About the person claiming that CR translated it wrong:

You can question if Lily was written as trans or a crossdresser. But you can't deny she was born as a boy. This was RT by the official account:
https://twitter.com/ShugoAbc/status/1065634430541156353
It says she's a "male". A "chara male", which seems to be a slang to her kind of character.
I think we need to consider the culture of the place where the twitter was written here. I do believe she was written as a trans, but most people in Japan probably don't get it.

Anyway, Lily being trans is up to debate. Lily being born as a boy is fact.

And again, just to show how that was obvious in japanese, too:
https://twitter.com/VankyVank/status/1065660258205360129
"She was a boy?"
"No, she is an "otokonoko"".
It actually makes more sense in Japanese, but okay.

I dunno, it should be "out" today, however the last issue is the chapter 10 and there's a new planned update for 12/10, and on Akiyama-sensei's twitter there's only a mourning "以前友人が！描いてくれました！ありがたい！"

My Japanese it's not perfect, but sounds like a mourning, right? She wanted to draw, but can't?

Here's what I think, it's cancelled but the website will keep claiming there will an update every month, that is, an system error

No. Those were drawn by friends or whatever. She's just thanking them for the fanarts.

Manaria friends (bahamut) will be a series of shorts and not a full fledged anime :( https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2018-10-25/manaria-friends-tv-anime-shorts-reveal-3-more-character-designs/.138614

can we get at least 10 or 8 minutes? and not just 3 minutes including OP and ED?

It was always supposed to be short, even years ago.
I would guess 10 minutes.
It's not a long story, so that makes sense. Even with 10 minutes by episode, they'll need to add lots of fillers.
Hope it's gay fillers.

This better be the 2nd Oneeloli anime of Winter 2019.

She's blushing to a guy in the PV, so...

Zombieland Saga blew my expectations, that shit was lit!! it might actually change the future of idol anime.
I also already ship the girls. i hope it catches the attention of yuri authors .

It's amazing. I didn't expect anything from it, but it's one of my favorites already.

trucest anime??

2 incest(blood related) anime on the same day, so where is my yuri incest anime?

wut the other one?

Is it just me or is there some sort of real fad in Japan right now for incest stories? I'm by no means prude and believe people are free to be into what ever gets them off, but it seems like such a bizarrely niche fetish to have such a huge pop culture impact. It would be a bit like if all of a sudden there were two or three anime a season about necrophilia or bestiality.

Anime is niche.
These incest anime never break out of their otaku bubble.
In fact, because it is niche, some studios try to get that public that's not being targeted enough yet. Two shows with incest in the same season would probably make only one of them sell (if any), but since only one is the main point, it makes sense.
Like with lolicon, which isn't well received in Japanese culture. And yet lolicon content sells.

こちら単行本未収録分になります〜
From here, it'll turn into content not yet released on a tank.

The author is pretty vague about it, so who knows. Looks like it's still going on, but we'll know next month.
The japanese comments are also "Heh? Is this back?"

Maybe the author couldn't keep with the magazine schedule and they allowed the series to keep being released on web only.

Edit: Adding to it, the author has some comments after this post thanking fans for supporting and saying "I'll keep working hard from here on".

Well, I really doubt it's trying to mock the genre and I didn't see anything like that in the first episode, but who knows how it'll go.
Just remember they're idols trying to help a city. There's lots of projects like this in Japan, some trying to help cities that were struck by natural disasters. And I doubt the show would mock people who are trying to help others. That doesn't fly well in Japan.

Just watched Zombieland. That was one BRUTAL DISS of the Death Metal scene! I'm guessing the creators of the anime have a very poor opinion of the genre.

Death Metal fans are depicted as a bunch of cretins who can't tell a musical performance by a real band from the random antics of a group of mindless zombies -- and by random antics I mean grotesque screaming, spastic shaking, vandalizing the venue and biting the audience. They loved it! In fact, everyone thought it was, like, best concert ever.

That was some vicious disrespect...

