Yuki Yuna and Citrus ❤ Otherwise this upcoming year is looking like it's gonna let me catch up on a lot of older shows. That being said, I hope to be pleasantly surprised by more shows like the pretty-much-canonical lesbian lead of Flip Flappers and the pairing of Finzetta.

Guilty of being a fan of symphogear. I just hope this season will have a better story than the last one. And not so hyped for Nanoha’s movie, ’cause AFAIK N. and F. will be arund 10yo, so no romance in sight. Well, at least we can hope for something more nanoha-ish than vivid and strike 😉

Maybe someday my pleas will be answered and there will be a super chill Yuri SoL anime that doesn’t involve drama (okay, it can be light), magic, horses, ships, and things few and far between. The couple will not be tsundere in any way, and it’ll make me happy.

Citrus sure is something. I’m currently watching High school strikers now. from 2016 I would say the last witch Izetta and Regalia: 3 sacred starts were really good and I loved them hope for another season. Apart from that Ange vierge and flipflap were good yuri animes. Not much but was ok. But 2014/2015 was kinda one of the good years for yuri with animes like Sakura trick, Yuri kuma arashi and Akuma no riddle.

Well, it is not a yuri show (I’m 100% certain it will end the hetero way with Mugi and Hanabi) buuuuuut the yuri is there – even though it’s a bit creepy (talking about the latest episode)
Will be added with the two other yuri shows of the season, though the yuri rating will follow when the show is over.

Urara Meirochou sure do have a lot of yuri potential and is very enjoyable to watch. I’ll give it a yuri rating 7/10 since there aren’t exact yuri couples among main characters but do have lots of fan service and minor yuri couple roles. It sure is fun. I recommend it till Citrus comes out
LikeLike
Yeah that one is super nice – it will be added alongside Kuzu no Honkai and Kobayashi-san Maid Dragon~

Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon- dor me it’s 8 rating, kanna-chan is so cute thoug!!!!!

Kuzu no Honkai might drop quite a bit depending on how Hanabi takes it all. Though, the yuri side character score is pretty high, go Ecchan!
LikeLike
thats a pretty high rating for a non-yuri anime. I believe Urara deserves more rating than this one. since it really has yuri. For Kuzo no Honkai i think 5.5 or 6 will do. But yeah Chi no Maid Dragon is cool though I hate that weird dragon tail xD

I’m still trying to figure out what is considered Yuri. This world is new to me and I have been binge watching these shows but some of the recommendations are just cute stories with co-dependent girls. Not romantic at all. On another note, For instance I am watching Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid dragon and Urara Meirochou and I really enjoy both especially Kobayashi. But would you consider them yuri anime or is it too soon to tell?
LikeLike
Nah, I actually wouldn’t. They are yuri-ish, as in they have yuri moments, but the focus isn’t set on romance or love in general. In Kobayashi it’s there to entertain and for comedic reasons and in Urara it’s there to have some ecchi and cute moments.
Though, in case of Kobayashi I have my hopes up that it will move in a more serious direction. Let’s see~
What you should probably wait for is the Citrus and the Netsuzou Trap anime.
LikeLike
Thanks! It seems like everyone is waiting on Citrus so I imagine it’s a great story. One of my top favs so far is Strawberry Panic. Shizuma is everything lol.

What makes Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon “yuri is the romantic love and devotion that Tohru has for Kobayashi-san, and I won’t forget to mention one of the most forward relationships that I’ve seen, between Kanna (love her) and Riko.

I wouldn’t say Kuzu no Honkai is bad. I think is just not for everyone. (What I like a lot is the way the human mind is portrayed, and the art is delicious -the good). I would describe it as intense, uncomfortable, melancholic, and deeply thought-provoking -the bad. It shows the dark side of human relationships, in a very realistic way.Yuri is not the main topic, but it has a strong female-gay character.
LikeLike
It is very interesting to say the least.
I find it weird that in some cases I can even understand why they’d act like “scum” and it sometimes simply surprises me and other times I’m just a little disgusted with myself. It might sound bad, but it’s actually quite intriguing.
LikeLiked by 1 person
Human nature is “quite intriguing” indeed, that’s what I like about Kuzu no Honkai. We all have “the good” and “the bad”, no one is completely one or the other. For me, the world is in all shades of grey.
