>>2341413
First to say you're wrong
>>2341415
You forgot your name, SHiT.
>>2341417
not him, but could you please explain why there's so much hatred towards him
>>2341419
Go ask in the previous thread you samefag
Hi, new to /u/
What do I start watching?
Could /u/ stop being so mean without any need at all? It's starting to feel like other boardscome on ladies don't ruin it
Second for RanAo~
>>2341424
go to https://dynasty-scans.com/ and start reading thousands of doujins, as for shows, I couldn't really tell ya, maybe Strawberry panic, Yuru Yuri, and Sakura trick; those at least have explicit yuri in them, a lot of other shows are just subtext which can be good as well.
I don't know, I honestly think this is some kind of running joke of SHiN. People who have actually worked with him have said he's not really this psychotically obsessed with Aoi, and many of his posts boarder on self-parody.
>>2340953
Friendly reminder that /a/'s Gods are on our side.

"The city where we were born, the shops we walked past
The crepe that we bought and ate together
I’m not forgetting it
I won’t forget it
That moment when you touched my heart
I put a name
On the sun that we saw together
from the classroom window
I will tell you next time
Please listen to me properly, okay"

"Don’t ever let go of this hand let’s go together

Nakatani just follows Momono Moto.
I hope she can appear in Eclair someday.
>>2341431
Thanks!
Happy Birthday Rona. Here's your gift.
Great, another unnecessary General thread that is just full of shit.
>>2341434
I see. So there's a difference between shitting all over everything and ironically shitting all over everything?
<3
>>2341497
Mods don't care anymore and I guess neither should we.
Next General Thread will be started on Page 2 or 3.
>>2341424
The big 3: Kiniro Mosaic, Yuyushiki and Urara Meirochou.
>>2341534
Careful, neckbeard. Your butthurt is showing.
>>2341551
There ain't no butthurt. Merely stating the truth. They don't seem to care about this so-called Page 9 rule and hence we can start a new thread whenever.
>>2341452
That would be nice. I like the series she's drawing in Liberty but she isn't writing it.
>>2341572
I believe they're referring to Nakatani.
Thoughts on RanAo, /u/?
>>2341584
Huh? Nakatani Nio is already in Eclair.
>>2341592
Oh, I'm an idiot. I thought you guys were talking about Galette. Stupid French names.
>>2341593
Now I'm wishing there was a yuri magazine called Macaron.
>>2341424
Simoun.
>>2341600
Man, all you need to do is mention that show and I get the soundtrack stuck in my head.
I don't think there is a single yuri work out there about a short seductress girl specialized mostly on enticing older girls.

Bottom is best
I will post this in every general thread until Bocchi gets an anime.
>>2341644
I'm against you.
I will post this in every general thread until Anon watches Aikatsu!.
>>2341645
My goal is not to get people to support me, though that is appreciated. My goal is simply to make people aware of Bocchi so that everyone keeps her in their hearts. In your acknowledgement of my mission, I have succeeded.
>>2341647I'm secretly with you, anyway.
>>2341424

Men almost destroyed the world once, why give them a second chance?
>>2341801
Yes, if I was a girl.
>>2341695
Shitsurakuen and Nanashi no Asterms are both published by Square Enix. Really makes you think.
>>2341823
Gosh, I'd hope not. It'd mean we'd have to be punished.
>>2341741
A miserable pile of cuteness and romance between girls. But enough talk.
>>2341827
They also published Prunus Girl and are publishing Murcielago.
So yeah, it probably has less to do with Squeenix and more to do with the mangaka.
>>2341801
Is this from the new animu movie?
Because in the mango Sanakan literally preggos Cibo with science.
If you are the type that takes a shot every time a manga mentions "both girls", do NOT read Kase-san.
>>2341844
You CAN NOT stop me.
>>2341849
Please, Anon. You don't have to throw your life away life this...
>>2341840
Yeah. The movie omits a lot of the manga, but it's understandable, as they have to cram 7 years of mango into 100 minutes.The Silicon life are omitted completely, but Cibo assumes their goal of hacking into the netsphere. It does fold in some stuff from the manga, like how Cibo is head and shoulders taller than everyone else, Sanakan infiltrates the village while impersonating an electrofisher hunter instead of a little girl, and Killy's arm gets chopped off while he's holding the GBE.
If you're a fan of Tsutomu Nihei, then it's definitely worth a watch. Animated Sanakan is a cute.
I want Sanakan to exterminate me, if you know what I mean.

