up a bit, though.

I just realized that the plot of Kill Me Baby would make a pretty good yuri story if you removed the comedy.
Bubbly happy-go-lucky girl discovers that her friend is a cold-blooded assassin and uses her dumb girl charms to get her to stop.
>>
>>1907313
Could I watch it for the Yuri subtext or is there het?
>>
>>1907335
there's no het. you still can't really watch it for yuri subtextt, but it's a fun show.

There is pretty much zero prominent male characters, and Yasuna's clinginess combined with Sonya's deadly tsundere makes a great shipping combination. Not quite Yuyushiki-tier but still very gogglable.

In fact the ending hinted that there is some yuri.

I don't know girls, but whenever I heard "confession", "friends", "itadakimasu" in the same song I wear my goggles, and my goggles reacts nicely to the ending.

B& in 3... 2... 1...

I still do not see the point of a yuri scene in a horrible het harem.
>>
>>1907630
I don't see the point of het harems. Fate made a lot of money but only because it had a cool ass setting/event out of the holy grail war. But it seems like studios thought that the harem aspect was what sold it. I wish I could see some hard stats on this.
>>
>>1907642
Didn't the whole harem shit start with Love Hina though?
>>
>>1907643
It wasn't the first, but it was the most notable of way back then. What Love Hina did well, though, is making the girls and male MC actual characters instead of cardboard cutouts.

Unfortunately, the idiots churning LNs by the metric fuckton forgot that, and just have ancient archetypes lusting after self-inserts.
And the idiots rushing to animate those LNs forgot how those harems almost always fail to make profit. I mean, if the last twenty battle school harems were atrocious shit that sold like atrocious shit, what makes them think the next twenty battle school harems will do better?
>>
>>1907649
LNs adaptations are famous because of Haruhi though.
>>
>>1907649
There has to be profit somewhere. Maybe they break even (or have profits) with merchandise or something. I just can't believe that they keep producing show after show without making profit out of it.
>>
>>1907643
I think it's Ranma 1/2 that laid out the basics of the genre, all the way back in the late 80s.
>>
>>1907666
I'd call it a proto-harem rather than the first example of the genre. For one, you aren't really encouraged to self-insert as Ranma and the girls who want him are more hilariously awful comedy characters than fantasy girlfriends.
>>
>>1907673
And there wasn't an harem util it was established that Akane and Ranma were in love with each other. When the chinese girls appears, the "race" was already over.
>>
>>1907649
>how those harems almost always fail to make profit.

Most anime at least break even in the long run and the LN/manga/merch sales make the real profit.
>>
>>1907664
The intentions of the anime committee is usually to increase sales of the source material. If it becomes a miracle hit like Infinite Stratos that's fine, but most of the time the anime's just an advertisement for the manga/light novels. The studio adapting it is usually paid in advance and has no strong attachment to the series if they aren't part of the production committee.
Since they keep doing this, it's reasonable to assume that either the model works, or they're too set in their ways to change it. I'd say it's a little of both.
>>
>>1907683
Yes, I understand that, but how can you measure the sucess of something as vague as "it increased the LN/manga/game sales"?

Comparing sales of volume one? Or the sales of the volumes that are set after anime? The newest one? Do they even have those statistical breakdowns?
>>
>>1907685
Uh, isn't it common sense that businesses have sales statistics and projections? Advertising is quite common in the world of commerce after all. They would definitely see the results of the anime through aggregated statistics of sales of the anime/source material/other merchandise and as the actual publisher/member of the production committee they'll have all the actual figures instead of speculative ones that outsiders produce from looking at public viewable numbers like amazon rankings.
>>
>>1907702
>Uh, isn't it common sense that businesses have sales statistics and projections?

My point was that I don't see how can the effect be measurable.

For example, let's say the latest volume had a really great development, something game changing that make doubters on the series quality stop complaining. That volume happened to be the one that was released while the anime was airing. Of course, none of its content is on it. How can you be sure that the increase wasn't because the quality of the work suddenly went up, and no your shitty badly animated commercial on late night TV?
>>

Man you're so far up your ass you don't even realize how dumb you sound.

