Just started watching Umaru because there were threads for it in the past. First two episodes were okay if not for the focus on the brother and how Ebina swoons over him.

Does this actually get more /u/-relevant? Isn't there a girl (pic related) who has a legit crush on Umaru and not a false alarm like Ebina in ep1??

>>1935379
It's more evident in the manga.

>>1935379
>Does this actually get more /u/-relevant?
A little, but it's first and foremost a sister-brother oriented show, not worth it for the yuri. Next time ask the general first, you'll get a feel for whether it's your kind of stuff or not.

>>1935379
Too much hetshit for any of the 'yuri' to be considered serious.

>>1935379
It's gag show mostly focused on brother-sister relationship (not that kind of relationship), Kirie shows up in 3rd or 4th episode IIRC and Desuwa shows her true colors a little bit later, so hang in there. But if the comedy isn't doing it for you, then it might be better just drop it.

>>1935374
I'm sticking to this thread.

How /u/ is Manyuu Hikenchou? I know it's all about the breasts but is there any /u/ about it?

It sure has nice physics.

>>1935436
MC's sidekick pervs about the MC's breasts. That's about it IIRC. Toyosaki Aki's acting is pretty amusing in it though.

Does anyone know if /azu/ has another site? I'm guessing that wakachan is dead for good this time around. Even though I mostly go there for yotsuba scans and hope for more Asagi/Torako chapters it was a nice community, albeit a bit weird at times.

>>1935447
Is this what you're looking for?

https://yotsumanga.wordpress.com/

>>1935460
Not quite, but thanks for the reply. Yotsuba Scans actually just hosts Ralen's translations after he posts them to the board. The board no longer exists now though, it seems. It's too bad. Even though most of the stuff posted there was weird discussion or reposts from pixiv or other image sites, it was still a fun little community and people were still willing to discuss something new about Azumanga Daioh even after 15 or so years.

anyways, it's only slightly /u/ related since Ralen and AXYPB are also known in the SonoHana community and because believe it or not, people still ship Azumanga girls after all these years. I'm partial to Sakaki/Kagura, but there are a lot of people who still ship Tomo/Yomi, Sakaki/Kaorin, Sakaki/Chiyo, Osaka/everyone, etc. Not to mention that one time clusterfuck rp crossover alternate universe thing that the board did where Tomo and Torako were sisters or something and had sex with everyone

Alright, /u/.

Does anybody know of any decent H-manga or doujins with a girl receiving oral and a rimjob from two other girls at the same time, that doesn't devolve into watersports or involving more distasteful waste products, and is obviously yuri.

Easy enough to find pictures on the topic, even live action pornography, but a porn comic is a whole other story even with more sophisticated tagging infrastructure.

I just read Prism. Is it ever going to continue?

What a coincidence I just finished to reread it once again. And after all these years I'm still mad and I still can't believe it will never continue. It was one of the best yuri manga ever.

>>1935861
Prism really has something I can't seem to find in most yuri.

>>1935856
I knew from the start Stretch wasn't going to have actual yuri, but the undertones made me hope something was going to happen. The ending was a real letdown.

I remember how pissed I was when the Anime adaptation of Sasameki koto didn't have a conclusive ending, is it going to be that all over again?

>>1935912

So, I'm watching Marimite now. I'm now at S2 episode 7. I notice that the romance progresses so slowly. Either that, or maybe I'm just overly wishful.

Will it continue being a romantic sisterhood story or will it pay off and at least the main pair get closer later/in the end? To me it feels regulated, where they are destined to be separated in the end. The one that impress me the most is Rosa Gigantea's (Sei) backstory.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great show, but the soeur system makes it somehow boring and predictable, even when the characters are so well-made.

>>1936877
Unfortunately you aren't going to get anything more than an ambiguous ending at best. You should watch Marimite more for the characters, the setting and the atmosphere more than anything, really. There are lots of fanfiction that explore what could happen after the show ends, if you're into that sort of thing.

>The one that impress me the most is Rosa Gigantea's (Sei) backstory.
Yeah, that's definitely the high point of the series for me.

>>1936877
It does not have a yuri ending (nor ending at all I think), it's more about comfy SoL with light drama and subtext.

