whatever5464 said: So I've been watching both seasons almost twice and... I don't get why some people think there are yuri elements in this anime, I haven't really noticed anything particular going on between Shamiko and Momo, do people simply assume nowadays that "Friends = Lovers" ? Momo treats Shamiko in a 'special' way, compared to say Shamicen or Mikan. I wouldn't say it's 100% yuri, but there's some kind of 'wholesome love', be it friends or whatever, involved. There's also the whole 'falling to darkness' and that one scene around ep 6-8 in S2 where Shamiko promises to become stronger. TL;DR: It's just a wholesome relationship. It doesn't even have the shoujo ai tag lmao. Btw, this comes from someone who ships these two. |
 ❝Only you can save yourself.❞ I only know what I know, I guess? Yuri enjoyer and El Cazador de la Bruja fan |
| There are only two named male character in the whole cast. One is a cat and second is middle aged, barely antrophomorphic tapir. Some people assume, that all female cast immediately means it's yuri, which is wrong, because we have no way of knowing how those girls would act in front of boys their age. |

Welp, there's also Joshua (I think that was his name, Shamiko's father), and tapir already has someone crushing for him. Metako is out of the 'romanceable' characters because of obvious reasons. Thus... Yup, 0 possible male love interests. |

| Where? in our feeble minds. That's where. lmao P.S. I agree that there's none but you can't stop them from creating some... |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |

I hate to necro this thread but everyone here is wrong.
Besides obvious stuff like that, there's them going on a date in ep1s2, Shamiko's Momo tummy fetish, that scene where Shamiko wonders what happens when she pulls Momo's string, Lilith saying Shamiko has to "seduce" Momo in ep12s1, etc. Literally no one would be questioning there being romantic tension between them if it was a guy and a girl doing the same things.
Or the slam dunk that is their names being references to Japanese lesbian icons Chiyo Monma and Nobuko Yoshiya.

| @karton_realista Honestly I agree 100%. I'm surprised so many people are shocked that people might consider this anime yuri. Like, take Gabriel Dropout for example. That anime is literally just 4 girls who are surprisingly all friends and are getting into shenanigans and just having their daily school lives as friends, you can tell there's nothing more than that they are just friends. Never mind, Gabriel Dropout had some Yuri moments too. Regardless, with this anime, it's so clearly more than that. Anyway, that's my two cents on the matter. |
