Holy fuck, I just remembered about something crazy. I used to play Shadowverse which is CCG made by Cygames and they often make tie-in cards with characters from their other proprieties like Shingeki no Bahamut and Granblue Fantasy. I of course didn't know any. In their new (back then anyway) set Rise of Bahamut, they added 2 cards, which now makes much more sense to me:

Normal
Evolved

Normal
Evolved

The kicker? They're the only 2 cards in entire game (well at that point anyway, but I doubt they made new cards with the same gimmick) that summon each other. Whenever you put one into play, it automatically summons the other and evolves it. So they're pretty much a set, you always summon together. And they reference each other in their quotes. Already back then I got pretty much couple vibe from them, but I had no idea it was running so deep.

Summoning: "What you wanna do today, Grea?"
Evolving: "Grea, we can do this together."

Summoning: "Anne, help me out."
Evolving: "Anne, calm down already."
Attacking in evolved form: "No one hurts Grea, no one."

Couldn't find video where they play Anne.

(Yes, I just installed game again just to confirm quotes, because no wiki had them. Had to create cards, since I didn't own them, but luckily I had some mats laying around. Would burn some of my cards otherwise. The things you do for the sake of yuri!)

Now it's my time to be disappointed. Episode 8... why do you do this to us?
When I heard the episode would be about a stage play I already knew right away that Anne would be the prince and Grea the princess. So far so good. But this was the ultimate opportunity to have them share a kiss under the pretense of the play! Instead they didn't actually show the play at all! This was a no brainer director, how could you betray us?
Hanna's song was really beautiful at least.

Yes, I looked that up on the Shadowverse and Granblue wikis as well! lol
Its true their quotes and banter aren't written down there. Thanks for sharing! ^3^

Those English voices though haha

EDIT: Here is the Intro event for Anne in Granblue btw.
https://gbf.wiki/Anne/Lore#Intro
I might have been wrong, this is pretty damn gay. This actually implies that they have sleepovers regularly and are totally comfortable with snuggling up each night. fans self

Also Anne's profile:
Likes: Grea, hot milk

Grea's profile:
Likes: Anne, egg sandwiches

I'm two day late, but... thank you all for these posts. I'm considering checking the animation out.

I played game with english voices, so I actually prefer them. Also it helped that dub for the most part was solid. Hearing Grea's and Anne's voice now, I was surprised how very similar they're to their japanese counterparts.

Well, I will say that they are probably the closest "equivalent" to the Japanese voices, though certainly not similar in intonation. I don't think English Anne catches her bubbliness very well, if that makes sense.

Hi yall, I’m pretty new to the site and am an avid reader of yuri and shoujo-ai manga. I’m a femme lesbian from the West Coast. Hope we all get along

Just a heads up from something I learned from my own experience: the term shoujo-ai is almost universally used by newbies on this site. I kinda learned that the hard way. It's still fresh in my memory, since I joined this site last autumn. (Was it late September? Early October? Mid October?).
So, uhh, just giving you a heads up so you'd not get the same kind of embarrassment like I did.

Oh, so you're also into prequel memes?
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Hiyo, I'm some random internet person who avidly reads yuri too.
BV is right, Shoujo Ai is a made up term, but more importantly, nice to have ya here~

Hello there.

Sleepyhead. You replied to the post that came after mine first somehow. lol
And I'm into anything that can't escape me. Uh.... meme wise of course.

What type of lillies?

I'm not a botanist, and I'm partly rarted so I did a quick google and they are called "Stargazer".
10/10 will buy more.

Because of this, I'ma google "Stargazer lily" as soon as I finish browsing through the fanarts to "A Room for Two".

Holy shit, now that's what I call one gorgeous flower!

Anyways guys... I'm about to make the weirdest plea for help in all of history.
So, uhh... About a month ago, I watched a video of Zeria's, which was little over a year old by that point. It was about the NanohaxFate ship in the Nanoha franchise. I have, over the recent weeks, visited the fanarts with the Pairing: NanohaxFate tag, as well as the comments to them. Now, I want to read (and, depending whether it proves necessary or not and, even if it doesn't, if I feel like it, watch) the entire franchise, but I don't know with which manga (or anime) should I start. I want the story to make as much sense to me as it possibly can, so I wanna read (and, maybe (I can't bother repeating the same bracketed text from before again) watch) in chronological order...
So, uhh... if you can spare your time to give me the titles in the order I'm asking for, that'd be really nice, and I'd feel eternally and infinitely grateful.
Thank you for reading this, and thank you in advance for the titles (if you bother giving them).

EDIT:
The last sentence ended up a lot funnier than initially intended.

EDIT:
And before you ask:
Yes, I did try a google search for the franchise (in fact, even before looking for the fanarts) and failed finding what I was looking for.
Yes, I did try finding some manga here, and I did, but I didn't know with which to start, and I was sure I didn't find the entire franchise (more specifically, the earlier parts) in the first place.
No, I don't know when the franchise began, but I assume that the franchise is about as old as me or my cousin Aleksa.

Holy.

Thank you so much.
If we were on the same place I would've kissed you on one cheek and than in the other cheek and then back on the first cheek.
I'm very Balkan.

Never have I been more glad that there is a computer screen and who knows how many hundred kilometers of electric wiring between us.

For detailed manga series breakups mangaupdates is very useful. For anime aniDB has a very nice relation feature (click on relation) that shows everything as a graph.

Just for the cases that have wiki fail.

... so I'm nort very "Balkanlike" because I tend not to kiss people much on the cheeks :D

and i'm sorry, I would have been able to help you in your search :)
