That one where the psychic girl walks in on her girlfriend fucking her brother. I purged the name from my memory, but I'm sure someone knows what I'm talking about. Fucking trash.

Happy End is a manga that ironically does not have a happy ending. I never read more than two chapters and boy am I glad I got off that shit early because it ends with one of the lesbians marrying a dude. Then the author had the gall to consider that a job well done.

Wife & Wife is actually a fantastic, fluffy, cute and romantic yuri manga, but the problem with it is that every single character is translated to seem like they have a thick southern accent. Go read that and tell me it isn't dumb.

These sorts of threads are always mostly people listing things that are actually okay, basically somewhat popular things they personally didn't like. Even if someone does mention something truly bad, you aren't going to be able to separate it from anon's bad taste, and it'll probably be something you weren't ever going to read/watch anyway.

Obligatory NTR Trap and basically any work by Kodama Naoko mention.

Great art, unlikable characters, incomplete/unsatisfying stories.

Aoi Hana , it's fucking boring and most of the lesbians become het

>>2328914
Yeah ive watched that one about the girl having an incest with her brother, It was prety dumb to think about the whole incest, Magic powers felt forced so that people could make a lewd Yuri that wasent even that good.

Kuttsukiboshi. I was excited by the description, since I love superpower shit, but it was just awful. Do not recommend.

>>2328933
That is, the description on MAL when I watched ages ago.

>>2328923
I tried once to read this but it was so boring that I have to drop it

Hanayamata.

>>2328910
ICE. nuff said.

I haven't read like any manga/LN's but Kanazuki no Miko was pretty mediocre and that's saying something because it was something I watched when I was just getting into anime.

>>2328923
I came here to post that.
Thank you for saying it.
I tried to watch it twice, then that guy suddenly appeared and I was like "Fuck this".

>>2328917
Stop being prophetic

>>2328949
pls Yaya loser

>>2328910
Shitsurakuen. Just... Shitsurakuen. The fact that a bunch of girls go back to their male abusers was already pretty bad, but what really pushes it over the edge was that those same males spent their whole panel time up until then as unrepentant assholes that not only never apologized, but actually demanded an apology from their victims because "we were kinda victims too if you think about it".

Started off with a pretty neat premise too.

Love Lab. (although, to be fair, bait-and-switch isnt really yuri in the first place)

>>2328979
Still better than Nanashi no Asterism
At least Shitsurakuen did a face turn and added a yuri end in the tank version. NnA mangaka did the exact opposite.

Sasameki Koto

I don't think it's absolutely awful, but i wouldn't recommend reading it despite it's status as a "classic", there is way too many side characters that i didn't care about who suddenly got the spotlight seemingly just to stretch out the story, and after the massive amounts of angst and stretched out story the ending wasn't satisfactory at all

I mean, i don't mind angst (i actually kind of like it), but here it just went on and on, it got tiresome

>>2328950
I haven't thought of that OVA in years. Some of the cringiest, lolwtf I have ever watched. But at least I'm able to laugh at it with friends, I can't even do that with Uta Kata because it's so bad.

>>2328914
I also hated that from Wife & Wife, but overall it was p good anyway

>>2328914
>>2329076
>Wife & Wife

but the accents were one of the best parts of that.

>>2329076
Guessing that was the usual translator's attempt to interpret Kansai-ben.

Have more trouble accepting that playgirl sister gave up on a threesome to settle for a typical boring monogamous yuri relationship literally overnight.

>>2328923
>>2328976
Pleb fucking tastes.

The main pairing is Akira, and Fumi, who are both lesbians.

UTAKATA

Ah the one where her brother manipulated her girlfriend into having sex with him before he then died on the surgery table. It actually ends with the girls eventually making up and teleporting to a different planet/dimension. It's as weird as it sounds.

>>2329118
Brother manipulated his sister who was the girlfriend

Simoun. Shitty boring """story""" (no one understands what the fuck happened), ugly character designs, no budget, fugly 3DCG, the girls become trannies and basically is not yuri because the characters aren't even female in the first place, they don't have a sex.

Stupid overrated show. I still don't get how people here can like it because in other places no one likes it.

>>2329130
Wow such salt.

Simoun is considered a classic everywhere, faggot.

And the two main pairings all remain female.

Lemonade; She, Her Camera and Her Seasons; Nanashi no Asterism. All those come to mind.

Gotta go with Love Slave. Edgy trash with no redeeming qualities or likable characters. The mangaka has the same guy rape two lesbians without suffering any consequences and still writes him with some sympathy. When she wants relationship drama, she makes the heroine walk in on her girlfriend having scat-based BDSM with a third person.

