How are the robots sweating

Yashiro is more tolerable with the anime's tone already leaning towards the surreal

That's not the same Ishtar as in the other uses of that tag

I've been enjoying the sudden resurgence of MizuLillie

Chapter 2 should probably be tagged Marine x Pekora

But the battle pass is terrible

...

What's the monthly card?

I was not expecting to see HypMic art here

Indeed

Getting Utena vibes

Merlin acts basically the same regardless of gender, so I'm not sure they'd get along any better than usual

So Prototype Merlin finally showed up?

Arcade exclusive!

I've seen art of this ship a few times now; have they been flirting with each other?

Well, the first episode had one girl confess her love to another, so I think we can safely conclude that it's going to have yuri

So, it's okay. Definitely otaku-pandering, but there's clear effort put into it, which is more than you can say about most of these sort of things

(though those who read the novels would know)

Wait, novels? This is the first I've heard of them

This is canon, but deeply fucked up

I have so many questions: Is that lion girl different or is it the same as the previous page?

The characters in the top panel are the same as the previous page, but the lion girl is a new, third character

I mean, I was certainly shipping it by the end of Future Connected

Kinda sad to see that WIXOSS got an idol anime because idol animes are what works best in the industry.

The thing about idols is that the public isn't really all that super-hungry for them, but they keep getting pushed because the profit margins for music are absurd. If you see a franchise pivot towards idols it's generally because it's dying and they want to pump more money from the remaining fans

Mai-hime

I remember liking it when I watched it, but that was a while ago. In retrospect, it's one that would have benefited from having come out more recently, since it's flaws are largely things the industry has since moved past

ANYWAY, guess who's getting a new anime? WIXOSS!

If we're at the point that that idols with giant breasts look like the best way forward it might be time to let the franchise die

More depth than I expected from a silly fetish manga

Hm, I like the central character drama, but I feel like the attempt to have a plot beyond that was a mistake. The scope is too large and our apparent villain feels like she came from a different series

Would read a full series

They debuted two days ago, and we're already seeing people ship them

New Love Live Anime trailer https://youtu.be/vUZtDcPtctU there's our protagonist

Wait, this is starting in less than a month!? I was expecting a bit more build-up here!

So, uh, it looks fine. Kinda a bad season to be dropping a cute girls series, though

I forgot how it was in the anime or other spin-offs

Anime uses PoV shots for the two or three times they have the admiral show up. Other spinoffs don't have any kind of consistency between them

Surreal. I like it

Okay, next season:

So GochiUsa and Strike Witches are coming back and can probably be assumed to be as gay as they ever were

Adachi and Shimamura is based on a yuri series... I have no idea how fast the anime will be paced and thus how far the titular girls' relationship will progress, but the core of the series is a yuri relationship

Assault Lily Bouquet is a modern all-female action anime that literally has "lily" in the title. I'll be pretty surprised if it doesn't at least have heavy subtext

Senyoku no Sigrdrifa is also a modern all-female action anime, which generally means at least a bit of yuri subtext

Maesetsu is cute girls doing stand-up, apparently. With everyone conveniently paired up, it should at least be easy to ship

Ochikobore Fruit Tart is a Kirara series from the creator of Hanayamata. I didn't notice even any subtext in the handful of chapters I read, but it's definitely possible something will pop up later

I'm really not sure what to make of Hanyou no Yashahime. Female-led sequel to 00s shounen, airing in primetime in 2020. Who is this aimed for, what are it's storytelling sensibilities like? Should at least be shippable, though

Iwa-Kakeru is an all-female sports anime. From what I've seen it's pretty focused on the sports, but it does tend towards CGDCT-type character writing, so some yuri is entirely possible. ...I'm kinda expecting it to be one of the worst shows of the season, though

Majo no Tabitabi is one of those series that's basically a bunch of short stories tied together by the main character travelling. Apparently it has some recurring characters, all of whom are female. Something might happen there? Should be pretty, at least

Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear: Generic isekai, but with cute girls! Most of them are lolis, though. Even if there is some yuri, I'm not sure I'd be interested in it (also I don't have high hopes for this one in general)

As honorable mentions, Maoujou de Oyasumi has a minor character with a yuri crush, and Munou na Nana includes a girl that's very fixated on the title character. ...The first one is probably going to be a significantly better anime than the second, though