Today's yuri releases.
https://mega.nz/#!uhhQwR5C!NNEW_jDFJ6HbDqXddrS_6j8P7mHM4qIo7ozRXemxuiY
>>2341827
Honestly why is Shitsurakuen considered bad? I thought it end with the two girls married each other
>>2341827
Murcielago is Square Enix, too. Actually, considering how Shitsurakuen and Nanashi went, I think the problem might be few editor's interference in how the story go, so the authors can make all stupid decisions they want.
Quick /u/, should she be shorter or taller? Her partner will be average height
>>2342040
Taller, always go taller. Amazons are best. Nice pic btw
>>2342043
Not a pic; I'm writing. Or at least jot-noting before I get to real writing.
I was leaning towards taller too, but I don't think she'll be amazon heightthough shorter topping is a teensy fetish of mine.In any event, you win. And thanks!
>>2342030
It honestly may not have been 100% the mangaka's fault, and it may have had something to do with portraying all men as evil.
For example, I've actually read something about a manga called Himo Zairu about a group of worthless men trying to make themselves attractive to successful women and that actually had to be put on hiatus because the mangaka was getting harsh criticism because she was "looking down on men" or some bullshit.
So I just finished Blue Drop for the first time. Adorned it. Is the manga worth reading?
>>2342100
I think there was one man who was against the whole system and didn't take part in it. When your core audience are yuri fans and you want to pair the members of a potential yuri harem with males, that's already a rather delicate situation.
Add the fact that said males were complete assholes up until that point that actually emotionally and physically abused the women you plan to pair them up with, it becomes a REALLY delicate situation. However, with some careful character development and good writing, you can probably make readers accept that premise. At that point, you basically needed the precision of a surgery to make everything work out. Instead, the author went all Surgeon Simulator on it.
>>2342021
Yep, the thing is that the end was rushed in a way that it let me think this is not what the mangaka wanted. The last "chapter" is empty, it's the only word that can describe it, and only the epilogue is really a ending, with the two girls married each other.
Opinions on RanAo, /u/?
>>2342108
Yeah, sure. There's not a whole lot of it so even if you don't like it, you won't have wasted much time.
I'm really liking the blatant subtext in this season of Precure
>>2342108
Sure, but just avoid the "Tenshi no Bokura" sub series, it's mainly het/yaoi and iirc it has some anti-yuri stuff by the end.
>>2342115
It's shit, and so is anyone who likes it.
Especially considering they have no romantic interaction at all in their own series.
And those are facts, not opinions.
>>2342115
super good SHiN, I like
>>2341827
It's because Square Enix allows a lot of girl-on-girl content in their shounen/seinen. Seriously, you won't find any seinen/shounen mag with as much explicit lesbian sex/relationship as SQ's Gangan and Joker
However, you can't say their readers enjoy yuri, simply they are ok with it and think girls action is hot, just like ecchi is hot. That's why in there's bound to be lots of bad eggs in those content, fan-service-y stuff or dead lesbians.
>>2342129
Oops, forgot to put my name on.
That was me replying to myself.
>>2342128
The writings were on the wall and fans saw them. That's why there's currently 2 Ran anthologies (with a rumored 3rd one and a RanAo-only event) and a constant stream of RanAo art.
If you didn't see them unlike the vast majority of fans (actual fact), then you must be blind. And/Or you're intellectually and mentally incapacitated to even notice. Thanks for sharing your opinion though.
>>2342129
I like you, Anon.
>>2342142
>he actually thinks he's a fan
There's a reason that you only post art and cropped screen caps from the show of Aoi and Ran standing next to each other (not even looking at each other). There's no writing on the wall, just you being insane.
>screeching that everything is an opinion
Sad.
>I like you, Anon.
Why are you referring to yourself in the third person?
>>2342144
I am sorry you did not understand. I should have used less adult words.
>>2342144
>Why are you referring to yourself in the third person?
This narrative is sad to watch.
Owwie x Ran OTP, I'll bully all you other nerds for disagreeing
>>2342165

