She was so focused on living a normal life that the Universe itself changed to suit her desires. Now she can live her normal yuri life that she didn't even realise she wanted

That's some Haruhi Suzumiya shit!

Ah words, what troublesome things they are.
Basically some people here conflate "normal" and "ordinary" with natural. Homosexuality is natural, but not normal or ordinary. That's all there is to it.
Heterosexuality holds the absolute majority by a ridiculous margin, so it has to be treated as the standard which all other varieties deviate from. Hence the "abnormal" thing. Just as was brought up already, abnormal doesn't mean bad.

If we relate this issue to the main character, it seems that she is caught up in a delusion of normality that only focuses on homosexuality, because that's literally what's being shoved in her face. When she first saw her friends kissing and saying they are a couple she said that she isn't opposed to it, but finds it weird. On one hand surely because homosexuality is abnormal, but even more so because they weren't a couple yesterday. She is justified in finding all of these events, this changed world, completely abnormal.
If this was not a yuri manga that focuses on sexuality above all else, she would probably be challenged with other things that defy a "normal" lifestyle as well.

If I learned anything from isekais is that any entity on god-like level is bored af and does stuff like that for shit and giggles.

This seems like a reasonable reading of a large portion of real mythologies too - even without going into actual "trickster figures" whose whole thing tends to be starting some shit.

The Greek Pantheon basically played a board game called "Humanity" when they weren't fighting each other lol
They especially loved the hero cards.

^Well I knew they had to be from one of the later seasons. I only watched to the end of 5Ds. I kinda still know who Yuma is, but that's it.
Yugioh has never been very kind to its side-characters. You're lucky if they do more than cheer for the protagonist lol

Okay, Yuritopia, got it.
There is just one problem: Who's gonna take out the trash now that men have ceased to exist?

Yeah I had crushes on basically all my teachers and the principal (all women lol maybe that's part of why I'm gay)

I think it might be the other way around lol

Aight! Now that that is done, does anyone know where can I find the Sayaka spin-off (preferably in English)?

I doubt that it would be translated that fast BV. LN's take a lot more work than manga scanlations (most of the time).

Who woulda thunk thought...

Sorry. I can't control myself.

What are you, like 12? Even if you didn't look like a fool for not knowing this was a thing, you still look really immature trying to correct people's grammar on a forum.

In fear of saying something unecessary, Cecile was clearly just saying it in good fun. It wasn't a personal attack I'm sure. If this hadn't been a misunderstanding, I would certainly have appreciated the correction. ^^;;

You do know that I did that on purpose, right? What about the word "woulda" right before it made you assume I was trying to be grammatically accurate? lol

I want season 2 but I wouldn't say the ending was disappointing lol. Ep 13, is satisfyingly good. The way they ended it is brilliant, I would say. They really did a good job adapting both ch23 and ch24 and extra chapters, plus additional scenes. Nakatani herself was so impressed how Katou divided each scenes with great result. I do think it's the best to ended it that way, and to cut on that part of the manga rather than rushing and pushing to the play that will only make the anime a mess. Also the pace they did from the start would going nonsense. They already foreshadowing scenes that would might be happen next, and ended it metaphorically which is "We need to change trains now." If you didn't watch it analytically, or try to delve on it's meaningful ending, then you will only find yourself being disappointed.

I do like how they made the train scene carry way more weight than was originally intended in the manga. That's the kinda stuff a good adaptation does.

A aunt - niece series where the niece is older could be a fun variation. Say the niece's mom has her at 20, and the grandparents had kids fairly early too, so they might only be in their 40's, but then they get a late kid at about the same time, so niece and aunt would be about the same age ...

Is this a Yuri version of Jojo Part 4? Because I'm strangely okay with that~

Who woulda thunk that Canno would be for polyamory, eh? :P

One of the stories in her manga is poly

Thanks Captain Obvious. salutes

rubs eyes

Huh. Did the artstyle change? I could swear it looks sharper. And manager's eyes seem to have more detail?

My visual delusions aside, I can never get enough of this couple!

I guess, if u look at ''Video Rental Shop'', the art is different, but its normal that the art style from an artist changes over time.

No I mean specifically from 5 chapters ago to the latest one. Isn't that transition a bit steep? I feel like I might be going mad...

Finally read the anthology. All of the stories were great in their own way, but my favorite was probably "Let's Write a Script", about the early ideas for the play. Everyone ends up doing their shipping fanfic while Koyomi is like "Yeah, maybe I should write this alone."

My other favorites would be "Bitter Coffee Time" about Riko and Miyako (because any scene with these two is gold) and "Let's Play with Senpai!" although sadly we don't get to see maid!Touko.

And also Canno outing herself as a Touko × Sayaka × Yuu shipper. :þ

Who woulda thunk that Canno would be for polyamory, eh? :P

If it can't produce offspring, is it considered incest?

Incest is any sexual and or romantic relationship with a relative (generally close) whether biologically related or not.

Uhm, not to rain on your parade, but if they aren't blood-related it's Pseudo-incest. Very different.

Tolerably sure most laws and social/cultural norms do not recognise any meaningful difference there.

Where do you live? Most laws actually do make a difference there! For example, if your parents remarried and you got into a relationship with your step-sibling that does not count as legitimate incest and has no law related repercussion in most countries.

Now socially or culturally, I can definitely understand the issue. It certainly has a stigma by default, but it's just not the same. When Pseudo-incest is bad it's usually for different reasons (like age gap, abuse, predatory tendencies etc.).

^The artist. It says it right up there.

They did cut the moment where Touko got suspicious of Yuu yet again

Hm? Where?

Eh? Did I remember wrong? I could swear that during the conversation about how easily Touko can say she loves Yuu they had a strained moment.
Everything's starting to merge in my head from all the times I went through the chapters to check for differences lol

Teens are all thirsty. It's pretty easy to understand, actually.

That's where the "sad" part of the title comes in lol

Aunt x Niece is still pretty borderline for me, but like I got any integrity left to lose after reading 1x1/2 lol

I feel like the title is slightly misleading. She doesn't have trouble understanding high-schoolers, she just doesn't understand her flaming homosexual niece.

This artstyle is like a Christmas dream. Which is mostly like a cake induced coma, but still sweet!

Welp. I must have missed some turbulent topics here, but I don't seem to care all that much.
Instead I'll talk about episode 13!

NOOOOOOOOO! It's over....!

Ahem. I meant to say: Those added scenes did certainly fill it out a bit more and gave it some more foreshadowing for the future plot points and kinda a hint of what the play will end up being like. But that really doesn't matter too much.
I enjoyed the visuals the most about this episode for sure. Just so tranquil, yet mesmerizing. If the previous episodes had somehow not sold someone on the relationship yet, this episode certainly would.

They did cut the moment where Touko got suspicious of Yuu yet again, but I suppose that would have felt a bit repetitive and interfered with the mood they were going for. It's the first real cut during an important moment as far as I can remember.

As someone who values accuracy/faithfulness over a blind need for a conclusion I'm certainly glad they ended it here. Those whiners who will no doubt end up complaining about the cliffhanger have the choice to read the manga or wait for a possible season 2 as usual. For my part I am satisfied with this adaptation and feel simply lucky to live in a time where this kind of story can be made into a quality anime and be acknowledged for its brilliance.

Whether it will be successful enough to warrant a second season, I can't say, but this is a guiding light for Yuri anime. The genre is not dead! It can be this good!

Santa is real to her dammit!

It would be foolish to have Christmas without NanoFate. Balance has been restored.

Mina is the best hype girl, no matter the cause.

Sheesh, this why you undress before you go in. Now you got your uniform dirty.
