I’m in need of help deciding which anime to review next. Actually, it’s not “next” because I already have other reviews written, but after those. All of the shows are yuri-ish to some degree and have yet to be reviewed on YR. If the poll is lacking a choice, or if you think one of the choices isn’t yuri enough, feel free to make it known in the comments. Unlucky winner is next in line.
[UPDATE – 4.1] Shinsekai yori gets the win. The most complex show and I have to do it right off the bat. Great. 😀
[UPDATE – 4.12] Shinsekai yori is written, and Simoun has next.
[UPDATE – 5.8] Simoun is written (finally), and K-On! is next.
[UPDATE – 5.18] K-On! is written, and Maria†Holic is next.
[UPDATE – 6.28] Maria†Holic is written, and Mai-HiME is next.
[UPDATE – 8.6] Mai-HiME is written, and Selector Infected WIXOSS is next.
The poll will remain open and the process just repeats~
Simoun is the best of the list. Though I dont think you would like it. It's a war drama first, before a Yuri (an excellent war drama, but a war drama nonetheless. Gets deep into the philosophy of war, and LOL, i would compare it loosely to Gundam in that sense.)

I totally voted Maria Holic because I wanna read somebody rip it to shreds. Cause it sucks.
Would have voted Koufuku Grafiti if it was on here, though.

*closes poll* If you want it, I'm doing Shinsekai yori then. 😛
As much as I'd like to just do Shinsekai yori regardless, YR is a democracy, so the people shall decide. 🙂
Yesterday, I mistakenly thought the poll didn't get any votes, so I randomly voted for K-On!. I now regret that choice.

Well, I'm a straight guy so my opinion probably doesn't even matter but I think it's pretty majorly offensive. I'm a huge Shaft fanboy but I always cry a little when I think about Maria Holic.
Shinsekai Yori is another series I plan to stay the hell away from, but reading other's opinion is still interesting so I'd be fine with whatever series, really.
Nice, looking forward to that, I was going to start watching today. 🙂

I usually don't take anything anime-related seriously enough to be offended, but all the negativity around it has only served to get me more interested. 😀

If Saki wins, I'll probably have to do the other 2 seasons too, so I'm kinda hoping it doesn't win. 😛

That wouldn't go over well at all. I'd end up giving SonoHana a 5 or something and the torches & pitchforks would be out in full force. I'll stick with anime.

Working‼ is not yuri even though it has lesbian side couple. About K-On! it is the most wonderful school life genre as well as yuri, so I strongly recommend it to you.
I kinda sorry for YrYr, but it is not actually good enough than K-On! so it will be my second recommend.

Some shows on there don't have all that much yuri (and they probably don't have many, if any, votes), but all it takes is just a little to be mentioned.

Some of these options, as much as I enjoyed them. weren't very “yuri” to me 😛
Out of the ones that might be worth it, I'd say Simoun, Devilman Lady, Yuru Yuri, Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito, Ice (terrible though), Mai Hime, and maybe Shinsekai Yori.
Out of those, I really enjoyed Mai Hime and thus would recommend it first and fordmost, though its yuri potential is still lacking in comparison to others.

Even having a lesbian main/supporting character could be enough to get a show on there. Cut me a break, Sumi. My yuri-ish anime poll standards are low. 😛
I haven't seen Kämpfer yet, but Lena already wrote a review for it, so it doesn't really make much sense for me to write one too.
The List of all reviews post is regularly updated so people could have a better idea of what's already on the blog. It has links to more than just the reviews, so it's really good since most people haven't known about the blog since the beginning. It's the “YR Archive” link up on the menu bar. 🙂

I'll start studying up on Shinsekai yori then, since that's the new favorite to win.