/u/ is the worst yuri I have ever read, constant fearmongering and they are pretty mean toward Yaya.

Despite that, I still don't get it why I always come to read /u/ at the end of the day

So does Nanashi no Asterism really end with absolutely no yuri and surprise het?

I'm kinda surprised this thread didn't immediately turn into a kuttsukiboshi shit storm.

>>2329145
Tsukasa ends up with a boyfriend, Washio and Kotooka are maybe kind of in an implied platonic relationship.
I was hopeful even after the first volume, but that ending is so rage inducing.

>>2328986
It's not really the fact that some of the girls got with the guys that really got to me. If it was done tactfully, I would be able to look past it, but still be a bit disappointed. It's the fact that it was done in an extremely untactful and frustrating way.

That said, Nanashi no Asterism was also really frustrating fucking nothing got resolved and the main damn character got a boyfriend. For me though, I was optimistic about the first couple of chapters of NNA but quickly realized that it was going nowhere anytime soon and became progressively more apathetic about it, so the ending didn't really hit me as hard as what Shitsurakuen pulled.

Not the worst anime I've seen (in fact I quite liked it), but definitely Soukou no Strain had the worst portrayal of yuri in a good anime for me.

Lavinia wasn't just the usual gag lesbian side-character, she went above and beyond with her lesbian stalker antics with serious consequences for the MC. She somehow managed to make the yuri the worst part of the show for me.

>>2328910
I swear, /u/ is becoming more like /b/ everyday.

Hen by Oku Hiroya if you can even call that shit yuri.

NTR triggers the fuck out of me, even if it's some chick leaving a guy to go scissor.
Just makes everything seem so pathetic.

Aoi hana is boring and i'm glad it's been left in the dust of forgotten crap

I'm sorry there's a yuri anime that shows how painful it is to be a lesbian in a japan, and realistically portrays that there's more straight girls, then homosexual ones.

>>2329214
>then
It's than. Then is for time passing and than is comparing

The small amount of people who dislike Aoi Hana are the ones who think Strawberry Molestation, and Kannazuki No Rapo are "classics".

>>2329218
Why are you using a comma you retard.

My least liked yuri manga that I've finished was Octave. One that I've dropped before completion was Nanashi no Asterism, which I think I dropped after one or two chapters. There's other titles I've dropped that I disliked more but I don't go out of my way to remember names of stuff I didn't like.

>>2329178
>t's been left in the dust of forgotten crap
Or you could just say you're a new as fuck newfag who can't enjoy better-than-average writing.

>>2329307
Also Strawberry Panic, Octave, Kannazuki no Miko, Citrus.

In terms of anime, I'd say that one with the sisters that everyone likes. I had to drop it; nothing happened at all.

Also KnM. Chikane was pretty neat, but I don't need shitty mecha fights interrupting my angst and drama all the time.

I'd already completely lost any affection for Asterism before that ending but I wouldn't put it among the worst. Even with the sluggish pace it does enough right with storytelling to have some positives(even if a lot of that was to do with the male side pairing).

For manga I'd agree with NTR. They're all so unlikable I can't give a shit about anything.
For anime KnM. Unfortunately lesbians can't save an intrinsically shitty narrative. Not unless there's porn anyway.

Strawberry Panic.

Just. no.

Sasameki Koto. Characters were incredibly dramatic (Kazama's crying and that one Manga girl) in a cringey way. Dialogue was boring as hell, art is mediocre. I tried so hard to finish it but ended up stopping because all these things were frustrating to get through.

Most of Octave's drama seem to be drama just for the sake of it like the wanting to sleep with a man one.

Not a big fan of Candy either.

It must be nice for all the newfriends who can afford to be picky about their yuri and trash talk series that /u/ was basically founded on

>>2329352
I'm not going to challenge anyone for what shows they hated, it's their opinion, but I just wanted to say that apart from that extremely controversial part, Octave had little drama. There was angst over where the characters were in their lives sure, but not much drama.

>>2329352
>Most of Octave's drama seem to be drama just for the sake of it
That's called melodrama nee-san and it is the worst kind of drama.

>>2329384
No, drama for the sake of it is not called melodrama and melodrama is not bad.

>>2328933
Not that it excuses Kuttsukiboshi, but there is a pepper cut which re-cuts the entire thing into something a lot more palatable.


The thing I personally don't like is how many series end with an ending where, if you don't have yuri googles, it could be argued that they're "just friends" and that "they will grow out of it". I want proper endings to series where the characters have been shown to mature and stand by their choices, preferably with a "years later" sequence where they're still together

Aoi Hana.

Not saying it's the worse ever, just that it's the worst I've read. I loved it at first and then hated it so, so much.

