^ Having an extremely competitive staring contest is what these two consider a romantic moment. :P

Okay, I'm confused. Do they get together or not? Is this even a Yuri?

It was a yuri bait and switch. Explicit declarations of love, sweet words, longing, passion, presenting themselves for each other, a lot of eye-fucking like the above...
But no yuri as it turns out.

It's insane to me that you can simultaneously say that a show has "Explicit declarations of love, sweet words, longing, passion, presenting themselves for each other, a lot of eye-fucking like the above..." but also contend that it's not yuri.
Bizarrely narrow definition.

Watch it and you'll know what I'm saying. It's a classic KyoAni bait and switch. I was being sarcastic.
Still exhausted from arguing and commiserating about this a few years ago when the show was on.
Even with the bait and switch, it was a powerfully believable erotically charged female friendship they put there on the screen.

I'm gonna voice an extremely controversial opinion and say Eupho is good regardless. KyoAni absolutely at the top of their game.

^It's brilliant. Great show. One of the best anime I've ever seen.
In fact, this inspired me to watch both seasons this week. Hurray!

"When I was crying over us getting a 'fake gold' in middle school, you sat there stoically on your smug ass like it didn't even matter! When I said I 'love you,' I left out 'being rattled'. I think I'll go give myself to Sensei ... if you don't mind.Who's crying now, Kumiko? Who's crying now???"

@Yes_Cantaloupe hard for it to be yuri when one gets a boyfriend and the other crushes on her (male) teacher.

I have to agree to the oversupply of eye-fucking that happened in the anime.. It's still a good anime tho regardless of yuri bait lol

Fun fact: When u type up yuri bait on google Reina and Kumiko come up

livingice: yes but you should clarify for both images and videos. Text is more stoic and neutral. Still it's striking enough to be hilarious. Out of curiosity do others agree with me that most of the baiting is done by Reina? It could be she's a tease as a character. Kumiko seems way more honest. In this very picture!!! Kumiko is crying and Reina has an evilsmile . I think my caption above is correct. The entire series is Reina breaking Kumiko's heart as revenge for not caring about the band in middle school.

Even though the ship does not go anywhere in the series, as long as there exist doujins of it I am already satisfied.
