I was not expecting the yuri kiss in the PV. This looks like a bit of Cross Ange And and Ikkitousen

What can go wrong with a guy at the helm who has a proven 1/10 masterpiece like Kagaku na Yatsura and the second season of Maken-ki under his belt, combined with the formidable talent of ARMS, proven again just this season with Isuca. This is going to be amazing. 2/10 of the year.

Lol, oh no boy. But with all the good shows Yuka has voiced in, I guess I'll give it a chance. If KnY was any indicator, at least I can hope it'll be on point with the ecchi. Pushed to the edge of being borderline hentai. I'll settle for HotD level ecchi though if it has some inkling of a story.

Like... are they drawing those women seriously??? Because that's not how the female body works... at all. I really want to think that it's supposed to be a joke. Is it?

For now I guess I'll give it a try but it looks like Senran Kagura so it's probable that I'll drop it.

I seen the PV early this morning, I want Bhikkhuni since it's on Vita, I will watch Mermaid since I like the girls but will avoid Siren as it's a money pit, Takaki or not I don't support cancerous F2P mobile games.

They're probably not even actual lesbians, just girls that have to kiss to transform. Otherwise, how would the male otaku be able to latch onto their waifu?

This looks like complete shit, but hey, that hasn't stopped me before.

Sounds and looks good to me. Always up for these types of shows.

Find it funny but also rather sad that people already seem to be bashing it (because judging an entire series from a trailer is obviously the way to go) but are willing to waste their time watching something they clearly do not care for.

Don't like the look of it? Clear off then.

There are plenty of male yuri shippers, I've seen lots of Senran Kagura yuri my favorite is a pic of Yomi and Minori having hot sex.