So tangentially related question. I think of Aoi Hana, Sasameki Koto and Girl Friends as some kind of yuri classics but I see some of them have a sizeable group that dislikes them. What do you guys think of Bloom Into You in comparison to these? So far I personally think it's better than all of them but I wanted to hear your opinions.

The feelings we all most endure for shit ending and Sachi
Aoi Hana for bait and switch trash
Citrus for shit writing
Happy end for bad end

>>2329394
Five years from now anons will shit on it when whatever they think is the new great yuri hope appears.

Assuming we're not all dead by then

>>2329353
Just because a thing was founded on something doesn't mean that something is good.

>>2329394
I really liked Girl Friends, but it just drags on, and on, and on, the last volumes are where stuff really happens.
I was enjoying Bloom Into You, but Yuu annoyed me a lot, I was getting really tired of her lovephobia, I have to read it again, I stopped around chapter 12 I guess.

>>2329392
I kinda feel the same way. If you remove Sugimoto, Kyouko and the pedo cousin then the manga would be very good, even if you leave the retarded Akira drama at the end.

That said I have read far worse things like Hourou Musuko. Just how do you fuck up your longest running manga that much.

Last Exile 2.

I don't care if the MC is alpha, she's is as annoying as Naruto, as repetitive as dubbed Anzu/Tea from Yugioh with the stupidity of Yui and none of the charisma and she's in an awfully written story resolved by 'dramatic speech and sky racing.'

Also 75% Wrong Mugino likes it so that gives it less than 1000 points.

>>2329401
You can't deny that current yurifags cone off as pretty entitled when us oldfags got by on the handful of Lililicious release we got a year. These days there's so much yuri scanlators can't keep up with it.

They bitch and moan about how men are more male characters are showing in their yuri when that have ALWAYS been a thing.

And it's not like they don't have a dozen other alternatives. In the past if you didn't like KnM you didn't really have many other choices.

>>2329407
I have been into yuri since 2004 but you're making a retarded point. I know where you come from but as of lately we have been getting quality yuri out of the quantity, such that when you compare good works from today to past ones many of the new ones are better, and it shouldn't be surprising because the genre clearly has been refining itself throughout the years. Nostalgia goggles are real, though, so watch out.

>>2329410
Yeah, I kinda scratch my head when someone implies that we've passed some 'golden age of yuri' and we're on a decline. If anything there's more good currently running stuff and recent stuff then ever before. There's still shit now yes but I think this mindset mostly comes from newer people who read all the classics at once and so their view of the timeframe gets distorted.

>>2329407
I've been around for a long ass time. Consumed every yuri manga there is. I can appreciate the classics while also calling out the ones that were plain shit.

>>2329411
I'm not one of the "golden age had passed" bunch but I must say anime-wise, there's still nothing like KnM, Mai Hime, Stopani, i.e. works that give us canon lesbians who end up together without fucking a guy in between.

A dozen of CGDCT and other subtexty shows like Izetta/FlipFlap are enjoyable and all but they'll be forgotten in no time.

>>2329421
Yeah, I'm admittedly not very big on anime so that could be it. I've watched and loved yurikuma, Izetta and Flip Flappers but that's about it.

>>2329438
Oh yeah and Madoka of course. I don't watch much anime but I read lots of manga.

>>2329421
Flip Flappers will probably be remembered for the Yaya jokes if nothing else.

>>2329398
>Bait and Switch.

Statutory rape exists in real life.

>>2329463
>Statutory rape exists in real life.
And? Actually I don't have a problem with actual yuri rape and yuri age-gap, it's just that the cousin added yet more het drama to the series.

>>2329467
One of Fumi's internal struggles was the fact her girlfriends were being taken by men. Its a part of her character development. Sugimoto wants Fumi back after a man ruins their relationship, but Fumi, whose grown as a character because of Akira, tells her to fuck off.

I'm sorry if anon is too stupid to understand good writing.

>>2329463
All the lesbians except Fumi ended up with guys

>>2329475
>Aoi Hana
>good writing
See >>2329477

>>2329477
Sugimoto ended up with her roomate, a female. The two lesbian teachers stay with each other. Fumi and Akira end up together.

>>2329483
I will NEVER EVER forgive Shitmura for Kyouko.

>>2329485
Same, I didn't give a shit about Sugimoto cause she was walking Class S complex, but Kyouko for me was completely a lesbian who was only friends with the guy for long time before Shimura suddenly decided to turn her straight for him out of nowhere and it was hetero romance ending.

I didn't care much more about Akira either, if anything I would want Fumi x Kyouko ending as a true ending, but Shimura decided to go with something else.

