Well in Tamako market it was obvious Tamako didn't feel anything gay for her friend. So no surprise to me there.
What about the others? I haven't watched Lucky Star or anything, but these shows are about very young girls. So expecting a confirmed Yuri romance from them is a bit too much imo.
Hibike season 1 was pretty gay. There was only one mention of Taki and none of Shuichi. So, having the director saying they don't want to turn this into a shujo anime, I thought we would be fine with the Kumiko and Shuichi parts.
I wouldn't have imagined the het would come from Reina. And in this way too.
After their trip and Reina mentioning Taki more and more, I thought we were done. So I was like, ok we are done with this and now we can go back to KimiRei doing stuff together.
But turns out they dragged this thing all over the season, which I didn't expect to go this far.
I don't care about canon Yuri confirmations or kisses, as long as they have good chemistry and it's obvious they like each other.
I think some Yuri fans are going overboard with wanting to have a canon kiss etc though.
Remember these shows are also intended for younger audiences too, and canon Yuri puts off some of them.
Not everything has to pander to a specific audience, so keep repeating that this will never be canon and trying to make people not watch it is annoying. And I'm referring to the time before season 2 started.
Let them decide when they want to drop something or not.
