In Getsuyoubi no Tawawa 2 ep 7 confirmed the little sister has a crush on her female senpai (the same senpai prown to groping so seems like a bright future for those two).

Is this thread dead? Well, it can't be helped. The last two seasons were very low on yuri. I hope they announce some sort of yuri anime in the future.

It is pretty much, we're getting subtext here and there but nothing more than that, maid dragon had more yuri with Kanna than the main couple and we'll get pseudo yuris in the next seasons... Plus I'm tired of the idol animes because they're idols, they can't never date. I was going to give Selection project a chance because it looked pretty nice but then I realized it was a reality show and they would be filmed 24/7... I found that super creepy and dropped the anime asap!

And next year only Machikado Mazoku s2 could save the world, but I already know what's gonna happen from the manga... Is yuri anime truly dead now?

By the way this season I'm watching Mug Cup s2, Komi san, Blue Period and yuuki yuuna, these are all good!! I want to wach Mieruko chan too but, because it's really creepy I don't feel like watching it during my breaks to eat or very late at night, I never get the timing so I just watch vtubers Y-Y I also dropped Aquatope because of the bait, I said this before, just waiting to see how it ends first.

The best thing out there right now is Arcane from League of Legends and that's not anime.

PS: GIrl's Frontline and Arknight anime trailer surprised us with female leads, Arknights is 90% confirmed but yeah... there's that for next year

I'll just say, Selection Project has turned out to be surprisingly amazing.
Amazing art and voice acting (especially ep 6), the plot is pretty great (very simple, but great), all the characters are great, and it's got great songs
My main complaint is that all but one (Uta) look way too old. But that's basically any anime nowadays.
Also, the 24/7 filming is extra creepy considering their median age is 14 (although, it's not even mentioned after 2 so I forgot it's even a thing)

That Isekia Assasin yuri anime will probably air next year, and LL -selt-insert edition- too.

What is title for this Isekai yuri assassin anime?

The Executionner and her way of life

Winter is already less than a month away, so hoping to see more all-girl shows(and less boring than Pride of orange)

Princess connect s2 - Male mc, but he is pretty much braindead. Peco x Kyaru needs to keep going strong.

Leadale no Daichi nite - Girl mc Isekia

Kaijin Kaihatsu-bu no Kuroitsu-san - FeMC, no idea if it has important male characters.

Akebi-chan no Sailor-fuku - Girl making friends at an all-girl school.

SLOW LOOP - Kirara show. A whole season without them was just cruel.

Hakozume: Kouban Joshi no Gyakushuu - female cop show

Dolls' Frontline - all-girl sci-fi action

CUE! - mobile game about voice actors

Tabi Hani - ????

Sorairo Utility - Shitty sport, but atleast its an all-female sports show?

Oh yes! AKEBI CHAN IS SOOOOO GOOD!!! well, at least the manga is, if they make a good adaptation we'll have one of the bests animes with subtext ever created ... But the latest chapters of the manga have been dangerously close to yuri, and not just one character but 3

Kaijin Kaihatsu-bu no Kuroitsu-san - FeMC, no idea if it has important male characters.

Oh, this one is weird. The main character's direct boss is male and around a lot, but never really focused on. ...And the second-most important character, the wolfgirl, is mentally male and just stuck in a female body. Not sure whether the way it's handled counts as transphobic or not

So similar to Ayashiki triangle. Ye, hoping it wont be transphobic. But we will see how they handle it.

It's the same girl we saw giving chocolates in a flashback in episode 4. I thought it was supposed to show that she wasn't into girls but I'm so happy it wasn't

Thanks for drilling us a small hole of yuri light in this room of gloomy yuri-less season.

Mieruko-chan has been pretty gay so far.

Hana really loves butts.

I saw the final review of Aquatope and would you look at that.....I was totally off the mark! lo/ it's actually a great series that ends beautifully with great animation and no het romance with Kukuuru, as for the yuri you might have to judge that yourself but I think you will be fine it is wrong to watch this show "expecting" something to happen as I did and why I paused with 13 episodes. You should just watch this show for the drama and emotion, it's a great show.

So I guess I need to keep watching, and that's good.

Well, YuYuYu is over. As far as yuri goes, one of the side stories involves a lesbian crush (but ends badly) and the main narrative has some strong subtext at the very end. Not worth watching for, but appreciated. As for what to watch for in the first place... it exists to make S2 less shit. If you've seen S2, watch this. If you haven't, I wouldn't bother

YES THANK THE YURI GODS

I have been on the fence for a while due to the CG but the music is so good and I really like the design of the characters. Also, I really love idol anime. Time to binge.

