Just as kind of a fun little activity, I'd like to know about anyone's top 10 Yuri series. The rules are as follows:

• A series, by my definition, is anything above 2 chapters. Preferably I'd like to see longer entries, but all are welcome.
• Anthologies do not count as series unless they are interconnected within the same universe and plot setting. I intend to do a list on that separately for another time.
• Follow the rules of the forum when you make the list. Don't be a dick and make fun of someone else's pick, try to keep in mind that any spot on a list you have different on yours doesn't mean that it is ABSOLUTELY 100% set in stone and therefore makes you wrong, and don't place yourself on a pedestal while making the list. Also don't do what I did and exclude an entire community of people who constantly get shit on by the internet to begin with. Call me a name or two for that. I deserve it.
• Make sure it's actually Yuri. No subtext. No Futa, No Gender Bender, (if the character turns into a female and stays that way [like Kashimashi], that's okay. No magic ring or temporary shapeshifting madness or anything. Shit just gets confusing otherwise.), and definitely no Yaoi. It should be the main focus. So obviously nothing like Toradora or Dengeki Daisy ;P. (EDIT: I'm super sorry for my hasty decision to exclude the Transgender category. Rather than copping out and just telling everybody to look at my last rule, it's off the record books. I fully encourage you to make a list with all transgender couples just to spite my past transgressions ;). LOVE AND PEACE <3!)
• The series should be finished. If it's done being scanlated, then try and link it if it's on the site. Some of the links I will use aren't complete, but that's because they are complete on other sites. If you know Japanese and have read one that hasn't been done being scanlated, feel free to put it on the list. Also, please don't link scanlations of works that have been licensed. That's not cool.
• One author per series. I forgot to mention this one earlier, but if that wasn't a rule, Morinaga Milk would take up like all the spots for my list. If you feel like conjoining all the author's works and put something like "Anything by Takemiya Jin", that'd be okay.
• Your list doesn't have to be in any particular order. If you can't think of 10, make it 5, 6, 3, or whatever. As long as you like them.
• If you don't feel like following any of the rules except for 3 and want to do your own thing, go right ahead! Just keep rule 3 in mind when you do it and remember that this is all for fun. I'm not the boss here after all.

MY TOP 10:

1. Octave
2. Girl Friends
3. Poor Poor Lips
4. Yoshikawa Ginza District 4
5. Cirque Arachne
6. Dandelion Among Lilies/Yuri Ni Tanpopo
7. Kimi Koi Limit
8. Love Vibes
9. Philosophia
10. Wife and Wife/Fu-Fu

No Futa, No Transgender

Wait, what? I won't defend futa as I'm not a fan either (but there is a lot people here who will surly call you on that one), but why transgender is excluded? If someone is transgender and identify as a woman then they are a woman. If such person is in love with another woman it is "actually yuri". Not sure if you are being ignorant or intolerant, but by your standards this doesn't count...

sighs

Do I even wanna say anything about this?

1. Shoujo Sect
2. Gunjo (when it ever will be finished)
3. Utena anime
4. Prism
5. Girls Ride

Edit: for Dynasty-Tagging-Team, this doesn't count either Nevri :3

1 LOVE/DEATH
2 Wife and Wife
3 Sweet Little Devil
4 Prism(can I list this one? It might as well be considered completed...)
5 Chatting at the Amber Teahouse
6 Majyo to Houki to Kurobuchi Megane

Well, I like futa, but I can see that it does not belong in a yuri list.

But transgender does... so, yeah... OP kinda put himself on the spot there.

If in doubt, list Stretch just to fuck with some peoples heads :>

What, no Lemonade?

And yeah, that whole "no transgender" thing is a pretty bad move since we've got a whole bunch of trans members on this here forum who will heartily disagree.

I like how transgender is banned from the list but genderbender is not.

Anyways:
Murcielago, The Real Her, Love Death, Sasameki Koto, Girl Friends, Poor Poor Lips, Sweet Guilty Love Bites there's like 6 pages of extras about the 3 couples hanging out together, so BAM, 2 chapters per couple, Yukemari Sanctuary, Notes From The Lily Garden, Hanjuku Joshi
Ranking changes with my mood so I'm not gonna rank them. My Top10 in general also changes with my mood but whatever.

Prism, then Girlfriends.

Happy End clear number one though.

Rest too hard to rank, I forget some or can't choose between them. ;~;

Overt subtext where the author all but writes it in big red letters should be allowed. And no trans gender allowed was a bad move. >_>

candyboy
love/death
citrus
anything by the yuri goddesses such as Takemiya, Shuninta, Morishima, etc.
girlfriends
magan and danai
Kashimashi
The real her

Those arent in order

I can not begin to tell you how sorry I am. There's no excuses for what I did. I'll tell you this much. I have read Ayumi and Aika and it was easily my favorite from Mermaid Line. You may not believe me, and you have full right not to. I'm not going to tell you a million reasons why I'm not ignorant or intolerant, because I tend to be that way when I know I shouldn't. I hold no ill-will for anybody LGBT or Q for what they are alone and never will. You don't have to forgive me and I expect you not to right away. I again apologize for my heinous remark and I'll make sure not to do something like it again.

I'd like to thank you all for calling me out on what I did. You guys were way too nice and I'm really appreciative that things stayed relatively calm and civil. It may seem like I'm forcing myself a bit, but I feel the best way to amend the situation is to use self-humility rather than making up bullshit excuses and backhanded apologies. It may be excessive, but feeling bad about it and lashing out at anybody but myself is childish. I'd say I'm sorry again, but you can only say it so many times before it loses its meaning. Also, I deleted some of my response posts because they kind of cluttered the page and didn't add much. Peace!

ATM, and in no particular order: Aqua Blue Cinema, Lonely Wolf, Lonely Sheep, Her World, Honey & Mustard, Kimi Koi Limit, The Flower and the Star, Kissing Mars, Gunjo, Legally Married Yuri Couple Book, Sasameki Koto. In general, I actually prefer one-shots, tho.

I prefer one-shots and two-shots too actually. I just thought it'd be too overwhelming for me to pick 10 out of the literal hundreds I've read.

What, no Lemonade?

I haven't finished that one yet. I keep putting it off, but if it's worthy of a top 10 spot, I might go ahead and marathon it.

Is Kashimashi better as a manga? I watched the english dubbed anime and absolutely hated it. I wonder if it was just a bad conversion and the original source material is great.

Nice choices. If it wasn't for Philosophia, I would have totally put Yukemari Sanctuary on my list. Also, Hanjuku Joshi was a definite contender for my list and definitely would be in my top 15.

I love the shit out of what I've read so far in Gunjo. Once it finishes, you might see it make its way on to my list. Totally unconventional yet super duper amazing.

You watched it dubbed thats why. In my experience dubs sound horrible almost all the time. Usually it's the female VA's that sound screachy and grating. And I think the manga was better.

What, no Lemonade?

Don't.

Do, also read Happy End. Perfect marathon combo.

I first came across anime and I completely adored it. The comedy was brilliant, I liked drama and it was overall really good in my opinion. I watched it three times. But then later I read manga and I have to admit. Watching only anime, while series is good on its own, the ending sucks cos they went different way than manga, but then they tried to somehow match the ending of manga making ending of anime total bs. Also there is few aspects in manga that were generally done better.

Might as well throw in Softcharm then. If you want to go for the classics, go for all of them.
