So now that every show of the season has had at least one episode, and considering the unusual high number of /u/-friendly ones, let's rank our favorites so far (include only the ones that you have watched).
>Top Tier - guaranteed subtext and action, everything works like it should
Regalia
Flip Flappers
Shakunetsu no Takkyuu Musume
>High Tier - probably a respectable amount of subtext, and high entertainment value
Shuumatsu no Izetta
KEIJO!!!!!!!!
>Mid Tier - good ingredients but somewhat lacking so far
ViVid Strike!
Mahou Shoujo Nante Mouiidesukara 2
>Low Tier - not nearly enough subtext or much of anything so far
Long Riders
Stella no Mahou
>Prehentively-Dropped Tier - surprise het for main character, hopefully will be rectified later
Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku
>No Brave Witches.
How could you!
>>2160021
I simply haven't watched it.
I'm probably going to some time in the future, but the series never really clicked with me so I'm not in a hurry.
What about Hibike! Euphorium Season 2 ? Lots of subtext!
>>2160031
It's not an all-comprehensive list, I only included the ones I've watched as I noted in the OP, you can list yours.
That Ping Pong one is shit, I hate seeing Ping Pong Homura bully Ping Pong Madoka...
>Shuumatsu no Izetta
>not top tier
Shakunetsu no Takkyuu Musume
>not shit tier
>>2160038
Which one is that?
>>2160040
Shuumatsu wold have definitely been top tier for me if this season didn't have such great competition; of course that can still change when more episodes have aired.
And in my opinion, episode 1 of Shakunetsu no Takkyuu simply did everything right for the kind of anime that it is, though I understand that other people might find it underwhelming for various reasons.
>>2160045
See pic.
The ping pong one is basically Saki except with a sport that actually makes sense and lesbians. What's not to like?
Also, include Brave Witches in Mid Tier and Matoi in Dropped.
>>2160059
>Also, include
The goal of the thread is for everyone to make their own list, not to compile a general one, which would be impossible for obvious reasons.
Well it's still early so this is subject to change but right now:
Watch right away: Hibike Euphonium, Show By Rock, Brave Witches. Shuumatsu no Izetta
Watch when I get the chance: Regalia, Vivid, Flip Flappers
WTF am I watching: Keijo, Watashi ga Motete Dousunda
>Currently watching tier
Flip Flappers
Shuumatsu no Izetta
>Watching, but only when drinking with friends tier
>Brave Witches
>I wish I knew how to quit you tier
Hibike! Euphonium
>I'll start watching if canon /u/ happens tier
everything else
>>2160052
Hoping this is as gay as Saki. Ritz knows mahjong is just a cheap excuse to gather the girls together.
>>2160089
>Show By Rock
Is this yuri related or at least het free?
>>2160103
healthy amount of /u/ and/y/baiting. no het to speak of in S1
>>2160103
If you use Dynasty Scan tags, it basically has Yuri Crush. There are guys, but there isn't much in terms of romance other than that one yuri crush.
>>2160059
>Strike Witches
>mid tier
>Top Tier - guaranteed subtext and action, everything works like it should
Regalia
Flip Flappers
Shakunetsu no Takkyuu Musume
Brave Witches
>High Tier - probably a respectable amount of subtext, and high entertainment value
Shuumatsu no Izetta
KEIJO!!!!!!!!
>Mid Tier - good ingredients but somewhat lacking so far
Lostorage incited WIXOSS
ViVid Strike!
Mahou Shoujo Nante Mouiidesukara 2
>Low Tier - not nearly enough subtext or much of anything so far
Long Riders
Stella no Mahou
Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku
>Prehentively-Dropped Tier
Soushin Shoujo Matoi
>>2160102
You should think more highly of our goddess.
>>2160169
Gods are wise and powerful but also lecherous creatures that create random spin offs for the sole purpose to have a harem of yuri mangaka. Who ordered a toki toki mango? I like her but that's like giving black widow a mcu movie.
>>2160196
I'd rather they give Black Widow a film than Doctor Strange.
>>2160220
Them's fighting words, lad.
Justified, though, considering Dr. Strange isn't even an Avenger in the comics.
