Anyone notice that that the Tachibana sisters are the only characters not shown? Just found that amusing.

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.

Funny realization I had regarding Love Live Sunshine. Hanamaru's backstory states that she spent her entire life a background character, and she joins to actually star on stage.

She ends up little more than a background character anyway by the rest of the series.

Wonder how many people that pissed off.

Can't wait to see people's reaction to Sarina, AKA one of the most realistically despicable bullies I've seen in fiction.

Lets just say, if you think Satou deserves a happy ending, then you miss the point entirely.

Wait, people make strategy guides for dating sims? I thought you just picked every option relevant to the girl in question.

Onoda and Nanasawa are rapidly becoming one of the series best pairings. Its so genuine and sweet.

In fairness, Sakura Trick isn't much more than fap material anyway...

One of 'em is. All the girls on left side have male love interests.

Hate to be killjoy, but half of the girls in that image have male love interests.

Could one make a critical analysis on Girls Last Tour? It certainty is a work I feel that leaves you with emotions.

I'm just happy they're happy

Yuri or subtext?

There was literally no time for yuri at all in the last episode, I guess is just subtext unless you count the game content where they're dressed as brides

Togo is confirmed by her voice actor to be in love with Yuna.

From what I know, Yoshiko and Riko is a thing mostly because the seiyuu ship it.

I'm torn about the Sunshine movie, simply because I feel the entire story wrapped itself up perfectly. I honestly don't see what the point would be.

I take objection to people dissing works like Danganronpa. (Though, in fairness, I'm fairly sure Ousama Game predates DR)

You know, despite Ousama Game being the actual worst thing ever, I STILL feel Shojo Shikaku is the worst killing game story ever made. At least Ousama Game tried. It didn't try very well, but still.

I think that ties to the general perception of damaged men being "attractive" to women. Look at Fifty Shades of Grey for an example of that trope.

One person on Eroge Download put it like this "The first time a woman in a hentai is raped, she hates it. Second time, she enjoys it. Third time, she becomes an obsessive slut hungry for cock." On that same note, there are a disturbing amount of H-Games built on raping woman, which has some VERY unsettling implications.

@Serenata You is worse. She and Maru could form a club of characters the writers neglected and ignored.

That raises a lot of unsettling implications regarding that particular subset of otaku and especially fujoshi culture as a whole.

So it's the same reason why at least 50% of hentai includes rape?

Because, if that is the justification, what the fuck. I'm 100% fine with porn, but fetishizing actual crimes is kinda revolting, no matter the gender.

Yaoi is literally just exploitative gay porn marketed to women. Unless you're fine with gross lesbian porn directed to men, you really shouldn't read it.

Actually, that raises a valid question. Why is there plenty of yuri material written by women for women, but literally all yaoi is catered to the female gaze, with literally no male writers involved period?

Having seen the latest Sunshine episode, I honestly wish we got to know what the other girls prospects for the future are. I feel not planning that when the school's closing and Aquours is fated to end is a tad shortsighted.

Silly fools, You can't be in a ship, she's a background character!