Now, you've done it. Now you've really set me off; here come the baseless insults:I bet you like het, faggot
I'll go ahead and show you the door, you're finished here nerd.
>>2342172
I like you, Anon. It's like you're browsing my website right now for RanAo pictures to post.
>>2342175
I bet you's the type a anon who see's a male in a show and keeps watching.

Christ did Shin get their own ack or did ack just feel personally offend over something trivial again? Fuck, can you faggots at least sage?
>SHiN wannabes
It's nice to be popular for once
I'm beyond confused
SHiN was a mistake.
>>2342190
It's basically the Aikatsu version of the "I'm Squidward" meme. Only far less amusing.
>>2342193
Whew, I had lost who I was insulting for the moment, thanks for clearing that up, now to continue:
I bet you watch cgdct anddon't ship them
>>2342196
One of those is not like the other. One of those just doesn't belong.
>>2342205
Ack actually is pretty consistent. So consistent I can say with confidence that the one you replied to is that lunatic.
>>2342210
Good one
This thread is so pathetic. Post RanAo to fix problem.
>>2342203
None of them belong.
>>2342216
A fine choice.

Heh, I see it's time to reveal my true identity, not !Akemi, but it is I, Fag Got!

Remember to report the insane
>>2342224
excellent taste, exquisite
>>2342226
>you should be reporting yourself and SHiN
But how do you know that they aren't the same person?
OH BABY!
蘭あお・ア・ベスト!
>>2342236
ナイス・ペーア・ですね!
Reminder that none of this would have happened if mods had done their job and banned SHiN's spamming instead of protecting him. I always defended the direction this board was taking as the year passed but now it's pure cancer.
Adult RanAo~
>>2342238
The shithole SHiN comes from probably doesn't have welfare.
>>2342246
Oh hey, it's an ACK picture!
>>2342243
That's nice dear, but you must realize this specific episode isn't entirely the flip's fault. ALTHOUGH if you and the other whiners would fucking report maybe it wouldn't've happened and you'd be complaining about something else.
>>2342252
What makes you think that people aren't reporting?
Sehr gut, I laik
>>2342255
Should have added "doesn't get jokes" to the pic.
On the plus side, when the mods finally delete this thread, the old general will be on page 10.
>>2342243
>I always defended the direction this board was taking as the year passed but now it's pure cancer.
You reap what you sow.
>>2342261
It's no use anon, it's like the hydra head, kill one thread and three more will spawn.
>>2342261
If it does, there's another one that's around page seven. This is the third one up and it doesn't really need to be up since it's 'bitch about things anon doesn't like'.
It's 50/50 on getting deleted. Asylum patients usually warrant a much more likely response and mass deletion of posts.
>>2342262
Why is Ichigo + Aoi a more valid ship than Ran + Aoi?
>>2342262
maybe that's because those posts don't actually have any yuri in them, that's just speculation though
>>2342266
Don't take the bait. This is the same guy that calls KyouSaya cancer.
>>2342273
You mean Mami and her meguca harem cancer? He's so against Madomi it's ridiculous.
>>2342272
I've never Aikatsu. I was just curious.
>>2342273
I thought ACK defended KyouSaya to the death?
>>2342276
ACK defends cancer to the death because all shipping=cancer in his mind. He's just a gold medalist in mental gymnastics and doesn't refuses to realize it
Current state of mountain related yuri seems to be growing, perhaps someone will actually translate the rest of yama no susume

Elaborate please?
>>2342290
I want to fucking die
Every thread. Every fucking thread.