You went a bit too deep into /a/, anon. There's a lot inherently yuri about the rocker girl subplot., and you completely forgot about the villain girl and her sidekick as well.

That doesn't change the friendship zone status, does it.

>>1937342
That fucking dos not matter since she gets together with Shuichi in the source material.

>>1937350
It just shows you how deep in the closet the author is. She's in fucking denial.

>>1937351
That fucking dos not matter because we aren't talking about the source material.

>>1937352
How does it show that?

>>1937350
It can change it for the anime, the author isn't in charge of it. Kyoani is.

>>1937350
Better ignore Hibikek fags, this is worse than when people started claiming that KLK had a canon yuri ending and dismissed as trolls everyone who dared to say otherwise.

>>1937358
I still think dismiss you as troll, that hasn't changed.

>>1937356
Read the scenes. Every time Kumiko and Reina do something that would seem "gay" she points out how "it wasn't like that." or how it wasn't "perverted" or something similar. In the interview she rants about how always love seems more important that friendship (which fucking is) and then says that Kumiko's relationship with Reina is her most important relationship. She wants to sell a lesbian relationship as just a friendship.

>>1937357
>the author isn't in charge of it. Kyoani is.

Yeah that doesn't make it any more likely to end up as yuri.

>>1937361
Yes it does. You know the author is committed to them being friends while KyoAni has in the past added lesbians to at least one adaptation and has so far taken out Kumiko having feelings for Shuuichi.

>>1937360
>always love seems more important that friendship (which fucking is)

It really isn't.

>She wants to sell a lesbian relationship as just a friendship.

Maybe she just wanted to do a story about female friendship, nothing wrong with that.

>>1937360
The thing is: To her, it's not a lesbian relationship at all. It's a platonic female friendship, of which a lot exist. Your mother likely has such friendships, and I've often heard the sentiment among women that a friend of theirs was more important to them than anyone else in their life, including husbands and children.

Look, I'd want to have this pairing, but this author did have her end up with Shuichi. There's no lesbian relationship in what she wrote. The anime simply lets us fantasize because it didn't get to that point yet. And that's fine!

>>1937362
>KyoAni has in the past added lesbians to at least one adaptation

I hope you aren't talking about Chuu2.

>>1937364
>The anime simply lets us fantasize because it didn't get to that point yet
I can't see KyoAni doing Kumiko/Shuuichi anymore. If you compare the novels to the anime, they've seriously changed their relationship. If they went back to that track now, all they would do is piss off the people who liked season one. It's not like their only options are het or yuri. They could easily just not have Kumiko get together with anyone, which is what I'm guessing will happen.

>>1937365
Why would you hope that? Because it's true and weakens your argument?

>>1937362
You're exaggerating. They made the relationship deeper than any friendship would be, sure, but just that. They won't change that Shuichi is the one who gets to be "Kumiko's lover". Now, the anime could keep his focus just on the band stuff and discard any romantic implications, just like they did during season 1.


>>1937364
That's not true everywhere and change from culture to culture, but I see your point.

>>1937366
They have changed the relationship at this point for sure. But that doesn't mean there'll be yuri.

I'm actually in the boat you are: No conclusion whatsoever. It's safe and fits KyoAni the best.

>>1937366
>Why would you hope that?

I was hopping that there was some anime with actual lesbians that I hadn't seen, too bad you were talking about some teasing bullshit.

>>1937370
I wouldn't call it teasing bullshit. Dekomori is consistently depicted as a lesbian and her sexuality is treated as seriously as any other subject in the show.

>>1937367
Why not? There's nothing stopping them.

>>1937370
A lesbian is a lesbian either if they're in a relationship yet or not.

>>1937372
The author? She works closely with them on the adaptation. They can reduce the romance importance, but I don't think they would dare to remove it and shift it from Shuichi to Reina.

>>1937371
I disagree, she's mostly a joke character and her sexuality isn't treated at all. Not that the actual romantic relationship of the show goes anywhere, but they at least establish its existence.

Honestly, if people are content with that then good for them, but I expect something more and I have no faith in kyoani to deliver.

That's just speculation, any studio can discard any author if they want to.

>>1937367
>They made the relationship deeper than any friendship would be, sure, but just that
Eh, not really. That's dime a dozen in slice of life anime. The reason Kumiko/Reina has gained so much interest is that along with DEEP FEELINGS, they have a huge amount of sexual tension between them.