(Not that I'm complaining, mind you. Actually, I give the authors two thumbs up for a job well done. They sure understand Death Metal. ^_~ )

I'm pretty sure the entire point of this show is to parody and mock the entire idol and pop culture scene. The running joke and social commentary for this show is basically the music and idol industry is such a vapid wasteland of manufactured pseudo "talent" that even a bunch of mindless corpses can entertain these drooling imbeciles. I don't know if they are going to stick to the death metal scene, but I get a feeling they are going to end up targeting other genres as well. I guess only time will tell.

Cygames is producing the show. They're one of the companies actually making profit with the idol genre since they develop the im@s game. I strongly doubt there's any intended social commentary. It's a comedy, that's all. Seeing anything else is reading too much into it.

Also, apparently from episode 2 towards they'll be proper idols, singing and dancing.

It's not uncommon for animes to be picked up after it was released. While I wouldn't be surprised if some streams would avoid getting it, CR already said they try to localize everything. And they already brought worse things before.

Anyway, Zombieland Saga is pretty fun. Comedic timing is great and the guy is hilarious so far.

Another pretty fun and cool show is Double Decker. Also has some lesbians kissing in the ending:

By the way, the two one shots this author made after this are way more fucked up.

Het is more popular with porn. Yuri is more popular with sfw stories.
But if there's an artist wanting to make a ero-yuri story, it'll go on Comic ExE instead of Girls x Garden.
Although there's a slice of life story not porn, neither yuri on Comic ExE called Otohime Diver. They're a "whatever we want go there" magazine.

Only Yuri Hime survived. Probably thanks to maga popular Yuru Yuri.

There is also a new independent yuri magazine Galette. Launched last year.

I doubt Yuru Yuri is the only reason. In fact, Yuru Yuri entered in an undefined hiatus.
Yuri Hime is pretty popular nowadays, more than it ever was. They're trying to appeal to all kinds of yuri. Comedy, romance, fantasy, drama, action, etc.

Correction: survived at the time when Tsubomi and Hirari went down, so it was a few years ago. Of course it's only my speculation, but:
1: based only on rankings, number of copies sold, number of followers on Namori's twitter, Three seasons of tv anime, two OVAs and the third in the making. Nothing in Yuri Hime to this day could ever get close to that. Even Citrus is faaaaaaaar behind it.
2: Also, Yuri Hime since 2015 (the first japanese manga magazine in chinese) is aviable in chinese, which is a huge boost for them.
3: Oh, I almost forget about the former editor of Yuri Hime. As much as I hated that guy, his stubbornness and influence on Ichjinisha helped them survive.

But yeah, this year's Yuri Hime is much more interesting (thank you Pine!) than before. Maybe I will start buying this magazine again. This would be my third time :)

Oh yeah, sorry, I interpreted your comment wrong.

But yeah, I agree. It was a dark time for YH on that time. And it didn't get better with the NTR hate and the Yuri Danshi fiasco.
I started buying it since it became monthly and I have to say I wasn't impressed at first. It's amazing how much better the magazine became after they changed the editor. It's not just about having different stories, but they're actual good stories.

I still have problems with some series for lack of progress (TodoIto) or just because how stupid they are (Yume no Naka Kimi wo Sagashiteru). But overall the magazine is great now.

There's also gg - girls x garden, published within COMIC ExE, a het porn manga magazine, of all places.

They're published independently on the web now: http://www.comic-medu.com/wk/gg_shortstories
Also, Comic ExE isn't a "het porn magazine". It's a porn magazine. They're starting a porn yuri series now: https://mobile.twitter.com/comic_exe/status/1044936744783687680

And Girls x Garden isn't really a magazine, but an irregular anthology. If you consider it, you should consider Eclair, too.

Well, it was just to point out that a gamefaq thread is not good for that kind of thing. It would probably be considered yuri by more than 90% of the people who post here, and that's why /u/ recommends it as such.
If you can't see yuri in shows like Flip Flappers, for example, though, you might not see it in this game.

Whichever of you guys made this thread... Thanks, got baited by some motherfucker on /v/ to try Nights of Azure out, and since i was already on a Koei high after playing 4 Ateliers game non-stop and Samurai Warriors 4 Empires i figured one more wouldn't hurt, but damn it's not worth it, maybe i could power through it with some quality yuri but that doesn't seem to be the case
Oh well, back to FreeCell

Gamefaqs won't call anything yuri, though, even when it's on their face.
Nights of Azure is more yuri than all Atelier games, and, frankly, it's the most yuri any not visual Japanese game ever managed to be. You have to try really hard to deny that their feelings are romantic. Like, the only thing missing is a romantic kiss. They're even considered as a couple by the NPCs.