>>2160052
Art style looks kinda like Manabi Straight but with lesbians.
I'll reserve judgement on Matoi after another episode or two. Not expecting yuri out of it with Matoi's who "boo-hoo I've got no boyfriend" and "In the future want to be a wife" talk, but I'm also not expecting the incest plot that others seem to be expecting
What's the Optimism Level for FlipFlappers?
High? Low?
>>2160059
>The ping pong one is basically Saki except with a sport that actually makes sense
Not to mention the lack of gargantuan tits on every other character, biggest improvement over Saki so far.
Lostorage has potential.
Interestingly, unlike the previous seasons everyone seems to know what's at stake from the beginning.
Flip flap is my favorite so far. Gotta check IzeTta and ping pong saki. This season looks great yuri wise, even the power rangers reboot trailer has Yellow x Rita subtext. DAMN.
I am sold on Shakunetsu no Takkyuu Musume. The MC looks like Akirin from YuruYuri.
>>2159992
As someone who's read some of the Mahou Shoujo Ikkusei light novels, I will gladly confirm that there is at least one definite Yuri couple.
Also,het dies by, like, probably the fifth episode of the anime, I'm pretty sure. He sure as fuck doesn't live.
Pic related is the Yuri couple in question.
>>2161276and they also died
>>2161276
Adding onto that, MC definitely seems to have a female love interest...
>>2161280
MC and her love interest don't seem to...Though I've started reading the 3rd LN and Ripple pls live.
>>2160290
>Flip Flappers
Madoka treatment?
>>2159992
Now based on expectations group them as sad ending, bittersweet and happy ending.
>>2160643
Say that again, not online, and see what happens.
>>2161282
Wish girl!Strider Hiryu didn't have such shit taste.
Currently watching and enjoying
>Shuumatsu no Izetta

Dropped because boring as fuck
>Long Riders
Downloaded but haven't watched yet
>Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku
>KEIJO!!!!!!!!
Want to watch but need to watch season 1 first
>ViVid Strike!
>Show by Rock
It is actually a great season to me, since I was watching only one or two shows for season.
>>2161325
>Want to watch but need to watch season 1 first
>ViVid Strike!
vivid strike is not the 2nd season of vivid, it's a spin-off and you don't necessarily need to watch vivid to understand the plot of Strike
>>2160259
Literally the Flappenning. FliFla is amazing and I recommend watching the episode multiple times to catch some of the things you missed the first time.
>>2159992
>watching tier (in order of most to least enthusiasm)
Brave Witches
Flip Flappers
Keijo
Long Riders
Izetta
>will watch after it airs if I hear good things tier
ViVid Strike
Hibike
The rest I don't know enough about, but feel free to sell me on any of them.
>>2161375
>feel free to sell me on any of them
>Shakunetsu no Takkyuu Musume
Saki with ping pong and lesbians
>regalia
Lesbian lolies and robots
Is any of this more than vague Saki-tier subtext?
>watching ping pong only because minami tanaka
>>2161453
If you think Saki's subtext is vague, what do you think blatant subtext looks like?
>>2161421
>Regalia
Lesbian lolis that turn into super robots.
To be more precise.
Right now I'm most interested in Regalia, Flip Flappers, and Brave Witches. Izetta is also good, but my ultimate opinion of the show will depend on just how gay it gets. Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku however is just too shit for me. They could have two girls scissoring on screen and I still wouldn't bother because it wouldn't make up for how bad the rest of it is. It's not like we're lacking in yuri this season either so it wouldn't be a big loss.

>Saki with ping pong and lesbians
and sweat
Sweaty, ping pong lesbians.
>>2162345
Recent episode showed that these two are gay for each other.
>>2162358
They're pretty much a couple.
Stella kinda had an interesting ending this week.
>>2172045
You can't just say that without posting any screens, please.
>>2172078
Two characters bonded through the whole episode, and the other characters noticed, so at the end they concluded this.
Flip Flappers and Shuumatsu no Izetta are amazing. The rest is meh.
I feel like I should have liked Regalia, but for some reasons I drop it since ep 1.
>>2177151
Yeah, they are good.
