So I was looking at all the yuri on the website, when I just clicked on the yuri tab, and there's only been 42 ever made???? That's just sad, because there's so much fucking straight porn, and there's so much fucking straight romance. I just hate the lack of lgbt representation everywhere, hell they'll throw you off a fucking roof for liking girls in some countries. I hate being alive in this world so much..

Well, its about money and the average boy teen wants his 5 Harem girls. Iirc some Yuri magazines are dying out too, so even in the manga section its not super popular. I prefer straight 1on1 romances (at max love triangle) or Yuri too instead of you random cliche Harem, but oh well, im not the masses. :)

I know what you're trying to do, but to try and discourage crap posting, I'll say this: anime made in the same vein as Aim for the Ace, Dear Brother, and MariMite are a bit hard to come by. This extends to things such as Rose of Versailles and Revolutionary Girl Utena, though they're made with extraneous elements in mind. As in, pure dramatic shoujo ai made with the intent of exploring character relationships and the psychologies behind their interactions. There's a place for ecchi and perverted material, and while having every single anime about the relationship between female characters being a character study would be ridiculous to suggest, I wouldn't be against seeing more made in the context of present-day, non-English or French-based settings.

Personal identity, sexual/gender orientation and societal observations of those topics, through the scope of anime, tends to make for some great works, if just by the associated theatrics and choreographed audiovisuals laid out in conjunction with the overarching narrative. However, it's something I recognize that both anime and other entertainment mediums struggle to really grasp, which speaks volumes about the ability for various writers to really speak on those subjects, as well as the acceptance of respective audiences to be able to watch something without feeling inclined to express how their personal beliefs may have been intruded upon. And yes, this applies to yaoi as well, as shown in the thread you're trying to reference.

Yuri isn't very profitable as I don't know what kind of demographic they're targeting. Got things like Maria-sama and then things like Sakura Trick. It's a split. Yuri doesn't have a fujoshi equivalent despite hardcore yuri fans being very dedicated, while small in number.

I don't want more yuri, I want consistent and good yuri that doesn't pander so heavily. But more stuff like Utena and YKA wouldn't hurt either.

There are 42 yuri anime and 55 shoujo ai anime while there are 483 yuri manga and 573 shoujo ai manga. There are 4x as many manga out there than anime but there are 10x as many lesbian manga than lesbian anime. We deserve at least 250 lesbian anime not just a measly hundred. Someone should get onto adapting more yuri manga.

Yuri anime don't sell well most of the time so no one's willing to adapt the manga. Not to mention, a majority of yuri manga are either one-shots or really short. Out of the longer series, only a few are still running & have any chance of getting an adaptation. Out of those ongoing ones, mostly the bad ones are popular. & that's why we have Citrus & NTR adaptations.

Being yuri fan is suffering.

They just need to do a Sakura Trick copy-paste, but with the girls stripping down to nothing but thongs this time. I haven't actually watched it yet, though. Just discovered after googling there was a nude eyecatch from their cleavage up. Don't know if there's any other nude views of them that would prevent nipple shots. But I still want girls in thongs.

I really wish there are more yuri with kyoani hibike's bait quality. I mean, the way they present girlxgirl relationship is superb. A shame it's not a yuri anime.
There should be less ecchi fanservice like sakura trick, and more personal romantic focus on two girls relationship in yuri anime.

I don't think we really need that many yuri purely for male gaze and/or fanservice. (Especially fanservice.)
Yuri SoL is acceptable. What I would like to see most is an anime of something like Strawberry Panic but better.

...and the lack of titles means that exploring sub-genres (i.e. Class-S) is even more difficult because now you're looking at titles you can count on one hand (or two or three fingers in the case of Class S).

What's really disappointing is the ratio of adapted anime compared to other genres :( Besides Citrus there's an easy half dozen or so titles that would be worthy of an anime adaptation without question and many more that could be given an OVA -- and that's being conservative.



More Class-S please!!

Not necessarily, but it most certainly focuses on the relationships of high school girls in a dramatic setting, coupled with the onee-sama admiration I've seen in works that would later precede it. I suppose that was what I was trying to get at when I made that mental connection.

Oh, and it was directed by Osamu Dezaki (Rose of Versailles, Dear Brother). That definitely helped.

Okay, thanks for letting me know. I haven't watched it yet, but I'm not a huge fan of shoujo ai, so as long as it's not too bad, I'll still watch it.

That is because their is only 100 hentai anime episodes made every year. Could you imagine if that small of a number of normal porn was produced a year? It would almost all be straight porn. You are better off with H-manga since their is a lot more produced a lot more variety in content will exist.

Their was a same thread for yaoi and yuri asking why their was so little of those anime. On the yaoi thread they were talking about hentai so I thought they were talking about yuri hentai in this one too. However, they should have said shoujo ai then if that is what they meant because yuri is more erotic in nature like the anime listed as yuri on mal are basically all hentai.

None of the two topics are speaking specifically about porn.
If you read the OP:
because there's so much fucking straight porn, and there's so much fucking straight romance. I just hate the lack of lgbt representation everywhere

Both romance and porn are lacking from their point of view.

And there is different definitions for "yuri" or "yaoi", and people won't change their definition because MAL choose one, the less legit.
Don't automatically assume that when people are speaking about "yaoi" or "yuri", they're speaking about porn. Rather, you should looks to the examples they use, what they are concretely speaking about.

Notably "shōjo-ai", since that word is in clear usage-dropping by the fans of the said genre, with a clear preference for "yuri", like it is in Japan.

Also he even mentions that he was looking at the yuri tab in mal, so he was using the mal categorizing system to begin with when complaining there were only 42 yuri anime. So if he was talking about yuri in general to what you were talking about where yuri includes the the shoujo ai tag here on mal (who likes to separate romance from the porn) then obviously their is a lot more yuri anime. Mal only counts the ecchi and hentai yuri as yuri so that is why their is only 42 of them listed.

That topic is a troll created as a copy/past of the yaoi one.

Anyway, in the whole topic, there is zero porn anime mentioned, only romance, rom-com and comedy yuri. And since the OP is a troll, no need to specifically answer him, but rather answering the others people, who aren't speaking about porn.

And like I said, the OP of the yaoi topic was speaking about the "LGBT representation" as a whole, you can just check that another topic he made for understanding what actually interest them; romance, with or without sex.