If only the threads would slow down
>>2342293
there's that new mountain manga, and there was a mira mountain comic, really I just miss yama no susume
>>2342307
Ah yeah, me too anon. I thought that they had somehow ramped up the yuri in YnS, but honestly I just want a S3.
Mods do your job. This is insane.
Just nuke the whole thread please.
All right everyone, I have a solution. Just put SHiN in your filters (and Mugino too while you're at it). If everyone ignores them, maybe they get the message.
>>2342322
They won't. This thread will end faster then expected.

Well, it'll have the main manga chapter where Hotaru appears at least. Hard to say whether The Spinoff chapters will get adapted since they haven't announced a VA for Chinatsu-sensei.

I was the first to criticize how slow happy sugar life could be but volume 5 was pretty amazing
The last 2 chapters especially have extremely good composition
>>2342485
It's volume 5, guess it's a mistake on the site
It's available on kindle too
Does anyone have a must read list for yuri? I've been out of it since I got burned by stretch so I'm not really sure whats passed me by.
Is Hayate X Blade worth reading? I'm about 20 chapters into it and I'm not really feeling it.
>>2342718
If you don't like the humour, just drop it. It's the selling point.
Yuri doesn't get stronger, if that's what you want to know. In fact, it's the opposite.
>>2342664
What genre are you into?
Do you like comedy or melodrama?
One person's yuri masterpiece is another's cancer. Honestly questions like this should really be answered with the standard "lurk more"
>>2342449A good event to bring the manga out of the current status quo but not a good development for /u/. With MC strayed too far any hope for her redemption is kinda lost. I think the /u/ here is heading straight toward a bad end.
>>2342737
>do you mean
Knowing the author and how humour becomes the selling point, the yuri/subtext probably becomes less of a focus
>>2342737
There's not het.Well, technically there is, but Yuri won in the end, so whatever.But soon the battles become more serious and there's less girls chasing skirts and more sword clashing. Read it only if you want a sport manga with gay girls that probably won't be much romantic focus. The humour never dies, though, that's the reason I like it.
But it's the kind of manga I could see the girls hooking up at the very last chapter. Apparently, it'll never end, though.

So, should Precure stay in the generals from now on?
Female Broly either has a crush on the boy Saiyan or the cute girl Saiyan delinquent (she's also part of her gang).
>>2342743
IIRC the author said any relationship there is yuri by default so no point having romance scenes.
>>2342849
That's good, any place that has it online? Might start reading it again.
>>2342849
Not really that. On a interview in the blog we shouldn't mention she says that she sees girls paired with girls by default. So it's more like, she can't even do het.
>>2342848
So Dragon Ball has trannies these days, huh.

Does anyone know what the story of Innocent Devil is? From what I've seen of it, it seems like another "psycho killer working as a government agent" or something.
>>2342881
Pretty much.
>>2342881
An adult loli genius researches "innocent devils", which are people who have a frame of mind where they'll completely focus and do anything to achieve their objective and don't have the normal emotions like guilt about killing people. She is doing her research for idealistic reasons, but works for a shady government organization. She has a teenage innocent devil as an assistant, helping her with trying to find and capture other ones.
>>2342887
>adult loli
Pick one?
I'm also not really seeing the yuri.
>>2342891
Probably some shit about the assistant devil has the hots for the pseudo loli and does anything to please her. Effectively putting her into devil mode most of the time or something.
>>2342891
Legal loli is a thing.
The relationship between two main characters is quite intimate, more than professional. The loli shouldn't have got too attached but clearly has. The art of them is very suggestive.
And there's a woman who wanted to have sex with the assistant.
>>2342407
I'm still mad it's not titled New Game +.
>>2342909
I was too, until someone here pointed out that if it were New Game +, then it would just be all the characters going through season 1 again except with all the skills and knowledge they gained the first time.
>>2342848
Female Super Saiyans are a thing now? If Super wasn't such garbage in general I would watch it.
New Non Non Biyori anime project in the works
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2017-05-22/atto-non-non-biyori-manga-gets-new-anime-project/.116452
>>2342847
Not neccessarily. Anyone's free to start a new one if they have the content to back it up (or at least be bothered enough to check Pixiv once in a while).
>>2342916
So,Madoka Magica?
>>2342984
Probably more like Persona 4: The Golden Animation. Aoba will be super alpha with max stats, there'd be a new mysterious girl who works in the PR department, and everyone will be confused about where it all fits in the timeline.

