Hi Fujino-sensei,

I know it's been WAY too long, but I finally completed my PhD on yuri and it's available for free online (all in English):

http://ubt.opus.hbz-nrw.de/frontdoor.php?source_opus=944

Unfortunately, the results of the English fan survey didn't make it into the final version, but Part III sums up the results of the Japanese version of the survey.

If you have any questions, go ahead and ask, I'll happily answer (almost) everything :)

Heeeeey, where are you? I miss you :(

Hope everythings going good for you and happy new year!

Lol, it actually got pretty cold and it snowed enough this year too. Luckily that weather has passed and now finally spring and summer will be coming, lol.

Yeah, it happened with me again lol. The plus side is that I actually got a job and have been busy with that ahah.
Not a problem and thank you for that too :)

Lol, yeah the future is unpredictable...but still you gotta do what you gotta do, lol.
Well aside from English I can fluently speak my native language, Punjabi.
I know bits of french, not too much. I can swear in multiple languages, lol.
I actually wanted to learn Spanish, Italian and Japanese.
Japanese I really decided to learn the language because of karate. It's a Japanese martial art so I should know the language too, at least I think I should.

Lol, the one female badass I like is Revy from Black Lagoon, she's too funny, lol.
But to be honest, I haven't watched any of the anime you listed there, lol.

Nah, I like the side stories, lol. It makes the conversations that much better.
I don't know if you can tell from my characters list but I like samurai or sword wielding characters, lol. and yeah most of them are badass, lol.

I actually started downloading fate zero and now I'm waiting for the download to finish up ahah.

Btw, I was taking a course on a Classical Mythology revolving around the Greek Gods, lol. Had to do a lot of work on those gods and the ancient works like the illiad and the Odyssey.

So, what have you been up to these past few months?

Hey! It's been a while. Same here, too late reply. Sorry about that.
How are you? How was your Christmas and New Year?

Ohh. Now I see where you're coming from. Well. That's kinda interesting to see. 2 girls chasing each other? I wonder how would that turn out.
Yeah. I now think Yuri as a disease. It's hard for me to watch anime with Romance as a main genre or those anime with unnecessary romance plot. I kinda want a cure, but I just love Yuri.
Haha, shiver. For me, I shake my head and face palm at times. Reverse Harem is basically just like Harem. It's just a girl with a bunch of guys. No worries, I don't read manga unless it's Yuri. Well, there's an exception though, 5 centimeters per second. I highly recommend it. :>

Why? Hm. Ahh. I think I have to blame anime for that. My world was consumed with it. I was watching like crazy, 24/7. My body clock was suited to the other side of the world. Lol. Glad that was over. It's pretty much the exact opposite now. I got a job and met some friends who like to go outside and party.

Little trips? Like going to the park or out-of-town? Must be nice. Do you have a hobby outside? Like photography or something?
Ohh. Yes. The money. Why is Europe so expensive anyway? My friend and I planned to go there this summer. But we don't have money for the hotel and her relatives would be busy to accompany us.
Why wouldn't you have the time for vacation here? Is it because of work?

I sure do hope so this is the last year. You see, my college don't really have freshmen, sophomores, etc. I just said that because I was on my 3rd year as a college student. Not really sure about how college works in your place, but in my school, you graduate as soon as you finish all the courses needed in your major.
Anyway, right now I have to transfer to a university to take my major courses. And that I didn't enroll this semester. :P
How about you? Are you still in school? What's your major?

It sure does. That's why my reply was late. I only had time to update my lists and browse new anime.

Yea, see you. And stay well!

