| Nice. If only it didn't have so much uncessary fan service... |
| it stood up at that part.. it was too lewd.... oh i mean "I" stood up! god i can't stand watching this... this kind of anime is really.. really... really good.. too many lewd scene! xD \ and i was eating while watching this.. it felt great! |

| I DIED........ FROM TOO MUCH SUGAR..... 5/5 |
 |
| Loved it! Was certainly not expecting so many kiss scenes but hey I'm not complaining xD. Well, at least the fan service is not your usual fan service. Fan service in a yuri anime = WIN! |

Litrydow said: Xinisterad said: Nice. If only it didn't have so much uncessary fan service... How is fanservice unnecessary? It makes it less serious but that's about it. I expected a more serious and inoccent romance, but I guess I set my expectations too high. |
| Eh, that OP got really annoying to me for some reason. So it looks like they kiss but not much else develops as far as their relationship goes. So, unfortunately, we don't have anything like Aoi Hana going on here. No matter, this is still more than I could have hoped for. |
| LMFAO! Oh my god. Sakura Trick really is AotS at least. Too funny. Too adorable. Gawd I missed legit yuri anime. NO NEED FOR YURI GOGGLES! GIMME EP 2! |
| Ahem.. That was err.. Yeah, well.. Sweet.. |
 |
| It was... it was... I can´t even describe it with no stalker-lolicon words (?) |

Xinisterad said: I expected a more serious and inoccent romance. I also hoped for that kind of development, the fanservice could have been toned down a bit. Falls more on the "lewd" than on the "sweet" side for >Me< |
 |
| Well... at least they slept together in episode 1. But yeah, it wasn't what I was hoping for. I'll probably stick around for a while, but I'm more interested in Akuma no Riddle now... |

MrsKotobuki said: I was seriously looking forward to this, since real yuri and loving feelings between two women isn't exactly common in anime. I found myself pretty disappointed, though. It was just leg and boob shots and weird moaning kisses that were way lewder than they needed to be. The "humor" also left something to be desired for me. I love Yuru Yuri, but hated this. Why? Maybe because I was expecting an innocent romance story for lesbians and just got fanservice for dudes. Is it that hard to check what magazine its published it? |
| I got turned on by their kiss. I feel like I'm in heaven... |
| This exceeded my expectations. I thought they'd go easy on the kissing and Yuri, but wow they're kissing left and right. Giggity. Judging from the OP the main characters aren't the only couple ( hopefully I'm right ) which makes it even more amazing! Overall, this gets a infinity/infinity score from me. I'm so hyped for an actual Yuri anime! Now I just hope this sells well so it encourages studios/publishers to make more. |
 |
| it's been a while since there was new yuri, so this is alright; not what i wanted, but alright.... girl friends would have been better, though. |
| "Let's make a miracle happen using the power of friendship." "If that was all it took, there'd be no need for training arcs!" "Normal rabbits don't carry guns!" |
| Oh wow. What even was that? That was the most adorable thing I think I've seen all year! And those kisses...if only Chitose from YuruYuri could see this show, there'd be nosebleeds all over the place xD After Pupa and Z/X: Ignition had (in my opinion) crappy starts, it's great to know the new batch of shows has produced something decent. |
xchee said: Mizusi said: I'm waiting for it to miraculously sell well (ahah, right) We can only hope. I wonder what Japan thinks of episode 1. Just don't keep your hopes up though since it could go downhill from here... Yuri animes like Aoi Hana previously flopped in sales despite being a serious yuri title, yet animes like YuruYuri sold a lot more and became a successful show. It only had yuri tones but had a lot of great comedy elements. Right now, we are seeing both of those elements combined here in Sakura Trick. It's both slightly serious and has comedy elements. You don't get to see girls kissing on the first episode in this type of yuri title everyday. |

| I can't breath. I've been waiting for it since a long time. I can die happily now! ** |
 |
| It was decent. Animation was a lot better than I expected. Some parts were quite funny and there were some hnnng moments here and there as well. Might have been better with less boob shots, though. |
 |
| 10 days into the year, I'm just hoping that the anime's this year aren't all fan-service/harem animes. But, I'd be lying if I didn't like this particular one show. |
| Man...Cute girls doing cute yuri things...how much more can you ask for? It's like the best fusion of genres ever!!! |
| dropped. i have zero interest in yuri shows. and ppl who say this has good animation quality..dont fool yourself. its just the kisses. |