>>2329492
>Fumi x Kyouko
This makes no sense at all.

>>2329492
That the most retarded pairing i've ever heard, and confirms you have shit taste. Fumi and Akira were destined for each other

>>2329222
>English major
>still no idea how to use a comma
English is, on many levels, an absolutely abhorrent language. I do love it so, though.

>>2329139
>When she wants relationship drama, she makes the heroine walk in on her girlfriend having scat-based BDSM with a third person.

This still seems preferable to a no reason 11th hour breakup.

>>2329495
Iirc you need at least three items in a list before breaking out the Oxford comma.

I sure as hell hope you know what you're going to do with that degree

>>2328910
i don't know , maybe i have shit taste

but i actually don't like those love storys where the femc is totally in love with the other girl , but that girl is a total pervert and just wants to have sex with her without actually doing something a couple wound do other than sex.

Like sono hanabira 1 , it has some good moments but i kinda did not like the blonde girl doing all that.

Yuri should be about pure and innocent love

>>2329618
>spoiler
You mean friendship

>>2329618
Get out of here fucking scum. Go back to you're shitty, homophobic, class s stories.

>>2329421
KnM, Stopani and Mai Hime are shitty shows that people only remember because of nostalgia, though. Most modern shows are way better than those. Sure, only /u/ will remember things like FliFla, but only /u/ remembers Simoun, too. I doubt most show we love today will be forgotten.

Hell, Izetta is the best work from the guy who wrote Mai Hime, and it's not filled with het, either.
And hell, Mai Hime might have canon lesbian, but the only couple is still subtext.

I'll take subtext over shitty writing any day

>>2329640
>Izetta is the best work from the guy who wrote Mai Hime
You can't be serious

>>2329653
I am. I don't even think the writing in Izetta is that good, but it's worse in Mai-Hime.

>>2329656
At least Mai Hime made it bearable to watch because most of the cast are women.

>>2329662
Are you kidding? Mai Hime is a het fest

>>2329662
Izetta has more important female characters than Mai Hime. Also, Mai-Hime had one maybe yuri couple as side characters (one of them becoming object of fanservice with a male character involved), and mostly bait scenes because everyone else was het or useless.

I watched it recently for the first time, maybe that's why I can't understand how people love it so much.

But I guess it's better than Mai Otome...with an Ova where the only lesbian character is made a stripper for men as a joke.

>>2329667
Still better than Izetta

Anime: Kuttsukiboshi, Valkyrie Drive
Manga: Shitsurakuen, Happy End

>>2329688
At least dead people stays dead there.

Why don't we talk about the yuri we've watched/read that we actually liked/enjoyed the mod? Or is /u/ completely unable of thinking positive?

We do that all the time though. Usually with threads for each of them.

>>2329734

I might be the only one but I didn't care for Strawberry panic. It was just a trashy love drama and the main couples weren't even interesting. Some side characters redeemed it for me though like Yaya and Chikaru but overall it was really boring.

>>2329750
>>Yaya
Its pretty pathetic and disgusting how some people idolize rapists.

>>2329750
When I first saw it, being relatively new to yuri, I thought it was really awful writing.

But, some time later, I really started to enjoy it. Honestly, the writing is still poor and it's horribly cliched, but that (and the recurring abject expressions of despair on Yaya and Tamao) make it very pleasant to watch if you know what you're getting into.

>>2329750
>only one

No way. Couldn't even go past two episodes.
You know what's funny? Except for the fact she doesn't have a dick, Shizuma is pretty much like any male lead from any trashy shoujo.

>>2329667
>>2329681

I don't know why you guys are arguing about het or importance of female characters since that's not my point.

I'd rather watch a show with a large cast of women (even if some are het) than a handful of women surrounded by men. Which is what Izetta is.

>>2329857
So you would rather watch a hundred straight girls than ten lesbians? The men in Izetta aren't even relevant. And most of them died

It doesn't matter, anyway, since Izetta is gayer than Mai Hime and Mai Otome together.

>>2329833
cloning =/= ressurrection

I remember that one """"""""""Yuri"""""""""" about a bride growing out of her romace with a girl because she's getting married to a guy, and both just go with it.

Also if you watch any yuribait (See: KyoAni) and actually expect yuri it's pretty awful.

>>2329695
At least Mai Hime is fun

>>2329861
The men in Izetta gets load of screen time whether they die or not.

The fact that you're arguing that there's more lesbians in Izetta than Mai Hime is laughable.

>>2329974
The plot of the main character in Mai Hime is all about the male characters, while they're just side characters in Izetta.
The only "yuri" relationship (still subtext) in Mai Hime is between side characters and they get like, some three episode, while it's all Izetta is about.