Who was it who said that Maho was more a story of "girl meets girl" a Precure series?
>>2343148
>It's really funny how things really got Yuri friendly after the horrible Hetcharge
Probably because the writer simply enjoy more then just one thing.
>>2343148
>It's really funny how things really got Yuri friendly after the horrible Hetcharge
For loose values of "yuri friendly". The girls other than Red and Purple (or at least the Pink) in KiraKira seem to lust after random boys.

Are you seriously watching the current season or are you reading a blog?
Rio is just the typical villain who pretends to be a friend, does a terrible job acting like a normal person
>>2343170
No that ano, but he did have some flags in his first episode. He has a tragic past an Ichika will save him. If romance will follow, no one knows.Ichika is undoubtedly het, anyway.
Yukari is the best character, though.
>>2343163
There is absolutely nothing with Rio so far in term of romance, heck in the latest episode he tried to corrupt Yukari and got manipulated into revealing his identity instead since Yukari is just that good.
>>2343174
It's already revealed in advance spoilers that he is a fairy with a complex toward his sister.
The same sister is the sixth precure, Cure Parfait
I'm following the season and there is really no hint of a romance with him so far, he is far too pathetic and creepy to be seen as a viable romantic partner by little girls at least
>>2343178
Rio simply acts like any perverted stalker would act
Then I was the OP fairy after all, I only hope that with the sixth Cure it will be the same as in Kiniro Moisac
>>2343165
You might wanna get a refund on whatever goggles you're using. Cos I can assure you they're the wrong kind.
About that horsegirl franchise. I know some time ago there was some manga that had a male trainer or whatever. But now they are making another manga and it seems it will focus on the girls. Well, the characters said something about a trainer, but I don't know how it works or if we will ever see them.

He might as well not be there, though. The dude is a non-character, non-detrimental and non-non biyori

Climax != Ending anon. Akina may well very bail out in the last moment or it lasts through several more chapters, though I hope she confesses to Kaede and the series end for real.

I don't care as long as they preserve the Republic of China and all it stands for, the hopes and dreams of 1911 alive today on that Island with the Dreams of Sun Yat-Sen.
>>2343715
Well of course Kirishima would push for gay marriage.
>>2343715
I'm honestly quite surprised. I thought that Japan would be the first to do it in Asia since there's not much opposition there except from the old bogey politicians like Abe.
>>2343740
You don't really know anything about Japan, do you? It's a tremendously conservative culture.
>>2343746
I've been in Japan for a few months. The young people are not conservative at all nowadays, as a form of rebellion to their parents some might say.
Also Japan's conservative culture never really opposed homosexuality itself like in mainland China and Korea, but just the being different part.
>>2343732
and the natural extension of a girl loving a girl is wanting to make an honest woman of her. Taiwan is certainly closer than Canada.
>>2343753
I have no issue believing that to be true, but it does bring me two questions. First, I was of the impression that Japanese youth are some of the most disillusioned and disinterested around when it comes to politics and political activity in general, though that's from articles/news from quite a few years ago. Obviously if they don't participate in political discourse or vote, their attitudes don't really matter much where laws are concerned. Would this be a misapprehension or something that has changed in recent years?
Second, less a question and more musings I suppose, homosexuality even among those who are against it in Japan seems basically one big 'don't ask don't tell' situation. I'd have to imagine is a lot harder for people, even youths who are more open-minded about it these days, to really care about the issue unless there's a lot of visible activism regarding it. My impression is it's hardly anything visible or a political issue that gets any focus at all, such that it could easily slip through the cracks and simply get forgotten even if there was actual majority support for gay marriage in Japan.
Is Boku no Hero Academia worth reading? Any strong, single, female characters I canlust over?

