| My first anime was Lucky Star, and after I finished watching it, I was reading a fanfic about it that happened to mention Strawberry Panic, so i watched that, and i LOVED it. True story. |
| After i started really getting into anime and watching it online i came across strawberry panic. I was so excited when I realized what the show was about c: I had no clue there was a genre like that ^^" So I've pretty much been looking for more yuri and shoujo ai anime/manga since :3 |
 |
| I saw a picture of Yumi and Sachiko on someones yuku profile and thought "Hm, they look so cute I have to find out what this is about...". Never having watch animu before (aside from those morning Sailor Moon dubs as a child) I watched one episode of Marimite and was like... I HAVE FOUND MY TRUE LOVE. :D And that is how I became the fangirl I am today. |

| i think girlxgirl is really pretty so when i got into anime, looked up it, found Candy Boy and the rest is, as they say, history. |
 |
| I was browsing Youtube, and was looking for AMV's to watch. At the time I was only getting into anime, and was already a fan of yaoi. When I came across a AMV with Shizuma, and Nagisa and at first I wished Shizuma was a guy, because she was so beautiful, and would be really attractive as a male. But as I got to thinking, a few days after something compelled me to watch it, despite knowing it was a yuri. Needless to say I caved, and I'm glad I did because I got hooked on SP, along with other yuri/shoujo ai. |
| What you saw at the castle on that windy night ,and what you saw at the bridge last night .. how I smiled, never utter a word to anyone. If you dare speak .. I will find where you are .. And I will kill you. Kill you. I will rip you apart .. crush your bones And eat your flesh.. I will drink your blood. I will .. devour you. |
| Well, originally I wasn't into yuri at all. To be honest, I had just started watching anime around that time and at some point, I discovered yaoi/shounen-ai. While watching the anime Loveless, however, I came across the only two lesbians on that show. I was originally bothered by the fact that there were lesbians in my yaoi anime, but I eventually grew curious and ended up watching my first yuri anime, Strawberry Panic. Well that was all back when I still wasn't sure of myself and believed that I was straight. And well, here I am now, and the tables have turned completely. At any rate, I'm really glad I stumbled upon it. :D |
| A friend of mine mentioned she was watching Strawberry Panic, and it sounded interesting, so I downloaded it and watched it in the course of a couple days and absolutely fell in love with it. I have to say, it is just about the only yuri that I have been completely satisfied with, and its definitely one the best and one of my favorite romance series of all time. Because of yuri and Strawberry Panic, I was able to find romance in other forms and came across incest anime like Koi Kaze, which just truly tugs at your heart strings and is really very beautiful. ^_^ |
     |
| Haruka and Michiru from Sailor Moon were the first yuri couple I saw and liked immediately. It was about 15 years ago. Then there were Utena and Anthy, and Juri, of course. These ladies made me into a yuri fan. And I don't see those true feelings and "real" relationships in most of the newer series as much as I saw them in the older ones. |
| stumbled across Strawberry Panic on this site, unusual romance is the best kind, so I watched it and it's still in my top 5, though after re-watching marimite and SBP over a few times, i'd have to say MSGM is better overall. |
| I was just getting into anime enough to actually search for episodes to watch online, where I stumbled across the Lucky Star opening. I decided the opening was hella-catchy and went on to watch the series. That was the anime that propelled me into Japan-land. While watching Lucky Star and reading the comments about Konata x Kagami or Minami x Yutaka, I started thinking, "Oh, wow, they're right. That sounds like fun to write about." I hopped on over to FF.net and started reading Lucky Star yuri fanfics, got hooked, and decided to see if there were other similar anime. I was soon marathoning Strawberry Panic, Kashimashi, and jumped through hoops to get my hands on anything Candy Boy. Now I can't get enough of shoujo-ai. |

| I think it was KURAU Phantom Memory. I know most would say it isn't really Yuri. But the loving bond between Kurau and Christmas got me interested in the romance/love story side of Yuri. |
| Damn... I can't remember...Oo Umm, I saw a random scene from SP on youtube, and in the comments everyone was like "Ooh, I love yuri" So I was like "Wait, what's yuri..? Oo" It took me a moment to figure it out and then idk... at some point I started reading Yuri manga? Lol, sorry but I really have no idea what actually happened after I saw the vid... Though I'm pretty sure that I had tons of yuri pictures even before I actually started watching/reading something... Okay, but now I feel stupid, I'm probably the one person in here who didn't watch Strawberry Panic... The thing Is, I downloaded the first episode ages ago, watched it and then....well, nothing...Oo And I keep thinking "I have to watch SP after I finish *insert anime that I'm currently watching*" and in the end, I never do...Well...I have to watch It after I finish Jigoku Shoujo... |

