if this ends up not being yuri after all I don't even wanna be on the internet that day, it's going to be a shit storm

Oh it'll be generational bait if Lara ends up with some dude lol
(unfortunately I'm in for the ride, sink it swim, I've been enjoying the anime way too much)

Yeah I've been thinking about how nuclear the fallout from a het ending would be. It would become one of the most hated anime in living memory.

^ That never gets old
On another note, I feel like if this does turn out to be yuri bait, it wouldn't be nearly as disappointing as previous years, when we barely got any yuri anime each season.
So if it ends up being yuri bait, yeah, it'll be sad, but we still have I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day, Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games, The Grow Up Show, and The Ghost in the Shell. As a bonus, Draw This, Then Die! even gave us an on-screen kiss.
Unlike previous years, we actually have several official yuri anime airing, along with series that feature canon yuri couples, like The Grow Up Show. So even if one series ends up baiting us, the overall season is still a huge win for yuri fans. :)

I'm cautiously optimist, but I'm gonna wait for the whole thing to finish airing before watching it. Fuck queerbaiting, I've been burned too many times.

Lara and the prince was explicitly romantic and they almost kissed, if it's any less than that for the main couple then Kinema Citrus has no balls. No balls!! I've been looking forward to this one since the concept trailer, cause Kinema Citrus did Made in abyss and Gochiusa S2, which I think is the best looking season.
