I haven't seen any anime with yuri as a central element yet (sheesh what's the hold up?) but I really enjoyed Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne, which included tons of gratuitous girl on girl action. The English dub was done well overall but ohhhhh my god how lame was the theme music for Laura/Apos/angels? I cringed every time it played. It lowered the impact of the scenes.

1. Sasameki Koto (Loved the anime & manga...so much <333)
2. Kannazuki no Miko (I don't care what people say, I think it's amazing)
3. Yuru Yuri (first season was better, but I love it! Seriously praying for season 3)
4. Strawberry Panic (classic)
5. Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl (Loved how light it was. Not what I expected)

*Canaan would be #1 for me if it was technically considered yuri

Well MAL's Genre tags aren't that accurate. Usually those tags have been added before the anime has even aired.

Indeed it isn't yuri. It is Shoujo Ai anime.

Hmmm okay, I accept it. But as far as I know, the term "shoujo ai" is a creature of the West (I and my friends also use it), Japanese don't use it, just "yuri" and レズビアン (lesbian).

Good stuff! My top 5 are:

2. Strawberry Panic
3. Aoi Hana
4. Maria-sama ga Miteru
5. Blue Drop: Tenshi-tachi no Gikyoku

I really wish there were more overt (I don't even mean sexually, necessarily) yuri animes in the shoujo genre, though! :3

Who cares if it's western origin? I think them like this.
Shoujo Ai: Deep ''friendships'',kissing and that sweet stuff.
Yuri: Real lesbians, sex scenes and etc.

Yeah, it's not really a big deal in English terms, it's just what "shoujo ai" actually means in Japanese that's the problem (it literally means young girls' love, hinting towards pedophilia, rather than love between women in general).

1. Strawberry Panic
S-panic is and will always be "the best anime of all time ever created".
this anime is so good, it almost feels like a big chunk of my intiere life has been ript away from me.

this anime actually managed to make a guy of whom hasent cried for over 4 years do so...
12/10
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl
this anime started ( as did and still do many animes) with a fun comedy-type aperence, but then it turned all serious.
this serie was outstanding by my standards... but the OVA suckt and ruined everything XD.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Candy Boy
To be honest, i dont remember mouch of it, as it was like 2 years since i saw it and i have seen like up towards 32 animes since then.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Sasameki koto
was a really good series, i thoguht like. MOFG no kiss!?!?!?
but then i discovered that the manga was at chapter 48, while the anime had ended at chapt 18. so its cool.

Really? How come? There is plenty out there. And girl action yes, but there wasn't really any real love involved in that "girl action". Also, Rin's ending was too weird for me. I didn't like the ending, but the show overall was okay. At first I watched it because I heard there was some Yuri in it, but I lost interest in that and focused more on the show when I saw that it was mostly just a physical type thing.

This is a really though choice, but I would say my top favorite Yuri anime is:

1. Simoun
2. Maria Sama Ga Miteru (Maria Watches Over Us)
3. Strawberry Panic
4. Onii-sama e
5. Bakuretsu Tenshi (Burst Angel)
6. Kannazuki No Miku (Had to add a sixth one there.)

Favorite Yuri Manga: (Even harder choice because there are so many to choose from, so I decided to do a top 10. However, my top 10 usually changes the more I read and as soon as I remember some good ones that I really liked, that I can't seem to think of at the moment. but for the most part, my top five usually stays the same.)

1. Paros no Ken
2. Hajimete Koi wo Shita
3. Hen
4. Gurenki (Creo the Crimson Crisis) (I just am dying for more chapters. They take all year just release one. I hope they don't decide to disruptively cut off the story and rap it up like they did with "Tokimeki Mononoke Jogakkou" another unique and cute yuri manga that was getting soo good then they decided to wrap it up all of a sudden.)
5. Octave
6. Girlfriends
7. Chirality
7. Maya's Funeral Procession
8. Maka-Maka (beware: Yes, perverted; but still really cute.)
9. Shiroi Heya no Futari
10. Junsui Adolescence

I think it is the first time I see Burst Angel in a yuri list ... maybe I should give it a try since I run out of yuri anime after finishing Canaan.

And thanks to your manga list I have a lot to read ... to be honest I'm quite surprised that I only know 2-3 mangas on the list. :-0

Thank you Juffe for bumping!

-Yuru Yuri 1&2-
- Love Yuru Yuri, not sure why but I found the manga more enjoyable then the anime but it's still a fun watch.(Maybe because I imagined different voices for characters? Idk...)

-Kiniro Mosaic-
- The characters are hilarious in this, never got bored and I rewatched it recently and still found it awesome.

-Bakuretsu Tenshi-
- Although the past scenes were ridiculously long for no apparent reason at all the overall series was enjoyable.

-Kannazuki No Miku-
-I don't know, I just liked this more then the rest of them.

Overall I think I enjoy manga over anime but I still like them.

If I could choose something to be animated...
-Girl friends-
-Shitsurakuen- (If you haven't read it, shame on you.)
-Shinigami Alice-(Just one episode though, just to see how it would look animated.)
- Yuru Yuri Vol 10 Intermission 17- (If you haven't read that chapter, read it!)

1. Aoi Hana
2. Sakura Panic
3. Sakura Trick
4. Yuru Yuri 1&2
5. Simoun

I haven't seen a lot of yuri anime so this list will probably change.

If we can count shows with undertones, Madoka will always win out.
Otherwise Sakura Trick and the Sono Hanabira VNs.

I like the yuri undertones and the comedy in Maria Holic but the drama just doesn't do it for me. Although Yuruyuri is probably the only one I would say I dislike.

Though there's still a whole mountain of yuri I haven't gotten around to seeing. I've heard very good things about Marimite.

"Aoi Hana" - without a shadow of doubt. The animation is beautiful, voice cast is perfect and the story is interesting.

"Sasameki Koto" and "Blue Drop" occupy places 2 nad 3.

(I don't treat "Saki" as a shoujo-ai series, though there are some implications and undertones - if I did, it would be my second-favourite anime on the list)

sakura trick is my favorite . this anime has it all comedy ,romance and some hard choices , just like real life. sakura trick is number one . to bad that kade did not find that special somebody . kade was my favorite .


number 2 : shojo sect innocent lovers .
i really liked the story . it was bit rushed at least in my opinion . after watching this mini series i felt sadness , dont know why but it happened .if i think about now , i am sure that puppet legend was making me sad. yes this anime has some controversy but i dont care , i liked it .

those are two favorites so far.
