Yuru Yuri (YuruYuri: Happy Go Lily)

After a year in grade school without her childhood friends, first year student Akari Akaza is finally reunited with second years Yui Funami and Kyouko Toshinou at their all-girls' middle school. During the duo's first year, Yui and Kyouko formed the "Amusement Club" which occupies the now nonexistent Tea Club's room. Shortly after Akari joins, one of her fellow classmates, Chinatsu Yoshikawa, pays the trio a visit under the impression that they are the Tea Club; it is only once the three girls explain that the Tea Club has been disbanded that they can convince Chinatsu to join the Amusement Club—a group with no purpose other than to provide entertainment for its members.

Based on the slice-of-life manga by Namori, Yuru Yuri is an eccentric comedy about a group of girls who spend their spare time drinking tea and fawning over each other, all while completely failing to even notice the supposed main character Akari amongst them.

"Why are girls more susceptible to same sex or bi-sexual orientation? Who knows, but it sure does make a good source of comedy material in the anime world"

Yuru Yuri (literal translation Easy-Going or Slow Yuri) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Namori about three schoolgirls... wait am I missing someone? Guess not. They took over the former room of the tea ceremony club (may I add how manly tea is?) to form their own "amusement club" Yea because in Japanese highschools it isn't illegal to just take over another club room for your own amusement. I know I used to make the ...

Mixed Feelings

1) This show has "Yuri" in its title, it's comedy, and it's slice of life
2) I like yuri, I like comedy and I like slice of life
3) Well, the third step is obvious, isn't it? I just had to give this a shot.
4) .......

Okay, maybe some things don't mix after all. Yuri and slice of life don't make a fusion as good as I hoped it would.

First of all, I found this show boring. Nothing really happens in it. Okay, some of my favorite anime don't have much going on (it is slice of life after all), but when an anime doesn't have much going ... on, it doesn't automatically mean it'll be boring. Sadly, that is the case with Yuru Yuri.

Then it's the characters. They're all just bland and uninteresting. Sure, they look pretty, but their personalities didn't appeal to me. Except Kyouko, who is a bit interesting as a character (a bit), the others were boring, or just plain annoying.

Yes, I like yuri and that haven't changed after watching this. But this show taught me that there is a time and a place for yuri, and that it doesn't fit just everywhere. Yes, while watching Yuru Yuri, I was actually bothered by the yuri element.

Why, you ask? Well, I was annoyed by the fact that all girls here were lesbians, bisexual, or at least curious. Not only it doesn't work that way in real life (yes, I'm a realist when it comes to this type of stuff; I may be wrong but that how I work), it's just unnecessary. I really don't mind lesbian characters, on the contrary, but not when everyone is hinted to be a lesbian, and nothing is actually revealed (their sexualities or... some actual "action" except harmless kissing). Oh, and I also felt uncomfortable at some forced kissing scenes, especially since the girls are underage.

Also, there was this running gag with the chick who takes off her glasses and fantasizes about yuri moments while watching her friends, then gets nosebleeds. And everyone else seems to be cool with it. Okay, it was funny the first time, the second, the third... but after the tenth time, it became annoying. Not only that, but she also has a twin, and we even had some slight incest hints. Some fat perverted otaku will probably find it cool and hot, but I just found it repulsive. I don't mind that stuff either when I'm watching hentai, but here, it just seemed wrong.

To be honest, I didn't really hate this show; if I did, I would've rated it lower. It has some funny moments and situations, some episodes were slightly better than the others, and I just can't hate the yuri element, even if I'm annoyed with it, which was the case here.

At the end, I must say this: just because I wasn't thrilled with it doesn't mean it's bad, or that it isn't for you. I'm very well aware that Yuru Yuri is fairly popular, and that many people like it, and I respect that. This was just my personal opinion of it (and I have a very, very specific taste), so I can't say I wouldn't recommend it to you. If you like yuri, comedy and slice of life and if you think that they can mix (unlike me), try watching it. Chances are, you'll like it more than I did.

Yuru Yuri is dedicated to the Slice of Life genre, and while that may account for a lack of story depth, it isn't an excuse for a show such as this to have no depth whatsoever.

It pains me to say this, as the show is really quite charming and likable, but essentially... There is no plot, it's just a "pleasant" 12 episode series of (very) mild Shoujo Ai, Comedy and SoL filler.

In terms of Art and Sound, as i expected from Pony Canyon, it was top notch! The animation style and audio couldn't be more fitting for presenting the unfortunately uneventful subject matter.
