Catharine herself might be too much of an idiot for any form of romance, 3 girls in the show do/will have romantic interest in her, but 4 guys stand against that.

Like, if Bakarina has a bi harem does a girl actually have a chance at romance, or is it just fanservice?

If Catarina ends up with anyone (not guaranteed), it's most likely to be Maria. She's pretty much the only character where Catarina's feelings appear as though they could be romantic. And the anime OP seems to ship it?

And does Tamayomi have something like yuri crush at least?

I found the anime too boring to watch, but the manga has a ton of subtext, at least

Maria being the herione also makes the most sense for her to win. Going by game logic.

Thanks. I might as well check out both of the series.

that one shot in Bakarina's op of her holding hands with her friend from her former life watching the sunset in the beach is so good and so cruel a the same time Dx

As far as I read in the manga of Bakarina, Katarina is indeed too stupid to understand romantic love towards her in the slightest. It's kind of a pain lol

Who was that friend? did she reincarnate into one of the game characters? I don't mind spoilers.

Yeah it's fine if she thinks they like her as a friend but if she outright ignores a passionate confession said straight (and some of them not straight at all :)) ) to her face then I feel like is not worth getting excited before the real ending, so after the student council arc I Dropped the manga, it was a great "ending" and I'm not interested in what comes next.

Now, "ignoring" is not the right word... She just spurs things like "hahahahaha when the harem starts fighting for her or "Welp I don't get it but :D :D :D let's go get my tomatoes" so it gets weird after a while.

The author originally ended the story in the WN after chapter 22 of the manga. So you can see what the ending was supposed to entail. After it was picked up as a LN the plot was stretched out, so everything post chapter 22 is that new territory that wasn't supposed to happen. Perhaps the friendship ending was indeed what the story was going for or it was suppsoed to be a lot more conclusive and was then altered to make a continuation possible.

Whichever it may be, the author's way of elongating it isn't very appealing to me either. The characters are entertaining enough to continue reading, but until it actually truly ends I'd not get my hopes up for Bakarina to leave her personal black hole. Harems are not my thing, but the main appeal of this one is that it's a bi-harem, which is rarer than any other and that Katarina is using Otome game knowledge to survive. If both aspects are halted, it becomes less interesting.

She is a her best friend who introduced her to otome games, and indeed she also reincarnated into the game, I don't remember the details but she is the white haired girl (bad with names sorry) who is reading a book with Bakarina in the OP

on the subject of Bakarina's story later on. I wasn't much of a fan of what will probably be the end point in the anime while reading the manga, felt it drag forever without many good/fun thing to it, so once it was done I stopped following it, and from what I remeber from other people's comments the story isn't particularly good afterwards

Tamayomi's episode was a disaster, the staff give the streaming version an earlier and incomplete version and it look horrible.Here a comparaison between At-X version(top) and Funinamtion (bottom) so you cann se the damages.

That's really sad... also very fitting subtitles.
I'm not sure which version is Horriblesub taking from, but they decided to pick raws with 700 or 1300mb per episode so I stopped using it, I'll wait for a fansub

This is so bizarre to me like, what even happened?

I bet the person on charge had both the finished one and the one they send to another company to do the final touches but they messed up the files.
But luckily, someone cared enough to make an AT X version https://nyaa.si/view/1240747

This is getting an anime...

I should be happy because fit girls and there's an ojousama... From the manga I know that the protagonist is good too but there's a character that can ruin the entire experience, the one with brown hair was made to annoy people and kill the fun... I suppose that I could watch it by keeping my mouse on the mute icon whenever she speaks, yeah, she left an awful impresion in me

But I must say the promotional poster looks pretty nice, if they can improve what's has been done in the manga, is really worth the try!

Almost thought it would be a Pocha Climb adaptation. Impossible of course, the industry never picks up small yuri manga. It's a miracle if the big ones get one season.

I mean, you generally want at least 5 volumes for even a single cour of anime. Pocha Climb (and most romance manga, really) just isn't anywhere near long enough

Oh boy, i know this one. True that one of the club member is very annoying so far.

I was more thinking along the lines of an OVA or something.Ain't gonna get more than that even if there were 5 volumes. It's not a kirara manga.

1) OVAs are barely a thing anymore; the few that aren't continuations of a TV series are mostly test bubbles for a TV series. 2) Citrus and WataTen got full series. Yuri Hime is perfectly willing to invest a bit when they have a hit on their hands

Kase-san would disagree.

Yeah that's the problem... Citrus and Wataten are insanely popular, whether you believe they are high quality or not. Pocha Climb is clearly a more niche series... even among yuri which is already niche. Unless its a flagship like YagaKimi or Ctirus you shouldn't get your hopes up for a TV series. Or they pick dumpster fires that will at least stir a big reaction like Netsuzou Trap or Happy Sugar Life.

Don't forget Yuru yuri with its 3 seasons. While OVAs are rare, they do happen from time to time. Kase-san and flag time come to mind.

Speaking of flag, seems the BD is coming out next month.

Those are great news, I was really worried about Fragtime

Been a while since last time I did this so I hope I can express my feelings properly. And well, there's like 3 ppl on here that care about yugioh.

I watched YGO Sevens, it is a very weird show. It definitely doesn't feel like the other seasons, ok maybe early Zexal minus the annoying friends. *5 episodes in, its on hiatus rn thanks to covid.

New mechanics first! Rush duels...I kinda like them, definitely more unique than speed duels or random gimmicks. But I can't just ignore Konamis blatant attempt to make more ¥¥¥¥ by releasing new shiny cards you can't play with the old ones...I guess it's better than destroying a bunch of decks like when links and pendulums came out.

Story is...not there yet. Theres not even the usual hook! Just some shady people and just some usual king of games thing, barely anything. It really feels like kids show. Children's card game is canon now.
The characters are significantly younger than the usual cast. They are adorable! Which is very different. YMMV

The animations are...decent? Definitely not as detailed and beautiful as the usual. And I can't talk about the animations without at least mentioning Konami ditching the studio that has animated this thing for so many years.

Soundtrack....uh I didn't even pay attention to it. I guess it's serviceable.

TL;DR It's ok, it's a sorta reboot. There's potential.

Yuri? Nah. Then again Arc-v did randomly hit us with yuri scenes lol

Is it a pun on the character named Yuri or there is really Yuri scenes ?

^ yes.
Actual answer: Yuzu v Masumi rematch was basically a yuri romance episode. Yuzu and Serena were very touchy feely when they were on screen together. Oh and she also "admired" Asukas body once. Not much, but it was very blatant. That's all I remember rn, Arc-v was very rushed after all

The date was announced and I hope it won't be delayed
