Just like our Yuri Anime 2013, Yuri Anime 2014, Yuri Anime 2015, Yuri Anime 2016, Yuri Anime 2017, and Yuri Anime 2018 lists, this one will also feature all the yuri-ish anime that will air in 2019. Since it’s not even 2019 yet, this list is still in progress and will be updated whenever there are new shows to add. If you feel like we missed something, feel free to name your additions~
It should be noted that, like every year, there were some shows that ultimately didn’t make it into this year. Anyway, just click on the one of the seasons to jump to that part of the post. 😛

Bocchi Hitori knows this struggle all too well, having just graduated from elementary school and thrown into middle school. Unfortunately, she suffers from extreme social anxiety: she faints when overwhelmed, vomits when nervous, and draws up ridiculously convoluted plans to avoid social contact. It does not help that her only friend from elementary school, Kai Yawara, will not be attending the same middle school as Bocchi. However, wanting to help her, Kai severs ties with Bocchi and promises to reconcile with her when she befriends all of her classmates in her new middle school class.
Even though Bocchi has no faith in herself, she is determined to be friends with Kai again. Summoning all of her courage, Bocchi takes on the daunting challenge of making friends with her entire class, starting with the delinquent-looking girl sitting in front of her…

While Shion, Asuka, and Mutsu are frightened and desperate, Homare seems strangely calm. Fortunately for the group, this isn’t the first time she’s been stranded! Homare spent her childhood training with her survivalist father all over the world, climbing cliffs, trapping prey, building shelters, and obtaining valuable nutrition from moose testicles. To Homare, surviving on an uninhabited island with a slim chance of rescue is child’s play. The only problem is the other three.
As Homare shamelessly guides her classmates through the finer points of survival, including drinking fish blood and eating cicadas, the girls start to realize that being stranded might not be as bad as they had imagined.

It’s going to be a long time before we get another year of Yuri like 2018

Don’t start out the year so negatively 😛
Though, to be honest, I think you’re right. It will be hard to top what we got last year. On the other hand though, a second season for both Citrus and Bloom Into You is possible.
Same actually goes for another OVA of Kase-san.

I personally think citrus and bloom into you will not have a season 2 but most likely a OVA with 5-7 episodes each. Just my opinion. Don’t get me wrong I keep wishing for them to have a season 2 each.

Sakura Trick, Asagao to Kase-san., Strawberry Panic, Kashimashi, and Sasameki Koto are pretty similar. They’re heavy on romance and drama (except Sakura Trick. Very little drama in that).
Nice avatar BTW. I like Fany a lot~

You have a slight typo. The title is Fragtime..not Flagtime.
It’s definitely a 10/10 as far as being yuri and the main pair becoming a couple. Unfortunately allot of great scenes from the manga were cut, but the overall message is still there. I’d give the completed OVA a B to B+, but there’s only so much you can accomplish within an hour.
Anyway, as of 2020, you can now access the English Sub version. I hope everyone enjoys it.

I’d give Kakegurui Season 2 a 3/10 for yuri.
The President and her secretary do confess their interest/ love in one another. However, as this anime primarily focuses on the lust like excitement that is experienced when gambling, one could argue the president’s interest in her secretary are merely mirroring the same pleasure she derives in experiencing any unknown.
Season 2, definitely kicks off with a basic surprise twist that drives the plot of the season. It’s definitely darker than season 1 one, which illuminated individual dark desire pursued through methods of gambling. Though many of the topics in season 2 are only discussed (not necessarily shown), the gambling in this season shines a light on corruptions like :power, control, torture, attempted murder, politics, and human trafficking. The gambling tricks are also more basic this season, so if you have a mind that enjoys puzzles, you won’t find the secrets as challenging to solve (hint: don’t overthink anything, 1/2 the tricks can be accomplished via basic manipulation.)
