> All 'Monster Girls' display physical characteristics which separate them from normal humans.
> There are no one-off episodes are included.
> No demons, vampires or angels, because of the sheer quantity of them.

Make sure to check for extra episodes, seasons, or movies!

Anime adaptations of various gacha games, that is, basically mobile games of various genres (mostly musical or associated with moe anthropomorphism), where you play to earn points that can be spent on getting limited attractive characters (or cards with them) in a virtual analogue of a vending machine. Popularly, these anime are also often referred to as waifu or hasubendo bait shows due to the large number of attractive characters that the adaptation advertises to entice you to download the game.

A curated list of anime I think every Yuri and GL fan should watch at some point.

Detailed descriptions for each anime coming soon.

GL and hidden GL animes here only ^^ These are definitely worth to watch (♥ω♥*)

A curated list of series and shorts that span no more than 15 minutes, but satisfies your entertainment all the same. Arranged in color-coordinated rows because nothing makes lists look more appealing than a uniform order, trust me.

“Part of they yuri?” indicates whether or not the character is either in a yuri relationship or has a yuri-related crush, infatuation, and/or sexual attraction.

Yuri with episodes that are shorter than standard anime length (standard anime have 22-25 minute episodes).

In general, anime with short episodes are a bit controversial. Since it is hard to tell a story in such a short amount of time, many people don’t like them.

Still… there is a market. Some comedies will benefit from having short episodes (because jokes can grow stale if dragged on for too long). There is also wanting to just shut off one’s brain and watch something that won’t take a lot of time.

Update:
-- added Yuuki Bakuhatsu Bang Bravern (Brave Bang Bravern!)
-- added Cygames page on MAL

I just realized there is a connection between several anime I enjoyed: Zombie Land Saga, Granblue Fantasy, and Princess Connect!: Re: Dive. They are all from Cygames. I usually don't pay much attention to the studios and producers behind the anime I like, but in this case, I thought the stories were entertaining and the animation was a cut above. The fights in Princess Connect were especially well done. And I really enjoyed the music in Zombie Land. I've heard good things about Akiba Maid War but I'm afraid I can't vouch for the rest.

This stack contains all Cygames animations listed on the Cygames web site as of Winter 2024.

I just discovered the Cygames page on MAL. There are a lot more shows listed there than on the Cygames website. I'll only update this stack if I have something meaningful to contribute.

After going through most of the tagged GL anime on MAL on top of some extras, here’s a pretty big list of the currently existing yuri/shoujo ai anime out there as well as some featured lesbian couples. Some of the anime are way better than others (you’ve been warned)

yes yes yes yes!!!! i love lesbians and bisexual queens!!!!

not all the shows listed are explicitly about romance - or even about the wlw couple - they just have one in the show (or have heavily implied one since it used to be real hard to get a lesbian couple on screen).

inclusion in the list has nothing to do with perceived quality (i'll probably add some quick reviews in with some potential triggers, etc), but just the presence of girls (romantic) love.

This is a list of series where they tease you all along, characters are shown to have Yuri tendencies or strong subtext, however it's all just simple bait.

If you watch these series for the Yuri, you will be disappointed.

Do yourself a favor, and go read something nice on Dynasty, Yuri in Anime it's cursed.
