Shuumatsu no Izetta

These anime feature witches; magic users who often possess classic traits such as pointed hats, flying brooms, and black cat familiars. Some are protagonists looking to improve their craft, have adventures, or save the world; others might be tricksters or outright villains who cause suffering and misfortune for others. Young witches might study magic by serving an apprenticeship or attending a magic school. Basically, if you want anime with witches, this is the list for you.

Fictional European countries and Anime that don't specify being set in Europe but take heavy inspiration in environment and setting.

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.
