Next season is less than a month already, so time to see what girl-focused or all-girl shows we get(with hopes of yuri(undertones))

Aoi yuuki the spider girl(Kumo desu) 2nd cour will be airing ofcourse, The human parts are annoying but sadly needed. Atleast we will keep the focus on our favourite spider-girl.

Aoi Yuuki the slime girl(I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level)

Zombieland S2

Super cub(the CGDCT show required by law to air every season)

Yakunara Mug Cup Mo(tourism advertisement?)

Battle Athletes reboot.

There's Blue Reflection Ray too !
But honestly, who needs more anime when we have Ex-arms to watch again and again and again?

The relationship between the main characters in Shadows House can be be read as yuri-ish if you squint. Pretty certain that's not where the manga is heading, though

Really looking forward to Zombieland Saga S2. If it's even half as good as the first season, it should be fantastic.

Battle Athletes better be at least as gay as the original.

In current anime news, Gekidol introduced fucking TIME TRAVEL. Yes, TIME TRAVEL. I love this ridiculous show.

This is weeks late but I'd like to share my love for gay horses. I just love the focus on these side characters and now I ship them so hard. Rice Shower is a hero. The main characters of this season got some rivalshipping too. McQueen's fuck me eyes to Tokai Teio was something else. I'm also surprised at how emotional this season of Uma Musume has become. Almost every episode has been a tearjerker.

Now the only mystery is how Kaoru is straight but somehow managed to get together a troupe that consists only of gay girls.

So uh... Wonder Egg Priority episode 9 happened...

I'm afraid to watch even episode 7 beyond the intro, a bullied student returning to school is recipe for very bad feels indeed.

Hey this show looks like the kind of stupid fun one needs from time to time and apparently is full speed on yuri too (hell one of the protagonist is called yuri lol) and over the top violence and fanservice https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/this-week-in-anime/2021-03-11/.170465

Almost too good to be true... so I went to check the manga .... ???? no yuri tag, that's weird huh? but taking a closer look at the volume covers https://mangadex.org/title/11986/tenkuu-shinpan/covers/ feels like I can guess what's going on, at the very least, the yuri was bait, the other girl died or the stuff in the anime never existed in the manga in the first place and some guy shows up later on to become the generic self insert.

So unless the anime decided to go full original, I would be wasting my time with this, right?

Yeah, total bait.

Yup!!! just checked the ending of the manga although the blonde girl stays in love with her until the very end and promises to protect her forever, the protagonist is like WeeheheHhuhe Brother xDDDDDD huehue while sleeping .... uufffff that was a high caliber bullet I managed to dodge in time, anyway, for my amusement, the ending seems to have been a huge let down and there's a sequel with is doing much better... But that's it's for me about that.

^ Yeah, that column tempted me too. Thank you Yurification for taking the bullet and reporting back. I find This Week in Anime highly entertaining, but they have this tendency to call characters gay when they really aren't. Goggles are great, but I wish they'd mention it's just subtext.

I've read most of the (first) manga, and it is kinda reciprocated? Ish? It's not as overt on the protagonist's side, but there's still some moments that you'd normally see between love interests there. I still wouldn't read or watch it just for the yuri, though, I felt the story fell apart the farther it got

Fitting that an Uma Musume fanart got uploaded today since the latest episode was very GAY. Hilarious tho that Gold Ship and McQueen get more fanart because of season 1 but season 2 is going full speed ahead with McQueen x Teio.

After reading, I'd say the commenters don't really know all that much about yuri. :/

I mean its ANN, not exactly good for anything that is not just straight about news about the anime industry.

This week's episode of Wonder Egg Priority... was something. A lot to unpack. I'll just say I like the transgender character and that the show actually went there, but I definitely did not like his backstory. Him being that world meant he had to have killed himself but daym that's fucked up. And poor Momoe. Just when she got an awesome moment, she then gets brought down by something(?). Very creepy. RIP Panic aka Momoe's crocodile. Still, too many plot threads to unravel and they keep showing more. Hopefully the show sticks the landing but I'm also reading about production problems behind the scenes.

what kind of production problems?

MIERUKO CHAN IS GETTING AN ANIME!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oW2dO_T-9jA

what kind of production problems?

The anime has been getting more and more outsourced lately with the recent episode even having people from anitwitter. This can potentially be bad because different people making different frames means inconsistency. And the fact that this is happening lately means they are rushing and pressed for time. The Recap episode was also a sign that the animation team needs more time.

Satako in the last Higu Gou episode just flat out said She is in love with Rika

Finished with Gekidoll, nice plot twist at the very end, the plot twist leading to the final plottwist not so much, I felt like it was something out of an Aizen meme from bleach.... I have to complain...

And yet it felt flat, like, I was 80 % more interested in OUR protagonists from the troupe than whatever shit the time travelers are dealing with, so having the last 2 episodes focusing 70 % on time traveling and their lame forced romance (why these girls like the guy in the first place if all he does is creepy, nasty or cruel? and he gets a happy ending while the savior (that at this point has so many names that I can't remember one) just dies thinking that all her life was a mistake.... why?) without chemistry or logic... and I have to say it again, it was creepy.

The doll, for a brief moment makes you think she had a change of heart and it's gonna make something good... But nope! she rather stay with the guy and fuck everything else, considering that, there was absolutely no point in recovering their memories if you'll wipe out his mind again anyway 10 seconds later and continue where you left off! all the doll did was make the time traveler feel worse for no reason

I feel ... baited once again, of course the yuri was there, at the beginning and the story was nice most of the times but their love or anyone's (from the troupe) love was never developed, they abandoned that after the first half not even leaving subtext left, so if I had to rate it... I would say "I would've rather not start it in the first place"/10.

Now it's time to continue with Wonder Egg hahaha but hey, whatever happens with this one at the end, I'm okay because I still have Yuru camp, I really like Chiaki's new look and Inuko's imouto hanging around makes everything 100% more comfy and adorable

Yeah, Gekidol was a wild ride, but ultimately one that's hard to recommend. When I watched the first episode I thought to myself that the setting seemed unnecessarily complicated, so there was a high chance that it would become relevant later and make the show really annoying to watch. I didn't imagine how right I would turn out to be (I'm not right very often!). Boy did I not care about the sci-fi plot. I signed up for a show about a plucky theater troupe, not time travel hijinks and a tragic straight romance.

Also, if anyone was waiting for this to be over to decide if they were going to watch it for the yuri, I don't think they need to bother. There are some vague hints in the last episode that Airi has feelings for Seria and I guess it could be implied they'll end up together later (especially now that Seria won't have that freakout about her sister), but it's way too little to justify watching the whole story. It was an endearing mess of a show, but ultimately still a mess.

while the savior (that at this point has so many names that I can't remember one) just dies thinking that all her life was a mistake.... why?)

You're right, holy shit. Whatever happened to her in the end?

I just finished Show by Rock Stars!! and overall PRETTY GOOD! and the final song really makes you fight the tears hahaha.
ALSO very important, this part...

You might call it a stretch, but the method used to wake her up remains a "mystery" but giving their relationship and the heavy subtext through season 2 all the way to this point, I guess is easy to imagine what happened xD and no one can convince out of it hahaha

Gekidoll might have left of at a "maybe its yuri" ending, we atleast know that Aria and Seria are gay.

On better news, higu really brought us the Yandere yuri mc we always wanted,

And if you go with the connection to Umineko and the theory that Satako becomes Lamda or somehow part of her, it only gets better.
Tragic, but still.
