At least there was some decent action? But, yeah, I wasn't fond of much of anything that happened there beyond Fuu and Mei working things out

I just finished liz and the blue bird. I knew it will be a good watch but I didn’t expect it to be a god damn masterpiece of animation and directing. Fucking superb Naoko Yamada.

What did you make of the last seconds of the film when Mizore suddenly makes a very surprised face when Nozomi turns to her? That left me scratching my head.

But yes, it's a must-see for anyone who likes slow and intimate films.

Kakegurui skipped the yuri tower arc even though it was in the promo art,.

The hell, Japan?

I just saw your reply! Honestly I think nothing of it, could be Nozomi dropping truth bomb (“I am ur father”) or making funny face or sneezing. It’s up to the audience I guess!

What I know is Mizore feelings is very much romantic and as long as she’s happy I’m content with the ending

there's only 1 episode of season 2 out at the moment, they're probably just going to shift things around

So Wz has some yuri on the side.

...Still shit though, they should just have made an music video instead or some shit. Only dimision high school is a bigger piece of crap.

Kemono 2 Kaban is DEAD and forgotten??!!

This is speculation, but I suspect we're dealing with the next generation's Serval. The previous season implied that memories got passed down between incarnations of friends, just kind of weakly

Endro! first episode is godly!!!!

"Godly" is a bit strong, but, yeah, it was one of the better starts

A bit late but AiFre summary again:
I expected slower episodes because mid season, but they were pretty fun this time around. Only one was filler. WHY DID YOU CUT COCOS SONG!?
Much needed Karen screen time, she's great!
In fact, pretty even screen time for all teams. I'm glad BNP learned we like to watch ALL the idols.

Good music as well.

The part you care about: Well...this is a yuri romance show, my opinion hasn't changed and I doubt it ever will at this point.

Mio and Aine had more full episodes dedicated to their relationship. which concluded with them renewing their vows, wedding bells and everything wait I'm not done! Mio made a couple's heart necklaces, I'm not joking, see screen shots

Maika and Ema are pretty much still the same. I like the present exchange, they were super nervous.

The Shirayuri twins...I mean...you CAN ship it, I can see it. I personally don't at the moment. They are hilarious, though.

Mirai and Karen got more screen time! I mean they look like a couple, act like a couple, sound like a couple...uh...nah just friends.

If this wasn't a "kids show", this would be a lot more like Sakura trick XD.
Some screen shots
They are out of order and I'm on mobile w/o app, sorry!

Pastel memories was hard to watch... but that ED (episode 2) holy hell hahaahaha you wont find girls girls like that in any other magical girl shows lo/

Also I like Bang Dreams s2... I don't want drama but there seems to be some coming by taking a live show too lightly and then rivalry
The band with the DJ dog was my favorite!!!

I'm waiting for the others to have enough episodes to start... like Asuka and neverland.

I'm really curious about Egao no daika (mostly because we don't know if it issubtext or het) I'll wait before start

For Egao no Daika, the male lead character dies in ep 2, so path to yuri is now open

And as of the most recent episode, our other lead appears to have a girl interested in her

I’m considering watching nanoha series. So I should just go chronologically by release date right?

Also apologize for being a trash fan but where can I watch the first nanoha ilegally? I checked gogo and the listing for first nanoha is actually the a’s series (which I recognized from the op song, thanks to bang dream)

I guess? I'm told the movie version of the first series is better than the original TV anime, though. And I'm really not sure anything after A's is worth watching

Be warned, though, if you're doing this for the yuri there's not all that much. The yuri fandom latched on to it because it had unusual amounts of subtext for the time it came out, but it has since been far surpassed

There's always Kissanime

To be fair, Nanoha and Fate do have a daugther(of sorts).

Just started watching Gridman recently, and what is with the super gay ED? God, Its gayness actually top Bloom Into You's one.

Is this anime just about a couple of lesbians who confess and overcome differences through Kaiju fighting? Oh well, the nod nod , wink wink of them being gay is all over the places so far. Let's see whether I just wear my goggles too tight.

There's a lot of subtext near the end, but nothing is ever confirmed

It was a lot less obvious than Twilight girl, but I think they still put it on pretty thick in Gridman. Not the first time Trigger has implied yuri(Kill la kill).

watch this video when you finish the show. it explains their relationship based on a good argument.

When you need to watch video essay to understand whatever characters are gay or not, that is not a good sign.

The first series is WAY better than the movie- tho the movie isnt bad, it is ofcourse very cut down. I even proffer the fight scenes in the series.

Also- strikers is probably the best series imo- it is fantastic- just some people cant handle their characters growing up lol.

But I agree the spin off stuff with vivio isn't worth watching imo. Just watch the first 3 series- then later watch the 2 movies if you want.

And while there isnt any outright yuri, it isnt just all in the fans heads lol- there is a lot of subtext and closeness between them it is hard to not see them in a romantic light as a yuri fan.

Nyaa is a good place to look for anime subs.

Stikers is so boring. You have so many characters but so few of them actually have arcs. And the plot is simpler than either of the first two series but takes twice as long. Animation is crap. The whole thing felt like they decided they wanted to try doing a 2-cour series but had no idea how to go about it

Strikers needs to be watched in DVD rip because the TV version is awful, the dvdrip is not so different from the s2 in terms of animation, sure there are too many characters around (and most of them look the same) but that's always the case with Nanoha.
You can also wait and just watch the movies instead!! there are 3 available right now in bluray and the last one should be coming soon too.

And then there's Vivid Strike! with one of the most brutal scenes in school I've seen haha
