Witch and the beast has yuri kissing.

No romance though, but I though it should be mentioned here.

And how is the show in general?

It is very entertaining with mystery and refined style but lots of death and gore too, is about a world that's pretty used to magic and witches, as for the yuri kissing I wouldn't recommend it if you're a yuri fan looking for more content is not about romance or accident, is to break a curse so there's no feelings involved, and the girl protagonist appears to be a man trapped in a woman's body, and clearly not happy about it... I don't know if that changes in the manga later on

I somehow pissed that part, I should really pay more attention

On winter anime,

Pon no Michi - CGDT of thhe season

Did indeed turn out to be a very standard CGDT.. without heavy subtext. Has mahjong though.

Metallic Rouge - Praying it will be andriod yuri, it has been a while since that GitS spin-off aired[8 years]

Very shippable, but not canon.

The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash
No other important female characters, but all the male characters are all father figures to the MC. Has zero romance.

Tis Time for "Torture," Princess

The only important male side character is the demon lord. It has 2 female side characters who are very close and shippable.

Frieren, the tsundere yuri pairing shows up in the 2nd cour.

none-yuri LGBT stuff,

Bravern, the 2 male leads are gay as hell and it can't be more obvious unless they made out on screen.
Mashle S2, Macaron, a character introduced this season, is non-binary.

If there's one thing he will be remembered for, it's this. Not Dragon Ball. Not Arale. Not the Arale ufo, which is pretty iconic on its own.

No, he will be remembered for a water drop with a smiley face on it.

About the protagonist of killing slimes, does she ever feel romantic love? Or are all of them just daughters and maids to her? I remember feeling annoyed at Kobayashi for this but even she had some development in that part...but I don't know about the other one.

Jellyfish looks very nice!

Well, the anime did tone up the yuri a little bit, but no. The novels continue to have subtext-adjacent stuff but they're not yuri. Laika is still her "little sister", Beelzebub is her "older sister", Pecora is her Class-S little sister, etc

yeah, I'd say its more found family slice-of-life vibes than anything. But Beelzebub does want to share custody of the daughters.

They never commit to anything but there are several characters who actively make passes at her, so it's more than we get from other series of its kind~

A follow up for the winter season now that most of the shows are ending. Not following up on every show I mentioned since I didn't watch them/someone else has already done a well enough update/no real change from what was initially reported.

Gushing Over Magical Girls: I haven't watched the anime yet since I'm waiting for the "Super uncensored" version on the Blu-Ray, but I did read the manga to a bit past where the anime adapted and I've seen peoples's post about it. It went all the way with the "Room you can't leave unless you have sex" probably being one of the highlights. With it being such a success and BD pre-orders already selling out, it seems like a season 2 will happen.

Delicious in Dungeon: so, turns out this is actually getting 24 episodes so we can actually get more Falin and Marcille moments. So far in the one ep of them being back together we got a bath and bed scene full of subtext

Mato Seihei no Slave (Chained Soldier): one of the girls clearly has a crush on her commander. Also, getting a second season so it might be possible to reach that supposed yuri that happens later in the manga.

Metallic Rouge: "She's my best stranger". Nice little moment.

'Tis Time for "Torture," Princess: from ep 5 onwards the subtext is more noticeable, especially with the introduction of a certain Vampire girl.

Urusei Yatsura (2022) 2nd Season: so far nothing big with Ryuunosuke but the season isn't over yet.

Pon no Michi: other than one joke about one of the girls getting a gift like a boyfriend would, not really any subtext. Still a good show and seems like we'll get a second season based on the ending.

And now for the surprise of the season: Honkai Star Rail Acheron and Black Swan's animated short. Pretty clear yuri with this one but the official Honaki Star Rail tik tok added text over the video to make it even more blatant.

I's wild how different the quality focus can be in 3D anime.
On one hand we got Girls Band Cry with amazingly lively (and fruity) looking character animation and expressions especially! And on the other hand we got Highspeed Etoile which has super high res renders of futuristic motorsports cars but characters that are barely more than moving cardboard cutouts xD

Related: Jellyfish can't swim in the Night is also super hecking pretty and reaaal gay. Some good food this season

Jellyfish is looking like it'll be a great show! Just watched episode 1 and it looks fantastic (and really gay). Just wish HiDive would fix their site, app, and region locking issues.

Blue Archive:...

BA player here, half of the girls are into the player (Sensei) whose gender is up to you. Their personality goes from reliable to pervert depending on the story. I'm going to assume the anime will ignore the player stuff and just do the cute girls stuff like Azure Lane did? It looks like it's adapting chapter one, Abydos story, so maybe they have something there? I don't see anyone voicing the player character like Arknights did. The PC isn't super necessary anyway, but we might miss out on Aru being a cute dork.
*Forgot to mention there is a bit of yuri. Ako canonically has a thing for Hina, Serika is a tsundere and she blushed from Shirako's comments here and there.

I'm not even a BA player i find it pretty amazing you are pretty much completely wrong about sensei

Why would they drop such a bomb at the end of Jellyfish and then move on like nothing happened? is it the end of the road for us? and of course they don't elaborate, but at the very least we can confirm is not anyone in the room because that would be a confession and I doubt it

Time for a new round of "something gay happened on a show, should I allow myself to be excited even if I'll most likely end up disappointed" !

I've been thinking about it, and you know what, I think it's okay to get excited. I've watched and read enough serialized media to know that this excitement rarely ends up justified, but I still think it doesn't negate the emotions that we felt in the moment. I may look back at this post and my gushing in the Dynasty Discord server in three months and feel like an idiot. But an anime made my heart flutter, and that's a very rare occurrence these days for me, so fuck it. I'm excited.

This is about the jellyfish anime btw.

It feels like it should go somewhere? It's clearly being framed as a meaningful moment and not just gals being pals

There was a lot of romantic framing in the episode even before the last scene IMO, like textbook romantic buildup. Honestly the first episode felt to me like it was setting up a romance, but I brushed it off at the time because every yuri fan knows that super gay meet-cutes don't mean shit. Maybe I was onto something though!

Like if this gets no follow-up I think it would just break a basic rule of storytelling. Not that I'm saying it can't happen (remember Gekidol? lol), just that it would be seriously amateurish writing.

Dungeon Meshi is a stretch as well. That series doesn't care about romance much at all. Still great though! It does feel like there's more variety now. Hopefully that continues across the board.

The manga is tagged subtext here, and everyone else I've seen talk about it says it never goes past subtext

Girl band cry[heavy subtext]

Make that canon now.

As side for this season: Ishikawa Puro (creator of Kuttsukiboshi) has an indie yuri series on his youtube channel. While the first two episodes have been out for over a year, about a month ago he added English Subs so that overseas viewers can enjoy his work. Also, a new episode of it just dropped (So far no official subs on it yet but the auto translate for this one honestly wasn't that bad) and let's just say that it adds to this season.

Here's a link to it: https://www.youtube.com/@user-he2fy6tk4o/videos
