This looks like another one of those shows where the focus is going to be drawn away from the story and onto the romantic subplot.

Look, I get some people have a fetish for lesbians and lesbianism is the only thing they want in anime. Good for you, but for this series it already looks like too much.

Too many anime have been brought down by the need for the show to fit a certain type. It happened with Cross Ange with the fans only focusing on that aspect and it ruined the Hibike Euphonium discussions for the most part.

Please just please don't let it happen again. Whether it's yuri or not, the show looks promising so don't drag it in the mud if it doesn't cater to your fetish or if you feel somehow offended by it.

In this universe I'm pretty sure his name is Hitleria, if the country naming scheme is to be followed.

I hope you don't "drag it through the mud" with your weird hetero fetish, but since this thread exists, I suppose it is too late for that.

You think I'm attacking gay people?

All I want is for the discussions to not turn into some flame war discussing romance and sexuality, a clear subplot of the series more than the actual events happening. I've got nothing against shounen ai and shoujou ai. Just don't let it derail the conversations.

If you picked up this series for yuri, I'm not so sure whether you'll be happy in the end. By this series looks like too much, I'm talking about the discussions. Go into the episode 1 discussion and look at how much it's brought up.

There hasn't been any hint of romance or even a romantic sublot in the show and it's already like the only thing people can talk about.

Don't worry though, this season has a ton of yuribait/maybe actual yuri shows for you. You should watch flip flappers when it airs and all the mahou shoujo stuff.

I know it's not yuri, and I am aware it's bait that adds up little to no development to the plot whatsoever. But I usually avoid all discussion on the first 3 episodes because, honestly, dealing with 1) crack yuri shipping faggots is annoying and 2) dealing with people who get so frustrated at the sight of 2D lesbians is equally or even worse. If anything, this will end like Sora no Woto


But hey, I guess we do have to grasp to the few yuri substance we have left, since no actual yuri shows are getting animated any time soon and, if they do, it's shit like Sakura Trick and Akuma no Riddle and lol sales flop; unlike fujoshit that has its sales skyrocketing every time and will keep doing well and getting bigger.

As for the rest of this season, I don't believe it from past experiences with seasons that were basically slice of life with the token secondary character gay girl that was a joke character with little to no meaning or just out-of-nowhere yuribait that didn't even fit the stories, but I appreciate the good wishes.

Wanna know something fun? Girlfriends isn't the epitome of yuri manga and never will be, Morinaga is a weak writer (and artist in general, bad art) and there are so many more titles that shit on Girlfriends that it makes me wonder why, oh why, people still suck on its titties to this day. I read that crap twice, it really doesn't do any justice for what it tries to be. And yes, I could smoke yuri if I could, it recharges my batteries - my scores are just low in general.

To be fair, uh, most European countries had 'ia' at the end originally or do so already in their native language. Francia, Germania, Britannia, Italia, Scandinavia, Austria, Espania, Serbia, Moldavia, Romania, I could go on you know. It's no surprise that in foreign languages they're called by their original names. For example, in Hebrew the aforementioned countries are called Tsarfat, Germania, Britannia, Italia, Scandinavia, Sfarad, Serbia, Moldavia, Romania.

I could put money that that's almost exactly what's going to happen. Except he or she or both will die at the end, guaranteed. Possibly get resurrected by Izetta.

I though the same in the same second when he appeared. And he will be hated by everyone who want them yuri couple. I can almost see it.

If that doesn't happens, I will be really surprised.

Thank god someone pointed out how wrong that statement was. I was going to if no one else did but luckily I didn't have to. Should be common knowledge... Should be basic stuff in world history man... Or for some one interested in history(or why else would one watch an anime based on WW2) this should also be basic.
Unless people really did come here due to yuri/waifu bait, then I understand what OP is talking about and would agree with his statement.
For some one that is in MAL should have watched enough anime to see these names used at least once anyways.

I can't believe that this is going to be my first forum post, but I feel like I need to say something for any (& as an actual) gay person within the anime community...

Have you ever considered that for gay people this is basically all they've got?
And yes by this I mean yuribait (or queerbait in general), as well as more or less passionately discussing it over the internet, because no one wants to watch shitty f*cking yaoi or yuri. Not when you can watch heartwarming shounen-/shoujo-ai subtext, possibly leading to an actual romance, with a good story overall.

So what's wrong with rooting for a queer ship if it comes across naturally and likeable, bait or not? If I wanted my actual fetishes to be covered, I'd just go read about people disapproving of discussions about possible romatic subplots when they're really just starting another discussion about a possible romantic subplot. Oh wait <3

So yeah, I really liked the show so far and I'm also very fond of good chemistry between good characters, again; bait or not.

My thoughts and my point exactly when I first responded to this like a little sarcastic idiotic cunt. If there's something yuri fans can hold on to, since there's barely any actual (and good) yuri material, then obviously they will try to hold on to what's remotely reasonable and/or heavily implied as much as possible. I'm into heterosexual romance, but I'll obviously be way more into yuri given the fact that I'm a lesbian myself (hell, even straight guys/girls are into it too), at least I'll feel like I can relate to it on a closer note.

I dont see you making threads like this in all those shows with their straight romance subplot, you know how many of these are? A LOT compared with yuribaiting shows with good plot so yeah...


And tbh If the discussion turn into shipping stuff it would be because the plot isnt that interesting.

I just don't want a shitstorm like an entire episode's thread just being dedicated to salt and people drinking salty tears because two girls touched each other fondly.

That's literally all I'm saying. This is as much for people who like yuri and people who get butthurt by it.

Well actually I don't want it to devolve into yuri disgust either?
Can we just talk about the shows?

It's already happening with Euphonium AGAIN. It's just episode 1.

Regarding the season being oversaturated with yuribait, it's because it's the 25th anniversary of CardCaptor Sakura. That show's a magical girl show and magical girl shows have basically become "action lesbians " the genre.

I was hyped up about the show until I saw who was responsible for writing it. Same person behind Vividred Operation, which flopped like a limp noodle. Shallow characterisation at most. Even if this show starts off decent, I can't expect it'll maintain any quality glimpsed in the first episode.

If this was a romance anime, I wouldn't post this, because that's the focus.

Have you heard of the anime To Aru Hikuushi E No Koiuta? What about Junketsu No Maria?

Those anime have pretty strong romantic hetero subplots and yet the discussions were NEVER disproportionately fixated on them. This only happens to these kinds of shows.

I don't even know where the offense comes from. It's not like I'm saying it's bad for you to want homosexuality in the anime. I'm saying to not let it disproportionately affect the discussion to the point where the actual events in the story get overshadowed by salt and butthurt.

It happened (is happening) with Euphonium. It happened with Cross Ange, and I'm tired of it. I don't want it to happen again, so I'm mentioning it b4 it does.