Seriously, take off your nostalgia goggles. The fact you think Izetta has more male presence than Mai Hime is stupid.

>>2329974
Are you fucking retarded? Half the scenes in Mai Hime are dedicated to Het.

>>2329978
While the plot Mai had between Tate and Reito did take up more screentime than any other relationship, I feel like calling Natsuki a mere sidecharacter is really underplaying her significance. She's pretty much the second most important character behind Mai herself.

Plots like Mai's little brother and his "I'm totally a manly man" ninja friend were the side character plots.

>>2329983
When it came to the last battle, what was Natsuki doing?
Yeah, that's right, dead.

>>2329986
Seeing how the majority of the characters "die" you have no point.

>>2329986
So if Dragon Ball ended at the Cell Arc, Goku would be a side character?

>>2329993
He was a side character in that arc, yeah, since Gohan was the protagonist.

>>2329996
Seems like you just have a very wide definition for side character than I. Regardless, Mai, Natsuki and Mikoto are the three most important characters in Mai Hime. If you want to only classify Mai as the protagonist and everything else as a side-character, fine.

However, Natsuki is high enough on the food chain that her plot was given plenty of screentime and a proper onscreen resolution.

Hell, Tate wasn't even Mai's main plot. Mikoto was.

>>2329421
But there was a male love interest in KnM.

>>2330005
Despite his best efforts, he basically stepped on a landmine relationship-wise as soon as he reached first base, so neither Chikane nor Himeko literally fucked any guys in between despite how much Chikane's actions probably should have led to that.

>>2330008
Hell, the fact that after Chikane raped Himeko and Himeko didn't go crying into Souma's arms even though he's a pretty nice guy, all things considered, probably solidifies Himeko as a high rank dyke. It just took her getting raped by another woman and literally breaking into tears when a guy kisses her to realize it.

>>2330008
I read that as "a fucking guy" rather than "fucking a guy" so I guess I have to defer, and go to sleep.

>>2329640
You're nothing but a newfag who couldn't admit facts.

Izetta is shit and will be forgotten in no time. And no, not even because of its cowardly approach to lesbians, but because its plot is shit. Mai Hime is a sucessful anime because if its sheer plot alone. ShizNat also singlehandedly created the biggest yuri fanfiction archive.

There's nothing wrong with enjoying subtexty shows, but they never will be KnM/MH, works which no faggot can rationalize "they're just friends!" No other show will ever boldly present lesbians who RAPED their target of affections yet still won. Over the MALE rivals. The victory these shows gave the yuri fandom was unbelievable.

>>2330037
Yes, it sure was great when Shizuru won in an artbook and helped perpetuate the shitty lesbian rapist character type. And won't you believe it, people wrote lots of fanfics about her!

>>2329527
Yep, it's three items. The original post wasn't me.
I have zero fucking idea what I'm doing with my major. I would rather fall doing something I enjoy than succeed doing something I hate.

>>2330037
>No other show will ever boldly present lesbians who RAPED their target of affections yet still won. Over the MALE rivals.

Calling that sport dude the Shizuru's male rival for Natsuki is a stretch. I don't think anyone even remembers his name.

>>2330058
Takeda.

>>2330061
Yeah, no one seriously thought that he was going to get together with Natsuki right? I'll admit that I went into it with some knowledge in advance, but Takeda just screamed minor character with no chance in pretty much every scene he was in.

>>2329160
Wait what? Tsukasa did ? WHAT THE FUCK!

>>2330064
It was mentioned in the epilogue after a timeskip in a throwaway line. Probably a little "fuck you" from the author to the audience.

>>2329130
>Characters aren't even female in the first place
Except they are, numbnuts. Some have to become 'male' to keep the species alive, but even then they still have tits and girlish bodies for the most part.

>>2330067
What a fucking faggot man. 'Lets just fuck over the fans! haha, that'll show em!' I fucking hate that shit.

I'm surprised Yuri Kuma Arashi hasn't been mentioned by anyone. I haven't actually seen/read it myself, but I always got the impression that it was quite divisive.

this thread got me to read Love Slave. just finished a few minutes ago.

it was a stupid fucking decision.

>>2330125
Why on earth would you try to readvlove slave?

>>2330073
The manga was okay.

The show was pretty bad.

>>2330073
tried to watch this, couldn't get past ep 3, and we really tried

maybe i just have pleb taste because i cant parse all of the insane symbolism

>>2330166
Yeah, Ikuhara is a crazy dude.
Just read the manga, where Morishima toned down his craziness a lot and ended up with a better story than he wrote.

