i just watched Birdie Wing ep.1 and it's so weird?
it clearly wants to be a sports drama about golf but the way it's set up and framed you'd think you're watching a spy flick ala james bond sometimes xD

also holy shit i forgot how fast everyone talks in Demon girl next door. i almost feel like i have to watch on 0.75 so i don't have to pause repeatedly to catch all the subtitles xD

Looks like Executioner and Her Way of Life is off to a good start! Hopefully the quality is maintained throughout the season. It would be good if it can be a top show this season so we can hopefully get even more action yuri anime.

The Executioner and Her Way of Life has been great so far, it's just sad that the Anime got review bombed on MAL by the incels angry because that random guy was killed in the first episode, the Anime is with a lower score than it deserves

LOL the same happened with the manga, the comments were hilarious... they were really pissed that they lost their isekai harem overpowered main guy number #19425

Okay, most things this season are out, including pretty much everything relevant to this site:

Birdie Wing is a sports anime with the tone of a gambling manga. Yuri level is thus far unclear, but probably worth checking out if you liked Kakegurui

MagiReco S3 was pretty solid, even if it didn't do much on the yuri front

BRS Dawn Fall seems to be primarily an ontological mystery; the world is very strange, and the appeal of the show is figuring out what happened to make it that way

Machikado S2 has been quite enjoyable. I've come across someone who's convinced that it's going to be slow and padded, but 'slow' is the opposite of how I'd describe the first episode

The Executioner and Her Way of Life seems solid. And it turns out that the manga skipped like 60% of the material

Nijigasaki is back

RPG Real Estate is kinda bad? Probably best used alongside Machikado as a case study on what does and doesn't work in these sort of anime

Shachiku-san is boring

...

they were really pissed that they lost their isekai harem overpowered main guy number #19425

No, no, they were angry that isekai harem overpowered main guy number #19425 got killed by a girl. They were quite specific about that

What about Healer Girl? I saw a couple screenshots and that looked gay. Haven't had the time to watch it yet
It is made by 3Hz who have a pretty good track record (Flip Flappers, Princess Principal, and SAO Alternative) as far as yuri stuff goes so I'm a bit hopeful

Healer Girl is definitely neat looking. Pretty visuals, great singing&music. How deep the plot is remains to be seen but there's definitely lots of potential there.
You gotta like the amount of singing though. If it annoys you when Disney movie or musical characters spontaneously bust out a song, it's prob not for you.

Healer Girl

Oops, completely spaced that one out. Yeah, there is some yuri there. I personally couldn't get into it, but a lot of other people seem to love it. Given the writer's track record, I wouldn't expect any real plot or character depth, but if you want a cute musical I guess it's fine

Healer Girl was solid for me, but I love musicals, so that was almost expected. Hoping for a good episodic Yuri musical anime.

Shachiku just made me a weird mix of depressed and charmed, cause it was cute but the premise is pretty dark.

RPG Real Estate went too hard on the fan service for me. I got through the first episode, and will give it one or two more to see if it tones down just for the Yuri.

Birdie Wing started off great…until the underground section and the craziness set in. If it had kept the seriousness without the odd shot names it would’ve been great.

RPG Real Estate might be fanservicey moeblob mediocrity but it's still more overtly gay than like 90% of all the other moeblob CGDCT anime xD

Rakira: T-That's...!

Ohhhh well would you look at that~
But maybe I should just jump to the manga from the start haha

I was really excited for onipan! but found out it's a short anime, not even 5 minutes per episode...

Upcoming anime looks nice https://youtu.be/OI9arsRlNJU

I think the manga is better, but it's not licensed and all of like three chapters have been scanlated, so good luck with that

But airing weekdays, with compiled episodes later. Still short, but not that short

Ah, yes, the Atelier game without the game part

I'm a little sad Executioner's Way of Life ep.3 didn't adapt the scene where Menou figuratively forces herself into the Red Knight to get to the core, would've been neat to see those visuals animated.

Also is it just me or did Menou and Akari seem way more affectionate in the manga? The way they sat on top of the train at the end of the respective chapter was really cute but they changed that in the anime too :thinking_face:

Alert! Blood type blue.........It's an anime!

I'm conflicted, I'm happy with new yuri anime but on the other hand, I dropped this manga in the first chapter because I found everyone unlikable lo/ (like how the protagonist was forced into work one day and the rest were mad that she didn't know how to work without giving instructions lol) and never was able to take that sour first impression... Maybe I should watch it and skip the first episode? we will see!

I never got through chapter one because I was bored. Maybe the anime will change things since no reading...

Odd, I also didn’t get past the first chapter. Could also have been that there wasn’t much translated so I didn’t want to get in to it yet. Well I’m looking forward to it.

Hopefully it has a good studio that’ll give it a good representation. Probably asking too much for Clover Works to work on it, but I can hope after what they did with Akebi and Dress-Up.

Just hope it isn’t KyoAni. Don’t have anything against their work, but I’ve seen too many posts about not watching their works in fear of Yuri bait.

Oooohhh I'm actually super hype about this!! I've been keeping up to date with this series and I like it a lot. It actually has what could be read as some great a-spec rep here, as well as lots about masking that resonates with me about autism. The whole class S parody shtick is hit or miss much i personally find it very entertaining xD

'Birdie Wing - Golf Girls' Story' seems to follow the classic formula for over-the-top sports anime, with 14-year-old girls who use impossibly superpowered techniques to play crazy games of golf and then bond through rivalry; the mcs are a mercenary street golfer (haha it's that a thing??) who plays for money in the dark golfing underground (again it's that even a thing???) and a über-ojousama who is unbeatable in top-flight tournaments because she has the blood of two long lines of golfing champions coursing through her veins.
The street golfer girl already has two women and a gaggle of children to provide for (and she's 14, tough life) but it's a given that the ojousama will be her otp because the usual reasons of sports anime: they understand each other and can get close to each other through their golf at a level impossible to reach for other people.

That sounds exciting to be honest hahaha but it's good to come prepared and not take it seriously.... For better or worse, normal sports has a really hard time so they either mix some idol stuff or super powers to survive.

I still can't deal with the fact that Pocha climb was axed and that other edgy climbing manga with the obnoxious team mate who was doing everything in her power to kick everyone who tried to join the club, got an anime!!! like What the hell lol

I guess?? It was announced after the show had ended at a promotional event (I had to go look this up because this is the first I’d heard about it). Atra and Kudelia were more Mikazuki’s wives and close friends to each other. Not saying they didn’t grow closer but it isn’t shown. Well, at least it opens the door for future characters.
