Aoi Hana.

my favorite is Strawberry Panic!, is not perfect all those episodes spent on the butch and the retard were painful to watch but I really like the main pairing and the ending was just perfect, in my humble opinion.

If I had pick only one, Kannazuki no Miko it is. But why only one? I rather have several around.

>>2007927
>>2007933
Stainless Night was always shaky ground around here because of that one scene, but I agree with >>2017363 and >>2017381. The girl was a full robot, her thing wasn't organic and didn't look or behave like an actual penis, it didn't ejaculate or anything. It was a dildo, she just happens to have the ability to store it in an internal compartment in her body instead of her nightstand drawer.
I'm not even a fan of dildo/strapon scenes, so I'd prefer if the scene didn't happen either way, but the rest of the OVA is definitely worth it.

Does there exist a primarily romantic yuri anime/hentai? Sono Hana is the closest I can think of but I haven't seen many yet since I'm new to /u/

>>2024844
Again, Sakura Trick.

>>2024792
Well, after what happened in the anime all that kissing stuff was treated as special friendship bullshit and fanservice.

>>2024870
Of course it was fanservice. That doesn't make it not yuri.

And who treated it as just friendship?

>>2024874
Yeah. It's still yuri but why they have to make it look like their reletionship is not something serious but childish play?

>And who treated it as just friendship?
The main pair obviously.

>>2024869
Ok, anything rated older than "PG-13?"

I'll still give Sakura Trick a watch

Aoi Hana easily best yuri anime.

Fuck, Hidamari Sketch in between Sakura Trick and SonoHana. And I wasn't measuring pure quality, but a coefficient of quality x yuriness.

>>2025227
I love the Sasameki Koto manga, but I tried watching the anime was it seemed like plain old "cute girls doing cute things" tripe and dropped it.

>>2025352

>coefficient of quality x yuriness

Come on, if we are including that that means quite a few magical girl shows are going under your "whatever else", which would at the very least include Nanoha and Madoka, the two shows symphogeah tried and failed to be.

This is all my hot opinion, but El cazador was the only one I really enjoyed. Yuri was slow but obvious and the situations/episodes the main characters go through were interesting/fun by themselves. Plus, ost was bomb.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Idx3pdmDskg

Yuru Yuri accomplished what it set out to do too. No complaints from that one either.

>>2025364
Neither of them were as focused on the girl-girl relationships as Symphogear. Its first season was entirely based around HibiMiku, whereas Nanoha was up its ass with backstory and exposition and Madoka was doing its own thing.

>>2025369
>Yuri was slow but obvious
Not just subtext?
Maybe I should check it out.

Seeing that there are a lot of people here, which are good yuri anime with romance or comedy and not much drama?

Stuff like Sakura Trick or Yuru Yuri, for example.

>>2033082
Well there's Sasameki Koto but it isn't that good, or if you are prepared to go down the yuri scale a notch there's Kiniro Mosaic and Yuyushiki.

Probably the tamest rape scene in anything ever. She gives up in like four seconds from just a kiss.

Aoi Hana's the best for realism. If you can tolerate alot of male characters (whom are very likable, besides the stupid sensei.) The manga's certainly better, but I still adore the anime.

>>2004998
Sakura Trick was a 10/10 and if you disagree you don't really like Yuri.

You can say what you want, but there is only one show where the quality of the writing, the depth of the characterization and setting, and the beauty and sorrow of the story put it in the highest class of any anime ever produced - yuri or otherwise.

Until the day I die I will regard it, not merely as the greatest yuri anime, but the greatest anime of all time.

Seriously, this. Genuinely good plot + main characters in a yuri relationship with an overt declaration of romantic love, on-screen kissing, a happy ending together, and no men involved. Really I'd love to find any other series that comes close, but after 10 years I'm not holding my breath.

>>2053340
Totally agree. I rewatch it at least once a year. I just enjoy everything about it. The world, the OST, the characters, the drama. Oh gosh. It gives me such a special feeling.

>>2053340
>>2053722
I've watched the first few episodes and I really like a lot about it but I felt that it focused too much on Aaeru to the detriment of the large cast and world building that could be going on. I quite like her as a character but everyone else needing to ride along with her to get relevance was getting formulaic and strained my enjoyment. Does this lessen as the series goes on?

>>2053764
I honestly feel the characters are given the screen time they deserve, other than Roatreamon and Mamina. I would have wanted someting more from those two. Just something.

>>2053770
maybe it's just me, or it gets better as the series goes on.
It just presented me with such an interesting and diverse world to explore but it feels like that world only really moves when Aaeru's around so that takes a bit of the sparkle out of it. I'm pretty quick to dislike stories of this type when the main protagonist is the solution to every problem. I really like everything else about the show though so I'm a bit torn.

>>2053779
I kind of get what you're getting at. But I feel that Aaeru is only important to Nevirils emotional development. The story is driven forward without regard to her, and all the other characters get to contribute. Aaeru doesn't have the answers, only the confidence and drive. Depending on how you look at it, she can be seen as destructive rather than the typical hero.

Did you at least get to episode 8? It gets very intense and game-changing, and is honestly a piece of art that everyone should watch. Please go and watch up to episode 8 before you decide whether to carry on with Simoun.

Or, if you already saw it and are still unsure - yes, the whole cast get significant development, albeit to different degrees. And there are very interesting developments and explorations of the world that have nothing to do with Aaeru. (Pic spoilery but related.)

Be sure to watch all the way to the end. Simoun, more than any other show ever made, is a carefully plotted build-up to the release of its full power and meaning in the finale.

