The worst anime ever is for me Sakura trick, followed by Boku no Pico, Shitai wo Arau and a dumb NSFW harem with an incest ending I can't remember the name. Edit : Yosuga no Sora.

Worst anime of 2016 is Big Order, this show is such a troll it's funny.

Edit : How could I forget Pupa in the worst anime category.

I didn't know what Shitai wo Arau was before I saw this and, wow, thanks for telling me about it... personally, I put hentai in a different category from anime. I don't waste my time watching hentai because they're all het shit and shit regardless of the het stuff, but I feel like it does a disservice to actual, good anime to group hentai with it... it's like if Western romance and porn were in the same genre or whatnot.

@ZR Tbh, the most prominent thing I took away from Sakura Trick is that Kotone's seiyuu, Aisaka Yuuka is an amazing seiyuu + singer and looks stunningly beautiful. Still, it was a good anime and was cute.

As for my least fav anime...I'd say Yuuki Yuuna, bloody waste of time watching and I would've prefered seeing everyone live forever without functions than that BS "Happy End" crap that the final 2 eps threw out; never once have I felt more rage from watching something.

I loved that anime so much. It filled my Madoka-ish series quota and it was a quality show in its own right... plus, there was a bit of yuri subtext sprinkled here and there. Alas, it didn't have my favorite kind of romance, "girl 1's crush gets killed, girl goes back in time to save her but keeps fucking up, girl finally kind of succeeds in the end after many, many years." I've only read two things that had a story like that. While I realize that this would kind of get old if I kept seeing it over and over again... well, it was just different enough in these stories to be interesting. Besides, Tougou filled the Homura role fairly well for a time. I agree that the ending was terrible, but I did read a few theories that made it at least a bit better... well, I just hope Season 2's gonna come some time.

@Minutoh If you liked something like The Evil Dead, HoTD is great, it's pretty much a giant tribute to the hack-and-slash, high-octane zombie murder fest; as for the ecchi aspects, Im pretty sure Tetsuo Araki made it as over-the-top as possible just because. And it's not really a harem anime, there's a Love Triangle between Takeshi, Rei and Saeko and that's pretty much it. Saya and Shizuka might have low-key yuri desires towards a special someone in their lives, the former towards her mom and the latter towards her military-base friend, if the smoke/plant-induced dream trip in the OVA is to be taken seriously.

And thanks! My blog is also 100% purely yuri with 3 pics being reblogged everyday ^ _ ^ once every month or so I'll also reblog seiyuu pics which tend contain around 15 reblogs in a single day, usually followed by an equal number of yuri pics the next day.

The former toward... her mom, huh? The fact that this actually made me want to see the show a bit just confirms what I've known for a long time: I no longer have any standards at all when it comes to yuri! I'm not sure whether that's good or bad.

I never watched The Evil Dead before, but... I really should. High-octane zombie murderfests are always fun watches though, so, who knows, maybe I'll watch it at some point in the future!

Huh, I thought that this was over for some reason... well, good thing it's not! I don't really remember what happened in the previous chapters, so I suppose it's time for a reread!

Also, is it just me or is that Kale and Yurika from YKA on the second page of the new chapter? As I said, I don't remember the previous chapters, so it's more likely that they're just characters that look similar to them, but, yeah, I'm curious about those two.

since I'm male myself :(.

The number of Y chromosomes / crude beings increased from 2 to 4 in one day ! Let's make a LLL ! Lesbian Lovers League. I believe the ability of a man to like and fully appreciate yuri is a very rare gift, so we should be proud of ourselves, I'm close to awaken my yurinnegan !
And now peace has been reinstated on our thread, and all the tensions faded away

But I got to agree on one point, I really despise homophobia, and more globally any sort of intolerance and believe such inferior beings don't belong on Dynasty. (well, they basically shouldn't be there anyway so we are safe.)

I'm sure some of these inferior beings lurk on Dynasty just for the porn, which makes me quite sad :(. At least they're not posting in the forum, I suppose.

Also, what is the origin of that yurinnegan thing? Is that a reference to something? Very cool design, by the way.

