How the hell this couple is not canon, because in the anime they were like trying to woo each other.

^ I have not watched it, so I don't know if that's from the anime. It could be translators trolling as well so.

Also you can guess why I don't really trust KyoAni about anything involving yuri. Not that I've watched the other anime where they teased yuri in the series and then in the movie they paired one of them with a guy. I'm skeptical because one of the two is in love with the teacher if I recall and in the books one of them starts dating a guy. If the staff/people on it explicitly state that they're diverging from the book, it's just teasing. Cause they can really quickly turn it around.

Because I've read too much stuff to which the authors promise that they wouldn't do stuff and then they of course do it in such a way that it's even worse. So yeah. Also KyoAni have pulled such things before and the original book is het. So you can see my 'negativity' :P

Plus if that 'confession' is not reciprocated and the other girl is just "okay, thanks" it's not really counted as well.

^the confession of love thing really did happen in the anime and both girl said it(though not on the same episode) not really a trolling of the translator. the scene is so sweet that you could really see the yuri in it and the way they act to each other was beyond "friendship" through out the anime episodes but they never officially dated on the anime. so yeah cries in the corner while cursing KyoAni

It's not yuri, don't fool yourself guys, there's a thread about this, in the last page they say someone asked the director and Kumiko voice actress about it, basically, it's just a phase, het wins, yuri is dead.

There's two things you can never forget about KyoAni:

  • They always do faithful adaptations, all that subtext in Hibike Euphorium? The light novel is the same, any other anime they made or make if they have subtext the source material will have it too.

  • KyoAni never did any homosexual couple, only subtext, KyoAni = No Homo.

Case closed? Hell no. The last two episodes diverted from the light novels so dramatically it's not even funny. A couple months have passed, the storm has died down, and in the clearing we see a majority of the fans of the series who are not bigoted, selfish, and short-sighted shipping Shuumiko in the novels and KumiRei in the anime. Shoot, based on what I have heard and the excerpts I have read I'd much agree in that regard.

Didn't KyoAni did that Chuunbiyou thing? Dokamori or what's her name is humm kinda subtexty with eh the one who wrote that complicated book.

Now now Thiauinho is just stating that the show is not like,actual yuri,cos it isn't ,it is actually quite misleading, I admit I had high hopes..then they sunk...so so deep in ,as deep as KanColle dead ships go D:

I am ok with yuri goggles but not with denial .

Well, it seems that in Japan girls going out with girls is a phase. And girls who don't stop skinshipping or "playing around" are considered childish, and the parents might intervene. So I don't think yuri-teasing causes much, well, anger and disappointment among the majority of Japanese fans. It isn't taken seriously and the yuri fanservice doesn't help either.

The best scenario for me in this case is an open ending with/without implied het relationships later on when they grew up, that's my lowest expectation for KumiRei. I'm sure even if there's a slightest chance they're canon, there won't be any tied up for them in the anime anyway. If it's not outright labeled as yuri, then there's no guarantee of lesbian relationships. Either go het, an OE or best friends for life. Heck, there's no guarantee even for the yuri labeled shows.

I can never feel safe with yuri-seemingly-anime in which guys exist as potential boyfriends. I still hope we get more real girlxgirl relationships than teasing and friend forever. For now, good bye Hibike.

So, can someone explain please why in the end credits of each episode in the anime Reina and Kumiko have a red string attached to their pinky finger? Isn't the 'red string of fate myth' just for lovers?... It's kinda confusing, so many yuri-baits ¬_¬

KyoAni just doesn't do overt yuri. I guess you can say that there's UST between these two, but the matter is left hanging because it's not in the LN.

ColonalCat Aug 7, 2015 3:23AM

I dunno guys, like there is no endgame ships in the anime, and I am quite happy with where it ended both from a film buff's perspective and from a yuri lover's perspective. There isn't any particular endgame ship at all from the anime, and the show did a lot more for KumiRei rather than ShuuMiko. Not that I'd know what'd happen if they came out with a sequel, but it stands on good grand for right now.

But really, you guys have got to stop this unnecessary avalanche against KyoAni. Tamako Market was actually a really sweet movie if you don't come out of it with bias, and they're only credit against them is that one incident. Chu2 literally has almost 50% anime-orginal material and put a LOT of eggs in the yuri basket between Deko and Mori. It's come to the point where I'm pretty sure if they released an anime adaptation of Sakura Trick you'd all complain how it's not gonna yuri.

I know Tamako Market is good and that Chu2 have some original material and from what I remember even a new female character that causes a lot of subtext, unfortunately subtext is all we'll ever get from them, Tamako Love was not even subtext as that other girl loved the main character, but I still plan on watching it as I know it's good, I know that all KyoAni animes are good but until now they did only subtext, and after what the director and Kumiko voice actress said I just don't believe that they'll use Hibike Euphorium, that the light novel end in het, to make their first anime that goes beyond subtext.

I respect that. I suppose personally I'm perfectly content with subtext if its milked properly. I don't particularly find the aforementioned quotes to be all too dissuading personally, but I can understand why.

@Telamon in the anime they used "愛の告白" no translation trolling there.


Personally, I feel that as long as there's no evidence to disprove it, in the anime Reina and Kumiko do have feelings for each other. It may be different from the LN but works do diverge from there original source. They're separate bodies of work. Even if one is the source material, they're both official published work; one is no more canon than the other.

Queer Baiting at its finest i was so mad nothing happened between these two in the anime... stupid KyoAni teasing us with enticed yuri to get more views... but dont get me wrong the animation was pretty good loved the story slice of life genre and the enticed yuri parts but yeah.. im hoping for a second season since at the end she says 'on our next piece' hinting another season? maybe it will be based on Nationals? If there will be second season there might be yuri scenes or yuri scenes to queer bait us again.. Who knows. Regardless i liked the anime so yeah i wasn't to upset by it.

Since when not being canon mattered? There are 100s of ships on this site that are not canon. Whole Love Live! cast for example. However, it never stopped people from shipping so why the hell do I keep seeing same sort of argument on every Hibike thread?

Love Live is all about baiting and it had even less gayness than RumiKo ship in anime, no one complains and starts canon or not debates there so why here? What's so bad about RumiKo that even on yuri site we have the same debate?

I'm totally on the verge of treating "By the way, Euphonium HAS A HET ENDING, I BET YOU NEVER HEARD THAT BEFORE, YOU SHOULD BE GLAD I TOLD YOU NOW YOU CAN ABANDON A SHIP YOU ENJOY" the way Love Live shipping wars were.

Seriously, how hard is it to enjoy a well drawn pic of two girls being romantic without trying to ruin someone else's fun?

No, it's that the number of tiresome idiots barging in and going DID YOU KNOW KYOANI BETRAYED YOU IT'S GONNA BE HET as if nobody knew about the novels or anything up to that point has reached critical mass and this was all new information that some Dashing Knight (tm) is duty bound to inform them of. Kinda the opposite of what you're suggesting, actually.