I mean you're combining romance so you get shipper types, slice of life so you get the moe crowd and then yuri on top of it for the fan service crowd. Three of the most fervent and easy to please audiences around. Shows like this don't even really have to do much for the audience they cater to other than just follow the checklist and try to find obvious gimmicks, gags and turn ons to get people to talk about at least something in the episode. Watch this be like the next big thing in Japan to. It's just so shameless and so completely obvious about it's pandering, has the typical assortment of cutesy/ditzy characters that will probably get minimal development and characterization and that sort of zany visual cues thing that is all the rage nowadays that it has all the right tools it needs to succeed with those types. Want to really grab peoples attention, just include a scene with some unusual camera angle or slow motion technique of something otherwise mundane or silly happening and watch as people call it genius. I get where you're coming from, mate. But this kind of thing is unavoidable in anime. If an anime can market to the lowest audience to make money, it will. This trend has been around for a while, and this should be treated as any other pander oriented anime. Just because this anime happens to know how to pander to a larger crowd, doesn't mean it should be bashed any more than usual for doing so. And who cares if it makes more money in the process, there will still be better anime airing in the future. Sure, they won't be frequent; but when have they ever? This anime is bad quality, but the perks are fantastic for its intended audience. I personally find a great amount of enjoyment from it. Plus, if this works, we might see better Yuri manga adaptions (like Girl Friends). My expectations going into this were fairly on the mark. I was expecting the romance to be poorly developed and an inclination for this to focus mostly on fanservice. The PVs made that much fairly obvious. |

| Didn't expect kisses right from the first episode O_O |

The fact is this dumb moe moe dime a dozen fanservice anime is probably going to be more highly praised and worshiped than things with some actual merit and sense of decency to it this year. It just really irks me that it's that easy to get peoples praises at this point in the history of the medium and how low peoples standards continue to be. It's really not a good look either for anime or the fanbase. Toppys said: 10 days into the year, I'm just hoping that the anime's this year aren't all fan-service/harem animes. But, I'd be lying if I didn't like this particular one show. Spring doesn't look to be like this, but Winter is just brutal for it. Not that it seems to bother most people, but I'm pretty much drowning here metaphorically. |

| Dropping a series without even WATCHING the first episode. Some people have serious issues. Don't bother even going near the series if it isn't your cup of tea ffs. |
sarroush said: Dropping a series without even WATCHING the first episode. Some people have serious issues. Don't bother even going near the series if it isn't your cup of tea ffs. No, people are going around like this is the greatest masterpiece ever just because it has some yuri and gimmicky art direction. If there's anything this show needs it's some dissenting opinions right now because it's kind of ridiculous. Maybe you know some people aren't super hardcore weird otaku that are aware of things like yuri and the like and just jumped into a show and weren't interested in what they saw in the end and had something to say about it. |
| I've been reading some positive reviews since the first episode aired and was promptly scared that I would get my hopes up and be disappointed. I'm happy to say this wasn't the case and enjoyed every second of it. As someone before me has so aptly put it, this is how Love Lab should have been. And on the topic of comparisons, it feels like watching a mixture between SonoHana and Hidamari Sketch (I'm looking at you footprints representing people walking). Cute, heartwarming, funny and yuri-filled episode. Perfection. 5/5. |

And these dissenting opinions should be coming from people dropping the series before even watching it and going "boring yuri crap, pass" ? If people are going to give opinions, whether it's for or against something, at least have the knowledge before hand. You know, watch the episode, go "not my cup of tea" and THEN put it in your dropped list. Or you know what? If you're not even going to watch the episode, don't put it in your dropped list at all. And this isn't to you by the way. I'm referring to Kerozinn. Unless you did the same thing. In which case, kudos to you. |
| Haruka is a drama queen but besides that things where pretty nice in this anime, i did read a few chapters or the manga a while back and the anime follow it largely from what i can tell. The characters seem nice and it's been a while since a saw a yuri anime so looking forward to next week. Also see some clear bonds already among the characters. |
sarroush said: MagicFlier said: rederoin said: ...sigh, will people ever stop using 'shoujo-ai'? I can dream, can't I? Why? Shoujo-ai is an "american" term. In Japan it roughly translates to liking underage girls. I thought that any female that's under-aged here are those that are still in high school, and this is about a high school life here. Did I get my terms wrong? |