>>1937367
>author says Reina is more important to Kumiko than Shoe will ever be
>makes Shoe Kumiko's lover

I told you about paradoxes, man. I wa-

>>1937377
It's not. She works with them, they say as much in that one interview.


>>1937379
That kind of thing is what made the "Author is a closeted lesbian in denial" theory so popular back when the show was airing.

>>1937379
Just because she has a very close friend it doesn't mean she can't have a romantic relationship.

>>1937381
This. Reina is a good friend

>>1937376
She's no more of a joke character than Rikka, Kumin or Nibutani. The things that make her a more complex are all related to her sexuality, like her unrequited crush on Rikka in S1 and the way Nibutani comforts her. I wouldn't say the shiptease between Nibutani and Dekomori is the gold standard for depictions of f/f relationships, but I'm perfectly happy with how their sexualities were treated.

>>1937381
What's the point of Shoe becoming Kumiko's lover, then, if even as her boyfriend he'll always be second fiddle to Reina?

He basically got told "you'll do". He's the third wheel.

>>1937385
That's the impression I got when I read the interview too. She elevates Reina and Kumiko's relationship so high that everything else in her life seems meaningless and "just because."

>>1937380
If you read the interview, their close collaboration mostly meant talking a lot about the work. As far as I can tell, she didn't actually do any work on the adaptation.

Besides, even if she was in the writer's room, why wouldn't she be fine with the studio going in a yuri direction? She already thinks Reina will always be more important to Kumiko than Shuuichi. Maybe she'd be interested in seeing how they'd work as a couple.

>>1937384
>She's no more of a joke character than Rikka, Kumin or Nibutani.

Kumin does nothing during the whole show other than sleeping.

>The things that make her a more complex are all related to her sexuality

I have no idea where you see those things, her crush on Rikka is never treated as romantic or sexual, just the usual infatuation you see in anime with characters her age.

>>1937385
it makes it feel like kumiko only gets together with shuuichi because of some obligation to be with a guy.

>>1937387
They put things on the anime that were on the 4th book that was published during the anime. She did a lot more than just "talk". The other part of your post is speculation without any basis.

>>1937385
I don't know if you're being serious or not but a person can have friends and romantic partners, they aren't mutually exclusive.

>>1937187
This question has been repeated a few times. So here's the gist.

Next season:
Yuri shows -
Koukaku no Pandora
Glass no Hana to Kowasu Sekai
(I will add Harmony, as the movie [while the book isn't, the show is canon yuri] has already finished, but dvds/bluerays will take awhile to be out)

Good potential -
Mahou Shoujo Nante Mou Ii Desu kara (I've heard talk about this from another yuri forum)

There are also a few others, if you aren't anal retentive about high yuri content.

The major bulk of the Yuri shows will be out from middle 2016 to early 2017.

>>1937204
Fairy tail zero actually had the potential to be yuri. But since things went the way it did, the yuri completely vanished with it. The girls you see on the cover were very close and I daresay they liked each other, but Girl A died, breaking Girl B's heart. And Girl B went hetero and eventually died too.

>>1937385
You do realize that it's entirely possible to have important people in your life that you aren't romantically attracted to?

The author stated it herself, she's annoyed by people not getting that. And I'm not sure why you don't get that, either.

A male equivalent would be bros before hos. Doesn't make those guys gay at all.

>>1937388
>>I have no idea where you see those things
End of the first season, when Dekomori tells Nibutani how she should feel happy for Rikka but she's actually sad and jealous. Her sexuality is further clarified when she starts showing attraction to Nibutani the next season.

>>1937391
I know, but in this case the friend is more important than the lover, which makes the relationship with Shoe sound like Kumiko going through a checklist.

>>1937395
>applying "bro" mentality to Kumiko
Bruh...

>>1937395
The difference is that Kumiko and Reina act gay, they don't act like bros, that's what the author doesn't get, she can't make them almost fuck and then say "no homo", it doesn't work like that.

>>1937397
But they do nothing other than imply that she may be a lesbian, it's never actually stated or even hinted strongly. A lot of anime do those kind of things and I wouldn't consider the characters to be gay.