Thank you for this. Another one to binge soon since I know it just finished. I really liked the episodes I've seen so I'm glad it was mostly consistent.

Yea. Reading description I thought it was just like tournament or some kind of normal competition, but then at the end they said it's supposed to be like reality TV where they live together and are being filmed constantly so fans can see their favorite idols real life and I'm really not fan of that stuff and forced drama in those shows, but decided to give it a chance, since it's also first time (I think) idol anime tried to do something like that and turns out... it almost never comes up again. You never see them being filmed during their day to day life. In fact they're actually seeing them as normal people. Later when one of main leads is forced to confess something private other main lead asks crew to stop filming and they did and later the person playing mascot character is seen drinking and genuinely feeling sorry for MC, while complaining how despite that he has to keep acting as if nothing happened and pretend to be cherry mascot. There also wasn't any misleading editing etc done to make show more spicy than it was. Honestly it didn't feel like reality show at all.

PS: GIrl's Frontline and Arknight anime trailer surprised us with female leads, Arknights is 90% confirmed but yeah... there's that for next year

Actually I took it more as them keeping Arknight's lead as being ambiguous, cos even in the game's story their gender is never confirmed in any way, so I think they'll try keep that in the anime as well, which honestly would be amazing in it's own way, even if of course I'd prefer Doctor being a woman.

That's actually really good to know, you know the Mascot character was the one who made it sound really bad at the start, you know with the smug attitude and sassyness saying that there would be cameras everywhere around these teenager groups I was thinking "dude... what the hell are you implying..." really put me off honestly so I'm glad (just like with Aquatope) to be wrong and it didn't go as I expected.

Like, leaving the creepy fan side aside, having cameras all around also made me think that the girls would either embarrass themselves into some controversy or fake being nice in front of the cameras.

Also! Trailers

Yuru Camp DA MOVIE https://youtu.be/xmVdq3iJsDQ

About two girls who are actually supernatural beings trying to be.... comedians? in the Taisho period https://youtu.be/4FUd6KSp6ZE looks cute!

Also new anime announced with cute girls in modern times trying to be.............comedians! yes https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2022-01-06/teppen-manga-about-3-aspiring-high-school-comedians-gets-tv-anime-in-2022/.181278 it's called Teppen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Announcement listed the anime's full title as Teppen—!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with 15 exclamation points (instead of just three exclamation points as in the manga's title) and teased that the 15 exclamation points have significance"

Lo/

Yea. I totally agree with you on that, but no. It turned out they all just acted like themselves and all the drama really did came from their relationships and competition itself. And no girl was really mean for the sake of it or anything. In fact, when I posted I only watched till episode 6, but after that I finished and I was honestly surprised how good this anime was. The company really turned out to be first good idol company to ever exist. It did confirm they indeed had cameras in their bedrooms etc. but as I said, they never had to use footage like that to create drama or interest and in fact, the part of "fans will see their idols true faces without make up etc." really never came up. It was pretty much just normal idol anime.

On another topic Police in Pod has a lot of potential. Plot summary is gay af and MC comments how her new coworker is beautiful, but even if it won't go anywhere, the comedy is great and I really like both characters.

In the Land of Leadale doesn't really have any potential ships yet (well there's daughter of family working at the tavern MC stays in, but she's more of younger sister character), but so far I'm enjoying it. It has some good comedy and I like MC quite a lot.

Okay, all of the yuri-looking stuff has started. Initial impressions:

Akebi-chan is very pretty and the writing is pretty much CGDCT/iyashikei cranked all the way up. So it seems pretty gay. The problem is that the writing is pretty much CGDCT/iyashikei cranked all the way up. I like me some Kirara series, but the writing here comes off as pretty inane even to me

Cue is generic mobage idol seiyuu garbage. The relationship between the MC and the second-most-important character is definitely yuri-ish, but is it worth putting up with a massive cast of one-note characters for?

Girls' Frontline is pretty much wall-to-wall shootbang action. Might develop some yuri, but it wouldn't be why I'd suggest watching it

Hakozume is an okay comedy with shippable female leads. It's also definitely pro-cop, which may or may not be a deal-breaker for you

PrinConne is back with basically the same staff. No real subtext in the single episode out so far, but I'd be surprised if they dropped it entirely

Slow Loop is a Kirara series. Technically our leads are step-sisters, but their relationship sure doesn't feel familial

So I don't generally watch seasonal anime as they are airing, much less in sub (bite me, dub haters), and don't really care all that much for BL, BUT...

Sasaki and Miyano are JUST SO FUCKING CUTE! I'll be following this one hard (unless it goes south hard, but I loved the first episode).