If it's worth or not as a game, that's another case. It's fun, but really flawed.

Except we talked about a lot of mistakes on the comments session. If they were willing to get help, they could post there. I even made some suggestion, but I don't use facebook, so I wouldn't contact them there. They kinda made themselves unavailable.
I also can say you don't translate some of those sentences without knowing there's something wrong with it. They skipped completely some words probably because they didn't understand. So yeah, maybe translating it again is not the best way to go. But not looking for help when you clearly need it and just releasing it anyway, they should expect something like this happening.
I'll defend mistakes people make while translating because, again, it's not a professional activity. However, I can't do it when these mistakes change the text completely. While I can't say they shouldn't translate it, I think someone else doing it instead is indeed a better solution for now.

And so you judge another group by their very first release?

I'm not affiliated with any group, but isn't the whole point of scanlator letting people who can't read Japanese read these stories? This is not really a business, so you can't "steal" a project. If you see a story that's being so mistranslated that the whole plot makes no sense, wouldn't it make sense want to give people a more appropriated version? And I read the original version and can agree, the translation hurts this story a lot. There are so many basic mistakes that change the whole story or change nuances.
Worse of it, these are fundamental mistakes or things that could be easily researched on google.

Anyway, I just don't think there's "stealing" other people's projects with scanlator. I would be happy if someone would get a project I translated and gave it a better work, because my whole reason for doing it would be for more people to read it, not to get attention. No one has permission to officially work on these, anyway.

I would recommend keeping in mind that the オネエ was used by Mimi as an insult, so it may not reflect what the teacher actually is.
Also, the TZdY version fixes all the translation mistakes.

She does look a lot like a crossdresser in anime, though. Like the Kuragehime guy, for example.
It's pretty common to make characters like this being tall (since Japanese women rarely are on that height) and a "scary face". Also, the way she acts is usually a stereotype for characters like this. You can see Cagliostro in the latest Symphogear, or even the guy in Kuragehime.
Sure, she might not be a crossdresser or trans, and the reason why Mimi called her that is that she has those traits.
I guess that's the risk in translating on-going stories (and only one chapter out).
Another part that could be a problem is when she talks about the MC "smelling like a mother". When I read, I thought maybe she was saying: "Like Mama", as in an actual person. It could be either though, and in this case, it's not a big problem.

Page 9, 27 & 33 were updated

Can I make a suggestion? On page 27 it doesn't say anything about return. That term is used when you're talking about blood being taken from someone else you're fighting.
You can confirm here: https://kotobank.jp/word/%E8%BF%94%E3%82%8A%E8%A1%80-458974

Also, on page 7 in the last square should have a text saying everyone can use magic. It's probably important for the story.

Only remember once, but she calls her "ossan"

There is also the use of "onee" (katakana) which refers to an effeminate man.

Oh, you're right. Haven't realized that.
It's interesting because "Onee" from onee-san is always used with hiragana. "オネエ" as far as I know is only ever used for gay men or crossdresser, although I only learn the term recently.
Now looking better at her face and tropes usually used for crossdresser, I could see it being the case.

Mimi rudely calls the nurse a man twice. Maybe she is just being insulting, maybe not. The translation does not have these insults.

Only remember once, but she calls her "ossan", which is usually used to refer to someone as a pervert, since old men are perverts, apparently. I guess it's because the nurse is all "I'm your Mama, right?"

can someone give me a summary of what just happened? I tried to reread this again but I'm still so confused with the story :(( Like so Mimi isn't the roommate that died?

Probably because page 9 isn't translated right. It should be "if it was Mimi, she wouldn't die".
Who died was an the MC's roommate. She has no name so far.
Mimi is the supposedly strongest student who wasn't on any class.

I'd like to go to that cafe for sure.
Hey guys, we know it is subtext but, do y'all know that subtext has the same letters as sex? It's just a question of time.
Heh.

Just to point out the series came to a point where it had a kiss. Flashback and not between the main cast, but it's yuri.