I was studying English Lit. Oh yes, nothing beats the feeling of freedomeeee. I'm going out more now and having more fun. :D

Naw, they're scary alright, but I loveeee to play them. I think I like to get scared, the feeling is good, when you're trapped in close space and hear things creeping in the background it puts you on your toes. :p I haven't played Tomb Raider games, they seem fun but for some reason I never thought of trying them. I have all Assassin's Creed games (my brother bought them) I only played the first Assassin's Creed game and it's good, but not my type so I'm taking my time with it. :p Have you played Dragon Age: Origins? This game is A M A Z I N G, after beating it twice the file got corrupted and now I have to delete it and start over. *sob*
Ohhhh I can't wait~ For me it's the other way round, I used to watch anime online, but when I downloaded my first anime and noticed the better quality (you can't compare stream with 1080 HD) I never looked back. Though the only drawback is that I run out of space but that's a small price. :p

The first season is different, you see the characters (the main ones) and understand more about what they do (dolls, contractors, etc.) The second season picks from there, after the OVA actually, you should watch them in this order: Season 1, the OVA, Season 2. The story will make perfect sense that way.

Yeah I like that aspect as well, it's so natural and no one even mentions it. I totally love that, but so far there has been only that one scene that hints that something is going on between Yayoi and Sawashiro Miyuki's character (forgot her name xD) Yeah I have the feeling that most of them will die JUST NOT MY YAYOI PLEASE ;__; I'm still not caught up with the latest episodes so I dunno what's really happening. Kinda not been in the mood to watch anime lately, only watched Black Rock Shooter (tv) and omg it was awesome! It had everything I love to see and the yuri element was there! I just love it so much. Wish it was longer than just 8 episodes, I hope there will be another season for it.
Exactly, I only want to watch those generic harem anime when I'm in a certain mood, otherwise I'd hunt for mature\dark anime. These days I'm watching Gilgamesh; it's so dark and depressing. I mean really, it's almost devoid of colors, everything is this gray-ish color that makes you lose hope and think that nothing good is going to happen. Gotta love those kinds of anime, sadly they don't make these anymore. ;u;

Hehehehe well can't really resist badass women. They give me all the dokis <3 I miss characters like the Major (Ghost in the Shell) Revy and Balalaika (Black Lagoon) these ladies are legendary.

Not a problem, we're friends so we can at least respect each other in that aspect.

Haha, yeah I haven't made a snowman since elementary school, LOL. It's been snowing quite a bit now but, it randomly gets hot sometimes. Like last week it was 6 degrees Celsius and now its down to -11, lol.

It's not just hard there, it's hard here too, lol. I've been looking for a part time job that I can go to during the weekends but, shit it's hard getting accepted, LOL. You just gotta keep trying though!

Yeah, ahaha! I feel exactly the same way when the break starts! Yeah, I read your post on the day you posted ( I don't know why but, I never get to replying right away, lol. I end up waiting and waiting and waiting, lol) and time flew. I've already finished a month of school and it feels like my winter break JUST ended, lol. I hope the momentum keeps up and the school year ends tomorrow, lol.
Thanks, it's better now!
Oh, I hope everythings worked out fine for you! I know we haven't known each other for a long time or whatever but, if you ever need to talk about something, I'll listen.
Wow, that's nice! I've wanted to learn a few languages myself and karate. I'll be spending quite a bit of time learning those things that I want to learn after schools done! Yeah, you should do whatever you can that helps you in getting a better and stronger job. Good luck with the language and when things get hard, chin up, chest out and keep pushing!
Have you ever considered going to a different country? I know it's hard to leave the place you've called home for so long. Idk, it's just a thought that crossed my mind.
Haha, I'll definitely give them a watch since you recommended them but, first I have to watch Fate/Zero or stay or what ever it is, lol. That's the first one you told me to watch when we met, lol. Which one do I watch first from that series?

Thank you too!

Lol indeed! Time sure flies. :3 Nah don't sweat it, real life is more important. Things are going well for me, I graduated like a month ago and now I'm enjoying my new found freedom. :D How about you?
I'm more into action\survival horror games. My absolute favorites are Resident Evil and Silent Hill. I do play others like Dead Space, Resistance, F.E.A.R. Dragon Age, Mirror's Edge and others. I play a variety of genres to be honest, but those are my favorites.