>>2328910
Someone already mentioned Happy Ending, but for me, Stretch takes the cake: chapters and chapters of NOTHING, not even as a good slice of life story.
The backlash was amazing on that.

>nothing got resolved
I don't see how you can say that nothing got resolved in Asterism. Tsukasa gives up on Washio. Kotooka gives up on Tsukasa. At some point during the timeskip, Kotooka (whose autistic quest to preserve the sanctity of the "three-person group" was the source of pretty much all the drama in the series) also learns to accepts the "two and one" vision of the "three-person group" that Tsukasa learned to accept in the final chapter. This frees her to date Washio, and Tsukasa ends up going her own way romantically, which is where we end up after the timeskip. Okay, I filled in some blanks there, but I really don't see how there's any other reasonable reading of the final chapter.

I can get why people think the resolution of the story is total garbage, a slap in the face to everyone both in the bombshell revelation and what it says about one character's feelings, but "nothing got resolved" is wrong. If anything, the story was resolved too easily, cheaply even, and all at once.

>>2330166
Eh, I felt like the anime was too busy trying to make clever symbolisms that it forgot to make the anime actually enjoyable and engaging to watch.

I think that people who rate it highly is because they're proud they figured out what each part of the anime symbolizes rather than if the anime was actually good.

>>2330057
Cybernetics.

>>2330184
I think that was the other anon's point and you got stuck on the pedantic definition of nothing. It was resolved without showing it and was shit on top of that. No one would choose to read all that buildup to the main conflict's resolution just to see a timeskip 1 page ending imply how it really went down. In the spirit of the story as it presented itself that shouldn't be treated as a resolution.

>>2330125
You're not alone. I actually read it in 2012 but didn't remember much, so I just re-read it. Now I know why past-me wasn't impressed at all and I tried to remove the memory of it from my brain.

>>2329640
You have shown your true shit, pleb taste when you claimed Mai Hime is a shitty show. It had its ups and downs but it is still solid and mind that it is not a yuri show, you fucking retarded newfag. Only Shizuru is gay, and literally everyone in the show are straight except for her.

>>2330359
Also Yukino is gay. And there were hints in the anime that Natsuki is probably gay too

>>2330037
>Mai Hime is a sucessful anime because if its sheer plot alone.

If you really think that, anything else I say is useless. Enjoy your shitty shows, I guess.
Also, just remember no one gives a shit anymore about any of these. Outside of /u/, they're pretty much dead.

>>2330288
I figured author was planning to drag it out for one million more chapters but got wrecked because the manga sucked and was canceled so it all had to be rolled into the last chapter.

>>2330444
Yeah, seems like it really skipped the process so I wouldn't call what we got a resolution.

maria sama ga miteru.
snorefest

>>2329111
Yeah, and how much of the manga is actually dedicated to them getting together or being together compared to heterosexual antics? It's like a more worthy Sasameki Koto, but at least that had more lesbianism in it.

>>2328910
Citrus, the melodrama is just kind of annoying.

>>2329002
I tried reading Sasameki Koto and liked the first chapter but then it seemed to turn into a gay Love Hina with equally shitty humour.

>>2329394
Depends how Bloom into You ends. Never got around to finishing Aoi Hana but unless it takes a massive nosedive after volume 6 or 7, then I think they'll probably (at worst) be on an equal footing of being "above average".

I don't know if my perspective of Girlfriends is different because I read it all at once but I think the pacing of the story was alright, I mean, given the target audience, I can see why some people might view some of the drama as being trite but the characters were relatively consistent and it manages to convey a relatively optimistic romance without too much padding to avoid rolling to a premature conclusion.

Overall, I think Aoi Hana and Girlfriends might be slightly overrated for what they are and if Bloom into You has a convincing end, it'll probably be slightly more deserving of the same praise heaped on Girlfriends.

Kase-san is the real patrician pick though.

Strawberry Panic.

It's garbage.

>>2328910
Most of the popular series /u/ likes to talk about are pretty bad. If you want an example look at the front page.

>>2330687
/u/ mostly talks about anything but actual yuri

>>2330691
I know you're trying to be hip because we're neighbors with /v/ but at least lurk before you shitpost.

>>2329778
>>2329757
>>2329834
I don't understand how anybody can enjoy the turnout of strawberry panic.

Innocent naive girl falls in love with the big bad and older onee sama who obviously plays her and has done it with other young girls before since she is experienced.

Her close friend loves her genuinely, is cute in her own way and deserves the naive girl much more.
Gets her heart broken in the end, must watch as her beloved innocent friend gets taken away by onee sama who should't have interfered and wou could've take a rejection much better.