>>2053340
Watched it back in high school. Never finished it.

I dropped it after Mamiina died.

>>2054089
First, spoiler that shit for fuck's sake, and then go finish it properly.

GOAT OST though.

>>2054091
Well, it is a 10 year old anime.
It's like getting up in arms over spoiling the fact Spike dies at the end.

Still, it is one of the staple series that I thought everyone on /u/ watched (or should watch) at least once.

>>2054135
>Well, it is a 10 year old anime.
I think it's common courtesy not to spoil an anime when in a thread talking to people who haven't seen it and recommending they do, though.

>>2054089
I don't think I even got that far. I wasn't really feeling it. That was a few years ago though, might be worth attempting again.

>>2025349
Came here to post this. Besides being my favorite of the genre, it also has a special meaning to me because I watched with my gf at the time.

>>2033125
That train scene is one of the most arousing things I've ever seen though.

Surprised I don't see more people recommending Yuri Kuma Arashi

>>2054302
Because it's an odd show. Only appeals to certain tastes. To be honest, watching it annoyed me to no end. I really wanted to like it, too.

>>2054302
I only watched 3 episodes and couldn't find the motivation to go further. Ikuhara never sits well with me.

>>2054302
I thought it was a delightful show, but it's a bit hard to recommend something that weird to someone who just wants cute girls kissing. Besides, Utena is better.

>>2054302
I like mindfuck and yuri, but the combination of the two not so much.

>>2054350
I like mindfuck and yuri, particularly in combination. See: Dowman Sayman. Ikuhara on the other hand is just annoying.

I appreciate his brand of direction though. Certainly offering a higher form of art and depth than your typical anime. My problem is mainly that he still hadn't figured out the right amount of symbolism a show should have.

>>2054302
I prefer Morishima Akiko's version.

Are there any yuri ecchi harem animes?

Think of the most generic harem anime with MC tripping and falling on various girls and "accidentally" grabbing their breasts etc.

Now replace MC with a lesbian. Surely this exists somewhere?

It was a repetitive, depressing slog and there was zero actual romance, just one-sided molestation and lust presented as violence. YKA was utterly devoid of pleasure, and keep in mind this is coming from a diehard Utena fan.

>>2054563
There was a multi-chapter story series that was exactly that, a girl in the most typical harem situation imaginable, but I can't remember the name of it. Anyway, I don't think it was translated beyond the first few chapters. As for anime...honestly, probably the closest thing is Strawberry Panic.

>>2054563
Gokujou Drops is kind of like that, I think?

Been a long time since I read it but average girl moves into an all girls dorm and gets molested like once a week, if I recall correctly. It is a mangu though. I can't think of any anime.

>>2054563
Not until Tachibanakan gets animated

Gokujou Drops is excellent. Good art, doesn't take itself too seriously, pervy but not gross.

I'm watching it right now because of this thread, episode 05. I'm a bit angry. So many missed opportunity for onscreen kisses. I know it's 2deep4you anime, and I like this kinda of thing but feels repetitive. Reading the replies I noticed other anons feel like me. Well, at least I'm not the only one.

No matter how I feel, I'll finish it. Maybe in the end, everything will make sense somehow, who knows. I'm not holding my breath though. I just know there's something really wrong with that principal.

It does work, it's exactly what that anon was asking for, whether it's to your personal tastes is beside the point.
There's also Inugami x Nekoyama. It doesn't have the "lucky pervert" aspect but all the girls are perverted and constanty make sexual innuendos at each other

>>2055013

>>2055057 here. So I finished the anime. As confusing the plot is, still predictable. I was capable of seeing (most of) what was coming. The way they develop the story is massive, tiring at least for me. But enjoyed it. The anger I endured was worth it, the ending was alright. ...I think that I'm not sensible enough to appreciate this anime the way it deserves. I swear I'm not watching anything with flashbacks for a while.

>>2055075
I will. Morishima Akiko is one of my favorite manga artists. I just need a break for now.

Delicious smell gao gao

>>2055057
Best way to look at it is a a 12 episode long fairy tale.

But yes, those are pretty common complaints. Personally I loved all of it and am surprised by how mixed opinions on it are, but 2deep4u stuff is always pretty polarizing I feel so it probably comes down to if you 'get' it.

I never really felt the need for onscreen kisses early on though, considering the extremely large amount of stuff like two girls hungrily lapping honey off of a lily at the same time with nudity.

That anon is probably just confused.

>>2064335
>>2064337
The only kiss that has ever happened in the anime was accidental, there is no romance in it and the girls only grope each other as a type of fanservice. Only the spin off light novels and such have actual yuri, not the anime.

>>2064349
That still isn't what "yuribait" means.

>>2064356
There is no actual yuri in the anime, only fanservice. If you don't call that yuribait call it whatever you want but it isn't real yuri for sure.

>>2064349
Krupinski's entire character in established canon is that she's a womanizer. Unless they change her character in the anime.

>She is also a hard-drinking womanizer and a hedonist with an easygoing and optimist personality.

There's also Sadako the hugbunny who just can't get enough of cute things. The 502nd twitter story by the series creator was quite yuri compared to the anime.

>>2064361
Well, Brave Witches hasn't aired yet so who knows? Anyway, it's nice to know that it is supposed to have more yuri than the nonexistent yuri from Strike Witches.

I see that you keep using that term. It's only used to say that someone's definiton of yuri is better than the others, which is what you're doing right now. It's quite irritating to be honest.