Highschool of The Dead, while not exactly heavily emphasizing on maintaining innocence, is actually one of the more cheerful and upbeat zombie genre entries and tbh, was what introduced me into manga. At it's core, HoTD focuses particularly on the aspect of companionship and maintaining the zestiness that comes with youth, and I found this to be especially nuanced in the anime during the final moments of Ep 12 with the choice of ending theme and the note that it ended on.

So... is HoTD actually a decent anime? All I know about it is the ridiculous oversexualization of the female characters, and that's more than enough to turn me off from watching it. I mean, disregarding the objectification and all, I find it difficult to truly feel the drama when all the female characters are wearing ridiculously skimpy clothing. Well, I do know another thing, and that thing is that it is a HAREM ANIME. Actually, you probably shouldn't even bother with answering me because nothing will convince me to watch a show like this :P

Anyway, even though I never watched any of these anime aside from Gakkou Gurashi, it's still a very interesting interpretation. I'll definitely visit that blog thing you posted in another post when I have time!

^ Being oversensitive is better than being "omg, go back to your Tumblr safe space" like 80% of sad f----rs on the internet imo. Also I agree that idiots posting het NSFW stuff on a yuri site are a nuisance.

Ha, I hate when people say that Tumblr thing so much, even when they are saying it in a joking manner... I just find it highly offensive in most of the contexts in which it is used (though I can't really remember any specific instances for the life of me...)

@ UlquiorraSchiffer1

I'd like to apologize for causing such a ruckus over the past few days... You know, I've always thought that "les" was an offensive term, but apparently it isn't? I mean, I looked it up and there is literally no information on it (aside from the Spanish les), so I guess it's really nothing, then... I could have sworn that it was always said in an offensive way whenever I heard it, but I don't really remember where I heard it now (I think some manga I read used it in a offensive way, but I don't remember...) Anyway, sorry about that, I thought you were saying it in a derogatory manner but you really weren't. Now I feel kind of bad for yelling at my mom whenever she says "les"...

You know, I feel like I'm super oversensitive sometimes (read: all of the time) whenever a filthy man shows up on this site or the yuri subreddit since I'm male myself :(... I'd say it's fairly justified there since they usually post het porn without reading the FUCKING NAME OF THE SUBREDDIT (or, perhaps, in defiance of the name) ... but there's not really anything wrong with other men here. Well, I have to admit that I assumed you were implying something like, "Wow, I can't believe there are LESBIANS here! I thought this was a place for only men to..." But, yeah, that's a dumb assumption and I apologize for assuming that about you... you know, I always like to think of Dynasty Reader and the yuri subreddit as being pure places with no males at all, but, you know, my presence ruins that... and, obviously, even if I was female, that would be an impractical thought anyway. I'd say that reading yuri and feminist and LGBTQ articles for more than a year at this point has alerted me to how stupid most men are, and I'd have to say how my friends talk has really colored my opinion as well... not that they're assholes or anything, but there's certainly some misogyny in their speech (though, again, perhaps it's just me being oversensitive again) and, well, yeah, that's how it is.

... This ended up being much longer than I had intended it to be... Well, the point is I apologize for my rash accusations and I hope you'll forgive me.

Wait you are a.....les? (Sorry if i offend you)

Dude....

...What? I'm just curious, thats all. Not bad intentions, i swear.

I can't help but find this funny

I can't help but find this ridiculously stupid. If I was a mod on this site, the fucking banhammer would have been dropped the instant I saw this (which is one reason why I'm not a mod on this site).

Really ? You would've banned someone for asking if someone's a lesbian on a site ABOUT LESBIANS ? You must be fun at parties.

I think it's more that they were rudely blunt about it, even if the recipient was nice about it and said it was okay.

Yeah, it was more the bluntness and not the asking about the sexuality thing... obviously, I don't have a problem with that part at all. I was more irked by the fact that someone would be surprised that there are lesbians "on a site ABOUT LESBIANS," but I suppose that's just me... I'll stop talking about this thing now.

