Yeah....I'm sure K-ON! would've been a bit better if they had actually given us a little fanservice.

However, K-ON! is such an enjoyable and entertaining anime that it really didn't need any fanservice, an anime such as YuruYuri will not be able to succeed unless we see groping, panties, and maybe even a Kiss....(I REALLY HOPE THERE'S ACTUAL YURI!!)

Actually what i wonder is why people compare every 4 girl anime to K-ON!.. when K-ON! is not the first one to came up with this awesome story concept. if you want to compare then do with azumanga daioh, ichigo mashimaro,, hidamari sketch, minami-ke or at-least lucky star.. or i think people who complain have not watched anything but K-ON!.

Exactly, K-ON! was NOT the first anime to do a slice of life with cute girls in school....there were plenty before it and there will be a lot more in the future.

This genre is just VERY POPULAR right now......and why not, I prefer Slice of Life over romance comedy.

At least we don't have to worry about a FUCKING IDIOT MALE PROTAGONIST THAT RUINS THE SHOW...

I'm not sure how to feel about this show. On the surface, it seems like your everyday otaku pandering garbage about cute girls doing cute things (I was dumbstruck by the amount of horribly overdone cliches the show was able to throw in my face within the first minute and a half), but as I continued, it felt it was subtly parodying the mountain of tropes it abused through sheer retardation of their application (speaking of retardation, Dark Pink sure is a retard. Why is retardation moe, again?). But it doesn't feel like it tries hard enough to be funny, and more like it'd rather use lesbian middle schoolers as a crutch to replace actual plot or humor. The Sister's Room and the movie reel skits were kinda funny, but not nearly enough to carry this show.

The show was moderately better than I expected, but then again, I expected shit to begin with.

What, i have been waiting 3 month for this crap ? Where is my shôjo-ai ?
All i see is 4 moe blob characters who are cliché to hell, with a very poor character development so far. It isn't even funny and the shôjo-ai part is just yuri teasing to turn on idiot otakus so they can buy the BR's...
Too bad since it's nicely animated and "staging" was well done at well. :/

LOL dude, you gotta give it more than one episode...

But I'm going to tell you this right now so you don't get your hopes too high, this is probably going to be more Moe than yuri....

These girls don't seem like LESBIANS to me....they're just really good friends that like to tease each other...

I'm hoping we get some ACTUAL yuri scenes, but I know that I can't expect these girls to do anything too crazy...

I was pleasantly surprised with this show. The first episode was good and kept me entertained. To be honest I wasn't expecting much from this.

It's refreshing that all the girls' VAs are noobies. The characters are cute in the traditional moe way, which is fine by me. I don't mind all the cliche character points. As of now, Kyouko is my favourite character, probably followed by Yui.

Now I'm looking forward to how this will continue, and hope that it keeps me entertained.

This show was more fun to watch than the summary made it sound. I think the character designs are nice and the art is colorful and soft. The plot was simple, but cute and relaxing. I liked the OP and ED; the OP is really catchy and got stuck in my head.

I'm looking forward to seeing about the student council.

Guess you waited in vain, then. Yuru Yuri is not a classic yuri series like Aoi Hana or Sasameki Koto. I wouldn't expect any character development or deeper emotional conflicts, that just isn't the kind of show Yuru Yuri is (judging by the manga's current progress). It's mainly there to make you laugh, nothing else and I guess that it wouldn't have been adapted into an anime if there was "actual" yuri drama in it because let's face it, yuri doesn't sell unless it's "light yuri with a huge portion of moe".

Yuru Yuri reminds me of various anime, the art is like from Nichijou, their club it reminds me of K-on, the forest and the student council thingy feels like from Strawberry Panic .

More lolicons in the world, and they need accommodation so you get more middle school and some good grade school anime.

Personally, I expected more and by more means not that much for this kind of show but I still felt disappointed in the episode.

The only good thing is the ED song and the sister who didn't even show up. Well, it's just the first episode but I don't see much of an improvement on the next episodes anyway so at least I know what to expect next time.

I already love this anime, 5/5. Great OP and ED , very catchy.
( I'm probably too nice to it since I already read the manga and knew what to expect.)

My sole disappointment was that Kyouko wasn't voiced by Kaori Mizuhashi (because whenever I read the manga I always imagined her having the same voice as Miyako from Hidamari Sketch), but I'm sure Yuka Ootsubo's voice will grow on me within a few eps.

This was pretty funny! "You don't have much presence do you?". They really gotta work on Akari's presence indeed. I wonder what's up with that student council.

But above all I really wonder what Akari's siscon sister is like! xD

This show already lives up to its name. Also this is not K-ON done right. K-ON was already done right to begin with. This is more ripoff of k-on's success like everything is nowadays. hence A Channel and various others. This is basically the same except the amount of yuriness has shot up. Its not original lol and its still cant beat K-ON! /end mini rant from a k-on fanboy :P

I actually liked this a lot more than I thought I would.
It's more slice of life and comedy rather than a ton of emphasis on YURI and it's good that it's decided to not do panty shots or other excessive fanservice.

It's been a while since I laughed so hard...

As for the episode, it was ordinary, mediocre, unfunny, but still a tad enjoyable, so I can as well keep watching it. But there's no point in comparing the two: this one here and K-ON!. There are two major differences. The first one, Yuru Yuri supposedly will be shoujo ai - and that would certainly add a few points to its colourless presence. The second difference is crucial: the club in Yuru Yuri is supposed to have fun - and as we could see that's what they actually do. The club in K-ON was supposed to play music, and its members did nothing but ate tons of cakes and basically did everything except playing music...
Well, it's 3/5 for this episode from me.

Looks good so far, an enjoyable way of spending 24 minutes every week. I like Kyouko the most so far, I hope she will bring many more great moments to the series. I have a feeling the OP will stick with me for a while, darn. 4/5.

Edit: Am I the only one who thinks the student council president wannabe girl looks a lot like Senjougahara Hitagi from Bakemonogatari?

So far so good, but it felt like it went by so fast without too much content, though. In any case, the shoujo-ai moments are what's going to separate this from K-On! for me...but since I'm a yurifag, that's alright with me. o/

The anime kinda surpassed my expectations to it. It was very funny and very cute, especially Akari. Poor Akari. The Akari's sister-incest part wasn't really surprising, I kinda find it obvious since I've seen happenings like this in other animes. Anyway, I give this a 4/5.

I felt like Yuru Yuri is more like Lucky Star, and I wonder why are people comparing this to K-ON. K-ON is more moe & less funny.

I really enjoyed the first episode, maybe because I wasn't expecting this to be all about yuri/shoujo ai.