The first example that comes to my mind is Charlotte, where two of the guys were really close and you could see them as lovers if you really wanted. But if I wanted to watch an anime with gay dudes, I wouldn't be satisfied with something like that.

Not at all, friendships and romantic relationships are different and you can have both. Lovers aren't necessarily more important than friends, and they usually aren't at the beginning of a relationship.

>>1937395
>A male equivalent would be bros before hos. Doesn't make those guys gay at all.
If two dudes acted like how Kumiko and Reina act, they'd be so in the closet they'd be Kings of Narnia.

>>1937410
I did sadly, that second season was an aberration.

>>1937389
Haha, yeah. I'd have thought Reina and Kumiko were lesbians, if they didn't out of the blue announce they are liking some guy.

As long as the anime continues more of the sweetness between them, regardless of what happens with the guys, and, they keep that side /u/-ish couple (they are going to keep them, are they?), then it's quite a win, I'd say.

Personally, I only care about the anime. Rest of the material are not relevant, as I won't be reading them.

>>1937418
Please Reinhard and Kircheis acted several orders of magnitude gayer than those two and were both straight. Well, Kircheis may have been a pedophile but still.

>>1937403

It's not romantic without sexual attraction.

It sucks but the author has a very clear intention for the characters and yes Kyoani can go in a different direction, but you can celebrate when we get to the finish zone.

Right now, this mentality of labeling anyone who doesn't recognize Kumikek and Reina's relationship as canon as trolls is downright sickening.

>>1937414
>Lovers aren't necessarily more important than friends
Try telling a long-term partner you love them more than anyone in the world, aside from your best buddy (no homo). See if they'll be pleased.

>they usually aren't at the beginning of a relationship.
That's not what she's talking about in the interview. Besides, Kumiko has been friends with Shuuichi much longer than with Reina.

>>1937423

>>1937414
Are you ever been in a relationship? Because if you have and have that mentality, I really pity any partner that you ever had.

>>1937418
Yeah. Forgot about guys, if I had behaved like that with any of my straight female friends, they'd freak out and think I'm lesbian. Straight women aren't as emotionally or physically close as people like to think. Don't mistake the sometimes feminine want to be a chatterbox, going shopping or acting "huggly cute" as real closeness.

Anyhow, this is anime, where people behave differently, which is cool as I'm not here to see real people. So I feel things should be judged differently.

>>1937432

No one is saying that. However, constantly recycling the same terrible arguments (Kumiko/Shuuichi happens in the novels so it must happen in the anime, because adaptations never change things) is either idiocy or trolling.

>>1937430
Their reaction will show you how our culture feels about placing friends above lovers.

>>1937426
>Try telling a long-term partner you love them more than anyone in the world, aside from your best buddy (no homo). See if they'll be pleased.

What does it matter if they are pleased or not, someone doesn't suddenly become more important to you just because you start dating. Your long term wife is usually someone you have spent the most time with, so you are naturally going to put them first.

>Besides, Kumiko has been friends with Shuuichi much longer than with Reina.

Yes but they never were as close as her and Reina and they aren't suddenly going to be just because the became lovers.

>>1937442
>someone doesn't suddenly become more important to you just because you start dating
Takeda isn't talking about some short window of time at the beginning of their relationship:
>Shuichi is special as well, but for Kumiko, Reina is depicted as a presence that is above him. Before Kumiko met her, he may have been her special guy, but now her relationship with Reina is eternal.

>>1937441
It's not recycling when it's the unsavory truth of the matter.

>>1937441
>Their reaction will show you how our culture feels about placing friends above lovers.
How is "our culture" relevant? Why do you care about what "our culture" feels?
Just because "our culture" or "long-term partner" thinks something, it doesn't automatically change a person's feelings. For me, personally, my close childhood friends will always be at the very least just as important as any lovers, long-term or not. Feel free to express your pity to me and my potential partners.
Always putting love above friendship just because "well it's love" is asinine. It's about experience you have with people and what connects you to them, not labels you put on your relationship.

>>1937443
Thanks a lot, onee-santa.

>>1937445
Yeah, but assuming she marries Shuichi, that's likely to change as she will be spending more time with him and less with her. That's how it tends to go for most people at least, but some Japanese couples barely see each other so Reina may as well remain her most important person other than her potential children.

