| The amount of people here getting butthurt because of girls loving girls is hilarious. You can literally smell the homophobia... |

Kidding aside, this is actually my first "slice of life" yuri series (there's Kannazuki no Miko, but it got pretty weird with the giant gundams running around....) and i enjoyed it. That jump was hilarious, I have the GIF saved in my phone :) |

Suzune-chan said: Thanks. http://i.imgur.com/pK3xQU7.gifTopic Cleaned Removed the discussion about whether or not there is as much yuri and yaoi I wonder if Yuu's going to be the one begging for Haruka's attention next episode, or if they'll focus on Kotone and Shizuku. |
Hana-kei said: It was basically great. I loved this. Time went by so fast while I was watching this. I can't wait ”Another Sakura color” in the next episode. My only concern is those quakes of breasts. Did they really need that? Yes. Breast jiggle is ALWAYS needed. Plus, it's an anime about cute high school girls kissing. You didn't expect fanservice? That was even more yuri-tastic than I expected, lol. I didn't expect their whole class to be gay. Poor guys at this school are really screwed out of getting a girlfriend since all the hot chicks are busy making out with each other :P Maybe the boys are all gay too? Those kisses were fantastic. And hawt. Our main character is a D-cup and her girlfriend likes it ;) I will probably watch this for my dose of fanservice and yuri. So far not many series this season I'm even pondering dropping yet ... this is going to be a busy season @_@ |
| That was too good and cute! I seriously needed this show in my life (hopefully after this we will get more Yuri anime, not one every 3 years) Such an awesome OP.Great use of scenes and that catchy song *w* couldn't be better. Hopefully quality of animation which wasnt all that bad wont drop after some episodes =) In general, im very pleased with this show. |

Flunkorg said: CVArk said: Flunkorg said: CVArk said: First yuri outing for me. Welp. Do these tend to get relationship-y at all (i.e. Toradora and other school romances), or is this just gonna be kiss-of-the-week? Can anyone recommend me any such relationship-y yuri? There relationship grows, if thats what you mean. Its not really a drama like toradora though. Well, I only read the first book. And episode 1 covered half that. So what do I know? Then I don't suppose you know of any that are a bit more like that, do you? Yuri drama's? I guess strawberry panic counts. But theirs not really much animated that I can think of on the top of my head. Theirs PLENTY of drama yuri manga's though. Well there aren't really any good ones animated. I suppose Sasameki Koto and Aoi Hana are good but it stopped before they got to the really good parts. You're better off reading yuri manga ( a ton of excellent material out there). *puts flame shield on* I wouldn't really suggest watching Strawberry Panic as your early/first yuri anime. Sure there are pairings and "relationship-py" but it's really...shallow. Not to mention it's just a parody of the great MariMite. @Mizusi: yeah such a shame Prism's most likely on eternal hiatus. I liked it too. I mentioned Girl Friends because that's usually what a lot of yuri fans want animated. For me, I'd like to see Octave or Asagao to Kase-San. |

| My friend said that this show was corny for his likes and i was like, Damn! why!? I was literally sad after finding out that he didn't like the show. He's missing something very regrettable though. |

Nae_Gevurah said: *snip* And thank you for articulating to me something that made me consider another perspective. It doesn't happen very often around these parts and I certainly didn't expect it to happen here. MagicFlier said: Another thread where happy fans that are actually happy that a yuri anime has finally come out after all those yaoi years to avoid. Unbelievable how everyone is overreacting... It's funny that people consider things in those terms cause Yaoi vs. Yuri is so far down the list of priorities and factors that I am considering as to be rendered irrelevant. I really honestly couldn't care less about those sorts of things to be honest. My primary drives as far as evaluation and reaction go as always are what is this show, what is it about and how interesting do I find the characters, setting and story. My secondary drives tend to be how good is the artwork/animation from a technical/creative perspective, how much imagination was put into the cinematography, do I enjoy the music, how solid is the chemistry of the voice cast, and how well does the show execute on it's themes and topics. On the primary points I give the show about a 1.5/5, there's just really very little to say about the cast or premise at this juncture. On the secondary points maybe about a 2.5/5 since it's clear they did put some effort into the visuals and Haruka Tomatsu as usual makes the best or the material she's given among others. It's convincing voice acting for what it is, but it's not exactly what I would call riveting dialogue. Considering all of this the final 2/5 score I voted on in the poll and a fairly quick drop seems pretty much the only logical conclusion I can reach. tsudecimo said: Lucilfel said: Why score going down, this anime is perfect. Because some people are mad that this was liked by the majority. Basically haters. What show on MAL doesn't tend to be enjoyed by the majority? I'm pretty sure I've never seen a poll on MAL for anything, even shows that are kind of maligned that didn't have majority 5/5, 4/5 poll results. Also it's not like many of the people that liked it have offered up much of merit for discussion with Nae Gevurah being a rare exception in offering up the perspective of a lesbian viewer that has rather obvious reasons for wanting to enjoy a show such as this. I can totally relate to and understand her outlook on this show and where she's coming from, I mean how many shows realistic appeal directing to the sensibilities of genuinely gay/lesbian viewers and how often do we get the chance to hear from their perspective versus fujoshi and/or horny males that get off to girls making out and the voyeurism that it provides. So yeah you can par it down to that, but really I'm more dismissive of this show and it's fans for the simple reason that a) it's dull, and b) almost nobody seems to have anything interesting or unique to say about it or a new perspective to add that might not have otherwise been considered. You know, make worthwhile and interesting posts and you'll be amazed at how quickly some people will warm up to and want to take into consideration the things you have to say whether they agree with them or not. At least hopefully. |

| This is my first time watching a yuri anime. And I must say, I am not disappointed. Their kissing scenes are strangely hot. |