This is so wrong, I'm actually confused why such horrible storys are even written.
Watching strawberry panic when I was younger probably might be one of the reasons why I think falling in love with anybody would eventually cause me to get NTRd.
I know I'd kill myself if I was Yaya or Tamao.

>>2330740
TL;DR you're a Tamaofag.

I remember being excited and watching it while it was still ongoing but I ended up dropping it after 2 episodes. It was way to weird.

I finally decided to watch all of it one day and I didn't think it was all that bad. I actually think it's better than most of the trashy yuri anime we have. First few episodes are cancer though, but it gets better and cuter

>>2330217
You're probably right on that one, ne-sama, but I'm pretty dumb so I don't get a lot of symbolism yet I still enjoyed it

>>2330125
Fuck, all that bullshit almost makes me want to try.
Almost.

>>2330740
Yaya is a fucking rapist and its disgusting people contuine to defend her. Amane treata Hibbi right.

>>2335019
>Amane treata Hibbi right.
She had sex with her in a stable. Couldn't even wait for a more romantic spot. They probably caught something shortly afterwards.

>>2335019
Nothing wrong.

Akuma no Riddle. Boring plot, generic characters with barely explored backstories and nobody even dies despite a story about assassins. What was the point?

>>2329405
Damn it how Shimura ruined Hourou Musuko... I fucking love it till everything went nonsense... Takatsuki liking Nitori? Doi after Chiba? WTF? I kind of decided to ignore that shit and see it as another troll move from this TROLL mangaka and pretend the role given to takatsuki (confessing to Nitori and being rejected) and Doi (Suddenly telling Chiba to dump that stupid guy [whose name Doi knew perfectly btw, don't know why he couldn't remember it while confesing] and date him) are exchanged so that Doi goes all the way to tell his true feeling to Nitori and be rejected and Takatsuki ask Chiba out and she obviously says yes.

It makes so much more sense to me like this that I just assume that's how it was intended to happen and I won't let Shimura troll me any other way.

Pretty much every classic /u/ anime is garbage

strawberry panic and pretty much anything with manly faggot prince girls

It was embarrassingly bad and not gay enough.

>>2335968
Amane is the reason why I tend to dislike short blue haired girls.

>>2328914
y-you mean SKU

;_;

Between the Sheets

Chuux2 Trap

Absolutely shit garbage. A lesbian moves to new school in hope of making new girlfriend but meets a vampire girl who is a boy. And started to have hots for him and then had kiss with him in just ch 2.

So much for being a lesbian.

Ugh.

>>2328910
almost all Slice of Life yuri manga / anime are boring

>>2329391
>there is a pepper cut which re-cuts the entire thing into something a lot more palatable
I nevver got those attempts. If you are so sensitive don't watch it, but ffs making fan edits like that sounds pathetic to me.
At least don't recommend such stuff to others people. Literature/films/etc deserve some respect, even if we don't like them.

Also, I don't agree with Kuttsukiboshi being terrible. It's no masterpiece but it was okay.

>>2341082
>Literature/films/etc deserve some respect
They aren't alive. They don't deserve anything. If people can make gay furry porn fanart for anime they like, cutting it into pieces is a minor offense.

That one where they do the backflip across the balcony.

You know the one I'm talking about.

>>2341089
I'm honored.

>>2341088
Yeah, the show was too dumb.I am okay with SoL comedy but it needs to be more like K-On or Azumanga.
Actually Kaede was amusing, but the "romance" bits were so sucky. I had a crisis watching it when that soap-opera level clichy drama with Shizuku's GF's family (can't remember name, Kiyone?) appeared.

It isn't really worst, it just was quite disappointing.

>>2341090
Can I call him Ronald Tdump? (note yet sure whether to consider that douchebag just an asshole or if his actions are determined by actually being villainous, so not sure if he really deserves that tho).

>>2341109
Chill, I'm not even from USA or America, nor remotely teen and also quite distant from your popular-politcs camps/fandoms (which is how you people seem to use the term "liberal" these days - which is kinda dumb IMHO, "liberalism" means freedom, rule of law and democracy and is the absolute core of the western civilization, regardless of whether you prefer american left or american right).

>>2341142
Actually wait, USA has got so far that political revenge fanfics are a thing? That sounds like almost a cause for concern, I guess I better not look if we have that too, here. Sorry for going offtopic there, but that's rather interesting phenomenon a way.

Well, looks like janitors didn't appreciate my name suggestions. Shame, I actually wouldn't mind Donald Duck as my president.

>>2341161
>USA has got so far that political revenge fanfics are a thing?
Not really, but fanfiction authors who write for Western fandoms often can't hold back a jab at America's current political situation. Though now I'm kinda interested to see if there are smut fics with countries fucking other countries.

