I just love how the Author blends American culture into the series. I personally find that makes it more relatable to me.

Trigun was fun, but if this pairing was canon the series would have been ten times better.

Edit: Stupid autocorrect "corrected" Trigun to Tribune.

Wait is homophobic censership the reason practically every yuri manga I've seen adapted into an anime only gets one 13 episode season, and ends at the ambiguously close friendship stage of the romance?

This kind of gender bender is always a bit puzzling. If the "turned-into-a-girl" character falls for a guy, is it het or yaoi? And if they fall for a girl, is it het or yuri?

Since the character retains their initial gender identity, then they're for all intent and purpose, a pre-op trans person, so in this particular case, this story is pure het.

And if you consider it yuri, this runs contrary to the belief that "gender isn't tied to the body".

So, in the end, it's not "yuri", "het" or "yaoi", it's just a love story between two people, regardless of gender or body.

I've been asking the same kind of questions with Ranma 1/2 reboot

I'm with Kiana on Ukyo and Ryoga. I'm pretty sure Ranma was too young to even understand what being betrothed to be married meant. And sure it was Ranma and Genma's carelessness that pushed Ryoga into the spring, but it was ridiculous Ryoga went that far to fight Ranma over stupid food. Especially considering it was his fault he missed the challenge.
Besides Ranma gets to be a yuri girl while still keeping his man card. How cool is that! Lol

Hay RiderFan and juniou1210, what's up with hating on poor Ranma? Show my boy/girl some love. Lol

I kind of share the fears, that this series will turn out to be a trojan horse situation. Where the gender bending is just a plot device to allow Yuuri to help "cure" Kyouko of her hatred of men.

I'm not sure this one's for me. The "Good night me" line really gave me unpleasant chills.

I really hope this whole series doesn't end up just being about the one girl fighting off the other girls ridiculously forward advances. It's an okay starting point but I'm more than ready to move on.

It took 5 seasons to get them together. Talk about a slow burn romance. Totally worth the journey.

^I don't know anything about Love Curse: Find Your Soulmate. I'm just going by the pictures. And that poor little girl looks devastated.

Was this even remotely possibly a thing, in the movie, or was this just a product of someone's highly overactive imagination?

This reference might date me.

On loves high wire
Fatal attraction is where I'm at
There's no escaping me.

I just want to be close to you...

Well that's kind of cute, but I'll stick with canon pairings. Because Shampoo and Akane are so much cuter as frenemies

It's sad to say but the fact that they both slept with Anthy's brother, in the series taints the whole franchise for me.

I was just thinking abput rewatching Strawberry Panic, too. Maybe this is a sign to give in to the urge.

Lapis and Jasper were, as Garnet put it, "terrible for each other". Why do people even want to see them together?

Toxic yuri. Them being bad for each other is the appeal

Man no wonder so many people get trapped in abusive relationships.

Ppl get trapped into abusive relationships cuz they’re too afraid to leave (either out of dependency or being threatened), they’re manipulated into staying, or they hope the person they’re dating will change/be better if they stay with them

No one stays in an abusive relationship cuz they enjoy it lol

People can enjoy things in fiction that aren't good in real life, and also separate reality and fiction lol

This too

I agree with both of you. People do get trapped in bad ralationships out of fear, and manipulation. And people can enjoy things in fiction that are not good in real life. However why romanticize about something so toxic. When I experience a story with an abusive relationship I get mad and root for the victim to meet someone nice. I don't pop some popcorn settle in thinking wow that's hot. I get the the whole individual taste may very thing. But when I read a story like this and read the comments giving thumbs up for the ship I just think WHY???
Don't get me wrong. It's not like a " you're wrong for liking this thing". It's more of a " I'm confused how you can like this thing" . I also know that I expressed confusion badlly with that comment but what's done is done. At least it opened a dialog.