Dear Imoutos, two words Tenchi Muyo.

Well, if I understood how it works I wouldn't be asking, onee-sama. To be honest, I don't know shit about marketing strategies so the topic is interesting to me.
>>
>>1907649
I guess To-Love Ru is to blame for bland male MC's then.
>>
>>1907728
It was him the first bland self-insert harem lead?
>>
>>1907730
Don't know if the first, but certainly the first series to be popular enough to get people starting to imitate it. I think, I'm not anime historian.
>>
>>1907732
Well a quick google search showed me that in the same year that the To Love Ru manga started its run, certain anime started too: The Familiar of Zero. You can't get more bland than Saito.
>>
>>1907714
>the quality of the work suddenly went up
Bro, you are talking about a harem. The only way you'll get that is if you retconned the male MC, and replaced him with a girl or something.
>>
>>1907740
>The Familiar of Zero
Ah, yes. The dawn of the tsundeRie and the clone series that featured one.
I can't be too mad at teh Rie, though. She did voice a number of lesbian tsunderes.
>>
>>1907749
Everyone loves Teh Rie.

>>1907745
I welcome this development with my arms wide open.

I was just trying to understand more about marketing, a topic I don't really get. My method to learn things is asking questions and then questioning the answers with more questions until I can get a clear picture on the subject. I do admit that I can get a bit annoying with it, though.
>>
>>1907749
Fun fact: she voiced a character named Bian in One Piece. Bian is a slang word for lesbian.
>>
>>1907740
>The Familiar of Zero.

I hate harem but for some reason that is my guilty pleasure. Maybe because it actually ends in a relationship.
>>
>>1907750
To understand marketing, you need to understand your customer.

You just lost, because in this case the customer is a person that likes to watch/read harems. That is, a very unwholesome person, someone you can not relate to.
>>
>>1907758
I kinda liked To-Love Ru when it was 2x10 minute segments of girls doing silly stuff (First OVAs and the second season, I think). Especially the Yami segments.
>>
>>1907761
I concede my complete defeat, onee-sama.

So, Love Hina/Tenchi Muyo set the groundwork Fate/Familiar of Zero created the bland Male MC, and after that it exploded in popularity. Too bad that Love Hina is actually good.
>>
>>1907642
Fate isn't a harem.
>>
>>1907799
It has four girls all lusting after Shirou's dick in all its routes, how is not an harem?
>>
>>1907799
It's not? Sabre, Rin, Rin's sister and Ilya all like him. And don't forget prisma illya.
>>
>>1907845
>>1907841
Shit only gets romantic with a given girl in their route, doesn't it? It's a datesim element, not a harem one. Like, a yuri VN wouldn't be considered a harem just because there are several possible characters for the MC to end up with.
>>
>>1907630
Just ignore Mugino
>>
>>1907851
You didn't actually read it, did you.

Just because one girl wins each route doesn't mean it's not harem, the same way series with multiple girls lusting after one cock are still haremshit even if the MC is only interested in one.

A harem is defined by a minimum of 3 individuals that want the same person.

I get what you mean, the old name meant a single person having a harem where they all like person and said person has access to them any time they want.

But in anime it seems to just mean the former, and they are generalized as such a genre.
>>
>>1907855
I dunno, I lurk discussion on stuff I don't actually care about way too much, and I always had the impression that the FSN girls don't develop an interest in the MC unless you're on their route in particular.
>>
>>1908000
You're wrong. They all want Shirou's dick in every route. During the story you triggers the flags to make "Shirou" fall for one of the girls.

Spoilered because not /u/ relevant:Sakura literally cooks for everyday because she's on love with him. Rin tries treats him better than any other person, again, because she's in love with him. Illya was so obsessed with the guy who "stole" her father that she started to love/hate him. Saber was "seduced" by Shirou's ideal on heroism. All are true in every single route.

Obviously I've being pretty simplistic here, but that's the gist of it.
>>
>>1908029
I could tolerate all this if the guy was really some Awesome McCoolguy or something.
>>
>>1908035
Well, at least he's not black haired like 95% of male MCs.

And he technically has a cooler future version.
>>
Do straight girls read yuri cause its cute?