Kaioshin_Sama said: What show on MAL doesn't tend to be enjoyed by the majority? I'm pretty sure I've never seen a poll on MAL for anything, even shows that are kind of maligned that didn't have majority 5/5, 4/5 poll results. The difference between those who enjoyed and those who didn't is bigger than other airing anime in this season. Also it's not like many of the people that liked it have offered up much of merit for discussion with Nae Gevurah being a rare exception in offering up the perspective of a lesbian viewer that has rather obvious reasons for wanting to enjoy a show such as this. What did you offer? Nobody is obliged to offer something worthy of discussion. Most people use the episode discussions to post their impressions and thoughts and express whether or not they liked the episode. Not to get caught up in an argument. Most people just consider anime as a hobby where they have fun watching it, discussions and arguments in online forums might not interest them. I can totally relate to and understand her outlook on this show and where she's coming from, I mean how many shows realistic appeal directing to the sensibilities of genuinely gay/lesbian viewers and how often do we get the chance to hear from their perspective versus fujoshi and/or horny males that get off to girls making out and the voyeurism that it provides. Good for you. Don't really care, it doesn't concern me and don't have the slightest bit of interest on what lesbians thinks of yuri shows. So yeah you can par it down to that, but really I'm more dismissive of this show and it's fans for the simple reason that a) it's dull, and b) almost nobody seems to have anything interesting or unique to say about it or a new perspective to add that might not have otherwise been considered.

At least hopefully. A/ That's your opinion and slice of life shows are not meant to be exciting in the first place. B/ Same as you. What did you say here that you think is interesting? Nothing imo. It's just the same tired drivel that eventually gets off topic into the anime industry and your ignorant statements about it. I don't get this entitlement you have. You demand that people post interesting and unique stuff? well I'm sorry buddy the world doesn't work that way. If you want intelligent discussion, I suggest you go to animesuki forums. |

| So much HNNNNNNNNNNG Best anime of 2014 |
  |
| That ain't kissing! That's just plain making out!! |
| Comedy centered, but was pretty decent. Seeing how each pair ends up is gonna be interesting |
| This anime is so adorable. I honestly wasn't expecting them to kiss so many times in the first episode but I'm not complaining. |
| what is a person with SAD to do.. |
| ALL THE YURI!! <3 Finally we don't have to put up with the "overly obvious subtext" trope that accompanies the anime titles that could easily be called shoujo-ai (coughsakicough). |

| ALL THE YURI , HELL YEAAHHHHH \O/ DEEN THANK YOU SO MUCHH!! ANIME IS SAVED!!! AOTY!!! |
| Woo this is much better than I expected, now I want mooorrr |
| This was cute and full of fluff but with little substance. Does that means it's bad? No, but it'll need more if it intends to keep me entertained in future episodes. |
 |
| Oh my god, I think I just got cavities from watching this show. All that excessive sugar all over this episode. I couldn't even get past the first 3 minutes because of my heart. TwT |

Kaioshin_Sama said: tsudecimo said: The fact that you think this will sell in Japan. And plenty of other stuff where you spout bullshit in the news board then being proven factually wrong. Just answer it. If you actually offered something worthy of discussion, unique or/and interesting then I won't discredit it. Pretty sure it is. Still a loaded and subjective question, but how do you not expect this show to sell in Japan when it basically has all the pieces that generally seem to make up at the very least a modest hit. Even I'll admit that while it's pretty much pandering dreck it gets the pandering right. I doubt it'll contest with the likes of Kyoani Show #18 and Saki but I could easily this being #3 on the bestseller list for this season if the first episode was anything to go by. I think that's a topic worth discussing. http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=725211&show=120#msg27595067 |

| 11/10 expecting 100% more kisses and leg shots in future episodes sometimes you just need a break from all the serious shows to enjoy fluffy yuri with petals and pastel colors everywhere |
| Yes! Some yuri aimed at men. That escalated quite quickly too, and plenty of kisses for a first episode as well. |
| The jump was the best I've ever seen. Good episode. |
 |
| Set hella high expectations for this anime. Went above and beyond my expectations. Yuu chan hella saved Haruka chan from falling off the 2nd story but the way she did it was comical but still epic. Damn, they ain't playin with the kissing. I counted 4 kisses from Yuu and Haruka while the entire series of Sasameki Koto had one Genix said: Yes! Some yuri aimed at men. That escalated quite quickly too, and plenty of kisses for a first episode as well. Idk if it was aimed at guys but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Also Haruka got some meat on her, she's those girls that look skinnier with clothes on like Miho Nishizumi from Girls und Panzer would be a good example. |

But it's hard to get off to anything that doesn't have any adult women characteristics like large tits, ass, and thighs. http://imgur.com/qgjKHGn |