Yes, you're absolutely right. They are as far as I know still apathetic now. It's more or less the defining characteristic of the current generation of Japanese. And because of that it's always the same people (the old conservatives) being voted because only older people are voting. However, several decades from now they and their voters will die out obviously, and will be replaced by members of the more progressive current generation.

You're right here as well. The majority of Japanese people simply don't really care about it and also are clueless on the topic. The positive side is that there aren't any of the public stoning types like in Murrica, so homosexuals in Japan aren't really in a hurry to be protected by the law. The negative side is like what you said.
However there's that Shibuya ward same-sex union thing which is being followed by some other cities. That one is mostly fueled by the equal civil rights movement, so maybe the future of Japan's LGBT laws will come from there.
I wonder if yuri and yaoi would become less fantasized, more formulaic and realistic if LGBT stuff in Japan was to be more accepted socially.
I mean, it's like superhero comics. They wouldn't be so interesting were part of our normal life, right?
>>2343822
>yuri
>yaoi
>not formulaic
Anon, I...
>>2343822
You say it as if het stories weren't formulaic and unrealistic.
Romance will always be first about idealization. It doesn't matter if the subject is common or not. I would say little would change on the yaoi and yuri genre. Maybe a little less "but we're both girls", but still a lot of "but I'm a girl", since heterosexuality will always be the norm.And yaoi won't ever drop the rape either.
>>2343834
>romance
What about writing it on other varied genres like adventure or fantasy? And the romantic yuri is just there, but not as the focus.
>>2343822
Maybe one day down the line but not today when it's a heavily debated and emphasized topic. If you take a look at the West, they are producing quite the crappy content because the focus is on promoting the issues and not telling a good story that happens to contain the element. Once it becomes commonplace I can see it happening, but it might take a whole generation if not more.
>>2343836
>other varied genres like adventure or fantasy
Those are shit genres desu senpai
>>2343843
But at least Japan writes them in a less generic way than romance.
>>2343836
It's hard for fantasy stories in Japan to add explicit romance already. We know for a fact that FliFla is intended to be a Yuri show, as probably is Izetta. Symphogear is always pretty obvious. They're already close to what you meant.
Maybe, just maybe, with more acceptance, there would be some kiss scene thrown together. But again, even shows with het pairings avoid that, so who knows.
In the Yuri genre by itself, like, with yuri mangakas, there seems to be more of a lack of interest in other genres more than anything. I also remember how Morinaga said she wanted to write other genres, but she can't. Then we have that edgy BR manga on YH that was shit.
Talking about YH, they have some series now that completely avoid the "two girls" cliche, like Mimi Mix, for example.
What I mean is, there's a lot of reason for Yuri be what it is, and lack of visibility is just part of it. Even with gay marriage, most people won't have any interest in lesbian shows, so it's not likely that the genre will change. That'll only happens with a change in the artists mind and the fanbase tastes. And those aren't really related to gay marriage being legal or not
>>2343844
The ten gazillion isekai light novels say otherwise.
>>2343844
>But at least Japan writes them in a less generic way than romance
Yeah, that's why we get the same Isekai anime and LN with RPG elements every season.
>>2343796
It's got plenty of good female characters, but not a lot of yuri-ish stuff between them. I can remember like three moments that are even goggles-worthy, and one of them involves a villain who wants to kill a couple of the hero trainees and play in their blood.
>>2343796
Shounen Jump shows means that even if a female character is strong, she'll be irrelevant in the end, because it's all about the guys pissing fight.
Saw the first episode and looked mediocre, anyway
>>2343852
If you ignore harenshit, Japan does give some really good fantasy shows. This season my favorite is Alice to Zouroku, for example, and there's some other nice, too.
But people only watch Re Zero, SAO and other shit like it
>>2343867
>Alice to Zouroku
That turned out good? The character designs reminded me intensely of Alien 9 so I figured it was going to be one of those sad shows.
>>2343866
Are you really trying to say that a SAO clone can be unironically better than anything else?
>>2343875
Than most slice of life hetero romance.
>>2343874
It's pretty good so far. A mix between sci-fi and slice of life with complex characters and a focus on family life. Most characters do have a sad background, but the tone of the show in the present time isn't melancholic. It's more like then finding peace after the awful things they lived through.
>>2343876
So you're saying shit like SAO are better because they don't focus on the shit het romance at all? To me both kind of shows are worthless. And even if there's no romance, all girls fawning over Kirito for no reason is just as stupid.
>>2343876
No, just no. I don't like those melodramatic hetfests as well but that's just not true.
>>2343874
Sanae and Sanae are married and I refuse to think otherwise
>>2343875
As compared to the romance stuff that is popular on these sides, like Twilight, 50 Shades of Gray and Hunger Games ... something like this
But without irony is better than Kono Bujitsu, had never hated so much the romance Het until that moment
>>2343882
Do you know what is the worst thing about SAO? The games make Yuuki part of Kirito's harem
The only good thing about SAO was completely ruined
>>2343888
* Was Sanae and Sanae