>>2341088
That was a frontflip, onee-san.

I'll have to think about this for a while, there's so much that all the crap blends together.
recently Valkyrie Drive was probably the worst.

Why is not anyone complaining about Venus vs Virus?
Or those horrible endings of Yuri's early years

>>2343883
How's VvV end anyway?

>>2343957
I was talking about Anime, I'm not sure of the manga, without resolution?
It is sad that try to promote them as Yuri...
they are based on the tag system ExHentai?

What other manga is stupidly cataloged Yuri?

>>2343957
It doesn't really have what you could consider an "ending." That requires a resolution at the end lol.

>>2341171
It's called Hetalia, and it's almost explicitly yaoi.

>>2329218
I dislike Aoi Hana. I also dislike KnM, and haven't watched Strawberry Panic. So who knows.

Yeah, Aoi Hana is realistic. Okay. But I really dislike the ending where the pair not together, regardless how good the writing is.

>>2330073
it is best to view it as abstract art anime.

>>2344795
They did get together, although it was pretty much right at the end

>>2344795
That was the best part of the show. The implication was right there.

Nanashi no shiterism
Start with yuri
End with het MC + yaoi
Fk this shit manga.

>>2344816
Honestly, I'm tired of implication. I'm tired of... subtext. No matter how heavy is it.

And to pay thread tax... well, hmm. I tend to read review first, and get spoiled as all hell, so I don't watch most of really bad/sad yuri. Still, I remember reading Shitsurakuen and dislike the ending.

Though, I get the sense the author is just realizing the premise he setup is too extreme, and want to walk back, but don't know how. Really, it'd be better if it's foreshadowed first instead of SUDDEN REDEMPTION. I probably won't react as badly if there's an arc or two spent to redeem most of the boys.

Or rather, most of the school.

Oh, and don't make the worst girl win. At least, not without proper redemption arc.

And... it is not yuri, but I recall an anime in school with strange competition starring lesbian MC that doesn't end up with conclusive pairing. Hmm. I forgot the name.

>>2345543
>Though, I get the sense the author is just realizing the premise he setup is too extreme, and want to walk back, but don't know how.
As I recall, the series was rather abruptly cancelled. Hence the rushed ending. Doesn't really excuse the SUDDEN REDEMPTION bullshit, but at least explains why nobody got a decent resolution.

>>2345543
>>Fumi is in love with her female cousin, used to fuck with her
>>Fumi dates her older senpai
>>Fumi comes out of the closest to her best friend
How is any of this subtext?!

>>2345022
The only thing confirmed it's het, both yaoi and yuri endings are implied

>>2345583
>implied yuri]
between who ? there was nothing.

>>2345583
You could say the same thing about the boys, the twin was a siscon the whole time and Asakura wanted to date Tsukasa.

>>2345591
Meant to>>2345587

>>2345587
Tsukasa all but announces in big flaming letters that one day Kotooka will turn towards Washio, and they still have their matching bracelets in the epilogue. There is no reasonable reading of the final chapter that doesn't have them together.

>>2345757
You can read into an unreasonable story all you like but there is nothing reasonable about Tsukasa's timely soothsayer abilities. It isn't proof of anything other than the shitty rushed writing in a canceled ending.

>>2345787
The shitty rushed writing in a canceled ending is specifically how the story would have played out if not canceled.

>>2345591
hey, at least they got an extra chapter.

>Yuri Monogatari
Bunch of poorly-drawn oem lesbian fiction with the occasional proper yuri story mixed in.
>Kannazuki no Miko
Got recommended to me by a yurifag who turned out to be an actual faggot. Was not expecting garbage /m/ or garbage fantasy. Didn't help that the /u/ was garbage too.
>VvV
So boring even back when I was craving anything remotely /u/ I couldn't last two volumes. Doesn't help that I don't like that sort of fantasy. The old Seven Seas yuri line was a joke.

>>2329218
I'm sorry if you find it problematic, nee-san, but rape is a forgiveable crime and is fine to be portrayed as part of relationship development.

>>2329218
Well, You only watched the anime, where chikane was a piece of shit for such a selfish reason.
Now in the manga her actions ard more justified, there is an actual reason for doing THAT, like a lesser evil.
Anime chikane deserves to die, manga chikane did nothing wrong.

>>2346144
>Anime chikane deserves to die
That was literally her plan all along.

>>2346144
That... was the whole point of the rape scene, to turn Chikane into a "villain" and make Himeko hate her, it was her entire plan

I'm curious, do people criticize KnM for the rape scene because they think that it was badly written/handled poorly or because it triggers them?