| Well mi first yuri was candy boy and I only watched because I thought it was about a boy but the surprise it was about 2 girls and well it has nothing to do with the name of the anime but I say is well-designed so I watched all. In the end it was an regular anime. But then I found MAL and I found it was in the category of Yuri. then I watch Sasameki Koto. AND YURI is super cool |
| umm.. i think i was on a site (i had search "free anime onilne" or something like that) and on the site it was a forum and they talked about yuri , And i was uhh..? what is yuri and then i search it, but i still did not understand xD And then i aske for a good serie and strawberry panic and then i was hocked xD ^^ And then i inffected my sister xD |

| I... don't remember at all. I think I saw a little of Utena a long time ago, but I didn't know it was called yuri. Then, as many of you here, I came across a ShizumaxNagisa picture, and it totally mesmerized me. I wanted to know more about it. I found the series in youtube, and I watched it all in a couple of days. That was like... 3 years ago. How I wish I had discovered it sooner xD |
| Back when I was in high school, I was watching an episode of Sailor Moon one afternoon. It was about a "True Love" contest, and Haruka and Michiru were competing (I didn't know anything about them at the time). I remember that in the English dub, they were referred to as cousins, and I thought it was very odd for two cousins to be competing in something like that. After a little research, I learned what their relationship actually was in the original version, and I became very interested in them. After that, I started reading a lot of Sailor Moon fanfiction, pretty much all yuri-themed. This year my interest in yuri was jump started when I watched Maria-sama ga Miteru, which has become my favorite series now. ^^ |

| A more accurate question would be, how can you not "discover" yuri? I watched a bunch of anime & found Nanoha (You may say its all subtest, but adult women living together, sharing the same bed and being Vivio's two mommies is rather overt to me) and Maria-sama. I don't really scour the net for Yuri, nor do I refuse to watch/read non-yuri. I tend to like the aesthetic of Yuri, so I watch it & now, if a description sounds "ehh" the fact that it has a Yuri descriptor means I will give it a shot. If you want a more dramatic story of discovery, I could make one involving Ninjas and a Gay PRide parade..... |

I wanna hear that story :O yes, it is kind of hard to not deiscover yuri xD And FatexNanoha is canon xD |

| Hmmm well I knew it existed long ago through pairings in fandoms I was in, but I didn't get into it until I started exploring my sexuality and dating my girlfriend. She's very into yuri (obviously, you all know her) and shes getting me into it too. |
 |
| Pretty sure that the first show that I concretely recognized as containing shoujo-ai was Serial Experiments Lain (it's not too strongly shoujo-ai, but the relationship is anything but subtextal). I think that the show that made me prefer girl-girl to girl-guy was Saki, although I could definitely be mistaken. |

| I think I got more curious into yuri when I saw that Chloe (Noir) had romantic feelings for Kirika. Thus sparked my interest and made me look into yuri more. This happened my Sophomore year of high school, around the time Strawberry Panic came out. After SP, I started to look into Marimite, Kannazuki no Miko and Kashimashi. By my senior year, I've been wrapped up with yuri, shojo-ai and reverse-traps. (I discovered many more older animes that have yuri/shojo-ai as a second genre and I realized how yuri was another impact of my anime culture.) Lately I've been into more manga than anime, simply because there is more yuri manga and doujinshi than anime ; s ;! |

| Believe it or not this is what at least started me on my search for Yuri animes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLnicHqPh4A I was just starting out watching anime and always wished they would make side character lesbians into more main characters, and then I was like holy crap they make whole animes bout them! |

