So it's Bleach but with Inuyasha's central couple, then?

Yeah, the Arthurian stuff has been surprisingly focused on the knights. Morgan only got a character design recently, Guinevere still doesn't have one, I'm not sure Nimue exists...

So it just sort of stopped? Actually weird how the "we can't swap" thing seemed like it was going to lead up to some big dramatic revelation but then... didn't

People are saying that it looks like it got axed, but I'm not sure that's the case: While the number of unfinished plot threads could be a symptom of cancellation, they could also be evidence that the author just didn't have a plan for anything and decided to call it quits before completely running out of ideas

So, an enjoyable series right up until it abruptly stops. Don't regret reading it, but I'm not sure I'd recommend it

That's an alright premise, but where's the story?

I don't read the novel anymore so idk how important she might be later, but I was hoping we wouldn't need her this time.

She's actually been completely irrelevant to what's been translated of the second volume. Otherwise I wouldn't have wondered about her inclusion

On the hair, I think the Mani version made Hino and Nagafuji look too much like Adachi. Everyone is easy to tell apart at a glance like this

Oh, we're still doing Future Fishing. Why?

True fact: Human meat is awful.
Sharks just attack and bite, it is very rare one shark to eat a human because the taste is terrible.

Sharks are lookin' for fat. Humans are too low-calorie. By most accounts humans taste a lot like pig, hardly "terrible"

Kinda went off the rails in the last three chapters. Not really built to handle that kind of drama

DIdwe have some news about YuruCamp S2 ? They announced it back in October 2018 and all we have is the date for Heya Camp in January 2020.

Uh, the news I'm finding from 10/08 is of a film and the shorts. In which case this wait is perfectly normal

Considering they made a statement that their movies will come out without delay, there must have been some precautions at the very least. These days you don't keep all this stuff in one place. I mean it's kind of a given you make safety copies.

Wait, really? I hadn't heard that, but had heard about a bunch of other KyoAni related stuff getting indefinitely delayed

There is no reason to assume Dragon Maid S2 won't come out. It wasn't even confirmed that it was made by KyoAni in the first place, but either way, it's not like all their staff died...

The fire did more than kill people; the studio was the main pipeline of their workflow and housed most of their keyframes. Anything they were working on can probably be assumed to be cancelled. ...But, yes, it's unclear if KyoAni was working on MaiDragon S2 in the first place, and I personally doubt it

Man, that did not look like a 4. I've been through a 7 and the potted plants were all fine. Low centers of gravity

Also, why is this turning into a harem?

Oh, wow, this isn't something I ever expected to see. I was shipping it by the end of the game, so, not complaining

This needs an anime so we can properly appreciate Mimi's healing abilities

Summer season this year is pretty boring. I wish one day they start animating manhwas and manhuas as well, because this Japanese highschool theme is getting repetitive.

Really? There's a ton of interesting stuff going on this season, much of which doesn't involve Japanese highschoolers. What are you looking for?

Astral Buddy is fairly decent, but kind of confusing at points (and I have read Railgun). Very gay, though

I'd say Railgun is better (but not as gay)

So this season there is for us Sounan desu ka, Granbelm and Machikado Mazoku, anything else?

Symphogear

Re:Stage has some heavy subtext with just the first episode, and is surprisingly non-terrible

Might be able to read something into JoshiMuda, but it's possibly the worst thing currently airing (though it's been an excellent season so that's not saying much)

Dumbbell added a bunch of CGDCT elements to the story so now the main characters come off as vaguely bi instead of just straight. Later girls might be gayer?

nobu stole okita from nobu

Luckily there's a backup Okita

And the 2 post credit scenes are the biggest cliffhangers in MCU. Not even a hint yet, hope the wait for the next announcement isn't longer than like 2 weeks...==

Slightly less; they're almost certainly announcing something on the 20th at SDCC

I think I'd like this if the the translator notes weren't the most important part

In further "yuri is alive and well" news, Mamoru Oshii is working on a yuri comedy about vampires

Deja vu? I feel like we just had a vampire yuri (subtext) just last winter.
I guess vampires really are pretty gay.

When one of the first vampires stories is like 50% yuri slice of life...

Actually, let's go over the stuff koneko was freaking out about:

Release the Spyce was genuinely not very good and I'd have been more upset if it did well

Endro, Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-san, and Comic Girls all fall under the "comedies underperform" clause. Anime discs are really expensive, which means that something a few people are really into will do better than something a lot of people are moderately fond of, and comedies are generally on the wrong side of this

Harukana Receive was, again, not especially good. All the drama was dealt with early on, leaving most of the series bereft of any emotional weight

So, yeah, all of this is stuff that could be reasonably expected to sell poorly for reasons entirely unrelated to yuri

Merch and music sales(symphogear is a big one) are also sources of income. I would say jts very hard for us outsiders to judge whether a series flopped or not just purely based on disc sales.

Let's not forget mobage and stage shows. How well did Starlight do? No one knows!