>>1937443
Thank you onee-sama.

The Japanese have become so Westernized we're practically in the same culture group.

>my close childhood friends will always be at the very least just as important as any lovers
Again, that's not what Takeda is saying. She's saying that Reina is and always will be *more* important to Kumiko than Shuuichi.

>>1937454
>The Japanese have become so Westernized we're practically in the same culture group.

Not even close.

>>1937454
>at the very least
Which means they might be more important, depending on the kind of "lover" we're talking about. If it's somebody you've only known for a couple of months, you probably won't put them above your best friends. Unless it's TRU RABU or something like that.

>>1937456
Kumiko has known Shoe for far longer than she has known Reina.

>>1937436
Well, I can only talk from personal experience. So perhaps, it's more of an anecdotal point of view.

But, my point still stands. Anime ≠ real life. In the 2D world, there's no real difference between gender and age beyond physical appearance and way of expression. And there's frankly no real romance disparity either. So it's best not to look at gender, but judge things based on interactions.

>>1937457
Okay, let me expand on the phrase "knowing somebody". By it I don't mean the bare amount of time you've spent with a person, but the amount of things, experiences, events and memories that people accumulated between themselves in that amount of time.

>>1937456
>If it's somebody you've only known for a couple of months
And that's completely irrelevant to what we're talking about. Takeda isn't saying there will be a six month window when Reina is more important. She's saying she'll be more important forever.

>>1937460
That alone still doesn't imply any romantic feelings. Nor does imply pure friendly feelings between the two of them, sure, but saying that X is definitely canon doesn't really work here. It's stuck in the middle and will probably remain there forever, at least in the anime, since I doubt they will go full /u/, but I doubt they will revert to het, either.

>>1937419
It was worth it for Shinka/Deko

I think some people need to realize that part of the reason that the some of the more cynical /u/sers deny that Kumiko/Reina will get together is that they are using defensive pessimism to help buffer any potential stress. They don't want to feel the frustration of seeing another pairing turn out to be "just friends" so they set their expectations extremely low accordingly, even if things momentarily look positive. There are other reasons, I'm sure, but someone who disagrees that Kumiko/Reina will get together doesn't necessarily warrant a redirect to /a/ or an accusation of being a troll .

Also, I really think that making a "KyoAni General" might be a good idea at this point. It's clear that people want and will talk about Hibike whenever it's mentioned.

>>1937410
People seem to have weirdly high standards for this pair only. Don't get me wrong, I hate it when anime gets all coy about its lesbians, but everyone around those two talks about how totally gay they are, there's an accidental kiss (more than the het couple gets) and they generally act like two people into each other but not in a relationship yet. How much more do you need to accept their attraction as canon?

>>1937479
>How much more do you need to accept their attraction as canon?

A lot more than that, it has to be on the level of Shinozaki-san at the very least for me.

>>1937475
I have never seen anyone react badly to Anon suggesting that Kumiko and Reina won't get together. It's probably the most common assumption people have, in fact. The thing we find annoying is people insisting Kumiko/Shuuichi will happen, no matter how much reason there is to believe it won't, like the new episode apparently hinting at Hazuki/Shuuichi.

If you must assert a belief in a K/S ending for your own mental well-being, well, have fun with that. However, such exercises are best done in the privacy of one's home, rather than on a public board where people are trying to have a dialogue.

>>1937484
What a weird double standard.

>>1937479
Their relationship is not canon. You could argue that is heavily implied, but that's it. The only "canon" relationship in Chu2 is the het one.

>>1937485
>What a weird double standard.

In what way?

>>1937486
That anon said "attraction", not "relationship". Canon attraction.

>>1937420
Just want to confirm, is Yuuko and Natsuki going to continue being a side couple in season 2?

>>1937486
I wasn't talking about their relationship, though. It obviously can't be canon because they aren't in one.

>>1937487
Well, maybe I was mistaken. I suppose it's entirely possible you think most het attraction in fiction is just subtext too.

>>1937491
>I suppose it's entirely possible you think most het attraction in fiction is just subtext too.

If they are on the level of Shinka and Nibutani then yes. It's obviously easier to establish attraction between characters of the opposite sex, but this is basically nothing.

