Excited for the anime because Anzai san is in a prominent role. She currently has one of the best voice in the industry IMO.

This is at least yuri bait, hopefully it's the real deal because yuri would benefit from anime originals.

Will the script be written by Ben-To author? The dude who is known for one of the funniest shonens parodies?

You have literally described the very essence of short teasers. But I will bet that it will be something about the skill to increase growth.

At the moment, it looks like a mix between a Ghibli movie and a collaboration of defunct Kirara's titles.

I love how even far from the dumbest people on this site conclude that something will be yuri bait just because of the two female leads to the show. Remembering Ben-To, a possible yuri subplot is somehow possible, but everything we have at the moment is not at all like his typical yuri content and one of the girls calls the other aibo, that is, "fellow".

Anyway, I am interested in the career of the Shion-san (before that, she used to voice edgy or energetic female leads), it will be interesting to someone she will voice this time.

It has a good chance of being all-female or even yuri, but I doubt it will be CGDCT. The last time such original anime was created in the early 10's.

Well, if you look at the last of these three or four times, then once people were right (Vlad), twice everything remained completely pure (Aquatope and C&T) and once the yuri speculations were completely drowned (Wonder Egg).

Well, to be honest, I didn't watch the show itself, but judging by the reviews it was a pretty typical school romcom with unambiguous jokes about romantic interest between girls.

Well, if you pay attention, the girls' school uniforms look like some kind of fictional uniform and the city against their background is quite futuristic, so in the worst case it may just be a one-off school fiction.

Yuri doesn‘t sell, so it’s more likely that there will be some fanservice-y yuribait scenes and that‘s it. Think about it, even on a show like Fate/Kaleid, where the girls are literally french kissing each other, the relationship is left ambiguous.

Nevertheless this show is worth checking out for Shingo Adachi‘s directional debut. With his involvement you can expect some good animation for sure. I hope it’s more than that and not another dud like Wonder Egg, but with how disappointing original anime tend to be, I am not so optimistic.

Welcome to the current year, where "those people" normalised the notion that two characters of the same gender having any sort of interaction instantly make them gay and you are homophobic, if you think otherwise. On Twitter you would be literally doxxed for that.

It's not that I don't know what you mean, but rather that you don't want to see the problem in this situation. You hate people because they want yuri anime and you ask them to look for yuri anime as a solution which was exactly what they are doing. However, the problem is that there is barely any yuri anime to look for so this ain't going to get solved by itself just because you asked them to look for them.

so what's the problem? that's a really limited point of view you have.

i take back what i said earlier, i don't hate anybody and i never said i hate people that want yuri anime, i hate the fact that people automatically assume an anime is yuri because of the visual.

and like i said before, i didn't ask anybody anything.


lol okay then if you say so.

My favorite is when they say they are starving and yuri anime came out quite rarely, after which they start calling heroines of any all-female show without obvious romance as lesbians. I saw a dude on ANN literally put this together in one comment, lol.

It’s quite ironic for me to hear something about hate from people who whine about every all-female show with male characters and often literally hate male love interests on shows that they would like to see as yuri. I don't remember anything like this during the announcement of the yuri show.

Also, you forgot about the constant attacks on straight relationships and ships due to the persistent salinity. For example, constant complaints that Ochako interacts with Deku less than his male friends (as if romance is measured in screen time) or that a relationship with a male character allegedly ruins her development as a strong female.

What I'm talking about is that at least a third of this annoyance is due to the intrusiveness and toxicity of a portion of the yuri community. I can still remember a couple of months ago some yuri fanboys literally complained about the adaptation of shoujo straight romance.

Say thank you to the people who brought it up so often that "is this yuri? / Is this BL?" has become a local meme among manga translators. Now it has moved into the anime community and nowadays you can't even put two female characters next to each other on a poster without asking about their sexuality.

Hell, I literally just read that a character might be gay because they care about their best friend who is in trouble.

Not really. i like SOL even if it not Yuri at all. But isekai is right now the most overused genres and rarely have any actually good one (Like Honzuki). Most of the Isekai is shitty harem ecchi with generic overpowered MC. All it's the same shit.

I wellcome any type of Mecha, Shoujo ,Mahou shoujo,Drama, seinen, comedy or sport regardless it's yuri or not. if it's yuri than it's just + fun.

But i hate all the poitless fanservice only ecchi harem series.

Of course, SoL and CGDCT are not overused genres. And there's always a lot of plot in them, yeah. And of course, CGDCT with their characteristic four-five girls of the same archetypes with a shoujo stock MC at the head is not at all the same shit as the "isekai harem series". And it's not about personal tastes, because that's not why you called the "rare normal" isekai the one that most closely resembles SoL.

That's the problem, dude. Only yuri fans have this characteristic hypocritical habit of attacking other popular genres for "overuse" and "lack of plot" without ever realizing that their adored genres and series are the same.
