The show looks like a comedy, as opposed to the usual yuri drama.
I think that's a good idea.

PzIVf3 · 2011-06-11, 07:01

Wha? Yuri? Im gonna check this one.

^ is that a pv or an op? or the song used for op?

Nina.Wolken · 2011-06-12, 07:02

Very much looking forward to this anime. Characters look so cute and PV song is fun too. I wonder if they use it as OP if I will ever manage to sing it properly. That "Yuriyurara" is a real tong twister

.

I'm not familiar with the manga but based on the PV, I've a soft spot for Kyouko. She reminds me of Ana from Ichigo Mashimaro

haha can't wait for the yuri nosebleeds of Chitose!

The official Twitter account for the Yuruyuri anime announced that the music video for the anime's opening theme song "Yuriyurarararayuruyuri Daijiken" began streaming on the Nico Nico Douga website on Sunday. Shiori Mikami, Yuka Ōtsubo, Minami Tsuda, and Rumi Ookubo — the four main voice actresses of the anime — appear in the music video in character, complete with the school uniforms from Namori's original manga.

Midonin · 2011-06-13, 14:15

Another music video with the actresses appearing as they sing the theme song. I wonder how long it'll be before anyone forgets there's supposed to be an anime in here (and/or wishes for a live action version instead).

I see it mentioned there, but the video shown is Ro-Kyu-Bu!'s OP, not Yuruyuri's

.

Edit... seems no script was blocking nico but not youtube thus confusing me...

Anyways the girls in cosplay and full song are cute ^^.

I will say Kyouko is closer to Miu than Ana, but she's not quite either

But yes, Kyouko ftw, she's like Konata of Lucky Star, or Yuno of Hidamari, might not be the favorite, but is the central figure of everything.

Yea it's like even if she isn't you actual favorite character(mine's Yui) you will still have a great big soft spot for Kyouko.

Looks like this show has not only inherited Sengoku Otome's timeslot, it's also inherited its simulcast at Crunchyroll status.

Can you explain more on that "simulcast at Crunchyroll status"?

Midonin · 2011-07-03, 08:35

I don't think there's much to explain, really.

I understand what is simulcast, but what simulcast "in Crunchyroll status"?

Don't know much on Crunchyroll to say the truth, except:
a) the membership allow you to watch the episode almost when it airs, otherwise you have to wait a week or two
b) some anime is not available to you due to your country of resident, no matter what

darkchibi07 · 2011-07-04, 12:36

First episode has premiered though you have to wait until tomorrow for Crunchyroll's subs. Though find it amusing during the commercial break, the girls of Yuru Yuri are advertising the Yuri Hime magazine.

tezu · 2011-07-04, 16:28

So it has finally begun, my most anticipated summer 2011 series. I've read the manga and I must say that I highly enjoyed the parodies, self-irony and breaking-the-fourth-wall jokes.

First Impressions

Spoiler for episode 01:

Content: Episode 01 basically covered chapters 01-04, if not more. It skips around a bit (e.g. chapter 17 was also animated) and progresses rather fast - a trifle too fast for my liking. I was very surprised that they already introduced the "Akari's lack of presence"-gag in episode 01 because usually, you'd let the audience become acquainted with the characters first and then slowly "remove" Akari's presence from the episodes without the audience noticing. That's the whole point of the -in my opinion- brillant joke after all. Unfortunately its effect was weakened because it was immediately given away in the first episode...the animators probably had their reasons. They certainly aren't in a rush, 51 chapters have been published so far and if they cover 4 chapters per episode, they should have enough time to cover all the material with 12 episodes.

Seiyuu/Sound: The main cast is voiced by rookies which isn't necessarily a bad thing. However the seiyuus seem to lack energy or that certain something which made Lucky Star and K-On! so enjoyable. I'm thinking about Katou Emiri (Kagami) or Toyosaki Aki (Yui) who are almost godesses compared to the strangely reserved performance of Ootsubo Yuka (Kyoko). On the other hand, this is her debut after all and she's only 18, so hopefully she'll improve as the series progresses - she has to, since Kyoko is THE show magnet. People always remember the crazy/energetic character, voicing a character like Kyoko could be a seiyuu's breakthrough. Right now Kyoko's voice doesn't quite match her personality, but that's just me being nitpicky. Apart from Kyoko, I also thought that Yui sounded a little weak. Perhaps it's because of her role as deadpan snarker, I'll have to wait for a couple more episodes. Seiyuu-wise, I thought Akari had the best performance which is ironic, considering the fact that she's the one slowly "fading into the background" xD

Next Episode: The second episode is going to be great with Toyosaki Aki as yuri-fangirl Chitose and Katou Emiri as tsundere Sakurako. I'm especially looking forward to the fights between the tsundere couple Sakurako and Himawari xD

In any case I'm sure that Yuru Yuri will quickly become one of my favorite moe shows. I enjoyed the manga more than the K-On! anime, its humor is not inferior to other moe shows and its big plus is the yuri (sub-)text

My oh my, Kyouko combines the worst of Mugi and Ritsu.

Spoiler for ep1:

Midonin · 2011-07-05, 09:47

Yuruyuri 01 - L Channel

I can't tell if this or Morita will fill in the niche A Channel left behind, but any show that has "Yuri" in the name can't be such a bad thing. A cast full of newbies is pretty interesting too, though I recognize at least one of them from another place. (Rumi Ookubo, Chinatsu, is the voice of Ako in Suite Precure)

Akari almost had a complete character arc in half an episode there. I'm curious as to what her idea for making herself stand out was. Her introduction in class was a good start, but not quite there. I like Kyoko already. Her not-very-subtextual-at-all affections are sweet, and her head is clearly in the clouds. Perfect.

serenade_beta 天使な悪魔型 Join Date: Dec 2006	Spoiler for ep1: Mmm... It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but it wasn't that good either. However, it is the following anime to Sengoku Otome, so surely...! Surely...! It will get a lot better as it goes on. ...Maybe. (The first "Akarin~" almost sounded like "Akerin~"...) I liked the character designs though. The OP and ED were a bit... too chaotic. The OP was still okay, but the ED just made me The voices of the protagonist's friends is a bit Bou-hime... But hey, better than listening to Hanazawa or whatever using the same voice for the nth time. Oh wait...