Not to lose the post
What happened to those Spin-Off Yuri as Hidan No Aria AA?
Apparently Mayo Shiki & Accel World had one
>>2343876
Slice of life romance is uncommon these days though. It's been mostly taken over by harems. It even extends to non-romance works as most of them opt for a harem instead of one love interest. They're also generally good or bad, compared to harems which range from terrible to okay.
>>2343895
So, harems for the miserable otaku, CGDCT for the perma-goggled moeloids.
>>2343898
Debatable, you don't need goggles for some recent CGDCT.
>>2343895
>okay harem
Sounds like a self-contradicting statement.
And even the "romance" part is debatable, as the genre for the most part features a bunch of girls lusting after a dude and the dude going "wonder what she meant with that".
>>2343914
>That's a harem
My point is that there's no romance.
>>2343914
'Otaku-ness' is not defined by how niche ones interest is, that would be silly. Some of the biggest otaku franchises are Gundam and Eva and those are also some of the most popular franchises.
>>2343890
This season had Oratoria, spin off of Danmachi
Others can be Levi Ninden, spin off of Trinity Seven, with good ending
Adnoah Zero Twin Gemini, basically similar of plot the anime but with femal mc with happy ending too
Astral Budy, is another spin off of Raildex, we explicity yuri since begining
Asterisk and Konosuba also had one
>>2343926
Also Hina Logi, apparently.
Actually I'm surprised. I didn't know there were so many yuri spinoffs of het harems.
>>2343929
>Mysteriously are better than their originals
Then again, it's not a high bar to cross.
>>2343927
There's also Hidan no Aria. At least I think that was a harem. Either way the spin off, Hidan no Aria AA, was really fucking gay.
>>2343822
>I wonder if yuri and yaoi would become less fantasized, more formulaic and realistic
Who would want that?
There's also Marisa Garden, which is a spinoff of Accel World, last I heard it had some subtext, but I wouldn't trust that author (the SAO author) to deliver yuri, much less a well-written story.
Remember to be skeptical whenever BRfag shills some het harem spinoff with a FeMC
>>2343969
You're years late
Magisa Garden had explicity yuri since always
>>2343963
Collectors was pretty good imo. Being more realistic doesn't have to mean being tumblr.
>>2343973
>Marisa Garden is yuri
>post image that would not convince anyone it's yuri.
Typical BRfag
>>2343973
Also in case you didn't understand, "maternal handbook" is about how to make them better mothers.
I don't know the context is for that, but it's probably the absolute worst page to use if you wanted to sell this as yuri.
>>2343982

>LGBT stuff in Japan was to be more accepted socially.
I hope they get more accepted, but not like the West. West focuses too much on transexuals and throws lesbians and gays under the bus.We are getting called genital fetishists (!) and transphobes for not liking dick, fuck my life. And a lot of tomboys/feminine boys are being forced to transition because we went back 100 years and girls aren't allowed to like sports/cars/whatever anymore, you must be a boy to like it
>>2343866
Het romance can be resumed to "He was a boy, she was a girl; Can I make it any more obvious?"
