Rifle is Beautiful is ANIME OF THE YEAR !!! hahahaha omg XP go watch it!

Idon't think Serenata statement was serious in any way and Granbelm's end was a letdown and way too bittersweet for me to enjoy.

Granbelm had potential, at the end they didn't use it... We discussed the finale here and I really really didn't like it but I won't discuss the why again.

Interesting detail with Granbelm I heard recently... There's this cartoon from Disney called Star Vs The Forces of Evil; the ending had the same conclusion but it was catastrophically worse. I only saw two seasons but I'm glad I didn't finish it.

But yeah I'm not serious about being the best of the year, it could be but that's only for me because I'm enjoying every chapter with a smile.

Nice to see Rifle has legalized yuri marriage in Japan. High school is a bit early to get engaged though!

Really? I watched 4 or 5 episodes and decided to drop it coz nothing was really happening. I mean, sure, it was fun to have Rei Ayanami and Asuka Langley in the MC group, but the story seemed to be going nowhere.

Did it get better lately?

Well they are going to the nationals, the tournament didn't last long but I like it because of the cute girls doing cute stuff and the subtext that it was pretty strong in the last one.

These Japanese customs of not wanting to stand out or cause problems can be painful to watch, like with Code Reunion
When Rigel is feeling obviously pretty bad, Azumi ask what's wrong? and she replies "nothing :))))"
And then they fail horrible the next battle, obviously because of them.
Then Azumi wants to ask about it and Rigel notices, but then she says "hmm no, is nothing :))))" and they continue to fail over and over.....Then Azumi ask her teacher about it and they reach one answer, will it fix the situation? no, because they don't talk about it.

Then something else happens with another girl... Rigel notices and ask asumi, what's wrong?
.
.
.
"nothing :))))))))"

Now we just wait until nothing becomes a huge accident later that could've been easily avoided Sigh well, at least the teacher admits that they don't know much about it and that's why they're trying to force results.

Edit:

Oh, is like they're telling us to ship them this way

Oh, I missed that we had a trailer for that... I can't say that I'm impressed by it, though. Looks like a cheap fanservice series :/ But, yes, pretty gay

We do have some series with yuri potential coming up in January, though:

22/7 has always been kinda yuri on the animated side of things, and the visual a couple posts up makes it look like the full series will continue that. It also looks like it'll be decently animated and a legit drama, unlike a lot of idol anime

Bandori S3 is happening

Railgun is introducing a character popular with yuri shippers. I'm kinda interested in the response to this, since the series is a relic from an earlier age, where yuri was rare and mostly a joke. Also this arc falls apart at the end

Eizouken might be shippable? I'd say it's a weird art/comedy series that just happens to have an all-female main cast, but it does have an all-female main cast

There's that LN adaptation with a long name (shortened to Bofuri) about a couple of girls in a VRMMO. Didn't notice much romantic in what I read of it, but it should at least be shippable

Koisuru Asteroid is readable on this very site. It starts with heavy subtext and I wouldn't be surprised if it goes full yuri eventually

Magia Record is probably not including the canon lesbian from the game, but I hear there's some pretty heavy subtext with the main characters anyway. I would note that it looks like it's not going to be a very close adaptation, but it also looks like they'll be emphasizing Iroha and Yachiyo's relationship more. Though honestly I'm just super ready for this in general

Nekopara is harem trash, but I hear some of the girls are pretty into each other

There's, uh, OshiBudo? The one about an idol and her fan? The PV looked pretty gay and Hirao Auri has done plenty of yuri in the past. What concerns me here is that I've enjoyed literally none of her work that I've read

Show by Rock is back with a new main cast (and staff) and the PV makes it look like there'll be some subtext there

Kyoani? I'll pass.

For what i'm gather, it's seem your typical 3 girls group anime like we had with Joshikousei no Mudazukai not so long ago or with Yuyushiki.

Tender Night is good. Not really a romance though. Manga no Tsukurikata was a trainwreck I agree.

You mean new main characters? I can't find anything like that.

22/7 is being handled by A-1. They're just swiping KyoAni's style

I've actually read some of it, and it's pretty different from the typical CGDCT fare. There's no moe to speak of, and the sense of humour is more sitcom-ish

Alright. When will it be airing?

Pretty much everything(*) is starting in early January. 22/7 in particular begins on the 11th

(*)Bandori starts airing on the 23rd, nearly 2 weeks after everything else, for some reason

Thank you. :)

Azur lane 11 and 12 delayed and there's not much they can cram in there tbh. Feels like the anime was more of an ad for the game than a retelling/original story.
At least Edgyprice was pretty cool. insert pervy comment about uncensored ep 6 when here

Eh? I've honestly been finding it one of the more consistently enjoyable anime of the season. I mean, yeah, the writing is weak (though I like how weird the plot's been), but the music's good, the set design is great, animation is there when it counts. Just high-tier spectacle

Yeah I've seen lots of people complaining about the story like it doesn't make sense but is not even over yet and for the most part, it has been really entertaining to watch... But yeah, taking a time off and fix the animation will make this something really memorable at least for me, and about the ad part, I feel that way only when it comes to the amount of ships who literally are there just for shown or just to appear in one frame... But I'm glad for that as well, I got to see the Cleveland sisters even if they weren't relevant to the story and even Eldrige and Bache

The lack of cute cutest ship of them all, Indy-chan, is disturbing, though.