| Back when I didn't know what anime was, my sister was watching strawberry panic, looked interesting so I watch some of it, stopped, then learned about yuri. |
| I've been watching anime ever since I can remember .. I watched anime like Lady Lady, little princess sara, daddy long legs, Ninja, Remi, ... and many many more .. I was about 11 or 12 when I watched Oniisama .. and bcoz of school I missed many episodes .. plus in my country there was some scenes that were cut out :'( .. so most of the time I didn't know what's going on LOL .. the story was ruined for me .. but I always loved it even though I never really watched it .. and when I was 13 .. I stopped watching anime .. but about 3 years ago when I was 19 .. I was setting with a freind.. then she started talking about anime and stuff .. as I listened to her I suddenly remembered Oniisama ( brother dear brother) .. so when I went back home I immediately logged into a torrent website and searched for Oniisama .. and downloaded it .. and when I finally watched it .. I was soooo happy that I got the chance to watch this msterpeice .. and Oniisama is considered as yuri but I didn't know that it's yuri .. I didn't even know that there is something called yuri until I read about it in an article over the internet .. and ever since I watched Oniisama .. I never stopped watching anime every kind of anime yuri or shoujo and everything.. and i'm planning to watch even more ;p |

| Saw a video of Kashimashi ~Girl meets Girl~ 's Hazumu transforming a few years back. I just remembered the title last month, so I watched it. And so , it begins. |

| Hmm... When I was 10 years old I was really into Card Captor Sakura and I happened to run across a website with a bunch of Tomoyo/Sakura fanfiction. =w= OWO And at the time I had a really big crush on my best friend so yuri really helped me to figure things out about my sexuality. :3 I've loved it ever since. |

LOOOOL .. I was surprised too .. even though my favorite anime ( oniisama ) is considered as yuri .. I didn't know that there's something called yuri .. in Oniisama U will love every character in the anime even the ungrateful bitchy "Miya-sama" .. I loved and hated her at the same time .. it's probably bcoz my favorite character "Rei-sama -AKA- Saint Juste-sama" was in love with that evil Miya .. wooooow just remembering that anime brings tears to my eyes .. I watched it over 3 times ;p |

| A bet if I can finish Strawberry Panic in a day. I've won (B |

| how could you not? it doesn't take much. just watch a bunch of anime and it'll come up. |
    |
| well i wasn't actually looking for yuri anime but looking at south out of nowhere videos and well i have been bisexual for a time so guess there was no helping it so i already liked anime buti did not know there was yuri anime but when i was looking at one of south out of nowhere videos i saw onw image of shizuma x nagisa in one of the videos so i instantly clicked on the video and looked at the title but i didn't care watching it but for some reason i started looking for images at google so then i ofund another image of strawberry panic and then watched it so after i watched i had like an obsession in yuri anime and manga |
 |
| Wow seems like so many of us got onto yuri through Sailor Moon. I remember being very shocked to see yuri in a mainstream anime when I was younger. What really got me into yuri however was Milk Morinaga's NanaxHitomi stories. Absolutely blew my yuri virgin mind. I promptly went about devouring all the yuri manga and anime I could find lol! |
| looking for lesbian pr0n |
 |
| I think it was during the time about maybe a year ago when i started getting into anime and manga. I mean before then all i watched was naurto(sadly yes) and before that all i watched were dubbed versions of yugioh, pokemon, DBZ all that kinda stuff. Anyways when i did start watching basically anything ive heard about or thought was good, I always went for those shoujo titles when randomly picking out mangas and such and i believe it was reading kashimashi that started to get me into it(not that there wasnt any interest at all before). Afterwards i basically ended up watching kashimashi, reading strawberry panic(the manga), being disappointed in it and watching the anime instead and then being extremely happy with the anime my search for yuri began. |
    |
| Hmm~ I think I was hearing about Strawberry Panic from other people so I decided to watch it for myself. I loved it so I continued with the genre. |
| My brain: Yorozuya Gin-chan -> Yozakura Quartet = Yorozuya Quartet (this is how much Gintama has affected me). |
| I started with the Manga "Shojou Bigaku-Girl's love". I got addicted to that genre, so i continued watching Anime and reading Manga about this Genre and it happens to be my top-favourite genre ;) |
 |
| hmmm... i was doing something and find out about the genre then i came across and watched Stawberry Panic... i just love it... it changed my life... it lead me into realizing i was a lesbian and so im really thankful for that serie ^_^ and since i've came to known i was gay... its natrual that i wanna keep watching what im watching |