Maybe it's Silver Fire?

http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/silver_fire#1

Oh yeah, I think this was the one! I remember that "I don't feel like walking" scene and the fight scene. Good stuff... Well, thanks for telling me about it! (and it's by the author who made Bloom into You too, nice)

It was a drama or something where they were angsting and all about how Sakuya was a human and was going to die eventually. I'm trying to recommend it to a friend (hopefully, this will be the start of finally getting one of my friends into yuri... probably not, but I can hope) but I can't remember what it's called... Thank you in advance for your help.

I think you just described 50% of SakuRemi...Could you describe the art, or a scene you remember? There isn't much to work with atm.

I guess that's why I'm having so much trouble trying to find this story... since I can't really remember anything else about it. With that in mind, I'd be fine with really anything half-decent with this basic premise. I suppose looking through the SakuRemi Drama stories would probably be a good idea here...

Everything about this is amazing. I even loved Hitomi's "allergic to yuri" bit, especially considering she got a crush on Homura in one of the alternate timelines.

Seriously!? How come I missed that... I watched the whole series like, tons of times, the movies too and read the manga... when did they say that?

It was in one of the PSP (or was it Vita?) games, if I remember correctly. Can't remember what it was called though. Battle something?

Man, I was so excited to see something new here... "Wow, what could this new thing be!" And then it ended like that... I mean, it doesn't even make me sad at all, it's just a terrible conclusion...

http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/unripe_fruit <- Reminded me a lot of this story where like the Love lost its spark

The funny thing is that I reread that just yesterday, so it was the first thing that came to mind. While the reasons for the older woman feeling like the love lost its spark were different, they are both definitely quite similar.

I felt like Eris revealing that she loved Toto was
... a bit abrupt... especially since it came right after Toto freaking tried to smash Eris' head in with a flower vase. "You were thinking about me so much that you grew hysterical," huh? I feel like Eris a bit messed up too if she thinks that someone trying to kill her = love... Okay, it was probably more because she knew why Toto was trying to kill her, but I still find it very weird. I suppose it was her way of proving that Toto's love for her was real... Oh well, it's yuri and it ended happily so everything's good.

A little girl stabbing innocent stuffed animals to death... that game's unexpectedly dark, huh? Also, what's that snowman thing that Hazuki was talking to? I guess this chapter showed Aoba's dark side with her gleefully scaring the shit out of stuffed animals while wearing the corpse of one of their brethren, but I don't recall Aoba ever playing around with that snowman thing.

...Pretty disappointed that Umiko and Nene's relationship wasn't outright confirmed what with all the hints dropped in Chapters 36 and 37 (Umiko's secret spoon-feeding partner revelation in 36 and Nene's secret goal in 37)... but it's gonna happen eventually! IT'LL HAPPEN EVENTUALLY ALONG WITH RIN X KOU. THERE'S NO DISSUADING ME NOW.

Ah, you were parsing that wrong. I meant that it looks like it's taking heavy inspiration from the works of Studio Trigger (Kill la Kill, Little Witch Academia, etc.)

Ah, that makes much more sense. Kill la Kill and Academia were both quality anime, so I'm hoping this thing will be a good show too.

It's set in 1940 in technically-not-Europe. Guess

Not-World War II, huh? Sounds pretty good to me. Valkyria Chronicles' Not-WWII was done pretty well (man, I need to finish that game some time), so hopefully this anime will have a good Not-WWII story too.

Sora no Method was pretty heavy on the subtext towards the end. And the fact that he has open yuri on his resume at all is fairly unusual

Right, that is true, considering how little yuri anime there is out there as well as the stigma and all...

There's one big moment at the end of the first season; you have to really squint to get anything else

I have very finely tuned yuri goggles, but I don't know if it's really worth watching if there's no explicit yuri in it... I guess I'll just stick to the doujins and treat them as canon (even if I won't really understand what's happening).

I don't know if this is the best place to ask this question, but this is the Cafe, so I'll ask it here... do any of you good folks use reddit? My username's MiniMinute, and I frequent the yuri sub... frequently although it's pretty much dead. I guess there's not really a need for the yuri sub with the Dynasty forums but, still, I think that we should all try to cultivate as many bastions of yuri content as possible!

