I still don't understand how we end up talking suits and uniforms on the Futarabeya thread.

Blame Blax.
Though if someone were to threaten Kasumi in any way, Sakurako would definitely go all Rambo on them. I pity the army that tries to get between them.

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

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.

^You can hover your mouse over the yellow textboxes and there will be a translation... but in summary Reina said that she kissed Kumiko there so she would think of her every time she practiced.

If it wasn't for Dragon Maid I wouldn't have cared for anime. Aside from Dragon Maid the only other anime I've seen in years was Conan.

But man, knowing that Dragon Maid season 2 will never come is quite sad.

Anyone else have a recommendation for a married life feel kind of anime with a lesbian couple? You know, like Dragon Maid.

If you're looking for such incredibly specific guidelines in the yuri genre you might as well give up. If you read manga without such limitations, why are you limiting your variety of anime so much? There are a couple of good yuri anime that are worth watching regardless of "married life" feel.

You don't seriously consider a woman wearing a normal suit drag, do you?
If we are strictly speaking about a neutral suit, the only difference between man and women is the crotch area. It's not drag.

You mean like the one Kasumi wear in my link ?

Yup. That's a pretty standard suit. Nothing drag about it.
As one can see, there is no fly on it for obvious reasons, which is the only thing that really classifies it as a "female" suit. I guess you could call them unisex if you really want.

So going back to the important topic of woman in suit, I think either pants or skirt are fine, but I draw the line on short shorts

At some point it isn't really a suit anymore, but just a suit jacket, eh?
I feel like the short skirt you see on generic office lady attire is too tight. Like it restricts the legs. Pants are honestly just the more sensible option.

tho short shorts are quite great outside of suits

If we're talking suits, we're talking the real thing. Like Maki! Full drag, and if you have a slim body and the right haircut you can pass as a man!

Of course there are usually differences between male and female suits, but that's a fashion thing.

They better riot. The conditions for Amazon employees are absolutely horrific.

There are those who arson neither because of personal reasons nor because they're psychopaths, but are simply using arson as a distraction tactic within a bigger plan. Just look at [Julie d'Aubigny]

Thanks for that pointless tidbit. We are talking about actual arson cases here, not distractions. That's like saying bomb attacks can also be distractions. Anything can be a distraction. Going into a shopping mall and shooting everyone there can be a distraction.

As long as it isn't like the suit that Sakurako wore during their University entrance ceremony, I'm good. Really don't like the generic "Office lady" outfit. Also not all girls can pull it off.

Something about a little girl being postman for youkai if I understand correctly, no idea if there is any yuri in it or not

Thanks for the info.

If they found a suspect then it was personal by default. The scariest types of arson are those without personal reasons. Psychopaths without any motive are the ones that are the hardest to catch.

^Well then take a step back and calm down. There are good het ships in Gintama.

^That sounds like Machikado Mazoku/"The demon girl next door", which just got an anime adaptation. Also she isn't a demon lord, just a normal demon.

^You are surprisingly not the only one who thought that. The fact that Poppy came to Hanna in her night gown during one episode tells us that they must share a room. And if they don't that's just even more suspicious. Buut, the room only showed one bed. Hmmmm.
Though Hanna is generally portrayed as clueless about love towards herself in the games, she is a whole lot more competent in Manaria Friends, so who knows?

^I was talking about To Aru protagonists.... And Shirou is just fine. Most people can't get over his initial impression though, so I don't blame them. The writing of the VN is pretty good. Shirou is a good deconstruction of the hero ideal.

I barely read anything that was released from 2016-2018. Hit me with your best (cute) oneshots and doujins!

Well it was just a re-release and I have no idea when the original one actually came out, but...

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/5_seconds_before_a_witch_falls_in_love

This one is ungodly cute. Tsundere stuff is hit and miss, but this one is all hit. Of course that stuff is my weakness, so take the full bias into account.

Ok, that makes sense then if you are comparing to other manga couples, since it’s always so dramatic.

Yeah drama is the lifeblood of romance hahaha

Though Touko and Yuu could still become unique as a couple if they actually came out to their families... I think I've never seen that in any serious romance story (aside from Citrus (serious might be an overstatement)). At least not ones where the families are actually grounded.

We're saying the same thing--they are totally different as a couple because of the path they have taken to get here.

Sure, the tightly wound hyper-competent sempai gets together with her adorable, reliable, supportive kouhai--that pretty much describes a bunch of series (the adequate but thoroughly unremarkable First Love Sisters springs immediately to mind).

But as elements of the narrative (rather than as imaginary people) they're wholly different.

I'm afraid we are not talking about the same thing then. My bad.
Certainly, the narrative and the character growth along the way are part of their relationship and define them. I agree with that.
My point was rather that as they are now (post mutual confession) they are acting like many other couples and it also doesn't feel like they are that different. It's hard to describe, but I see a difference between them as a couple and as characters. Their dynamic, interactions and relationship are really not special anymore. And to a certain extent, I believe that was the end goal... the normal floaty romance that Yuu always wished for and a stable normal relationship that Touko had always needed.

I think they are special, in the sense that they had to go through much soul searching to accept to be together. While my experience is that a significant number of couples barely know each other’s fragile points even after a long time together, since the relationship doesn’t require this degree of letting their guards down in order to perpetuate itself.

Well now, we are talking about fiction here, not some RL flings. Character development and getting to know each other intimately are par for the course in this genre. I was naturally talking in context of their contemporaries.

I continually mention how absolutely bizarre the enabling premise of this story is--two girls who mistakenly believe they're aromantic meet

I wouldn't say Touko ever thought of herself as aromantic, like Yuu suspected herself to be. Rather I think she was intentionally keeping her distance out of fear of being loved.

And the result is that at this point we get to see a couple unlike pretty much any one we've ever seen even though they're doing the same things and acting the same ways we've seen couples do a million times before.

Is that so? I don't really feel like Yuu and Touko are anything special right now. They are a wonderful couple and that's all they have to be. The path to this point has been unprecedented and fascinating, but in essence, they are not that unique as a couple. At least not anymore.

Just to be clear, I don't see that as a detriment.

^Whoa whoa whoa... let's not go crazy. Even with the tightest yuri goggles there was barely any subtext in Berseria. Comparing it to Ristelle is dragging Ristelle down...

^Please don't put such curses on people. That's too cruel.

When I see the Nice boat tag I get some very different flashbacks. Guess this site uses that tag a bit differently.

^I only do that when something really catches my eye. It's not like Im desperately craving Fairy Tail yuri of all things.

So in essence only Remi wanted her back.
Those reactions were priceless though lol

So this is "not awkward"? I don't wanna see mortified.

KInd of a power move to let the one you want to give them to help you make the cookies. lol
