I thought the canon tag was only used for official art. Is this official then?
I liked the anime personally, it wasn't exactly subtle in making some of it's points but I thought it gave enough to be interesting with out making all of it's metaphors completely obvious.

I fail to see what was wrong with the plot line... not a lot of anime represent minorities, it just so happened that they did it through metaphors. That's just how Ikuhara is.

Yes, it ran in Nyantype, which is something we might start tagging from now on (if there's a magazine source, what it is, etc.). (Moderately related, a few image tags are going to be revised a bit in the coming weeks, Canon included)
On another note, from my understanding the show meant a great deal to a great deal of people on my side of the globe (western hemisphere), and I think that means an awful lot.

Are you people kidding me. This anime was absolutely incredible.
It's one thing to watch it all the way through and dislike it because, yes, there was a LOT of subtextual reading-between-the-lines of plot devices you had to think hard about to understand. So yes, it's not for the casual viewer. But dropping a show before even getting 1/4 of the way through and acting like it was the right decision is a bit short-sighted.

I stayed away from it when it was airing (only saw the OP and saw a lot that repulsed me). I gave it a shot a few days ago, hated it.
To begin with something heavily subjective, as someone who hates those "magical girls" and "idols", these are all shit to me - the ridiculous outfits and bear crap was REALLY cringe-y to watch, along with those "catchphrases/quirks" in the dialogue.
As someone who appreciates subtle symbolism as support in storytelling - I found the symbolism here annoying, it was so on-the-face about it, always feels like someone screaming "LOOK I USE SYMBOLISM ON MY STORY. I MUST BE SMART! COMPLIMENT ME!!!" as spammed symbolism became visual disruption and cripples the pacing, instead of using it to support the story.
Can't say I was particularly mind-blown by anything, when most of the time I just wanted to stop wasting my time watching it.
There ya go.

@ColonalCat Agreed with everything you said there. It really irks me that everyone that says they dropped it dropped it after episodes 1-3. When the story REALLY picks up around episode 3 and so on. I don't think it's fair to judge an entire series off 3 episodes just because it's slow at first, it has only 12 episodes you might as well watch the whole thing before judging it.
@flips well obviously you wouldn't like Kunihiko Ikuhara's work then because he uses a lot of what you seem to hate in anime to tell a story. That's a real shame because Yurikuma and Utena are my favorite anime of all time.. I mean I thought it was paced well considering the small amount of episodes. It was much easier to follow than say mawaru penguindrum in terms of pacing.

I dunno if I'd be irked at people who dropped it after episode 3, considering that's 1/4 of the way through the story. If the story isn't grabbing people by then I'd question the writing at least a bit. I suspect some folks, at least here on Dynasty, stuck around because the conversations and speculation were keeping them interested.

^ For clarification, it's not that I'm irked at those who drop stuff at ep.3 (well, I am because many stories coughcoughYukiYunacoughcough take time to get going; I just won't call them out on it because time is a commodity not all of us have), it's more the ones who claim to know and accurately judge the ENTIRE thing on that small sample.

Does anyone know what Pekoe meant by Gao Gao? Internet says it's a panda, a noise made by nidoran, a word for a deceitful woman, and a request to be raped (seriously Urban Dictionary?), and as none of these seem to make sense, I'm clueless.
....gao gao is basically them growling and acting all bear-like. It's kind of like a catch phrase in a way.

What kickap00 said. I was just being a jerk though, the meaning doesn't matter so much.

Nez, have you ever seen Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai? I wouldn't fault someone for giving up on it through the first 30 minutes. Or possibly even the first hour. Yet it's an absolute masterpiece, and one I come back to often (well, as often as one can for a 3 hour movie...).
I think often times, a show being dropped after a few episodes says more about the person watching the show - and their individual taste - than it does the show itself.

Oh... well, I did watch 11 episodes.. it wasn't entertaining enough and then BANG! BYE BYE LULU so that was my limit, because Kureha wasn't interesting... She keeps repeating and repeating the same things "I will not forgive the pandas... I will not give up on love" and I was like "yeah.... I got it the first 10 times thank you" and I guess that, the symbolism was interesting yeah... But I wasn't looking for that, Is so hard to get yuri and these people give it but through a kaleidoscope so nope! no more for me... I have the manga now :)
