This show made me feel really uncomfortable at worst, and maybe got a chuckle at best.
The main problem with YuruYuri is that the characters are 13 years old, yet are depicted in suggestive/outright sexual contexts. This combined with incest and forced kissing are just not the right mix for what should probably be a wholesome SOL anime. There's a few episodes which really did nothing except make me feel gross, and I nearly dropped the show twice.
The show actually has a few funny moments, and an alright set of characters. I only had real issue with Chinatsu, a self-imposing prick who does nothing but subtract
...
from the anime. The best episodes were the few without her.
There's also this running gag where Akari has "little presence" but this gets old quick and feels more like cheap bullying for laughs.
In short (toward the beginning) this show is essentially a softcore lolicon Yuri fan-service compilation with some storyline to keep it going. It picks up a little but gains no real depth, and feels like it's written to be enjoyed by probably the worst guy you'll ever meet. Incels unite!!
Watch it if you want but it's not a big recommendation from me (and I normally love any SOL show), I've heard okay things about season 2 so might watch that, although I heard those same things about this season, and it's clear how that turned out.
