Hisone and Masotan is also written by Mari Okada. On the bad side, it's Mari Okada. On the good side, she does put some gay content in her works.

Hey now, I like Okada. Most of the time. On the other hand, I've never been impressed by her attempts at romance

Also, Happy Sugar Life just got an announcement for an anime adaptation.

Sources here are a bit iffy, but I don't know why someone would fake that

So, neat! I like the manga and am somewhat worried about how they'll adapt it

Yuri and yuri adjacent series next season:

Amanchu - This is getting a sequel

Comic Girls - Fairly typical CGDCT series, with all that applies

Cutie Honey Universe - Maybe? The franchise is known to have some interesting subtext, but there's some prominent males in the promotional material

Hisone & Masotan - Mostly female cast; I don't expect much romantic, but it could be shippable. More than anything I'm expecting it to be interesting, though, as an original series with a solid staff

Lost Song - Original series with a pair of female leads, which tends to end up yuri-ish. Netflix licensed it, though, so watching it requires either fansubs or waiting half a year

Lostorage conflated WIXOSS - The first Lostorage have some striking subtext, and it's bringing back characters from Selector material, including the rather gay Peeping Analyze. But it has the same writer as the previous season and consequentially probably won't be good

Mahou Shoujo Site - Has a yuri relationship between the main characters in the background. But mostly it's really dark, especially early on

Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online - Mostly female cast, does not have Kirito. Not really expecting any romance here, but might be shippable

Tachibanakan To Lie Angle - Yuri fanservice! And it's shorts from the people that did the NTR anime

Uma Musume Pretty Derby - One of those light and fluffy all-girl series. I'd expect subtext at a bare minimum

Other stuff of note: Golden Kamuy looks good, there's a new Gundam Build Fighters, and a Steins;Gate sequel

Maya x Saijo OTP doujins when?

Probably sometime after the anime starts in July

Weird to see Yukine be so dere, but it's cute

Feels like a (short) one-shot, but I'm not complaining about there being more chapters

Random pairing, but amusing enough

I feel like there should be a height gap here

So...

What series has been (and still is) gay this season?

Citrus and sometimes Slow Start

This week's Antarctica made me wonder why we were supposed to care about the guy with a crush on Gin all of a sudden, it was weird. It felt pointless even by obligatory romantic subplot standards. All it did was strengthen my belief that Gin had unrequited feelings for Shirase's mom (which would be depressing). The last scene was great though!

You weren't supposed to care about the guy with a crush on Gin. I mean, the characters sure didn't. I'm pretty certain that what you got out of it was intended

My understanding is that using IIII instead of IV for clocks is an older style that remains common in Japan

I can't believe that Blanco was memed into existence in Dragon Ball

Yay, another goddamn recolour

Maybe it was the main plot, a harem girl falls for a teacher who is not interested (...yet?)and lewd things happen, and then the editor said "too strong for kirara!" so they made it a side dish and instead we get a very average main character worrying probably for nothing at the end of the day.

Eh, it really feels like this part was created later. Eiko was introduced with Kamu, and this whole thing is a bit too tonally dissonant

Huh, yeah, that was easily the best episode of Slow Start so far

The stuff involving Eiko really feels like it should be it's own story, though. It's just so disconnected from the rest of the series

Interesting little story. Feel like it could use a sequel to expand on the romance element, but I'm not sure I'd trust Kodama to handle it well

How old are they supposed to be? This feels like elementary-school flirting

Cute, decent gimmick. Thumbs up

Better than what's coming up IRL, I guess

I'm not convinced this isn't canon

Its more that the overarching plot of Sunshine ultimately rendered half the girls worthless. Besides Chika, the only ones able to actually interact with it were the Third-Years (who got the majority of the focus). Even Ruby's relevance only came in extension to Dia. You, Riko, Yoshiko and Hanamaru meant literally nothing by the end.

...The third-year focus was only in S1, and Riko still got more focus than any of them. And Kanan was never given anything to do

Huh. That was odd

Slow start promotional stuff https://i.imgur.com/8UQnAC0.jpg I guess this count as spoilers but it raises my hype a lot When the hunter becomes the prey

That's not where I expected that to go, but it does make me a lot more interested in the series

is Citrus the only ongoing anime with yuri content at the moment? Not counting regular CGDCT shipping, of course.

As far as I know Citrus is the only thing airing with confirmed yuri couples. I have to note that Maerchen Maedchen has some pretty eyebrow-raising moments, though

Sh*t!! Is that the new PreCure already?

It seems fairly decent. Solid direction, not too ugly, characters are tolerable. Probably going to be one of the better installments

Yeah, I like it well enough, but it really feels like I'm missing some context here

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2018-01-31/sword-art-online-alternative-gun-gale-online-reveals-visual-studio-3hz/.127165 Nice the studio that made FlipFlap and Princess Principal!! I'm not expecting real yuri here, I didn't read the novels but there's more chance of Kirito coming out of nowhere and claiming all the girls into his harem than getting something beyond subtext...It's sao after all, a spin off but still SAO.

Pretty certain Kirito doesn't show up. Like, multiple people that've read the source material have said this

I wouldn't read too much into 3Hz being the studio; they don't have much in the way of recurring staff

Can Namori even design male character anyway ? Honest question, I don't remember ever seeing one in her works

She has some, you could probably find it on dan/gelbooru.

Not many! Like, I found 4 of her images with guys in them, out of nearly 600 on danbooru. And the recent ones look a lot like girls

Of note, the title seems to have been chosen so that the short form includes "lily" (ririsupa. riri=lily)
