I’m just not a fan of this type of anime. Maybe if they went a dark route then yea, but happyish all-girl anime aren’t my thing. That doesn’t mean they’re crap, but they are boring imo

nah they actually do go down a really dark route in terms of plot and stakes it wasent as simple as the coffee shop will go out of business that's what made this show so good and it also wasn't over the top like the world will be destroyed

It would’ve been interesting if they allowed Majima to win.

Whether it’s yuri or not, all-female anime (which this may not be) are the least interesting series IMO. People hate on isekai because of how many there are, but there are also many all-girl series every season yet no one complains.

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.


Isn't you did the same with the yuri fans? You call every yuri fan like same.

Also there is different between normal isekai and a shitty isekai that combinated with Harem and ecchi.

SOL usually not have plot. True. But that's the whole point of that genre.

A good Isekai actually has a plot not just fanservice. But most of those shitty isekai harem ecchi don't even have a real plot.They just get a alibi story and all they do is sexualized woman characters to sell those anime to all the basement living Otaku. Those type of anime just simply disgusting.


Only and all are synonyms? Nice try. And then you seem to be deliberately confirming my words, arrogantly attacking genres that you do not like, not paying attention to the fact that the same claims can be made to your favorite genres.

Oh, sure. The CGDCT never sexualizes or objectifies women. And none of them are created for the otaku living in parental basements, yes. I'll even say more, not a single CGDCT show has a fanservice, so they always sell very poorly. Also, the Japanese call CGDCT "Girl's zoo" just because they love cute animals, it's so cute.

P.S. Seriously dude, trying to justify plotless all-female shows by saying they don't have a plot because "no plot" is the essence of the genre is ingenious.

Not really. i like SOL even if it not Yuri at all. But isekai is right now the most overused genres and rare 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.

Trying to attack other genres in response to the claim that there are a lot of all-female in these years, you yourself pander to negative stereotypes about yuri fans.

Ah. Two cute girls.

I wonder what the story is about? Yuri? SoL?

Or maybe both?

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.

I get that, but you could easily leave them to their own disappointment and just ignore them. You may think they're annoying, but is arguing over it in the comments of an announcement any less annoying?


This annoys me as well. But I'm too tired of the intrusive "oh, these two female characters in one shot, they are lesbians! 11" that I just can't react to it calmly.

Nothing says MAL like the comments of an anime announcement being flooded with arguments about whether it's yuri or not. You're all too damn defensive on both sides of the argument.
