Like, how the hell they'll make Tama a LRIG again?

Remember how LRIGs work in Lostorage? Tama just needs to be important to Ruu

Point is that human Tama is around already. So the show would have two Tama.

Not that I would mind, but sounds weird.

And now that I watched the episode, they actually made no efforts to explain the story if you haven't read the manga, what is weird.
I didn't see any problem with this episode in particular, mostly because nothing happened. I'm still afraid of them bringing old characters back because they can ruin them. Also, a new protagonist would have better potential.

Yeah, Comic Girls turned out surprisingly well. Definite watch

Meanwhile, Lostorage is not getting better and Mahou Shoujo Site is possibly too faithful to it's source material

Lostorage first episode is just the OVA released last year, and the point was making an interlude between both stories.
We should see the actual new series next week.
I was reading Peeping Analyze and that was amazing, actually, so I at least will hope for something good now that Kiyori is the MC.

I really like this series i would love for Takano to try to find a way to save both girls from dying within a year, and also how about vampire-chan and junior-chan do some actual kissing its a yuri manga and they definitely love each other I would love to see it.

Chapter 11

Just would like to say that what western call "traps" (this term isn't used in Japan) aren't really trans most of the time, since the characters identify themselves as men. They're more like crossdresser. Although some could say that some trans persons would act like that for lack of acceptance, but since we're talking about characters, the author's view is important.
There's some offensive cases, though, like the one in Bland S.
Actual trans characters are rare in anime and manga. And when they do appear, it's pretty low key, so we don't know if they're really intended as that.

The point is, this wasn't intended to be subtext at all. I do believe the author really just wanted to make a story about friendship, and that's okay.
What is not okay is the way she choose to deal with people shipping her characters. The whole "you're a boy, I'm a girl, so of course our love is different" is kinda homophobic.
And if the only reason she did that is so that people would stop shipping the girls, it also gives a bad taste. Most author enable fan ships, even if not intentional, instead of trying to kill it. There's also the fact that the boy is a kid.

But who knows what's on her mind.

Why female mangaka like to turn from Yuri to het NTR.

Because this was never meant to be yuri?

Like, do you even read what I wrote? Those two girls says: "onii-chan" and "onii-sama". They're talking about the trainer. There's not "onee-chan" option. This is the exact same format as idolm@ster.

You know, I play Honkai Impact, too. I played Love Live in the past. I play Bandori, Magia Record and Granblue Fantasy. I know mobage can be something more than player pandering. But that's why it's easy to realize when that's the case.
Also, you realized what the yuri girl says? She says she's envious because the trainer has a harem of horse girls, so she wants to be a trainer, too. She admits (at least in her vision) that the girls are the trainer's harem.

I literally said "Trainer-san" is gender neutral and "onii-san" isn't. You also said that all the girls mostly call the PC "trainer-san". Which is It? Do they called him mostly "trainer-san" or "onii-chan"? I just don't think you are being honest right now.

As I said, some girls call him trainer-san, and the younger girls (call it loli if you want) call him "onii-chan". There's no doubt that the player character is male and there's no gender selection. That's a fact.

Here the imouto character, or whatever: https://umamusume.jp/character/currenchan/
Another one: https://umamusume.jp/character/riceshower/

It's not even bait, because anyone who knows a little about these games can see what's about. These girls are every mobage stereotype ever.

Here's your yuri character, btw: https://umamusume.jp/character/agnesdigital/
You better hope for her appearance in an episode, because you probably won't get another one. In fact, her sentence: "I want to become a trainer, too", already shows that the trainer is the one getting the girls affection.
The chances that she'll also love the trainer is high, though.

"Trainer-san" is gender neutral. The only argument you have for otaku self insert is the girls using "onii-chan" once in a blue moon.

How is it gender neutral if some call him onii-chan? It's not once in a blue moon, it's how all the younger girls call him.

It's clear you are making an argument based on other games and not this game. Worse, you are then projecting your judgement of the game onto the anime that has male and female trainers.

You can't deny the intention of a work. Im@s has female producer. It doesn't chance the fact that you can only be male in the actual game, so a female producer would never be MC.

But since you tried painting the young horse girl being raised by her second mother as creepy Im not sure what to say at this point.

The whole horse thing is already creepy, but then you have things like the groping (the girls kick him? Right, like horses do. How about making other people actually react to his actions, that are clearly wrong? He did that in public and no one cared). And phrases like "hold tight to her reins". It might no be the intention, but it is creepy.

Thing is, when you keep defending that she has two moms, you're implying the show is relevant to yuri. I'm just saying it's not. I'm pretty sure they'll never imply the two mother's were a couple, to begin with. It's just a gimmicky and a way to not put more male except for the self-insert.