Omg yes she is! <3 I can't wait to see Fate/Zero, I just need to watch more stuff and delete them because I need the space to download Fate/Zero and I literally can't wait to see more Saber awesomeness!

Darker than Black is amazing, though I like the second season more. It's so heartbreaking and gives me so many feels. ;A; Psycho-Pass is pretty good! And I love the yuri hints thrown here and there! I dunno, I like those dark themed anime for some reason, I like the mystery and the mature themes\characters. Because most anime are set in high schools with high school kids. I like older characters and office\work settings instead of schools. Hummm, suites? Oh yes! And both ladies has long dark hair and are absolutely hot and amazing and you just keep staring at them and wish they get more screen time but they don't and you feel all sad and miserable and... or is that only me?

Happy new year to you too~

Haha, no worries. I've taken about 6 months at one point to log back on and reply, lol.
It's alright, not as cold as it used to get but, still cold. Haha, yeah sometimes it snows. Again, not like it used to. It used to so snow a lot here before but now it's not as much.

Haha, that's cool then. Just keep doing what you like. You will eventually find a job sooner or later. Until then I guess you can just look around for some small job to help you keep going until you get the big one, haha.

I've been alright. Was off all of December but, now I'm back to school. Just finished my second week back, haha. I can't wait for this semester to be over and for summer to come around. I ended up spraining my knee almost two weeks ago, lol. It's been hurting for a while but, it's getting better now. What about you? how have you been?
Also, happy new year, wish you all the best this year! haha

Mine is late because I was on vacation then school OTL
Yep, gaming is the best thing to do, I'm not happy with the fact that I can only game during weekends these days, not happy at all. :x Naw, I went broke with my gaming spree, I bought around 15 new games that I'm waiting to play (but one at a time, gotta keep some saved for later :p)

Indeed it is! Especially at night because I can't sleep if I'm feeling too hot.

Well I haven't seen Fate\Zero so I can't comment on the difference. But even in Fate Stay\Night, Saber was a very admirable character, she was a true knight and works by code and oh so noble and amazing I couldn't get enough of her.

Sadly they did, I started early September and I'm ready to go on break now. ;__;

Heyy! I'm sorry for the late reply as well. Likewise! I always reply too.
Hmm. Kinda intrigued. Why wouldn't you get along with Shizuru?

Ohh. I definitely know what you mean! The layout I have now took me a day to make it. But took me months to actually start doing it. Haha!

Oh yeah. I really didn't take a look at your list huh? Sorry about that. Guess I need my eyes checked. I'm not that really into action. But if the plot picks up my interest, then I'd go for it. I've actually noticed that before. It seems like they like the word "zero" for their titles.
I can understand you. I've read a couple of Yuri action manga. I guess the written SFX wouldn't make up for the real sound?
For the genres I like, before I discovered Yuri, I was open to all. But now that I've discovered Yuri, I guess I've become close-minded. Maybe Yuri's not only one to blame. Maybe because I've grown-up too? So now, I try to avoid harem, and even the reverse harem. Also, those het grade school love stories. And I guess those anime with annoying tsundere main characters. I'm not saying that all tsundere characters are annoying, just some of them.

Awesome! I'd actually love to meet kuuderes in real life. Haha. Oh yes! They're so much better than tsunderes! :P

Ohh. I see. I'm from NJ. The weather here is the same as ever, I guess. I can't really complain about it. When it's summer, it's really hot. And when it's winter, it's really cold. Or I guess I don't really care about the weather at all? I don't hang outside anymore. Haha. Have you been in the US before?

Hey, no worries! You gotta relax while you still can. :D I actually envy you for that. haha.
Microbiology. I really liked it. It's way faster than Fall and Spring semesters.
Hmm. I'm on my 3rd year of college this year, but I'm still on my teenage years. haha!

Ohh. And I didn't expect to get such a thorough reply. I appreciate it. :)