>>1937491
Even then, my point still stands. Nothing is stated beyond jokes.

>>1937492
Shinka and Nibutani are the same person.
Mistakes like this only proves how little attention you pay to Deko and her.

>>1937492
So when a girl sees another girl flirting with a boy and reacts by blushing and attacking the other girl, you think it might well be a nice example of deep platonic friendship.

>>1937498
It's a romantic comedy. Of course the development of their relationship is going to be funny. Besides, whenever someone talks about their attraction to each other, they're being serious. The joke is in Dekomori and Shinka's reaction to it.

>>1937501
It was a simple mistake, a payed the same amount of attention to all the characters as they were all extremely boring. If you want to believe there's some sexual attraction between them that's up to you, for me what we were shown was nothing.

>>1937506
The other characters explicitly say Shinka and Dekomori are into each other two or three times.

>>1937504
>you think it might well be a nice example of deep platonic friendship.

No I would think she's one of those annoying characters created to interrupt every time the other characters may be having any kind of development.

>>1937509
Yes, as a joke that was done a million times before in other shows and never meant anything.

>>1937514
No, it wasn't. It even was used as a plot point to solve the issue in episode 8 season 2.

>>1937518
Nibutani and Dekomori became closer during season two but it wasn't romantic.

>>1937520
It clearly was. When everything and everyone tells you it is, then it is.

>>1937521
But it obviously wasn't, otherwise we wouldn't even be having this conversation.

>>1937522
Not my fault you're blind.

>>1937520
>>1937522
I'm starting to think you didn't actually watch the show.

>>1937523
I don't see the point of personal attacks, I already said that if you want to believe there's anything between them it's up to you.

>>1937524
What makes you say that?

/u/ - It takes two autists to tango

>>1937526
Not a personal attack, just frustrated you can't see something as obvious.

>>1937530
I'm also surprised that you can believe there was something there, but I'm not belittling your opinion.

All you denial saying is ''Yuri is not equality to Het''
''a silly het implication count more than all subtext''

>>1937520
They are romantically interested.

>>1937532
I give up.

>>1937535
Not really no.

>>1937533
Yuri is obviously not equal to het and, like I said before, it's much easier to establish attraction between characters of the opposite gender. Nevertheless, for Shinka and Dekomori there was nothing so it wouldn't make any difference if you make one of them male.

>>1937539
Really yes.

>>1937540
Not at all.

>>1937542
Quite a lot actual.

Look, Yuri is no different from het, because this isn't real life but the two dimensional. Characters, regardless of gender, in the anime world, like who they want, pretty much the same way, and that's that. "Real life" rules have never applied. There's basically little to no gender issue or complications. Thus, there's nothing more "difficult" to establish, especially with Yuri, as it's easy to make female characters close.

You find it difficult, because you are one of those who can't separate fiction from reality, and keep looking at anime characters as "real" people. Although it's a common hypocrisy amongst non-japanese anime fans. They can accept all kinds of anime nonsense, including the fact that they are watching a cartoon, but put 2 girls together, and suddenly, they fail to look at it as fantasy, or wow, this fantasy can't/shouldn't exist, whilst magic and dragons can.

>>1937691

>>1937700
>"Real life" rules have never applied

Gibberish.

Until established otherwise, real life rules always apply. Break the law of physics, change up basic social etiquette, and surprise people with some whacky animal biology early if you want your audience to change their expectation the moment they get into the show.

>>1937706
Well, I can't help you if you are one of those "realism" folks that need to purposely apply a real-life filter, instead of acknowledging that anime was never meant to made from a "real-life" perspective. It's escapism, where the RL does not exist. What you said is only relevant in terms of expectations, if it's the first time someone is watching an anime. But after years of it, knowing how the anime world works, if you are still going into the genre, with a "Real-life" outlook, that is pretty deluded.

Anyway, I was just annoyed that Yuri tends to be disproportionately targeted by viewers. I guess it's unfortunate that girl/girl crankles up way too many consumers. Luckily, anime/manga, continues not to care about realism.

Yes. Fictional worlds draw their setting elements from the actual (our, real) world at first, then the explicit world-building happens on top of that. Or put differently, fictional worlds are sparse, their authors can only define limited ammount of their traits. The rest is filled in by readers based on the actual world.