Flip Flappers: Heavy Trigger inspiration aside, it's a magical girl series about a pair of close friends. And it looks like there might be some sort of fusion aspect to the transformation? They switch hair colours, at least

"Fusion aspect" never bodes well for me. It's usually more of the "kissing to gain powerzzzz" kind of thing rather than "kissing because we FUCKING WANT TO" kind of thing. Also, what is Heavy Trigger? I Googled it, but I can't find any info on it.

Girlish Number: Maybe. It's about female idols but there is a notable male presence and the writer is best known for Oregairu

Eh, I'm not gonna risk it unless yuri word of mouth comes from Dynasty or some other place.

Idol Memories: Seems to be aimed directly at older Aikatsu fans, who tend to be into yuri. And it doesn't have much of a male presence

Does Aikatsu have a lot of yuri? I heard it doesn't have too much, quite unusual for a CGDCT anime... the pairings sure are pretty popular though.

Magical Girl Raising Project: Maybe? Don't really know much about it. No male presence to speak of, though

Isn't that the Battle Royale with magical girls thing? I don't have much hope for yuri if they're all going to be killing each other.

Shuumatsu no Izetta: This one is partially selling itself on being yuri-ish. And, hey, variety

The trailer looks fairly interesting... I can't really tell what it's gonna be about from the trailer, but I'm intrigued.

Soushin Shoujo Matoi: Magical girl, childhood friends, etc. And the director seems to like yuri

What yuri has the director done? From his MAL page, it seems like all he's done is Strawberry Panic and the SonoHana OVA. Everything else is not yuri (as far as I can tell anyway).

Stella No Mahou: Season's requisite CGDCT series. Has the director of Non Non Biyori, so it might be worth watching even if it turns out low on yuri

I could have sworn this thing had the same writer as New Game, but apparently I was wrong! I guess it's just because New Game is cute girls making video games while this thing is cute girls making video games... in high school.

Vivid Strike: It's a Nanoha series... which have never been anywhere near as gay as the fandom would have you think. Not sure if it's going to be any good, either; the PV was worryingly low-budget and the director is a poor choice (great at comedy but poor outside of it, and this looks fairly dark)

The Nanoha series is not as gay as I had always heard it was? I guess that's one less anime in my backlog then!

http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/bloom_into_you_ch15#4 oh gosh sayaka are you ok your shoulder looks ......disjointed looks really painfull damn you should go to the doctor

Oh yeah, I was thinking of that too when I read this chapter... what the heck is up with her right arm? Something looks really off about it.

Simple and effective.

indeed no need for edgy cinderela demi incest parental abuse stocolm syndrom bullshit

Edgy Cinderella demi incest Parental Abuse Stockholm Syndrome Bullshit? What are you referring to? Is it that A Love Smeared in Ashes thing or something else?

Also, Firefall from obscurity into actual death
https://mmos.com/news/firefall-quietly-fades-abyss

"links to the client are dead and Firefall has been removed from Steam."

Finally, a game I spent more than 4000 hours on, and ended up in utter disappointment, a colossal failure that many even forgot about.

I never played Firefall, but I can definitely sympathize with its death... a game I love dearly is ending at the end of the month... Avengers Alliance... yes, it was a Facebook game, but it felt like much more of a game than those other F2P crap games... it was a grindfest, but at least it was a fun grindfest. It actually had a good story for one, so that's something it had over all those other games. I only wish I started playing back in 2012 rather than in June 2016... I would have at least got more done, and I would have felt better about the game ending than I do now with over 100 characters left uncollected.

There's something a little unsatisfying about this. Like they didn't really resolve the issues they had.

Yeah, I was kind of thinking that too. It seemed that Fuuko didn't really think Keiko loved as a person but more as her... I don't know, doubles partner considering the fact that Keiko didn't know anything about her. I didn't really see any indication that she did start seeing her actual personality come through... I don't know, I'm bad at interpreting stuff, so maybe the fact that Keiko remembers their end of the world conversation from middle school proves that she does? Regardless, I felt the same way reading this... but at least it had a cute conclusion.

YEEESSS!!! MARIO MAKER FOR THE 3DS-No online? Great fucking job mate

No online? What's even the point of Mario Maker if you can't share and download levels...
