| I am not sure whether this refers to works necessarily of explicitly sexual nature, but I will assume it does not. I personally loved it. That being said, it was a cute, and well-done Touhou doujin, so I would have liked it even if it was a heterosexual romance. |
| Yes. |
 |
| "What? Are you serious!? Hell yeah!" + Twins! *head explodes* |

| I see, this is Yuri |
 |
| It's good but one of the first I saw are extremely slow.. like take awhille for the story to rise in action.. and even with some kissing or w/e it's boring. but I can be a bit impatient at times. =P |

Sophilia said: Yaoi>Yuri /thread There's a medium solely dedicated to Yaoi....thousands of combined books, manga, light novels, games, anime, hentai! That really doesn't exists for Yuri. Because, most MALE anime fans like hetero relationships in their anime universe than yuri ones. I believe this all stems to the fact that many male anime fans like to fantasize themselves as being the main character surrounded by beautiful girls. This is why Harems are so damn popular in anime. Furthermore, the few yuri anime I have seen is disappointing. For example Strawberry Panic....that shit sucked balls! YuruYuri doesn't really count since that's more about nonsensical comedy. Anyways, I prefer the yuri we occasionally see in regular bishoujo harem anime such as....Kampfer. Damn right: http://chan.sankakucomplex.com/post/show/1702428 |

Sophilia said: but doesn't hentai usually focus on the female characters, at least I would assume so. Of course, since it's targeted mostly to males. I'm just saying that Yuri isn't that popular because the main consensus of males prefer hetero relationships. When I go to many manga sites, they'll usually have genre tabs at the top.....they'll have things like: "Shounen", "Action", "Romance", "Comedy", and yes even "Yaoi". I've rarely seen "Yuri". So, basically my position is that Yaoi is indeed a lot more popular since it's targeted demographic does enjoy it. Yuri on the other hand has a very low demographic. |

Actually, a lot of Yuri/shoujo-ai is targeted toward females I believe. |

insan3soldiern said: Actually, a lot of Yuri/shoujo-ai is targeted toward females I believe. Yes. Like the Maria-Sama anime series. I heard that's mostly targeted for females, and it doesn't have any ecchi. Guys like ecchi a lot more than romance. |
Sophilia said: insan3soldiern said: That is true, and same with yaoi for males. At least, that was the original intent of the creators. Now both are coinciding, as females have taken a liking to yaoi, and males, yuri.Actually, a lot of Yuri/shoujo-ai is targeted toward females I believe. I think guys just like it when two girls get it on, not the actual romance. |
| I don't really have a particular liking towards Yuri or Yaoi, but Yuri tends to be more tastefully done, although rarer. Half of Yaoi seems to be just an excuse for buttsex and that's that, so it's hard to take it seriously. Paul said: I think guys just like it when two girls get it on, not the actual romance. I don't understand how that works. By having two girls together, males are effectively excluding themselves from the relationship and denying their existence. That's just sad in a lot of ways. |
Paul said: I think guys just like it when two girls get it on, not the actual romance. BINGO! We don't care that they're in love with each other and all that other lovey dovey crap....we just want to see some hot girl on girl action. |

I don't think the way you are saying it is any different than yaoi. The female audience is not involved in it either. But regardless, boys will be boys. Whatever works works, if you know what I mean. |

I think guys just like it when two girls get it on, not the actual romance. Well, not every guy is like that. I myself find the subject of the taboo interesting, and this is why I'd probably be cool with watching a well written Yaoi/Shounen-Ai romance some day. Though, admittedly, I'd rather it not be too graphic when it comes to the sex. And, the plot/characters would have to be really well done. |

| Let's be honest here. 90% of the time there's the assumption people would read or watch Yaoi or Yuri because "taboo" sex is hawt. |

Iasuru said: Sono Hanabira, good choice.I'm rather surprised by some of the reactions. Always thought it was a universally agreeable (for men) genre that no one just wanted to make content for. |
| pfft who needs yuri when there's hentai |

| My 1st reaction to.... is... I must have been 13. |
| My Devianart Oh & Space Brothers is still the best anime ever,in my opinion.Even when competing with Attack on Titan. |

| I thought it was adorable. Probably. Yuri is the purest, cutest form of love. |
| "shit, the SayakaXHomura shipping is fucking popular" |
| TONS of Sono Hanabira pictures that can be posted....unfortunately most of them are not allowed. But, either way, that series is the epitome of Yurilicious! |
| And... I know I am probably going to earn a lot of flak here, but Sono Hanabira is one of the great examples what I do not appreciate about the Yuri genre. It either gets played for ridiculous amounts of cuteness/moe, along with lots of sex in Sono Hanabira's case, or falls into this some melodramatic pit of angst that will make even emos stare inexplicably at the lengths it goes to. It's just hard to take it seriously. Of course, I do appreciate the cuteness and all that, but when that is pretty much the only thing you find in a genre, it kind of feels rather empty. One of the reasons why I enjoyed Touhou doujins were because they feel so natural - and actually focuses on the relationship, instead of the artificial moe comedy/sex or angst of the rest. |

When you're seriously criticizing or praising a work, mitigate your bias as much as possible. Quantify what you say within the series context; don't try to get blood from a stone. Example, Anyway, proper yuri anime are still in relative infancy and it's usually a secondary element in shows when it is featured. However, the genre is much more developed in manga. |

When I first saw Yuri When I first saw Yaoi  Both when I was like 12 lol. |

I don't watch R18 for the story. I watch R18 for the sex. |
