Since I more or less dropped almost all shows that I had planned on watching—or started watching—this season (feel free to openly judge me for that), I had high hopes for the upcoming summer season, and I’m actually pretty sure this one won’t disappoint.
So disregarding the fact that we will also do our seasonal “First Impressions” post once the new season has started, this one will cover the yuri-ish shows that we might want to get hyped about, even before getting a first taste of the shows listed.
I’ll only name full yuri shows or those that might have some yuri content involved, and for those, I will add a category called “Potential Yuri”, which I will then grade as either High, Medium, or Yuri Goggles Material. Please note that this will only cover my personal expectations, so it might as well turn out very differently once the season has finally started.
Title: New Game!
Plot: The main character, Suzukaze Aoba, graduates from high school and joins a game company. The person who made the game that Aoba loved as a grade-schooler just happens to be Aoba’s senior at the company. The story follows girls who work and aspire at the Eaglejump company.
Potential Yuri: Medium – Knowing the Manga this one is based on, we might get some Yuri-ish scenes at least.
Title: Love Live! Sunshine!!
Plot: Uranohoshi Girls’ High School, a private school in the seaside neighborhood of Uchiura at Numazu city, Shizuoka prefecture. A small high school in a corner of Suruga Bay, it is home to nine teens, led by second-year student Chika Takami, driven by one seriously big dream: To become the next generation of bright, sparkling “school idols”!
Potential Yuri: Yuri Goggles/Medium – Just like the previous seasons, this one might come with a lot of possible shipping material.
Title: Amanchu!
Plot: Hikari Kohinata is a cheerful 15-year-old girl who lives near the ocean and she spends much of her time diving as a result. On her first day of high school, she meets a teacher who also likes scuba diving. There’s also a 16-year-old classmate, Futaba, who gets dragged along in Hikari’s maelstrom as soon as they meet at school. Most of the manga so far details the relationship between the two girls, which quickly seems to move into romantic two girl friendship-territory.
Potential Yuri: Medium – Just read the description and you already know that we will get some nice scenes between the two protagonists~
Title: Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya 3rei!!
Plot: Fourth season of the Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya series.
Potential Yuri: Medium/High – Knowing the previous seasons, this one as well might strike with some yuri kisses and other yuri-ish scenes.
Title: Regalia: The Three Sacred Stars
Plot: Sisters Yui and Rena live a peaceful life in the kingdom of Enastoria, but they become involved in a vortex of destiny when a giant robot attacks Enastoria.
Potential Yuri: Yuri Goggles Needed/Medium – The description makes it sound a little like Kannazuki no Miko, doesn’t it? Well, even though it surely won’t have that much yuri, I think we can still get our hopes up for quite a bit of subtext, at the very least.
Title: Mahou Shoujo? Naria☆Girls
Plot: Urara, Hanabi, and Inaho are three girls who aim to become nationally-renowned characters by creating animation of themselves! They chose the magical girl theme to catch the attention of everyone from children to adults! Can they safely become popular characters in a one-cours magical girl anime?
Potential Yuri:Title: Yuri Goggles Needed – It’s a Magical Girl Anime, of course there will be some subtext.
Title: Non Non Biyori Repeat OVA
Plot: With just five students (none in the same grade ), the four girls of the tiny Asahioka Branch School still enjoy watching cherry blossoms, playing in rivers, digging potatoes, and building igloos together. The pace is very slow, yet enjoyable and heartwarming.
Potential Yuri: Yuri Goggles Needed/Medium
YuriReviews and More 
The ones on here that I’m looking forward to are Amanchu! and New Game!, but I’ll probably have to watch Regalia and Love Live!, just for the potential yuri content~
Mahou Shoujo? Naria☆Girls is likely to be super terrible (since it’s going to be CG), but at least the tech behind it is interesting.
But all that doesn’t change the fact that Orange is the one that I REALLY want to watch next season, and the one that I’ll be constantly bothering you to watch, too. Just a warning…. 😛

Am looking forward to Orange too. If they don’t mess up the pacing this should be a slam dunk. Ugh, such a sucker for the romances…

I feel ya, I skipped out this season mostly too. I did like High School Fleet, it definitely had a Girls Und Panzer vibe to it. For the heck of it I am binging Kiznaiver this weekend, and there is a bit of yuri in it, unrequited yuri, but yeah, a bit…

I watched about 4 episodes of Haifuri, because I knew it would have some yuri and I also love Kancolle, so why not?
Though, it was somehow a little boring….

Yeah I hear ya, I think for me I just couldn’t stop staring at their foreheads. They’re huuuge!
I have the same problem with Flying Witch. I enjoyed the manga and am 5 episodes in to the anime, but I seem to have zero momentum for it. It’s just not keeping my attention.

While I am looking forward to Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya 3rei!! for the yuri kisses we will have the show i am most looking forward to is New Game! I love the manga a lot, the girls are cute and full of personality and the yuri in the series grows with each chapter. i have high hopes that the anime will be just as fun as the manga and hopefully they keep whatever yuri that is there intact! 😀

I suppose I have Fate Prisma as the safe choice. But Regalia piques my interest. OGman made an interesting post likening Regalia to Cross Ange, and you guys compare it to Kannazuki. Legit comparisons, but that’s two good blogs just setting it up for hype which is just dying to die…
*dammit*, deal me in.

Well, for me it was simply the description that made it sound like Kannazuki a little. Don’t expect something similarly glorious though, I don’t want to be the reason why people have too high expectations and thus end up hating the show 😀

Honestly, I’m a kind of disappointed because all the titles promise a lot of…subtext :(…I think only Amanchu seems like a good potential yuri but i prefer not to have great expectations…anyway, all these series present a good design and plot, so I will watch them and enjoy them!.

Well, that is unfortunately true, though the amount of subtext shows is quite high this time and it makes the wait for a real yuri show a little more bearable 😛

“Ange Vierge” might also have some possible yuri in it.
There’s no dudes in it and it has some small subtext at least, but we’ll see.