So real world rules do apply in all instrances when it is not explicitely said they don't. Like Itou Hachi's foxgirls where at the start, you have a big "in this land, there are same sex marriages and people have animal ears".

Excuse my rant, I was excited I can flaunt stuff from my university curriculum once in a lifetime.

So you're saying that every and all anime in existence resides in this supposed 'anime world' of yours where everybody is perfectly equal, rules of human society never apply and everything even the unimaginable can happen. That doesn't make sense at all. How can you say that shows like Yuru Yuri and shows like Valkyrie Drive have the exact same rules applied to them? And even then both of them aren't even close to the make-believe fantasy utopia you're describing.

Nothing in the first two seasons. Shaw showing up begins some playful interactions with Root, all in S3. Don't know about 4, but apparently there's been a kiss between the two?

In total, a fun show, where, at a few points, I was thinking "please don't do what you're about to do" to progress the plot (e.g. Carter). Love Shaw, but when it would count, her character is made somewhat pointless and contradictory, which is sad.

>>1937801
Root's usually the start of the banter.

>genre
Animation is a medium, not a genre. How much real life stuff applies depends on the individual work in question. For instance, homophobia clearly exists in even fantasy shows like Sailor Moon and Madoka, since we see examples of it in both.

It made the first general thread half hour before, you are who stole the general thread because you don't like who make the thread even though it fallow the rules

I was implying Root's there first and when - in the season - Shaw shows up, fun happens.

>>1937807
You made a general thread when there was still one on like page 5, shut up.

>>1937810
Are you saying that what this thread's OP, which is pretty much the exact same thing, is acceptable? Both of you should shut up.
>>1937809
Oh, then yes you are correct.

>>1937811
No, I'm saying "you didn't follow the rules and I did" is a stupid thing to say when neither did, and most people would rather not post in a thread made by a shitposter.

Everyone should have just ignored the Mugino thread and continued posting in the old general, but it's too late for that now.

>>1937810
people can make new thread when already had 300 post, that the rule!

>>1937813
You don't make the rules here, it was moot
and since people use mugino thread if mean they are acceptable except by you

>>1937814
Just because they can doesn't mean they should. Waiting until page 8~10 is preferred.

>>1937827
>since people use mugino thread

But Mugino, it's you and your cohorts who are using it now. Anyone sane is using this one.

>>1937813
>Everyone should have just ignored the Mugino thread and continued posting in the old general, but it's too late for that now.

Let's do that next then.

>>1937843
other 20 people post in that thread too
also I am not mugino

>>1937849
>17 IPs

Try again, Mugino.

>>1937851
still right, you say ONLY one

Anyone know anything about Hirao's new idol manga? Saw it posted on a yuri blog.

Only if you want Stretch's levels of yuri ending.

>>1937965
Tender Night bothers me because it means they at least know what lesbians are.

>>1937187
How you want your Last Exile?
>Over the Wishes
Ginyoku no, Fám.

Either way, if Fäm is female, this could end up as a yuri series, Also, damn you Hiro for this word filter.

>>1938092
This is just a compilation movie, but yes Fäm is a girl, no it's not yuri unless you like subtext, and it's just barely implied. It's not that great either.

>>1937551
Yes!!

It was pretty darn gay at multiple points, whether it was Giselle jellin over Senpai getting close with Millia or shipping the notRussians. People here seem to mostly dislike it because it had a somewhat rushed ending that didn't resolve everything they wanted. Personally, I enjoyed it despite not being familiar with the original Last Exile, but I assume those who are consider it the inferior series.

>Personally, I enjoyed it despite not being familiar with the original Last Exile

It shits all over the original. It's nowhere near its quality in any sense, and it wastes a lot of time doing absolutely nothing. The rushed ending was the least of its problems. The girls are just "good friends" and it never goes anywhere, that's why I called it subtext.

>>1938207
>Senpai
Yup, that filter still stands. Thought it had gone away when they lifted the "cuck" one.

>>1937797
>Jesus
kek

>>1938242
Why did they lift the one that needed to be filtered instead?

Please do not watch Ginyoku Senpai.

If you want to watch Naruto again. Imagine that condensed into Senpai and made 5000 times more annoying.