I actually followed the game updates because I do like mobile games and I keep wondering if they'll be of my interest. I can assure you it's not like Love Live, as the girls' voices are already otaku pandering, like saying Trainer-san for pretty much everything, or the younger girls calling the player "onii-chan". At best, it'll be like im@s. Also, the other recently released Cygames game is a full harem, and the PV had the girls hugging each other, too.
You can't really ignore the game and watch the anime since the anime only exists as an advertising, but still. Again, you can ship what you want, but since you're recommending it to yuri fans, I just want to warn that this is made to self-insert otaku, no yuri fans. So most people will probably feel betrayed if they watch without that in mind. I mean, yuri fans already make a lot of drama by watching something that was not meant to them and...well...realizing it was not meant to them.

The game is actually coming out soon, and the whole point of the anime is promoting it. Well, regardless of you finding it creepy or not, even though the idea is, this is just another ad for a mobage, and expecting yuri from it is asking for deception. The game site is already full player pandering (player is fixed male) in the girls voices, and that's pretty much what this will be. You'll find a lot of friendship, of course, because the girls need to be available to the player.

Well, guess nothing stop people from shipping, but I wouldn't recommend it to yuri fans. (And to no one who has no intention of playing the game, actually.)

The part about Special Week's parents in Ume musume was rather interesting, to put it lightly.

I still find it creepy in general, like these girls are supposed to be more horse than human. Like, even in this scene, since one of them is human, it could be seen as a owner making her horse breed to get a new horse. Then she sends her horse to the trainer so she'll learn how to race.
That's probably why the game is creepy all around, with the "raise your own horse girl" line.
I really won't bother watching it.

Funny how the show bothered to explain how these girls are born and where they come from and yet you want to put some creepy spin on it that doesnt actually exist.

Hey, that's how the game sells it.
And then there's the trainer groping the girl's legs, and no one cares because...well, he's a trainer and she's a horse, I guess.
That and all the time he talks about them as if they're horses.

Finished Kokkoku and i fucking loved it.

Any yuri/subtext in it?

No
Missed opportunity, even, since both girls end up single and raising a child. They should just make them raising the children together.

We already have Release the Spyce for autumn

I don't recall there being a season announcement?

We already have Release the Spyce for autumn. Great chance of Blackfox going to be there, too.
There's also 22/7 coming soon. Their last single was a "very gay song": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRKYPY1orHo

It's not my words, one of the seiyuu herself said it: https://twitter.com/wheeddiyeon/status/973957425949589504

I didn't know about 22/7 but if those characters are going to have an anime sometime I'M HYPED!

There's two PVs for the anime already. Both pretty beautiful.

The results for the Anime Japan 2018 poll where you could vote which manga you want to see animated have been revealed. Bloom Into You place 9th on the poll!
Sauce: https://www.anime-japan.jp/main/ajranking/

It's in alphabetical order. They'll reveal the ranking in the event. So far we only know this is the top 10.

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.

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

I won't judge what makes someone uncomfortable or not, since I gave up on two mangas this month because the author had some fucked up views.
But the way this story was going was clear from the beginning. Just like TodoIto will clearly go the same way even tho some people don't want it.

Now, I don't want to ruin it, but it doesn't make much sense that her witch form is the exact same as her doppel form.

I'm pretty sure Nanase figured things out very early on. He may have even had a sense of Hana's orientation before the start of the story. The opening scene with Hana and her classmate hints that she already has a particular interest in other girls and her familiarity with Nanase is established quickly after that.

He wasn't looking for reciprocation when he confessed, he just wanted to make his feelings known, and give Hana the motivation she needed to power through Shiori's dismissals deflection.

Bro knew what was up.

Yeah, when I read it the first time on Yuri Hime, that's how I saw it. She was unsure if she was really in love with Shiori after being told she was just "in love with love", so he confesses to her. Being confessed and having the opportunity of being in a romance, she was sure she wasn't in love with love because it had to be Shiori. I don't even know if he really loved her that way or he was just doing it to help her, but he clearly had no delusion of being reciprocated. His face at the end tells everything.

And in the end, he didn't really look like he was in love with her in the whole thing.

Problem is I'm pretty sure all those scenes had a different objective. They were meant to imply Izetta would die in that very fight. The way they build those scenes and the way they had that little hint that Izetta is fine seems to indicate that. I'm pretty sure the "Izetta is still alive" is meant to be some kind of "miracle".

Let's not forget this is the guy who brought everyone back alive in Mai-Hime just because. That made no sense at all. And most of his other stories are full of deus ex machina in the end. Again, the ending is ambiguous enough, but given the writer's record, I'm pretty sure if we ever get a sequel (we won't), Izetta will be fine and will stay like that until the end.

Well, they can have another opinion, and people love to make things more dramatic, but the evidence says otherwise.

This photo couldn't be taken any other time aside from after the last battle, given the castle's state behind.

There's even a doujin here that points this up.

Edit: Actually, it's not here anymore. It was purged in the event we shouldn't talk about again.
