I saw on crunchyroll ig that this is a romance anime, will it be between the two girls (idr their names) or that'll feel too cliché?

I was gonna say that people really have a problem seeing anything like shoujo Ai or shounen Ai just because of same-sex characters in the promotional image.

Then you said it was Crunchyroll and I'm like "Nooow I see the problem"

Anyway, I doubt it. And if it is, so be it. That shouldn't be something to decide whether to watch it or not. Just decide for yourself, watch the first episode. If you liked it, keep watching; if you didn't, that's also okay.

Personally, I liked it. Seems to be more Slice of Life/drama for now. And very atmospheric, which I loved.

This is an original anime. There's no way to know if it'll be a shoujo ai or not.

The people saying it's absolutely not a shoujo ai when nothing has been confirmed aren't reasonable.

It is an original work, so there's no way to know if it is Shoujo Ai. That's none of my concern though, I don't care if it's Shoujo Ai or not. As long as the story is as good as their other SOL works, I'm fine with both.

It's not usual in this studio to do shoujo ai, their thing is most likely het romance. And since other works from this same director are all het romance, and this series has already presented some male characters which relevance we'll get to know soon, I seriously doubt it.

The most we could get is bait

I don't get it.
With how many BL/Yaoi/yuri/FL (and their respective bait version) animes and mangas are being made nowadays , its becoming difficult to tell what is what anymore . Especially if its original content as well . tags dont help either because
1. MAL tags have a tendency to not be accurate sometimes .
2. Some of the shows would only reveal it is in either one of the top mentioned tags very later on in the series , so until then the viewers are in the dark on that aspect .

in the case with vanitas , i myself was under the impression that it was yaoi , because every KV and pics i saw of it was of the 2 MCs , giving of some real homoerotic vibes , like other yaoi anime KVs. eg:-


It is easily mistakable . Even with this show , how can you be certain that this isnt shoujo ai ? it could very well be one.

And so for people who are not into such genres , It gets confusing , thus they ask the question .

Fair question based on the alternate cover, synopsis and PV, but afaik P.A. Works hasn't really made yuri or yuri bait series besides HaruChika and Canaan. That said, there are 4 female leads and 2 male leads so you never know.

Honestly I would love for the main girls to get together cause I'd love to see more same sex couples in shows that aren't about the romance (or comedy). That kind of shows have always existed (or at least a long time) but one more couldn't hurt, since they're rare gems. But I don't mind either way honestly, I love the vibe of the show as it is and focusing solely on the slice of life aspect would be enough.

Feel like the romance will be between Blue hair girl and the dude who sat behind her at school in the first episode, or the idol girl and him if any. Maybe a love triangle between the two girls and him. I really don’t care either way, guess we’ll have to find out. I plan to

Most likely? Lol, this was never advertised as romance, the trailer or the art never gave anything but a tempting one and a half scenes ... but people continue to speculate so much that their neighbor is the writer of this show. If it really does become yuri, then okay. If not, then I will gladly look at the faces of everyone who wrote about it with the face of an expert.

They are not obligated to tease every content possible. Iroduku wasn't teased as a romance and it turned out to be a romance. I'm not saying there is going to have romance in Aquatope (even if I feel like it will have). What I'm saying is that we can't tell that something is not romance just because it wasn't teased.

Iroduku had a romantic subplot, but it was rather superficial and was never the main theme of the show despite the fact that the show had obvious pairings like some ship bait CGDCT. But in this case, I have too much experience to see when the authors are going to sell me if not full yuri, then at least a ship bait show.

It has been promoted as a coming of age drama like A Place Further than the Universe (themes of finding yourself, friendship, youth, etc.); that doesn't necessarily include or preclude romance.

True. I'm guessing that, at most, there will be one lesbian couple and 2 straight couples because of the gender ratio, kind of like how

There was no lesbian couple there. She came out, but apart from speculations of the level "how she looks at her" there was no canon.

It could be read as an open end, but personally I think it was more of a deconstruction of the cliché "your straight friend return your feeling if you love them enough."

I see it is becoming a trend for yuri shippers lately. I read the HameFura wiki and several people there similarly wrote that they will only hope for yuri because ordinary people are not interested in it.

Shoujo ai or not, if you're a man of culture, you'll understand and accept it since that's how society works. It's 2021 already. Whether it is wlw or mlm I don't care. I'll just enjoy the eyegasm and pick the lessons that I may use in real life. People keep on pushing what they want.

Unfortunately, Twitter somehow normalised the notion, that any form of comradery between two characters of the same gender is to be perceived as homosexual relationship and such wrong impressions are the results.

This is anime original, so we don't know for sure, but it is highly doubtful.
The most you can expect is ambiguous yuri bait.

Wow so much hate on this discussions lol.

While I do think that sometimes people take it too far shipping 2 girls together when theyre having normal interactions, people that refuse to see that theres something more at times also piss me off.

Well its all a case by case thing really but some people are just too set on one side.

I do hate yuri baiting though and this show has definitely done it, like c'mon anyone refusing theyre not yuri baiting are delusional, the pv trailers and the promotional art always has showed their relationship very ambiguous.

Now im a filthy yuri lover myself so i'll admit i'd love this to be a yuri and might be looking too much into things, but when I saw the trailer for this one with a buddy of mine, who doesn't like yuri, he asked me if this was a yuri i was waiting for and that he'd watch it cuz the production values looked great (And cuz i hounded him to watch more yuri), so yeah I dont think its just people "looking too much into nothing".


Truly, comparisons between fellow humans are what turn out to be the most infuriating.
