Saki
daemonblade1229 said: Is it because it never overtly and explicitly demonstrates sexuality? yeah, probably this. after taking a look at the "Shoujo-Ai" section of the anime list, it appears to me that the only ones qualified to be in that genre are those in which a yuri relationship is pretty much the focal point of the story. as heavy as the overtones are in Saki, it simply doesn't fit. |

| And I thought Canaan pushed it. This has got to be the most yuri non-yuri anime ever. I can't even count how many times I was thinking, "Just kiss already!" |

daemonblade1229 said: I don't know if I've missed some critical threshold where it becomes shoujo-ai, but it seems to me this that this could be it. It it because it never overtly and explicitly demonstrates sexuality? That shouldn't be the case since MAL itself states that as long as their relationship is strong enough, it's shoujo-ai. MAL said: Shoujo Ai - Anime whose central theme is about a relationship (or strong affection, not usually sexual) between two girls or women. Shoujo Ai literally means "girl love". http://myanimelist.net/info.php?go=genre |
| But that relationship isn't the central theme of Saki - not even close in fact, no matter how many references and allusions it gets. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
kuuderes_shadow said: IT IS NOT???!!!! Then what is....But that relationship isn't the central theme of Saki - not even close in fact, no matter how many references and allusions it gets. |
| Well... Saki is yuri overtones with mahjong undertones. :P lol. Well, like kuuderes_shadow said. |

| I prefer to call it YURI than Shoujo-Ai which is a confusing term to use. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| I'm surprised it isn't. This is as lesbian as it gets outside of hentai. |

Well, like kuuderes_shadow said. yep, just a lot of yuri overtones, could technically be shoujo-ai but isn't really one since the relationships aren't stated as 'romantic love', just overly blushed friendship.. they fixed it in Achiga-hen though, will probably look lighter in the second season that's about to be released |

| though this post is old i just wanna ask who are those characters in Redfoxoffire comment |
| If you mean her sig, Watanabe Saki and Akizuki Maria from Shinsekai Yori - a truly brilliant story, but if you want to watch it for girl's love then that gif contains about 50% of the entire yuri content of the anime. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| ...the mahjong is anything but thrown in. Mahjong is the main focal point in this series, not the yuri. |
 |
| Strangely enough, the rating isn't R for nudity. I guess one episode showing their boobs doesn't count... |
| Never use shoujo-ai again. Use Yuri instead. ;) It's a yuri anime with mahjong undertones. *shrugged* |
