This stack is to keep track of all upcoming yuri series for 2025 and beyond.

The yuri anime genre unfortunately has a reputation for creating relationships between female characters that are incredibly ambiguous. This is a list of anime in which the romantic/sexual relationship between the two girls is very clear (and not one-sided). The girls in question should be major characters and their relationship should be one of if not the biggest driving point(s) of the show. No hentai titles, as adding even one would get the whole list marked nsfw. Some representation on this list is better than others, and I have provided an opinion under each title.

I would like to continue growing this list, so if I am missing one that you think fits the above criteria, please message me! Thank you.

And no, Gushing over Magical girls is not on here. I do not feel comfortable recommending it to anyone.

There will be a part 2 to this once the total goes above 50.

Explicitly Cannon Couples and Hard Subtext Shows. Subtext shows listed here have substantial content and not just a little bit of teasing here and there. Subtext can also be an unspoken focal point of the series. These are shows I can actually recommend and like enough to suggest checking out.

-some popular shows in here simply worth mentioning because it would be criminal not to mention them.

This stack is dedicated to Class S, a famous phenomenon in Japanese youth girl culture of the early 20th century and the literary genre it inspired. Cultivating caused by situational homosexuality and the closed, same-sex nature of education at that time, passionate homoerotic friendships between young girls in all-girls' schools and universities of the 1920s, Class S has had a huge influence on the formation of traditions of both friendship and lesbian media in Japanese culture in the 20th and then 21st centuries.

In particular, many of the tropes, trends, and mythology of Class directly inspired and became the prototype for the yuri genre, thanks to the huge popularity of the Class S "Maria-sama ga Miteru" LN series and its anime adaptation in the 00s. Because of this, the original "homoerotic passionate female friendship" nature of Class S has been somewhat diluted, and now literal or Class S-inspired shows can be completely platonic or ambiguously homoerotic, or even outright lesbian romance. Much depends on the premise and the intentions of the authors in each individual work. So, you can get both a de facto MariMite in a modern setting like Hibike! Euphonium, and a full-fledged romance emulating the Class S aesthetic like Strawberry Panic. Or even a yuri show directly parodying this concept like Watashi no Yuri wa Oshigoto desu.

Although Class has not existed in its classic form for many years, it continues to inspire Japanese girls' media both directly and through various influences.
